Don’t forget automatically killing orphans

[-] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 123 points 7 months ago

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

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 59 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Garbage collection is such an evil thing...

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 83 points 7 months ago

Dont ignore 'Simple Children'

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 7 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 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 16 points 7 months ago

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

[-] addie@feddit.uk 47 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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 22 points 7 months ago

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

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

Dumping Core

When your entire identity is about pooping.

[-] Pantsofmagic@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Isn't yours?

[-] RonSijm@programming.dev 20 points 7 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 19 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

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.")

[-] bad_alloc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Hemuphone@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Could we please let this 30+ year old joke just die?

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 47 points 7 months ago

Nah, we gotta kill, preferably with -9. 🤣

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago

You know I’ve known for decades that -9 is basically “nuke it from orbit”, but does anyone know what the “9” actually means or where it came from?

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 18 points 7 months ago

It's the number of the signal sent, 9 is for SIGKILL. You can send various signals with kill, and depending on how application was made it may react on all signals with dying, or meaningfully process most of them. Afaik, SIGKILL can't be processed by the app, and it always means just that: "die already".

Checked in Wikipedia, that's about right but there are more details I left out, mostly because didn't know about them, too: POSIX signals

You can use kill -l (lowercase L) to see a list of signals. But IIRC it’s the same as -KILL.

EDIT: fixed the signal name.

[-] southernbrewer@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

TERM is the default (15). 9 is KILL

What have you got against me? 😭

[-] tate@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 7 months ago

i agree, it's time to let the next generation take over, grandpa

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I wonder what the children of this joke would be...
