#2It's been a rough few weeks for antirez, but I just want to say how much I appreciate his work on Redis and open source in general. We're lucky to have him.

Absolutely. First was the Apache commons clause license, and responding to random folks who assumed Redis was going closed source. Then the current issue of changing master slave termibology,and having to hear negative things from both the camps.
Lolwut is the perfect break from madness.

#4This is exactly the insanity I expect from a man that have been haunted by an internet mob the last past weeks.
I like these, Sidekiq also have the tableflip methods (with tests) that does exactly nothing, https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/927680cae78731c540fe...

#5Ah, hackers, we are getting lost inside capitalism - inside startups - inside e-commerce and social media... I am not talking about socialism or leftism, we can get lost in those too - I am talking about 'personal'/'hobbyist'/'obscure' - like we see in zine sites like whimsy.space or the rabbit hole of sites like philosopher.life.
A part of our humanity will always be in 'obfuscation'/'code golf', demoscene, abandonware, easter eggs, the humble quine, dot plan files, muds, the icfp contest. Could the preservation of 'fun' and 'sheer fun' be above these other conflicts? If ai destroys humanity, it will definitely do well to start with the 'fun'.

But he didn't get rid of the 'master' terminology, only slave. I bet "they" come for that next. I feel sorry for the guy.

I'm both aghast and amused that people are making a big deal about master/slave when used in the context of computers.

I think the idea of "master" as in a definitive or original copy has enough usage that it's considered a second meaning of the word. I guess it's still possible that people will be upset, but without "slave", it's not unreasonable to assume that people will think of a key or album master instead of a slaver.

Insanity? I can't begin to comprehend how extremely unimaginative someone's mind must be to call this insane. Is there really nothing in your world beyond value and usefulness?

The way I look at it, the amount of effort required to change that terminology is less than the amount of community discomfort generated by keeping it.
