    Population density (on a national scale) is not relevant. Sweden is an urbanized country, like most (all?) of the western world. More than 85% of Swedes live in urban environments:…

    "Many elderly people were administered morphine instead of oxygen despite available supplies, effectively ending their lives." This is from the abstract, but as far as I could find…

    Is there a point you're trying to make with this question or are you just being defensive?

    No, population density is how many people live in a certain area. They can live spread out over the entire area (rural) or concentrated in cities and similar (urban).

    Why do you think population density matters? Does it matter that Swedish forests are large than Israeli deserts? What might/probably matter(s) is the degree of urbanisation.

    Elm would be a great fit for that. The language, IMO, manages to be both simple and powerful. And the Elm compiler is a joy to use (great error messages and very fast). I haven't u…

    However, schools should never treat stupid and intelligent children the same. Not everyone is cut out to be a rocket surgeon. But your argument means that we should hold back all f…

    This was basically the exact point I was trying to make.

    What you call "most and least gifted" is in my opinion better described as "most and least privileged". And coeducation of students of different levels of privilege just seems like…

    You might be interested in Unison, where you edit code in text but let the manager/runtime handle the storage. It changes how you need to work with VCS quite a lot. https://www.uni…

    .NET Core does support both WinForms and WPF, but only on Windows (with no plans for other OS). Maybe that's what you meant and I just misunderstood? Regardlessly it used to be the…

    Those are the worst flu seasons (in recent history) in Sweden.

    This is an oversimplification. What specifics do you claim puts Sweden closer to the other Nordics than other European contries? For example, Sweden had school breaks around the ti…

    It does not matter if Sweden is the outlier - it is the other Nordic countries that instated (and maintain!) emergency measures regarding travel. I don't know how anyone could clai…

    What a silly comment. The comment about masks seems particularly misguided now that it should be obvious that it was indeed possible to flatten the curve without mask mandates (or …
