I would say the opposite. Yes, people have the right to be offended.

But people don’t have a right to NOT be offended. That’s the right that’s being asserted here. You should change something so that I am no longer offended. Well, the fact that one is offended is a struggle that’s personal to them.

Expression and suppression of ideas have been happening ever since the onset of language in human, as far as I can tell. Any explanation that is time dependent, i.e this is happening because of so and so happening currently seems a bit inadequate to me. Any type of "look how crazy the other side is" rhetoric also feels like cliche to me because who am I do decide what's insane and what not?

As for the core of the problem itself, I have no idea what the core of the problem is. Vaguely, it seems that people take a side of issue that's phrased to have two side and they duke it out with the other side. It seem to be part of underlying mechanism of how humans behave because I see similar ideas played out in sports and such.

Maybe the problem isn't any one specific idea but rather how ideas get parsed by our brain. Or maybe I am the one complicating things and it's a simpler idea. But this whole business of right or wrong ideas, sides, values etc seems exhaustive. I'll just wait for someone else to figure it out for me.
It just doesn't really address the substance of the issue. It may well be true that the NYT has no financial choice but pander to the readers who consider non-controversial majority views to be fascist. That doesn't change the problematic effects of such viewpoint narrowing.

> But seriously, what's wrong with using "primary" and "replica" in a database context

Those terms are fine.

The practical argument to change the terms because you think they're clearer isn't a compelling reason to change the terms. But, also, a practical argument doesn't really mix well with the moral argument. (If "master"/"slave" were better understood than alternatives, but agreed to be offensive, would it be better to use those terms?).

I don't see the argument as to being about which terms are best, though. The contention is 'the terms "master"/"slave" are offensive, and should be changed'.

In terms of "what's wrong": this discussion has enough comments in favour of / against the idea to get a sample of what people are disagreeing about. If I understand correctly: "it's a small change to make, that will reduce the exclusion some people feel", and "the terms aren't used in an offensive way, it's not of substantial worth to change it".
From TFA:

> Throughput is the amount of work that comes out of your project by unit of time. It’s up to you to decide what units make sense for your context. Days, weeks, sprints, stories, bugs, epics – anything goes as long as you’re consistent.

Using days/weeks/sprints as your unit of work for determining throughput seems circular. If you want to know how many weeks of work your team can produce per week then you don't need a monte carlo simulation to tell you that.

Using stories/bugs/epics is flawed too, I think. You can have a fantastic model for your team's throughput in stories per week, but that doesn't tell you anything about when the project is going to be done unless you know how many stories there will be. There are two variables here (throughput and quantity) and you can't get useful information out of the product of them for free.

To see why, imagine that you take only the minimum amount of effort to very roughly divide the project into sensible-seeming chunks. In that case, your throughput in chunks per week will be meaningless (i.e. your model will have a confidence window which is uselessly wide) because the chunk division will have barely any relationship at all to the amount of actual work in each chunk. Now imagine that you're a bit more diligent in your project planning and look in a bit more detail at the work that will be involved. You've done some work to clarify what code will need to be written, and your confidence window will narrow accordingly. Now imagine that you're even more diligent. And so on, and so on. You eventually end up with zero error in your model, but in the process you've completely determined what code will need to be written, and the project is finished! Congratulations, you've invented waterfall. There's no free lunch here as the intro paragraphs of the blog post promise.

I assume that in practice you're stopping at some point in the middle of the extremes of doing nothing and planning out every line of code, and then applying your statistical model at that point, but I think you'll still be thwarted by the (at that point) partial disconnect between the chunk divisions and the actual amount of work in each chunk. We've all experienced innocent-seeming tasks that end up consuming vast amounts of time unexpectedly, and various degrees of this phenomenon is what fundamentally ties the amount of error in any pure "stories per week" model to the amount of effort you spend planning and estimating the stories. No free lunch.

Seat tube length only really makes sense for sizing for classic flat top-tube road bikes. It definitely doesn't make sense for aggressively sloped top tubes on carbon MTB and road bikes.

Most vendors these days seem to do Small/Medium/Large (etc) sizing, rather than seat tube measurement. It isn't portable across bikes, but neither would seat-tube length be.

I disagree that standover height has much relationship to fit. There is some practical aspect, especially for newer riders. But you can have a very high standover with a high bottom bracket with similar fit to a lower standover with lower bottom bracket.

My point is that the GP is right, this is survival. They tried to be neutral by publishing an op-ed the other side probably liked. Didn't work and therefore it pushes them more into one camp to survive.
Just a guess based on anecdotal information.
You're right, master/slave and the new blacklist/whitelist demands did not have two years between them, not even this post is two years old.
Trying to steadily liberalize China through foreign exposure is extremely unrealistic. They have an iron grip on all information flow.

The decision to cater to China’s demands is a decision for profit. They need to be excluded from the world internet economy instead of embraced. We have to play their game in reverse. They are huge, but the rest of the world is larger still. We have the power to make this happen if we are willing to stick to our values over profit.
> America was founded by people with high morals and no money.

so slavery is high morals? There's some rose tinted glasses when looking thru history.
To me it seems that's what the discussion boils down to. I agree that words cannot 'control' thoughts fully, but I also agree that Ursula Le Guin didn't argue this at all but rather that the /way/ we use words has an effect on how we think about these concepts, and as such can be used for manipulation. There are plenty of studies that show that saying the same thing in different wording can drastically change how people feel about these things.

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is really popular in the full 'thought-control' kind of way, and I do believe that that is not well supported.

I would augment this by saying "try to have many things in your life that give you meaning and enjoyment". Have some hobbies. Find a charity to get involved in. Have a semi-regular game night with some friends, or join a meetup group. If you're religious, find a religious community to be a part of.

It's very easy to end up with one or two pillars in your life that define it entirely, and that can make things harder when your life has ups and downs. And your life will have ups and downs. If the only thing in your life is your job, and you lose your job -- or are worried about losing your job -- it can really wreck your whole world.

Having a lot of things that are important to you gives you more resiliency. You may still care deeply about each individual part, but when one is going poorly you can at least take solace in and enjoy the parts that are going well.

> not being done to lower the number of prison guard positions.

True, but number of guards and their salaries are surprisingly independent of the number of prisoners. https://www.scstatehouse.gov/CommitteeInfo/HouseLegislativeO... Unions can thus lobby for higher wages or more officers without lobbing for more prisoners. Private prisons on the other hand directly profit on a per inmate basis. As they need to look cost competitive with public prisons they thus need to lobby for more prisoners if they want increased profits. That’s either from more private prisons or more prisoners at existing prisons.

Again I am not saying unions don’t do a lot of lobbying they clearly do for all sorts of things, most recently to stop prisoner transfers during COVID-19 and get more PPE. https://www.thetimes-tribune.com/coronavirus/canaan-federal-... So what I am saying is their don’t focus on increasing the prison population as a primary motivation, thus you need to look at the issues their spending money on. Ex: https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-prison-guard-union-calls...

> You haven’t given any evidence that this is true

CA: As of 2017, the union had 39,750 members

Just one of many examples of a union at the other end of the spectrum: https://mnlabor.wordpress.com/2013/07/20/prison-guards-vote-...

The election makes WACLE the representative for about 5,900 state security and public safety workers, a big chunk of the 22,000 members who belonged to WSEU before Act 10 outlawed most state employee collective bargaining and made union membership voluntary.

PS: Private prisons are recent and growing thing making comparisons even a 10 years ago misses the current reality.
I have worked in finance for some years and have seen plenty of coders in their 50s. As many said, it's not a path for everyone as you do need to keep learning till you retire. I think that as remote work becomes more mainstream, ageism will be less of an issue as you are hidden behind a screen most of the time. People will learn more about who you are from your contributions rather than your physical appearance. In this context, staying relevant is what really matters.

At this point objective truth is buried deep inside the media’s “sphere of deviance” that the media has decided on.

The article cites award-winning journalists being fired for running opinion pieces that a 58-80% of the population agree with (but that the fired editor disagrees with!), or for publishing error-free factual pieces.

It’s not just the press. When people point out the facts don’t support the conclusion or the math doesn’t add up in a COVID story, there’s a 50-50 chance it gets downvoted to oblivion.

>I always question, why does a Black life matter only when a white man takes it?... Like, if a white man takes my life tonight, it’s going to be national news, but if a Black man takes my life, it might not even be spoken of… It’s stuff just like that that I just want in the mix.

Because the dominant media narrative has a fetishized view of violence, racism and victimhood. Combine this with their overarching savior complex. If they were genuinely concerned, they wouldn't silence this man. Logical consistency has no place in this emotionally charged environment. The loudest voices don't care about their hypocrisy. They want to score political points at any cost. Divisive identity politics, feel-good-guilt-projection, blame games, no price is too high when it comes to partisan politics.

I expect this to continue and intensify as we approach the November elections.
I retired at 51. It became very difficult in the later years, primarily because of declining memory capacity. In software, you need to learn new things all the time, about new technology, as well as information about your local projects, which could be huge, some projects are millions of lines of code and hundreds of services, you should remember all that. Only thanks to timely Netflix investment, I was able to retire early and escape the embarrassment.
This is all bad advice for this kid IMO. He's 19 and working as a research assistant, presumably part-time. I did that in college too.

> Isn't that's because of SOX compliance requirements?

Bank always had very strict rules , SOX just force them to formalize those rules/process.

Apart from that , things didn't change much.
It's a bit unclear if you are just trying to express the authors views or your own, but if those are your own views I felt that it warranted a reply.

The concept of "dictatorship of small minority" implies that the only governing principle should be the vote of the majority. But that is a deeply flawed system, if there wasn't any other rule than "majority wins" then all oppression of minorities becomes valid and all abuse where the perpetrators outnumber the victims.

For a system to be fair there must exist more rules than that, for example "respect bodily autonomy" and "no oppression of minorities" and so on. Many of those rules are more fundamental than the "majority wins" rule and more important to uphold.

If those are not your own views: Sorry for the rant.
So I don’t really disagree with the content of your comment, but I still take some sort of issue with the use of fascism lately. I see where the connection is made, but I still think that is a long way off from what was advocated. Even by definition of fascism and what it actually stands for. Having had family members “forcibly disappeared” during Franco’s dictatorship I feel this word is being used ... I’m not even sure, incorrectly? Wrong? Sure the US does something similar but I think that’s where the similarities end. I’m curious more than anything else, honestly, what to you makes that fascist? Maybe I’m wrong and I will gladly admit if I am but the parallels between complete national mobilization and removal of person for the whole doesn’t seem like what he advocated.
Trump is merely the momentary target of the process. The process is dying organizations always go hard left on the way out.

Not an exact answer to your question but there are a lot of things taking more memory than you would think. Today websites contain high res images. Well, you might say, 800KB isn't much. But that is the compressed size. The bitmap data is way bigger. All this data has to be kept in memory.

Both of those have been discussions for much longer than two years. There's at least a decade of discussions around those two examples.

Edit: closer to two decades - in 2003 LA asked electronics manufacturers not to use the language. Presumably this was first discussed by the community. In the mid aughts, Microsoft was using allowlist/deny list.

So, hardly a recent phenomena, and certainly not every two years. Yes, some projects have been faster or slower to adopt replacements for these terms, which is why you have seen a few discussions in the past few weeks on HN.
