Just getting a database error at the moment - so perhaps some sort of update might be appropriate ;)

hell is popularity.

Was rebooting the server to adjust some performance issues. Also caching a bunch of stuff to use static pages instead of hitting the database.

Now you are caching everything, i.e. every filter returns just the unfiltered complete list.

Fixed. Added a new mod_rewrite only for page requests that lack a query string:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$

RewriteRule ^ycombinator-companies$ /cache/ycombinator-companies [PT]

Am getting the same error. :/

Created a static version of the page that completely avoids the database altogether. The reason I don't use a cached version of the page already is because filtering the companies by market requires accessing the database (at the moment). I was coding a permanent solution to that yesterday and will have it finished sometime later today.
