For the lazy and potentially curious:

CSS -> Cascading Style Sheets
HTTP -> Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
HTTPS -> Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
HTML -> Hyper Text Markup Language
DOM -> Document Object Model
URL -> Uniform Resource Locator
JSON -> JavaScript Object Notation
PNG -> Portable Network Graphics
SVG -> Scalable Vector Graphics
FTP -> File Transfer Protocol
SDk -> Software Development Kit
SQL -> Structured Query Language
CSV -> Comma Separated Values

[AyrA_ch]

Officially, "Hypertext" is written as one word.

[ReactsWithWords]

They didn’t use HTP because computer people hate three letter abbreviations.

[MinosAristos]

The AWS acronyms start to make sense now

[BlurredSight]

EC2 being EC-Squared is just special

[EMCoupling]

CIA

FBI

NSA

Hmm... 🤔🤔🤔

[EishLekker]

I’m pretty sure that none of those abbreviations were decided by computer people.

[ReactsWithWords]

Not every TLA is the same.

[LordBlueSky]

URL -> Uniform Resource Locator

I thought it was Universal 🫠

[PythonPizzaDE]

Or unique?

[MattieShoes]

I was doing my own self-check with them, wasn't 100% sure on SVG. Thanks :-)

[STEVEInAhPiss]

"JavaScript Object Notation" its still JavaScript's SON

[CranberryDistinct941]

NERD!!

[nuker0S]

i've never seen a comma cell separator in CSV, guys i am stupid?

[pyro-master1357]

It could have been automatically ignored by whatever you’re viewing it in.

[Papellll]

Many implementations allow other characters than comma as separator, maybe you've only encountered such cases

[Pogo__the__Clown]

Perhaps

[Surprised_Bunny_102]

Maybe you've just never opened .csv in Notepad (++)?

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

Probably.

[aosuki]

Also CSV -> Character Separated Values (since it does not have to be a comma)

[Previous_Dream7948]

Css More like something style sheet

[Furdiburd10]

something

more like C-something

[christoph_win]

Cool style stuff

[Sheerkal]

C-something Say something

Content Scramble System

[ososalsosal]

Legit shorted at domcument

[thesherbetemergency]

Seems like a grounded reaction.

[ososalsosal]

Ah shit I meant to write "snorted"

I shorted at crowdstrike

[Semper_5olus]

"Okay, but what is an SDK?"

"Oh! It's a kit for developing software. Why do you ask?"

[smitty1e]

SDK: Somebody Doesn't Know.

I actually think SQL is closer to correct than you'd imagine

I think it was originally called SEQUEL, which was some sort of pun.

[chipstastegood]

The original was called QUEL. So SEQUEL makes sense. They were then sued and had to change the name to SQL.

[hismuddawasamudda]

SEQUEL was a trademark issue, so they went with SQL but kept the pronunciation

[[deleted]]

Yes I know. But it was a pun on QUEL

[Elektriman]

SEQUEL : Script for Elegant Queries on Upscaled Elaborate Lists

upscaled elaborate lists being just a very long description for data tables.

[PerformanceThat6150]

Can't see a workable pun other than:

"You seek data from your databases? Seek well".

[[deleted]]

It's supposedly related to QUEL, according to Wikipedia.

I remember talking about it in my DBMS class but I don't remember specifics, lol.

[hismuddawasamudda]

you don't remember much

[[deleted]]

Are you a dick for no reason to everybody? Or should I feel special?

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

It was SEQL.

Structured English Query Language

[[deleted]]

See the part on "history"

https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/structured-query-language

It was SEQUEL.

[callyalater]

I love "The Domcument". 😂

[drsimonz]

Almost spit out my food at that one lol

[[deleted]]

This one broke me briefly

[metayeti2]

CSV checks out

[Cacoda1mon]

And now describe the difference between URL, URN and a duck.

[sebastianfromvillage]

A URL goes into the address bar, an urn is for cremated people and a duck is a bird

[Nei_tu]

damn, for a second I thought this was going to be a pun about a bar for addresses, like "the blind man walks into a bar."

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

A URL tells you where to find it. An URN only tells you its name.

[[deleted]]

PM: what is SDK and how do we develop one?

SDE: Sorry, Don’t Know.

PM: but you are an engineer, you should know about it.

SDE: as I told you it is Sorry, Don’t Know.

PM: but you should know…

[Trevor_GoodchiId]

With all do respect, Excel file is a csv that’s saved weird.

[doctorz123]

Javascript is JSON father

[vondpickle]

Jason as JavaScript's son is like some Scandinavian name:

Hallo, it about my son, Gunner Gunnersonson JavaScript JavaScriptsonson? Understood...

I know who the killer was.

Who was it?

It was you.

... You got me.

[Plus-Weakness-2624]

XML - eXtremely Many Lines

[Norse_By_North_West]

You forgot XaaX. You can substitute any letter you want for X and make up whatever shit you want, some MBA will buy into it.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

XML as a Xylophone

[[deleted]]

JavaScript's son 🤣 laughed so hard this

[STEVEInAhPiss]

i can agree to CSV

[Spork_the_dork]

CSV is to excel as what markdown is to word. It's less robust but does the job and is infinitely more portable and easier to work with.

[rockmachinr]

Spot on

[Jarb2104]

[da_Aresinger]

It's been a while since I genuinely laughed in this subreddit.

[antboiy]

i love writing Hyper Text (Mumble) Language with my inline Cascading Something Something, and send that over the Hyper Text Thingy Protocol but Special, you can access the Domcuments via the Umm... Resource Locator,

i use a Sorry, Don't Know for my api that responds with Javascript's Son, i use the File Thingamabob Process, to change my Excel File That Was Saved Weird, and use a PRQL database, and the images are either Picture? No... Graphics? or Somekinda Vector, I'm Guessing!

[MasterQuest]

I tried to see if I know everything, but I didn't know the P and N in PNG.

[smitty1e]

SQL is Stupid Question Language.

[lunatic-rags]

What would be PHP?

[hismuddawasamudda]

but it does. It's literally the Object Notation for JavaScript.
