>That deprecated usage should be replaced before it is removed; and if we're talking about skipping multiple major versions over a long period, the replacement likely didn't exist in the older version, so this method still wouldn't work.
the answer to that problem in this approach is to do multiple step upgrades, rather than skipping
serious frameworks/languages do not remove methods in the same version that introduces a replacement, that's the point of having a deprecation mechanism in the first place
The Boots theory is funny because it's absurd. It's not actually applicable to life in powerty. There is no class of items where if you are poor you spend more on it than when you're wealthy. People in poverty spend more _time_ on things, yeah, but not more money or money per use.
but since they charge the same prices to holders of credit (2% fee) and debit (0.05% fee), users of credit cards are de facto subsidized by cash/debit payers in the US
so as an individual it still may pay you to have one
>It's so inappropriate that in the field that's actually trained for this, they're disallowed by compact, even with extensive evidence.
The field trained for this is not refraining from this because it's hard to get right, but because it undermines the privacy promise they give their clients! not an argument applicable to people who do not have that professional reputation to uphold.
Of course you should speculate about mental health of people when it's relevant to the topic - it's a factor heavily shaping many people's behaviour!
I remember the first time someone built a dedicated server for WC3 custom games (dota) that supported players reconnecting after a dc. it was mindblowing
roll to disbelieve. i think someone was pulling your leg
especially the bit with samsung devices, i've had the misfortune of setting up a samsung phone for a family member and the amount of crap on those is just unbelievable
how do you figure it's of little use? big difference between breaking in to loot a house you know is unarmed, versus one known to be armed and possibly keeping watch
obviously no one has issues with this scenario where both employers know. but the recent overemployed scheme where you get multiple jobs, do nothing for months while taking advantage of remote & people understanding that it takes time to get started, then look for a new job once you get fired from one - that's clearly abusive & wrong
You spent some amount of money on the car, money that you would otherwise have available to either spend or invest, when you eventually replace your car you will get less if anything. So even if the car just sits in your garage you are paying for it (or really already have)
this might be less than you would be paying for renting a car (or more! depending on how often you'd need to rent), but it's obviously not 0
> Car extras are already very much a thing and always have been – the alternative is that BMW physically has to remove the heater components or disable them permanently, so as a second hand buyer, I'd be permanently locked out of the upgrade. Forcing the car maker to have to physically neuter the hardware out of "purity" strikes be as something a bit silly.
this is buying into a market differentiation approach that I see no reason to tolerate
it's one thing to differentiate by installing something extra (at cost) to charge a price higher than the cost to some market segment. sure, do that as much as you want, makes sense
pretty sure we've all been in school, and while it's not a great experience, you can work with it
i'm pretty sure amazon's optimizing the work more so that my shitty thing gets delivered at all, rather than 0.002 seconds faster. which is very valueable to me, as it happens
