I went down a similar road in 2013 and contacted heroku via a support ticket. They said they "do not offer up [their] certs for verification" and wouldn't answer any other questions. Doesn't seem like much has changed :/
What part of the battle couldn't you solve? Doesn't the author's setting of the resolver directive work for you, or is there something I'm missing? Also, the author doesn't mention it, but you can also set a custom…
Another one - "prefect" should be "perfect".
Rails works quite nicely as a REST backend. Its also much faster in my experience to render json than HTML templates. Rails is great as a general starting point, letting you choose SPA at the start or later.
I wrote an app that has some GV-like functionality built on Twilio: https://www.getphonecard.net
I've combined Postgres views and set returning functions in rails and had a lot of success with good performance and good maintainability, too. No custom SQL required in the application itself.
I'm a little scared that this builds SQL statements directly. Did you consider at least using prepared statements? Was there such an awful performance hit using ActiveRecord, or something that couldn't be done with it?
I wish I could add some comments while submitting the speed test. The wifi in my hotel is free, but the speed I'm receiving is only obtainable by using a code provided by the front desk. The normal speeds are quite a…
PhoneCard probably didn't like your destination number (either invalid or deemed too much for the test call). If you (or anyone else) would like to give the real thing a spin in exchange for some feedback or ideas to…
PhoneCard is entirely powered by Twilio.
Actually it looks fairly similar! PhoneCard has multi-ring on incoming calls which I don't see there, but I didn't investigate deeply. How is the call quality?
Oh, and SMS is quite a bit more limited at this time. You wouldn't be able to send SMS from Serbia to another country, or SMS within Serbia, but you could purchase a number in a destination country like the US or UK and…
Awesome! I agree that I need to improve the cost discoverability. The problem is the matrix of rates is huge. In some countries, costs are different per mobile provider, and landlines are usually half the cost or less…
I just saw your call in the logs! It will work in Serbia, but I need to do some additional work on the backend to enable certain countries that are typically high cost to call. I had already done this, but apparently it…
Thank you for pointing me to this! To date I had not seen anything similar. Perhaps the biggest differentiator is that PhoneCard works in the opposite direction, too. For example, you can purchase a phone number in the…
I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or…
No revenue on my current side project, but haven't yet shared it beyond friends.
Beyond Snowden, what is this "trend of whistleblowers"? Why haven't we seen others come out in similar ways? Or have I missed something?
I'm hoping that Space Monkey (http://www.spacemonkey.com/) helps solve some of this. It backups up to a local appliance-style box, then syncs with other space monkey boxes in a peer to peer manner. Like cloud storage,…

Link to your stripe testing gem?
So that someone between you and http://get.docker.io doesn't decide to replace the script with their own special version that runs as root on your box.
Right, I agree with you. Its not that the strategy won't save any memory. But it won't save any memory allocations because the list still makes them. The number of allocations can put pressure on a garbage collector…
What about server security updates? How do you handle normal package updates, restarting services after an update, etc?
For this very reason I patched a version of Rails 3.2.8 with the following patch files distributed by the ror-security mailing list[1]: 3-2-dynamic_finder_injection.patch 3-2-null_array_param.patch 3-2-xml_parsing.patch…
