minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·11 months agoMain is the replacement for master for git branches, not the general master-slave pattern. Wikipedia suggests: Other replacement names include controller, default, director, host, initiator, leader, manager, primary, principal, root; and for slave: agent, client, device, performer, peripheral, replica, responder, satellite, secondary, subordinate, and worker. I usually use controller / worker if it’s a local process or controller / remote if the subordinates are on different hosts.
minus-square_edge@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoI know I’m old, but never found that calling a dumb machine a slave to be problemtic. The thing is supposed to obey my orders. It’s in the code and code is law. I’m also not American and never owned slaves.
