Whether new developers need to worry about developing for OG .NET or not (I agree that they shouldn't) doesn't really have anything to do with what people who talk about OG .NET should call it in order to make it clear that OG .NE

The way that "Well, there's tons of conflicting advice out there if that's the case" was situated/employed in the discussion makes it sound like an attempt to say that there are merits on both sides of the argument-

It's obvious there was a joke in the comment. It just didn't lie in the conflating-/not-conflating-things-with-JS part of the comment. Also, it was lame.

Not a name change, just an editorial prescription for discussions. The proper name is .NET Framework (just don't call it that!).

"Framework" is such a poor differentiator to contrast with modern .NET (owing to the original poor naming decision in the first place--it's not like ".NET" itself is amazing) that it's hard, from a casual readi

Yeah no, it’s definitely the price and the hassle of getting a ticket. I probably live in the best developed area in Germany, public transit wise. I could be in the next big city center in 10 minutes by train, but without the €9 ticket I fr

Not sure what you want. A link where this is clearly outlined? The license is two sentences and sets out the terms. The repeated distinction between source code and "artifacts" in this context is pure make-believe. The license

Don't look to people who don't know what they're talking about to "clear things up" for you. If you think they have any qualms about leaving you to deal with the blowback after misleading you with uninformed takes

> It's true of source code but not artifacts. That's simply not true. Please don't do stuff like this—to go off and make these kind of proclamations in public. It's negligent at best.

The docs say that this is using CodeMirror. The CodeMirror license says that you're allowed to use CodeMirror for your stuff, but that stuff has to in turn include: 1. the copyright notice 2. the text itself that explains that you&#x2

It’s cool and all, and I don’t mean to knock it in any way, but how is this not entirely “about novel aesthetics”?

Highly recommended book! Robin Williams apparently also played an indirect role, suggesting the OP’s question at some conference of the Software Publisher’s Association (although this is apocryphal even according to the book). I also find i

I suppose that must be true in as much as technology and culture influence each other, but while the term “meme” is fairly new, the phenomenon is quite universal. Like, what’s funny about Kilroy Was Here [0] or drawing that constructivist S

I’m surprised noone has brought up what I recall being told was the oldest known joke. Not sure about the specifics, but IIRC it’s from a mesopotamian cuneiform tablet and goes something like “Name something that never happened — A wife has

In case that wasn’t rhetorical, AFAIK smoking is known to dull one’s sense of taste. I would imagine smokers to be less picky eaters and drinkers for this reason as well.
