Well master/slave could be changed with primary/standby or primary/replica in most situations, still we can change terms all we want people will find reason to be offended. Sometimes they have a point, often they should just go away if they are offended by something. Drawing the line right is responsability of the society, but the problem is hate group waves amplify only certain kind of extremists and almost never the voice of reason is to be heard within the stream of hateful posts.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoI've actually used "master/slave", maybe a 15 years ago, and "primary/replica" is the first time I've heard something that really describes what we were doing. It actually fits better than "master/slave", because the primary wasn't giving orders to the replica, it was giving update data. I thought it was the perfect term. But then I realized that "primary/replica" is offensive to the replicants out there (think Blade Runner)...
- ricksplat 11y agoLOL! - I think if that were the case, and said replicants had been emancipated then you would have to be a little more careful with those terms. Not worth getting your fingers broken for.
