Maybe something to add to the side-bar?
The linked post doesn’t seem like that good of a reference that I would put it in the sidebar. IMO it could be done better. But if you mean to say, something like it; yeah, the .NET environment is vast and can be confusing, especially when new to it. An overview or reference to one makes sense.
I suppose the term “.NET” encompasses both, but most of us that write and speak in this space tend to use “.NET Framework” for legacy, and “.NET” for modern .NET.
there’s the whole “.NET Core” thing
Before around net7, the open source cross platform non-framework dotnet was called Core. net6/7/8 is the .NET Core technology, but Core was dropped from the naming.
Now, .NET may refer to that modern dotnet tech, or .NET Framework. Presumably, the latter is referred to only in contexts where it’s obvious that .NET Framework is meant.
and .NET Standard (2 versions). […] Are those relevant in the world right now, today? Hopefully not really!
.NET Standard is still relevant for libraries that target/publish for both .NET Framework and net6+. .NET Standard is the cross-platform baseline.
From what I can read in this thread, we had a discussion. We didn’t complain [to or about users]. We reasoned and speculated on what is happening and the effects of it.
The only one complaining directly and strongly is you. Telling us we shouldn’t be complaining.
I’m not sure how you read a fault claim from their comment.
You can say the UI doesn’t support the mechanics of Lemmy, which is true. But that doesn’t change how the mechanics work.
Voting is curation. Communities theme topics. Voting for personal curation in an all feed is contrary to the shared nature of posts.
My suspicion was that the informal term is not about distance, but the immediate jump across distance.
Which labeling it [only] as a contranym does not match or ignores.
Yeah. This .NET Blog post was not for me either, but I thought it would be on topic for the .NET community. I guess this community doesn’t want this kind of content, even if it’s the official dev blog. :) And not just to the point of ignoring, but actively down-voting.
“Quantum Leap” - so, really really small?
When I read the previous news about MSTest I was very confused, remembering that in the past the Microsoft unit test tooling was behind a higher Visual Studio license. I’ve always been using xUnit as the successor to NUnit as the open source testing frameworks.
Turns out MSTest is open source since 2017.
It’s not even a mirror account. It’s a bot account that shares links. It does not “mirror” anything beyond linking.
I’m not familiar with their products and product names, so I had to look them up, sharing that here, including the other two free non-comm mentioned in the blog post:
