Since ad blocking quit working in Chrome, I set up a pi-hole (pi-hole.net). It is fantastic. Blocks for my family and everyone on my network. Should have set it up long ago.

Very windy in Missoula and the power just went out in the upper rattlesnake.

"Move fast and break things" is outdated advice for startups. Software ate the world—and there's more competition than ever. Our startup learned the hard way to ignore this advice, and this is what happened:

The government crushed it: “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.”

I've been deleting email and unsubscribing things for the last two days. Emptying my trash now (200k+ messages). If GMail goes down, it was me. Sorry. Google said it was getting full, and I'd have to pay $3/month.

What’s the future of JavaScript?

Bud Light walked right into this one: Molson Coors is appealing the decision, saying it "vehemently disagrees with this decision because we believe light beer should taste like beer, not water, and we are well within our right to share that belief." A spokesperson also questioned to Anheuser-Busch's "sudden concern" with the ad since it hasn't aired since last August. apple.news/AkNFPHPZYTiOW4…

Two racks. My friends, it fits in *two racks*. I love the cloud as much as the next person, but $7m over five years to run a workload that will fit in *two racks* makes me want to sleep for a year. Fully automating two racks was not hard. world.hey.com/dhh/we-stand-t…

We just created a new open-source project, PyGWalker. It turns your pandas data frame into a Tableau-style User Interface for visual analysis 🥳. github.com/Kanaries/pygwa… #datascrience #pandas #tableau #opensource #dataanalysis #visualization #kanaries

@typesfast I like the idea, but opted for the Anker in this case for a bigger battery. Big benefit of MagSafe chargers is charging with a wet lightning port.

fact: apple is the only FAANG that hasn’t laid off any employees

@mouthofmorrison We have been, and continue to grow at onXmaps. We build outdoor mobile mapping apps. Apply at onxmaps.com/careers or get in touch with any questions.

I’ve heard from a few people today about the layoffs at Mapbox. Sad, sad day. If you are actively hiring software engineers, please respond to this tweet and give affected people a sense of why it might be a fit for their skills and interesests.

Reading this is like watching Ferris Bueller with a friend who’s never seen it. I can’t wait to watch it with the kids. vqronline.org/essay/john-hug…

$10 for a permanent license with 2 years of updates. Easy decision for one simple thing that makes my life better :)

On Mac, I use both a mouse and a trackpad. I like scrolling to be "traditional" on the mouse, and "natural" on the trackpad. BetterTouchTool is currently the best way to set this up. folivora.ai Lots of other features, but this is the only one I use.

@aarondfrancis I'm curious how you use the wall-mounted AxiDraw?

Really loving my study corner in the Shedquarters these days.

About a month ago, I got a 10x20 shed delivered so I could build out a shedquarters office in my backyard. It's been a ton of fun (and work) so far! I'm going to share a lot of it on this thread over the next couple of months until it's done. (Also at aaronfrancis.com/shedquarters.)

Which is the most ignored generation?

@theprivileges I did that this morning with my kids!
