The "first" branch originating from the object cache is calledĪnd Linus is discussing a hypothetical repo mirroring scenario which is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Take the original comment that xpasky linked and consider the meaning in context Insinuating that he meant something else than he actually said due to familiarity with the English language is extremely condescending to non-native speakers- it's not a good look.
He said that it's possible that it was influenced by BK but you read it as if he said he absolutely was. Short version: he was influenced by what BK did but it was a long time ago and his familiarity with American English was somewhat limited.Īgain, you're misrepresenting it. No, I didn’t miss that but there was more to it. Your energy for positive change has better uses than getting on a bandwagon opinion pushed by white people to feel better about themselves. So sit on a chair for a bit and truly think about why you think this would ever be either A) a good idea where the positives outweigh the negatives or B) helps the cause it claims to help in any way.
#GIT CLONE BRANCH FROM REMOTE SOFTWARE#
This software was developed by BitMover and none of the founders of that old company commented on this topic either. Git was based on/inspired by BitKeeper and used the same naming. Git is invented by Linus Torvald who has not voiced an opinion on this. The only real variable is on the axis "weird but don't really care" to "you have officially lost your mind".Īnd "the guy" that "says" he picked the original names lied to you or was fabricated by you. I'll let you do the math on how high in the 90%-100% range that is. Actually, I quick count of the original post and all direct replies to it show a total of 41 out of 448 supportive responses. You may disagree with that majority but it is empirically speaking, a majority. Even on Twitter, by far the most echo chamber sensitive social network out there, the overwhelming response to the original OP and the various official replies is negative.
There is no larger community that is pushing for this.
#GIT CLONE BRANCH FROM REMOTE PROFESSIONAL#
Honestly, of all the possible professional groups developers are pretty low on the "likely to be uneducated and/or racist" leaderboard.Īnd you're doing what the minority keeps doing to sway public opinion, namely begin any rebuttal with accusations and end it with falsehoods under the assumption nobody fact checks them. A tiny minority has the former view.Īnd let's call oranges oranges here, the few people that are actively pushing this on Twitter (I searched, only 3 verified accounts) are part of that tiny subsection of the developer community that seem entirely more occupied with pushing their social (justice) agendas than anything related to actual development practices or developer culture. On every social platform or forum this came up an OVERWHELMING majority thinks this is pandering virtue signaling that does not further the cause to combat racism at all. "Some detractors claim that the term is used more broadly and." "Many critics have pointed out that the term can be painful for." But what really grinds my gears is that every article reads like this : It appears to be a ridiculous proposition to begin with. Not sure how using the terms master and slave in hard drives teaches people the history of slavery You're either a.) looking for an excuse to cause trouble or b.) sincerely "triggered" and as such, you need therapy for the trauma to help you with this.
I suppose my core point is: If you think of slavery when we're talking about jumper settings - clearly your mind isn't on what's going on. It's hard to talk about master/slave without thinking of the connotations which are a bit grim, I think anyone who does, and demands the team change their name, genuinely needs therapy for trauma they suffered, whatever that trauma may be. I don't think of a heart pace maker when I think of the basketball team. I know of a Basketball team named the Pacers. If you think of slavery, human slavery, when you see a jumper setting a hard drive for master/slave - then you really need help. If that person has a living relative and/or personal experience with slavery - then sure, maybe, but if after therapy for it they still feel that way then I'll agree.īut to ask the world to change for you for trauma you didn't experience, in any capacity, is manipulative.
