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.
wasn’t it originally idiotically named “SQL/Server”?

Microsoft Azure Blob
(Yes it’s a real product they market)
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.
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?
Excel is a brand name, Azure Blob Storage is a descriptive title. It’s Azure’s blob storage service.
What is Azure Blob Storage’s brand name then? I’m confused.
This is why computer science is fucked.
It falls under the Azure brand.
And renames a random product every month, following a restructuring it’s licensing
At least they don’t control the most popular code hosting site along with the most popular code editing software, right? Right?
“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.
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.
Not an intern, but this week I’ve unraveled some mysteries in ASP.NET MVC 5 (framework 4.8). Poked around the internals for a while, figured out how they work, and built some anti-spaghetti helpers to unravel a nested heap of intermingled C#, JavaScript, and handlebars that made my IDE puke. I emulated the Framework’s design to add a Handlebars templating system that meshes with the MVC model binding, e.g.
@using (var obj = Html.HandlebarsTemplateFor(m => m.MyObject)) { Name: obj.TemplateFor(o => o.Name) }and some more shit to implement variable-length collection editors. I just wish I could show all this to someone in 2008 who might actually find it useful.
My workplace insists on using dot net classic to recreate a twenty years old VB app that should be able to drink, vote, and drive.
Please send help. SQL queries are a spaghetti mess and all the original devs are probably gone or dead.
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?
We talk about 2 bottles of Cuban Rum and 3 packs of sour gummy worms on top of the pay.
Sour? That’s top quality, you drive a hard bargain
You think that now… Wait 'til I bargain a hard drive.
I’ll trade you two soft drives for it
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.
That’s the problem though. His core supporters define themselves by who they oppose, so anything negative said about him is seen as an attack and becomes fuel for the hate machine
The hate machine runs on unicorns and rainbows. I’m not going around chasing unicorns and cursing at the sky.
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?
RE: your URL edit
You manually type URLs?! :D
Man did his best for us
Yeah, I found it on my laptop and was too lazy to send it over to my phone where I was on lemmy. So I typed it up, and then I actually sent the link to my phone when it was pointed out that it was broken.
Well, maybe lazy isn’t the right word. But I was too something.
Ah, I’m on Apple w/Universal Clipboard. I see Android alternatives out there!
Man it is HARD to believe this jabbering orangesicle was ever the president of the fucking United States
And is a threat to be president yet again. God I hope not.
“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
.net isn’t dead, that’s for sure. It’s not the top ecosystem, but it is pretty healthy.
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.
That’s hilarious!
