I was going to mention this as well. I am of the demographic squarely aimed at the NeoPets revival (late millenials/early gen-z) and not a single person I know views NeoPets in a good light after they tried to pivot to NFTs.

I'm sure not everyone holds the same views as my friends and I, but I know they burned a LOT of good will trying to make a quick buck.

I don't understand how this is exclusively a men's issue. Now this is completely out of my realm as a gay woman but wouldn't this roughly mean that there is a similar amount of straight women who are single as well? In my experience polyamory among the straights isn't nearly as common as the internet likes to make it sound. In general, millennials (and I assume gen-z as well) are having less sex on average and getting into less relationships than previous generations.

I find it hilarious that by just having fellow women exist it is somehow political... You do realize the overwhelming majority of computers in WWII were women right?

Do you have any source for this? A cursory search brings up nothing for me.

As someone who has done development work with Class A data and specifically in the realm of justice, soft deletes aren't simply a good idea, they are required by law.

Most of these downsides are easily mitigatable issues as well. As many users have stated, something like views solves the issue of forgetting the 'deleted' clause.

Lastly, I'm not sure the issue with foreign keys/stray records really resonates with me. I'd be hard pressed to be comfortable allowing a developer or DBA who isn't fully comfortable with the data model to be hard deleting records, let alone flagging them as soft deleted.

Having grown up somewhere northern that doesn't follow DST (Saskatchewan) I never really understood this argument. Winter months you get so little sunlight anyways I don't really see how it would make too much of a difference.

Mind you this could be because of where I grew up, but moving to somewhere that follows DST I always saw it more as an inconvenience than anything else.

As far as I know this is still in A/B testing as well, and not a fully rolled out feature. I've had a friend with it for the better part of the year, yet I have yet to get the option on any of my servers.

The new ray tracing is being done in real time rather than being baked into the scenes.
