Right. So what's the point of having @deprecated tags and a deprecated fail mode if you can't ever use it?

At this point if you/your company is still using Flash I find it hard to sympathize with you. How did the company come to the conclusion that using Flash was a good business decision? It's been largely unsupported/disabled

If you do the above, your prod servers will always run in "deprecated allow" mode because developers continue to use (and add new) deprecated functionality. That's what the article is attempting to tackle. Why not use profan

Excess Mortality is a tool used to attribute deaths to _the pandemic_. It is helpful for answering questions like "How well is <country> handling the Pandemic?" and for comparing performance between countries and compariso

In fairness, the only real moneymakers from that list are Overwatch and Hearthstone. We could maybe add WoW to that list due to the die hard players still paying a subscription (if that's still a thing?) but Warcraft, Diablo and Starcr

I'll bite: the energy density of sunlight on average is something like 1.4 kW/m^2 If you put down a square meter of solar panel, weigh it and run it for an hour to get an equivalent wh/kg and compare to almost any other energ

They rate USA 75% for corruption, and the (ex) British colonies as 100% for corruption. What does that mean? Is literally every single transaction in those places corrupt? "Out of 4" seems like a very poor way of doing this kind o

So in the past some people took solutions to this problem to the extreme because they'd decided a certain set were "surplus to requirements". Obviously you're not advocating for that. Given that we are historically piss

I feel sad that so many posters here (and people I know in real life) seem to have such a myopic obsession with the idea that (homeless) people might use literally _any_ amount of money on Alcohol or other substances. What is the deal with

I would be very interested in seeing some sources about "at scale" UBI corresponding to a drop in GDP. My impression is that no countries have come anywhere close to having a UBI program that could be considered "at scale&qu

That's a fair point: if study subjects can't/won't adhere to the protocol why would we expect real world participants to do so? Either the study subjects adhered to the program and the results showed (little to) no impro
