So someone using "0xCAFEBABE" or whatever, do you really think women take it personally, or what is the problem here? If I were to use it, there would be no target, and I doubt in most common uses there are any, so it does not make much sense to me.
I’ve never liked those hex words, especially the sexually connoted ones, but at the same time I find the existence of code checking for them very cringy.
Because every word and every combination of hexadecimal characters is "potentially offensive", and because those prone to taking offense are perfectly capable of finding it anywhere that they want to anyway?
> Because every word and every combination of hexadecimal characters is "potentially offensive"
No they are not. There are plenty of harmless combinations, like 0x1235679a or other with English words like 0xcafebad0.
Offensive was a bit of a strong word here, I was mostly paraphrasing the dictionary. However in male-dominated field, using an objectifying word targeting 50% of the world population is definitely in poor taste.
Most important of all, it looks unprofessional. It don't think it would look professional for HR to put jokes in our salary sheets, and I think the same applies to company code.
after the parent kills the children that were sending the commands to the slaves, it needs to wait to reap the zombies, because there's no garbage collection for the dead children. otherwise the process table might fill up from all the forking, like with a fork bomb. then stonith failover will nuke the server, unless it's on the blacklist of dummy servers
i wrote the stonith daemon in racket scheme because guile was too slow and was sometimes missing a heartbeat
Yes. Once I used Rust's Command in a wrong way, and after terminating a child it has turned into a zombie. I had to forcefully kill it manually each time this happened. It had to be fixed in the long run, because each run risked an OOM Killer (employed by the system) will show up and start its random kills. When I've finished my fixes, I've committed everything to the master branch and CI slaves started working nightly to bring me fresh binaries to execute in the morning. It wasn't much longer after smoke tests when it was apparent that the bug was eliminated. ;)
Just wait until they hear that it’s perfectly fine to show someone being graphically killed or blown up on prime time TV, but a national scandal if a boob gets flashed.
It’s just a particular flavor of first world problems combined with group policing using rage and shaming.
I know my libertarian tendency hackles get triggered when I see it, but frankly I’ve given up giving a shit. Mostly.
But there is a target here, too. "Ana" and "Leslie". I get the "b00b" ones may be "bad" in the sense that those are sexually explicit nouns, but as for "d00d" or "babe", not so much as it requires a target.
