  • I’m not suggesting randomness or inconsistency, I’m saying generalizing is overkill. But you’re right, “whatever works” might be taken too literal by some

    You’re absolutely right that depending on your autofill is not a good general approach either. Then again, you shouldn’t be guessing at these either

    I’ve worked with changing conventions in different teams. In the end people are not going to come up with some name and whether it’s myOldThing or my_old_thing won’t matter much. Usually I just follow whatever the team I’m working with prefers




  • When your grandparents were young, racism was still considered somewhat normal. And in cartoons, popular media, etc… there was a particular depiction of people with a dark skin tone that was used in a derogatory manner.

    Recreating this appearance on someone’s face was later termed “blackface”. And less complete variants of it are still considered offensive by some.

    I can’t place myself in that perspective, but I think I’m lucky not to have been part of that culture.








  • On the photo you see a violation of rules listed as one of the reasons this commit is made. Because it’s at the top the meme creator is presuming that’s their main priority.

    And they disagree with that, so they’re calling them a “park ranger”. I’m guessing they’re alluding to an old but common media presentation of park rangers being childish about rules.

    I get the joke with that it looks a bit odd to put that reason at the top of the list, but their response I find more unkind than funny
