>Modern sites are extremely complex. BASH, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, Varnish, NGINX, Postgres, Cassandra, Elastic, Redis, Celery, CSS/Sass, Typescript. Observability, logging, build systems, testing, backups, CI, and a consistent design system. That’s all just to get to HTTP 200 “hello world”.

A lot of fancy keywords, but

1) It's the stack that you decided to put your services on, your HTTP 200 could be also served by nginx + 1 html file

2) You can make empty video multiplayer game which will sound as fancy as that HTTP 200 hello world

What you care more about?

>big government and a fancy stock manipulation scheme.

What's wrong with US gov caring about supply chain and manufacturing capability of the most needed technology right there - on American soil?

It is in US' interest to be able to produce such complex tech locally

yields are constantly improving on monthly basis, according to executives around 7% per month, so the capability is definitely there, but yields still needs some time

>And a small observation: if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure.

Usually complex things are there, where they money is - semiconductor industry, big corpos (chromium, linux, llvm, etc), AI, etc.

Sounds like bullshit, I'd rather bet that Microsoft wanted to make some Cloud OS, web friendly thing and expected it to be as successful as Visual Studio Code

Also, I don't think that integrating react app into Windows is trivial

That sounds cool and fancy in theory, but how do you find that information among the noise?

like if 50 ppl vote A, 45 people vote B and 1 person who actually knows their shit votes B?

How do you find it? By amount?

>Microsoft has also tried hard to push Edge, annoying nearly every Windows user on the planet, with no real success.

False, Edge is actually decent product and viable replacement for Chromium based browsers.

I use Firefox daily, but at work Edge is my way to go

Maintenance cost must be pretty fucking insane

This "Space Datacenter" sounds like biggest bullshit in last decade, which is pretty damn fucking high bar.

It sounds like conspiracy theory that they design TS/JS to convert from C# easier, huh.

The truth is that C# is probably the best designed mainstream language out there.

C# was known as a language with lowest amount of WTF per LoC

What will happen to the vehicle after such crash landing?

Is it possible (reasonably) to repair it? or it will never fly?
