And yet in terms of economic development countries which joined EU are doing quite markedly better than those that didn't. Obviously, there's some selection bias -- only those who sort of had their shit together were allowed to jo

I think it's perfectly fine browser. Obviously like any software there are hundreds of ways you could think of how to improve it. > it most certainly isn't easily to customize. I can't think of any other browser I ever use

I did not downvote you. But you haven't actually argued the point, you just said that you find it irritating. Why? What benefit do you envision revenge would provide you or society?

I know there's a project started a few years ago, building something like this for bash called Relational pipes[1]. It's perennially in my "to check out" list and I haven't actually played around with it, mainly bec

How can you "discredit" a fictional drama film? (Family Romance, LLC). Has "Inglourious Basterds" also been thoroughly discredited? EDIT: Nevermind, apparently there exists an actual, real company named "Family Roma

You are absolutely right, but this thread's point is exactly to highlight this fact. That if you'll commit to learning and depending this toolkit, you might want to understand that Microsoft is in control and depending on its mood

Speaking as recent(4-5 months) Emacs(spacemacs) convert - it is slower compared to even "decked out" vim. An important caveat to mention is that it very much depends on what modes you are operating in -- each file type will usuall

More apt comparison would be a sports team rather than a car. And if you replace all players in the team over a long period time, usually it wouldn't be considered as the same team, sometimes just replacing one player is enough(Bulls

Try using nitter -- a no js twitter interface. Reading UX is so much better with it.

Minor anecdote on amount of attention Patreon pays to UI. About 2 months ago I've discovered that you can access some locked videos without being logged in. I've reported it to their security team and they replied that's alre

Using your definition any kind of charity or volunteer work provide no benefit to society. This sounds pretty absurd, so either you didn't mean it this way and you need to restate your view more clearly, or you did mean it -- in which

Well it's matter of comparing it to their competitors. GOG actively advertises and encourages devs to eschew DRM, lots of games became DRM-free just to appear on the store. Humble also actively advertised DRM-free games, and even sourc

Following your logic we should just give up spending any money on any non climate science. Science is what enabled us to lift billions out of poverty in the first place.

Interesting, it's enabled for me -- that's how I bought it -- without creating an account. Maybe this feature is perhaps region locked somehow? I'm in UK. EDIT: it is indeed gated by some vague heuristics[1]. >Buyers don&#

I guess I see now where confusion point seems for other people. > If it's per capita, can't you just list every city that has a lower per-capita rate and claim that it is higher than all of them "combined"? I can&#x27

It works the same way as any other time a sentence like "A has a greater value in X than B, C and D combined" appears -- to illustrate that A is significantly larger compared to its siblings in the set and its usually meant to be

I have no opinion on Detroit or crime rates in general. Just want to disagree that combining per-capita numbers is in some way misleading. Makes perfect sense for me and that is how I read the parent's comment -- combined and per-capit

To give some context on the perspective this piece is written from, since the article doesn't provide a disclaimer -- the author is a developer of Whonix.

Thanks, I just watched the video, and it did intrigue me enough to install spacemacs to start playing around with it. Having "real" spreadsheet like tables within my wiki does look appealing. I do in fact already have a bunch of

Similar to my note setup with one change -- Vimwiki + Syncthing. I'm also using(abusing) git to daily auto-commit everything, so I could delete everything without worry, and browse history with tooling I'm already familiar with.

I personally never experienced it myself. But I can imagine it being useful in a relativistic sense. For example if the candidate puts 9 for PHP and 5 for Haskell, you can get the rough idea what language they prefer or are more comfortable

Not surprising at all that SourceHut came out on top, but the gap between Github and Gitlab is interesting. This is probably too much to ask -- it would be great if in the future this page would be expanded by location where the lighthouse
