  • In Germany, juvenile detention is up to 24 years. Juvenile law is also not that straightforward, if it’s applicable also depends on how “childish” someone still behaves. In some cases one can be 20 and still go to an adult prison, e.g. if they’re very violent and wouldn’t fit into the education-oriented juvenile detention. On the other hand, older people who behave very childish (e.g. because of a disability) will usually not be put into an adult prison and instead get something more therapy oriented similar to juvenile detention.







  • How often does branchless programming actually matter in the day to day life of an average developer?

    Barely never. When writing some code that really has to be high performance (i.e. where you know it slows down your program), it can help to think about if there are branches or jumps that you can potentially simplify or eliminate.

    Of course some things are often branchless, for example GPU shaders, which need very high performance and which usually always do the same things. But that’s an exception.
