Protolol Jokes
- icandoitbetter 15y agoThere might actually be some educational value to this.
- mirkules 15y agoI once told an Objective-C joke, but nobody got the message. The thing about NTP jokes is you have to get the timing right. I broke up with Java last week, and I still couldn't get any closure. (I could go on, but I'll spare you - yes, I just thought of these, is it that obvious?)
- kirubakaran 15y agoPlease go on. These are awesome.
- mirkules 15y agoAlright... Java is write once, run anywhere. Perl is write once, turn and run. OO is like real life: you inherit properties, you cheat a little, then you get divorced, and you're left with an old, broken model Bash is named after the monkey who successfully typed out Hamlet. Korn shell was named after the band, and even though America won the cold war, UTF-8 was a notable casualty, so we couldn't use the backward R The whole class was confused after Jimmy sang 10 little endians and stopped at the second one. Thank you, I'll be here all week.
- paraschopra 15y ago>Thank you, I'll be here all week. Was this supposed to be a joke too? :)
- mirkules 15y agoI realized this morning that Jimmy should have stopped at the first little endian.
- CoffeeDregs 15y agoNah. he should stop after the tenth (second). iterate over (0,1) , but sing (1,10) or i+1. excellent jokes. EDIT: Oh crap. Was that a joke about stopping on the first endian? If so, I just committed a classic geek fail...
- mirkules 15y agoI was referring to "little endianness", where the least significant bit is on the left, which makes 10 = 1, whereas in big endian it would be 2 :)
- 32ftpersecond 15y agoJust read these all in Rodney Dangerfield's voice, delightful.
- sbierwagen 15y agoI tell ya, my programming language don't get no respect at all. I was telling my coworker about the library I was writing in my 10% time, and he asked if it was used for steering a turtle! No respect at all... Our meetups don't get a lot of traffic either. Last time only one guy showed up, and he was in the wrong room! Turned out he was looking for the cooler, more hip meetup across the hall-- it was for Ada! No respect at all... I told my boss he should give me a raise, that developers for my language were in big demand. He said from who, Fischer-Price? I tell him no, that Facebook was looking for guys like me, and he said that would only be happening if they're looking for a guy to rewrite existing code into a language used more widely and was more corporate friendly-- like EmacsLisp!
- ez77 15y agoInteresting to see a seemingly premium domain devoted to geeky jokes, with no ads or solicitation.
- angadsg 15y agoI was amused by #protolol jokes on twitter. Wanted to collect them in one place. Wrote a simple GAE python application that would search for a particular hash tag and post the selected tweets to your tumblr blog. Fixing some usability issues. Will post the link soon :)
- limmeau 15y agoI'd tell you an X11 joke, but you don't have the PROTOCOL_JOKE extension. etc.
- Zolomon 15y agoYou must add a voting function! I want to upvote/downvote!
- mikle 15y agoNow there are at least two redditors in this thread.
- jrockway 15y agoToo many jokes from yoshicool. One of these puns is funny. One about every TCP protocol from 1 to 1024 is ... unfunny. Did you hear the one about HTTP? Transfer-encoding: chunked. (See? Not funny.)
- ay 15y agoFor the HTTP joke to be funny, you would need to sniff the content-type first.
- CJefferson 15y agoSome of those are suprisingly funny. I would really like to see some kind of voting / sorting option, so the better ones can float to the top (although that would break the ...fragmentation... jokes)
- phsr 15y agoWould it? Part of the joke is that it may never get there ;)
- athom 15y agoDon't quit() the daily job.
- rezahazri 15y agoOh man,it would be great if all the jokes come with doodles
- ntoshev 15y agoI thought this would be about social protocols. Do you have some of these?
- loevborg 15y agoI scanned a dozen or so of the jokes and didn't find any of it funny.
- kloc 15y agoSince I get all the protolol jokes and I am sure there are very limited number of people on this earth who gets them, I feel like I am part of some technology brotherhood and that makes me feel good :)
- ay 15y agoOh, so you have SCTP and DCCP support too ?
- sharjeel 15y agoThe problem with HackerNews jokes is that you get labelled as Redditer and get downvotted
- blinkingled 15y agoThe problem with Java Reference jokes is that you have to continually reference them. Otherwise they just become garbage.
- akent 15y agoWhat was wrong with the plain text version? http://attrition.org/misc/ee/protolol.txt http://attrition.org/misc/ee/protolol.txt Much easier to skim through quickly.

- mcburton 15y agoI'd like to share my SCSI joke, but I already told it 7 times.
- afhof 15y agoWhy would anyone make an instance of abstract art?
- spydum 15y agoThese are awesome! Why have I not seen this before?!
- gnubardt 15y agoWhy did the two lisp atoms lose all their money? They got consed
- marshray 15y agoMy favorite is from a friend at work @Dispensa: There... There is... There is nothing... There is nothing funny about path MTU detection.
- seri 15y agoWithout loss of generality, let us assume that all mathematical jokes are funny.
