I don't see how this would significantly increase snail mail volume. If I need the physical address of somebody today, I can just send them an email to ask. So the volume would basically stay the same.

Which basically means that the federal government is using these contracts to restrict free speech. This is wrong regardless of who is president.

The original Apple Silicon developer kit used an iPhone CPU, so itâs safe to say that that macOS does run on these CPUs (which is no surprise). And while we only know for sure when/if that new MBA is released, I doubt that Apple would lock down a Macboon.

Tech debt reduction always takes lower priority than next quarter’s sales targets/functional features, you often need to wait for a big “event” to get the green light for tech renovation. Sure, you can hide some work behind functional changes, but this mainly helps with local/component-level tech debt, not with bigger issues.

Ignoring for a moment that yet another abstraction layer“ is most likely not what the world needs: It‘s rather hard to build an abstraction layer based on your knowledge of one cloud provider only. And building one which will still work with the new kid on the block popping up in 5 years is obviously impossible.

archive.is is your friend in such cases.

Not a lot details, could also just be technical experiments.
