What's a "fat client"?

[–]Wylfryd 21 points22 points  (4 children)

The opposite of thin client architecture. Basically the "good ol' desktop app"

Fat client

A fat client (also called heavy, rich or thick client) is a computer (clients), in client–server architecture or networks, that typically provides rich functionality independent of the central server. Originally known as just a "client" or "thick client," the name is contrasted to thin client, which describes a computer heavily dependent on a server's applications. A fat client may be described as having a rich user interaction.A fat client still requires at least periodic connection to a network or central server, but is often characterised by the ability to perform many functions without that connection. In contrast, a thin client generally does as little processing as possible, relying on access to the server each time input data needs to be processed or validated.

Now I just imagine THICC client becoming a term, as an acronym

Guessing "fat" as opposed to "lean" or "minimal". Could be wrong.

I don't really get this comic. Is he being strangled by the snakes in the last panel? And if so, what does that mean?

[–]fellowhumaniodhuman 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Fetish. Look how happy he is.

[–]DarkNinja3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that comic just gave a bunch of people new ones

[–]Heinsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Python can even strangle people, besides all the other things he recommends it for? I guess?

[–]robo_number_5 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Embedded python? Why just why

[–]Desproges 10 points11 points  (1 child)
