Top Forums Programming Exact meaning of the "world" in "hello world" Post 302611553 by Eugene Muzychen on Friday 23rd of March 2012 04:04:30 AM

I understand that this is just a short string. I'm a software developer myself. Smilie

My question is about how to correctly translate the "hello world" to Russian. Not only a computer message but the typical meaning of the phrase.

If somebody says "hello world", whom this greeting is most probably directed to? To only people (humans) or to the whole Earth or even Universe?

I'm not a native English-speaking man so it's not obvious for me.

NAME
subscriptions - Default recommended subscriptions DESCRIPTION
The pathetc/subscriptions file contains a list of newsgroups that is returned by the NNTP command LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS. Clients that support this command and send it the first time they connect to a new news server use the returned list to initialize the list of subscribed newsgroups. The subscriptions file therefore should contain groups intented for new users, for testing, or that contain FAQs and other useful information for first-time Usenet users. The syntax of the subscriptions file is trivial; it is a simple list of newsgroup names, one per line. The order of newsgroups may be sig- nificant; the news reading client may present the groups in that order to the user. EXAMPLE
A typical subscriptions file may look like: news.announce.newusers news.newusers.questions local.test local.general local.talk misc.test misc.test.moderated news.answers news.announce.newgroups This gives the client the FAQs and question newsgroup for new users first, then a local newsgroup for testing and various commonly-read local discussion groups, followed by the world-wide test groups, all the FAQs, and announcements of new world-wide newsgroups. If there is a local new users group, one might want to list it first. HISTORY
