Replied to a post on miklb.com :

I'm still getting spam through public comments. I divert the notifications to a special mailbox and keep on top of them, deleting anything I find, and, touch wood, it may be declining.

I'm instantly adding the -day-of-week code outlined here into my one-line-per-day journal of sorts.

Forewarned is forearmed; thanks.

Intersecting milk cartons is indeed cool, as Chris noted. Equally cool, maybe more so, is the Miuri fold, which I learned about in the Christmas Economist. https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2018/12/18/origami-spreads-its-wings

Dear reporters seeking to impress me,

“Exponentially” does not mean “very large”.

Yours etc.

Chris, I don't know what got you into all this strong names stuff, but I want to take the opportunity to point to my own pet peeve and a fine band, together at https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/eagles-point-the-way

I stopped sharing photo posts to micro.blog because they were being duplicated. Pretty sure now that's because the RSS contains the image twice, as part of the CDATA and again as an enclosure. Not sure whether to fix in @WithKnown or ask @help at micro.blog to ignore enclosure.

Quite by coincidence, I'm sure I just yesterday listened to Malcolm Gladwell and Dave Hill talking about Lords of Chaos and the black metal scene. https://brokenrecordpodcast.com/#/episode-7-dave-hill/

I've always fond RSS indispensable. As for tools creating better ways to surface stuff, Newsblur does allow you to train it, which to me seems more useful than using an algorithm to train me.
