i built small api makes few calls have similar payloads, have base payload merge in call-specific elements, so: def foo_call base_payload.merge({"request.id" => request_id}) end def biz_call base_payload.merge({"request.id" => some_other_thing}) end def base_payload { bar: bar, baz: baz, "request.id" => default_id } end my coworker suggested make "request.id" frozen constant, arguing making constant means can freeze means wont allocating new string object on each call, saving bit of memory. this: requestid = "request.id".freeze def foo_call base_payload.merge({requestid => request_id}) end def biz_call base_payload.merge({requestid => some_other_thing}) end def base_payload { bar: bar, baz: baz, requestid => default_id } end i'm little apprehensive, can't quite pin down reason why not (other latent resistance @ having new commit :> ). feel might cause...

in android app have custom imageview which, based on user interaction, needs update image. imageview can have 2 images, represent , front of card. so, when user clicks button need show of card (set custom's imageview image of card , when user cliks button again, set front image imageview drawable). in order accomplish have 2 methods in custom imageview: public void showback() { setimageresource(r.drawable.card_back); } public void showfront() { setimageresource(r.drawable.card_front); } of course, works great, memory consumption of app near 114 mb, , increases user clicks button (rotates card). due that, think problem produced change of image. images small, 1 104.6kb , other 80.4kb (png format), don't understand why app consuming memory (maybe because images allocated times , never recycled?, or maybe because of android's cache system of drawables?) so, can solve problem? thank you. image dimensions 335 x 501 the size of images don't ...
