 @koronkebitch i suspect more an analogy like a visitor register - the book that stores the information  @dysfun @koronkebitch @hipsterelectron I assume it's because modern computing developed out of the idea of the "register machine" but i don't know how those folks decided on the word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_machine  @adrienne @dysfun @koronkebitch how the hell does this article have no history section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_register |
@koronkebitch i also think of linguistic registers
