Suez canal blocked by a massive ship

Re:Suez canal blocked by a massive ship by GhostVII on Tuesday March 23, 2021 @08:58PM (#26562278)

In 2016, Prokopowicz and Berg-Andreassen defined a container ship with a capacity of 10,000 to 20,000 TEU as a Very Large Container Ship (VLCS), while that with a capacity greater than 20,000 TEU as an Ultra Large Container Ship (ULCS)

They are gonna run out of larger adjectives pretty soon.

Just call Capcom.

“Super Container Ship II' Hyper Turbo Extra Special Champion Edition HD Remix”.

Btw, there's a similar conundrum with large telescope projects: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26333391

Same with IC size. Started with SSI (Small Scale Integration) then MSI (Medium Scale Integration), LSI (Large Scale Integration) and finally VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) in the early 1980ies. There was some talk of ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration), but thankfully this never caught on.

You forgot “Pro”, which is what makes a variant the bigger one.

I thought Pro meant remove all of the ports, and make it ultra thin

Removing all of the ports could really be a problem for a ship!

Nah, there's a dongle to connect to the dock without a port

Well, you see, the names I listed above are all actual ones used by Capcom.

Samsung at least uses 1 qualifier per device. S21 Plus, S21 Ultra.

Apple's 12 Pro Max, though...

The phone gets so hot, it needs a fan?

While it's not SI yet, they could still use Hella https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hella#SI_prefix

I'm all for Hella Container Ship

Now, hella is just a modifier. Hella Big Container Ship dwarfs Hella Small Excavator

Screen resolutions have not and they are way worse.

Ship sizes can just reuse that replacing “graphics array” with “container ship” e.g. Quad Size Extended Container Ship.

That's been the case for display resolutions for a while as well ... although most of them can probably be parsed by the regex [UWXVQ]+GA.

Well in frequency terminology they’ve still got Super Large, Extremely Large and Terrifically Large left!
