Why am I not surprised to find some lowlander so backwards they think anything not as backwards as themselves must be from another planet?!
The only reason you're not in England is that people came south from another planet to save you.
If you don't know that Scottish people know about train stations, perhaps you're actually English but nobody told you? https://www.scotslanguage.com/...
If you think it is morally reprehensible to kill a cow, and anybody who does it is going to suffer for eternity in the afterlife, it is still legal and so not murder.
Murder is an ethical accusation, not a moral accusation. Nothing about the usage of "murder" in that case helps to better describe anything.
No, the master cylinder pushes on the fluid, the slave follows the pressure changes.
There is no difference between electrical signaling used on a bus, and a hydraulic system. They both create an increased potential for action that causes the work to be done. They are complete analogous. "Pushing" doesn't even mean anything in engineering or physics, mechanical forces are symmetrical, they only even have meaning as analogies. Push/pull is just telling which sides of the object the difference in potential is being created on! The equivalent with humans would be the difference in social potential created by giving an order of what to do, or giving an order of what not to do.
This is 101-level stuff regardless of if your perspective is electrical, mechanical, or anthropological.
Plebs were free Roman citizens of a lower class. They would not be comforted by the prohibition or tolerance of slavery. So I would say it was clearly targeted either at the Patricians, or the slaves, but certainly not the Plebs.
It isn't a prohibition on slavery, it is the prohibition on fraud in selling as a slave a person who was captured using an incorrect procedure. It doesn't prohibit anything to do with slaves, it is prohibition on fraud and mistreatment of non-slaves.
The context of the passage leaves no ambiguity on those points.
A worker, in engineering, is given a job and reports back when it is finished. A slave communicates only when told to, and the communication is mediated by the master. In fact, often a managerial process will communicate as a bus master with a slave device in order to send jobs to the worker process running on a different processor. All the viable words are already overloaded. Language other than English borrow English technical words, because nobody has enough words. And even though English has more words than any other language, we still don't have enough words to give everything in engineering a unique label. So we're sure as fuck not going to throw out important labels. Master/slave, as used in serial communications, cannot be replaced without loss of communication capability. And the lamest part is that most of the things people suggest are not only already being used, they're already being used in the same type of engineering context where you would have a lot of serial communications or hardware buses!
If you're thinking about something from parallel programming as being the design pattern discussed, it shows you don't even understand what the fuck is being talked about. I hope I managed to offend you, because your ignorance while speaking offended me.
In most of Europe, slavery wasn't banned until after it was banned in the US.
People in Europe don't teach the banning of slavery in history, they teach the banning of capturing slaves and running slave markets. But they still allowed people to keep slaves legally purchased in a place where it was legal, typically Tunisia. And it remained legal to capture slaves on the high seas, if they were working on an illegal ship. The workers on those ships were already illegal slaves, but now by being captured at "work" they became legal slaves.
Even after slavery was "banned" in Europe, there were still lots of slaves, many of them born free. Many of them held based on forged paperwork!
Slaves have every right to use lethal force to seek their freedom, but if they're successful they still won't have any right to tell me what words to use. And they're unlike to persuade me to stop using traditional engineering terms.
Fuck it, lets just burn all the computers and go back to using bows and arrows, and hunting in the woods.....
What about the vegans you insensitive clod?!
Just give them powerful hand lenses so they can see all the bugs on their greens, and they'll stop eating.
Without powerful chemicals to kill all the little people living on the lettuce before it gets to the store, you just can't have vegans! That's why vegans who have been exposed to microscopes can't eat organic produce anymore. Only meat eaters can do organic, same goes for that "natural" stuff out in the woods!
Serfs are nothing like slaves. At all. Serfs have the right to a row, hoed if it is the local practice, in exchange for a predetermined number of days of farm labor. In addition, the Lord is obligated to protect the serf from attack, with his own life if necessary. The serf has basically no obligations outside of planting and harvest seasons.
In much of Europe for over 500 years serfs even had the right to a free beer at alms on Sunday.
In many cases there would have been both slaves and serfs in the same town. And their situations were very different.
Forms of sharecropping was common all over Europe until the Industrial Revolution. For most people it was the only way to receive physical protection from bandits.
Pretty much everywhere else the children of slaves were born free
Ask the Irish about that one.
Quite often there was a generally accepted route for captured slaves to earn their freedom as well.
As all the banned Irish poets were hung for explaining, you can always die free by declaring your freedom and being killed for it. Nobody can take that away from you... if you can withstand the torture until your death, anyways, like Kevin Barry.
No, I build my own systems from parts. I know exactly what practices were used to sell the CPU, because I bought a discrete CPU.
I paid extra for the part number that represents the bin with higher electrical efficiency at low speeds.
The thing in this story is where they sell it to OEMs, who won't give you enough information about their completed systems to actually tell which bin the CPU was from; that remains true even where they list a very specific-sounding part number in the marketing, and then use an "equivalent" part.
Part binning is a thing, sure. When I buy something like a high power LED, the same base part number comes in about a dozen bins, or I can save a few cents by ordering only the base part number. But when you buy a completed device that uses those LEDs, they never tell you what bins they were from. It is the same here. Bins are a thing, but only if you buy discrete parts. If you're buying assembled products, they don't matter to you.
And if they only sell it OEMs, then it can't matter to an end user. You won't be buying it directly, and you won't be buying it in a high end system. The whole system will have non-optimal parts, nothing will be running at full speed, and nobody will know any details finer than the benchmark results. It will do n frames per second in some game, and that will be that.
If you're designing an electronic device though, plug and socket will already have a different meaning on the parts websites. You will need to order the correct parts on both plug vs socket and male vs female basis. Something like a DB-9, plug/socket is talking about the plastic parts, and then you have to insert the pins which are still male/female.
It is hidden from the end user because it is easy to just talk about the plastic part instead of the electrical connection. But the technical words don't change.
Same for python. They can change the words that newbs use in the code when they're taking an online class, but they're not going to stop the rest of the programming world from using master/slave to talk about the algorithms, and the serious books are still going to use those terms, as are a lot of libraries. They won't be gone, nothing will be changed, only some of the people who claim to have concerns will no longer have to talk about the subject of their concern.
That's a problem in the translation practices only.
Do a web search for "Koreans say the darndest things," for example. You can't blame the source language, it is up the translator to learn the potential misunderstandings and avoid them. That makes more sense than asking Koreans to change their second person pronouns for "me" and "you," or asking that traditional computer and electronic algorithms be renamed.

Not nerdy enough to find interest in the history of clock accuracy, eh?
Get off my lawn.
Now where are my meds, I have a feeling I'm within 3 minutes of needing them.
Murder is defined as unlawful killing.
If you think it is morally reprehensible to kill a cow, and anybody who does it is going to suffer for eternity in the afterlife, it is still legal and so not murder.

Good idea, let's replace arrays with vectors.
What about in R, where arrays and vectors are already different things?

You want to fuck around with english, go study classic literally.
The classic literally was way better than this new literally that means the opposite.
Engineers are too busy to play silly games.
No minesweeper for you, only chess! I will not have engineers who play silly games. Only serious games are permitted! Chess, and fencing. That's it.

So lying about the term using bombastic propaganda makes it less offensive to cobblers? No.

And yet, Apple is still full of air power, same as always.
People just didn't realize how airy it was, or the power with which it was expelled. Now a year later, Apple resorted to opening Windows.
What a ____ show.
What if careful analysis of media indicates that in most literary examples of minions, they're actually slaves?
That's nominal, online sarcasm was deprecated in 1987.
Is need subjective, or would that have to be wantlessly? Are you absolutely sure we can't do an objective measurement of if a "need" existed, or not?
If somebody made a funny video for the interwebs to the music of Whip It by Devo, it might totally take off.
