Question? Are you still developing this software? I upgraded my android phone and can't see the options button anymore to add more tokens?

Wrap it all in a transaction. Since you can't do nested transactions, rails will simply ignore any transactions that occur while already in a transaction.

To adjust the width (on horizontal bars, adjust the height instead)
you need to select the entire scroll bar with

::-webkit-scrollbar {
height: 10px;
}

I recently replaced my phone, and I can no longer resync nor create new US tokens.

resync while connected to wifi causes the app to crash
generating a us token while connected to wifi gives the error: "Couldn't establish a network connection. Please try again later."
generating a us token while on the cellular network causes the app to crash.

This makes the app borderline useless, which is a shame because I really appreciate want to keep the ability to have multiple authenticators on my phone.

Just a bit of info. The single insert command is great but it does not work with postgres. Postgres does have its own ways of doing mass inserts, but that is not one of them (sadly).

I hit a snag with option 3, where I ended up building a query that was too large for mysql to handle. To get around that, I edited the my.cnf file to max out the max_allowed_packet value:

max_allowed_packet = 1GB

I'm not aware of any reason this could be a bad thing, and it saves me the trouble of rewriting the code that builds the inserts (e.g. automatically generating a new insert call every X records).

Re: faster_pathname: Making Sprockets faster

Chris Heald — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:15:04 -0000

As far as I know, Sprockets hasn't been updated to significantly reduce Pathname usage. But, I'm still mostly on Rails 3, so you might check it out for yourself.

wheeyls — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 11:21:57 -0000

Is this still relevant after the release of Rails 4? Or has Sprockets been updated?

Was just reading this article and tried mass insert method. Also compared with dumping my data to a CSV file and inserting it into mysql with a 'load data local infile', which is about 1.25 times faster that the SQL statement. I was working with a 54k row set with about 20 columns
