That is interesting, assuming that it isn’t what it appears, perhaps it is a language barrier, since Yandex is Russian, they might have just come up with a special class of triggers, and didn’t realize the they were using one of the most offensive words in the English language.
That’s probably too charitable of an interpretation, but I could see myself making that mistake against another language.
You know what, I take that back. Looking at what the code is doing, that feels intentional. It looks like they replaced the term slave, and I can’t see a situation where you would replace the word slave with that word accidently.
I’m afraid it’s a common synonym for slave for many people. It’s not always a question of racism, it’s a question of analogy. Noone would think of it as something happening today, you go back to those days with your mind. It’s like you say “you’re sadist like an inquisitor”. That does not mean all religious people todays are disgusting people. English and american people feel probably more guilty using that word cause it’s in their recent history compared to Europe where it happened during ancient history.
Yandex isn’t just Russian anymore. It partially belongs to Ukraine and its developers as well. Aren’t you aware?
You are completely wrong.
So tell me where does your info come from?
And are you trying to say there are NO Ukrainian developers working for Yandex???
Before that, please provide sources that ysndey partially belongs to Ukraine and is not “russian anymore”.
Are you thinking that anything that originated in Russia must be some homogeneous mass that can only be contained there?
My friend works for them. Guess where he’s from?
And why is it such an unbelievable thing really? Is it not possible for a giant company to employ people from different backgrounds? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable knowing that some Russians and Ukrainians still work together? I’m quite perplexed it’s even a debate at this point. There’s nothing to argue about, mate.
How does the fact that it employs some people who aren’t russian make it a less-russian company? I’m from Canada and at one point worked for an American company - did that make it a Canadian company? Your premise is invalid.
You made a statement that yandex is not Russian company any more and partially belongs to Ukraine. This is bullshit. Read Wikipedia article about yandex, it’s “золотая акция” (golde stock) and who owns this “stock” noe, read about its official status of critical company for Russia. Then go to russian IT communities and read how yandex became more and more “controlled” by the government.
