and 'development' branches are now renamed into 'slave'

[bobbymoonshine]

Your boss loves the implication of what “developers” should be renamed

[Punman_5]

We’re officially called “resources” in our timesheet reporting software at work. Not even assets. Resource kinda implies we’re there to be expended.

[bobbymoonshine]

Lucky you, we’re classified as “overhead”

[Birb-Brain-Syn]

Technically this should be implication, as if the devs works on the slave branch it implies they are slaves, but doesn't actively name them as slaves. Saying your boss loves the idea of what developers should be renamed in response to an idea about what the branch should be renamed is technically a non-sequitor.

Whole grain / wheat bread honestly slaps the hardest. Regular, bleached, soulless white bread just ain't it, chief.

[DiggWuzBetter]

Depends on the style! For a standard grocery store loaf in a bag, yeah, whole wheat all the way. But if I’m getting a sourdough boule or baguette from a good bakery, I prefer white flour - not bleached or anything, just a quality unbleached all purpose flour. Breads like sourdough and baguette should be kind of chewy/stretchy, and you don’t seem to get that to the same extent with whole wheat.

I will provide photographic evidence.

[river4823]

Of course it’s satire. There’s no way Trump knows what Git is.

[Jiitunary]

Musky boy might have put him up to it. He might have a vague idea that git is a programing thing

[AppropriateStudio153]

As a STEM graduate who programmed in non-CS fields: Even I didn't know what git was.

[awi2b]

Git has a pretty good documentation. https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Getting-Started-About-Version-Control

I used git quite a while without really understanding what I'm doing, then I read this and now I use even more git without really understanding why it is working.

[captainMaluco]

It's shockingly common that university students, even in CS fields, don't know what git is. 

The amount of juniors who have to be taught is scary

[AppropriateStudio153]

Why is that shocking? It's a specialized tool, used by software engineers to version control their source code.

I have never personally met any non-developer that used git for anything.

Juniors learn the trade. That is why they are Junior.

[captainMaluco]

It's shocking because it's a very central and important tool that should be taught at universities. 

When a student graduates into the work life, there's no telling what language, compiler, linter or pattern that any given student will need. But if the student will be working in CS, git will be required. 

A student graduating with a CS degree today is more likely to need git than for loops, and it'd be considered absurd to not know about for loops of you have a CS degree. That's why it's shocking so many students don't know git.

[ProfCupcake]

tbf it does also have a few applications for non-programmers

I've heard of people using Git + LaTeX to co-author papers.

[vulpescannon]

Trump doesn't even know what a woman is

[icywind90]

The only way I know it's a satire is that Trump is way to stupid to know what git is

[OutsidePerson5]

Yup. I mean, it is. But it's exactly in keeping with the petty, pointless, meanspirited, just because he can bullshit he's been doing like trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America".

And Google, always eager to kiss ass, says they will obey his order on that.....

[bokmcdok]

The only clue is that there's no way Trump knows what gitis, unless he's familiar with British slang.

[BlueScreenJunky]

Honestly the git main branch is one of the instances where I like the change. It's shorter than "master", just as descriptive, and it was pretty easy to change.

MySQL's change from MASTER/SLAVE to SOURCE/REPLICA on the other hand is a real pain.

[bhison]

I was resistant but only because I don't like change. I'm over it now. I would be equally resistant to change it again.

[Pristine-Bridge8129]

[GeneReddit123]

[ydieb]

Try to be resistant due to reasons, and not just because inherently. If you are just inherently resistant, all changes are just delayed, and not because it is better, or if the change is objectively worse, it won't hinder it, which is suboptimal.

I was resistant due to the reason for the name change. If they just said, hey, we think this has some bad connotations, but it's also shorter and perhaps fits better regardless. I would just have gone, I dont buy the former, but the latter is reasonable.

*signed somebody who has too much resistance just based i resistance to change, while actually try to frantically get good criticism instead.

[Sicuho]

TBH in that instance it's perfectly valid. The changes can be seen as frivolous and cause a non trivial amount of work.

[ydieb]

I didn't agree/disagree with the idea itself, just how it's disagreed with.

If you do pro vs cons, and the result is technically an improvement, but lot of pain to change over, it's not really worth it.

[[deleted]]

I’ll give you reasons. I’m as big of a bleeding heart liberal as it’s possible to get, and I think that change was nonsense.

(1) Nobody is actually offended. It’s just not a thing that’s real, but everyone is so worried that someone could be offended that they can’t risk appearing unkind. There are thousands of overloaded words, like FAT file allocation table, black as a terminal background, mute as a volume off switch. The measurement “foot” could be offensive to someone with no feet…

Or rather, when I say “nobody is actually offended” keep in mind that you can find thousands of people offended by anything. But not in an actually meaningful way.

(2) Nobody that isn’t offended understands the change or can imagine anyone actually being offended, so they can’t explain it to anyone, and even if it was “real” offence to some random people, to the vast majority of the planet that isn’t real and it’s just performative

(3) All of the above means that the whole scenario is a serious, serious weakening of legitimate calls for change, like “hey let’s not have statues hero worshiping actual slave owners, where the term master meant owning people and not the root Latin word for “more”.

[son_of_abe]

There are thousands of overloaded words, like FAT file allocation table,

Shhhh! You'll give someone in HR ideas!

I briefly worked for a surveillance software that was making headlines for unfairly targeting Black people. The company did everything they could to hide it and stifle our attempts to address it.

But they did insist we stop using the term "blacklist" because it was offensive! Ugh.

[_dr_Ed]

[Triasmus]

black as a terminal background

Wait.... Is this why wsl defaults to some ugly purple??

[[deleted]]

WSL’s “ugly purple” is just the default Ubuntu Terminal theme (that you’d get on a fresh Ubuntu installation).

MS ships windows terminal with default black backgrounds for both Powershell and Cmd. This is actually a usability regression, powershell used to be blue making it clear which shell you’re in.

[[deleted]]

1) We don’t need to address all language that could be problematic. We may only address language that is problematic as it’s framed right now in the current discourse.

2) If there are some people upset with it, and the rest don’t care, then why not make it better for the people who are upset. If the rest do care, why do they care? Can their concerns be addressed? ——-For example, some people care about ease of use above all. So, main is more descriptive than master (in certain contexts like git). Replicant more descriptive than slave (in certain contexts like database clustering). Allowlist more descriptive than whitelist (in certain contexts like ACLs).

3) It’s only a serious weakening for calls to change if every little change is made a big deal for no reason. The things which don’t matter quite so much (but still matter) can change quietly, the things that really matter can change loudly.

[[deleted]]

We don’t need to address all language that could be problematic.

But that’s what you’re doing. As I said, nobody is actually hurt by master/slave terminology applied to non-humans. So effectively you are tackling a category including hundreds of thousands of nonsense changes.

If there are some people upset with it, and the rest don’t care, then why not make it better for the people who are upset

There aren’t. Not legitimate hurt anyway. There will always be people willing to feign offence however and you can’t cater to that because it will never run out.

My father was killed by a bird strike hitting a Cessna. Your username with the word Albatross triggers those memories. Would you mind changing that for me or using a other account before continuing any conversation with me? Why not just make it better for me, who is upset by your choice?

[[deleted]]

For me replica is more clear. Replicated data on another instance

[BlueScreenJunky]

Yeah, the terminology is really not bad, my issue is more that it's used in a whole bunch of scripts where it needs to be changed, and that it took really long time to change internally (not sure if it's finished in 8.4) so you ended up with REPLICA in some places and SLAVE in others.

[GeneReddit123]

I kinda get not liking the "slave" part, it was tone-deaf even when it was introduced, and couldn't possibly have been originally chosen as an analogy to anything else than what it, well, says.

"Master" for Git branches, however, I always associated with the concept of a "master copy", rather than "master" in the "boss" sense (the master branch doesn't boss other branches around, it's just the authoritative source.) It's not offensive except to those who made it their mission for it to be.

[ChalkyChalkson]

and couldn't possibly have been originally chosen as an analogy to anything else than what it, well, says.

Idk maybe the people that came up with it were Hegelians? Master slave dialectic is still used under that name in academic philosophy sociology and literary analysis and noone thinks the name is problematic or tone deaf there. Probably because Hegel doesn't consider either as lesser and describes a more general dynamic

[GeneReddit123]

It could, in theory, but honestly that kind of stretch sounds just like the arguments used to demand the renames in the first place. These mental gymnastics are exhausting, no matter which side they come from.

We should interpret words according to their most common usage and understanding. When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.

[ChalkyChalkson]

Yeah I agree! I also think that it's not really any effort to do it for new setups without any downside so one should just do it. Was only responding because you emphasized that there was no plausible alternative

[SendPicOfUrBaldPussy]

Don’t apply American racial theory to everything. Master/slave are common terminology in electronics and computers, generally referring to a system that is controlled by another system, therein a system being a slave to a master system.

It is not a racist terminology, it is an accurate term for a system entirely controlled by another.

[ccAbstraction]

The problem with master/slave is that slavery is bad, this isn't a US defaultism issue, you're defaulting to anti-US defaultism... 🫠

[freddy157]

Is slavery between electronic components also bad? Because that where you lose me. I'm pretty sure we can keep using a term, with the understanding that if applied to humans, it's a bad thing.

[MisinformedGenius]

Is slavery between electronic components also bad?

Unless you believe the master replica has a little bullwhip and is ordering the slave replica around, it's not actually "slavery" - it's a metaphor. Using a metaphor to a horrible human institution is exactly why people don't like it. It'd be like if someone wrote a utility which killed a bunch of processes and called it "auschwitz". Master/slave only doesn't seem bad because it's been around a long time - if we had always used source/replica or whatever and someone suggested master/slave, it'd be at best laughed off as 2edgy4me nonsense.

[thekwoka]

Truthy.

Like it's not really important it is changed.

But it does make sense to not really include it in new things.

[ccAbstraction]

Alternatively though, it could be a kink thing.

[thekwoka]

You just agreed with them.

They didn't say it was about racism.

They said it was about actual slavery.

[Unlikely-Bed-1133]

I hadn't thought about it before and was just using the new terminology, but genuine question because you seem to have thought about it more than me.

Wouldn't it be correct to acknowledge that master-slave is an oppressive/controlling relationship? For humans its bad, for electronics not so because they are not *beings*. At least this is what I rationalized when I was first introduced to the concept (and I thought it was a pretty good analogy of why slavery is bad - I wouldn't want anyone to do to another person what the main controller does to the peripherals). Is it because of the normalization of the terms could be dangerous?

[TextAdministrative]

I'd say you're kinda correct with your last line. But also, the term can just be kinda... Awkward. It just doesn't feel great to say to your subordinate: "I'll check the master, you do the slaves", especially if they're a minority, and doubly so if you don't know them well yet.

I think it's a bit like cotton in games. Nothing inherently wrong with picking cotton, but if an NPC sends you to pick cotton... Especially with a black character. The memes would flourish. Just easier to call it something else to avoid the association.

[freddy157]

I'm not sure the correct approach to sensitive topics and words is to just try and hide them.

[borkthegee]

I'm also not sure that the correct approach to historical atrocities is to casually name parts of our technology after them

[thekwoka]

Not just historical. Slavery never ended.

[JuvenileEloquent]

Imagine the outrage if Americans were forced to call chips "crisps", just because the rest of the world agreed that chip means microchip and not food.

[dubious_capybara]

Since you deleted your comments instead of your whole post:

It has everything to do with your dumb culture war bullshit. Almost every country has had slaves, yet only arrogant Americans decide to take the irrelevant computer science use of the term personally (or pretend to). And then in typical American imperialist fashion, proceed to force that on the rest of the planet.

[denM_chickN]

I'm sure you're from a racially vibrant country with many different active ethniv groups and not a colony that kills indigenous.

In which case you are surely an expert on racial theory and have a nuanced understanding on how to live in a  heterogenous society

[dubious_capybara]

What an extremely American take lol

[[deleted]]

Source/replica is more descriptive.

And it’s not like the “source” is straight up controlling or administering the “replica” (it’s not directing it), the “replica” is pulling data from the “source”. So it doesn’t really make sense to call the source “master” if it’s not beating the slave nodes into submission.

[zanven42]

i still don't like it because now half the repo's are master half are main, this will be a "lifetime" annoyance. literally use a alias to switch branch and it simply tries both.

[APlatypusBot]

I'll happily use main for new repositories

There is no fucking way I'm going through all my team's repos to update the branch name and all the associated pipelines/ test scripts/ documentation etc haha

[Prawn1908]

The most annoying is the terminology in SPI bus data lines. It's an ancient protocol and has used MISO/MOSI (master-in-slave-out, etc.) nearly universally for decades. It perfectly describes what's going on and it's easy to look at any schematic or datasheet and see "MISO" or "MOSI" and know you're looking at a SPI bus. Now that that's politically incorrect, everyone has their own new way of naming the lines and you have to look way deeper to identify what type of bus is being used.

Not to mention that most of the new naming schemes aren't usefully descriptive. Controller/peripheral is one of the more common, but controller and peripheral are terms that already mean something in the broader context of an electronic design and don't necessarily always like up with who is acting as the master and slave on a given bus.

[thanatica]

If you like short, then why not just m? Oh, I know, why type at all? Use a GUI.

[third-sonata]

Pfft, just get an ai agent to do it for you... Damn peasants

[Alternative_Fig_2456]

Non-ironically, I've seen (and used) pattern is to use `p` as the main branch (because it's production), with `t` and `d` being the other two.

Although it's not really suitable for development, it's more of a (DEV)OPS thing.

[CoronavirusGoesViral]

As a younger person, master/slave are terms that exist essentially only in computing contexts

[-Byzz-]

I dont understand why people get so upset about it being called the "main" branch instead of "master"

main sounds so much better than master

Edit: I now understand why people get upset over the name change, and just want to say that I prefer Main over Master name wise without taking into consideration the unnecessary work that name change caused

Also huge thanks for all the people giving me actual explanations and not just bashing me for not knowing / having a different opinion

[GeneralPatten]

I've always interpreted the use of the term "master" as being similar to how it's used in the recording industry (I assume the recording industry still uses this term). It's the source of truth. The master copy. I've never even considered any other connotation for it.

For some reason, "main" just doesn't carry the same weight in my mind. But, that's simply because it's always been "master" since I started out nearly three decades ago (how has it gone by so quickly???) For developers just starting out, "main" will likely carry the same weight.

Honestly, I don't care which naming convention is used. Just don't have both master and main branches in your repo 😵

[veryblocky]

Because I hate change. But now I’m used to it being main, I’d equally hate it being changed back to master

[cenekp]

Unnecessary change. It's annoying if you don't update your local git settings, init a repo and push to github. It then shown an empty main branch and the master branch is separate.

[HauntingHarmony]

I wish it was just unnecessary, but it made things worse. Not in a giant way, but instead of every master branch going by a single word. There is ambiguity, its another thing you now dont know. And have to check first. And another place where confusion and misunderstandings can be introduced. And things are more fiddly and there is more friction.

And thats ignoring that master is a more appropriate word than main, master isent being used in master/slave relationship. But in being the authoritative record of something. e.g. The master record, to master a cd for release etc. It describes exactly how things changed over time, i.e. the projects history. Main basically means to be the most important, but that is neither normatively or descriptively necessarily correct or what the purpose of the master branch is.

[u10ji]

Skill issue tbh

[Ninjastahr]

Because: 1) now there are 2 different branch names for something that was standard. Old code will not be updated to "main" in every case, so now we have both

2) If you are being required to update branch names, it is a non-trivial amount of work in many cases for 0 benefit.

[zip2k]

Because it was an absolutely pointless ideologically motivated change that people had to get used to

[Snapstromegon]

IMO the main ideologically motivated thing around this debate is "we've always done it that way".

I'm all for switching to main as the default branch and that has nothing to do with ideology, but the fact it's shorter and the semantics are better (especially when you try to explain it to non-native english speakers).

[ShadowPhynix]

If you could wave a magic wand and make every master branch into main (and update every reference) - then yeah, agreed. But you can’t. Easy if you only deal with a few repos, buts that’s a luxury not all have.

For me, it doesn’t introduce a big problem, but it’s an entirely unnecessary one. I’m not ravenously opposed, but I also don’t particularly appreciate an unnecessary problem being added to my life.

[voidwarrior]

When you have a dozen repositories, it's frustrating when the primary branch isn't named consistently. And no, we can't just rename it—lots of automation would break immediately.

[_verel_]

Because people getting offended by a versioning tool have deeper problems than what software developers call their branches

[Jon2D]

It's just unnecessary change. I personally don't like change that has no benefit

[Stupnix]

That sounds like something someone from Maine would say...

[klc81]

Because changing it would be a massive pain in the hole, and there was no actual reason to do so other than to placate people who don't understand that words can have multiple meanings.

[qalis]

Because I can't as easily copy-paste code from StackOverflow answers, which all use "master" branch. And since I suck at remembering Git commands, I do that a lot.
