- azinman2 6y agoGo through what? Why would you take down the post as it’s probably useful to others?
- untog 6y agoHacker News can be a cesspool at times. One important thing to always remember is that unless someone posted their article to Hacker News themselves they might have had absolutely no expectation that a huge audience was about to descend and dissect everything they wrote. They might have just been talking off the cuff, mentally noodling around or even just using the process of writing stuff down as a means to sort their thoughts. Far too often HN commenters work from the assumption that an author is intending to make A Big Point and very uncharitably deconstruct every sentence the author wrote. It's only a matter of time before we see a reply along the lines of "OBVIOUSLY 10.15.4 did NOT break SSH, the author just didn't do X Y and Z to fix a very OBVIOUS mistake in their SSH config". > Why would you take down the post as it’s probably useful to others? More broadly, Tyler doesn't owe the world anything in this regard. If he wants to post it, cool. If he wants to remove it, cool.
- notRobot 6y agoThis is so true, I wish I could upvote this twice. I've been on the receiving end of this too, where something I wrote in the moment without much thought ended up at the top of HN with a whole lot of criticism.
- saagarjha 6y agoI often do a pass to Hacker News (and Twitter, and Reddit)-proof topics which are not highly technical but are likely to appear on here.
- tylerhall 6y ago> it’s probably useful to others? That's my intent. I'll put it back online for others to find once the fuss dies down.
- bspammer 6y agoHey, not sure if this is a side-effect of you taking this post down but I was interested in reading another of your posts about B2 vs S3 Glacier and am getting "Error establishing a database connection". https://tyler.io/followup-comparing-my-current-b2-storage-costs-against-amazon-s3-glacier-deep-archive/ https://tyler.io/followup-comparing-my-current-b2-storage-co... Actually now I look at it, a lot of pages don't seem to work. I guess it's just the classic Hacker News friendly DDOS.
- psaux 6y agoI wouldn’t trip at all. There are great folks on HN, and you can tell from comments who are the sour ones just because. I personally enjoy reading your posts. I worked at Apple for a long time, loved it. I still use their products and want to understand what bugs exist. I use SSH daily for many things.
- awinder 6y agoThe post was excellent, I’ve been locked away from Catalina updates now that my work mac is my primary Mac so I like keeping abreast of all the little gotchas I might be hitting. And it’s a great debugging chain for something that is truly weird. Sorry you’ve had bad past experiences here, the quote gave me quite a chuckle
- hoistbypetard 6y agoWow. Yes. Sorry to see you take it down. I liked the post and was just amused by the one line.
- kgraves 6y agounderstood. in line to respect your wishes I encourage everyone to flag this post. dang, join in if you must.
- fmajid 6y agoI was wondering if it was because you were afraid of retaliation by Apple.
