>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

yes

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!

but also amazing things built by community

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

hasn't stopped 'green' parties from shutting down nuclear power, so it's all a question of PR

re: 1; since payments processors compete for business, ones that can convincingly claim to reduce fraud rate can charge higher fees of the merchants

It takes pretending to be someone you're not from 'a prank' to 'fraud', and as such is actually valuable

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

if it's the best offer you can get, would you quit just because someone else on another continent is being paid more?
