See also the client camera movement guide:
This is ridiculous. There’s no way a client calls a dolly a “pan”.
That’s obviously zooming.
I met a guy who would say “pan forward” and “pan it in an angle”.
I’ll have one zoom sideways to the left, please!
We will zoom out towards the top
Interesting.
The word ‘pan’, came to me from using 3D CAD software and I considered the Jib and Truck actions as ‘pan’ and the original Pan would be camera rotation, which might be ‘turn’ (didn’t use it as much so don’t remember) which was less favourable than using ‘orbit’.
Good to know the word origin.Oh and btw, Dolly would not be zoom, but ‘walk’.
A Pan-o-rama
Client cameras love everyone!
This is nonsense.
What’s the difference between an application and a program?
I don’t think there’s a clear definition of either. I’d say if it has no UI, it’s a program. And if it has a UI, I don’t know if it’s a program or an app.
Historically, an app is something with very limited uses, and a program is more powerful.
Adobe PhotoShop is a program. Apple Photos is an app.
I’d say it gets a little different with command line utilities — maybe “utility” is the appropriate term here, but I’d call something like
grepa program, not an application (again — “utility” also works).To be sure,
grepis extremely powerful, but its scope is limited.
The original Macintosh had an Applications folder. App is what I use to cut through tech speak for people at work because the shortcut is less daunting. They have apps on their phone. They must not be scary like Programs and Applications.
I very much hate the word app. That’s probably my biggest boomer trait.
For me, it’s cloud.
You should check the Cloud to Butt extension. It is immature, but it can make you laugh
haha I think I remember this!
I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term “app” back then as well. Of course it wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.
Also I thought I’d never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!
Double plus good!
The other day I realized they did that because its APPle. I have no evidence but I’m sticking with it
The name of the company is all you need as evidence.
I think I heard “applet” being mentioned for embedded java or something in the early 2000s. I don’t know if that’s connected.
I thought applet came first. Then “web apps” - but i think that’s a windows perspective.
This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/
The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I’d still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.
I’ve been coding since the '80s. I’ve never once heard anyone refer to a bitmap as a “bump”.
Apple didn’t invent the word “app,” but I do think they pushed it because it was adjacent to the company’s name.
thing and stuff
I call everything a script. Makes the Java devs real mad. Makes the PM’s super confused.
A million-line project spread over a hundred files
It’s a script!
GNU Autotools: yes.
sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.
The compiled binary being another script.
Just in a different language.Being one source file is the definition of a script?
The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it’s a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.
Wait, so the
bashscript that I broke down into multiple files because I was unable to create and use functions properly, could not be considered a script?It’s now just a bash
Guess, I’ll be
bashing my way to completion.
They hate to hear it.
In a sense it is, before it gets compiled. And yes I’m using the term loosely, please don’t @ me people
Make it stop!
I think it’s spelled “A1” thanks to our Education Secretary

Who has ever called a batch file an app
My end users
Powershell is a fortnite expansion right?
The script is compiled to a program which is then executed by the OS.
->
The app is appified to an app which is then apped by the app.
Damnit.
Why use many word?
The meme is good and all, but seeing it makes me feel irrationally annoyed because the first place I saw it was a rascist pleroma (fediverse software; mastodon but rasict) instance that had it embedded in the frontend. This just reminds me of it.
