Why is Threads at the top always bold?

p-himik13:09:09

Either Slack client glitched or you have some unread thread.

Apple13:09:25

It has been like that for days after I read all threads. And I'm using browser

p-himik13:09:58

Standard deal - clear the cache that the Slack tab uses, clear its local storage, clear cookies, relogin, try again.

p-himik13:09:09

You can do all that on a per-domain basis via DevTools.

Apple13:09:34

Here? DevTools > Application > Storage > Clear site data

p-himik13:09:28

I think so. You can inspect individual items stored in the storage as well, just to make sure that they're all gone once you press that button.

Apple13:09:52

yep not working. edge/chrome/ff all have the same issue.

p-himik13:09:21

If there's nothing in the "All unreads" section and there's no "Mark all as read" option anywhere, including in the relevant context menus, your best bet is probably to write to Slack's support.

emccue14:09:35

happens for me too - i've given up on figuring it out

Apple15:09:01

yai yai yai, problem solved.

dorab15:09:52

My understanding is that this behavior is a consequence of the free Slack plan. If you have unread threads that have "expired" (past the free Slack limit of number of saved messages) then you cannot individually access the items to mark-as-read.

seancorfield16:09:35

(and to head off any suggestions about upgrading Slack for Clojurians, that would currently cost about $8k/month and no one is going to pay for that!)

Apple16:09:47

It was 1 or 2 days only in my case the threads.

Stuart16:09:13

away from home, and I'm getting 700Kbps download here

Stuart16:09:18

even downloading java is taking forever

Apple16:09:25

pretty good compared to a campground where unstable 10kbps

noisesmith16:09:46

I hate that woodsy names are so popular among hipsters around here that I first assumed "campground" was some saas provider / host

planning to work from here for a week next week... maybe better if I tether to my phone and just eat the data costs

hiredman17:09:01

when your normal work flow is ssh into a vm and run emacs, it is a lot nicer to ssh into a cloud vm and run emacs then watching maven download the internet over a slow connection

Stuart17:09:33

Any NIkon DSLR owners use Sigma lenses ?

Stuart17:09:56

How do you find the quality compared to Nikor stuff. They seem to be quite good savings.

Stuart17:09:49

Or what sites do you trust for reviews of stuff like camera lenses ?

mauricio.szabo00:09:37

There's a YouTube channel that I found the reviews really useful - https://m.youtube.com/user/christopherfrost

dpsutton17:09:09

i remember having a sigma 50mm that was just as good as the nikon 1.4 version. perhaps a bit sharper and contrasty. don't think i've had experience with others and its been a few years now

dpsutton17:09:29

it looked like the current 56mm that they sell and not like the current 50mm so perhaps they've changed the lineup

Stuart17:09:48

I fancy a walkabout lense, something like 18-105 or something

Stuart17:09:45

I have a 35mm, a 50mm, a 28-80mm and a 70-300. BUt I find myself when I'm hiking wanting something wider than 28 but when I'm in the city I want more zoom sometimes. Thinking of takinga drop in quality and getting a zoom with more range.

seancorfield17:09:41

What's the price difference between the Sigma and Nikor equivalents there? (it's been years since I bought any new lenses)

Stuart17:09:29

It can be significant (to me), hundreds of pounds from my research so far.

dharrigan17:09:41

The only review site I know of, that I used a long long time ago (but no longer into photography) is

dgb2321:09:52

found kind of funny talk (2014) by Dan North. He mentions Clojure at around minute 46ish: ā€œClojure has parens, thatā€™s most of Clojure right there (ā€¦) because itā€™s so simple they went ā€˜this has made programming too easy, we should learn Emacsā€™ā€ šŸ˜„ As someone who tried to adopt Emacs about 2-3x and failed, I can attest! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqgwHXsQA1g

I still haven't learned emacs

marciol22:09:09

my strong habits around vim, not only bindings, but the way it works, makes me fail in every attempt to use Emacs, so Iā€™m happy now using Vim, and when doing Clojure, I use something very similar to inf-clojure and that is it.
