An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.

When you’re on the information superhighway, in cyberspace, sometimes you want to send someone some information (datums). Sometimes an electronic mail is too formal or cumbersome for that, so you instead send them digital text messages, basically cybernetic telegrams, called e-notes.
This comment has too many high syllable words in it. Could you please condense this down into an e-note?

A reposotory is a suppository you can share with others when asked with an e-note.

Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don’t know if I would do much better.

Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).
Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.
Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.
I think I even got the word count down.

Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

I haven’t seen the news release, but I would hope they are explaining those terms because they are going to have someone on to talk about github and they were planning on using said terms

Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet
Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point
Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.
Fox News viewers would need the concept of “sharing” explained to them first.
Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We’re going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.
We’re all sharing the same communal air? Tragedy of the commons. Someone must privatise it immediately!

I’m surprised they didn’t sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.

“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something

What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:
-
Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.
-
Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.
-
Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”
The Fox News intern probably didn’t need a ton of water and the energy of a small country just to be trained, though.

But then why use
Term: explanation
and directly below that
“Term”-- explanation
Oh my gods I didn’t even notice that until you pointed it out. It’s so upsetting.

I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.
Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~

If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can’t believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.
