Here is an ICMP joke,

- Knock Knock

- Who's there?

- Thank you

redmattred•3w ago
If you want to hear a great ICMP joke just ping me
burnt-resistor•3w ago
Failed to shout it loud enough to make an echo. It TTL'ed 3 hops away.

packets udp bar walk a into
kachapopopow•3w ago
ok this might sound crazy, but at first I completely missed the joke because it automatically rearranged the entire sentance into udp packets walked into a bar. I wonder how that works psychologically.

Same here.

You don't read a word at a time... every typical line of text is taken in with 2 or 3 eye focal points and the meaning of each group of words is determined in a single chunk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade#Reading

There are two kinds of people when it comes to UDP.
lucb1e•3w ago
Which are those?

Btw, it reminds me of "10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't"

d34th0rl1f3•3w ago
those who get it, and ...
lucb1e•3w ago
Ah, right! :D
fragmede•3w ago
There are 11 kinds of people that understand binary. Those that understand binary, those that don't understand binary, and those that understand grey code.

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."

"Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

"Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."

"OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke."

"Ok, I will hear a TCP joke."

"Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?"

"Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke."

"Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline."

"Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline."

"I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

Izmaki•3w ago
This one is the only one among the 10+ I browsed through on the website and read in the comments that actually made me laugh. Good one! Thanks for sharing. :)
karmakurtisaani•3w ago
Yeah most of those "jokes" boil down to taking a common programming keyword and using it in a sentence.

I was asked in an interview to explain the difference between TCP and UDP.

I knew about enough to fill an index card: enough for an adequate interview answer, but not enough that I would relish getting follow-up questions.

While deciding what to say I started with this joke. The interviewer laughed and moved on to the next question. I got the job offer.

You can't guarantee delivery of any message. This is the basis of the 2 generals problem.

I can tell you a DNS joke, but be aware that it might take 8 hours for everyone to get it.
cylemons•3w ago

I've updated the joke, refresh on your end.

There's two hard problems in programming. Naming things, cache invalidation and off by one errors.

The great thing about TLS jokes is that you can tell if it's not original.
yencabulator•3w ago
The bad thing about reliable multicast jokes is that you're asked to repeat them.

The wording I use is "I have a great UDP joke I could tell you... but I don't know if you'll get it".
