i am getting mad at a stupid discussion on reddit

these morons are discussing ruby on rails speed and this guy says 'yes you can easily handle 50k requests' and i'm like 'what that's ridiculous what does that even mean' and everyone seems to be agreeing that claiming a web framework can handle 50k requests is a meaningful and reasonable thing to do.

well back in the early days you had to restart rails every 200 requests due to all the memory leaks, so being able to make it to 50k sounds impressive to people used to that

sure if you count a request as something that doesnt do anything, which is a stupid way to measure the performance of a web application.

The MUMPSorceress: Jan 6, 2012; ^SHTPSTS; Gary’s Answer

my guess is that syntactically it looks a bit like an intrinsic way to do assignments serially on a line so you might expect that both values would end up the same due to one operation being done first. instead it's actually a swap which is a little surprising to see come out of a plainish looking assignment statement.

although usually if youre using a swap in any language and it's not some low level optimization poo poo youre probably doing something hosed up

http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#keyword-names

quote:

Keyword names used in the test data are compared with method names to find the method implementing these keywords. Name comparison is case-insensitive, and also spaces and underscores are ignored. For example, the method hello maps to the keyword name Hello, hello or even h e l l o. Similarly both the do_nothing and doNothing methods can be used as the Do Nothing keyword in the test data.

in other words to be pretty sure that touchButt method is not used anywhere, you have to grep for (case insensitevely)

code:

t(?:\s|_)*o(?:\s|_)*u(?:\s|_)*c(?:\s|_)*h(?:\s|_)*B(?:\s|_)*u(?:\s|_)*t(?:\s|_)*t

sorry for being vague about that. the idea is that it swaps the value of two variables without requiring me to declare a third variable, because the syntax forms and then unpacks an anonymous tuple with the results. you couldn't do that with 1-to-1 assignments.

E: I was using it to do a really short fibonacci thing:

Python code:

def yield_fib():
	x0 = 0
	x1 = 1
	while True:
		yield x0
		x0, x1 = (x1, x0 + x1)

vodkat: Jun 30, 2012; cannot legally be sold as vodka

Hello thread, can I post some bad code for you to tell me what I'm doing wrong/how to make it better?

Im currently trying to clean a list of names in a database. Since I'm just a stupid grad student (a social sciences one at that) something like the code bellow has always been good enough for what I want to do but now I'm trying to use it on a larger dataset its taking loving ages and its clear that I am probably doing this in a horrendously inefficient way.

code:

def clean_names2(name):
    if type(name) == str:
        name = name.upper()
        name_list = re.split(' ', name)
        name_list = set(name_list) - set(prefix)
        name_list = set(name_list) - set(postfix)
        name = ' '.join(name_list)
        return name

for n in data['col']:
        data.loc[n, 'col'] = clean_names2(data.loc[n, 'col')])

I'd really appreciate any advice you guys have since most of my programming knowledge comes from googling things and stack exchange so I really have no idea how to start about making something work better.

how are you loading the data? you need to be loading the data in batches, processing a batch, outputting a batch, and loading the next batch.

it looks like you're loading everything into the data variable and then processing in one go, which won't for large datasets

also it could be something dumb in your code but i don't know Python well enough to tell you

i love that c++ has a thing outright called "defensive coding"

C too. for example if a function returns -1 for failure, you don't check == -1, you check < 0. if it returns 0 for false and 1 for true, you check != 0 instead of == 1. also when a function returns both a success flag/error code and a value through a pointer, you don't trust the returned value if the function reports success, you explicitly check that it's valid/non-null/etc. which can turn a crash into a controlled failure
