- Macha 4y agoAlso Dublin 2 (postcode of Dublin city), a thai hotel chain operating in the middle east also, the video game destiny 2, a german magazine, roads in several countries, a vitamin, multiple airplanes, deuterium, a paper size, 2 sided dice and a variant of steel. I don't think anyone expects short acronyms to be globally unique
- FeepingCreature 4y agoProgramming language D 2.0
- vsnf 4y agoSure, many namespace collisions for D2 exit in the universe of possible meanings for the acronym, but in a computer context, and whose headline is “now open source”, it’s reasonable, expected even perhaps, to assume Diablo 2. Also, and I may be showing my age here, who refers to Destiny 2 as D2 without any context?
- rvba 4y agoNot my fault they chose a non unique name for their project. I just pointed it out. Supposedly naming things is one of the problems in programming.
- thiht 4y agoD2 is also a French tank, that's gonna be be really confusing.
