Editing Talk:1833: Code Quality 3

<!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~-->

I think the FORTH in the title text also references the CIA statue, which is a cryptogram with 3 parts solved and the fourth part remains unsolved. Possibly also the date May fourth, which was a popular topic on reddit because of Star Wars (and because this comic was posted just after May 4).

No. Unlike the computer on which the Forth language was developed, comics allow words with more than 5 letters to be used, so if it was a reference to these it would have been spelled 'Fourth'. The programming language would also have been spelled that way if Chuck Moore had had a decent computer (but maybe then he wouldn't have invented the language). He reckoned it was a fourth-generation language, superseding third-gen languages like C or Pascal. We all have blind spots about the potential of our pet projects. Or kids.

I know Elonka (the CIA Kryptos expert), and I think she'd disagree. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.54.58|172.68.54.58]] 15:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Please describe JSON table.  Apparently it's some type of programming language that is so popular that Google can't find a definition among all the examples.--[[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.21|162.158.62.21]] 17:11, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Could the reference to "tactical" flashlights be a dig at the current practice of taking a standard flashlight and adding things like crenelated bezels, high-powered LEDs, multiple flashing modes, heavy casings etc.? "Tactical" has turned into a nearly meaningless advertising buzzword, as a current search on Amazon ([https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22tactical+flashlight%22&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A%22tactical+flashlight%22 "tactical flashlight"]) turns up over 20,000 listings.[[User:These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For|These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For]] ([[User talk:These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For|talk]]) 03:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Does the timing of Halley's comet meteor shower apply to the last panel?

As I review this series of comics, I really wonder if the text is intended to be set to music, and if so what pop song it scans against. Any takers? [[User:JohnHawkinson|JohnHawkinson]] ([[User talk:JohnHawkinson|talk]]) 06:13, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

−	I believe this comic strip is a reference to the Deadpool movie, in which the main character, Wade, is given a battery of insults by his best friend. If you look at the behind the scenes footage, you will see that the person giving the insults actually has a much longer barrage of insults before Deadpool ultimately states his impatience, and that the list of insults was actually quite enough as-is. Watch it and you will see the similarities.[[Special:Contributions/172.68.146.14\|172.68.146.14]] 10:51, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
