Cortada No SQL

by Fernando Blat | about 3 hours ago | Read more

Lately, I have been so curious about alternatives to relational databases. Deeping a little bit exist a lot of interest about topics related with it.

The most important that I have found recently is the NoSQL conference, with lot of talks and information about Voldemort, Cassandra, CouchDB, and so on.

You can find some notes about that here too.

I'm still suspicous about all this technologies, specially because it implies a hard change in the way to model and consume data, moreover when SQL and RDMBs are very valid nowadays, and (for sure) they have a big future, but they offer a lot of advantages that you have to know in order to take advantage if you have the chance.

H2cm Relationships matter: Society Guardian & The WSJ

by Peter Jones | about 3 hours ago | Read more

Re. Charles Leadbeater's State of Loneliness, The Guardian, Society, 01.07.09

The cover of this weeks Society Guardian immediately caught my eye with its picture (I wonder which corner of which care domain this lady is sat in?):

The text initially passed me by; then yesterday I caught up, it seems the business model quest in one sector is having a domino effect with new models needed elsewhere including health and social care.

Leadbeater's piece reminded me of Lean thinking the imrovement process with its drive to identify value, reduce waste and repetition. ... His text points out that:

More efficient services quickly move in and out of people's lives, but they don't really change how people live. That is one reason why we have not made deep inroads into the most deprived communities, the most troubled families, the most intractable social problems. Services manage and process people and problems, but only rarely allow people to change their lives. Service solutions are ill-suited to the emerging challenges of the rise of long-term health conditions, diseases linked to lifestyle and diet, ageing or climate change. You cannot deliver a solution to an epidemic of diabetes the way that DHL delivers a parcel.

So any model, method that is primarily process centered may find itself compromised - providing just one cylinder's worth of power in a four cylinder engine. In Hodges' model I have identified the 4Ps. PROCESS, PURPOSE, POLICY, and PURPOSE (to which we must now add PROBITY). It will be interesting to see how value is defined across service forms of engagement, intervention (including signposting) and the new set of outcome measures to follow whether local, national, service-reported or patient reported outcome measures. Leadbeater continues:

The key will be to redesign services to enable more mutual self-help, so that people can create and sustain their own solutions. The best way to do more with less is to enable people to do more for themselves and not need an expensive, professionalised public service. Enabling people to come together to find their own, local solutions should become one of the main goals of public services. Services do a better job when they leave behind stronger, supportive relationships for people to draw on and so not need a service.
So Jo(e) Public needs to reflect, compare, evaluate, learn, collaborate and make informed decisions in order to stay well amongst many other things. They need to be engaged holistically.

Where is the model for this...?
I believe I know.

The Wall Street Journal has something to add here The Doctor Will Text You Now and relating to my earlier posts on 'Beware Reflex Moves'. Relationships matter, but if nurses are out there assessing, assessing, assessing who is doing the education, dividend added therapy outcome focused?

If e-health is going to make a real contribution in augmenting and freeing high value care resources then this in turn depends on the value invested in relationships.
Louis Petrillo, 57, a psychologist in Westfield, N.J., says he regularly turns to his family’s doctor, Robert Eidus, for online advice about his frail 90-year-old mother, who finds office visits difficult. His son who is away at college also used an online visit when he had sinus problems. “I can get into his virtual office anytime,” says Dr. Petrillo. He feels the online care works well largely because Dr. Eidus knows his family members’ regular health complaints.
If older adults move home and need new primary care services, what are most probably(?) well established patient - doctor (patient - primary care team!) relationships are not just undermined they are undone! A person's sense of community is fractured. ...

Yes that image speaks volumes.

Do read the two articles mentioned - excellent.

My120_135 RSpec, FactoryGirl

by Ruslan Voloshin | about 3 hours ago | Read more

Значится принял концептуальное решение! =)
Проект становится все более обширным - уследить за взаимосвязями больше не в силах.
Ухожу на разработку через тестирование. Следовательно стали появляться вопросы.

Судя по:

http://www.pmamediagroup.com/2009/04/tutorial-install-rspec-rails-factory-girl/

Достаточно создать папку spec/factories
Спеки сами подхватят файлы фабрик.
Закинул файл users.rb, где в цикле создал десяток звериков на фабриках
Допустим, у мя даже это получилось.

в файл spec/spec_helper.rb добавил require 'faker'

Запустил тест: rake spec:models
Сработало.

При повторном запуске оказалось юзвери созданные по фабрикам из тестовой базы не потерлись. Хотя я ожидал что БД должна перед тестами очищаться. Хм. Смутило.

Возможно экземпляры моделей нужно создавать только непосредственно в тестах?!

У кого есть практика?!
Возможно фрагменты кода?
Заранее спасибо!

Lolligift

by Brian McManus | about 5 hours ago | Read more

Lolligift

lolligift is the fun, affordable and secure way for friends to pool their money and buy a dream gift for a special occasion.

Shopping for a gift can be fun, but when you have limited time or budget, it can quickly become a chore!

With lolligift your options are limitless. Club together with friends to buy that digital camera, new pair of shoes or dream vacation you know your friend will always remember and appreciate. And still save money!

Here’s how it works: You as the organizer tells us about the special occasion and whom you’re collecting for. Think of a gift idea, set the total amount you’re collecting and a suggested amount each person should contribute to reach that goal. Don’t worry if your math is bad, we have a fancy calculator ☺

lolligift makes inviting people a breeze by allowing you to add people from your address book (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo). Each person will receive a customized email from you explaining lolligift and asking them whether they’d like to pitch in (All major credit cards and PayPal accepted). A link is included to a ‘Gift Pool’ page that will be the center of activity until you’ve raised the total amount.

From the Gift Pool you can:

* See who the lucky recipient is, check out the planned gift and see how much you’re raising
* View comments and send messages to the group
* Make a contribution and see how much is left to raise
* Check out who’s been invited and whether they’ve contributed

lolligift offers the organizer a variety of ways to get the cash into their hands to suit any timeframe. We will mail a check for free (US Domestic), or offer expedited shipping if you need the funds sooner. If you’re a PayPal user we can even deposit straight into your account.

You’ll receive a link to the e-card with a message from all the contributors. You can send or print it for your friend when you surprise them with the gift they never would have expected!

My120_135 RE: Разграничение прав доступа

by Ruslan Voloshin | about 7 hours ago | Read more

<code:html>4. Возможность ограничить по количеству раз использования некоторой функции (например, пользователь не подтвердивший аккаунт через email, может отправить не более 5 сообщений внутри системы, просмотреть не более 20 топиков внутреннего форума, оставить в чате не более 100 сообщений, добавить не более 20 друзей)
На статусе пользователя тут замеса на самом деле мало.

Есть список материалов, пусть - 100 штук. При оплате можно посмотреть/скачать, ну пусть 10, например и только в отведенное время(месяц со дня оплаты).

Или в рамках конференции пользователям разрешено оставлять не более 20 сообщений (для ограничения флуда, что б каждый коммент и мысль на вес золота). А сама конференция в сети проходит с 10 по 15 число. Вот тебе и задачка - и по времени ограничить доступ к конференции, и по кол-ву сообщений.
А поскольку в системе уже заложено несколько подобных сущностей, то и нужно придумать что то универсальное, что б потом не зашиться, а использовать единообразный интерфейс.

И это все находится в постоянной динамике.

Да мало ли можно еще придумать примеров.

Сразу скажу - я не приверженец создания идеалов и мега ЦМС на все случае жизни. Я верю в узкоспециализированные системы под конкретные нужды.
Просто сформулированные заказчиком требования воплотились в такую формулировку и постановку задачи. Я б сам никогда наверное не додумался что могут быть такие требования, думал должно быть все проще - а жизнь оказалась как всегда интереснее =)

My120_135 RE: Разграничение прав доступа

by Ruslan Voloshin | about 8 hours ago | Read more

Видел все описанные функции, но в разных плагинах.
Acl9 - справляется с ролями и объектными ролями.
authlogic - умеет генерировать токены для единоразового доступа, или для доступа только по rss. Наверняка можно допилить под нужды использовать по кол-ву раз и по времени.

Так что есть если не с чего начать то где посмотреть как реализовано.

По поводу пункта №4 - тут можно просто роль новую назначать после подтверждения адреса и набора нужного кол-ва сообщений, таким образом пересчёт прав будет производится реже - при отправке сообщения на форум или при валидации почты, а не каждый раз при попытке воспользоваться ограниченной функцией. Мне кажется будет несколько правильнее.

Improving Retrospectives

by Scott Dun | about 8 hours ago | Read more

For years I've done the classic retrospective at the end of each sprint, asking the team "What worked? What didn't work?" or "More of? Less of? Start? Stop?" But I tried some new techniques recently, and the response was much better.
Most importantly, I used several ideas listed and described in Agile Retrospectives. To start, I asked the team members to choose one of four categories to represent how they felt about being there. This helped to focus and confirm what they hoped to get out of the meeting. I then clarified our values, updating our team agreement with this key, guiding information. The last thing I did was have each of the team members write down 5 idea for improving our scrum. After collecting their papers, I wrote them down on the wall and had the team come up and cast four votes per team member (we had about 20+ ideas).
Throughout the rest of the week of sprint planning, their clarified values and top ideas/problem solutions were referred to again and again, and really helped to shape and guide how the user stories and acceptance criteria were crafted, as well as how the tasks were broken out.
You can also use the "What worked/didn't work" at the end of any recurring meeting in order to improve it the next time.
I highly recommend Larsen's book. The return on investment for improving your retrospectives is significant.
