* Failed when looking up NIH (not invented here)

Hmm. Would you mind devoting the rest of your life to making this dictionary comprehensive, and keeping it updated?

Slightly smaller request: could you make it possible to select and copy the definitions?

  • jurajstefanic 2 days ago

    I’ll do my best to keep it updated regularly! I’ve added the copy functionality now to each definition entry - no need for that extra step of selecting!

    • card_zero 2 days ago

      Well, I didn't want to copy the whole thing, I wanted to select and copy it myself, as is standard and expected. I don't want a handy search button that sends me to google, either, since I don't use google. If you keep on helping me to do things I didn't want to, I'll have a user experience.

      You may want to wholesale import The Jargon File. Badly out of date at this point, but surprisingly relevant and of more than moderate value as a historical reference.

      :root body { user-select: auto; }
    
    Slap this in a userstyle, and it'll override lines 545–546 of the stylesheet, restoring the expected behaviour.

Great work. Love the austere style.

Nit: don't think you need to prefix "database" with "searchable". If it's a DB, searchability is implied.

Love the neo-brutalism look. What do you think about crowd-sourcing the glossary or creating a submission form for new terms?

  • jurajstefanic 2 days ago

    Thanks! Added a submission form for the new words and definitions (also in the neo-brutalism style).

    As for crowd-sourcing the glossary, that is also planned. I just need to structure the existing entries first, and it's good to go! It will be published as part of the GitHub repository.

This is great. Thanks for this.

The only thing I'm missing is the automatic dark mode (respecting operating system's dark/light theme). If you want I could add that in a pull request.

  • jurajstefanic 2 days ago

    Thanks! Great suggestion. Feel free to open a pull request and add it.

The first three words that got into my mind (kernel, Linux, operating system) were not here. I guess this is for another sector of IT?

I couldn't find anything that I put there: DRY, RBAC, Duck(-typing), Liskov, b-tree

  • jurajstefanic a day ago

    Added! If you happen to think of any more, you can use the contribution form to submit them.

Maybe consider adding a highlight to the search term in the (filtered) text.

Doesn't seem to have "RTFM" (Read The Fucking/Friendly Manual)

  • redeux 2 days ago

    That was the first thing I searched for too

Are those definitions LLM generated?

Cool!

nit: you've got a casing mismatch between Devops and DevOps
