This isn't really efficient because when v2 gets updated now you have to update the translation layer as well.
Any improvements you made in v2 would likely not translate.
Essentially the best way is to provide users with an incentive to switch. Perhaps a new feature or more requests.
I'm locking this post since the same link was the same headline was submitted an hour before this one.
Elon and DOGE took over the Treasury, not the IRS.
He has the power to shut down the economy. Because he wants to.
If you have a major version change, it means that old API calls will break against the new API, assuming they are accurately following semver.
The Democrats will learn the wrong lesson from this: "We need to convince more Republicans to vote for us!"
I had this one user who kept using an old report. It used a terribly provisioned db account and had to be changed.
We created a v2 that was at feature parity to v1 and told users to move off of v1. Slowly but surely it happened.
Except one user.
We put up nag screens. Delays on data return, everything we could go "carrot" them to the new version but they stuck with it.
Eventually I called the guy and just asked him, "Why are you still using the old version?"
His answer, "no one ever told me about the new version."
I asked him if he got our email. He said no. I forwarded it to him.
"Oh."
I asked him didn't you read the nag screens? He said no.
I asked him, "The page doesn't allow you to move on until you wait 90 seconds. Why didn't you read it?"
"I didn't think it was important."
I learned an important lesson that day: never wait for all users to move. Once you have enough, start doing scream tests.
Lemmy really needs to buy ads on Google. I know....Google is just awful.
But doing a search for "reddit alternatives", the first result is reddit.
I'd be willing to chip in some money to get that going.
I've actually given this considerable thought.
The MAGA party seems pretty easy to trick. They don't believe in facts so you could literally be a progressive behind closed doors, so long as you're racist in public.
The problem isn't necessarily the voting bloc. The problem is the Republican establishment. You start voting with the Democrats and Republicans more influential than you will start batting at you. You could fight this by calling out fake news, that your opponents are part of the problem. They are Washington insiders, part of the swamp.
But you really have to have the cult personality to do so.
Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.
The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;
I'm only seeing one source so far. Not mainstream.
