Always nice to meet someone who considers me a kid.

I guess the real question is whether people are more or less likely to show up in court on cashless bail, since that is a major purpose of bail in the first place (if you don't show up in court, you lose the money).

Oh yeah, that's also a really good possibility.

And yet you're still here. Thanks.

Says the guy who's never read the source code. What a dumpster fire.

Not you, the systemd source code.

I tried using AI a few times, but the code quality was too low for my taste. In the end, it's faster for me to just write the code than to ask an AI to do it and then to fix its bad code.

However, AI is still a blessing. When I have a specific question, like about frameworks that I know only superficially, it's certainly faster to just ask an AI than to search the web. I don't always get a correct answer, but even with the time wasted trying things that are wrong, overall I still save a lot of time. AI basically allowed me to never go to web sites like Stack Overflow again (which is certainly good for my mental health).

No that is too strong a claim. The best you can say is, "There are people we don't know how to rehabilitate."

Our understanding of the brain and psychology is so weak that over the next century or so, our knowledge is going to increase dramatically. Not long ago, people were seriously doing lobotomies (there's an argument to be made that we are still doing it today, but with chemicals. Certainly our understanding and treatment of ADHD will improve dramatically in the future, and what we do now will seem archaic if not barbaric).

Ideally the recidivism rate should be zero. It's not easy, though.

Your idea is they implemented something to satisfy a law that hasn't passed yet?

It's extremely unlikely that they implemented it so they wouldn't need to think about it again. Please think before posting.

Norway is good, though.

A noble and excellent goal. 90% of Americans can support this (the others are profiting from it).

Ok, sounds like a great thing for computers to do. If they can get AI to help, then great. (Note: the AI isn't going to open manila folders).

Sounds like they are not releasing people with a high risk of recidivism. In other words, they haven't fixed the problem of recidivism, they've just kept people in jail longer.

I feel like the Elon Musk trade is fairly straightforward.

People buy the stock because they trust Elon Musk, and his companies are good enough to continually increase profits or revenue (that is, he's good at avoiding things that scare away investors). Because of that, the stock will continue to go up until Elon dies or retires.

When Elon dies, that's the sign to sell.

If you are writing in C, it's basically essential to use your own C string library. It's easy to do, just encapsulate those things into something more sane.

This kind of thing should be encapsulated in a macro or function so you don't make mistakes.

Using the raw stdlib string library will cause security problems. These can be avoided 100% by using custom string functions.

Looked at LaunchD and decided, 'This would be better if it were done in a Microsoft way."

The only people who say that haven't actually looked at the source code, or are liars. I don't know which one you are.

At least you didn't say "Systemd is small", which it isn't.
