All settlers are terrorists. There are over 750k people living in the occupied territories. They need to gtfo asap. Their claims hold no water and there is absolutely no legal foundation to creating little settler colonies on another people's land. I'm talking about the West Bank and the other occupied territories here, not Israel proper.
Look, I come from the hardware part of the industry and have never seen anyone talk about "master records" in software but always about master devices controlling slave devices. I'll give you that, apparently "master records" are a thing (although I'm curious in what part of the industry). At the same time, it seems so niche and weird to me that there's no point for me to use it. I'll stick with main because it just makes more sense and seems a lot more intuitive to people than to think about master records and what not. You do you, I personally absolutely do not care at all what you go with in your projects.
German officials have literally put out a warrant for a Ukrainian citizen in connection to the sabotage. Journalists with sources close to the investigation have been writing that the sabotage has connections to the Ukrainian army and the political leadership in Ukraine.
Putin might be dumb, but he's definitely not dumb enough to blow up his own pipeline. And yes, who blew it up matters, because at the end of the day the taxpayer has paid for it.
I'm not sure where you're going with this. I haven't gatekept anything, you can use whatever term you want, that's none of my business. You can happily read my other comment. To me, "master" makes no sense if there are no "slaves". That's why I don't use it. It doesn't make sense to use it. You do you, that's your business.
I don't know what a master recording is. Googled it and it seems to be related to vinyl or something. So yeah, kind of hard for me to wrap my head around that, but definitely an interesting outlook.
We're talking about computing here. At least the post does. I guess you could be a QA engineer or something else, but this discussion is mostly a thing with developers.
That's not how the terms entered computing though. We always used master in opposition of one or multiple slaves. It implies that one component has control and orders the other one around.
I'm a developer. I use main/release/dev for new projects, because it just sounds better and is more intuitive to me honestly. "Master" doesn't make much sense. Like what's so "master" about a "master branch"? It's just the main branch everything gets merged into. It doesn't "control" branches. There's no "master/slave" relationship there. So again, "master" was never really intuitive to me.
Old projects don't get relabeled, they stay master, cause relabeling the main branch could cause potential problems. That's my two cents.
Isn't it funny how liberals will let this slide just because they don't agree with his positions? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a conservative, nor a liberal, I'm a communist, and no, I do not agree with Richard Medhurst or his positions on the Russia - Ukraine war, but I think it's quite worrisome that we're arresting people on "terrorism" for saying bullshit we don't like. 20 years ago a terrorism charge meant you'd be caught building a bomb, or providing a terrorist organisation with material support, nowadays it constitutes spreading Russian propaganda, or sharing some opinions that some bad guys might also have (or be interpreted as such), and that the government has decided is punishable. And yes, his opinions do suck.
Just wait for the regime in the UK to change, wait for the far-right brexit geezers that have been rioting to get in power, and we'll see many more people (including journalists and activists) get arrested under the suspicion of "terrorism" just for saying things the current/future regime doesn't like. You are creating some very dangerous instruments for future governments to use and abuse. It's scary how much trust the civil society is thereby putting in all future governments that will have these tools at their disposal.
Funny how this gets plastered all over the news as tens of thousands have been drowning in the Mediterranean for years now without anyone paying much attention.
