I for example would never work for someone like Goldman Sachs because my perception is the work/life balance is abysmal. It's a surprise to me that anyone is surprised by this.

I have already commented with something snarky, but in seriousness: Does it it seem to anyone else that the new generation entering the workplace (zoomers?) have wildly different expectations of what it's like vs. the reality? Not nece

Imagine taking a job at Goldman Sachs and thinking it would be a nice, chill place to work.

Well, certainly there is language that is completely inappropriate, imagine what the default branch name _could_ be called if we really were attempting to be non-inclusive. It's very, very clear what language that applies to, however.

This article doesn't explain how "main" is more "inclusive" than "master". I don't agree that it is at all.

Or "robot"/"bot".

It's fine to think "main" or "trunk" or whatever is a better name, it's very easy with git to use a branch with whatever name you like. The issue I and others have (and I appreciate you aren't saying this

Christ, I agree with this article so much it hurts. I am convinced future people will find this whole saga quite an interesting anecdote of how, for a period of time, _appearing_ to be "anti-racist" was far more important than doi

It's a fairly arbitrarily number sure, but I think it could be representative. During the working week I listen to music almost all the working day, when I as commuting that adds on another couple of hours. Even if it's 2 hours a

Let's do some back-of-the-envelop calculations: Let's say people stream for 4 hours a day on average. 4 * 60 = 240 minutes Let's say a song is 3 minutes. 240 / 3 = 80 streams == 80p/day 80p * 30 days per month = 240

The record labels are a bigger problem than Spotify; they set the streaming prices and take a big cut.

Facts aren't racist, your intent and your construction of the "fact" can be. Example: Black men make up the largest group of prisoners in the US. If you are discussing criminal justice reform it's probably not racist to

It is not an attachment to the words themselves it is a reaction to the idea that words have some kind of implied sinister meaning outside of the context in which they are used. And yes, I use the word "sinister" deliberately - wh

What would your response be if someone came along and said "binary" is not an appropriate word for compiled artefacts because some people do not identify as a man or a woman? What would your response be if someone came along and s

I hadn't seen that "sanity check" and "dummy value" were being replaced too until I see this comment. I am _dumbfounded_. But I suppose we will have to replace that word too. Jfc.

Words have different meanings in different contexts, to "floss" could be a dental hygiene procedure or it could be performing a particular dance. It is simply not the same to refer to a "master branch" as it is to a &qu

I do not agree with the premise that these words in context are problematic, many others do not agree with it either.

I can get onboard with master/slave when used in conjunction. But the etymology of "blacklist" so far as I know and can Google is not to do with race and it's use and understood meaning is not to do with race. How then c

It's a very common misconception, there is no requirement for Scottish banknotes to be accepted as payment anywhere in the UK (including Scotland!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_pound_sterlin...

There is no such thing as "defacto" legal tender. By definition only legal tender must be accepted as a form of payment - you can choose to accept something else but you don't have to.

by 3saryHg6LP2e 7y ago
I mean they are not "not technically" legal tender, they are not legal tender and that is why you have problems with them being accepted (because they don't have to be!)
