I think the use cases are disappearing. Using a KVM means working near many noisy computers. I do not know the location of most of the machines I am using remotely from my dumb windows PC. Poor guys that must use a KVM.

It seems each time lobbyists and lawyers achieve to pass a law against democratic will, it generates a lot of efforts to cancel it. This means many years of mess and fights where lobbyists and lawyers will make a lot of business. Bad behavi

I think the idea is excellent, but I have (almost) no interest in Go and I struggle to improve my javascript. Do anyone knows about a similar experience for javascript ?

A comment below says that Microsoft didn't write it (but Design Science). Maybe the C++ patch was rejected because the source code did not follow Microsoft coding rules mandating a complete rewrite of the code. To avoid a huge developm

IMHO, the minimum expected from a man page is to be complete. For example, this link does not give enough information to understand why "tar cfz x.tgz x" works, but not "tar -tfz x.tgz"

Yes. I also suggest to use tar instead of the dangerous cp -r: tar c -C src . | tar x -C dst. It works over ssh connections (ssh -C for compression) and is a good training of tar syntax.

I disagree. I am not an expert of java language subtleties, but I had no problem to predict and explain this output. I think it is a product of the language simplicity. I have a deeper knowledge of C and more experience, but I regularly fai

I also likes the table of 37, but this works better for smaller numbers. This gives: 37 x 115 -> 37 x 3 + (114 / 3) + 37. I know that 37x3=111. With some efforts, I can see that 114 / 3 -> 38. I am still memory free to perfo
