My point is that it's just hard to understand what exactly one means when they're writing ".Net". Do they mean the entire framework, a specific library, the CLR, one language, etc. For whatever reason, the name has a very contextual meaning, and people use them interchangeably (".Net Core" is clearly specific though). Not that they're alone. Adobe did worse with "Flex" since it could refer to the compiler, a framewor…

Java JRE/SE/JDK... It's really not much more confusing than what others use, and as to what you need to install for something. .Net core apps should be a portable application (portable as in the runtime is compiled in)... Yeah, it is a little confusing, and hopefully removing some of the separate terminology will help. A lot of what has changed, is that you will likely be developing .Net Core (or Xamarin apps) that w…

If it were opt-in, they'd collect significantly less data, and the data they do collect would likely by heavily skewed. Microsoft could be misled by the poor quality of data collected, and an opt-in system could actually be worse than not collecting any data in the first place. The way I see it, at the end of the day, the decision for Microsoft is really between not collecting data and an opt-out system. If Microsoft…

For me the issue comes down to whether or not Microsoft does anything useful with this data (probably not, if 20 years of NVIDIA blue screen driver failure logs, Windows 8 and OneDrive are any example of how 'big data' impacts Microsoft product quality) versus how many comments I have to read where joeblow52 is personally offended that Microsoft dares to learn what his compile time plus 999,999 other compile times, d…

I don't think the previous comment is suggesting it is bad. I think they're trying to stave off any "OMG! MS is looking at your porn!" posts, by highlighting the privacy policy of the telemetry; which sound reasonable to most people.

Thank you. I wasn't suggesting it is necessarily bad. It looks like the openness and ease of disabling is being handled much better here than with Win10. However, the option to disable on install (checkbox prompt for preference) would be much better. This is an improvement over the Win10 approach.

Yeah but so what. If the "best" language always won, why isn't the entire world running on Haskell and Rust or whatever? Java's eco-system is ginormous and it's deeply entrenched as the "corporate stack" in non-MS shops, with more than 15 years of history. I'm afraid this is just too late to make a big dent. C# is nicer than Java, but not that much nicer to warrant switching over or rewriting your stuff in a very imm…

On top of that, Scala is a much nicer language than C#. I moved from being a C# developer to Scala and couldn't be happier. Best thing about C# is Visual Studio (IDEs are weaker in Scala land) but a bigger ecosystem and more powerful language make it for it imo.

I am interested in hosting a .NET web app on linux, so I read the docs: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/publishing/linuxproduction.ht... Is there any advantage to running a reverse proxy (nginx) if you already have Cloudfront in front of your cluster, doing the https & gzip work? And, if your web app serves literally 0 static content?
