Is there a canonical Assembly term for instructions or operands that are dependent on the byte offset of the instruction within the assembled/encoded output (ex: jmps to labels or RIP-relative operands)? Is Position-Dependent-Instruction a thing?

What is the opposite of a rule-based scanner (i.e. takes an input value and returns discovered output values)? What do you call that? A value-based scanner? Is there a Wikipedia page listing the various categories/classifications of security scanners?

Thanks for the help ref https://fediscience.org/@sbrl/113726310893898548, Fediverse ! I thought I'd do a poll of some of the suggestions.

Vote will decide the name, tho I will have the final say o/

HELP ME Fediverse ! I need a name for an open source project I'm working on. Please suggest anything in comments! I'm kinda stumped.

It's a self-hosted AI-enhanced image search engine - see rough design sketches attached.

---------

The Plan™:

Basically it'll index all images in a given directory with 2 mechanisms:

1. Exif / meta data + filepaths
2. AI (currently CLIP) embeddings → vector DB

....then there'll be a web interface that lets you enter search terms & filter by various things like filename, exif fields, etc

Quite early in development, but got the embedding worker done today!

Aim is for it to run comfortably on a Raspberry Pi 4 that also has other things running on it.

Still to do:

- Web interface
- Exif indexer
- Quantise CLIP etc for lower resource usage, go looking for better models
- Open source the code, but need a name for the project first!
- Lotsa stuff I forget

Tech:
- Node.js (pure JS libraries where possible)
- VectorDB: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hnsw (potential issue: this is in-memory or IndexedDB)
- Exif DB: https://www.npmjs.com/package/njodb ('cause I hate working with databases 'cause they're boring - sql ESP)
- Python worker 4 embedding/AI stuff: PyTorch, CLIP

What's a more understandable name for a regular expression that matches floating point numbers in text?

What do you call the individual numbers or parts of a version number (ex: 1.2.3.beta3)?

When you refer to a UNIX/Linux/macOS/BSD or sh/bash/zsh command payload, what do you common refer to them as?

How would you group Windows cmd.exe command payloads in a directory structure of other payloads?

#ProgressiveWebApps (#PWAs) can act as a #shareTarget for other #apps on #Android.

So when I added this feature to my app, it seemed fine to call the url `/share`.

And when I saved them to the #database I just went with it and named the table `shares`.

But here's the thing; I have my app installed on my phone too. I use the `share` feature to "post" to my website.

So, now my posts go in the `shares` table.

What is the canonical attribute name that you'd recognize for the remote IP and port that sent an HTTP request to a server. Rack and async-http have different naming conventions, and I'd like to pick the most recognizable naming convention for my Value object which represents an HTTP request.

Naming things is hard. #namingThings

Is there some kind of defacto terminology for enqueueing a message into an input message queue vs. enqueueing it into an output message queue? I feel like you'd use `enqueue_mesg` for input messages and `send_mesg` for output messages.
