On: Choosing death penalty by firing squad because it's safer

I'd say the main thing is police should show how all leads have been followed, the investigation followed a logical and evidence based approach and all evidence handed to defence.

Pleading guilty has nothing to do with remorse or repentance. It's a legal thing. It is a strategic choice.

> It is a strategic choice.

If a person did not commit a crime and if their strategic best choice is pleading guilty for the crime that has x% probability of receiving death penalty, it says something about the whole process.

[aqueueaqueue → devsda]

Yes that scenario sucks. Death penalty itself should be trial only with a super high standard of evidence.

I think I am against it in general. I am undecided.

What do executions have to do with remorse or repentance?

I used Chat GPT.

It wrote me an app.

Tailwind is one of those things you should use once you feel the pain that it solves. Start with CSS. Should be enough!

They should just call it a robotic spacecraft, and then mention private company elsewhere in the sentence if they must.

But you can make it work harder by promising a tenure in 35 years time.

You need new companies to employ them. So maybe online or city based meetups to collaborate the get the new companies started.

They don't have to be startups. They can be consultancies.

You sort of have to go along with it if you want to estimate. The perfect plan and estimate only happens after the completion date.

There are so many unknown deps and unknown opportunities to optimise at the start of a project.

You find those out as you get in the weeds and as the ICs dream a 1am about their code and bring that idea in the next day.

You may like Python! At least the syntax.

Does the lack of movement on Elm even in terms of bugfixes cause any issues? Maybe you use elm-janitor?
