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 source-available games, though granted, nowadays it's more of alternative steam store interface with charity, with very few direct download titles. itch.io, due to the area they operate in -- niche indies -- it's pretty much cultural standard to have no DRM, so they don't even have to mention it.

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't always have the option to complete their purchases without using or creating a PayPal account. This option is presented based on several risk factors, including but not limited to the buyer's PayPal purchase history, PayPal cookies stored on the buyer's computer, the buyer's location, or a credit assessment.

You don't need a paypal account to pay by credit card via paypal. Select "Pay by Debit or Credit Card" when it asks you to login to paypal.

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't, since that would be wrong, that basically not how I ever read and understand that sentence(if it has "combined" in it), I am not a native english speaker so I'm maybe wrong on this.

Mary gets paid 90k per annum, this is more than what Jane and Jill get per annum combined. I read it as: Mary's per annum (90k) > Jane's per annum + Jill's per annum

Mary gets paid 90k per annum, this is more than what Jane and Jill get per annum. I read it as two separate comparisons: Mary's per annum (90k) > Jane's per annum, Mary's per annum (90k) > Jill's per annum

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 a surprising fact. X can be a total, per capita or some other rate or whatever, it will depend on the context, as long as it's the same, it doesn't the affect the intent of the sentence.

To expand it further. I assume you don't consider below being misleading somehow:

Mary gets paid 90k per annum -- which is more than what both Jane and Jill receive per annum combined. It's the same principle.

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-capita. Meant to illustrate the degree of the problem compared to other cities.

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 small spreadsheets doing some very basic stuff, and it does make more sense for them to be within the wiki itself.

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. This setup works quite well across all the devices I use (desktop, laptop, phone). With a caveat that phone setup is mostly read-only (apart from ticking the grocery list on occasion) due to it being just a folder with text files there.

I'm actually curious to hear from other vim to emacs org-mode converts since the article didn't elaborate on the cons and pros of the switch. How significantly is org-mode better than vimwiki and is it worth exploring for someone who's been baking in vim ecosystem for a decade?

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 in using. You are not comparing these ratings against other candidate's ratings.

The THEM in the article are "The Elders of Mathematics" though, and in particular his professor, who _didn't_ have any issues admitting ignorance. When you say that there are "too many of THEM" you probably meant the "wrong crowd" people.

I've ran it (from London) and you seem to be right -- nothing significantly different from the other results.

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 was run on. I would be curious to see if there's any variation found across countries.

In my experience running lighthouse locally vs Google's PageSpeed Insights gave non-trivially different results, never did figure out if that's purely because of different location this is being run from, or if I just failed to exactly replicate the configuration of the run PageSpeed Insights uses.

Sure. https://openuserjs.org/scripts/rossvor/Hacker_News_avatars

I think it's stale info -- ViolentMonkey used to be unavailable on Firefox.

I've stuck with Greasemonkey myself too. My reason is a bit more esoteric -- I use a user script which adds a dicebear.io/adorable.io avatars based on usernames on HN (I find it easier to remember commenters by the avatar/username combo rather than just username), and Greasemonkey seems to have been the only one out of the three to successfully bypass HN's CSP rules and show the actual hotlinked images.
