prologic: yeah? well it'll be migrated there by someone if that's really the best place for it within that family of sites |
| 13:25 |
|
pdurbin |
frankly, IRC is better for discussion |

"At Stack Exchange, one of the tricky things we learned about Q&A is that if your goal is to have an excellent signal to noise ratio, you must suppress discussion." http://blog.codinghorror.com/civilized-discourse-construction-kit/ |

heh yeah |
| 20:01 |
|
prologic |
I agree with you |
| 20:02 |
|
prologic |
IRC is the best :) |
| 20:11 |
|
pdurbin |
IRC is the worst form of discussion, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. |

contradicting yourself? :) |

prologic: did you check out that codinghorror post? Are you a believer in Discourse? It is really that much better than previous forum software? |
| 20:29 |
|
pdurbin |
I mean, in addition to this channel would it be nice to have Discourse or some other software for discussion? |
| 21:21 |
|
prologic |
no I'm no fan of Discourse |
| 21:23 |
|
prologic |
and no I don't think so |
| 21:24 |
|
prologic |
not only do you end up creating multiple ways to discuss/converse |
| 21:24 |
|
prologic |
it adds no value really |
| 21:24 |
|
prologic |
a lot of these fancy ass pieces of software don't solve the one problem with conversation |
| 21:24 |
|
prologic |
noise |
| 21:24 |
|
prologic |
so the simplest is often the better IHMO |
| 21:25 |
|
prologic |
if you like put a nice web irc client on the website |
| 21:25 |
|
prologic |
IRC is easy and simple |
| 21:25 |
|
prologic |
some companies/organizations even choose to use IRC for their "Live Chat" and "Support" |
| 21:25 |
|
prologic |
via a web ui |
| 21:25 |
|
prologic |
but underneath it's IRC |

one of my long-term projects is to read in all these forums, comments, social networks, etc. and get them in a single format. |
| 21:43 |
|
sivoais |
That way I can read them over NNTP if I want. ;-) I did that with Facebook, but I haven't updated it in *years* |
| 21:47 |
|
prologic |
seems like a waste of energy ;0 |
| 22:24 |
|
sivoais |
yeah, it is. That's why I haven't gone back to it. I want to get at the data to play with filtering, but I need to think of a way to do that with the least amount of code. |
| 22:43 |
|
sivoais |
Internet-wide killfiles seem like a good idea at times :-P |

sivoais: I have a script to pull down IRC logs: https://github.com/crimsonfu/crimsonfu.github.com/blob/master/bin/logfetch.pl |
| 22:45 |
|
pdurbin |
I've been meaning to extend it to pull down logs from all the IRC channels listed at http://wiki.greptilian.com/haunts and then index it all into Solr or ElasticSearch |
| 23:39 |
|
pdurbin |
well, maybe not all the channels. but my favorites |
