Yes, I see your “scientific studies” and “meta-analyses,” but have you considered my vague hunch about human nature based on shallow, self-flattering introspection?

Similar to the problem of people speaking to each other in person without corporate fact checkers involved.

Clubhouse poses major challenges for fact-checkers since it doesn't keep old posts, audio files, or allow users to record conversations. https://nie.mn/3aOeUni

@cn All that said, if I'm writing a service, I'm reaching for Go more often than not. I moved to OCaml over the last two years for PL R&D and day to day Swiss Army knife stuff, which has been rewarding, but I've found it inferior to Go for a range of different tasks.
@cn speaking as user since 1.0:
- core team is increasingly high-handed and dismissive (most of the other issues stem from this)
- grafting RubyGems on top of the package system was a bad idea
- there is a dangerous crop of unfixed compiler bugs nobody plans on fixing
- the idiomatic way to do things like variants is incredibly kludgy
- channels are a huge footgun for new people and the tooling around them is still primitive

@eiaine what kind of miner are you running?
This is profoundly lame, but we'll have to live with it
Turns out you can't fake aggregation effects and as long as a critical mass of people are addicted to Twitter not much is gonna change
IMO x-posting from Twitter significantly degrades the experience here

Given Signal's recent popularity, I'm super stoked for the inevitable months-long deluge of articles hinting that Signal must implement encryption backdoors, written by people who use Signal every day specifically because it is free of such backdoors

We probably shouldn't elect a king every four years. Directory government makes a lot more sense. Enforced collegiality works well in Switzerland.
