They still hadn’t yet gotten over the shock of someone approving them for credit.

I stopped reading at Dodge in first place.

This. I know a lot of people in large companies (including me) and very few are back in the office yet. Several are planning on having employees work from home for the foreseeable future.

This projected increase in traffic is predicated on the assumption that knowledge workers will return to the office.  At this point, that is not happening.  In fact, now that we have 4 months of largely successful remote working under our collective belts, it is increasingly unlikely that we will return to the same…

Dead on. Here is a prime example:

Definitely can’t hate on that interior. To me this speaks of the good taste and richness Lexus nailed in the late 90s/early 00s.

Screw doing some deep dive into her life, nobody cares about her life or even her specifically. Like the article says, she’s just one example of awful actions out of many.

Here’s the thing though, with “master/slave”, in software at least, it isn’t even the best phrase/concept to use. “main/worker” is typically how I see threads divided, or “primary/secondary”.
Even with those examples though, some secondary/worker threads need to be unique, so they get labeled with their task, like…

anyone can be a slave

I’m not saying this in support or opposition to any specific terms here, but I’m always confused by the guys who try to use etymology as a reason to keep using a word. Language changes, always and forever. Terms can develop new meanings, lose old ones, or change in a million other ways. Just that fact that you have to…

I usually think cluster master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder when I hear those terms.

Agreed that this is stupid and unnecessary. It’s as if they were trying to find controversial things where they don’t exist so they can very publicly fix them and show how sensitive they are. 

this seems unnecessary to me. as far as tech goes, those terms very succinctly describe how things relate to each other, and aside from that, the concepts of “master/slave” transcend race. anyone can be a slave, or control others as a master.

I can agree with some of the justifications but whitelist/blacklist I will never understand. I have yet to see a valid argument since the term is not by nature racist or specifically pointing out the racism in America. I just had a discussion with my wife on how when using these terms in tech it has been more of an…

I always thought of it as this:

None of this is race related. It’s all made up by soft people with no spine, a victim complex (Karens), and are attention seeking. Call it husband/ wife. Who cares? No one with working brains. 

I get master/slave. It isn’t really necessary at all, and more descriptive terms are actually better in most cases.

That’s how I felt as well. Master/slave has felt weird my entire life, but white/light as good and black/dark as bad and scary isn’t strictly race-based, although obviously sometimes it is. That applies to white/black-list, white hat/black hat, etc. I think completely racially homogeneous civilizations had light vs.…

Somewhat similarly, the term “slave” did not originally have racial implications, as it existed before the modern concept of race. It derived from the ethnonym “Slav” (the Indo-European people).

This is interesting, because AFAIK the connotation of “black” being evil and “white” being good far predates the invention of race. So I rather doubt that “whitelist” and “blacklist” were originally intended with any sort of racial implication. (The opposite may be true: those espousing race theory may have selected…
