is there any difference to just saying "old tree"?


Old trees are not necessarily old-growth trees. A fallow tree farm left to age has zero old-growth trees, regardless of how old they are.


sounds like a self-inflicted problem really. Why do you even change stack that much if what you want is a simple functionality?


Lets put it this way. Now you have an extra viewing window when your not turning on the tv


It's not extra, you'd be replacing the existing window you already look out of.

Either way, windows are not generally the focal point of the room, you'd have an awkward viewing position.

Most likely the sun would be an issue too, the TV picture would only really be visible during dusk/dawn/night.

Also do you have shutters behind the window so outsiders don't see your screen or...?

I don't see any sort of practicality.


I can see this working in a glass house, which aren't that uncommon...some new buildings really go on maximizing window space on a skyscraper so that you don't really have a wall on the exterior (more common in China than the USA for sure). See for example:

https://www.luxurychicagoapartments.com/blog/luxury-design-e...

If you could turn the window dark with an exterior black out shade, you could have a TV on-demand without completely ruining your view.

It is a very niche use case though, but one I've thought of before when looking at some newer luxury housing that goes for big windows on all sides.


andddd it got deleted....


The title alone is already contradictory


Even without reading the article, you can imagine things like "Runner A beats runner B in a sprint. Runner B beats Runner A in a marathon. Which one is faster?"

The title suggests that different VPNs are fastest in different measures/tests, so no single VPN is clearly "fastest" in aggregate.


yes, the article suggest that. Not the title.

The equivalent title for your analogy would be "Runner A is not the fastest runner, but neither are the others"


Dead format??? Lol im not sure where youve been these last couple of years to not notice it, but 16:10 screen on laptop is definitely on the rise.


The faster battery life deterioration might even be desirable for those manufacturers with planned obsolescence in mind, especially phone manufacturers


because every time this happened, I will always think, great, now company gonna waste another resource for the benefit of the stupid, careless, lowests common denominator, and absolutely no benefit whatsoever (or worse) to people with common sense.


Is it really a waste of time for Github to target the site instead of the users?

If anything, Github already wasted time by targeted the user into a victim, rather than the original source of the API call.


I didnt say that. Dont put word in my mouth.

Punish the site. But dont bother wasting anymore resources to protect the stupids. Its their own action, let them be accountable for their own choice.


Bad actors exist everywhere and manage to get even distinguished security people at times.

What you're doing is victim blaming. The phishing/scamming equivalent of shouldn't have been walking down an abandoned street at 1am in the morning.


no. its called deprecated API for a reason.

Its deprecated


shrug To do my actual job, I have to implement on deprecated APIs all the time. Deprecation is a declaration of intent, but intent rams into reality and changes continuously.

There are two types of deprecated APIs: ones nobody uses and ones everybody uses. Sounds like Mozilla mis-guessed on which one of those Shadow Dom v0 would be.

(From my limited experience: I bet while the Chrome team was trying to deprecate shadow dom v0, YouTube, which still operates as a pretty independent arm inside the Google ecosystem, built a new system on Polymer and in terms of Google's management architecture, nobody has authority to tell them not to do that. Far from an intentional shafting of other browsers, it was likely a failure to coordinate internally coupled with total apathy regarding what that meant for other browsers, since from YouTube's point of view, Chrome is free and available to everyone.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by disorganized-bag-of-cats management style).


The dynamics of open source and closed source software business is just very different. Try to understand that first before comparing apartments.


I mention that difference no less than 3 times across three comments.

Learn to read before typing.


If thats all there is your understanding of open source and closed source business, then youre a fool.

An ignorant hardheaded fool, with head in the sand like an ostrich


> Open Source is not a panacea for a project's leadership having shifting goals. It definitely doesn't hurt, but when you're talking about taking on incumbents like Unity and Unreal, it won't be easy to recover if "W4" starts losing focus because VCs want to do VC things.

You can tell who in this conversation has an intelligent take pretty easily.
