mysql - Is it better to store list of each user's Blocked users for query exclusion in $_SESSION var, or to exclude in "real-time" with sub-query? -

-

on 1 of php/mysql sites, every user can block every other user on site. these blocks stored in blocked table each row representing did blocking , target of block. columns indexed faster retrieval of user's entire "block list".

for each user, must exclude search results user appears in block list.

in order that, better to:

1) generate "block list" whenever user logs in querying blocked table once @ login , saving $_session (and re-querying time make change "block list" , re-saving $_session), , querying such:

not in ($commaseparatedlistfromsession)

or

2) exclude blocked users in "real-time" directly in query using sub-query each user's search query such:

not in (select userid blocked blocked.from = $currentuserid) ?

don't use $_session substitute proper caching system. more junk pile $_session, more you'll have load each , every request.

using sub-select exclusions can brutally slow if you're not careful keep database tuned. make sure indexes covering where conditions.

How to calculate SNR of signals in MATLAB? -

-
i've encountered simple, yet fundamental problem on calculating snr: there several signals : s1 = original , pure clean signal without noise. n1 = white gaussian noise going added s1. s2 = s1 + n1 (the noisy signal before performing noise-reduction algorithm) s3 = noise-reduced signal (after performing noise reduction algorithm) n2 = s3 - s1 (the amount of noise after performing noise-reduction algorithm) now want compare snr before , after performing noise-reduction algorithm. which signals should consider snr_before!? s1/n1 or s2/n1 ? which signals should consider snr_after!? s3/n1 or s3/n2 ? which commands or functions should use in matlab in order compute snr_before , snr_after? thanks billion putting time on helping me. what know calculating snr before : snrbeforenoise = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( noise .^ 2 ); and snr after : residual_noise = signal - noise_reduced_signal; snr_after = mean( signal .^ 2 ) / mean( residual_noise .^ 2

i need place custom knob image shadow uislider. far have image of 38x38, of there region defines shadow of knob. now while using image, when slide knob extreme ends actual knob not able cover end points, hence end points visible under transparent region of knob image this code using customize uislider uiimage *slidebtimg = [uiimage imagenamed:sliderknobimg]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatenormal]; [self.ratingslider setthumbimage:slidebtimg forstate:uicontrolstatehighlighted]; how can implement custom knob shadow beneath it, covering end points?? look inside uislider.h , there methods let customize slider knob , track needed.
