I have this method that populates a list with dummy tile data (it's a texture packing tool I'm working on, so there needs to be a list of possible tile locations based on the tile sheet and tile sizes) so that the user can iterate over the possible positions and then set up each position with data, but when I was adding comments, I got this lol
Discussion
Me: "There's no problematic language in programming, this is stupid."
Also me: "Ok, so for efficiency I'll slave all the workers to a master and get the master to kill them if they get disabled, then it can make a new child worker to replace them."
Also remember you can kill the disabled child worker's parents if they're on the blacklist.
Oh, we just got a request from someone who isn't white. Don't worry, I'll throttle them.
All children have been aborted.
I can't even say that I am dummy thicc anymore smh.
Please tell me this is fake and Jetbrains IDEs don't do this.
Unfortunately it's real. I use Rider
I use some Jetbrains IDEs, I just have never seen this. Makes sense considering they do other weird things like spellchecking your code by default.
Eh, I like the spellchecking it does
WHAT, that seems so dumb...
Consider replacing the possibly ableist word "dumb"
WTF are you supposed to use? How is dummy ableist?
The suggestion is to replace it with “fake”. You can actually disable the suggestion. But it’s a little xtra to have it on by default
But if we use fake then how will that make phony people feel??
Great point
Yes but why are we creating this environment of defensive naming conventions for (in this case) things nobody is offended by?
I’m offended (I’m a huge dummy)
There's also a big list of categories that it will spell check. Somewhere in there you can turn off the checks for words that might be considered offensive or stuff like that.
Aren't dummy variables common usage in Boolean conditions in statistics and econometrics?
why tf is it on by default...?
Excuse me. Please use "differently-able the suggestion" instead of d*sable.
You can name your mocks with things like "retarData" to show the IDE who's in charge
New naming convention unlocked
Dummy is related to the word dumb, in the literal sense of unable to talk. It's still used as an insult, so is associated with ridicule of disabilities.
Dummy meaning fake probably originated from dummies being mannequins, i.e. fake people that can't talk. I doubt it was ever to insult mute people.
I use Rider as well and don't have any of this or settings related to it. Is it a new feature or something?
Is there any way to turn this retarded shit off in Rider?
This comes from the plugin Grazie, which comes bundled with any Jetbrains IDE, but Grazie itself use LanguageTool which is a 3rd party tool. Grazie is probably only doing integration and controlling which contexts proofreading should be applied.
I get similar warnings in nvim through a linter which refers to the RedHat Supplementary Style Guide. It's probably coming from there
Can you find a way to get VS Code to have this? I need this rule in my eslint. For reasons.
Damn, it feels go to know that VS code doesn't do that shit .... yet 👀
(Yes I do java in vs code)
- Eww, Java in VSC sounds like a nightmare
- You can disable the ableist check
the fact that you say "you can" mean it's on by default, which kinda weird, why not opt in?
Well on by default means it's probably the most effective because of the nature of this issue... if it's opt-in, then only people who are already self-aware of problematic naming conventions would see it. So, not as effective and widespread as highlighting those conventions in the people who aren't even aware to begin with.
Nah I don't give a rat ass to it, just doing it because it's in my course. As soon as I'm passed I won't be going back to it.
lol. Corporate mandate that all employees must install this extension.
I believe it's base jetbrains IDE
Facepalm
Yeah, I had to literally uncheck an "Abelist" box in the spell check opinions
It's an option you can disable. There are other examples "master/slave replication", "whitelist", "blacklist" etc
I replaced whitelist with AryanList for extra security. By opposition, the blacklist has become SchindlerList
broooooo 💀💀💀
What’s the alternative to whitelist and blacklist?
Allow and deny?
Yes
Allow/block
While this strikes me as over-the-top, if we err, I prefer it this way: overly-compassionate.
I'm glad to see people are trying this hard.
Now remove it from the default settings please :)
For real, I will take overly concerned but caring over not giving a shit about other people any day
It is fine in the defaults, the problem with non-default settings is that people who would use them won't know they exist. It is very easy to turn off if you don't need it.
what does this have to do with compassion? It's just word policing to make busy bodies feel better about being useless.
Same if you called making society less degenerate in the 80s when some Karen decided to complain about seeing a boob in the sky
Some of us are fortunate enough to have lived a privileged life, where we fit in with the majority.
But if you're gay, and everyone around you says, "That's gay" when referring to something bad, it'd be hard to express yourself, to be who you are around them.
It can seem like "word policing" when you've never been the butt of a joke, but it really is important to make space for people to be who they are around you. To be happy.
Saying “that’s gay” isn’t offensive because it contains the word gay, it’s offensive because using the word gay as a negative trait implies that you think being gay is negative. It’s not dissimilar to if I started saying “that’s so u/SagansCandle” about things that I don’t like. It’s not the mere fact that I’m using your username in a sentence, it’s the implication that I somehow dislike you so much that your name is synonymous with dislike.
Explained well - I think we're in agreement on this.
I'm gay and I use "that's gay" all the time. Just as I use other slurs.
I find it way more offensive when someone tells me I cannot say something because they think it's bad. You don't get to decide what words others shouldn't use. If you don't like it, don't use it.
Just as I use other slurs.
Some people are fine throwing around slurs. You get to decide the person you want to be.
Some of us are fortunate enough to have lived a privileged life, where we fit in with the majority.
So you’d like to offload your misplaced guilt and self loathing onto others and make it their problem? Please for the love of god pull your head out of your ass
Why is every word capitalized?
Uh oh, I hope you don’t have a branch named master
the word you are looking for is `mock`
Please post the name of the IDE/plugin so we don't install it lol
All Jetbrains IDEs have this enabled by default, you can of course turn it off.
Waiwaiwait, dummy has anything to do with disability? Wha
“Dumb” was an older, not entirely derogatory, term for someone who would now be commonly known as “mute”, unable to speak, or if it’s a secondary effect “non-verbal”
It’s got a weird history if you enjoy reading about the change of words over time.
“That deaf dumb blind kid sure played a mean pinball”
Damn, I feel like some words are so far removed from their original meanings they should just get a pass.
is this ragebait?
Inb4 you can't use 'fake' either because that's truthist
Consider minding your own fucking business.
Don't wanna upset the crash test folk.
Consider fake.
But think about how that will make phoney people feel?
I think ableists can go fuck themselves.
dummy is NOT ableist.
Yo DO NOT show the sjw's my fucking comments.
They'll crucify me for crimes I didn't commit.
Which I guess is the way it goes, right?
“Sjw”? Did you by any chance just wake up from a 13 year long coma?
Oh?
We not allowed to say that anymore?
Ironic?
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but that’s not what I meant, i meant it’s an old ass term from like 2013 lol
It’s not that you’re not allowed to use it it’s just weird like saying ROFL or fopdoodle
It's just a hipster bigot, he wants you to know he hates being a nice person before it was cool.
I understood that but it's no less relevant.
No, the point is exactly that it's irrelevant because it's straight from 2015. If you wanna spew conservative bullshit then say woke instead, more up to date (not that the insecurity vulnerabilities have been patched in that one either)
Who said conservative? Tf?
Woke is a completely different thing.
SJW, now that's a word that takes me back lol. 13 year old me was watching "SJW epic own compilation #143"
cancel culture coming for comments
Shit, my comments are fucked up…
Half of my comments were inside thoughts that leaked through my fingertips.
