| Aug 1, 2020 at 2:15 | comment | added | rwong | Flow control has a different meaning in network communications (regulating the volume or rate of traffic flow per unit of time). During the early days of computing, reusing an existing terminology and injecting new meaning (which, literally, hijacks that term with the new meaning) was seen as appropriate. Nowadays, such practice is frowned upon as it causes confusion across the board. | |
