    It's time to end the terms "slave" and "master" in Photography https://buff.ly/2Uhk6ZM

    I'm well familiar with this problem in the software world, and have been working to stop using these, but I feel like this week I've suddenly been reminded of just how many other industries these terms are embedded in.

      Ooh, I really like "blocklist", it's close enough to the old term while being inherently descriptive that it works for both old and new hearers.

      Yeah those too. Thankfully it's not a difficult argument to make to change to more descriptive terms. Those don't actually mean anything themselves, you have to be taught what they mean. In contrast to blocklist/allowlist or variations.

      "Blacklist" and "whitelist" are two I have an issue with because they're really well established and concise in our industry.

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
