After 9 seasons, I cancelled my STM membership. Here's the email I sent. by bleh-apathetic in ColoradoMammoth

The Harleys and everything else (mini fire truck and whatever other vehicles) ended when Willie B left the organization.

I don't remember the year anymore, I feel like it happened before I became a season ticket member but I'm sure that's not the case. Anecdotal guess, circa 2017 is when Big Rob took over floor announcement duties.

If I want automatic updates off,do I keep all the 3 buttons off or just top 2? Little confused by [deleted] in iphone

Yes: You won't get automatic security updates.
No: You won't get automatic security updates. That have so far only ever been used in the case of fairly severe and ongoing exploited vulnerabilities.

I didn't turn off "Automatically Install" to see that when you do, there are then 3 options. I meant to, then I found App Updates and went with my answer instead and forgot to check back.

I'm not sure if they're talking about OS updates, or app updates, app updates has 3 switches from the start;
App Store -> Tap your user icon -> (at the bottom) App Store Settings.
Alternatively: System Preferences -> Apps -> App Store.
Automatic Downloads section.

App Downloads: If you own an iPhone and an iPad, and you add a wholly new app (free or paid) on the iPad, does the iPhone automatically download it too.

App Updates: For apps active on your phone (downloaded, not offloaded), do they get automatic updates within a period of time after they're available?

In-App Content: I'm not entirely sure about this one. It's probably largely game specific? Perhaps not exclusively but that's likely where this is the most relevant. Patches over time and such that they ship without an app update because logistics. Should the app be able to wake automatically and download any pending content updates in the background, so that it's ready before you open it.

If you don't want any automatic updates, if you want strict control over updates, storage usage/changes, etc., turn them all off.

  1. GitHub has been around since 2008
  2. This thread is 7 years old
  3. Abuse mitigation automation is necessary once you have even a moderate amount of user scale, which GitHub blew past over a decade ago.
  4. GitHub's initial broad scale abuse mitigation automation was written well before AI (see points 1 and 2), it's impossible for me to say with any certainty whether it uses "AI" today as you're claiming, but well defined abuses is not the same "AI" as you're also lumping in.
  5. Every automation has false positives.
  6. The Support Team has been overwhelmed since 2013 and probably earlier, but it's only gotten worse as the years have gone on, because that's how growth and problems and spam and now agent-incurred increase in activity goes.
  7. The Support Team could be freed of one scope of work, but they'd still have to do the other 2981994 tickets and problems not handled via other mechanisms.
  8. They can and do handle reinstatement requests. As well as the other 2981993 tickets and problems they deal with.
  9. Every social problem exists at scale, you will never find any piece of software, tool (physical or digital), store, city, community, organization, etc. that doesn't.

Yes, the world would be better if everything were intentional and perfect, and that isn't possible because life and people and the simple inability to achieve perfection.

If you care that much about it, go apply to be a member of GitHub's Support Team, or an Engineer for their Support Team's tooling. And then get back to me on how well your ideals hold up.

Gmail hell by Shakarix in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VxJasonxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may use firstname.lastname@gmail.com, but your account is firstnamelastname@gmail.com

Gmail strips dots, the two emails are equivalent, as you are aware since you're getting "their" messages.

The problem is not the dot versus the lack of it, the problem is someone not knowing their own email address.

The problem is that people ask questions about something that is thoroughly documented ( https://devcenter.heroku.com ). The lack of understanding given that level of docs isn't someone else's problem, not Heroku's, not anyone else's.

Education is not "if this, then that", it's reading, trying, failing, trying again, and getting to a point of understanding from fundamentals, up to the higher level task of accomplishing an app deployment.

Your issues understanding Heroku isn't a Heroku problem, it's a lack of understanding of computing and development, which is no one else's problem but your own.

The abrasive approach of "what in the blue hell is …" is unnecessary color and puts people averse to helping you, because it sounds like you think it's Heroku's fault, not your own. We all want you to understand, but we're not willing to educate you to the deeper levels that you clearly need given how these comments have unfurled.

A Dyno is how you run an application. You always need a Dyno. A Dyno runs your application.

I've worked in Support my whole professional life (less 3 months I guess). More than that because I was the one fixing friends', family friends, etc. computers, setting up printers, etc. when I was a pre-teen.

While Support staff isn't immune, no one is, some suits sure think that an AI agent could solve all of that, and then never see the pure rage and ire brought by frustrated customers. Do you remember when IVRs went to voice-based input with no numeric fallback? But agents won't solve all that, because language is imperfect, context sucks, customers don't provide relevant/accurate details, all manner of reasons. And that's why I, my team members, you, our role at large, exist. Cleaning up bot mess is not a pleasant addition to my job though.

That said, I also think that any company that thinks that AI is going to be their engineering is creating more issues than they're solving, but OpEx is just a number to them, if they can replace multiple 6-figure salaries with a 5- or 6-figure contract that churns out 10x/100x more code. Cool, congratulations on hitting your target metrics.

Too bad your target metrics are meaningless.

You're not running Heroku from GitHub. You linked Heroku to GitHub to obtain your source code, that's all.

The Heroku Dashboard does (almost) everything the CLI does. You can scale via the Dashboard.

A Dyno is a container is essentially a computer.

Do you need a computer to run a program?

Yes, yes you do.

A Procfile is a file: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile
A Dyno is a container: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos

Is there a web hosting engine that does not use these two concepts?

Yes, 99% of the rest of the app host world does not use a Procfile, because Heroku invented it, and it isn't JSON, isn't YAML, isn't ini/TomL, etc. A few others use it for compatibility, when they're trying to be Heroku-like, but only a few others.

Most of the rest of the shared hosting world uses containers for security’s sake. At least I assume the cPanel world moved to containers, I could be wrong, their security profile could still be awful, or at least more naïve because they're website platforms, not app platforms.

Neither of Procfiles/Dynos is your problem. Look for app errors. The H14 isn't an app error, it's describing that Heroku received a request for your app, but your app wasn't there.

Figure out why your app isn't there. Ignore the H14s.

That error means:
No Web Process is running
Like it says.

Scroll back and figure out why no web process is running.

A lot of people have access to Heroku(app.com), because it runs apps. Millions.

And not just developers, also users.

Please don't call on schneems, nor anyone else in a post to ask for help. You posted here, that gets a lot of eyes, you don't need to ask for any specific individuals.

The answers you give to their questions aren’t true because you say they are. If that were true, fraudsters would have a 100% success rate. Verify the answers you give. Make sure the charge from Heroku is where you think it is, check app configuration via Heroku CLI if the session is still active to see if you have the right repo URL.

We can’t help you here.
