Thanks Ravi, seems we inundated the middle tier Heroku postgres servers. Bumped up and site seems to be humming again.

Servers are getting slammed, try again just spooled up more.

This is a great idea. I think it can be done

People have requested it. Only now are there a handful of security service startups as opposed to good ole devops service providers.

We split categories when we get enough companies to support it. Let me know if you have a list and I'll happily get this in there, I'd love to have more security products as well.

I was saying that all the examples you provided were of curated lists from one person/org. I personally would rather listen to a community of peers than of a single person's opinion.

Not sure what happened to bestvendor but they're clearly offline now. Another reason why we need a community driven product.

I hear you - there's a lot. Seems people are motivated to build tools for founders, which is great.

When we built this, we were tired of the curated lists too. 1) They don't change as the community's barometer on what they're using changes. 2) It's one person's view, not the founder community.

The goal of founderkit is to be more than just reviews, but this was the logical place to start since nobody seems to have done it in a way where it's alive.

If you don't want to use it, no prob. Lots of people have found it useful. Maybe you will too after it's more than just reviews.

A few things came out of this incident:

1) Per my first flight instructor, this is the reason students now learn how to forward slip. Up until then it was just viewed as a glider move. Thankfully the captain was an experienced glider pilot. It's required to demonstrate this maneuver for your private license (not sure about sport license).

2) This ultimately led to overhaul and standardizations for fuel / weight calculations.

3) Because the engines powered the electrical systems via the alternator, the plane lost a number of electrical systems until the ram air turbine kicked in (amazing little invention and kinda saved the day). Afterwards, many subsequent aviation systems were designed to be operated independently from requiring the alternator to be running.

Good documentary/recreation on the incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bct1mWUp8to. Miraculous that everyone survived, the captain deserves an accolade for quick thinking.

Everytime I use snapchat I feel bad for the major content generators on the site. It's literally a 18 hour a day job of taking video in every situation they're in. I can't imagine that level of imprisonment.

Next growth hacking scheme?

> Full: Still HTTPS from CloudFlare to the browser but they'll also talk HTTPS to the origin although they won't validate the certificate

This isn't true anymore. I would consistently get SSL invalid errors from them when trying this setup. You have to have a valid SSL cert for CF <-> Your server now it seems.

There is negative chance this project gets off the ground. If the Boeing 2707, which even with heavy government funds, still failed to make it out the door I don't think these guys have a chance in hell.

This actually seems undervalued to me. The potential for this app is huge, being the platform for all code/product development _ideally_ for every organization. I think they've sorta dropped the ball a bit in that I don't see a ton more integration into the corporate / programmer day to day, something that Atlassian seems to be picking up on. Still, this is an indespensible tool for engineering teams.

Aw, she's not ugly.

Good feedback, will put together a "wtf is it doing" page.

I'm familiar with the "pilot induced oscillations" from a first hand basis, scared the crap out of me. The desired scaling quality is quick ramp ups and then gradual, minute based ramp downs. This is to handle a sudden influx of traffic to the site. We don't just peg your dynos anytime something comes in. And the free accounts are set at 3 max, so don't worry about it blowing up your bill.

Dynos are ramped up fast as a response to incoming traffic and average wait times per request. I'm still refining this algorithm so feedback during beta would be awesome.

The algorithms for workers are slightly different than dynos since they feed of different info. The answer to your question is yes, it will scale down to zero if you have nothing in the queue. You can override this by setting server min and max thresholds for workers.

Drop us a line at contact AT heroscale DOT com and happy to talk more.

Yes and no. Right now, if you're running at one dyno then you're pulled from the heroku "mesh" if you run idle. However, this is a free account so it's not really saving you any money.

Heroku doesn't auto manage your dyno and workers based on usage. You set dynos at 10, you're running 10 throughout the month. Likewise with workers.

Heroscale ramps your dynos and workers up/down based on necessity.

Fixed, was redis issue.

I think the point of both sides of the argument is this: Don't look for a job, go start your own damn company.
