Here we have another day, and with it a whole series of strange oddities that are starting to mushroom like mushrooms after the rain due to the protests in the United States. If you missed any more detailed information, or if you have been living in a cave for the past few weeks, we will put you in the situation. Right after the death of the African-American George Floyd, massive, often violent demonstrations broke out, which have been going on for weeks and often result in some skirmishes with the police. To this was added looting, arson, attacks on white citizens and other violence in many cities, which logically should be mitigated by the intervention of higher institutions. But instead, statesmen and companies give way to the protesters and try to right the wrongs of the past by actively remaking existing structures and systems. One of the victims is programming terms that Twitter has labeled as racist and intends to change them to a slightly less outrageous alternative.
ProThe grammar community often resorts to terms like blacklist, or the type of relative relationship master and slave. Although these established terms have been used for decades and no one has even remotely thought of changing them or, God forbid, calling them racist, the media giant Twitter sees it differently and wants to take action against these controversial terms. However, these are not the only items on the list; the company has also published a whole list of terms that must be changed and banned. Of course, it has also come up with alternatives to eliminate the existing terms. Instead of blacklist, the banned list, the denylist will now be used, and instead of the master/slave pair, leader and follower are considered. The changes will not only affect the code itself and its structure, but also the documentation and associated manuals. ProHowever, the transformation process is likely to cost millions of dollars and take months, according to experts. Changing key communication between employeesancIt is not easy, and in some cases it is even impossible.

Twitter announced its intention on its technical account, where it issued an official statement discussing the fact that the current programming terms do not correspond to the principles of inclusive language and undermine the values that the company has. After all, this is not the first and probably not the last large corporation to resort to such bizarre things. Similar tactics have also been chosen by the investment bank JPMorgan, the GitHub server, where programmers upload their codes, and the Chromium web browser. Together with Google, the latter has called on developers to avoid racist terms such as blacklist and whitelist and, if possible, replace these terms with other, less controversial ones. We will see where the whole gradating and slowly escalating situation will go. Almost all large companies are taking a defeatist approach and are even cutting off advertising relations with Facebookand demand that it combat hate speech more effectively. This includes Coca-Cola, Unilever and Starbucks, for example. One can only hope that reason will prevail.onec will prevail and both sides will reach a common consensus.
This is really dementia of the highest caliber...
The conclusion of the article is pleasantly optimistic, but unfortunately completely unrealistic. At a time when everywhere we see how common sense has lost and has been replaced by dementia. Every day a lot of evidence, every day even more nonsense is suddenly a reality, and unfortunately these "keyhole sexuality theories" have already penetrated almost completely everywhere - academic drive in exact sciences, on technological websites, one simply cannot hide anymore... :-/
The only way to defend yourself against stupidity is mental hygiene. Ignore all social networks and media that spread what is against common sense.
twitter, is that the network that specializes in short shoutouts?
Is there a source for the news? Or did they make up a story again and everyone will copy it?
Unfortunately, they did not invent. Is it true.
Twle. that's really true :D I have the feeling that such nonsense can only be invented by real racists, because a normal person would not even dream of connecting these "words" with racism... I wonder when they will rename BLACK Friday :D
XD
I'm also interested in when they will order funerals in black or completely ban the word black and instead only the word dark will be allowed ;-(
I think the MasterCarThis is the last time we saw Black Friday this year...
Weddings should also be banned. When the bride is in a white dress, it is as if she is a member of the Kuklux Klan.
I suggest re-fencing the borders, leaving the degenerate Brussels association, and severing all ties with the US, canceling their mouthpieces (CT, Hrob 0,9, pirates) before similar craziness reaches us
Only a fool like you can think that without the EU we will be richer and everyone will be better off. You are just fed hay from disinformation websites and you don't think much of it. The fact that you are not doing well in life is not the fault of the EU, nor the refugees, nor Soros. You are to blame for being dirty.
Where I write about some refugees or Soros.
You are so blinded. europropaganda that you don't see the madness and gender/eco/LGBT madness?
It's time for the self-replicating virus to escape, which will kill all humans.
