I think the other lesson we could draw from America is that we shouldn't let everyone in, they'll kill us, take our place and feel bad about it a few hundred years later... maybe.

Sorry, you speak about this as though you are an American (not sure if you are) but you can't hope to understand the realities of living in a country that just injected 1/10th of its population in a decade. The demographic of the

Ok, but then you're saying Sweden is on the hook, in perpetuity, for an entire family tree of a stream of people that seems to never end unless racists take control of migration (which is what has happened now in Sweden). Honestly, I r

Well, Sweden had to recently ban cousin marriage (it wasn't an issue before) but aside from that (which is a problem for the health service, but not for me personally), there are very differing perspectives towards homosexuality and Wo

Do people still hire QA? Over the last 16 years all I've seen is people implying (heavily) that they can replace QA with "good enough unit tests".. Which then inevitably leads to bugs, and performance regressions and develope

It's nice to cherry pick inflammatory things that have been stated without their full context. The context in this case is that he was directly asked: "What about the people born in Sweden who commit so many crimes and do not in

Tolerant is the wrong word to choose because tolerant doesn't mean "accepting" it means... to tolerate . And the most extreme position they have stated is that "it doesn't matter if you're born here, if you co

it's always funny how the hardline advocates of the free internet (especially outside of the US) are subject to this kind of unpersoning. It's enough to consider that there's something malicious going on. But I guess we shoul

You lose one of the largest advocates of a free internet, and what you gain is... more people knowing that it's not acceptable to be anti-immigrant under any cicumstances ... While, Elon Musk still owns everything and in my opinion he&

this kind of slippery slope is why I hate vague rules on forums, let alone national laws. Selective enforcement of those you find disagreeable is a way of bullying people with impunity. That said, I'm curious on how you would solve the

Come now, this is a response to very obvious criminal situations, parties like this (and SD) don't just pop up in very egalitarian, sectarian and liberal societies like Sweden for no reason whatsoever. I empathise with the point you&#x

We can, but there is always a large amount of people who struggle to articulate their emotions and would prefer to label and condemn- true of basically every “side” on any topic from what I can tell. This has been especially true in Swede

Why? It does seem to be true. People love responding to interpretations or theories, but properly reasoned and cited comments tend to go unanswered. Stating facts is not against HN guidelines, even if it’s against your preferred position.

I listened to it, because of these threads. (My Swedish is passive rather than spoken, understanding it isn't the problem.) That quote is his answer to a question about people born here who commit crimes and live long-term on welfare;

From what I've learned (from these threads) the leader of the Orebro party said he wanted to expel those who commit crimes, even if they were born here (if they have no "natural" connection to Sweden). It's an extreme

Yes, that's fair, I think tolerated is the right word. I'm tolerated for not speaking Swedish, but I would not be tolerated if I was a criminal, went directly against Swedish values loudly or was a net drain on society in some o

I am also an immigrant to Sweden. And, to be fair, I also haven't integrated perfectly well (I scarcely speak Swedish)- but I pay a lot of taxes and I don't do any crimes. I would suspect that the Orebro party doesn't reall

you’re right, when a merge conflict happens it drops you in “detached head” and writes a diff into your files which even when modified away require you to issue a special command to continue. Its actually worse than interactive rebase. “det

Come now, lets be real. How many esoteric tools are needed for proper development? “save my file” should not need a phd level awareness of the save model, yet it seems to because its so easy to fall off the happy path.
