  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.

  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!

  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

    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.

  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

    You do -dp when the stars align, obviously

  Friend working with rodent data often had, prolly intentional, git lines like “push mouse_anal”

  shrug Non-issue. File name extensions are irrelevant on Linux and you can always use an alias if you don’t like the command’s name.
