Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but there's no obvious switch to "just turn off all the legacy stuff, thnx".

Also, there has been a huge amount of churn on the tooling side, and if you have a legacy app, you probably don't wanna touch whatever build program was cool that year. I've got a react app which is almost 10 years old, there has to be tons of stuff which is even older.

There is. Break compatibility for it, and whatever poor bastard that is still maintaining software that is targeting a PalmPilot is free to either pin to an older version of your library, or fork it. Yes, that's a lot of pain for him, but it makes life a little easier for everyone else.

This is my philosophy too. If the nodejs project doesn't support node 18, why on earth should I?

Here's the schedule, if anyone hasn't seen it. Node 18 is EOL. Node 20 goes EOL in a bit over a month.

Just to be pedantic, those characters are in 'ANSI'/CP1252 and would be fine in a varchar on many systems.

Not that I disagree — Win32/C#/Java/etc have 16-bit characters, your entire system is already 'paying the price', so weird to get frugal here.

My comment contains two glyphs that are not in CP1252.

And there are many tons more providers who will be happy to take your money while promising to spam google. TFA prob ain't exactly legit, eh?

That's because the article is slop.

Even if it’s not, this kind of business is untenable now.

You be surprised what agencies turn over.

Just pointing out - a lot of snowy areas are very aggressive about plowing (and salting). For most people this is probably like "don't drive tomorrow" and not some need for knobby snow tires.

Even when the road is dry the rubber compound is a lot softer on winter tires so you get significantly more grip than all season or summer in cold temps when they get hard.

Just to add, a lot of the midwestern USA is very swampy.

Ford dropped sedans, they still have plenty of SUVs and other trucks you can buy.

Ignoring who makes it, this kind of gimmickmobile usually sells well for about a year, and then everyone who wants one has one. It was never going to be a tentpole.
