Sorry, what's .Net again?
The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?
Remind me why we let the "Can't call it Windows 9" company design our enterprise language?

Can't call it Windows 9
But that actually made sense! They care about backwards compatibility.
For those not in the know: some legacy software checked if the OS name began with "Windows 9" to differentiate between 95 and future versions.
The reason they checked that it started with "Windows 9" was because it worked for "Windows 95" and "Windows 98"
An often repeated urban legend that has no basis in reality. Software checking the version of Windows gets "6.1" for Windows 7 and "6.2" for Windows 8. The marketing name doesn't matter and is different.
It makes sense why they did it, but their messed up versioning was the cause to begin with. You should always assume Devs will cut corners in inappropriate ways.

This is a myth. Windows doesn't even have an API to give you the marketing name of the OS. Internally, Windows 95 is version 4.0 and Windows 98 is 4.1. The API to get the version returns the major and minor version separately, so to check for Windows 95 you'd check if majorVersion = 4 and minorVersion = 0.
Edit: This is the return type from the API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnt/ns-winnt-osversioninfoexa

And for the same reason they went straight from ~~2.1~~ 3.x to 5.0 when they renamed .Net Core to just .Net. Versions ~~3.x and~~ 4.x would have been too easy to confuse (either manually or programmatically) with the old .Net Framework versions that were still in use, especially for Desktop applications.

.net core is not a thing anymore in case somebody it's not aware, now is just .net. (unless you use really old version of course).
Because they have dozens of years of experience! They didn't learn anything from it, but they have it!
I have the same issue with Java. Oracle JDK, Open JDK or some other weird distribution? Enteprise Servers or a Framework like Springboot? It's always easier if you're familiar with the technology.

I scream silently everytime.
May I introduce you to Usb 3.x renaming?
3.0, 3.1Gen1, 3.2Gen1, 3.2Gen1x1 are the 5Gbps version.
3.1Gen2, 3.2Gen2, 3.2Gen1x2, 3.2Gen2x1 are the 10Gbps version.

I really don't think it's that bad. The only weird thing is .NET Core becoming just .NET in version 5.

No, you'll need to contact Kim Dotcom. I am merely Kim Dotnet.
Ok, but we all should admit: .net is a terrible name.
And then there's .net classic and .net core. Making up two entirely separate names shouldn't be difficult for marketing executives.
.NET Core doesn't exist any more. It's just .NET now. I think that changed around the release of .NET 5?
The classic version is mostly legacy at this point too.
Just because it's no longer supported doesn't mean there's not some poor intern refactoring spaghetti backend in a basement somewhere using it.
Sure, but you can still find plenty of info on it by searching for .NET Framework or .NET 4.6. All the documentation is still available. Its just not in the spotlight any more.

Still better than .dot
I totally agree.socialmedia
I can, but due to the extra strains involved the price of this contract will increase.
How many strains does it take to develop using .net? Are we talking high end or ditch weed?
I can't even remember what dumb shit Trump was showing this guy.
It was an interview with Jonathan Swan about COVID-19 where Trump had a bunch of papers with graphs trying to show that the US was doing well with cases. The paper he handed over showed the rates of deaths per case (though Trump didn't seem to understand the graph), and Swan was asking him about the high rate of deaths in the US when looking at the total population of the country.
Man, if the media was worth a damn it could absolutely bury Trump in negative campaign ads. It's one thing to run a single valid negative campaign ad. With Trump you could collect them like fucking pokemon.
You'd need over 30x the amount of total pokemon to match the amount of lies he's told as president
That's a lotta pokémon

Thanks!
Holy shit! That Swan guy is a fucking legend. I've never seen Trump get that hounded by a journalist before!! He needs to et this more often. Why the fuck aren't more people pressuring him with questions like this?
Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?
Because they'll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It's a pathetic reason, but that's all it takes.
Remember how he abolished press briefings at the White house because Sarah Sanders couldn't and didn't want to answer questions from those pesky journalists?

I can but we’ll need to re negotiate my salary.
But we’re an EDU!!!!
Can you spot the error? Johnson went to the trump organization for a professional field.
Well .NET is dead now so I guess .COM and .ORG are dead too?
.NET is better than ever wdym

It's been my experience that the .NET developer will miss the actual statement and take it as an assault on .NET being the best solution for every use case.
