Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
LaTeX .... Master-Slave ...
I think that's why we're supposed to call it main now
The naming isn't great still... I usually use ReadWrite instance and replica. I really wish we had some more concise replacement terms.
Main is the replacement for master for git branches, not the general master-slave pattern. Wikipedia suggests:
I usually use controller / worker if it's a local process or controller / remote if the subordinates are on different hosts.
I 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.
