...then as a lifelong leftist and champion of precision and clarity in writing, he would perhaps have applauded the choice of language which is both inclusive and technically exact?
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoI don’t really understand the divisiveness of changes like this at all. I already say “allowlist” and “denylist” habitually. Whether or not that matches my sociopolitical ideology, that’s just where the industry is at this point, so I’m there too. Everything in technology is constantly changing, and that is neither good nor bad in my view. It seems strange to be outraged by a change in vernacular when that’s amongst the easiest changes we face in industry generally. I say, save the anger for when SAP stops investing in on-prem, when Azure signing keys are compromised, when your storage vendor loses your data, or when your upstream vendor changes licenses on you, etc.
