I feel the same way, when all hope is lost and I have to join a Discord channel for help. Finding the solution via the search there feels like modern day gold panning.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI hope you were a good netizen and posted the solution somewhere indexable.
- ThrowawayTestr 3y agoLike where?
- jl6 3y agoIf your goal is just to publicly document a resolution, stackexchange sites let you post a question and answer it yourself.
- addandsubtract 3y agoThe solution was actually pretty recent, so I'm hoping the docs will be updated soon. If not, I'll submit a pull request.
- technion 3y agoI went through a simulation issue where I spent days on a problem, had a Microsoft engineer asking for logs and generally wasting my time, eventually found it to be a hp firmware limitation. I wrote a page on my own blog about it. Was I a good netizen? Because I can only find reddit threads of people being unable to solve it with a google search.
- pavel_lishin 3y ago> I wrote a page on my own blog about it. Was I a good netizen? Yes! Although I don't know why search engines aren't picking it up. But at least you can point people to a blog post, instead of telling them to join a discord, and try to search their archives.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoI would assume because Reddit is so heavily prioritized that without quoting the blog directly you’d need to pan through 6+ pages of crud to find it.
