Ruby on Rails, ActiveRecord, Postgres, UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT encodings -


weirdest error, who’s challenge try , me? spent hours yesterday on , it’s magic. can't believe happening , it's driving me crazy.

btw, using:

  • rails 4.2.3
  • ruby 2.2.3
  • pg 0.18
  • encoding.default_internal = encoding.default_external = utf-8
  • config.encoding = 'utf-8'

it has postgres, activerecord , encodings! turns out we’ve been getting these errors whenever create new users on database special characters:

encoding::undefinedconversionerror: "\xc3" ascii-8bit utf-8

\xc3 may vary depending on characters. weird part we’ve set since beginning utf-8. makes no sense , digged it, , used script:

user.all.each   |user| user.attributes.each     |name, value| if value.is_a? string       puts user.email + name.encoding.to_s + value.encoding.to_s     end   end end

and output of 1 of users, users same:

dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8ascii-8bit dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8ascii-8bit dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8ascii-8bit dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8 dr_lottahelp@blahblah.comutf-8utf-8

turns out 3 fields ascii-8bit encoding. absolutely makes no sense me!

(those fields btw, first_name, middle_name, last_name, same in database other text fields got listed on output, don't special treatment).

another funny thing if don't fill of fields, encoding utf-8 value. once fill it, if don't use special characters converted ascii-8bit.

any suggestions? i've tried every single thing.

thank you.

okay, in case had gem crypt_keeper. if using special unicode characters such ´, have explicitly tell gem use utf-8 encode, otherwise store values on database ascii-8bit.

wish got better error message know caused because of that, same problem see someday!

javascript - Why does running this loop 9 times take 100x longer than running it 8 times? -

consider code: test = function() { } t = new test(); (var = 0; < 8; i++) { result = t instanceof test; } if change number of iterations 8 9 , loop take 100 times longer complete in latest version of firefox (41.0.1). tested on 2 different pcs , magic limit 8. here jsperf test used: http://jsperf.com/instanceof-8-times-vs-9-times does have idea why might happen? seems specific instanceof . not happen if else object, example check property. note: filed bugzilla bug this. jan de mooij mozilla team has posted details in bugzilla thread . here's simplistic interpretation of highly technical answers: in i < 8 case, firefox smart enough hoist result = t instanceof test; statement out of loop (according tests, doesn't seem omit altogether). in i < 9 case, apparently doesn't optimization . why? reason not clear, related fact 9 iterations threshold above function considered "hot" enough run through jit compiler. i < 8 cas...
