“I want to hug my daughter. That’s what I survived for.” Meet Yaroslav, callsign ‘Mudryi’ - The Wise One. A few days ago he came back from holding the line for 86 straight days in Sumy region, alongside his brother-in-arms ‘Gnom’. Before the war, he was a sculptor and painter. On February 24, 2022, he enlisted. He repairs drones directly on position. He writes poetry between missions. When asked what keeps him going he just said ‘My daughter motivates me. I know where my place is. I am where I belong.’ This is who is defending Ukraine. Video: @AFUStratCom / YouTube

Russia launched more drones at Ukraine in March than it did in the first two years of the war. Ukraine stopped 89.9% of them. In December, the interception rate was 80.2%. Three months later it's nearly 90% euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/01/as-…

Kharkiv is one of the most heavily targeted Ukrainian cities since the war with Russia began. Despite this, CBS News' @aidan_stretch shows how people from there are determined to resume daily life – taking the train, going out to eat and even building underground schools for children.

pnpm blocks all scripts from dependencies by default. You can read about this and other ways to protect yourself (like setting minimumReleaseAge) on our website: pnpm.io/supply-chain-s…

Pretext is a stark visual reminder of the computing power available for every frame rendered: a single iPhone core runs at 3.78GHz, giving you 30m arithmetic operations per frame at 120FPS. 200MB of memory bandwidth per frame. And you have 5 other cores and a GPU.

Your frontends, now faster, on Railway Plus we’ve overhauled our network for increased reliability Let us know how it goes 🙏

🔥🔥🔥 > Under the hood, we partnered with @fastly to power the CDN across their network of 100+ points of presence on six continents. Fastly's edge network is trusted by some of the largest sites on the internet, and it's now available to every Railway user at no extra cost.

Zero to 1.0 After two years of work, 50+ releases, thousands of commits, and hundreds of bugfixes, we are officially declaring Zero stable and ready for production workloads. zero.rocicorp.dev/docs/release-n…

The Netherlands is becoming the first NATO member to embed drone and counter-drone units across every combat formation – not in specialist units, but throughout the entire army. It's a direct lesson from Ukraine. NATO may finally be adapting to the new reality. euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/24/net…

@stevekrouse I wear my VT hat around everywhere, but so far no comments on it. 😅 I will let you know the moment it happens though!

this is the level of fame i would enjoy

Nabu Casa, with the help of @ameridroidSBC is starting our first refurb program 🎉! We hate smart home e-waste, so let's find new homes for these like-new Home Assistant Greens. Thanks as always, every purchase supports the development of Home Assistant. nabucasa.com/news/2026-03-2…

@RivianTrackr What’s the issue? (Curious!)

We were doing so well and then it went down the toilet. I truly wish Rivian did charging better, it’s my biggest issue with the vehicles 😢

Publications of every ideological bent have always been free to investigate Cesar Chavez. It was the NY Times that spent 5 years digging up the story that would destroy the legacy of a liberal icon. The journalists who broke the story are the envy of their colleagues, who have been effusively praising them on social media. None of this is surprising to anyone who follows the work of publications like the Times that have been doing this sort of work, exposing bad actors of every political stripe, for more than a century.

spot-on, from @anneapplebaum Money quote: "Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places." "He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@allafarce Once you get to Public Schools, it’ll be similarly eye-opening when all students are given Google Workspace accounts by default

Well I did not expect my preschool enrollment to include both a Force Majeure clause *and* a Plaid flow. I guess I'm well prepared for being a 21st Century parent after all.

Built to Modify As an engineer, I am always looking for ways to improve things. I need to put my mark on something and make it better than it was before. Open-source software is great for this, but it is a bit more complicated for a hardware engineer. Fortunately, there are companies like @FrameworkPuter designing open, modular hardware that provide the freedom to make it my own. This freedom is contagious and there is a growing ecosystem around their modular approach. The DockFrame being developed by @hwmedialabllc is a great example. DockFrame is a customizable USB Type-C dock built around the Framework modules allowing people to customize the features of the dock the same way they customize the ports on a Framework computer. It is great to watch the development process out in the open. HW Media Lab recently blogged about the survey they did for DockFrame and tradeoffs they are making to give the people what they want. It is nice that they candidly describe the challenges of different features and the need to balance advanced features with price expectations. I am definitely looking forward to this project making its way to @crowd_supply .
