"Best" Web Technology (necro)

@ben_lubar Thought you were making it up and turns out you're not. Is this supposed to be some inside linux geek joke?

@stillwater https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/92185/whats-the-story-behind-super-cow-powers
Once a long time ago a developer was known for announcing his presence on IRC with a simple, to the point 'Moo'. As with cows in pasture others would often Moo back in greeting. This led to a certain range of cow based jokes.

ReadyToRun functionality in .NET Core (meaning that code can be compiled as a pre-deployment step rather than Just In Time on the target machine)
Um this capability existed in ASP like 10 years ago even... unless they're talking about precompiling to machine code.

@Gribnit Oh good, 2003 was wondering when NGEN would become new again. And 2014's .NET Native called to say "I'm here too!"

Huh, weird. Back around early high school, "Moo" was our standard greeting on some of the online games we played. None of us really knew which of us started it or why. And none of us were Linux/UNIX nerds, just rednecks and farmboys.

Why not just necro the actual topic?
... and then delete the necro-post?
Why would anyone care about any of the following:
- necroing
- deleting a post
- deleting a necro-post?
Seriously, I don't understand. I mean, I can understand why an Adrian Monk might care, the same way he might care about whether the items in a grocery store are stacked evenly on the shelves, or are in multiples of 12, but I don't understand why anyone else would care. I wouldn't do it on purpose to annoy someone, but I generally don't change logical behaviors unless I understand why. Note that, "I don't know why it bothers me, it just does", is a semi-valid reason to me. But it does at least require that much of an explanation for me to take seriously.
-
@chozang That's probably why.
-
@chozang reasons why I hate necroing:
- It makes people talk about necroing instead of what the topic is about.
-
@Gąska This topic is about necro, though.
-
Re necroed a thread where I didn't wanna necro originally, and then talk about necro. Keeping true to the forums, the topic is web technology. TDWTF keeps on giving.

I think most people aren't really upset about it; they just like complaining about one particular user who has (had?) a regular habit of doing just those things and complaining about other people who "copy" him in that.

@chozang Just because you deleted your post doesn't mean I can't reply to it.

@Gribnit Just because your reply was deleted doesn't mean that it isn't a post.
