Or thunder vs lightning
- Jtsummers 12y agoI had that and about 10 other examples (supersonic aircraft, hearing a car before it passes through your field of view, etc.). They were eaten by an accidental command-w. I have a number of technical friends, but also a lot of non-technical friends. Being a nerd, however, I tend to bring up technical topics amongst my non-technical friends more often than is fair. I've found that many of our CS topics (networking, OS, performance, security, etc.) have good physical analogs to at least convey a 10,000' view. Often (like latency) there are some almost perfect analogies that everyone has experienced or witnessed. I'm not turning them into programmers, but they'll understand the terms better.
