I had a discussion with a colleague on how to persist a sorted (linked?) list in MySQL, and would like to write down my thoughts on this since this is likely a problem I will face in the future. There must be a better way of thinking about this than I’ve come up with. If you have an idea, don’t hesitate to send me an email. Problem description We have a sorted list of a generic length. It should be possible to reorder the items in a generic fashion (e.g you can drag and drop the items to change the list order from the GUI). This means supporting both swapping items and inserting items between two existing items. Then list should also gracefully handle growing and shrinking. ...

A simple docker command to start MySQL on a tmpfs. Things to note: Mounting localtime affects MySQL server timezone You need to have a my.cnf at the given location ($HOME/docker/mysql/my.cnf) You probably need to create /var/lib/mysql before running the command Setting sql_mode="" is probably not needed for most applications. sudo docker run -d \ --name mysql7 \ -v/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Stockholm:/etc/localtime:ro \ -v$HOME/docker/mysql/my.cnf:/etc/my.cnf \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST='%' \ -p3306:3306 \ --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/var/lib/mysql \ mysql/mysql-server:5.7 \ --sql_mode=""

Some notes on troubleshooting different encodings for sent/received files. Table Encoding å ä ö Å Ä Ö UTF-8 \c3\a5 \c3\a4 \c3\b6 \c3\85 \c3\84 \c3\96 latin1 \e5 \e4 \f6 \c5 \c4 \d6 CP437 \86 \84 \94 \8f \8e \99 CP850 \86 \84 \94 \8f \8e \99 Notes WINDOWS-1252 / CP-1252 is a superset of latin1 All encodings are supersets of ASCII, so \20=SPACE and \0a=NEWLINE Sometimes you will encounter the “ANSI”-encoding. That name is a lie, and means that the creator is stupid in the head. There is no way of knowing what the creator intends, so you will have to try one encoding at a time and hope for the best. Vim commands If you hover over a character and type ga, you will see the VIM interpretation of the encoding. Note that this will NOT necessarily be the FILE-encoding, but instead the VIM-encoding. ...
