It’s a data exploration tool packed with features, but my regular use case is to just pipe some json into it to get a table view; it lets you easily explode nested fields into separate columns which I find tremendously helpful when digging
If your greatest achievement ended up with a bunch of people dead - maybe there would have been more utility in self-destruction.
If you feel like defending cool missile tech to avoid offending a potential juicy customer - maybe you need to get your family bombed and remember that “skin in the game” can be literal.
If you think that violence is necessary - maybe you need to be in situation where violence is a possible outcome to remember no one wants it.
Everyone deserves the receiving end of their designs.
Anyway, I’m curious about your approach and always interested in discussion about these topic, drop me a line if you’d like to discuss ! Email is my username @ my username .net
- open source means that we can contribute the fixes and improvements we need - not being dependant on a commercial product protects us from events outside our control : what if the company goes under and does not release their code ? What about licensing / pricing changes ? - it follows that in the worse case scenario where the project is completely abandoned, we have the code base and opportunity of maintaining it - others are in the same position, which strengthens the incentive to collaborate on maintenance
That is not to say I’d systematically reject commercial products in favour of FOSS, just that both have different risk profiles that may or may not fit a given situation :)

The website is out of date and still refers to the defunct enterprise offering
Writing integrations is very easy, which makes it a great “hub” where events from different sources can be collected and watched, while miscellaneous tooling can be gathered behind the same UI and auth. My team is adopting it big time.
It’s not without warts and there are alternatives better suited for other environments, but I still believe StackStorm deserves more attention than it has received !

You’re joking about the briefcases, but a friend of mine had a group of bodyguards swarm the $LUXURY_SPORTS_CAR dealership he was working at, followed by the customer who bought a car cash - as in « literal cash from a suitcase »
It is quite unique. The entire riviera’s economy is focused on tourism, but Monaco takes that to the next level : it is a city designed to attract the ridiculously rich and extract as much money from them as possible while they are there through a carefully maintained wealth signaling culture.
My go-to example is this : a couple of years back I visited the region with some friends and took them to Monaco one day. Obligatory visit to the Casino, around which two things had changed :
- the park in front of the casino had been redesigned. You know how airports force you to go through the duty free, or IKEA has you walk around the entire store to find the exit ? Well that’s what they did with that park, the only way to the casino is through the (luxury brands) shops - in front of the casino itself, there was a new statue with a plaque. The plaque states « artist : anish kapoor. Donated to the principality of Monaco by miss so and so »
Nothing says « wealth signaling » like donating an anish kapoor to Monaco.
When I say that culture is carefully maintained: the Monaco police will turn you down at the city entrance if you’re driving a beater. They have asked me to take a detour rather than drive my crappy moped in front of the casino. I general, Monaco only exposes you to luxury and incentivized you to show off by burning money.
The default tip to service staff is the highest denomination bill. When the currency changed, it went from the highest francs bill to the highest euros bill - easy conversion.
I could go on and on about how ridiculous this all is, the permanent yacht completion in the port, the luxury sports cars stuck in a permanent traffic jam (locals drive mopeds), the dozens of « out of touch oligarch » stories, the looks of disgust and disbelief I’d get for wearing regular clothes…
In the flip side, Monaco treats their workers well. I have worked a few summer jobs well and everyone I know in the area works is has worked in Monaco. The minimum wage is higher, low income jobs get more after tax than before (there is a « prince’s bonus »). You will at least double your income from tips if you work in the service industry.
Like the article says, The country has been good with its population, allowing them to benefit from living in a playground for the rich rather than displacing them. As a result the royal family is well liked, and it’s not uncommon to meet the prince at places where the workers hang out.
If you think Donald trump has good taste in interior design, love the smell of money and tax evasion or just have a lot of money you’d like to get rid of, visit Monaco !
More seriously, I’d recommend paying it a visit if you find yourself in the vicinity. It is a unique place that will be of interest to curious folks.

I'm a self taught jack of all trades, learning as much aspects of the web app stack as possible in an effort to get to web app sec. I Love writing web apps, scrapers, anything that lives on the web. Into anything security related, from bug bounty programs to novel shoplifting techniques.
There were highschool protests today. Just look at the videos from this feed, and even with great sympathy for the police, even keeping in mind that context can be missing, I believe you'll see that we are beyond maintaining the civil peace :

I would argue that the protesters' violence (and i'm not denying there is) is a response to the state's own violence. I was still living in Paris about 2 years, when the protests were peaceful gatherings and the cops were unleashed without provocation, just to prevent people from being together. Repression and disdain form the people have grown the peaceful protests into violent protests, and now the protests are growing into an insurrection.
That's not blind rage, or an appetite for destruction : that is a democracy self-correcting when its government has consistently been too far over the line. That is standing up to the bully.
Here is one of the many articles that have been published, I am linking this testimony by two journalists since liberation is a reputable publication, but you'll find more articles and more witness interviews if you look around.

Everybody present has told that the riot police just waltzed inside and starting beating people up, then let people leave but only going through a tunnel of cops beating them up some more. There are also more videos from different angles.
Assumptions are dangerous, and so are these stormtroopers.
p.s.: I miss your podcast already
It's good to see people willing to change the way they do things, especially when that means publicly contradicting their former selves and with such an intense personality. It's oddly inspiring.
That being said, i do see the interest of the indicator. My comment is more about the trend highlighted by this post.
It's getting out of control since the old geek jobs article on Indiehackers. There's now at least one of these posts per week and they're less and less interesting. It's not showing cool tech or a cool idea, it's just trying to capitalize on the interest here and using HN as an early marketing channel.
I mean come on. This is literally an app that allows to add an element to a list because there was a succesful "Ask HN : who's firing ?" post a couple of weeks ago.
Please make it stop
