So to be clear, someone is spamming the Clojure reddit with these stupid fking shirts and using some sort of bot army to spoof the likes right? Cause there's no way (the last one) legitimately got upvoted to 12 in 3 minutes

Yup. It's frustrating. I keep reporting the posts as spam but they keep popping up. I don't know whether Cognitect can do anything about it from a legal point of view, on the basis of the copyright violation of the logo?

more likely to be a trademark issue than a copyright violation.

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant.

(I'm distracted by what I'm watching on TV 🙂 )

understood - ianal too!

But if Cognitect do have a trademark on the logo, they could go after the store where the T shirts are being sold perhaps (although I suspect it's outside US or even international law?).

I also just noticed not just this comment on it

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

If you have unfortunately bought anything from this spammer's link, be sure to check your account statements closely for bogus charges and consider reporting your credit card as lost or stolen.

This is NOT a redditor, this is a CROOK, THIEF, CRIMINAL whose sole purpose for being on reddit is to scam you.

I have filed multiple copyright violations about this on the store, and reddit, and twitter

but it's whack a mole

the store immediately removed it as dmca, but it's tedious

Reddit at least has moderation, right? Can take the posts down.

yeh, still a whack a mole though, I've seen them take down a million of those

hi people, I started a project not so funny and I wanted to at least choose a proper strategy for it. My service basically provide a simpler interface to access a third-party service provider, therefore I am doing many api calls, saving data received from both ends in database and doing upload/downloads of pdfs in S3. very nice (Y). However, the nice part is about interpreting the messages these external services give me. docs missing in s3, third-party off, third-party was not able to do X, error in writing to database.. so on.. there are several "branches" after a call that I can follow. I thought of using a state machine to control all this. you guys have any suggestion? (I am doing a POC using a rules engine too just to see if I can model it there)

;; Option 1
::routes {:index {::path "/"}
          :home  {::path "/:id"}}
;; Option 2
::routes [{::name :index ::path "/"}
          {::name :home ::path "/:id"}]
