Data management plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia¶
- "By deciding on an archive ahead of time, the data collector can format data during collection to make its future submission to a database easier" "It also allows the data collector to direct requests for data to the database, rather than address requests individually" "Funding agencies are beginning to require data management plans as part of the proposal and evaluation process" "management and preservation costs may be considerable, depending on the nature of the project"
- US NSF - About: Data Management & Sharing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)¶
- "Usually, preserving the data in its most raw form is desirable, although data derivatives and products can also be preserved" "The expectation is that all data will be made available after a reasonable length of time" "One standard of timeliness is to make the data or samples accessible immediately after publication" "It is NSF’s strong expectation that investigators will share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants"

Afraid of SSD?¶
- page's description: Should a SQL performance consultant be afraid of SSD? Some surprising facts why I'm not afraid of SSD. "If you want to get the factor 50 speed-up of SSDs, you’d better avoid reading large chunks of sequential data, because that’s where you can only gain a factor five improvement. To put that into database context: if you are doing many full table scans, you won’t get the full potential of SSD. On the other hand, index lookups have a tendency to cause many random IO operations and can thus benefit from the fast response time of SSDs"

- "As an exception, if the USING clause does not change the column contents and the old type is either binary coercible to the new type or an unconstrained domain over the new type, a table rewrite is not needed, but any indexes on the affected columns must still be rebuilt" "If the constraint is marked NOT VALID, the potentially-lengthy initial check to verify that all rows in the table satisfy the constraint is skipped. *The constraint will still be enforced against subsequent inserts or updates* (that is, they'll fail unless there is a matching row in the referenced table)." [+emph] it has been experimentally verified that the constraint *is* enforced against new rows, so this unfortunately *cannot* be used to temporarily disable an fkey "VALIDATE CONSTRAINT This form validates a foreign key constraint that was previously created as NOT VALID, by scanning the table to ensure there are no unmatched rows. Nothing happens if the constraint is already marked valid." "Disabling or enabling internally generated constraint triggers requires superuser privileges" if you try to disable a foreign key constraint's trigger, you will get an error, even if it is marked NOT VALID: "ERROR: permission denied: "RI_ConstraintTrigger_..." is a system trigger SQL state: 42501"

- - text format: "Backslash characters (\) can be used in the COPY data to quote data characters that might otherwise be taken as row or column delimiters."

"special backslash sequences are recognized by COPY FROM" (only in text mode) "The following special backslash sequences are recognized by COPY FROM: [...] \digits Backslash followed by one to three octal digits specifies the character with that numeric code " this includes \0 CSV format: "any occurrence within the value of a QUOTE character or the ESCAPE character is preceded by the escape character" with ESCAPE=\ : \->\\, "->\" with ESCAPE=" : "->""

- "You can create the illusion of an updatable view by defining ON INSERT, ON UPDATE, and ON DELETE rules (or any subset of those that's sufficient for your purposes) to replace update actions on the view with appropriate updates on other tables. If you want to support INSERT RETURNING and so on, then be sure to put a suitable RETURNING clause into each of these rules. Alternatively, an updatable view can be implemented using INSTEAD OF triggers (see CREATE TRIGGER)."

- "a constraint trigger. This is the same as a regular trigger except that the timing of the trigger firing can be adjusted using SET CONSTRAINTS" "A column-specific trigger (one defined using the UPDATE OF column_name syntax) will fire when any of its columns are listed as targets in the UPDATE command's SET list. It is possible for a column's value to change even when the trigger is not fired, because changes made to the row's contents by BEFORE UPDATE triggers are not considered. Conversely, a command such as UPDATE ... SET x = x ... will fire a trigger on column x, even though the column's value did not change." "For UPDATE events, it is possible to specify a list of columns" "It is possible for a column's value to change even when the trigger is not fired, because changes made to the row's contents by BEFORE UPDATE triggers are not considered"
- "The query planner will consider using a hash index whenever an indexed column is involved in a comparison using the = operator"

- "When NOTIFY is used to signal the occurrence of changes to a particular table, a useful programming technique is to put the NOTIFY in a rule that is triggered by table updates. In this way, notification happens automatically when the table is changed, and the application programmer cannot accidentally forget to do it."
- "PostgreSQL does not require constraint names to be unique within a schema (but only per-table)" this is INCORRECT: UNIQUE constraints must be globally unique because their implicit indexes must be globally unique. trying to create an inter-table duplicate UNIQUE constraint gives the error: -- NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / UNIQUE will create implicit index "x" for table "b" ERROR: relation "x" already exists --

(as opposed to skipping past any active transactions to completed ones) "autovacuum will abort if it is not able to obtain a table lock within one second" "postgres[13251]: [40-1] user=,db= ERROR: canceling autovacuum task" "I have installed a nightly cron job to force-vacuum the database. PostgreSQL has shown much improved query responses since then. Some queries’ completion times even improved by a factor of 10."

It behaves different in version 9.0... "In 9.0, the autovacuum process will be aborted about 1 second after another transaction starts waiting for a lock. The result is that even a simple INSERT will take 1 second." this means that autovacuum will never complete if clients keep making INSERTs :(

Data reuse and the open data citation advantage [PeerJ]¶
- page's description: Background. Attribution to the original contributor upon reuse of published data is important both as a reward for data creators and to document the provenance of research findings. Previous studies have found that papers with publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data. However, few previous analyses have had the statistical power to control for the many variables known to predict citation rate, which has led to uncertain estimates of the “citation benefit”. Furthermore, little is known about patterns in data reuse over time and across datasets. Method and Results. Here, we look at citation rates while controlling for many known citation predictors and investigate the variability of data reuse. In a multivariate regression on 10,555 studies that created gene expression microarray data, we found that studies that made data available in a public repository received 9% (95% confidence interval: 5% to 13%) more citations than similar studies for which the data was not made available. Date of publication, journal impact factor, open access status, number of authors, first and last author publication history, corresponding author country, institution citation history, and study topic were included as covariates. The citation benefit varied with date of dataset deposition: a citation benefit was most clear for papers published in 2004 and 2005, at about 30%. Authors published most papers using their own datasets within two years of their first publication on the dataset, whereas data reuse papers published by third-party investigators continued to accumulate for at least six years. To study patterns of data reuse directly, we compiled 9,724 instances of third party data reuse via mention of GEO or ArrayExpress accession numbers in the full text of papers. The level of third-party data use was high: for 100 datasets deposited in year 0, we estimated that 40 papers in PubMed reused a dataset by year 2, 100 by year 4, and more than 150 data reuse papers had been published by year 5. Data reuse was distributed across a broad base of datasets: a very conservative estimate found that 20% of the datasets deposited between 2003 and 2007 had been reused at least once by third parties. Conclusion. After accounting for other factors affecting citation rate, we find a robust citation benefit from open data, although a smaller one than previously reported. We conclude there is a direct effect of third-party data reuse that persists for years beyond the time when researchers have published most of the papers reusing their own data. Other factors that may also contribute to the citation benefit are considered. We further conclude that, at least for gene expression microarray data, a substantial fraction of archived datasets are reused, and that the intensity of dataset reuse has been steadily increasing since 2003. "papers with publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data" "There is evidence that studies that make their data available do indeed receive more citations than similar studies that do not"

BitTorrent Sync
- SECURITY WARNING: There is an important security hole in the Linux version of BitTorrent Sync: when btsync is run with no arguments, it makes all your files suddenly *world-readable and world-writable*, via a publicly-accessible, unprotected web interface (the WebUI). The WebUI by default allows anyone on the web to create a sync folder to view and edit any files in directories writable by you. To fix this, you apparently *must* use a config file (with the --config option) which is appropriately secured by setting webui > password. If you are currently running btsync without a secured config file, you should run `killall btsync` to turn off the WebUI. You can use `lsof -i` to verify that the WebUI is not running. The security hole has been reported at http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18612-security-hole-in-linux-webui-makes-all-your-files-publicly-accessible/ , but it's not clear when/whether they will fix it.

- page's description: Bash Reference Manual "Aliases are expanded when a command is read, not when it is executed" "Aliases are expanded when a function definition is read, not when the function is executed, because a function definition is itself a compound command" note that if statements are also "compound commands", which have aliases expanded when their definition is read (i.e. at the beginning of the if statement, for the entire if statement), not when they are executed, and any aliases for function names in them need to be unaliased *before* the if statement containing the function definition. this is necessary even if the if statement is *not* executed, because the expansion of such aliases will cause syntax errors in the parsing of the if statement itself. "If the last character of the alias value is a space or tab character, then the next command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion."
- page's description: Bash Reference Manual "If GLOBIGNORE is set, each matching filename that also matches one of the patterns in GLOBIGNORE is removed from the list of matches. The filenames . and .. are always ignored when GLOBIGNORE is set and not null."

Process Substitution¶
- "read -a list < <( od -Ad -w24 -t u2 /dev/urandom )" this can be used to pipe the substituted command to a numbered port instead of passing it as an argument
- "a way to take the exit status into account is to use the command substitution in a simple assignment: then the exit status of the assignment is the exit status of the last command substitution in the assignment(s)." the following doesn't work: "Only other solution that came to mind at this moment would be to use read: ls -l ghost_under_bed | read name" "Another case to watch for is explicit subshells: (somecommand). According to the interpretation above, the subshell may return a nonzero status, but since this is not a simple command in the parent shell, the parent shell should continue." this is why errexit doesn't work properly for subshells on Mac

screen
scrollback
- note that viewing scrollback is much more difficult to do in screen than in the surrounding terminal program (which usually has graphical scrollbars). this is because screen provided scrolling before GUIs were available, so it had to rely on terminal rendering and keyboard commands. the ability to reconnect to a running shell (which is what screen is primarily used for nowadays) was actually an extra feature, rather than the primary purpose (providing scrollback), so it is not as well-engineered for that particular purpose as today's GUI users would like. for a better way to support reconnecting, see persistent shells.

sed : using colons as separators instead of forward slashes | commandlinefu.com¶
- page's description: sed : using colons as separators instead of forward slashes - sed \"s:/old/direcory/:/new/directory/:\" <file> - Having to escape forwardslashes when using sed can be a pain. However, it's possible to instead of using / as the separator to use : . I found this by trying to substitute $PWD into my pattern, like so $ sed \"s/~.*/$PWD/\" file.txt Of course, $PWD will expand to a character string that begins with a / , which will make sed spit out an error such as \"sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to `s'\". So simply changing it to $ sed \"s:~.*:$PWD:\" file.txt did the trick.

Should I use Java applets or JavaScript/PHP to make my site more interactive? - Programmers Stack Exchange¶

"While Applets are ridiculously out of fashion, that does not matter to end users. On a modern machine, JVM startup time is not a problem, and *browser incompatibility less of a factor than with JavaScript*." [+emph] "Applet-specific security is irrelevant as long as you only draw stuff and don't want to do things like access the user's harddisk." (but you can use a desktop app to get around that) "they don't run in all browsers" which ones? "Libraries like JQuery and ext_js make gui development as structured as java" but without the all-important type safety "Applets [...] require client installs of java" but most clients already have this installed "Almost everyone has Flash installed, and every modern browser version can handle HTML Canvas. But while most people will have Java installed, many wont." who? "the user needs to have a Java browser plug-in installed but that's true for nearly everyone nowadays" "The main benefit is that Java gives you a huge number of libraries / tools for layout and graphics etc" "Java applets can achieve very good performance, certainly well ahead of Javascript. May not be a real issue in your case, but you get all the usual advantages of the JVM JIT-compiling down to native code" "the Java layer means you don't have to worry about browser differences / incompatibilities so much" "the Google Web Toolkit.
