This is my use case for having 16GB on my laptop as well. Being able to simulate the network architecture of our infrastructure with a bunch of little 512MB-1GB VMs is a nice thing to be able to do.

If I'm not doing development with a cluster of VMs though, I rarely go over 8GB.

Ask HN: Would you use this? (Self-Hosted Pasetbin/Gist Application)

Posted by tburns on Tuesday January 13, 2015 @12:58AM
from the ask-hn dept.

In trying to come up with a fun side project with a small enough scope, the idea I'm currently settled on is essentially a self-hosted, open source Pastebin/Gist application. I feel as though something like this would be very useful for development teams (especially remote teams?) who want to share snippets of code/text/etc., but need to do so in a closed, secure environment.If this is...

I'd also be very interested to see how things are turning out for Discourse as a business. I've been keeping an eye on OSS product + hosted businesses for awhile (Ghost being another one now).

Any lists/specific resources you would suggest that cover the things you mention well? This is a topic I'm actively trying to break into the basics of :)
Re:Ask HN: Heroku Postgres vs. Amazon RDS Postgres on Wednesday July 02, 2014 @07:38PM (#7980557)
Back when we first migrated to Postgres, Amazon had not come out with their offering for RDS yet so Heroku was the first place we looked. Unfortunately (at that time), there didn't seem to be a way to launch a Heroku PostgreSQL cluster inside of a VPC, so it was off the table for us. I haven't looked at it since but would be curious to know if that situation has changed, or if the nature of Heroku's infrastructure simply prevents it from being workable.
