This comment reeks of entitlement; literally everything you could do before is still possible at your local library. You can still check out physical copies of anything you like, now additionally you can also check out digital copies. Yo

I signed up for ~5 libraries in the US that allow nonlocal registrations, and as a result my Libby account has access to an absurdly large selection of books. It’s super cool how I, person in the middle of the country, can check out a book

Nobody claimed Tesla was selling base models at cost? Completely unrelated to the point.
274.
by Zetice 3y ago
Would be a nice story if it weren’t for the inconvenient fact that Teslas are selling like crazy as they are. Sounds like it would be problem for the consumer, though clearly a solved one.

The price of the product being higher isn't a problem for the user?

That's variance, not intentional.

...can you name one? Because every manufacturer does this.

by Zetice 3y ago
Okay great, but now the lowest cost of the car is an extra $10k because the manufacturing just got a lot more complicated as a result of not being able to build every car the same way.

This wouldn’t be any of that though; you absolutely can “contract away” your Apple account and everything attached to it. This revenge fantasy is not in any way real; Apple can for sure do what they did here.

There is an /etc/hosts on Windows, just fyi.

You know you’re onto something when you get HN comments that say, “this can easily be done by just <list half a dozen tools and processes>”… Very clever, if I weren’t leaving the industry I would for sure grab a copy.

I think his argument is that slavery benefits the enslaved, or something like that.

Do you think this is an important point?

At $0.085 per GB (some us-east-1 exfil cost Google gave me), 10TB is... ~$1k/day? Yeah sorry, I would not pay $30k/mo so y'all could track your external IP addresses...

And a bot solves "general logging" entirely, given the context of the comment I originally replied to. ToS is irrelevant. This is not a problem to any competent user of Discord for the purpose outlined in the comment I originally

None of this changes at all the objective fact that IRC is an open source protocol that you can either adopt in the form of writing a client that's to your satisfaction, or propose changes to the protocol sufficient to resolve your r

"All your problems" when in response to a specific list of problems means "all of the problems listed" not "literally every conceivable problem".

Sorry but you've completely lost the plot here. We're talking about using Discord vs using IRC as a means of capturing company documentation, and in this task Discord is superior in every meaningful way. You could use a bot to

You either have a problem or you don’t; since you complained, you do have a problem, and it absolutely is on you to fix. The “basic human interaction” you are failing to understand here is that you’re refusing to accept your role in fix

Just because you don’t know how to write a Discord bot doesn’t mean it’s meaningfully difficult due to it requiring a different account type, in fact that makes it easier in many respects. And in the case we’re discussing, you run the ser

The client is the “bot” , which you know and are intentionally being obtuse. And your links aren’t in any way suggesting the server logs messages, please try again. But none of this is relevant to the original point that you can 100% obtain

I disagree, he could have made his point more efficiently, therefore undercutting his complaint.

Private conversations are completely irrelevant to this discussion, so not sure why you keep bringing them up. And you did say IRC logged without bots, which it doesn't. You were wrong. And a bot would stay connected to get every

This view takes for granted the effort required to figure out who should do what and when.

by Zetice 3y ago
No, you said third party and meant Discord, falsely presuming Discord stores the content of your private conversations in an accessible way, and in this context in a way that makes it… harder? To publish as documentation (you know, the orig

There is no world in which HN is not a “waste” of time. This notion that HN must only be for “serious” conversations about serious submissions is a wholesale misunderstanding of what HN is.

And what a tragedy that would be. Positively unrecoverable, we might end up remembering we’re not experts, this is not a scientific website, and fun/excitement/entertainment is a good thing.

Why did you italicize a word? Why speak with any emotion ever? Why not focus exclusively on the optimal method of transferring information from one being to another?

Or you could autogenerate large swaths of this just from your schema. Is this entire article basically forgetting that as an option?

You have no clue how Discord stores private messages, and IRC absolutely forces you to use a bot to have logs.
