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.
  
  Strange argument... how does that prevent checks versus Windows 7, 8 and 1* all of which would be less than 9.
  
  I was about to say that most apps should check the NT number but then I remembered that until XP it wasn't common to run a NT system, but then I remembered NT 4 existed basically in the same timeframe as 95 did, and even if the argument went to "it's a 9x application", shouldn't these OSes at least have some sort of build number or different identifier systems? Because as I said NT systems were around, so they would probably need a check for that
  
  Eh. I think Microsoft should have let that break so the spaghetti code finally gets fixed
- .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).
  
  But it’s still the core lol

- 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.
  
  Hey now, why don't you join my work and use jboss-4.2.2.GA? (kill me)
- 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.
  
  Not too weird... It's the "one true .NET version" now. The legacy .NET Framework had a good run but it's not really receiving updates any more.
- Razor Blazor
- Remember when Nintendo was panned for the name "Wii U", and Microsoft saw that and said "hold my beer"
- I’m developing it for Xbox One X.
- example.net
- They also couldn't call it ".Net Core 4" so they called it ".Net 5"
  Will they keep skipping numbers or start thinking about not naming everything the same.
- .Net is both the umbrella term for the entire ecosystem and the new runtime haha
  Microsoft is so bad at naming things!

Given that .net was a TLD long before the framework came out, it was a stupid thing to name it. Caused confusion and the inability to Google things right away.
- Microsoft names many things stupidly.
  
  Fuck you forever SQLServer. Transact was perfectly googleable.
  
  Microsoft Azure Blob
  (Yes it's a real product they market)
  
  Visual Studio ~~Code~~
  
  And renames a random product every month, following a restructuring it's licensing
  
  “xbox”
- It's like naming your company x
  
  Or the rectangular gaming console that you sell “xbox”
- Like naming a new TLD .zip!
- It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear 'dot net' and nod wisely. Tech people hear 'dot net' and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.
  
  And this is why alcoholism is rampant. Please free me from this insanity.
- That aligns with their fucked up naming conventions anyway.

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.
- 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.
  
  Did this video go unavailable in half an hour or is it region locked?
  Mirror (Piped)
  
  RE: your URL edit
  You manually type URLs?! :D
  
  Man it is HARD to believe this jabbering orangesicle was ever the president of the fucking United States
  
  "They are dying; it is what it is."
  Easily hits one of the 10 things you do not want to hear the president of your country say.

I can but we’ll need to re negotiate my salary.

But we’re an EDU!!!!

Well .NET is dead now so I guess .COM and .ORG are dead too?
- .NET is better than ever wdym

Can you spot the error? Johnson went to the trump organization for a professional field.

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.

Yes but I'll l need to charge more as they require disclosure specific equipment

This is one of the funniest meme templates because it’s based on one of the funniest moments in media history.

I use .NET for my job. My team shifted to a lot of frontend work with react for about a year when the lastest .NET was .NET 5. Barely a year later after not touching it the latest version was .NET 7. Ridiculous.

That's hilarious!
