At some point virtue signaling is fixing symptoms of the problem. Always had a problem with master slave terminology happy to see it gone.

You'll be happy to know in the context of a "master branch" it never had any connotation to slavery, except in the minds of people who see everything as a question of race*

Anyway I'm off to listen to the 50th anniversary Dark Side of the Moon remaster. Wait, is "dark" an okay word? I didn't get a master's degree in English

* Parallel ATA on the other hand, yeah, yikes


> virtue signaling is fixing symptoms of the problem

It diminishes the seriousness of the entire anti-racism movement by making it look petty, out of touch and more interested in creating nuisances than solving real problems. The San Francisco school board got fired for doing similar nonsense during COVID, renaming schools and thus showing they weren’t serious people.


> by making it look

I have yet to see a good reason to believe that it isn't actually the case.


Can you, perhaps, cite your own pre-2020 writing attesting to the problem, and explaining why it should be considered a problem?

Do you consider that using the name "master" for a branch tends to endorse or normalize slavery, or (even stochastically) increase the amount of slavery that occurs in the world?

If so, how?

If not, why is it actually a problem to reference the concept (even disregarding the evidence that it was not intended to do so)?


Deep copilot integration feels so intrusive. It pops up with your recent files. What if they were my bank accounts or api keys? Whoever thought that would be a good use experience should be fired.

gguf or mlx? edit, just tried a community mlx and lm studio said it didn't support loading it yet.

Number 2 makes me chuckle honestly. Too many people going down the 10x rabbit holes on youtube. Next up, a framework that 100xs your workflow. You know its good because it comes with 300 agents and 20 mcp servers and 1200 skills

Short answer no. Less short answer, the science is catching up to big ones quickly.

forget the warning, just compact like someone suggested in the ticket. Who would opt for a massive cache miss?

I will say I have noticed none of these things in my enterprise account. Is this is a known targeting of non-enterprise clients only?

The cost of building your own tool here is practically 0 these days. Why even bother trusting another party at all.

I would do this but cant stand the MacBook keyboards anyway. Even a cheap $50 amazon mechanical is a much more ergonomic experience
