Mumble is fine if you can give up the video portion. My work uses Zoom, but, frankly a conference call would always suffice. I’m very skeptical of the value-add of video in meetings.
Discord really is a high quality service. I remember a friend of mine in either late 2015 or early 2016 told us to give it a shot instead of Skype. This is the same friend that tried to get us to use Mumble and Teamspeak in the past, but we were dissatisfied with the audio quality. We gave it a shot and never went back.

Now, however, I've been very interested in open source alternatives. Not to make them take over, but as a backup option to have around. I think Matrix with Jitsi Bridge for video and audio is the current leading self-hosted alternative, but nothing beats the convenience of Discord.

If there comes a time where Discord gets hit with some anti-privacy/serious censorship issues, then I'll really dive into the alternatives, but for now, they really do a great job (not to mention their medium blog is very interesting).
then you can cheat with an ethernet cable as well...
Why? Factually they are...

Case in point.. I used to run game servers for maybe over 1000+ guilds over the years I was active. Even talking 10 years ago, people were still using Skype for connecting to games... just because it doesn't fit your use-case doesn't mean the market wasn't competing.

IRC was also in the space. Look at the dozens+ IRC servers which had communities built around them... they've mostly migrated to Discord.

I'd love to know your counter point to such an absolute-claim though... because I positively agree with the author.
Man, I kept seeing the phrase 10x better and expected some quantification. It could be 2x better and get 10x the audience because it was sufficiently compelling.

Why? In open source, many communities now have moved from IRC to discord, a very sad move if you ask me. I think it will also become increasingly relevant for professional networking in the CS world.
There is no contradiction between accurately repeating and paraphrasing. You can do either or both or neither. Yes, paraphrasing is dangerous in your context (repeating to a 3rd party), but it's fantastic in the quoted context (confirming understanding with the 1st party, which can not happen if you repeat using the exact same words).

I’ve analyzed the interfaces of Discord and all other chat/community apps as part of research for the UI/UX work we do for clients [1] and from my perspective, the Interface seems to be a big part of the winning factor. It may be just one of the many reasons why Discord does so well, but it’s often overlooked.

Discord stayed miles away from looking or feeling like enterprise software.

Their playful approach makes it fun to be there.

Features are often brought forward as the reason why apps succeed or fail. But humans are emotional beings and how a product looks or feels contributes a lot to the company’s success (or failure).

Is Discord profitable? An estimated $120M sounds like a hefty chunk of change, but I wonder what their expenses look like, especially if they're relied heavily on VC money in the past to subsidize having the servers be free.
Interesting. Frankly, I didn't put much thought into the choice myself. I picked the Mozilla version because I use it on Firefox every day and it seems to work fine.

What is my advice that would lead to this tragic outcome? I'm rereading it and I don't see it. Do you mean my advice to be respectful of individual people who disagree with you?

Privacy has never been more important to the aggregate HN commenter than it is today. Moreover, nothing I said enjoins people from making political statements or protests.
The mainstream news media is actually pretty good at being technically factually correct, but it's so heavily biased that normal people can't see the truth behind the spin. What they take away from a story is the emotion, not the facts. It can be the complete opposite of what really happened.

Subjective language is one way they do it. For example, an organization might have a "culture of abuse". That's not factually wrong but it has no meaning either. When the Christchurch massacre happened, suddenly there was "growing white supremacy". When they want to suggest a person is dishonest, it's "X claims, without evidence, that ...".

Another way is taking advantage of people's inability to distinguish anecdotes from a representative sample. If they want us to believe that crime is increasing, they'll report more on crime so the audience gets the impression that there's more of it. They may even say it's increasing, which it always is if you cherry pick the appropriate time scale.

Then there's using quotes from other people to say whatever the journalist wants to say themselves. A technique for interviewing people is to go fishing for someone to say the right thing, which someone inevitably will if you ask enough people. Or worse, telling their subjects what to say or tricking them into saying they thing they want, perhaps by expressing the same belief themselves and using the human nature of agreeableness to get the subject to say they agree, even if they don't really. Sometimes the quotes are written inline with the rest of the sentence so they feel like facts being asserted by the journalist but aren't subject to the usual standard of accuracy.

I'd say these are more serious problems than factual errors because they're convey high level feelings and overall sense of the state of the world which are being prefabricated and fed to gullible voters so they don't have to think for themselves. With factual errors, you still have to use those facts to conclude something, which is hard mental work.
> How Discord Won

Same way Telegram is increasing its market share. If your service is better than the competitors , provide more features, make it easy and you enter the market earlier than the competitors (this is objectable) , you can win among competitors.
Yes, data augmentation is standard. It isn't new data though, just different variations of the same data. You also tend to do multiple training passes over the data, even after augmentation.

None of that is the point though: a child can look at a single static image (not 100 different perspectives - just one perspective) of a horse, and learn to recognize a horse. A standard machine learning model cannot, no matter how much you augment the image.
In other countries the hospitalizations, transfers to Intensive Care and ultimately fatalities quickly followed the rise in infections.

How long should we wait before we can accept that the increase here is tiny and much smaller than elsewhere?
Some still rely on Discord for the community, finding players etc., but use voice chats from elsewhere. For instance lots of CS players I know used to use IRC to plan games and then Teamspeak for voice chat during the match. Those I know still do the same, they have just moved from IRC to Discord, but TS remains.
Curses, urwid, etc. "Turbo Vision" in the old days.
Yeah idk if it'd be my first conclusion. But I think that's the propaganda line of reasoning. No proof that it's propaganda, but there is a sliver of plausibility.
My child uses discord to coordinate play across multiple platforms, Xbox, mobile, and switch.

Her friends are spread all over the country and they are constant on discord chatting, sharing memes, and messing around with bots. It’s a pretty wild thing to witness.

As a life long techie that got started on BBSes, AOL punters, diablo over dialup I’ve always thought of myself at the cutting edge. Now I watch as kids adopt tech en-mass that I’m not the target for.

Discord hasn’t “won” but they’ve built an extremely strong and sticky offering.
CrowdSec is for all protocoles / system generating logs (can be Cloud trail, syslog, kafka, etc.) and can ban at an applicative, user or IP level.

Discord is indeed the shit. Slack is too business oriented, it assumes that I'm a member of one workspace (my place of employment) as opposed to a member of a shit ton interest oriented channels.

I hate that slack only let's you message other people in the context of the workspace as opposed to messaging them directly.

I legit think that discord will be a really dominant social networking platform.
Indeed, this is why I wrote about normalization in my original answer :)
I spent a bit of time testing the v1 board, and while it isn't without fault, it's the best SBC-based cluster project I've used (haven't personally tested the SOPINE Clusterboard though).

LLVM uses Discord as an alternative to IRC. Discord has a modern pleasant interface. Discord is to IRC as Uber/Lyft are to a taxi company phone number. It however has a weird copyright agreement for user’s content.
It's a winner for the early investors. A winner for later stage investors including the IPO ones? Who knows. People love moving from one social platform to another. Discord might just disappear in a few years just like ICQ disappeared.
It is nothing compared to the money that flies around inside Twitch broadcast chats. Someone buys everyone a subscription to gain the favor of the host. Someone else donates $xxx to get their name on-screen. And it happens pretty far down the long-tail.
I don’t know which edition it was. But I think you are right about content influencing how a system is played. StartPlaying.Games pays good attention to this btw. The descriptions and info about level of RP, Puzzle and Combat are very useful.

That said, from reading about it, I do think that the mentioned Cypher System will be a better fit for me

Discord has the best chat UI and experience of any similar tool. Slack is a close second, and Teams a distant third. If Slack can figure out their infrastructure issues, and undo many of the poor UX decisions from the past 12-18 months, they can beat teams. However, if Discord decides to move into the business world and offer a competitively priced product, I could see that doing very well. I honestly don't know why they'd do that, but a business version of Discord is very attractive to me at least.

I think the point about things visually looking bigger than you is important. DCSS (tiles) has the kraken's as pointed out, but there's also the lords of pandemonium. They're just one tile, but they're about twice as tall at as a normal unit, and visually appear much larger than anything you've seen in the first 95% of the game. I thought that was really effective and obviously the simplest.

Here are some of the basic minor lords. They're the ones whose heads are a little taller than their own square.

Why do chips come into it? Isn’t the process just:

>What rational mind when faced with an impending existential threat wouldn't take a known good solution over a potentially better solution down the road?

Agreed. I suspect the people who claim climate change as an existential threat and denounce nuclear because of reasons like nuclear waste, don't really believe climate change is an existential threat.

>types who oppose it even now because "it's too late now"

They aren't wrong about that because we set ourselves a timeframe of 2030-2060 to completely decarbonize. Restarting large-scale nuclear deployment would take decades and wouldn't really fit within that timeframe.

The brutal reality is that we will not decarbonize by 2060 with renewables - so we keep wasting time by not investing in nuclear. Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe we will get back on the nuclear wagon, because we live in a world that is still growing in population and per capita energy use and there is nothing as energy dense as nuclear.

I'm also surprised that for all the talk about decarbonizing to fight climate change, there is very little discussion on what we need to do to live with the effects of climate change. It's pretty obvious that no matter what we do, we're not going to be removing the existing carbon from the atmosphere anytime in the next few hundred years.
Their use has exploded since Covid in dense cities: I regularly have to use them to fill out pre-screening forms for facilities ("do you have symptoms X or have been in contact..."), see restaurant menus, pay bills (receipt at a restaurant has a QR code printed on the bottom, link to an online checkout on your phone, so you don't have to handle the POS machine), etc.
Come sit on the London underground and watch all the mask-wearers adjusting their masks with the same hands that touch the doors and the seats, incidentally touching their faces. Is that safer? Maybe, maybe not. We could do with some numbers on this but where are they? We've had masks since the herb-filled beaks of the plagues of the middle-ages, where are the numbers?
> Providers of anonymizing services, commonly referred to as “mixers” or “tumblers,” are either persons that accept CVCs and retransmit them in a manner designed to prevent others from tracing the transmission back to its source (anonymizing services provider), or suppliers of software a transmittor would use for the same purpose (anonymizing software provider).

I really feel the author could have used the term "10x" a little bit more.

And I think discord has a strong base now, but I don't think they've done anything that if something better came along they wouldn't be replaced. And they are still feeding off of VC so measuring success again other competitors is I think difficult at best.
Thanks for clarifying and (of course) good luck. For what it's worth, I'm sorry you have to live with that s*t.
"Mainstreaming" was a new concept in education about thirty years ago. So there's almost certainly plenty of academic literature on its outcomes...with the usual caveat that it would be the sort of literature likely to have research to support conclusions versus vice versa.

But really, this is case by case -- or rather individual by individual according to context. If the educational institution is trustworthy, then their recommendation probably is in good faith. If the institution isn't, that's a core problem.

The outcome is going to vary more with individual teacher competence than the student makeup. A good teacher will better meet your child's needs irrespective of class composition. Bad behaviors happen across abilities.

My advice: make the decision at a fine grain of actual teachers and classrooms. If it clearly isn't working out, switch to something else as is your right. It's a long haul from kindergarten to college and it usually turns out alright. Good luck.
There's a lot to be said for low/nonexistent barrier to entry. But like any large platform, such success comes at a price. Discord is privacy-invasive and heavily censored. It is not a viable option for secure communication, but instead tends to be a great place for fluff.

Discord is a running joke on comparatively less-frequented communication protocols like IRC (possibly just out of spite, but all the same).

They have done a great job, certainly, and have accomplished what they set out to do. But I have my personal reservations. I don't like using closed, proprietary communication protocols and would rather stick to IRC or Matrix. Granted, I am not the target audience.

Also the author claims Discord is a "multi-billion dollar business" in the introductory paragraphs but the only figure I see is the 70/120 million dollar estimate from Forbes.

Edit: this link/thread (and lots of the hyper-positive replies that appeared as I was typing my comment) strike me as possibly dishonest, especially since there was a post just this morning about the RCE vulnerability[0] in Discord's desktop application.

There is absolutely no Bash hate here.

If you do an experiment you'll easily find that dash is faster than bash, and since dash basically just a bare POSIX shell with very few extensions, a script that runs in dash is more likely to run anywhere (ignoring the fact that nearly every program you call from a shell script comes in both a GNU and BSD variant, and possibly a more minimalist POSIX version).

So I write my shell scripts to dash, which is /bin/sh on my system (Debian).

If you use Bash-isms, you should definitely not put #!/bin/sh at the top of your script, you should be putting #!/bin/bash

Except for one thing. There was actually nothing keeping that water from flowing except for the delta smelt. The Central Valley went from green to brown in a single year. Nobody else was affected.

Irrespective of the politics of "who should get this water", the reality is that the people who were for protecting the Delta Smelt created an environmental disaster.

It's the same logic that they used to prevent thinning forests via logging and clearing underbrush--and lo and behold we have too many trees and when the fires burn, they're too hot!

It's the same logic that the U.N. used to ban mahogany exports, which led to those countries burning thousands of years of trees to make room for farmland, as it was their only economic recourse.

At some point, the environmentalists might want to ask themselves if "they're the baddies", given that other, supposedly less enlightened cultures have similar ecological situations and different outcomes.
