- maxnoe 4y agoGluons are what holds protons together
- codetrotter 4y agoAll the good names are taken. As long as the product is different it’s fine. IMAP library vs some Java thing.
- zitterbewegung 4y agoMoving to emojis is the next step. See huggingface.co
- magicalhippo 4y agoOh, it's the emoji? I've just seen the domain name out and about so assumed it was Alien reference.
- codetrotter 4y agoSame, never made the connection to the emoji myself either. Then again, I don’t use the “hugging face” emoji almost ever. But even if I did use it, I would probably think of it visually or just as the word “hug”. That’s how I think of and use other emojis — either visually or as a simple word. Either way, I will intentionally continue to think of huggingface.co as being a reference to Alien facehuggers.
- zitterbewegung 4y agoIt is their logo.
- codetrotter 4y agoTrue. Still never made the connection.
- layer8 4y agoSame here, though now that I think about it, a facehugger is kinda the opposite.
- codetrotter 4y agoMaybe. But if a hugging face hugs you, it probably hugs your face. This would make the hugging face a face hugger. (But it would not necessarily make it a facehugger.)
- zitterbewegung 4y agoThe joke would be facehugger but maybe it could be added to Unicode.
- HeckFeck 4y agoSomeone might confuse it with the Gluon Gun as well: https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Gluon_Gun https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Gluon_Gun
- tylersmith 4y agoIt's not very easy to confuse a software library with a fictional gun. You have to try pretty hard.
- HeckFeck 4y agoI was being a little sarcastic with my comment's parent, but maybe this isn't the forum for it.
- sporedro 4y agoSomewhat related but every time I see the AWS lambda I immediately think half life.

- chomp 4y agoIf people wanted unique project names, they wouldn’t choose dictionary nouns/verbs. By your rules, gluonhq shoulda chose a different name because The Real Gluon is an OpenWRT project. Come on, just let people name stuff.
