The thing is if the idea is that women should equally participate in the labour market then child births will decline.

Thus if immigrants already has or adopts the Japanese way of living then child births will still be low.

Or if immigrants have high childbirths then women will not equally participate in the labour market, therefore that family only has one or fewer incomes in a high tax society that is designed for two persons per family taxable income, thus that family will probably be a net loss for tax payers.

> Imo it’s a big reason the US eventually surpassed Europe

When was that?

If I'm reading the stats correctly for Japan

1960 94 million, ~50% labour participation rate for women, ~4 million child births, ~1 million abortions

Today 126 million, ~80% labour participation rate for women, ~800 000 child births, ~150 000 abortions.
>If an economic policy had bad outcomes because of bad luck, and the unlikely adverse event was appropriately considered as a possibility when the decision was initially made, then the sheer bad luck shouldn't count against the decision when we are retrospectively evaluating it.

No, you need to weigh the severity of bad outcome. If you play Russian roulette for 100M - you don't say "excellent opportunity - 5/6 chances I walk away with 100M". No ammount of money is worth that kind of risk to me.

I used to develop remotely in UNIX systems via telnet and X Windows, eventually Windows via Citrix and RDP, nowadays cloud instances.

In the old days, machines were too expensive, everyone shared the UNIX development server.

Later, giving laptops/desktops to all contractors became too much of an hassle with procurement, giving them VMs was much easier for IT to manage.

Nowadays those VMs are Cloud instances.

Here is the use case.

attitude is key when managing other people. so is respect. i dont hire people i dont respect. and whom dont respect me.

knowledge, not as much. i started a house framing business without knowing everything i needed to frame a house. but i hired someone who did. and because of my attitude, they like working for me, and are productive.

my attitude also helps me sell my services to builders. and build goodwill. early on it was apparent that i didnt know everything, and i never tried to hide that from my customers. but i did demonstrate enough knowledge that it was apparent i knew how to run a business, and who to hire.
I just wish they used modal dialogs less. I get a modal dialog to update some plugins I didn't even install every time I open it, when a file has changed, when a file has been deleted, etc.

Modal dialogs should be the exception. Windows explorer is doing the same, modal dialog if anything went wrong, including things that happen all the time (losing network connectivity on a network drive, happens basically every time the computer goes to sleep or wifi gets disconnected, and then you have to click click click for every open folder).

As an American I've never understood the "good guy with a gun" theory either. Murderers do not generally announce their intent and instances of violence being prevented, as opposed to eventually brought to an end, by other shooters are rare enough to be news events. Certainly they are much less common than mass shootings. Where I live I've never seen anyone strolling around with their guns on display, but when I see someone announce their enthusiasm for the 2nd Amendment I don't perceive a peace keeper. I perceive someone trying to antagonize and dominate liberals. I perceive it as a threat directed at the people without guns.
That's not exactly right; in British English and other dialects that don't say "legos", we don't have a plural of "lego" because we treat it grammatically as a "mass noun" just like "furniture", "spaghetti" and "advice".

"Legos" sounds wrong to us not because we care about the brand identity, but for the same reason that it sounds dopey to say "I love your furnitures", "These spaghettis are tasty" or "let me give you two advices".

I think the parent is answering OP's question - which is about the _gunman_'s justification. The parent explaining behavior is not the same thing as the parent defending or justifying it.

Thank you, I am now better-informed.
I don’t think your assertion about locality of gun crime and gun laws in the US is consistent with the data. (Not trying to make an assertion as to whether such laws are effective here)

Sort state level data by gun murder rate, it’s not so clear cut: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_S...

States like Louisiana and South Carolina have the highest rates. Maryland is a state with high rates and also more stringent gun laws, but New York and California are pretty far down the list
Historically we have lived in fairly anomalous times. However, we entered the nuclear age which changed a lot of things. So I’m still unsure if it’s an illusion or the new reality.

Of course when it comes to nukes the dark reality is that everyone has to be successful at not using one (because then they are all used) every single day for eternity. That seems impossible and an eventuality.
Not OP, but where I am in the tropics it's quite common for everybody to go to bed at 8 or 8:30 and get up at 5. It gets dark at 5:45pm every day and light at 5:30am, so by getting up at 5 you optimize your daylight hours. Also it's cooler before the sun is fully blazing at 9:30am, so the early morning hours are best for jogging, outdoor errands, etc.
API Debt Facility as a Service for Fintech Lenders | Founding team members | London, UK

I am launching an API-first debt facility as a service for fintech lenders to enable fintechs to borrow funds to lend to their users in real time without ever needing to raise an external debt facility from private debt funds or banks. The concept builds on top of "Banking as a Service" platforms that allow fintechs to create and manage banking accounts and credit cards on behalf of their users.

The offering has been well received among fintechs in London (consumer loans, BNPL, car financing, invoice financing) and early stage VCs in the UK/US. I am now looking to bring on board talented founding team members to build (software, data & analytics) and sell the first iteration of the product. Keen to speak to highly talented individuals that are able to wear many hats and bring new ideas to the table. Get in touch to learn more: https://bit.ly/li_prof13
The problem here is mere existence is an externality, if you make the claim that government should have the power to curb externalties then the very idea of limited governance ceases to exist, as a government empowered to control externalities has unlimited power, as everything is an exernality include human breath.

Murder, or Dumping toxins is not on the same vein as CO2 emissions not even close, for former as a theoretical harm that may occur over 100+ years if technology and human behavior does not change naturally something not supported by history

"Notepad++ should be understandable by everyone, including the most obtuse people."

This made me laugh out loud. I guess one of the perks of not needing to sell your product is that you can freely speak your mind (see also: SQLite CoC)
Living in a country where gunfire is very common, the opposite starts to happen: even when you hear what you rapidly realize isn't gunfire but only somewhat similar (firecrackers, cars backfiring, etc), your first reaction is to assume gunshots or automatic rifle fire before assessing what you heard more carefully.
I doubt it’s an oversight. It’s probably a matter of prioritising finite resources. Not everything needs to be multi-platform to deserve to exist. And not everyone designing a thing prioritises traffic volume over quality of experience.
You could have something like

import strutils{split, trim}

similar to how rust does things.

What would be the problem with that?
Is it? I replaced the nvme drive on my thinkpad with one from a different brand and it worked straight away.

No. We’re in an age of unrest, with plenty more to come.
I'm leaning towards an LLC (and not a non profit), even more now.

The engineer, admin and manager example sounds frustrating!

I can run a company (it seems) but a co-op, then I'm afraid one would need much greater charisma and persuasion skills, and also enjoy that?

Otherwise the co-op would be unstable? With equal voting power, then any member with bad ideas and persuasion skills would be an existential threat? But in a company, s/he could just be fired? (Or contract not renewed)

> It's more likely to see some malfunctioning tech, than experience a real gun fired. And with all the smoke, that's what people probably thought at first, that some tech went haywire.

What the hell did he shoot him with it, a relic musket from a Sengoku Jidai display? I don't think I've ever seen or heard anything like that outside of military battle reenactments, with all that smoke it sounds like a cannon more than a gun.

Abenomics would always end up this way, Japan has been facing an ACTUAL existential crisis since the end of the bubble era. You know you messed up when you made these people go from Karoshi to assassination.
That's interesting. You can see a difference between N and S hemispheres on the same longitude, e.g. North East USA vs Peru and Japan vs East Australia.

Accounting for social changes, birthrates would still be on the decline in developed countries due to declining year over year male fertility. ie if we outlawed abortion and women didn’t work, it would still be decreasing

You would still need immigration to make up for the losses
Yes. I've never had a gun in my hands or saw/heard one being fired and don't know anyone who has.

Same for most non-developed countries I imagine.
Yes and no, true you miss out on some of the sound, but is also startlingly loud.

I’ve never heard what a bomb or meteor strike but I’m sure I would instinctively jump and run.

While the authors' reaction is understandable as the software is free, it's also important to take emails like this to heart. Emails like this come from a place of frustration, and there's usually some underlying issue that can be found and improved on. Sometimes users have been frustrated for a long time, and the small issue at hand is irrelevant. It's the whole experience of the software being too cumbersome that leads to a user throwing in the towel sending an email like this.
Guns are very loud close up, but even a moderate distance and especially in an urban setting where sounds bounce all over the place and get partly diverted, they rapidly seem a lot less noisy. I live in a place that just a few years ago had regular gun battles just blocks away from my home and while you learned to rapidly identify the specific sound from things like firecrackers, it wasn't especially loud unless you heard it from very close by.
I'm ok with the apathetic and negative so long as they don't try to infect others. I've no time for whingers, I've a lot of time for people who try - and they may fail (I've had my share of that), but at least they tried.
I really love HN being a sarcasm-averse place.
Of course nuance is important when thinking about solutions to the problem. But if a substantial portion of the country (I don't know, is it 30%?) is basically not democratic anymore, you better be quick with coming up and implementing a solution. And how exactly is a solution to look like then without a civil war?
oh my god EOL display is customizable now? oh hell yeah!
I think the point is not so much that the user is complaining, but the way the user is complaining. - Even more because it does not provide any helpful advice or idea.

So no, even as a professional you're not obliged to handle such users. As others already have pointed out. If you have a problem with a free software (or any free product), but can't provide any value, just do not communicate.
Not really, I'm just saying I know enough people who are usually enthusiastic and knowledgeable and they still try out wayland once a month or so and it's always "oh, found 3 thing that don't work" and go back. They're not excited if they have to fix dualscreen working or something so basic.

Am i reading your response correctly? You disapprove of the software author's response out of a concern over how they got back to a rude inconsiderate individual?

The email from the user is more a rant than feedback. Granted some could define literally any response as feedback but to me it doesn't qualify, certainly not as constructive feedback.
Can something like this be done with vim?
That's like saying there is a reasonable way to avoid the dangers of going to the park; by going to a different park. There will always be online dangers, and "don't go online" is not a viable strategy to avoid them. From what I've seen, Robolox doesn't appear to be worse than other social platforms. Discord can be worse because it's really _not_ intended for children nor does it seem they put any effort into protecting children.
Nim does have that:

Most people don't use it because it's annoying to constantly add and remove imports when changing your code, but it's definitely an option.
My point was that if I'm a user with feedback should I share it if there's a chance I'm going to be put to task publicly for doing so?

Am I getting a receptive audience?
Our users often get emotional and vent their frustration with bad UX in unproductive ways. But that does not mean the feedback is not helpful or constructive.

The users email did in fact contain several constructive complaints about the UX, including settings, user defined languages, styles, global overrides. They discussed difficulty in setting background color and highlight effects. They even provided a comparison to a different product (google search) to demonstrate alternative UX.

I think angry user emails can be some of the most enlightening ones with regards to learning about the real UX
Good question! So a candidate is sharing their name. It's just not necessarily their legal/government name. They're not anonymous. They're pseudonymous. Meaning they're just working under a different name. But there's still a name.

In many cases, the individual would operate online and work under that one pseudonym, as opposed to changing their pseudonym every day. That way, they can accrue reputation, and an employment history, and credentials, under that identity, just like they could with their legal/government identity. So if you wanted to evaluate a potential candidate, the process would look pretty similar to evaluating a candidate who has provided their legal name. With a few differences here and there.

I think it's interesting too! Thanks for saying that. You're absolutely right about including a detailed explanation on the site. Will add that for sure.

Of course, people could choose to have multiple pseudonyms too. Each would have its own reputation and history. There's a lot of interesting work going on to make it possible to port some reputation between identities without necessarily having to expose your different identities.
If you have a beefy PC for working at home and a thin and light laptop for working from the office, you can leave your whole dev environment on your PC and then access it on the laptop when you work from the office. You can do this over RDP, but that is heavier and has a lot of lag.

I clearly should have clarified. They don’t work in America where private gun ownership does not look like it’s ever going to get banned.

Also America isn’t land locked like Australia. The black market will have an easier time transporting the goods through South America. If that wasn’t the case, then drugs wouldn’t be as accessible here. And given US is the arms capital of the world (American manufacturers supply a significant amount of the arms used in conflicts), those guns will inevitably find their way back to America (conflict stops, owners need money more than weapons, etc). The bigger the conflict the cheaper the guns become.

Finally, Australia had a national moment of unity when they banned guns and so giving up your guns was a collective activity. That’s not the case in America.
