So I just read this, the CEO added the below

    insts = [
      @ec2.instances.with_tag('Name', "CloudAMQP-#@name0*").to_a,
      @ec2.instances.with_tag('Name', "CloudAMQP-#@name-*").to_a,
      @ec2.instances.with_tag('Service', 'CloudAMQP').with_tag('Name', "#@name-*").to_a,
    ].flatten
unless they have a variable named "@name0" that first line would've evaluated to "CloudAMQP-*", which would then have the fun happen.

neptune.io's seems to be providing the solution that someone didn't fix during the day whenever an alert fires.

out of disk space -> clean up your disks (e.g. logrotate)

process crash -> should be using a process supervisor

low cpu utilization -> autoscaling

I'd also add: Be wary of context dependent actions (e.g. render_template, user.set_password, sign_url, base_url) as you aren't in the application/request context inside of a celery task.

San Francisco - Heyday - http://hey.co

We are building a lifelog for people to remember and share the story of their lives, automatically, beautifully, and privately. Two months ago, we launched here on Hacker News [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858373 ]. Here's what some of you guys said:

- "Wow. I rarely download this stuff. But the fact that it claims to be automatic piqued my interest. After downloading it I can say that my first impression is shocked. Shocked that I really liked it."

- "This is very well done. This could crush Facebook. Not in the short term but if you create a timeline that is more personally valuable to people they will be far more likely to use it and share it with friends and family. Your timeline is already far more interesting then my "Wall."

- "Why is it free? I would've paid for this."

- "I have been looking for this. I've been so desperate for this I've been contemplating creating it myself."

We're looking for:

* Mobile engineers (iOS - hard problems include making our sync engine fast/reliable, fast/intuitive search for memories, surfacing important memories in the background, UI performance, and doing it all without using a lot of battery)

* Systems engineers (Python, AWS, Puppet/Chef - hard problems include delivering accurate geocoding for memories, reliable syncing, and building systems to monitor and scale all of it automatically)

* Data scientists (R/Matlab/SPSS, Python, SQL, statistics, machine learning - hard problems include using ML to improve accuracy of geocoding, building growth and retention models, all while guaranteeing user anonymity and privacy).

We will fly you out for interviews and relocate you to San Francisco if you aren't here already. A lot of our team work remotely from time to time, but we haven't found full time remote employees to work out well for us since we collaborate so closely together in real time.

Please email us directly at siqi at hey dot co (8 hour SLA for a response).

Soylent Update 3/13 12 years ago

It's odd that whenever I see an update from Soylent I already assume that it is an 'Soylent will be ready next month maybe' email.

I'm hoping to be surprised in April, but then I was also today, last month, January... etc.
