AR objects. Oy. So now that that wasn't working, at all, I turned to Google and I did some research via a great Skorks article . Apparently you can serialize in Rails, automatically, via YAML or by using the marshal command. The benefit to using marshal is its binary which means its smokingly fast. Or at least as fast as anything in Rails is.

So I tried wrapping my data element like this: Marshal.dump(res)

to store it (res was the result of the database operation). …

…'s talk Public Static Void gave some context around Google's new(-ish) language, Go , which I'd pretty much ignored. A few choice bits:

"there's a false dichotomy between nice & dynamic & interpreted, and ugly & static & compiled"

Scala is "beautiful and rigorous"

(my favorite) "a language should be light on the page"

Processing

I got to show Processing to a bunch of people, which made me happy …

Enter the figures into my Google Spreadsheet.

Wait for the remittance advice from Apple to confirm that I have received payment for a particular region.

For each region I've received payment for that month, manually create an invoice in FreeAgent detailing the number of units and the unit price from me to Apple (this will be 70% of my app's sale price net of any sales tax) 1 in the appropriate currency. If the payment covers more than one period (because the previous …

If there is a concern about cloud applications that we here of these days, then it certainly is the security of cloud apps. Where is the data stored? How secure is the environment? Can it be as secure as if you were to store the data locally? Of course it can and we invite to contact us for details how secure your data is. However, Google has some news that will change perceptions.

Cute, but seems too clever. I got this when I forwarded a message where someone earlier in the thread had talked about attaching. Wonder if Google tracks false positives in the wild?

…business justification for it. Maybe one day Confluence will support S3 or Google storage as the backend for attachments, until then, keep the size limit low.

The db should be hosted on a dedicated server with lots of RAM. I'm fortunate enough to have DBAs that take care of running the DB for me, so I don't have to worry about that part. A good DBA , MANY FAST disks (possibly SSD) and lots of RAM are the key ingredients to well performing db. Of course, make sure the latency …

…, came from Paul Buchheit , who also created Gmail and coined Google's alleged motto, "Don't be evil." Buchheit's excellent pedigree made a lot of people who should have known better pay attention to FriendFeed, a site which did nothing but aggregate your RSS feeds from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc., all in the same place.

The story behind Gmail is relevant; Google already had a message archiving and search system for Usenet, and Buchheit…

MapReduce, search, algorithms, networking, communication, and on ad infinitum. For every Google that breaks out there must be thousands of other potential ideas that go nowhere, even in this hyper-VC aware age.

We need to do is a better job of using the research. There's a lot out there in the literature that we could be making use of right now, but it's closed off from the people, i.e., developers, who can turn this research into gold. And it's largely closed off because researchers …

1) Use " UserStats" functionality from Google patches , which is now available in Percona Server and MariaDB. This is the probably the easiest and most accurate approach but it

does not work in Oracle MySQL Server. set userstat_running=1 and run following query:
