it is all spam; none of us want to see any of it, why do we need more fine grained control?

That's not necessarily unreasonable, depending on which provider that is.

Sites like Wikipedia also block entire ranges to prevent spam. Unfortunately sometimes people do get caught up in that (as I did last year).

Xfinity (Comcast) support is non-existent and actively lies to me about promotions or what I will be billed. Every time I call them to dispute, they waste an hour of my time and either throw me a $10 credit that I'm not sure is even getting applied. Different departments don't know about what the other is doing.

I'm now getting charged $70 for international calls I did not make.

How can I escalate these issues? Can I just cancel all association with them cleanly by reporting them to my credit card company? They seem ok with atrocious service because of their monopoly. Why do we put up with this blight?

With email spam it has been long proven that best way to act is to treat all actors as malicious. As there is enough malicious actors around.

And it took me a minute to find phishing mail with unsubscribe link. Which entirely proves my original point. Sure those sending phishing mails won't stop the mails I probably ordered somewhere?
Well, if all this R&D investment gives us clean energy for the next centuries at affordable cost, it is an improvement right? And we don't have to cover our land and waters with solar farms that have their own externalities (limited lifetime, waste, harmful materials, etc).

> I mean, that's true, but in a not-especially-deep way that doesn't really help or address the issue at hand.

I'm not sure you go the point. If someone's complain is that others can also edit wikipedia articles, they are complaining about the fundamental nature and purpose of a wiki. Don't you understand how fundamentally flawed is the concept of conplaining that others just like you can also edit wikipedia? Those damned editors.

> Why do we have this thing where different people can edit it?

Yes, others can edit it, including your own changes. That is the whole concept of a wiki. Whining that others also edited a wiki shows a fundamental failure to understand what a wiki is and how it's designed and expected to work.

> So, while yes, anyone can edit, some of that gets in the way of the actual purpose, in that "five whys" sense.

No. Anyone can edit it as they see fit. The whole concept of a wiki is a consensus-based process that concurrent changes converge to a stable point accepted by the community. Expecting that your edit should be set in stone while you reserve your right to edit other people's work is simply absurd.

That's why it's important to clarify what an editor really is (not a figure of authority, but a guy just like you) and why it's absurd to be offended and feel entitled to edit over everyone's work but not have your own contributions edited. That's not what a wiki is, nor is it why the concept is a huge success.

> It's a bit like saying, when someone brings up spam (...)

That's an amusing remark, because to me you're actually arguing in favor and in defense of spammers, as they are the ones complaining that their abusive misuse of a system should not be prevented, criticised or fought by the community.
Absolutely fuck all.

I've been running my infrastructure meetup for almost 9 years, and it was fun to see so many similarity of lessons, as well as drop off nrs which match my experience exactly.

My advice is to keep your meetup at max 40. I've done 20 and 130 and once it goes above 40 it starts to become a chore instead of something fun.

My other advice is not to overdo it. Focus on good speakers and the rest will follow. Unlike the guy in the article, I have new sponsors every time and rotate the venue every time to try and diversify the attendees. Over time it seems like a nice, core group will form, which will slowly grow with new people discovering and liking the format and content.

Not really true. Many spams (at least in the past) used to include unsubscribe link, either for faked-legal-compliance, to give some illusion of legitimacy of the mail/originating company to the recipient, and/or to track who is actually receiving them.

But if you landed in a mailing list, there are quite high changes that the unsubscribe link is legit.
The problem is, how these things sometimes go is: you are fed up of ads so you start paying them. Then a year or two later you get ads as a paying user too. There’s a long history of paid products doing this. Look at Windows, Smart TVs, etc…

As someone who has been doing 7 days a week 10-12 hours for the past 30 years and never had any issues and still get up happy, well rested and no stress, I think really your job should be your life in this case ; I mean my work is my hobby, my wife works in the company as well. I don't really can see another of being. I could've retired nicely over 20 years ago but I really don't like the stuff most people spend their days doing.

But the point is, I guess, it's not the hours; it's that somewhere you are still getting stress or discomfort from it and that's the problem. 10-12 hours a day leave 4+ hours for the gym, games, etc and 8 hours for sleep. I cannot see how that ever can amount to lack of sleep? Work/life balance is another thing; if you have kids this doesn't work, if you don't, it depends on how much you need I guess.

When I was growing up Riksmål was far more conservative than what I spoke despite the fact that I spoke fairly conservative Bokmål, and it was still somewhat more conservative than how I wrote. I've not paid much attention to Riksmål, but I'm vaguely aware they've moderated themselves quite a bit.

However a quick check with Det Norske Akademi's dictionary shows that both my spoken and written Norwegian is still not full match for Riksmål, though I see they've pretty much "surrendered" and even accepted some -a endings, so it's getting close-ish.

Maybe in another couple of decades.

The "you don't" is leaning on the idea that if you actually know what you're doing, an internet comment saying you don't isn't going to dissuade you. If you aren't confident enough to ignore an unequivicol "you don't understand this", then you definitely don't know enough to mess around with this. (The converse, of course, isn't true. There's always going to be someone who is still overconfident enough to ignore it even without having enough knowledge).

Why does even Windows use both terms if, as some want to claim, they have the same meaning? Why does Wikipedia state they are not the same thing?

> Clojure does have significant drawbacks. It has a small engineering community and no (broadly-accepted, successful) static typing system.

I tried to dabble with OCaml multiple times in the past, and what I didn't like was the overly strict type system. I spent more time trying to please the compiler than writing the code. With Clojure (Common Lisp and C), I have more freedom to bend the compiler (type system) to do what I want it to do. Sure, there are pros and cons to that, but I don't want distractions when I write the code. It may be my style, but I meet numerous people who think the same. I believe (static) type systems are a matter of preference, and another camp thinks otherwise. However, it is always lovely to have opposite camps around because we learn a lot from each other.

> Working with JVM primitives can be frustrating without dropping to Java; I do this on occasion.

Rich (Clojure author) mentioned multiple times that Clojure is a hosted language, so it is OK to jump into Java when you have to (or javascript). IMHO, this is one of the most powerful features of the Clojure ecosystem because it is way more pragmatic. I've seen numerous attempts to re-implement the same thing repeatedly in your favorite language just because you don't want to touch "a library written in That Other Filthy language because it is slow/insecure/not-flexible/you-name-it". This was/is very frequent in Common Lisp but also in the Rust communities.

I am not sure what a web framework is, to be honest. The choices for many parts of a web application are really domain-specific and I'm not sure a single "framework" would work for everyone.

As far as web-related components go, my app uses Rum (as an interface to React), ring, http-kit, pushy (for history manipulation), sente (for websockets), buddy (for authentication tools).

If you are looking for a batteries-included "I want to have some sort of webapp right away" thing, I think https://kit-clj.github.io would fit the bill, but the general feeling in the Clojure community is that unlike Python with Django or Ruby with Rails, the choice of app components is not predetermined by the language.
Sadly too late for many it would seem.

I stopped chasing JavaScript jobs. I would rather be unemployed than go back to framework nonsense working with a bunch of emotional liars. I say emotional liars because most of these framework trend chasers put up a super confident front like sales people but most of them are extremely insecure and have no idea what they are doing. A true case study of Dunning-Kruger.

Now I only look at clearance required positions because that job market is still hot and many of the people doing that work have no delusions about who they are or what they are doing.

(This is a rant, i get what you’re saying)

I just disagree about me being the issue here. Sometimes I want to make names. They are basically documentation. This is just so normal!

Like you can’t just say everything should be written in a point free style. There are times that is more clear and then times where having a name to a value makes subsequent code clearer. Especially given that Clojure has some of the world’s most anemic comment support (no real multiline comment support without futzing with forms? In this economy?)

I do agree threading helps by making things more pipeline-y at times though. I just feel like being punished for verbosity is annoying. The verbosity is punishing enough, just let me write it!
So are "pegg.ing" and "rimm.ing". But don't worry, you can still have "fist.ing".

Most any UPS that has a user replaceable battery can be swapped to 12v lifepo4 batteries. they won't likely fit, but I took the two 12v lead acid batteries out of my UPS and extended the wires out the back and to a new shelf that holds two 12v lfp4 batteries. You should get 12v lifepo4s that have built in BMS to protect them from over/under charge. Mine works great and I added a lot more watt hours to it. The only thing that won't work well is the battery level percentage indicator since lfp4 don't read the same as lead acid.
> Giving the organization very clear rules and goals from the start and making wide range correcting changes towards them even when they hurt the whole organization.

I'm not sure you noticed it, but the people complaining about "editors" being toxic are actually those who are confronted with these "very clear rules and goals" already specified by the community , and they are calling foul once they see their edits being edited based on these established and time-tested processes.

And by the way, wikipedia supports conflict resolution processes which can culminate in articles being temporarily blocked to prevent endless revertions. You just need to flag the article and ask people their opinion.

It's strange how this whole debate centers around abuse, offers all kinds of solutions to perceived problems, but not only fails to acknowledge these processes are already in place in Wikipedia for over a decade but also they don't even wonder what content was added by the editors complaining their edits were reverted. I mean, think about it for a second. Do you think wikipedia achieved a notable level of quality because all edits, regardless of their content, remain untouched in place as-is?
How does it compare with other tools like flask and django?

> too many people think “blameless” means no accountability for doing bad work

No, that's still somewhat blameful.

If you had stuck with "blameless does not mean no accountability", I think you're right.

But the emphasis of the article specifically does not assume people do bad work on purpose:

> assume the individuals involved had the best of intentions, and either they did not have the correct information to make a better decision, or the tools allowed them to make a mistake.

I'd like to hear other takes on how accountability plays into blameless culture.

You're absolutely incorrect about this. What you're saying may have been true a long time ago but it's 100% wrong now. In 2023/2024 you should click unsubscribe links.

No matter how spammy a sender is, an unsubscribe click is a big signal that they don't want to contact that email account again. It takes time and money to warm up a domain, prepare it for outbound email, and keep it from being blacklisted when you're sending out a high volume of mail. The days where someone can just spin up an email server in a couple of minutes and blast hundreds of thousands of people with spam are over. If you don't manage your reputation you'll get blacklisted in a matter of hours. The #1 way as a mailer to manage your reputation is to respect unsubscribe requests.

Yes, clicking the unsubscribe link indicates that there's a real human checking the mailbox. But data resellers have many ways to verify the validity of a mailbox that are more effective than this one. And unlike this one, they don't indicate that the person dislikes receiving unsolicited email. So very few data resellers use unsubscribe clicks as a way to verify email validity, because if they do they'll be polluting their product with the emails of people who are likely to get pissed off by unsolicited mail, report it and get a customer's domain blacklisted. If the data reseller is selling "verified" data that is getting his customers blacklisted - he won't be in business for much longer.

It's worth pointing out that not all unsolicited mail is illegal. There are exceptions carved out in US CAN-SPAM and in other jurisdictions. If you're a business in the US the law is basically that people can send you unsolicited marketing emails whether you like it or not, as long as they provide an unsubscribe link and respect your request if you click it. To not use the mechanism that is explicitly required by the law for your protection is shortsighted.
Besides potential licese issues (that may not exist), legally creating the hashes database is a big effort as access to an near-all-encompassing song library is required.
The difference is that you can reject a low-stakes answer that's invalid. You can tell that something is off, or it doesn't matter.

Basically, and AI can give ideas but not advise.
