Anybody else ever use HoTMetaL to make a website?
I had HotMetal Pro. I got it on a cd in a library book sale.
Add enough JavaScript frameworks and I’m sure the metal gets very hot indeed.
Good thing it’s not running on bare metal, amirite
PHP: fffffffp
I thought HTML was hate em all.
HTML = hit mill
It’s like a machine (mill) that gets you hits (web traffic)HTTP = hitch tip
It’s the tip of the hitch that you attach to the hit mill
JSON is pronounced Jason
SCSI was always skuzzy.
Ah, I see, you’re a person of culture and distinguished taste.
I feel like this one is relatively uncontroversial
URL pronounced as “earl” however? I’ll spend all of my remaining energy in life ensuring the person saying it is stapled to the bottom of the Mariana trench with rebar
JSON Statham
But only if you do it like Heavy Rain.
It isn’t Jason, it’s Jayson. But yeah, basically indistinguishable.
And the only sane choice, as opposed to Sequel.
SQL is pronounced ‘Sequel’ because it was originaly SEQUEL.
SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd[12] in the early 1970s.[13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM’s original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s.[13]

It then later evolved, and changed from being an acronym into an initialism, kind of, sort of, mostly for people who are unaware of the etymology.
‘Sequel’ is quite literally the tradtional way to pronounce it.
TIL, thank you. Still not gonna say it like that.
DNS is pronounced ‘hosts’ because it was originally one big text file.
Thanks for making the comment I came to make. I imagine being older and remembering SQL as a new-ish thing really helped cement this, but when I started programming professionally for an enterprise, literally everyone pronounced it like this. I can see how and why it makes little sense to younger people.
The wild thing is I’m only in my 30s, I’m probably a youngin’, compared to you, I just was around a good deal of old timers, real fuckin’ wizard types.
Still gonna call it squirrel though
Came here to make this comment. So by the same logic, DNS or Domain Name System should have been abbreviated to DoNaS and pronounced dou-NAS.
This is amazing in its truthfulness.
I had a coworker pronounce URL as Earl.
I like to pronounce them like squeal and dunes.
enjinx
that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it
denise
It’s the DENNIS system.
If the nameserver says no, then the answer obviously, is no.
Bro I heard someone pronounce it squeal before 🫠
That’s adorable!
Less so when you consider my rotten syntax
I have always called SQL, S Q L.
And if they wanted Qt pronounced any way beside “cutie,” they shouldn’t have spelled it “cutie.”
I started learning some qt and python and apparently it’s pronounced cute.
Nah.
Fwiw I still say cutie everytime
It’s always Dennis
That’s bad logic, obviously if SQL is “sequel” then DNS is “denues.”
