Seems stupid to call it flux
- thechriswalker 11y agoSurely it's because it looks like a flux capacitor. Seems reasonable to me.
- deanCommie 11y agoCorrect. Compare the image at the top of the article (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1UN25h8GKVw/VgxffFjqvUI/AAAAAAAAAQI/O6tlMA8Rkfo/s320/flux_intro.png http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1UN25h8GKVw/VgxffFjqvUI/AAAAAAAAAQ...) to http://electroshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FluxCapacitor2.jpg http://electroshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/FluxCapa...
- pluma 11y agoIsn't that mostly an accident of the current data center infrastructure and subject to change? If they had waited until, say, EU-East-1 or Asia-East-1 came along they might as well have called it Switzerland.
- bdchauvette 11y agoThe GP might be referring to the fact that Facebook also has a project called Flux [1]. [1] https://facebook.github.io/flux/ https://facebook.github.io/flux/
- agumonkey 11y agoAgreed, considering how new and trendy Flux is ... that is a weird name usage.
- oh_sigh 11y agoThey should have called it Uterus.
- jlas 11y agoI came here just to confirm that someone would complain about the name.
- evan_ 11y agoEspecially since Netflix is using React pretty heavily- they must know that there's a conflict.
