Sadly, longer jail time is purely placebo. Plenty of studies show jail time has no incidence on crime rate. Sure, locking people for longer would delay recidivism, but we could do better than that.
It’s not about logic though. Longer jail time proponents do lean on the emotional argument of a few anecdotal cases or recidivism. This tend to make flashy headlines and stick with the population.
Allow me to retort with an all-in-one self build script, along with pass-through args and exitcode.
#!/bin/sh out=$(mktemp) sed -e '0,/^#SELFBUILD$/d' "$0" | rustc --o "$out" - && "$out" "$@" status=$? rm -f "$out" exit "$status" #SELFBUILD fn main() { dbg!(std::env::args()); println!("hello rust"); std::process::exit(2); }
P.S. I have no idea why you’d want that, as it’s a terribly inefficient way to ship code, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at how we used to do self-extract archives decades ago.
