If they’re not stealing for money, supporting the black market, dying of overdoses, or spreading disease by sharing needles, and have consistent dosages and proximity to support programs, why quit?

Probably the massive social stigma and loss of positive effects due to built tolerance.

It would make the problem way less urgent at any rate.

Giving addicts free drugs is a subset of harm reduction. Honestly, at this point in the discussion, we need numbers to be productive.

Looks like you’re right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitic_trope

Common sense is extremely subjective.

Is it really more effective to not help addicts than to use harm reduction methods?

“Facts over feels” and all that.

Mandatory care has the same incentive against self reporting though?

Do we have any data on relapse rates from this vs non-mandatory methods? My guess would be high recidivism if the person is released back into the exact same circumstances in which they started using in the first place.

Do you have a source for that?

Exactly. They’re addicted. They’re going to get the drugs one way or another. May as well minimize the harm.

Permanently. And “quit” seems like too light a word for the herculean task of getting clean. They deserve all the help we can give. That it essentially removes all the negative externalities should make this a no-brainer.

Throw me a bone here. Is there like an existing reasons it sucks or do you just hate snakes?

Why tho

First time I’m hearing about it. Any fun gimmicks?

Python has its flaws for sure (I’m getting pretty fed up with the lack of required type notation, myself), but my point here is that bash is even worse:

• https://github.com/anordal/shellharden/blob/master/how_to_do_things_safely_in_bash.md

Any suggestions for linter?

Is there a way to disable the old c++ features? Or some kind of linter that points them out and suggests the new ways?

Ruuuuuuust

C++ was necessary, and truly great compared to its predecessor. But the world has marched on. Rust is the current benchmark.

Fish might be good for interactivity, but in terms of scripting, just go straight to python. It’s not worth it.

So many footguns. Use python in place of bash.

In stick’s homeland, there are many sticks.

Hard disagree. More monitors is morally better.

Vertical monitors are good for code, too.
