  • The problem is that “master” means several things. There is Masters degree, master sword, master blacksmith, master copy, all of which have absolutely nothing to do with master / slave.

    The Git “master” terminology came from “master copy”. There’s an email thread online where someone asked Linus Torvalds the origin and this is what he said.

    The whole thing about it being about master / slave was some random uneducated person guessing, and they were wrong.

    I agree that main is simpler and clearer, but it has nothing to do with racism.










  • If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I’d feel the same way.

    If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I’d also feel the same way.

    Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they’re basically doing the opposite of this. They’re supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.

    I fully support being happy about it.





  • If you voted for Harris / Clinton then you’re just giving the DNC more power to push ineffective candidates we didn’t ask for, which is an even greater vote for Trump.

    See? It works both ways.

    If you didn’t vote for Trump, you didn’t vote for Trump.

    The strategy to stop a lot of people from voting for Trump should be campaigning / education. It should not be to push people to vote for someone they don’t want to.
