"networking" in the social sense or in the administration/programming sense?

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 69 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Good one 🀣 I don't think I have ever used the word to mean "managing social networks" or the likes 🀣

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 73 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a trick question anyway, most programmers are probably bad at both Ü

I am so going to start to use computer networking terminology when talking about social networking from now on.

I would ping her, but I have no handler in the event of NACK

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is very common to use ACK in social contexts as well if you work in IT I have found. Like "had a meeting about that issue, awaiting ACK from John"

[–] diaphragmwp@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, and there's "tACK" and "uACK" for tested and untested acknowledgements of patches. Slightly shorter than "lgtm, your call".

She was SYN flooded, if y'know what I mean...

RST + complementary shoulder to cry on

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

TCP RST, find it what it means to me, TCP RST, Take out UDP! Socket to me, socket to me...

403 connection not found.

[–] Krinkil2705@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

403 is forbidden. 404 is not found.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That was on purpose. πŸ€₯

I proposed to that girl, she sent me a 403 code
