@Gankra @steve it’s an absolutely ginormous foot gun but there’s nothing stopping you from doing in! (And even regular templates are dynamically linked in that their symbols are weakly recorded and the runtime linker arbitrarily throws out N-1 of the N addresses rather than complaining about duplicate symbols)

@Gankra @steve “Templated C++ functions cannot have their implementations dynamically linked.” wait this isn’t true though? PCL uses external templates a bunch in concert with a explicit instantiations to speed up compile times via dynamic linking the template implementations

@redmp @lindsey filled out the form. Oddly, it appears to collect email address 3 times (once via Google login and twice by text entry)

@redmp @lindsey library / runtime side, but there would definitely be some advantages to integrating it at the language level. My biggest annoyance is that Scala/Dotty’s macro facilities weren’t expressive enough to implement the transform automatically from a class definition, and the type signatures get pretty noisy when applying it by hand.

@lindsey @redmp a good chunk of my dissertation is a transformation from pure functional trees into lock-free + wait-free concurrent mutable implementations with cheap snapshots.

@dan @ricci @shriramk @dwallach it can do basic rhyming but has no understanding of metrical structure or almost any other poetic device (alliteration is another one it barfs on, even if you try to hand hold it)

@Aknorals my experience is that most of the accounts advertising themselves as ancaps are actually Hoppeans and/or NRx doing psyops to convert the handful of actual market anarchists who haven’t gotten bored with arguing over the definition of capitalism.

@dev @irene I personally feel betrayed when I search for boba and only coffee places show up

@regehr @steve @comex @shriramk even where you need tree data structures, plenty of use cases where you can improve coherency and reduce the working set by storing levels within the tree densely and calculating offsets into the next row

@DrKen@dmv.community well as far as I know they aren’t taking our photos to post on cat social media

Spoiler for Star Trek (Deep Space Nine) 

Spoiler Warning (#StarTrek)

It’s not the moral short comings of the main characters that makes “In The Pale Moonlight” one of my favorite episdoes.

It’s the fact that Captain Sisko sacrificed his integrity in the name of the “greater good,” only to have it blow up in his face—only to realize later on that the scoundrel he hired used evil means to ensure the plan succeeded.

His rationalization of his wickedness was an attempt to clear his conscience, but he figures it’s a small price to pay to save billions of lives.

Basically it’s an episode about hard decision, & while I deplore his actions, it demonstrates that we have to be willing to bear the consequences of our choices.

A very good episode overall.

My suggestion for political leaders is to avoid the insipid rhetoric of unity tonight. Unity is the furthest thing from mattering tonight. Justice would be good. Actions to dismantle police’s capacity to murder citizens would be better. #TyreNichols

Me, encountering literally any podcast recommendation:

"This sounds really interesting. I'd sure like to read a transcript of it instead of listening to it."
