The article mentions the yield is the highest since November 2023. If I understand it correctly, this is different, however. In November the Fed was trying to increase rates to bring down inflation. But the high yields now are the result of

Isn’t Ubuntu basically killing apt? My Ubuntu became unusable because it kept insisting on installing a snap version of Firefox breaking a whole bunch of workflows. I do want to try a RH based OS (maybe Fedora) so they don’t keep changing t

I’m not sure where this idea that the cloud doesn’t need skill to manage comes from. Cloud engineers are extremely highly paid because they need to be extremely skilled. No one running stuff on prem is compiling Linux from the kernel and th

Honestly when you’re a small company or starting up, when you’re unsure of how much, if any, usage your product will receive, it makes sense to start on the cloud. And then as you grow, it makes sense to periodically check in as to whether

I can’t speak to 37signals specifically, but most on prem tech is pretty standardized. There’s nothing particularly bespoke about throwing RHEL on Dell servers running in a 3rd party managed white glove data center.

Also the AWS cloud engineers are so much more expensive because the AWS learning treadmill runs at a 10x speed compared to the on-prem one. Our cloud engineers spend so much of their time simply keeping up with all the things they need to k

Somehow no one was ever making this argument when companies were spending tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to move their on prem workflows to the cloud. At that point it was all “you will save the money because you will need such

You seem to be conflating 2 different things. Apple’s OS proficiency and the associated technologies they support on their OS and Apple’s dev tools proficiency. People use Apple’s dev tools because they are the only/best way to deliver

It’s missing in most European places because there’s little need for it. When there is a need, Europe does pretty well. At least relative to the U.S. For example, Europe built the completely novel floodgates for Venice. It’s been very succe
