Been using Metrist for a few months now. So nice to get status updates delivered straight to Slack as opposed to trusting vendor status pages and eventually having to just defer to Twitter.

The change in color likely has to do with the lighting. When it's removed from the wall you can see the square of light placed on the frame. https://youtu.be/5-RFj1Slcws?t=22

This post on Bird's unit economics is pretty good. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/10/how-to-understand-the-fina...

Got excited, went to try and click on them, but most of them 404. A for effort?

Reflect | Senior Software Engineers | Portland, OR | ONSITE

We’re looking to add experienced software engineers to our team to help build, scale, and manage our hosted and on-prem platforms. Engineers in these roles will help define much of the technical direction of Reflect. You’ll get to work with everyone on our small team and wear lots of different hats, both technical and non-technical. Reflect is considered infrastructure by our customers so service availability is extremely important to our business. We all practice DevOps and we deploy our stack amongst many different cloud providers. We’re golang on the backend and ES6/React on the front end with some services and tools written in Ruby. Reflect is the API for data visualization, solving the data visualization problem for developers the way Twilio solves communication, Stripe solves payments, and Sendgrid solves email: by making it a service. With Reflect, developers can add data visualization to their web and mobile applications in minutes. email me: colby@reflect.io or checkout our postings at http://bit.ly/1VwMy4z

Thanks!

Great question! We're different than other tools because we're an ingredient component that developers add to their applications and services (Tableau + others are standalone tools).

We're working with larger companies, like Simply Measured, who are using Reflect to power their customer-facing products.

Most companies (large or small) don't have the core competency for data visualization in-house -- Reflect helps fill that gap.

Thanks for your support!

It's been used at companies I've worked at (not Google).

I had a coworker who didn't know what it meant, and somehow assumed it was "Let's Get That Money". So now I think of that every time :)

This is a really great point. I think it would have been useful to point out that we're currently going through an accelerator (Techstars), so all this data is somewhat atypical. Additionally, I wouldn't say we're "hyper focused" on these metrics. Rather, it's something I check periodically in order to help think about shaping my habits. Does that make sense?

I've been a paid user for quite a while and really enjoying Gyroscope! Would love to get coffee and chat dataviz sometime.

this looks awesome!

hey, not sure why you're getting downvoted. valid points, I appreciate you pointing it out. we definitely should look into this.

The metric is pulled from RescueTime. It's the percentage of time spent on applications that are classified as "Productive".

Why is this getting downvoted by mods?

I suggest the OP check out Cloudability[1], which provides realtime cost management for AWS and other cloud providers. We help over 10,000 customers make sure this doesn't happen to them. (disclosure: I work there)

I recommend checking out CPUSage. They offer a very similar service that's language agnostic. They're pretty early on AFAIK, so they still have a few kinks to work out, but i've found it to be pretty solid.

Is this on Github?

Like button? Thanks to Facebook, 'like' usually means 'share' now days. You don't always want to share things, or at least I don't.

I have appended the post to include the fact that I have a copy of my password physically printed and hidden in a secure location.

As for mobile, I have not tried the workflow on iOS but I hear you can use the USB camera connection kit to connect your Yubikey.

I made no such assumption.

I originally thought this two. Trick: when typing QUERTY, look at your keyboard. Anything else, try to just look at the screen. Helps your brain differentiate layouts.

No need to use backticks, so you can implement it into your app without hating yourself.

Yes. I helped create the original gem (proof: https://rubygems.org/gems/bitch), and wanted to see whether or not it did better on HN with a different name.

Hasn't this been out forever?

Great post.

Too good to be true, you ask?

This is so awesome.

TIL that you need to be at the "top of the pyramid" to make a website and put it online. Talk about elitist.

It does not, actually. We encourage discussion.
