People in IT know that. So it's more of a scam on the general public than on those in IT.

I never specifically stated it was IT people. Buzz off.

I was so confused when that word was first coined.

And don't get me started on IoT

I'm showing my age but before iot there was .NET "dot net" which is fancy for web forms that can talk to a bunch of languages. (Back-end of webpage can be coded in any language)

Every fucking blog and magazine talked about this dumb fucking shit and treated it like it was holy.

"Is your company ready for .NET?" Etc

I've been fucking around with visual basic for over a decade, college classes and whatnot, and I was always afraid to ask what ".NET framework" was.

Thanks for the qrd, oldfag

yes, i rememebr the 100 .net books and fads and propaganda.

Indian programmers learned in in HIGH SCHOOL!!!

.NET is basically a flavor of C#

C# is a ISO standard language forked off Java

Whenever you see .Net think of C# for server side.

But most servers now use javascript and use node.js libraries of javascript. 80% of jobs.


https://nodejs.org/en/about/

C# had almost no security holes in it, but linux and MOST mac servers avoid c#, despite C# being a open ISO standard.

Instead linux, mac use node.js , not .net and not c#

And if using node.js, even a windows server gets converted to linux or mac for safety.

C# does allow fast marshalling from tokens to C and C++ code, but node.js allows javascript to call C and c++ too.

the number one C libraries ever used for node.js are for encrpyted websocekets, QUIC protocols based on avoiding TCP/IP jamming, and fast hooks to databases that avoid java and avoid javascript as entrypoints. free versions of SQL are 100% C only and free and preinstalled on all Mac OS X, and most Linux, and node.js can use these free SQL databases.

QUIC is in 2021, called HTTP3, and soon no need to use a c library in node.js :

WTF does this mean? Fileshares are ALWAYS somebody else's storage and compute.

I was tasked to give a presentation on "da kloud' by the department director back in 2010 or so. It basically went like this: There is no cloud/we already have the cloud. we have ESX, we have solaris zones. If we really want to give retarded devs the ability to spin up 16core 64GB monstrosities so that they could proceed to use an average of .1% of those resources, I guess we could code a web frontend." Wasn't exactly what they were looking for.

That said, things have evolved somewhat since then and the marketing speak has morphed into an actual ecosystem and framework that can do some interesting things. But it's still partially accurate

It comes with free software which they market as an ecosystem, lol.

[ - ] wyrmblut 0 points 2.8 yearsJun 29, 2021 16:54:10 ago (+0/-0)

yes, its free software. but im not talking about marketing. "cloud" is actually pretty well defined from a technical standpoint these days as related to infrastructure as code

I like the packet.net cloud, which got bought out. Hardware as a Service. API to provision resources, less likelihood of snooping, BGP support, and current hardware without the CapEx.

You mentioned bought out. Is that indicative of it going to waste or changing?

[ - ] mannerbund 0 points 2.8 yearsJun 29, 2021 11:00:02 ago (+0/-0)

Equinix bought them, a data center company. Since then they've expanded rapidly with the additional capital. More POPs, more hardware, same prices.

Overall a win I suppose.

Pretty sure everyone knows, bar the very old and very retraded
