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?

I can't even remember what dumb shit Trump was showing this guy.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (10 children)

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.

Did this video go unavailable in half an hour or is it region locked?

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?

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.

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

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.

But we’re an EDU!!!!

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.

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.

Microsoft names many things stupidly.

And renames a random product every month, following a restructuring it's licensing

Microsoft Azure Blob

(Yes it's a real product they market)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn't particularly new, and MS didn't invent it.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (5 children)

That's sort of the problem. It's easy to Google S3 since it's a distinct (if obnoxiously short) term. Blob is already an overloaded term.

An example of a great name from Microsoft is Excel, it's relatively short but meaningless so if you Google "Excel Sum" you'll get wonderful results... "Blob Get" is going to get you a lot of random stuff.

Edit: the top result for blob get is accurate on Google but you'll also quickly see this result from that site we all hate:

Need help! How do I get the blob fish, basking shark and dwarf whale?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That's hilarious!

[–] [email protected] 72 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can, but due to the extra strains involved the price of this contract will increase.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

How many strains does it take to develop using .net? Are we talking high end or ditch weed?

[–] [email protected] 136 points 9 months ago

No, you'll need to contact Kim Dotcom. I am merely Kim Dotnet.
