Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities
I’ll start:
- Firewall
- Virtual Memory
- Single source of truth
- Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
Default Gateway
Split Horizon
Routing Overhead
Broadcast Storm
edit:fkn markdown
Split Horizon sounds really high-level.
Not necessarily PC related, but:
Uninterrupted Power Supply
Ping of death
Bash
Vim (clearly a buff)
Memory leak
Destructor
Dynamic dispatch
Execute
Volatile Memory
PEBCAK
Secrets
Cloud Run
Kubernetes
Flash
Rest endpoint
Hyperconvergence or hypervisor.
- scroll snapping
- unit tests
- vulnerability
- fastboot
- root access
- abstraction level
- unity framework
Ruby gems
Memory leaks
Layers of abstraction
Master branch
Void function
- Big endian (a very powerful NPC)
- Hardware abstraction (a spell that makes all the stuff disappears)
- Obfuscation (invisibility spell)
- Multiplexing (ability to cast several spells as one)
- Dangling reference (when wrong information is given by somebody)
- Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
- Pure virtual method (anything somebody learned but will never use)
- Diamond inheritance (when someone in the party dies and all of their money is spread accross the others)
Can you tell what’s my job?
I target you and cast polymorphism.
Power word (sudo) Kill!
Embedded systems?
DevOps or Sys Admin?
- Terminal shell
- Kill daemon
- Timeshift
- Cloud hosting
- Ethernet
- Overwrite memory
- Free memory
- Poison artifical intelligence
- Defragmentation
Dependency injection
Isn’t that just sex?
Scroll lock. To protect your scrolls.
Think that’s that wizards get when they’re having trouble studying.
Memory Leak
World wide web would be an OP spell
A crack forms below you… and suddenly a tunnel collapses inward beneath your feet.
After a short while your fall is arrested. You are now snagged in a web, in the dim light lit from where you fell you can see this web goes on, all around you, seemingly forever.
