The issue I see is that it limits the usage to those associated with Academic Institutions. What if you're a data scientist, or an interested person, not working in Academia? Any research you'd want to do and publish isn't go

The issue is you're going to have the ignorant customers calling Netgear to complain their brand new router is not secure if their browser highlights it for situation #1. Same for an untrusted certificate. The risk with #2 is then an a

Telemetry is necessary to be able to observe the system, and look for adverse impact. You should be more thoughtful to the people supporting the tools you use, because without telemetry they do a bad job keeping it working for you.

I'm not sure a solution that solves 100% of the problems, with minimal to no side effects, is a poor solution.

Google Voice native integration with the system dialer. When I click a phone number on a webpage or in a text, I can dial it from my Google Voice number. It doesn't seem as seamless on iOS.

+1 on all of this. I really prefer that https://github.com/pkg/errors is outside of the standard library so I don't need to use the fmt.Errorf abomination.

If the full conversation is retained what's the functional difference?

Downside is that it's additional infrastructure that someone now needs to be on-call to support and pay for. This is the main reason we aren't considering leaving Slack.

Because Slack's product assumes you have an HR department, and that's an HR issue.

I have another thread I commented on where I discuss Discord very briefly. Most times I used Discord I'm hella annoyed, Slack just has me slightly frustrated sometimes. To each their own, but the Discord UX doesn't do it for me. T

Seeing that the context menu that comes up has about 20 items, I can't personally agree. Overall I hate using Discord and wish it was more like Slack in some ways. Better yet, take me back to the days of TeamSpeak when my Voice Chats h

It is to me personally, as I use it to find answers to questions I don't know the answer to. At a minimum, I can point them to someone who had a similar problem in case they solved it.

I've myself set to Offline permanently on Slack to try and deflect some of that. It seems to have worked for the most part.

I think we need to be explicit, Slack isn't always conducive to the needs of open communities. Some of its features are extremely friendly to users, like having the possibility of full message history retention and mobile apps. But the

I think if you make it clear the channel is logged it's the best you can do, since they can choose to partake in the conversation or not. No forcing function. The downside comes when you've a Netsplit and you lose one side of the

Get your session key that's embedded in the HTML body after you log in. Be careful with this key since it has no expiry and can impersonate you as if you were connected via the default client, including undocumented API access. Find so

I use Discord all the time; it's a mess. Its permissions model is complex and hard to reason about, obvious UX decisions in Slack that make for a good experience aren't present in Discord. Like being able to click on someone'

More than you'd imagine. Someone may be strongly against a feature, library, or tool and their presence in a channel focused on that thing may not be ideal.

As I mentioned, in our community we have some deal with Slack so that we are paid (up to a point) and have full message history retention. Search can also go through all of those messages too. This is extremely valuable, and is a selling po

Well, in general you can also ignore people on IRC, you can ban people from channels, and some IRCds support restricted DM permissions which require a user to share channels with you and be _validated_ to message you. We don't have the

As I understand it, to support things like timed bans your only options are undocumented APIs which can change at any point in time. So while some things are documented and possible, not everything is and that's not the level of suppor
