“Daemon”, for a process that is detached from your terminal

That’s factually incorrect. Daemons are often spawned from “early” processes whose ancestors are not TTYs.

“Cascading Style Sheets”, just to mean that properties can be overridden

This one is really wrong too. But I think his overall point is made clear by other examples. Nomenclature tends toward jargon in software culture.

But that’s true in any field.

No, seriously. Article probably means background processes. Maybe aplies to session-daemons or user-daemons. Other daemons (udev, logrotate) were started long before there was any shell.
