It's strange nobody mentioned NX (NoMachine). When I tried it ~10 years ago, it was much faster than VNC, nearly identical to RDP. Why isn't it more popular?

I was also annoyed by it not remembering the scroll position. The site doesn't live up to its name.

This problem also seems to stem from the fact that Zoom has been used primarily in the corporate settings until now, which kinda validates their claim. Definitely not ideal, but un…

How do you even remember a thread from last year? I'm always surprised by your vast knowledge required for moderation. Possibly with a help of some internal search tools?

I'm in a similar boat with you, so I have a few questions: 1. Why did you switch? Are you satisfied with the new experience? 2. Why was some of the history needed to be squashed? W…

But it doesn't have to be VBA. Any language with a decent OLE Automation library would suffice. I've been using Python to automate my Excel files, and am really happy about that. I…

C and C++ already have such a thing, IIUC. The literal 0 is considered the same as nullptr, if compared to another pointer. It is a bit worrying that such an overloaded meaning is …

I guess what has changed is me, not the computing environment. When I was young, I easily grew impatient when things were going slow. Nowadays I still kinda feel nervous, but not t…

I'm currently using Galaxy S9 and it is the first phone I decided not to root. I've always rooted my phones since I was introduced to Android, but this time Samsung tied its crucia…

I remember him as a very Torvalds-like person, for better or worse. I wanted him to stay a little more around the Rust 1.0 era because I thought as many warts as possible should ha…

Wait, how do they build dc? Is there a B compiler for 64-bit systems?

I believe you already know this, hence the "probably" part, but such analog media can easily be produced from (modified) digital media, thus no credibility.

zsh is better than bash in nearly all aspects, at least in my use cases, so this is a great news for me. Is there anything that can be done in bash but not in zsh?

> Only one side of the note is printed to resemble currency so as not to run afoul of counterfeiting laws. Doesn't it? To know for sure we need to take it to the court.

This is another language whose syntax is similar to Rust's. I wonder why the author chose it, in spite of its Go heritage.

What I meant by "automatic" was Ubuntu/Debian's unattended upgrade feature. I've used it for years without any problem, and it has relieved much of my maintenance burden. Maybe I n…
