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)

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.
