FreeBSD 10 iwn problems
- brudgers 11y agoAnother way to disseminate this sort of information is to ask (use the error in the title) and self answer the question on StackExchange Linux (https://unix.stackexchange.com/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/) because StackExchange does SEO on it's answers, the content is Creative Commons, and the URI for the question and answer is likely to remain stable...more so than the typical personal website.
- cperciva 11y agothe URI for the question and answer is likely to remain stable...more so than the typical personal website Considering that my personal website has been around for longer than stackoverflow, I'm inclined to disagree with you here.
- brudgers 11y agoI was aware of the possibility when I wrote what I wrote but I wrote it anyway because I was giving general advice. The method used for discoverability is burdened by the information being siloed. Good information stuck in silos was the problem Spolsky and Atwood set out to solve. Forum threads and blogposts and pagerank are a suboptimal way to disseminate technical information (yes, I drank the Koolaid). On StackExchange answers are open source. If the answer is wrong, anyone can edit it. This is particularly important because correct answers at |t1| can become incorrect at |t2|. Versions change. Heck, answers can even be edited to cover corner cases. This seems a better way to handle the "duty calls" for technical issues.
