Behold, the thrilling saga of "Revolutionary" UI Fragments 🤯, where we discover yet another web dev nothing-burger, now with extra jargon! Get ready to chuckle as #buzzwords like "modular" and "pragmatic" dance around in an academic paper that basically says, "Hey, let's use components... again!" 👏🌟

💡 Oh joy, another self-help #jargon fest from Simon Pickles, who clearly thinks multiplying forces is the secret to world domination. 🤖 Just remember, none of this works unless you have #JavaScript enabled—because changing the world starts with browser settings, not actions. 🌐

Dear undergraduate college/university #students in the USA,

I know you've been taught that it is "professional" to use #business #jargon like "reach out," "circle back", etc., and phrases euphemistically avoiding direct disagreement (e.g. "How can we resolve this?") or responsibility (e.g., "An error was made...").

You should know that many of us became professors partly because we did not want to be bankers or middle managers. In fact, many of us have issues with the commodification of the world in general and absolutely reject its intrusion into higher education.

For those of us in this boat (and I think it's quite a few professors), I am letting you know:

We fucking hate that language. Hate it.

📚✨ Behold, the magnum opus of level design: a tome so dense with #jargon and concepts, it could double as a doorstop for a medieval castle. 🏰📖 With enough chapters to rival a dictionary, this book promises to turn the simple act of designing a digital space into a PhD in overcomplicated nonsense. 🎮🤯

"It's at the edge of the cloud, innit?"

Now you have reduced the problem to defining "cloud".

Reducing a problem to a previously solved one is #mathematics.

(-:

I suspect that people who say "edge" and "cloud" and people who say "CPE" and "CDN" are mostly in two different worlds.

TIL, most corporate #jargon is military jargon that the business world picked up as World War 2 veterans came home and took jobs at growing conglomerates:

🚀 Oh, rejoice! Another #manifesto has dropped, explaining why you should throw away those pesky #vector rerankings and embrace the magical #Superlinked vector #layer instead. 🧙‍♂️ Because, obviously, the solution to all your #search woes is to read 10,000 words of #tech #jargon to understand the thing you supposedly don't need to understand. 📚✨

*Has "ethnonat" become a general term of art now, or is it just an online Indian term-of-art #politics #jargon #ethnonational

I didn't know how much I loved the term "cross-honor" until I got an alert about the NJ Transit strike last night. It has such a narrow use--apparently specific to temporary softenings of boundaries between ordinarily discrete public transportation systems--but I find it quite clear.

Also it sounds like (1) a specific and archaic bit of medieval armor or weaponry, (2) a supportive bit of masonry in cathedral construction, or (3) a faddish hybrid breakfast pastry with flaky, buttery layers.

BTW, scientists (and other people with jargon) can also train to speak comprehensible for non-academic audiences. Quickest exercise: Explain your research to children.
