Ideas:
Wind = 风 is shorthand for custom or style
Pole = 极 limit or point
Dragon = 龍旂 flag
So my take would be asking if there are JSP settings(defaults,limits, flags) that interact
With the runtime.
My 2c.
For the record the original question is much more enjoyable :-D
- kqr 1y agoAuthor here. I really like that interpretation. How would you like to be credited for it?
- morpher 1y agoCould it be "command line flag"?
- yorwba 1y ago龍旂 is the dragon flag of Chinese emperors. https://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%AB%9C%E6%97%97-658618 https://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%AB%9C%E6%97%97-658618 A computer flag is フラグ (furagu). https://jisho.org/search/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B0 https://jisho.org/search/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B0 Going from フラグ to 龍旂 is no less weird than going from English "flag" to "dragon." 风 and 极 are Simplified Chinese. The corresponding Japanese characters are 風 and 極 and they don't connect to defaults or limits in software either. Now it's of course possible that 松本武 is not Matsumoto Takeshi (松本•武) but instead Song Benwu (松•本武) and the original message was in Chinese, but that doesn't explain the curious word choice either.
- zoom6628 1y agoI don't speak Japanese so took a left field shot using Chinese - simplified characters used because that easier for me as non Chinese person to write. From everyday experience some really weird phrases are people recycling old expressions so I took a few minutes look for old Chinese words that might fit. And Japan still uses trad Chinese characters as one of its writing systems. So putting my small brain and some imagination, and 5 decades of messing with software, this was what I came up with. Purely my intellectual exercise shared in the hope of triggering someone with actual/better answer.
- yorwba 1y agoIt's usually best to share such caveats upfront, because people tend to be pretty trusting that statements that sound like they would require substantial expertise to produce are in fact produced by someone with such expertise. See also: people in this thread sharing whatever ChatGPT came up with, even though it's nonsense if you know how to tell the difference.
- thaumasiotes 1y ago> simplified characters used because that easier for me as non Chinese person to write Really? What makes one style or the other easier for you to write? Note that you didn't actually succeed at using simplified characters; 风 is simplified, but 龍 isn't. > And Japan still uses trad Chinese characters as one of its writing systems. No, that's just false. They use their own system, which involves some characters that match traditional Chinese, some characters that match simplified Chinese, and some characters that are specific to Japanese.
- danparsonson 1y agoI seem to remember in the original thread (I am that old) that another poster identified this as a mistranslation of 'try, catch, finally' and the post overall was talking about throwing (vomiting) exceptions. I don't have a reference for that though sadly! (edit: never mind, I see the original is linked there already. Please apologise for your stupidity!)
- thaumasiotes 1y agoWell, there is a Google Groups link. But it doesn't include any speculation as to the meaning of the question. It contains no responses other than two requests to repost the question in Japanese.
- danparsonson 1y agoIndeed, so I misremembered. I didn't come up with the try-catch-finally idea myself though so perhaps I'm thinking of an earlier showing of this from somewhere.
