This. Poor choice of the original name was codified as some law, but it has never been a law and it’s time to clean up. I have seen discussions around the topic: “we have the master branch, what should we store there?” Semantics of the name were lost long time ago and it became just a random magic string in a ritual, which is not easy to explain or understand.
So tired of seeing this. The problem is you don't want to do ANY striping on ANY SMR drives. It's not a ZFS problem. It's not a SMR problem. It's STRIPING on SMR. PERIOD.

Once upon a time people knew what they were talking about. Now everybody's an EXPERT NPC.
Good teams do.

I employ a team of implementation specialists at a B2B SaaS company. We heavily rely on that team to help guide future product development. But you’ll likely need to be able to translate the ask from 1 customer to something applicable to many customers for the product team to really listen.

One other tip for you- our culture is one of transparency with customers. We encourage our implementation team to be on the lookout for “deal breakers”. It’s best to identify those early and get them a refund than to waste weeks/months only to find that one show stopper right before going live.

You’d think that would be the sales team’s job. I did too, until I hired sales people ;).

That is hearsay at best, an intentional strawman at worst. The fact that bitkeeper uses master and slave repositories has no relationship on the meaning of master for git branches.

Git uses origin and clone for repositories.

Yep. I remember jailbreaking the original iPhone (or maybe the 3G) and installing some version of Flash on it for games. My friends all had Sony-Ericssons with some type of mobile Flash player. On the iPhone, Flash content sucked the battery to 0% in about 30 minutes, the phone would get super hot.

Edit: I guess the project to run Flash Lite on Sony-Ericsson was called Project Capuchin? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn5He1Wxl-Q
Back then it was easy to find a license key somewhere. These days it takes more effort to bypass registration requirements etc.

Thus folks in their adolescence got used to the tool and then got stuck and some later paid ...

I don't want to know how many Flash games were made on copies of questionable legality ;)

Where are you getting your information? Compare the mens rea requirements set forth in the New York State Penal Code (§15.05): (quoted in full)

> Culpability; definitions of culpable mental states.

> The following definitions are applicable to this chapter:

> 1. "Intentionally." A person acts intentionally with respect to a result or to conduct described by a statute defining an offense when his conscious objective is to cause such result or to engage in such conduct.

> 2. "Knowingly." A person acts knowingly with respect to conduct or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he is aware that his conduct is of such nature or that such circumstance exists.

> 3. "Recklessly." A person acts recklessly with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he is aware of and consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that disregard thereof constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a reasonable person would observe in the situation. A person who creates such a risk but is unaware thereof solely by reason of voluntary intoxication also acts recklessly with respect thereto.

> 4. "Criminal negligence." A person acts with criminal negligence with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.

As you can see, none of these care whether the person knows that producing the result in question will break the law. This is far and away the norm for mens rea; requirements of knowledge of the law are vanishingly rare.

Note also that these are exactly the same categories as defined by the Model Penal Code. (Strict liability excluded.) The only change is that the word "purposefully" in the MPC was changed to "intentionally". So you're not even right that this is "a definition used in a statute that was never enacted".

Windows 2000, together with Windows ME, was the last Windows version which didn't have WPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Product_Activation), so you didn't have to worry when you upgraded your hardware (not to mention the privacy implications).
These high-growth software companies trade at a multiple of revenue, not earnings (for a variety of reasons), so PE is not a relevant metric. It is growing 170% YoY and had arguably the best quarter in enterprise software history. Not to say the valuation is justified, but given its current growth, outlook for the rest of the year (doubled revenue guidance), and large TAM coupled with how other high-growth software companies (DDOG, CRWD, TWLO, WORK, etc) are trading (at or above all-time-highs), it doesn't seem as crazy. Also, Zoom has been a low beta stock in recent months, which is valuable in most portfolios that are generally beta >=1, especially when markets are volatile.
A more cynical explanation is they're willing to take anyone's money.
Banking isn't as pervasive as you think. There are millions unbanked in the USA. Globally, billions.

The level of OpSec suggested is a necessary minimum against an equivalent of EO6102 whereby the government would attempt to seize your bitcoin, presumably so it can issue its own fractionally backed alternative, purporting to be equivalent in value. Fortunately there's a case in recent history which people are all to familiar with and unlikely to fall for the same trick again. Nobody is going to trade in their bitcoin for another government shitcoin, unless they are forced.

If they don't know you have it, and the only place it is stored is in your head, then they can't seize it, and they have no probable cause to commit violence against you.

Personally, I couldn't care less what everyone else does. I only care that my own bitcoin are safe. I'll happily share my knowledge so that other people can secure their money too, but if they don't care, I can't hold their hands for them.

Pretty sure people will take an interest when the dollar begins to hyperinflate and their 401k becomes worthless.

I'm not sure where you get the impression that the dollar is safe. It's an experimental currency which has been around less than 50 years, and over that time it looks less and less likely to have a long term survival.
Our medium sized company created a simple policy in early 2016 -

No religion - no politics in the office.

I never dreamed that policy would pay dividends so profoundly. The distraction of having activists within your company trying to actively pressure the company via public channels - I mean it's almost unbelievable that this is the new norm. ...an I am so very thankful we seemed to have sidestepped it.
> Yes it is interesting. Most likely not what the lawmakers intended at the time, but the law itself doesn't limit the scope.

There's a section in the majority opinion about this, actually - I would paraphrase it as "it's not surprising that broad outcomes are drawn from laws written in extraordinarily broad terms."
I'm going to need a source for that. I can't find any reference to slave in Bitkeeper documentation.
You can after all just include the images with the email using something like a CID URL.

My older Epson 8350 projector has a feature they call "Lens shift." When setting it up you make sure that it is perpendicular to the screen surface. Then it has two mechanical adjustments to vertically and horizontally shift the image. Page 25 of this user manual shows that it can shift the image vertically up to one image height up or down. And horizontally up to one half image width either way. It makes setup a lot more flexible. I'm not sure how common the feature is though on newer more available projectors.

> Then any way to dismantle the existing

any way? No, and particulary one that, for instance, encourages competitive.burning of power for profit and uses the power demands of a small country to service the transactional needs of a town.

>How much energy is wasted / burned because of our existing monetary policies?

Probably quite a lot. But then they do so much more than cryptocurrency can, so the comparison is nonsense.

"bajillions" being code for "I have no idea at all" renders your argument at the end there pretty moot.
>Wikileaks intent was not to document war crimes, it was seemingly to reveal all state secrets.

That is your opinion but its not the truth. Wikileaks own manifesto states:

WikiLeaks is a multi-national media organization and associated library. It was founded by its publisher Julian Assange in 2006.

WikiLeaks specializes in the analysis and publication of large datasets of censored or otherwise restricted official materials involving war, spying and corruption. It has so far published more than 10 million documents and associated analyses.

War, spying and corruption.

And, that is precisely what it has done: exposed war, spying and corruption.

But those aren't the only things governments want kept secret.
So "You're either with us or against us"? Is that the message?
The best person to answer that question is your future manager.
I sense a bad faith interpretation of the word "offensive."

The issue with master/slave is way more than "it's offensive." By changing the language, people are taking explicit steps to move away from language rooted in racism. That's an important part of moving a culture away from normalization of oppression of minorities.
No, you cannot. They are wrappers of Safari's engine.
What about personal responsibility? It's possible to be realistic and principled at the same time. "Sure someone else will do it, but it damn well won't be me!". If nothing else it's applying friction to the process of whatever you're disagreeing with.

Oh my, then you better not ever venture into the humanities! At least in musicology they spent the past 3 decades wresting free from the idea that evidence of the author's intentions are the only relevant thing.
I am officially too old for this world. Thank you for sharing this.
I don't really understand why this isn't the migration path for any legacy tech... Just containerize and emulate it. If there is a security problem, it's only inside your container. No big deal.
Were those 2% meant at the then-current 0% (or even negative) inflation or adjusted to modern inflation levels that tend to hover between 1 and 2%?

It would still be a massive drain in a world that's trying to cut down its energy footprint. There really isn't such thing as "spare" power when the world burns as much coal and gas as it does right now.

Adding a currency that relies on the competitive waste of power to the mix is a hideous idea.
Let's face reality here: Apple didn't care about the HTML5 standard, they just wanted games to go through their own app store instead of being freely available on the web.

To this day iPhone still doesn't fully support HTML5: you cannot put a game canvas into fullscreen mode on iPhone (all other devices, including iPad, do support this).

And when PWA's became available, they were very slow in supporting Add To HomeScreen. And when they did, nobody knew about it.

So yeah, don't think apple did it to support standards. They did it to keep control within their own appstore.
In slavery, the only correct thing for a master to do is to abdicate power, and it is not wrong for a slave to reject that power relationship.

When people use it for hardware and software, there's a tacit understanding that the power relationship must be preserved.

These two are diametrically opposed.
Sounds like your experience is primarily with data stores then?

It's used correctly in several of the cases listed here. Also, Jenkins uses (or used?) the term correctly.

In other words, this is the stock market equivalent of "hot potato". The retail investors buying on robinhood are doing so because they're betting they wont be the last one holding the chips.

The issue is that this clickbait anxiety is what Facebook et al. are good at anyway.
But investigative reporting has mostly been done by established news orgs. So by losing the news media, we would still have more than enough crappy clickbait articles, but lose the good parts.
Not a good idea since this is all public. There will be spiders that gather usernames of those who switched back to master. It's probably better to just abandon github.
Can I 'assume' that there was a 'row' everywhere that decided to change away from master-type terminology? I could also assume that there was an overwhelming conscensus since they were able to act so quickly on something like this. Both arguments would not be based on any actual fact though.
Indeed, there is very little actual evidence of him having committed crimes in order to function as a publisher - and yet there is massive amounts of evidence of him functioning perfectly well in his capacity as a journalist and a publisher without committing crimes, at all.
Arguably there are less Canadian VCs available locally as well, and therefore they can get away with offering worse conditions.
A little too much outrage for my taste.

Every major HDD manufacturer was found offering SMR. WD was just the first to be held to task because they're so incredibly popular with shuckers.

Seagate SMRs were found before WDs because we only purchased ≥8TB EasyStores, which are unaffected.

For the lines they were supplied under, SMR characteristics don't impede 95% of customers. The rest are small-timers trying to avoid paying for warranties. No one buying Enterprise NAS was affected.

edit: I guess we all decided to disagree by downvote today. Words tomorrow, maybe?
We're out of investment opportunities because the Fed keeps creating new money that immediately fills them rather than letting the market do so. The bond market bailout of a few months ago could and should have instead been funded with existing money, with a corresponding rise in bond rates. Expecting that a steward won't wantonly inflate away the currency is not "entitlement". And to the reality that these institutions are no longer constrained by notions of decency, people will move away to non-corrupt currencies.
>So if I want to sell stock with a registration statement which says, "this is a Ponzi scheme and investors who buy in too late will lose all their money," that should be permissible?

If you make sure that investors are actually aware (e.g., you don't try to bury it in fine print), then I don't see why not, as long it complies with the gambling laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
It will not be broken, it will be just an example for a random branch with a strange name. People which are not able to understand the abstraction and to apply it to their own repository structure, must choose another job.
The master vs main is a good shibboleth as it identifies those who are only interested in making irrelevant performative changes to make themselves feel better
Only if a project has used master as the main branch. We use "develop" for whatever reason and "master" (created by default by gitlab) hasn't updated since initial commit.

I agree that teams should be making these decisions on their own. It's just a branch name.
should probably rename git as well because its derogatory toward unpleasant people. </sarcasm>
I hope gitlab will not follow this trend which is purely PR (pun intented), (if Sytse is reading this thread) , it will give one more reason to love them. As I really do think it's purely short-term thinking.

As other may have said, regardless of where it comes from, most of people now use it with the idea it means "master copy".

Soon:

* git itself is an offensive term and is renamed

* git blame too and is renamed

* grammar nazi can't correct my broken English anymore
(goodwin point <- but how do Jewish people feel about this term ? )

* robot comes from the term robota which mean slaves, but it's okay because that's not English. If it's not offensive in the USA, that's fine i guess ?

And to finish, being of European background, master/slave for me is more linked to the greek cities period.
Over most of the last few decades, most corporations' politics were limited to things like United Way drives, etc. Right or wrong, the situation today is very novel, and we may discover why companies were loath to get involved in this sort of thing in the past.

Personally, I'm finding it a significant distraction in my organization. It does leave me wondering if I shouldn't leave for a more neutral one.
I addressed all of this in my post already. This doesn't support the idea that we should prevent companies from selling stock when they're pursuing bankruptcy. It does support the idea that we should prevent people from taking risks that will likely land them on social support (which does not apply to the 23-year-old scenario above or even the 55-year-old scenario provided the couple had enough in retirement to keep them off of social services). Note also that none of this is incompatible with a licensure program.

I’m thinking Hall’s character on Billions might be more than a Hollywood fantasy.

Getting your hands dirty on behalf of megalomaniac titans of industry can be “just a job” too. What’s the point of being rich, if not to bring CIA-level resources to bear on your personal dramas? Worked for Ghosn.

I doubt it’s personal for the security professionals. In fact I bet they’re rolling their eyes at “the client” when he’s not around. All it takes is one crazy executive.
I did the same but I recall there was a few elements that remained - the windows logo on the start menu was a bit colourful, and a few other bits couldn’t be changed too
My understanding is that New York did adopt a variant of the Model Penal Code, though the United States did not, and neither has any other common-law country. The meaning of Mens Rea is not dictated by the state of New York.
It was a calculated sucker punch at a piece of software which was not designed with mobile or touch experiences in mind and was so tremendously buggy and unstable that it caused all sorts of issues on normal desktop browsers. A lot of people used Flash at the time, but a lot of people were also extremely frustrated with Adobe's apparent disinterest in making it a truly great piece of software. Steve Jobs wanted that mess kept as far away from Apple's shiny new platform as possible -- a completely justifiable stance.

> I always assumed "master" was from audio recording - i.e. a master record.

You are correct (according to the guy who picked master as the name) there https://twitter.com/xpasky/status/1271477451756056577

I think this whole thing has been blown out of context. Master/slave I get, that's a direct correlation to one guy telling everyone else what to do. But the master branch has no say on the other branches. There are no implied slaves or demands.

Going down this road implies any use of the word master in the negative

All that said, I hope they go with trunk. We talk about branches, pruning, and trees yet the "trunk" of the tree is the "master"

How can they not be?
It wouldn't be a problem for me as an individual user either. Whether or not it's a problem for github's long term business model is another question.
I focus on the political side the of the equation. You do you, these actions are a waste of time in my opinion.

Not providing version control isn’t going to stop kids from being locked in cages away from anyone they know. Maybe do things that actively fix that.

Why would you abandon GitHub because of this change? If GitHub is signalling a sympathy for the black lives matter movement with this change, seems to me you're signalling a direct opposition to the idea of making black developers feel more welcome.

Is that your intention?
Wow, all of those instances are ugly, but par for the course when considering US policing and it's allergy to acocuntability.
I think its pretty attractive if it reduces risk on the founder but gives the founder freedom to do whatever they want with the company at whatever time frame.

After experiencing it myself, I think that the push to grow big is a very big deterrent for me to take on VC money. The lifestyle is just not worth it.

Bootstrapping a company from the ground up works if you have the necessary skills and idea, but some ideas need access to capital, especially if they are operationally intensive. So I could see this model being pretty attractive in those situations.
You disagree with a straw-man version of my argument while agreeing with my actual argument :)

There has to be a limit to 'higher standards' humans can live up to, I hope we can agree on that. If you agree, you can't deny that we can't have higher standards indefinitely.

We can have higher standards a little bit and we can fake achieving higher standards a lot by moving highly capable people from one set of jobs to another (from jobs X, Y, Z to police officer by paying them 1 million/year) and doing a marketing campaign that convinces the ignorant masses that real progress has been made.

My previous posts were pointing out that wanting higher standards and not having any standards for the people who create and raise new humans, are incompatible and have to be reconciled if you want to actually have higher standards, not fake higher standards via re-distribution of highly capable people.
This is the model for pretty much every new venture that's 'main street' and not 'VC'. There are many times more main street businesses than tech startups. While it's reasonable to bootstrap a sole proprietorship tech services firm from nothing, restaurants need buildouts, HVAC companies need trucks, retail stores need inventory, etc. Equity is absolutely the most expensive form of financing, but the bank ain't touching your new restaurant concept so there's the equilibrium.
