That name, though. Magma does not feel like a safe place to store data.

Needs more Levenshtein distance from MAGA.

  I think you need to stop watching CNN if magma is turning into MAGA lol

    *WHOOSH* Here, let me google that for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20768603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20768603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22849522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22849522 You must be fun at parties, since you take information theory jokes so personally. I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you probably wouldn't get it. So here's a TCP joke: Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke? Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke. OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke. OK, I'll hear a TCP joke. Are you ready to hear a TCP joke? Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke. OK, I'm about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline. OK, I'm ready to hear the TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have a setting and will end with a punchline. I'm sorry, your connection has timed out... ...Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?

        Wait, your reply was a joke??! I don't get it. Was there an obscure computer science or information theory or networking protocol reference that I missed? Could you please explain what's so funny about your CNN joke to me? Let me guess: were you referring to Cellular Neural Networks (now THAT would be funny, and right down my alley, but how did you know I spend so many hours watching Cellular Neural Networks, was it that obvious?), or Convolutional Neural Networks (I'm into those too, and use them at work)? Or is it a sexual reference like Condoms, Needles, and Negotiation, an approach to reducing sexually transmitted diseases (which sounds like a good idea to me), or a biological reference like Centrosomin, a protein in Drosophila Melanogaster (which I have no fucking clue what that's about)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_neural_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_neural_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional_neural_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional_neural_network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condoms,_needles,_and_negotiation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condoms,_needles,_and_negotiat... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDK5RAP2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDK5RAP2 It just sounded to me like I hurt your feelings by implying that it was bad to name a project only 1 Levenshtein distance measurement away from such a tired horribly disreputable deeply disgraced hateful racist conspiracy theory associated four letter curse word as MAGA. At the risk of spoiling your CNN joke, please tell me what CNN stands for, and walk me through what's funny about your counter-joke about CNN step by step, and how trying to criticize somebody by doing the exact same thing you're criticizing but with a much less funny joke, then continuing to whine about it without posting any other interesting jokes or comments or links, isn't simply humorless hypocrisy, especially since you post about politics a lot yourself? I'm sorry you're so touchy about the word MAGA! I did't expect anyone here to take such knee-jerk offense, and I'll be glad to offer you a full non-apology apology about how I'm sorry you decided to be so offended, if you can only explain to me why you're so triggered by the mention of the fact MAGA is such a negative word to associate with a project, and what's so funny about your counter-joke about CNN. Speaking of Cellular Neural Networks, here's a funny but highly technical screencast that I just recorded about cellular automata, which looks a lot like magma, and it's chock full of cheesy math and computer science jokes (the code starts at 0:00, the colorful swirly blinkey magma start at 4:00, and at 10:14 "it’s going to get a little weird..."): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLMHxRNuck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyLMHxRNuck
