Don’t forget automatically killing orphans
Before killing yourself, it's your responsibility to kill your children
...and people worry about the name of a git branch.
Garbage collection is such an evil thing...
Dont ignore 'Simple Children'
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".
Dumping core FTW
I'd like more pixels please. Literally can't read it...
I could make out a line that says div element contained inline span child, forcing all children to be wrapped in a block.
Pixel machine broke
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
Imagine the possibilities when AI gets involved and can't distinguish between killing children (programming) vs IRL.
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".
"How to enter subspace" "How to bind subs"
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.
Isn't yours?
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...
Oh, so that's where the creator of ReiserFS got the idea.
That was his wife.
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.")He dumped core. All over the floor. What a mess.

Is this the one from [ https://os-book.com ]?!
Could we please let this 30+ year old joke just die?
What have you got against me? 😭
Just for this comment I'm reposting this next week.
Many here will be seeing this for the first time. For others it will be a fun reminder of something they haven't seen for a long time. Still others will find it to be the same old tired shit they're sick of.
When you see the same old tired shit on Lemmy (or any social media), just move on. There will be plenty that is new to you.
We’re gonna put it on a scheduled repost loop, with it being stickied for at least an hour every post. A different hour each time too.
I wonder what the children of this joke would be...
i agree, it's time to let the next generation take over, grandpa
No die, is funni
