OMG this took me way too long to get. They replace the substring "ass" ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

and "arse", as seen in charset

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I have a friend that works at Salesforce, he told me that they made him change the name of some classes that used the term Blacklist because of inclusivity

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This kind of thing is infuriating. Especially when the actual etymology of "blacklist" is a 17th century play where a list of nobles scheming against the British monarchy is described as a blacklist.

But the word black is used so clearly it's racist, right? How can we be woke if we don't randomly ban words because of their alternate meanings?

My previous workplace did the same thing around 2020 with the words whitelist and blacklist and some other words.

It was around the same time when there was news about GitHub moving from master to main/mainline as the default Git branch.

clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]

I am in doubt. That wouldn't even compile. But who am I to think somebody changing something like this would actually do a test compilation afterwards....

HTML isn't compiled, and unknown attributes are allowed. The best practice is to prefix non-standard attributes with data- (e.g. <div data-foo="test">) but nothing enforces that. Custom attributes can be retrieved in JavaScript or targeted in CSS rules.

Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The ol' master/ slave configuration again....

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

those are terms, this is substrings within words

I haven't seen branches or variables being called arse

Then again, I do like to catch exceptions as up so I can throw up

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

At least for that we have replacement names that make sense (like primary and secondary or replica).
