NEWS: Colorado Public Radio to acquire @Denverite from Spirited @spiritedmediaco — medium.com/billy-penn/colorado-p…

So @lyft is paying $8m/mo to @AWS — almost $100m/yr! Each ride costs $.14 in AWS rent. I keep hearing they could build their own DC & save. My early days at @Google cloud, heard the same from customers: “at scale, owning is cheaper”. It wasn’t – they all came around. Here’s why:

First day at @nclud

It is so awesome to be able to just hook up one cable and have my external keyboard/mouse/display/ethernet connection ready to go. My old setup required hooking/unhooking 3 different cables. Bought an additional charger as well so one is always in my backpack ready to go.

– Slightly cheaper
– @wirecutter recommended
– It does everything I need it to do (one probably half the price probably would have worked too)

Spent the day getting dotfiles setup github.com/kingkool68/dotfiles which is basically a fork of @mathias that everyone seems to do.

My favorite tweak is github.com/kingkool68/dotfiles/b… for SSH auto completion.

Next up is Spectacle App for managing windows. Option + Command + F will resize your window to be full screen without entering full screen mode. Full screen mode is terrible. Option + Command + arrow keys to do half screen 🙌🏻

Today’s goal: Do my taxes.

Sidenote: Threads on Twitter are such a mess. Some Tweets are replies and not threads and its all so jumbled and confusing.

Thoughts on the limited ports of the MacBook Pro

Pros:
– Flexibility on which side you can charge on

Cons:
– No light indicator to see if your laptop is fully charged or not without opening it up

Under System Preferences –> General I check “Always” to show scrollbars so I can detect overflowing when doing web development. Otherwise it gets hidden until you hover over the area.

First thing to setup, Google Chrome! Everything is all synced over automatically and good to go. How nice.
