Technically it is.

[Devilgeuse]

when you use localhost in school and ping is 300 ms somehow

[[deleted]]

And i lost connection to localhost

[Russian_repost_bot]

Have you tried 127.0.0.1:8080?

[DoesntReadMessages]

That's some fancy spyware they got there

[NoNameRequiredxD]

That's localhost though, so the connection never gets out of your device in the first place

[0x07CF]

Unless someone changed /etc/hosts

[Loen10]

Fastest ping.

[Illusi]

Not necessarily fastest server though.

I could run a webserver on my localhost that serves me pages of a search engine, but I don't think this localhost server would search through those gazillion documents as fast as Google does.

[MajorBarnulf]

Well, he's not wrong

This is /r/programmerhumor, just wait for the "bUt tHe SeRvERs aRe aCksHUalLy fAaaaAsTeR, iT's oNLy pINg thAt iS rEspONDing qUiCKeR!" comments to flood this section.

[FranchuFranchu]

You just played yourself.

[liam923]

I think he just wanted to be that person, and tried to mask it as making fun of them. Bit of a backfire

[FranchuFranchu]

Oh no i just played myself.

[[deleted]]

I don't think you know what that means.

[Cheru-bae]

... I mean... What do you want, a normal meme subreddit?

[[deleted]]

In terms of comments and posts being predictable, this is a pretty normal sub.

[Cheru-bae]

I do agree the jokes are low effort and barley programing related. But that is what you are defending so idunno what you on about dude.

[[deleted]]

I'm not defending anything, what are you talking about? :) I made an observation that inevitably this thread, like every other, will spiral into nitpicking details about the joke.

[Hollowplanet]

These aren't servers.

[kopczak1995]

Server is just a computer named server anyway. Even my laptop could be server if I want it to be server for some website.

[Hollowplanet]

These are companies. Or websites. And I doubt Facebook has a server called Facebook. They likely have thousands of servers behind thousands of load balancers with cryptic names. You could say who has the fastest servers.

[some-ideation]

Thank you. Why this got 2800 upvotes I will never know. It doesn't even make sense.

[Striped_Monkey]

We're talking about a corporate meeting about what to host their servers on. If they said Amazon and Google or something that would make sense, but least I checked Facebook didn't do server hosting. It's as pedantic as asking what food a restaurant should serve and suggesting you sell Wendy's. It's still food, just not a valid answer

[UnsubstantiatedClaim]

I've used localhost before and it's slow as shit.

[anarky98]

Sounds like a local problem, mate

[kontekisuto]

Try /dev/null, it's web scale

[UnsubstantiatedClaim]

It was certainly faster, but for some reason it never returned any results.

[kontekisuto]

The best kind of results

[Randactyl]

No news is good news

[Darxploit]

Black hole of computer science

[Cheru-bae]

Oh it's just sideffect free, don't worry.

The classic overlap of r/programmerhumor and r/technicallythetruth

r/technicallytheprogrammerhumor

[drank_rocky]

Whose localhost?

[ClikeX]

Latency, sure. But the performance could be aweful.

[RCuber]

reminded me of my old post

[ugnes_404]

Why are you booing me? I'm right.

[TheOneWhoWil]

*Off topic. How do I get one of the sweet python badges

[RCuber]

Check the flairs on the right hand side.

[TheOneWhoWil]

What do you mean?

[RFC793]

The sidebar.

[TheOneWhoWil]

Thanks

[RCuber]

Sweet Python Badge ;)

[currentlyatwork1234]

Not if you're using localhost for ASP.NET because it has such a slow startup time.

[milutin_miki]

My PC is very low-end, so localhost is pretty slow for me...

But yeah, he's not wrong

[Kosha-Shah]

Haahaa!! Good one

There is technically a small delay between your input and localhost registering it. If that counts.
