"programming has things called "threads" and things called "strings" and they somehow have fuck all to do with each other"

You forgot java (coffee beans)

No one say anything about master/slave

[–] twhite@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oh you mean primary/secondary?

Down the rabbit hole we go!

Chrome and Windows? What in the closed source development environment?

I think the fediverse is having a naming issue too. Most people don't realize Lemmy is basically just the forum days of old, but you can share your account everywhere. (yes the code is more complicated but the users don't need to know that)

Not even that. I’m getting serious Usenet vibes (from the early 90s, not the thing it has since devolved into). Even the decentralized paradigm with independent servers syncing with each other is conceptually similar (although I’d bet NNTP was a quite different protocol than what we’re using now).

Where's the slaves?

That Apache (restaurant) server can be pretty dangerous if you make him mad.

Firefox is wrong. That’s red panda, not a fox.

[–] kurosawaa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Chinese word for red panda is literally Firefox, 火狐, that's where the web browsers name comes from.

[–] acquiescence@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't they called 小熊猫 (little panda)? This is the first time I've heard them called 火狐

[–] kurosawaa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both are correct. If you check the dictionary both are listed, as well as 紅熊貓. 小熊貓 is definitely the most common word though.

I always feel awkward saying hash cause the weed stuff

[–] spoopyking@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

How can you leave out daemons?

[–] sillypuddy@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I get all of the associations, butt strings?

[–] Eddyzh@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool However dont make a red panda a Firefox please.
