@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)
@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.
@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.
@Aknorals are you talking about Hoppeans or?

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
