He dumped core. All over the floor. What a mess.

At some I added logging to a thread pool, when it gave up on child-threads, it would be logging things like

"Child 123 is being aborted"

Not the best of phrasing for people that didn't know what that was about...

Dumping core

Oh, thats why captains in Star Trek do it every even remotely excusable change they get.
("Why did we dump the core & why did it detonate??" - "I wanted to see if I can brew coffee in the vacuum of space.")

A bit like when we renamed all the master/slave terminology using different phrasing that's frankly more useful a lot of the time, I think it's about time we got rid of this "child" task nonsense. I suggest "subtask". Then we can reword these books into something that no-one can make stupid jokes about any more, like "how to keep your subs in line" and "how to punish your subs when they've misbehaved".

I don't think changing a profession's terms to "prevent stupid jokes" is a smart move.

"How to enter subspace" "How to bind subs"

Dumping Core

When your entire identity is about pooping.

I'd like more pixels please. Literally can't read it...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I could make out a line that says div element contained inline span child, forcing all children to be wrapped in a block.

Oh, so that's where the creator of ReiserFS got the idea.

I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()

It thought I was promoting violence lol

Imagine the possibilities when AI gets involved and can't distinguish between killing children (programming) vs IRL.

"how to kill orphaned children in Java"

what do you mean Java is also the name of an island

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Java (pronounced jay-va) is also the name of a town near me in Western NY.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should tell them that this pronunciation sucks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear there's a town in NY named Gotham--pronounced GOthum.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.
