You should try to avoid using "Blocklist" in most code IMO, it's ambiguous in a number of contexts as the word block itself is ambiguous and can mean very multiple different things such as blockchain blocks or data/filesystem blocks which would be something very different from the intended definition of a disallow rule.
- dspillett 6y agoI would assume in most cases context would differentiate the meanings adequately unambiguously, especially in userland rather than when coding. But you have a point, block is unhelpfully overloaded on the English language.
- kondu 6y agoYou mean just like how the context will disambiguate the meaning of "master"?
