Light’s funeral

catfishmaster

The main characters (plus B) as DND characters

Older Near (like 25-30) with a bunch of cats he keeps for company

Roger bonding with Near after the Kira case.

Beyond Birthday faked his death in 2004 and now lives alone as a poor and pretty miserable theatre actor with a fake name. Oh, and also it's a Kira wins au.

Matt takes Near on a tour of an afterlife-like world they both wound up in. It's more like a dreamscape than anything else but it serves as an afterlife.

OpenZFS removed offensive terminology from its code

Enlarge / Replacements for outdated master/slave terminology tend to be considerably more accurate, as well as less offensive.

Share this story

On Wednesday evening, ZFS founding developer Matthew Ahrens submitted what should have been a simple, non-controversial pull request to the OpenZFS project: wherever possible without causing technical issues, the patch removed references to “slaves” and replaced them with “dependents.”

This patch in question doesn’t change the way the code functions—it simply changes variable names in a way that brings them in conformance with Linux upstream device-mapper terminology, in 48 total lines of code (42 removed and 48 added; with one comment block expanded slightly to be more descriptive).

But this being the Internet, unfortunately, outraged naysayers descended on the pull request, and the comments were quickly closed to non-contributors. I first became aware of this as the moderator of the r/zfs subreddit where the overflow spilled once comments on the PR itself were no longer possible.

Updating terminology is technically sound

There are several valid answers to the “Why patch?” question. For those who refuse to think of anything but clarity, there is no good descriptive relationship between any technology and human slavery—and the human term far predates any engineering or technical use. Replacing “master/slave” terminology generally results in a more precise, easily discoverable technical description.

OpenZFS is not on the leading edge of this disambiguation effort. Some notable projects that have discarded and replaced master/slave terminology include the BIND DNS server, Drupal Web application framework, and Redis datastore. It is particularly telling that, although all three projects used the same original “master/slave” terms, the replacements were different. That’s because the actual relationship described is different in each project, and so the most sensible replacement for the same original term is different for each project.

For the BIND DNS server, the Internet Systems Consortium replaced master/slave with primary/secondary. For Drupal, the replacement is primary/replica, and for Redis, it’s leader/follower. The different replacement terms exist because the real functions are different—and the replacement for the original terminology is therefore more descriptive of what’s actually happening underneath the hood.

Similar historical updates

As mentioned previously, OpenZFS is by no means the first project to update its codebase and documentation to remove references to slavery. Although complaints about master/slave terminology circulated at least as far back as the 1990s, the first large mainstream American exposure came from Los Angeles in 2003, where a black employee of the county filed a complaint concerning master/slave labels on videotape devices.

In addition to specific terminology updates in specific projects, the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) published a memo in 2018 acknowledging and outlining the problem and offering specific alternatives to both master/slave and blacklist/whitelist terminology.

Motivation and context

While technical accuracy and precedent are valid reasons to remove master/slave terminology from a codebase, they are of course not the only reason. Ahrens’ own pull request describes this eloquently enough:

The horrible effects of human slavery continue to impact society. The casual use of the term “slave” in computer software is an unnecessary reference to a painful human experience.

There should be nothing controversial about this, even if this were a drive-by pull request from a first-time contributor. Ahrens, of course, is anything but—he was one of the three founding Sun Microsystems ZFS developers beginning in 2001, and he remains a lead developer of the OpenZFS project today.

More importantly, it should be obvious that one person’s impervious reaction to casual slavery-based analogies does not negate another person’s experiences with slavery’s historical reality and its ongoing generational effects.

Ahrens’ pull request has been reviewed by fellow lead developers Brian Behlendorf and Ryan Moeller and merged into the OpenZFS project repository.

Merc Storia 9 - 10 | Gridman 10 - 11 | Double Decker 11 | Golden Kamuy 21 | Zombieland Saga 11

Merc Storia 9

I started playing the game recently, so it’ll be fun seeing the anime stories cross over to the game or vice versa!

“…every word you say and every move you make is watched.” – Sounds like Big Brother is watching…

Antel is an introvert’s friend, for sure (just because of how introverted he himself is)!

I thought it was a regional accent Forna had, but it turns out she just goes “dayo!” a lot…

I got a Voicia from the game’s tutorial. I…really don’t know what to do with it though, now that I realise it perceives itself as ugly when trapped in crystal…

Basically, Antel and Selena are just Kaguya and Shirogane…LOL.

Selena uses watakushi…very formal.

A music battle! Not sure I needed it, but I guess I’ve wanted it…? It’s friggin’ epic, though…(I mean all that in a positive way.)

Oh deary. We’re headed to angel country! Oh my goodness, I saw a unit called Ortel in one of my battles and I just have to have him!!! I wanna see him animated!!! Update: His name is actually Orthos.

Gridman 10

Inagi – a real place in Japan.

I see Calibur learnt how to use a door after all those episodes that we didn’t see his swords crash into one.

“Breast Spark!”? Really…?

The fact Anti spun so many times…just seems so…unrealistic. As unrealistic as anime can be, anyway.

That pointy thing resembles an Angel from Eva, eh?

Double Decker! 11

I just realised the military dude and Zabel look…verrry similar…Update: That’s…not Zabel. Let’s say that.

Kirill and Yuri??? That’s an odd combo, in more ways than one!

Oh…man. “Sh*t got serious”, as they say.

Golden Kamuy 21

[Aside from a comment that doesn’t really work well without context – that I don’t remember the context to – there’s nothing here. Sorry.]

Zombieland Saga 11

Next week’s already the final week, huh?

For the last time, Truck-kun, stay out of anime, please…!

Who’s Hizen?!

Yamamoto Jocho apears to be a writer/samurai from Saga.

I think Lily’s excuse is a pun on the surname Hoshikawa plus the hair decs.

Kotaro’s going “delicious…” to his Nabeshima alcohol…or whatever the alcohol equivalent to that is.

Yobuko ikasashi appears to be the squid on the table, while mattaku = “really?”

Saga Castle was in the background of the bridge scene…meaning it might’ve been a place you see in Yuri!!! on Ice as well.

It’s dawned on me that Kotaro is a “tough love” kind of daddy…If he’s even a “daddy” type at all.

Merc Storia 10

Michellia? I have a 5 star unit of her! She mows down so many enemies for me! She’s wonderful!

I’d assume “Ultos” is Orthos (see previous episode’s commentary for an explanation of who that is).

“What’s up?” – The Sky Country gives a whole new meaning to that question. Kind of like when you answer “ceiling” to that question.

Ooh, I like Raviol (sic…?) already!

Aw, I can’t help but love Ultos already too. I love Ugly Duckling stories.

This town is so beautiful!

Ultos and Ravial are the angels with Cosette and Jeantore.

I just realised Titi is wearing a Rabyun hat…

Gridman 11

Oh! Gridknight’s in the OP now!

Poor Rikkamama. She’s just going “…?” while revelation after revelation is being dumped on her.

Hypovolemic shock: “A condition in which the liquid portion of the blood (plasma) is too low.”

16777216 is apparently 256 * 3, which is a lot of colours! Thank goodness for graphics upgrades, eh?

Now that I have a volunteer gig at a place that sells used things (like this junk shop), I know the importance of things like “one person’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

This is doing some DN Angel mumbo-jumbo, isn’t it??? Oh…great. *sigh*

Hey, that one shot where Yuuta looked at the light reminded me of the “unfamiliar ceiling” scene in Evangelion…

It’s weird…Gridman was an unstable show, but suddenly became really coherent and solid from episode 9. I’m not sure if that means it’s worth slogging through episodes where you don’t feel like it’ll get better or not.
