Don’t forget automatically killing orphans

[-] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 132 points 2 months ago

Before killing yourself, it's your responsibility to kill your children

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 61 points 2 months ago

...and people worry about the name of a git branch.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Garbage collection is such an evil thing...

"how to kill orphaned children in Java"

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

[-] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 28 points 2 months ago

You should tell them that this pronunciation sucks.

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

Dont ignore 'Simple Children'

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 2 months ago

Playground zone signs where I live often read "slow children playing". It's supposed to be "slow (children playing)" but I always get a kick out of reading it as "(slow children) playing".

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

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 month ago

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

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

Reddit: for bots, by bots

[-] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

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

[-] addie@feddit.uk 45 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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".

[-] Linssiili@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 months ago

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

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

Whoosh?

Dumping Core

When your entire identity is about pooping.

[-] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Isn't yours?

[-] RonSijm@programming.dev 21 points 2 months ago

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...

[-] beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months ago

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

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

That was his wife.

Dumping core

Oh, thats why captains in Star Trek do it every even remotely excusable change they get.
