Node.js Cluster API: Remove API References to Suicide (github.com) 7 points by BinaryIdiot 9y ago ↗ HN
[–] Akujin 9y ago ↗ This reminds me of the terminology surrounding IDE cables (master/slave versus primary/secondary).Then again kill is a command built into every operating system.Even Windows has taskkill.At some point you have to ask. Are people just too sensitive?
[–] kcdev 9y ago ↗ The contributor notes that the term "suicide" is technically not appropriate; he also calls it offensive.If it is technically not the correct term, then change/remove it. But when did the term become offensive?
