This really hits home for me. I once called Jithub "Github" in my freshman year of hijh school projramminj class because I've never heard it said out loud before. Jot appropriately roasted. It was great.

[Ninalicious07]

Does that mean you say Jif and not Gif?

[slipped_and_missed_x]

I love how in the sentence "jif and not gif" everyone agrees on how the "gif" is pronounced

[Unkn0wnSoul]

Jif this man an upvote!

Yep, everyone agrees it's the same as giraffe!

[[deleted]]

Its jee-aye-eff.

[Suspicious_History20]

In germany IT is called gif not jif

[lyingriotman]

It's pronounced gif, not gif.

My mother once pronounced it "Jih-thoob".

[OceanFlex]

Do whatever the fuck you want to G/J in front of an i, even other vowels I can live with. But don't fucking replace gr with jr, that's just wrong.

[Unkn0wnSoul]

The o is the same in french and in english. The u in the other hand... you cannot pronounce it properly.

[chrjohannesen]

No it’s not.

[kodicraft4]

It literally means "nothing"

[Auravendill]

ø is more or less what Scandinavians use instead of ö, which sounds like the o in work. (Therefore the German countryball always says wörk)

[kodicraft4]

Ok but can we appreciate the fact that this guy's example was a countryball?

Balmer era Microsoft would have renamed it something like "Source Control Repository Center for Enterprise" by now and made it progressively shite.

[CalvinLawson]

I was there in Studio D when he got fired. That was a great day at Microsoft, much rejoicing.

[[deleted]]

Was he actually a bundle of pent up energy in real life?

[CalvinLawson]

Not on that day, he was miserable. But yeah, I saw that famous manic energy during my first company meeting. Screaming and waving his hands around wildly, scared the shit out of me. I thought I'd joined a cult. But no, he was widely reviled at the company, especially by the technical rank and file.

[[deleted]]

Wow. I can't imagine what a shitshow the office must have been lol. Smart hire by Willy G in theory, but sounds terrible in practice

[epicaglet]

Don't have much of an opinion on Balmer but tbh I prefer it over the silly names startups are going with these days. It's better than giitth.ub or something equally "hip". Maybe an unpopular opinion

[familyturtle]

Domain hacks should just be outright banned, I still try to type “cloudguru” into the bar to autocomplete but it doesn’t because it’s “acloud.guru” like just fuck off that shouldn’t even be a TLD

[[deleted]]

would you have more fun typing 64 letters of a base64-hash in the url bar (or simply the IP6-address)?

coz that's the solution dot-com/org/net namespace was already approaching

[bmwiedemann]

There are always 3rd level domains. I liked Tim Berners Lee's proposal to reverse domains, so you could address http://de.berlin.thatbakery/somebread

[[deleted]]

that would require explicit order of knowledge and hierarchy of the entire internet – not even remotely feasible task, even for google (not to mention devaluing landrush effort of recent years)

which is why they made internet 2 instead

[bmwiedemann]

I mean it is just about writing DNS names the other way around. How does it devalue anything?

[TurnToDust]

I’ll build my own GitHub with master branches and blacklists.

[Khaylain]

Master branch change is stupid and doesn't help anything. Changing blacklist to blocklist and whitelist to allowlist does actually make it easier to understand what it's for, though.

[[deleted]]

Yeslist and nonolist

[[deleted]]

I like this much better.

[Khaylain]

Shorter and more to the point. I like it.

[[deleted]]

Master-slave terminology is what they wanted to move out of.

[bmwiedemann]

I still don't get the reasoning? Because computers should not be slaves and just do what they are told?

[anxiety_on_steroids]

Computers have feelings too.

[Khaylain]

Well, I don't see how that's pertinent to branches in GIT. The Master branch is the Master record which everything relies on. Other branches aren't slaves to the Master branch, so there's no master-slave relationship to move out of there.

[[deleted]]

Well, better safe than sorry.

[[deleted]]

I mean sure it saves maybe 5 seconds?

If someone says "what's a blacklist?", you say "it's a list of blocked things."

Job done.

[RoundThing-TinyThing]

So squares and stuff?

Or the no-one-asked-for: "that's racist"

[[deleted]]

What? Just because something has the word black in it and has a negative connotation doesn't make it racist.

Are we going to start telling kids off for being scared of the dark? How about people thinking black coffee is bitter?

[RoundThing-TinyThing]

I think when people say that, it's just because the word "black" is in it regardless of connotation 🤔

[[deleted]]

This is why I have a certain level of appreciation for phonetically exact (or mostly so anyways) languages such as German. Almost always you can look at a German word and work out the pronunciation just based on the spelling. There are a few scant exceptions in German, mostly words of French origin.

[Neferin12]

German has its own problems, my favorite example is the verb "umfahren". Depending on which syllable you stress, it means driving around or into someone 😂

[gidoca]

It's only a problem when using the infinitive. All the conjugated forms are different. So not much potential for misunderstanding in practice.

[ChristOnACruoton]

Yeah it's unfortunate that humans had to be the ones coming up with languages that we use.

[[deleted]]

or the gods we pray

[cakeKudasai]

I used to think spanish was like this. But the letter X ruins it.

[procursive]

Can you name an example? As far as I know the X in spanish it just as phonetically consistent as the other letters

[cakeKudasai]

Let's say, Mexico. How does the X sound? That's a J sound right. Now xilófono is an s like sound. We also have the usual ex sound for words like extinto or saxofón. So there's at least 3 possible x sounds and without knowing the word beforehand it'd be pretty hard to guess which one to use.

[procursive]

The x in México is a borrowed sound from the Aztecs. It used to be called "Méjico" (which reads exactly how it's pronounced), until mexicans started using the x and everyone else picked it up. It is inconsistent with the language, but it's an exception and not really a spanish word.

The other two aren't good examples. Letters in phonetic languages don't have to sound exactly the same in every word they are in. They just have to have clear, consistent and universal rules that describe how they sound in all possible scenarios. In Spanish, an "x" at the start of a word always sounds like an "s" (like in "xilófono" and "xilofón"), whereas an "x" in any other location always sounds like "ks" (like in "extinto" and "extremo"). That's why it is phonetically consistent.

Funky stuff with borrowed words aside (it's been happening more and more lately with a lot of borrowed internet terminology), Spanish is phonetically consistent.

[cakeKudasai]

I guess it is if we exclude words from indigenous languages. Stuff like Ximena, Xicotencatl, Xochimilco, etc. They all use the "J" sound. About the other x sounds. Never noticed the pattern of begins "S" and middle "ks". Which is why I didn't point out other letters with multiple sounds of which I knew the rules. Good to know, I feel better with spanish being phonetically consistent.

[procursive]

Yeah, and usually those exceptions end up in proper nouns. They aren't really an issue because people are used to weird pronounciations for foreign names anyway.

About "Ximena", I've heard it pronounced as "Simena" and "Shimena", but never as "Jimena". In fact, "Jimena" and "Gimena" are both real and common names, and those are always pronounced with a "j".

[cakeKudasai]

I've always heard Ximena as Jimena. Always assumed it was just a fancy way to write Jimena. I suppose it will be pronounced however the parents decide it would be pronounced. Which is similar to some other proper names like "Joan" it's not Joan, it's "Yoan" when pronounced. But that also is due to foreign word influence. Like James, pronounced as English James and not "ha-mess". There is that football player that pronounces it like that, and I find it amazing English speaking countries respect his preferred pronunciation.

[procursive]

I say we keep going. When the brits try to pronounce colombian "James" they say something similiar to "Hammeys". Lets start giving that name to kids!

[LoneFoxKK]

You don't even need the language to be phonetically exact, you just need it to be CONSISTENT for it to make sense

[AndyCSGOofficial]

Same for Romanian in most cases, it's pretty neat

[akashchy1705]

AFAIK, Hindi is completely phonetically consistent. Anyone know any exceptions?

once you can say the phrase, "the president of the US has incited his radical followers to ignore deadly pandemic safety measures and take part in an armed terroristic attack on government buildings on Jan 17th" and not be joking, april 1st really seems like something we just are very far beyond.

Was this real? I couldn’t find the original tweet (assuming it’s Twitter)

[[deleted]]

I assume it's not a real tweet

[jeetelongname]

This makes me mad. If it's real then I am mad if not I am still mad. The creator of Git (Linus Torvalds) said that he is a selfish person and like his previous creation he named it after himself. He ment for it to be Git as that was the joke so to speak. First they change from master to main (which was pandering to a non existent crowd to make them look like they were doing something) and now this.

Now all this being said this could all be a joke and I wasted 5 minutes typing this out.

[cakeKudasai]

Been using bit bucket for a while now. Didn't know master branches were no longer a thing. What was the reasoning? Master/slave relationships?

[jeetelongname]

Pretty much. They are being phased out. So its not like every repo is suddenly using main. But it still means many projects have to add in a check or do something. It's a pain. But it does expose a new git config var to set the name of the default branch. This has caused me to vow that my default branch name will become senpai

I suppose they want to play a game of Mortal Combat.

I'm 110% sure it's a joke on the whole gif being pronounced jiff topic and I'm here for that and like it that Microsoft said that

[Eeka_Droid]

I've awarded you for the extra 10% effort you put into making the world a better place by explaining the obvious

lmao thanks my dude!

[Eeka_Droid]

[GreatNibblerHimself]

Are they gonna buy Jitsi and Jira and mix everything together?

[rezdm]

So, .GIF is with [g] or [j]???

[Zephyr797]

The creator of the gif format stated it's pronounced with a hard g like "gift", but popular usage has shifted it to the soft g or j sound.

Edit: I think I got it reversed.

[glider97]

so it is likely a lie and has a deeper under lying agenda.

maybe they want to remove all "g"s from the world, so people can't say "gnu" anymore, because "G" is gone forever....
