- bencollier49 8y agoThey want them to last for less time. Perhaps that's the right word.
- mykeliu 8y agoI think so as well. The intent of this write-up is explicitly to advocate for a practice to "Expire cookies early". "Depreciate" might not be the perfect word, but "deprecate" is outright misleading.
- christophergray 8y agoDepreciate is an intransitive verb. It does not take an object such as cookies, but refers back to the subject. So short GOOG now.
- jasonkostempski 8y agoOne of my earliest memories of professional programming was talking to another dev, many years my senior in experience, about a "deprecated" API. They insisted the word was "depreciated". I didn't push it for the conversation, but afterwards triple-double-checked I wasn't crazy. Nearly 20 years later, I still feel I might be using the word wrong.
- drivingmenuts 8y agoI die a little inside every time I see 'commerical'.
- jasonkostempski 8y agoI imagine the Urban Dictionary definition to be "A comical commercial" :)
- tarboreus 8y agoYes.
