- buryat 9y agoRemember that naming is one of the hardest things in software engineering.
- mrep 9y agoThat and off by one errors ;)

- mrep 9y agoHaha, you are correct, but there are some other hard problems that I now remember after some quick googling since i forgot all the related jokes :) There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery There's two hard problems in computer science: we only have one joke and it's not funny.

- seventydwarves 9y ago"Spectre" is a pretty cool and spooky name all by itself.
- zamber 9y agoSpectre (2015), from IMDB: > A cryptic message from Bond's past, sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the Secret Service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind S.P.E.C.T.R.E. Catchy, on point pop-culturally and ominous.
- mtgx 9y agoYes. This is why it kind of frustrates me to see all the "experts" hate on the naming of bugs. This is how you raise awareness about them, which in some cases could be as important as discovering the bugs (especially if the vendors are unwilling to fix them otherwise - think airline industry, and so on).
