    I genuinely think that being able to name your own invention or discovery is a big driver for scientific progress.

    See the Cox Zucker Machine!

    Given that there’s an acknowledgement of the tool in a 1996 article, the software may even be older than sex itself

    Also what a time capsule this page is lol, nothing wrong with it really… just a relic of a different era

    I worked at a place where the asset management system was called “ASS” and yes, publishing assets was called “pushing to ASS”. Unfortunately management eventually made the developer change it.

      At work, work is assigned to people through a system that contains a Value Assessment Gate. Work frequently gets stuck in the VAG, which is the code used to interact with that component. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to get things out of the VAG, and when they do come out, it’s called flowing out/on

        My old job had a deployment script called shipmyself. The developer who wrote it brought it up by name whenever possible. He really enjoyed it.

        You have to be careful when the input is discharged from the system, it can really make a mess of things

    Reminds me of a tool at my job called Picard. No idea what it does, but my disappointment was palpable when I found out that there wasn’t even a hint of a star trek easter egg

    if it HAS to be -dp and you can’t also use -pd then it is implemented incorrectly.

    Dunno why you’d ever do -pd, considering, but still

      Boring real answer: stars in an image. It’s a robust pre-opencv image processing tool for astrophysics.

      See also SAO Image DS9, which was the subsequent version after SAO Image Next Generation.
