No, no. There's no bubble here. This time it's different. :)

I hope this didn't really happen, but I loved reading it.

The UK entrant to Eurovision Song contest, Look mum, no computer, runs a museum!

And it looks perfect for the site, I'm hoping I can visit next time I'm back in the UK.

I received an email about a lost dog 10 years after I adopted her and then gave her to another family. They got her back!

Databases work!

Super brilliant! Great work. I could have used this when a vendor sent me cables that had incompatible codes on both ends.

Thank you! I hope you all have trusted vendors, and no-one gets bent over by the sudden flood of cheap SFP28 cables :-)

Right, and it's always fun trying to figure out which chassis with serial number 123456789 is the one you are taking to.

God, SuperMicro... never change. (But also, please go bankrupt and stop making trash.)

Anyone know if MSI are better?

No, MSI is not better. It pains me to say it, but Dell has the best post-purchase support on data center gear. Their servers "just work" for commodity needs, even into HPC and custom gear. Once you exceed that, there's a half dozen opencompute vendors that will go deeper with customizations and requirements.

They have to compete in good faith for developers, which is why VS Code does not suck.

But yes, normal Office users, where the company pays the bills, pay the price.

I agree that VSC is solid for web dev or other script language workflows, and VS is fine, if a bit heavy-handed. That said, Windows native development is a freaking mess. Try figuring out what their recommended native UI kit is these days. Everything is half-assed and half-supported at best. Unless it’s going to either feed them a ton of marketing telemetry or let them bump up their supposed copilot adoption statistics, you’re yesterday’s news to MS.

VS Code is also open source and forkable, the Windows kernel or Azure tech stack not so much

I am here for exactly this kind of surprise. Nice work, HN!

Nice work Reuters: "We found him, he clearly does not want to be identified, it would have been possible for us to decide not to do this, but we did it anyway because... journalism?"

WTF.
