A question I asked 14 years ago on ways to sanitize database queries in JavaScript was moderated two weeks ago as violating rules. I lost reputation points for the moderation and more for having the points from the question deducted.
First, why aren't they simply archiving anything over X years old? The fact that this question from 14 years ago was open for moderation is crazy. Second, who has so little to do that they're hunting down ancient questions to moderate?
I edited it to ask, instead of for the best way, some ways. The edit was rejected. I gave up and have no interest in ever asking or answering questions there again. It's just too random.
FWIW, I haven't been active there since 2021. When I was on the Amazon Alexa Developer Education team during lockdown, I used to answer Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) questions between breakfast and morning stand-up. But since I left the team, I haven't worked on a product with that kind of question volume there.
This was inspired by seeing a job description that said "no job hoppers." I thought "tell me you have employee retention issues without actually saying it."
There's a "Pictures in Boxes" comic about the internet stealing content on his page. It doesn't name the author or link his site on the image or in text.
But since the use is not for the page author to comment on the comic itself, but the comic is used to support his discussion of another misuse of IP, does it constitute fair use?
The page author is going deep on the content misappropriation theme and on what constitutes fair use, so it seems oddly ironic he'd be so seemingly cavalier about using someone else's content on that page.
I just installed Google's plugin. Used to be that they only put ads in the sidebar, but this is new. OTOH, I made like $13 bucks overnight with the traffic this drove. :-)
I'll look at my options to control location in the plugin. Right now it's just letting them "optimize" placement.
Mostly, I've had a half dozen blogs over the last 26 years. This might feel spammy because I recently migrated from a static site back to WordPress, and have been slowly adding back old content from that site and the one it replaced, so there's not a ton of content right now.
I did. I'm also tracking those in a spam section of each update.
If you want REALLY bad options, post to Career Builder. Last time I did, I got approached about jobs in insurance sales, door-to-door sales, and cashing checks for forging rings.
