ETF's are so pervasive because they're so easy. VIX futures can be held, but people still buy VIXY and similar products. You can buy literal physical gold, but people still buy GLD et al. And it hardly matters that wrapping it in

This reads to me like "the darn developers are spending too much time not laser-focused on business impact and keep bikeshedding and doing make-work!" It's impossible to tell if this is what's happening though. It can re

With proxmox, I click the plus sign, pick an iso image, cpu/mem, and i'm good to go and I have a remote console viewer and tons of other neat mgmt stuff. In the same amount of time, if I were diving in to DIYing it, I'd proba

I actually used Geany as my main editor for Ruby on Rails and ruby in general. Python has pycharm, Java has intelliJ, but ruby has just RubyMine which doesn't have a community edition and also isn't very good (at least when I trie
