[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;49720518]Censorship is censorship, no matter how small. You don't have to die to be censored. Where is the line drawn? Why was this project changed from "Webm for Retards" to "Webm Converter" even though loads of projects with the word fuck are allowed to stay up? And not small projects either, things like FuckAdblock and FuckFuckAdblock. There is an agenda that Github is pushing, and it's pushing it through censoring projects they morally disagree with.[/QUOTE]
The line is drawn at slurs. 'Retard' isn't just a bad word, it's a slur (as someone with mentally ill loved ones I can vouch for this), and slurs should be treated differently to swearwords. I understand programmers don't spend much time on JSTOR but two citations if it helps: [url]https://www.jstor.org/stable/3195729?seq=1[/url]
[url]https://www.jstor.org/stable/538989?seq=1[/url]
Besides, just use your common sense. Stopping teenagers using the word 'retard' on github isn't exactly a slippery slope to 1984, and github isn't conspiring with SJWs to police language. It's common fucking courtesy so that the internet's hateful shit is confined to (optional) discussion forums like this rather than spreading to (less optional) services that people rely on. It's why loud racists should get thrown off buses rather than getting to stay there under the guise of 'free speech'.

I don't know if I personally agree with the slippery slope argument, but I think the general theme of speech policing in the software community is approaching flat-out stupidity. Codes of conduct, banned words, stuff like changing master/slave to leader/follower.. I just don't think politics should have a place in technical discussion. If you don't like a project using the word "retard", don't support the project. On the other end of that, if you don't like GitHub telling you not to say "retard", don't use GitHub. I'm just saying that I don't really agree with the general trend, I think it should be left up to developers how they want to behave. If I want to be unprofessional, it's my sword to fall on, I don't need GitHub looking out for me and I don't think GitHub needs to pull people's projects that they've worked hard on just because they don't like the name.
I think trying to police people's code to that degree is one of the least productive things a person can do with their time.
Writing code is fast. Creating a variable calling it [I]Fucktwat[/I] takes no time at all, and at the end of the day it all becomes machine code anyway. It takes a considerable amount of time to filter through people's shit and flag each instance of [I]naughty words[/I] that can trigger someone.
Although I tend to name my things usefully, I'm sure I have several lines here and there that are vestigial and used just for debugging purposes and are probably named retarded things.

for the "WebM for Retards" topic, censoring "retards" is retarded. It's just a word.

I don't think there are any projects being banned for using the word master in their name so it's obviously not the same thing.
It also should be noted that the project in question now has a name that makes it acceptable to be used in a professional environment. If it weren't for the "censorship" that wouldn't be the case.
Banning names might not be the best idea but I've seen several libraries that would be useful for work that I couldn't use because they decided it's worth it to have their name be a pun of the word fuck. And I bet the authors don't really care that much (like the webm for retards's author doesn't). Maybe if they couldn't use that as a name they would simply chose a different one and make my life easier.
[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;49721192]i don't think it's a very professional environment if "fuck" is considered so taboo you can't use a library because it has the word in it, more childish logic honestly.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's as simple as that. Ignoring the fact that different words are appropriate in different contexts is naive. There's obviously a reason people have manners. There's a reason so say hello and goodbye and there's a reason you don't put "made with clusterfuck" in your project description.
[editline]11th February 2016[/editline]
I don't know if banning projects for their names is the right thing to do. I just want to make MY life easier and, anecdotally, this occasionally makes my life easier.

Why does everyone have a geforce card
I'm curious about how well AMD gpus handle branching in shaders vs. nvidia cards. Adding a simple branch in my boxy torus shader almost doubles the FPS.

I seriously cannot begin to express how much I hate developing for iOS. For the life of me, I can't get a simple ScrollView working. This takes me literally 10 seconds to implement in Android: Drop in a scroll view, drop in my content view and voila.. I can scroll through my content, who woulda thought? But no, iOS's genius, innovative constraint system makes it borderline impossible to scroll up and down through some text fields. Is there anyone with experience in iOS that can help me? I'm at my wits end with this stupid thing.

There is no point to draw the line at "slurs" or even "bad words", it's more about the context they are used in. So what the project is called "Webm for Retards", it isn't insulting your mentally handicapped family members, it isn't insulting my mentally handicapped family members, it's making a point that the program offers a service so simple even someone with limited motor skills, or someone who has little intelligence in the subject matter can still do it. Just because it's using a bit of humor in the title doesn't mean it should be banned or forcefully changed.
I'm not to sure about the professional argument either, you, your coworkers and your employer shouldn't be judging a program or toolset by it's name, but at how well it gets the job done. Just because the Graphical Library you use is [del]fuckboy[/del] fuccboiGDX* doesn't make what you do with it any less usable, or purchasable. Sure some people might publicly state they won't be buying it on morals or principal, but it was unlikely they would of been interested in the product anyways, especially if something so minor as a name convinced them not to buy it.
Of note to all this GitHub drama, GitHub has also made some very poor upper management decisions relating to this "selective word filter" they have going on. They're owned by idiots, now.

I always find it confusing when people complain about layout stuff on mobile OS'. Every iOS developer I meet hates Android's activity and context shit, and every Android developer I've met complains about iOS' overly complex, high-ceremony UI engine. Better the devil you know, I guess?
So the BASIC programming content I entered hasn't announced winners, over 1 month after the entry period expired. However, they did address this and stated that they're working on it. There were 166 submissions total, 47 of which were in the category I entered, so that gives me hope as to my chances of at least getting some kind of recognition for my submission.

The whole point of slurs is that they are harmful in-and-of themselves, regardless of context. That's why we have the word 'slur'. Slurs aren't about 'insulting' people, they're about doing actual damage.

No, that was just a standard Emacs command.
Thanks to everyone who sent me a PM. The conclusion is that AMD sucks at branching in shaders big time, while Nvidia cards handle it really well.
I've read [url=https://www.opengl.org/wiki/Core_Language_(GLSL)#Control_flow]here[/url] that shader cores get grouped in groups of 4, in case anyone wondered. I always thought the groups would be much bigger than that.
