This does not appear to be a total outage. I cannot reach any of our sites, and Pingdom also reports we are down, however, I can see normal looking traffic reaching our servers (via heroku logs --tail). In addition, members of our team are

It's not about tech point scoring, it's about quickly solving a problem. Specifically how can my customers on IPv6-only networks reach my service hosted on Heroku (which does not support IPv6)? Cloudflare is a practical and relati

I've also found this Geekflare tool to be useful to test the IPv6 compatibility of any domain/URL. https://gf.dev/ipv6-test Geekflare ( https://gf.dev/ ) has several other useful tools, worth checki

The need for IPv6 support is real! This site: https://whynoipv6.com/country/us -- provides a "wall of shame" summary of sites that do not yet fully support IPv6, in order of Alexa rank. It is definitely surpr

Yeah, I struggle with this. Often when I see someone my brain doesn't present single name match, more often I have a list of potential matches in my head. e.g. "Scott or Rob" -- so I'm forced to just go with one, or avoi

I'm pretty bad at remembering names, but my wife and I have worked out a system. If we're in a social setting together and I start to introduce her "have you met my wife..." she will jump in and introduce herself directl

I worked on a project that required some pretty standard line charts, but with the addition of an overlaid set of horizontal "benchmark" lines -- and some callouts. After struggling (and failing) to get what we wanted out of two d

Sounds like an issue for the board of directors. Do you have a board of directors? If so, I suggest reaching out directly to board members one-on-one to raise these issues with them.

Ember is the PostgreSQL of JavaScript frameworks. Similar to the way Postgres has deep roots that trace back to Ingres[1] in the days before SQL was a solidly established standard, Ember traces it roots back to SproutCore[2] in the JS frame

The most important agile practice, imho, is far and away the Retrospective. A good retrospective process will fix all other problems. In the post, you sort of dismiss it out of hand because it is supposed to be a discussion limited to scrum

While you cannot ssh directly, you can get a bash shell on a heroku dyno quite easily by running: heroku run bash This can be very handy for debugging. That said, heroku will spin up a new dyno instance to run the bash shell. You cannot (

In my opinion, the hardest question really is when should you throw in the towel? There certainly are a lot of zombie companies out there with founders toiling away on "bad" ideas with seemingly no hope of success, burning preciou

FYI - the intarray contrib module for Postgres does support indexing of arrays of integers. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/intarray.html#AEN1... And it happens to use bloom filters under-the-hood to do it. From the docs: "Two G
