I'm not sure if "click" is intentional wordplay or not, but if it isn't, the word is "clique" FYI.

I'm also strongly of the opinion that tying core business functionality and information transfer to a third-party chat application is a massive footgun, and other than the fact that I use it out of business needs and not just for voice, I think s/Discord/Slack/g applies. I've both heard Discord described as "Slack for hobbies" and Slack as "Discord for the employed" (although obviously it's not a perfect distinction and I've seen e.g. Netrunner groups on Slack and e.g. some startups communicating through Discord).

That said, the number of teams and departments I have either encountered or heard about from engineering friends elsewhere whose primary - and sometimes only maintained - deployment interface is a Slack command clearly means that I'm the dumb one for trying to work the UNIX philosophy into most of my life's tools and nobody else is blinking twice about vendor lockin and memoizing solutions in a chat application. I just try and take any question/answer that was sufficiently obscure or anything asked more than once and shove it in an "OAQs" ("occasionally asked questions") on Confluence or whatever the knowledgebase application du jour is, but it still feels like teardrops against the ocean sometimes.
> Those not robbing the country are those who are to poor to move money to another country.

Let's look at some real world countries. Places like Venezuela and Syria used to have reasonable approximations of middle classes before they turned into hell holes. Middle classes that lived off honest work.

> Where should they go? A first world country where their 2 cents aint worth shit?

First, the price level differences between poor and rich countries aren't that large.

Second, even if they were, you could still go to another country with a low price level that was better run. Eg moving from Venezuela to Bangladesh would be an improvement.

Third, if you come from a poor country and manage to first world country, the real price is that your labour will be much more productive there.

To illustrate the first and third point, just look at all the people who come from poor countries and move to the US illegally.

The jump in earnings is so large, that they even endure illegality and working menial jobs.

Is there a concrete reason that we can't build a search engine for discord public content? Archive it?

We used to do this for IRC as well. Anyone remembers https://ibot.rikers.org/?

> Also, a dime here and there doesn't pay for a middle east bureau or a team of reporters to cover an election or a war.

Check out Patreon and Kickstarter some time. Sure, that's way more than "a dime" for the basic individual contribution, but the dollar amounts are still very manageable. And it all adds up.

> A world where we pay journalists directly is a world without editors, where you can't trust any information to be vetted at all.

You can pay people for editorial work, too. Ultimately, you're just choosing whom to trust.
> it's still pretty obvious that Mozilla is better on privacy and user rights than Google is.

'better than Google', after Facebook the #2 privacy violator on the plant isn't much of a bar.

> And it's OK to want better than Mozilla. It's OK to want a company that takes more hard-line stances and that pushes harder on its core browser.

Mozilla claims to be that company, and that is why I have a problem with all these issues. Once upon a time they were the gold standard, that's no longer true today.

I wonder always whether the ad buyers genuinely believe that someone is up there to watch an ad, or actually even with extremely low return ratio per money spent they still manage to get measurable more sales in return.

Maybe few times in my life I was remotely considering buying something because of an ad, while 99,99% of them make me switch channels, or mute the TV/radio until they end. I'm ad blind on social media, not to mention I use ad-blockers wherever I can.

To me it's like buying thin air, and how this market is able to get serious companies spent millions on it is beyond me.
I'm running Kubuntu on my laptop, does anyone else have the issue where KDE doesn't save grouping preferences? Every time I unplug and replug my monitors at work, I have to set my taskbar panels to not group again.
pull is "default" in that everyone gets taught to use it and you have to unlearn that once you realize it's not what you want most of the time.
> their operation becomes unprofitable

That assumes that everyone needs to spend more than they get in crypto for it to be worth their while. If I had $100, and I gave it to you, and you gave me back $80, that would be a bad deal for me, right? Except if that $100 is "dirty", and the $80 is "clean", that might be worth it to some.
> These people annoy existing servers members and get angry replies because people are so tired of answering the same basic question multiple times a day.

From the numerous Discords I'm on, this problem is either fixed by making the members answering have a mindset to always help, or by using a bot with canned responses.
It's difficult to know, because sometime the course have 100 students, and each day different students make questions to each TA. My guess is 10%-50%, but it depends a lot on the major the students are.

One of the useful trick is to write an optional homework exercise in the blackboard. I get a lot more of answers than just selecting an exercise from the official list. Sometimes it's just an exercise from the list with different number and sometime it has an intermediate step to make it easier. But writing it in the blackboard increase the chance the students will write it down.

Another trick is to write an old midterm and then go to each desk to talk to the students about what they are doing. We usually write the solution at the end of the class, and have some discussion about it, but the useful part is the discussion with each student (or small group of 2-3 students).

> That would mean the person paying you have to get the bitcoin from somewhere. Doesn't really change the underlining problems of conversion. Unless the one you work for is outside the system. Which in large scale is probably pretty unlikely.

You are right, but I don't see how (at least in principle) earning bitcoin this way is harder than earning USD this way? They both originate outside the system.

In practice, USD are much easier to get your hands on at the moment, and they are harder to trace. Especially as cash.
It just needs to export to html every 24 hours and dump that on a server; then it's indexed by DDG and Google etc. It's not like that costs money or anything.
In git, "merge" is a local operation: it operates on two branches already available in the local repository. In order for you to incorporate somebody else's changes, they would have to first push their changes to you, or ask you to pull theirs.
Discord "won me" over the voice chat. It's just so easy to use and setup for people. I know it's a hard pill to swallow on HN but NOT everyone wants and/or can run their own TS/Mumble/Ventrilo server. That's the number 1 reason Discord became popular in gaming groups. Want voice chat for your WoW raid? 2 clicks. Going to play CSOG with your friends? Here is the voice chat channel.

Discord is not perfect for sure (the search function is atrocious for example) but more intuitive and easier to use than the other options. And you can also stream, share screen, rich embed things etc.

> And even if I've got the definition wrong, the oil and gas producers are creating huge amounts of value that are being captured by other actors in the economy (like me).

That's how all market transactions work: Whenever you buy something, it's because the value you derive from the purchase is higher than the price you pay. All business has this value-add aspect. When you buy a jacket so you don't freeze to death in the winter, that doesn't mean you are beholden to the clothes manufacturer for your life.

There is no solution as far as crypto goes. People keep pretending NFTs are art. They're just a digital certificate that has no further blockchain implications. The rest of the "contact" is outside the blockchain and is as typical and problematic as all other contacts and promises in the past.
Check out Discourse, which is a proper, modern forum and a way better experience.
Disclaimer: I'm not a successful founder/entrepreneur (but who's really going to claim that?)

But: I think the real motivator is if the idea solves a problem the founder is personally experiencing.
Discord also has a search feature, and it works across channels.
I mean that if asciinema examples in the readme tends to get outdated (ed2: "stale") , they should be kept up to date via CI and (probably) be part of the integration tests; if a commit changes the ux/interaction tests should reflect that, and documentation should be easily (automatically) updated?

Ed: like if you for a web app have selenium/browser tests that somehow also takes screenshots that become part of the documentation?

I'm not suggesting getting rid of OOP or switching to functional code. I've seen far worse horrors on "functional" codebases. Rather I'm merely complaining of something I've seen happen in practice, from companies that are "proudly OOP". The moment you turn a tool into an ideal, you end up with a mess. Doesn't matter what it is.

You're too hung up on the square vs rectangle example. It's just an example. Replace it with a big tree-shaped UML model encoding business concepts, and it's the same problem. Business concept relationships are a DAG or even an undirected graph and no edge in that graph should be given "preferential treatment" (as is the case for inheritance relationships, since they form a tree). The moment you do, you screwed up, and people do all the time.

I mean, people aren't really keeping up with the top posts 3 weeks ago on HN, reddit, or twitter. That's why reposts are so common.

The first two are easily indexed by google, so that's one advantage. Twitter has a site-wide search. Discord doesn't (yet?) have such a thing, but I think the focus being private communities might keep that from happening... unless they get bought out and some MBA says "how can we better get clicks?"
Discord is a wonderful program for real-time communication and asynchronous conversations. But are either of those use-cases how you want to provide a help system?

Imagine if Stack Overflow was ephemeral. If once you asked a question, the question and answer slowly faded into nothingness for everyone who wasn't actively on the system when it was asked? And anyone who wanted help had to ask again, while the experts rolled their eyes going "Ugh, we answered that like a dozen times already!".

It's a different use-case. It requires a different tool.

Make sure you read the "beware of clones" section carefully. There are some real shysters out there. Even the official UK reseller of the "lesser" sub 1GHz NanoVNA has been caught shipping cloned crap that doesn't even pass self test or work properly on multiple occasions.

On to more optimistic things: these are really good. My neighbour is fairly deaf and has her television obnoxiously loud watching snooker until gone midnight. I asked her politely to turn it down before and was told to fuck off. So as it's on digital terrestrial broadcast TV and we have a shared antenna, I looked up the channel and frequency and set up a fairly narrow band sweep across it and connected the NanoVNA to my TV feed line. She got fed up after about 5 minutes of it cutting out every couple of seconds and turned her TV off.

That's not what I bought it for but that has been my favourite use so far. I originally purchased it to test some 70cm HT antennas.
>NFTs were advertised as a way for creators of digital content to monetize their work, but without some authority that verifies that the seller owns the copyright, the system cannot work...

If only there was a system, or an authority, like an independent body, that would do it's due diligence and verify the provenance of things... oh wait.
Surely then a stalker just needs to be bright enough to make up a story like "I put it into my bag or wallet when I go out, and since I only have one tracker I often move it between them depending on if I have much cash." rather than "I got it for my cat"? That story took under a minute to come up with, I imagine there are even smoother ones a stalker could think of with 20mins effort.

Or at the expense of making it a little bigger, superglue something like a usb stick and you've always got an excuse to have it in your pocket until you "lose" it. Hell, isn't not wanting to lose a coat that you claim to often leave places a good enough reason to have one in your pocket?

On the facet of risk towards a particular form of cancer, it might be an awful hand.

On the fact of mental health, it might be a better hand than others: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/religious-u...

At the moment, since mental health seems to be a bigger issue than cancer (according to the media), it’s not trivial to define what an awful hand is :)
NFTs we’re originally created with the idea of the NFT itself would have utility (ex: the NFT itself is the game license or the TCG card), and not just point to some off-chain asset.

If the NFT isn’t accepted by the intended on-chain contracts then it’s not authentic. In this context ‘authentic’ means that it will be usable for its intended utility, and contracts will identify whether tot hit has utility in their system based on which address created the NFT.

Instead of looking at the creator’s address all the time, incorporating Decentralized Identity can make the process more human-friendly.
I didn’t even know this was humanly possible
This always happens, people don't bother reading old info. Discord simply lowers the barrier to ask questions. It's probably a net positive overall.
The issue comes frome people shoehorning Discord as a replacement for forums. Like a subreddit is a nice place for discussion and it's free. Discord is a chat app, not a forum app. It's about real time communication. In popular discords you can often just be ignored and they have to deal with the same stuff asked every single day.

If I want to share something cool then I'd rather post it on a forum because you don't need to be only at that exact moment to see it. If I want to report a bug then I'd rather use a forum. If I want to ask questions then I'd rather use a forum.

I love Discord, I think it really disrupted the industry. But a real-time chat app is not a replacement for a community forum.
Discord search is unfortunately garbage in my experience, so it's almost like not having history.

This is the part of NFTs and crypto more broadly that I struggle to understand. What exactly about car registrations or licenses needs improving and how does a crypto token do that? A drivers license is already relatively difficult to forge, and for verification there is already a central registry of them, so where does the token come in?
You're just proving my point without realizing it. If your attitude is widespread in Germany then truly its people have failed to learn anything from the past. What a total failure by the Allies that would represent. Your argument boils down to "you may make analogies to Nazi-ism unless I happen to dislike those analogies, in which case it should be illegal".

Don't you realize that making comparisons to the Nazis is only useful before it gets as bad as Treblinka? If you literally have to wait until people are being rounded up and killed before you're allowed to say, gee guys, this looks kinda like Nazi-ism, then it's far too late. If that's the case then in fact you're not learning from the past but rather, forbidding learning from the past until the point at which it cannot matter.

The Nazis were horrific partly because they did forced medical experiments on people. Regardless of what our ruling classes try to claim, the mRNA vaccines are in fact experimental and people are being forced to take them. That is a policy straight out of Hitler's playbook. Making that comparison is not trivializing what he did, let alone "denying the Holocaust" - which is a complete non-sequitur. They're doing the opposite of denying the Nazi's actions, they're directly calling attention to them.

I think you should just face the music here: you don't like the yellow stars because they're a direct assertion that a policy you support is evil of the type seen in the past, and that therefore, maybe you are evil. Man up and argue why it's not marching in the same direction despite the overt similarities. Don't try and claim anyone pointing out those similarities are "denying the Holocaust" because that's quite evidently not true.
this is helpful.

None of these things are even remotely true, therefore wokeism (by your definition) can be dismissed as nonsense.
It's interesting that SIMD came to the mainstream 25 years ago and compilers, our apps and PL tech are still quite far from effectively utilizing it outside nonportable manually coded SIMD aware compute kernels in glorified assembler. There are some exceptions like ispc and GPU languages like OpenCL and Futhark (GPU people say "cores" when they mean SIMD lanes!)...

On the order of $1 per KB for Bitcoin IF it allowed transactions to embed arbitrary data, which it doesn't. Spreading bits of data over many transactions is MUCH more expensive.
Discord forces you to be online or nothing. You can hide the "server" within some folder but your presence is still online.

If you truely wish to depart you need to leave the server and to return isn't an easy task; as to be able to get back in to the room you need the invite link which has it's own set of caveats. At the same time people tend to think your gone for good.

Unlike IRC where if you desired to step away, you could close the channel and reappear at your own leisure and still continue where you left off. If you returned regularly you end up being known as a regular. IMO the current pitfall of IRC is that it's plagued with idling.

And the days where I could post my own non-https link to a funny image are gone; it feels that most are now self-conscious of cliking linked-content from none-mainstream sources. How did we end this way?

I work in the manga/webtoon localization industry, and all files received from the original publishers that aren't TIFF are INDD or PSD. There is no choice but to use photoshop and indesign. Recently, I had to cough up money for the pricey indesign server in order to be able to ingest the .indd files en masse. There's no other choice. At first I thought I could do it with a mix of humans converting to .idml (the xml zip slightly less proprietary format) and my own python!... but you still need indesign for that first part, and after weeks of python, I gave up trying to parse that nasty mess that is idml. Now I run an ugly indesign js script that also talks to photoshop via bridge to create workabke files. It's disgusting and I pay the adobe tax, but it works.
P.S. protip: never export images from indesign using any other option besides PDF, Indesign's built in image renders are awful for manga. Tune all the pdf settings so there is no quality loss, then "print" the pdf to image using ghostscript
Discord being a black hole for information is a feature, not a bug. It's for in the moment communication with some asynchronous applicability. But if you use it as your primary source for community-created information, you're using it wrong.
