  • From a project management perspective, if this feature was causing frequent test failures and required extra developer time to regularly debug these failures, then removing the feature is cheaper than maintaining it.

    If very few people use a feature that has a measurable maintenance cost, then it would make sense to remove it.

    It seems unlikely that new features or updates would affect this one, but we don’t know. It hardly seems worth lamenting though, since we’ve already left Reddit.

    As someone who has had 8 different cats over the years, I can verify this is not necessarily true.

    In my experience it usually meant the cat preferred running water over standing water in a bowl. Sometimes it meant the cat didn’t like the size or shape of their bowl.

    Sometimes it means your cat is a defiant nut who doesn’t like things you put out for him, but will gladly drink out of the dog’s bowl, a glass of water, or the toilet.

    Not that it helps people who literally can’t afford it… But dental “checkups” are primarily about doing the cleaning, which is for preventing issues before they get that big. Identifying existing issues is secondary, but the regular dental appointment is doing more actual work than your typical physical examination.

    Which is why most dental plans cover regular cleanings entirely, but you need to pay out of pocket for any other work you want. They would rather pay the entire cleaning bill every 6 months than pay part of your root canal once.

    It feels like old 2-d shooters on NES. You’re just expected to memorize patterns in order to win. So you have to die a couple times to figure it out, but it’s just tedious to me. I enjoy things designed for you to figure out on the fly without requiring dying in your first try.
