My guess: People who can be as competent with security as they need are very expensive.

I’m not really making an argument, but describing something I’ve heard and seems like a reasonable point to consider: One potential issue with “cleaning up” stuff like HP Lovecraft is that a lot of his horror is, in fact, horror about race. So cleaning it up would interact weirdly with that topic — would it mask the racial nature of it by making it less overt? Would it make it a different story? Or would it still basically be intact, but less immediately distracting, just because our modern ear recoils when we read certain words? (I don’t know which of these it would be; it probably varies depending on the story)

I honestly will just slap cmd-q on most games. If they don’t handle it properly… well, sucks for me I guess, but most do. (on a mac)

I wonder how most games treat alt-f4 on windows?

I’m reminded of something that Binding of Isaac does that I wish more games would do: If you’re anywhere in the main menu (even drilled into it), if you just mash the B button/Esc key, it will keep backing out, up to and including exiting the game if you press it on the main menu. I hate games that make me click 3 times and say “are you sure??” when I just want to quit the dang program.

Does the Remarkable do stuff if you touch the screen with your fingers? Or can I make it not do that, and only react to the pen?

Is there anything that still has side buttons and no touch screen? I’m still holding on to my old kindle 3rd gen (kindle keyboard) because I abhor touchscreens on my books.

Ideally also with no backlight, or the ability to turn the backlight off.

(and grid, which is very very similar to flexbox and uses much of the same rules)

They also “pay” an absolute pittance if you have them enabled — something like 2 cents per ad, if I remember my calculations correctly. Literally nobody should be considering that trade worth it.

Huh. Do you know why it’s so much more expensive than London?

You can get anywhere in the city on a bus! …in about 2 hours, with a half-hour transition from the east-west bus to the north-south bus in the middle.

There’s glass everywhere. In a few places, there’s street sweeping, but mostly not. So unless you want to go vacuum/sweep up every bike lane you use (which I’ve seriously considered), bike tires really don’t last very long.

Bold of them to assume they’ll even still be maintaining this app in 4.16 years

I use it for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. I especially write down recommendations, ideas, thoughts that felt worth noticing, anything I think I’m going to forget that doesn’t go on my calendar or somewhere else, and braindumping/processing my feelings.

I use an app called Logseq, because it combines the things I wanted from some of the other main apps in one place, which none of the other apps manage to do all of:

• Outliner structure like Notion or Roam or Workflowy lets you have (my brain requires this format when taking notes)
• Super fast page linking search, which Notion kinda sucks at but others are better at
• Data is stored on my computer, like Obsidian; not in the cloud. It’s stored as markdown (ish) by default.
• Automatic daily page created for each day, like Roam
• Mobile app is almost 1-1 feature parity with the desktop app, like Notion
• Open source (mostly)

Logseq does have a moderate amount of rough edges, and has been frustrating from an open source perspective at times (I’ve had PRs linger for over a year before just getting rejected because they didn’t want to bother with it), but it’s still the one I like the most.

FYI though syncing between devices with it is still pretty shaky. They have a native sync for $5/mo that is getting reasonably good, and is in beta. Syncing files via other means is kinda risky/not-great UX.

The main thing I encourage here is: If you’re breaking up longer functions into more smaller ones that are really only used in this context, don’t mix them into the same file as functions that are general use. It makes code super confusing to navigate. Speaking from experience on an open source project I contribute to.

But with more walls around the garden

Just to help me understand: Why is it that when I try the same search on different instances of this, I get very different search results?

Russian, but yeah

This shit keeps radicalizing me about the internet more and more. Ughh.

I mean, Google does index and cache most webpages internally already. So yeah, maybe. But after reading the article it doesn’t sound like they’re doing that.

From the same people as FTL, Into The Breach is one of the only games I consider a “perfect game” — there is almost nothing about it that could be improved without it just being a different game. I 100%'ed that game 1.5 times and it’s absolutely amazing.

It’s a turn-based tactics game with absolutely perfect interface (the way they went about its design is a whole interesting thing in itself); like chess but you only need to think 1.5 moves into the future.
