spam update

With some help from the python.org postmasters over the weekend I figured
out why some seemingly obvious spam messages seem to be making it to the
py*********@pyt hon.org mailing list. Messages gatewayed from Usenet don't
pass through the spam filters. Mailman simply distributes them. There is
still no resolution, but at least I understand the cause now. For now,
mailing list users please be patient as we try to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Thanks for looking into this
Google needs to blacklist email address from posting here if the post
is obivously spam.
i have been flagging every post i see that is a spam,
and every body else needs to do the same.
Thanks

This message isn't spam or an advertisement or trolling. I'm considering farming some of my application development to offshore shops (I'm in the US). I have absolutely *no* experience w/ this, and therefore I'm looking for comments, suggestions, etc. on how to go about this w/o getting screwed. My current application development is primarily database-driven apps in C++/C#, so I'm looking for programmers w/ up-to-date skills.

I'm working on a reset password script for my CMS, that will generate a random password and email it to a user when they request one. The problem I am having is that the mails being sent out are beign marked as spam by our internal mail system and never reaching users' inboxes. I've also discovered that Yahoo Mail considers these mails to be spam, but it moves them to the spam folder instead of just dropping them. I wrote a simple...

RonI think most of us are annoyed by the recent SPAM messages that Roncrept onto our list. I'd like to suggest a possible solution, and Ronmaybe start a thread that eventually will rid us of this Ronunpleasantness. RonMy idea: RonOnce every few messages from the list owners, they would send a new Ronnumerical string that will have to be included in members' list Ronsubmission. A message being submitted without this numeric string

That doesn't mean that we should depend on you to block 100% of the spam. We need to take some responsibility on our own systems too.

This exact explanation was given to the list over six months ago (in April) , along with the message that there's nothing that we can do about it.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
