This is a partial list I posted on a site for IT techs, so it's geared toward the use of these packages for remote support more than for remote access. The packages in question are the ones most often mentioned on that and a few other sites.

A couple others that were mentioned were UltraVNC and IMPCRemote, both VNC-based. There are also many other VNC-based options available as well (e.g. Fog Creek Copilot), but I'm not aware of any that have performance that I'd consider acceptable.

------------------

* Ammyy - Tool of scammers everywhere, DO NOT USE

* Splashtop - inexpensive, no-frills. Options for unattended, resellable unattended, and attended/client-initiated but all are separate products. Annual pricing, but cheap. Hosted by them.

* Instant Housecall - active with forums and podcasts as well, includes toolkit based on D7. Subscription, $30/40/75/month. Hosted by them.

* ScreenConnect - former local darling until bought by ConnectWise/LabTech which raised prices. Subscription, $50/month annual, cheaper options available with fewer features. Hosted by them unless you're spending $2200+. Has (had?) active forums and many scripts you could add in for cleaning, etc.

* Simple-Help - pricing similar to ScreenConnect's old pricing ($320/year + 20% annual maint). Self-hosted by you. Discounts may be available including links from here back when ScreenConnect raised their prices. For an extra 50% you get remote monitoring and some tools but I have no experience with them. Never as actively developed as ScreenConnect. If the RMM features are good enough it's surprisingly affordable (under $1/month per endpoint the first year, $0.20/month per endpoint after that, all in blocks of 40 endpoints)

* MSPAnywhere/BeAnywhere - $50/month subscription, purchased by Solarwinds (N-Able) in 2015. I don't think it has integrated tools, but has a good reputation for remote control.

* TeamViewer - Solid product, one-time purchase (plus fees for upgrades) $800+. Has some sort of addon available for support/tools I believe.

* LogMeIn - had many fans here until a few years ago when the price increases started. Not sure anyone here still uses them.

* Chrome Remote Desktop - Free, and you get what you pay for. You can contemplate your errors as you wait for the other end to reconnect you. Again.

* Zoho - VNC based? I know little about it other than being pretty sure it exists.

* AnyDesk - €60/year or has a 6-year license at a discount. More expensive Professional version allows what I think is unattended access with the extra-charge PowerUser option.
That's interesting, because I don't know what one should do to make QlikView slower than Excel. I used to do QlikView development full time for many years and I know pretty well what it's capable of, but I still can't imagine what that could be. QlikView is one of the fastest in-memory engines ever created. It's being perfected since 90s and now it's extremely optimized using techniques like JIT compilation, extensive parallelization with near linear scalability, and multiple layers of caching. Sub-second response times on datasets with tens of millions of rows on a rather average server are typical. It never came to my mind to compare it against Excel (since it's a totally different league), but I guess Qlik would be 3-4 orders of magnitude faster than Excel (PowerPivot is a different story). When you refer to QlikView's query language I guess you mean the Qlik load script which is used for initial loading data in memory. While it's indeed slow (it's single-threaded), it's never ever used for querying. It's not even technically feasible as user selections in UI can't trigger script.

QlikView does have disadvantages (mostly related to UI as you rightfully mentioned) but its performance is almost never among them.
The Slack/GitHub model is to sell visibility to the company. X of your employees are using this, do you want to know how? Do you want an SLA? PCI compliance? $100k/yr.
Why wouldn't it? It only relies on the ability to create a single outbound TCP connection; surely double NAT doesn't impede that?

If both parties are double NAT, then sure, you have a problem, but aside from that; as long the party you are connecting to doesn't -- it should work fine as described.

I feel like I've been using it wrong after reading these comments. It's always been one huge attempt to make my friends laugh. We'll take embarrassing/stupid photos with the goofy filters and face swaps for a cheap laugh, knowing it'll be gone in 15 seconds or whatever. I'm not really using it to keep up on their lives or anything like that. and I'm not sure they are either.
Hello, would you be hiring candidates on OPT (F1 visa)?
Asking users to actually read something and not just blindly dismiss it is a new low?
I have no idea what harbourmasters and oil traders do. But pretend harbourmasters look at maps and use the radio a lot, and oil traders like to look at positions of oil tankers, and charts of oil futures prices, a Yahoo Oil Messenger that lets users embed maps with positions of ships, charts of commodity prices within the conversation itself, view log of recorded radio transmissions, might be very useful. If Slack is worth $3.8 billion, I'd say a Yahoo Oil Messenger could be a billion dollar business, building an industry specific communications product.

It's like Yahoo had all these tenements for the past decade and it's only when the tenements are expiring they finally found out there's bonanza of gold beneath, but it's way too late to do anything about it. With the new Yahoo chat product, it's like they registered some tenements next to their present ones and say something like "hey we got something nearby so it'll be alright."
Part of a healthy community is accepting that people disagree a lot, have different values, and communicate their ideas in very different ways.

Where we draw the line is if people are being intimidated, bullied, insulted, or anything that even remotely resembles harassment.

Although I personally feel that some of the comments in that thread are pretty unfair and poorly informed, they don't seem to violate the social contract.
I was at 53% after about 20 presses, and then by trying hard got it down to 47%.

Don't ask me what 'trying hard' means -- I don't know! :-)
Interesting book. Your introduction covering toolsets, choice of lisp etc was enough that I bought a copy!

I've been seeing (common) lisp everywhere lately, from talks on clasp to the recent(ish) work on (really) fast http parser for lisp etc. It really feels like cl, with the help of a few, but very much needed tools and libraries (like quicklisp) and mature implementations that compile down to machine code could have a bit of a renaissance.

I think a lot of people simultaneously realized that one didn't have to code old style lisp, just because the cl spec has been written. Like the project to reimplement cl in cl. There's no need to rely on old broken crutches, just take the good parts of cl, combine with 40 years of experience from system and language engineering, and reduce back down to cl. And suddenly you have something very elegant and efficient and powerful.

Ok, I admit, I still want "sweet expressions"[1] -- but I think just a simple thing like acknowledging that global variables with * earmuffs * , are still global variables - and generally a bad idea -- and that cl is much more than some small "functional" language goes a long way. I remember I came to lisp rather late, and was confused by how un-functional a lot of the code was. There was just a lot of messy examples with detached functions for manipulating ad-hoc data structures that didn't seem properly motivated at all. And it all seemed terribly brittle.

But if one ignores all of that (and a lot of the classic lisp books), what emerges is that the "good" parts of cl are really great, and there's really no reason not to use those parts. And the warts in moderation (as with any other language).

Without symbols you can't get backtraces, profile the program, use function-based DTrace probes, readably disassemble it, etc. I'm not saying it's impossible to distribute stripped binaries, I'm just saying I don't recommend it. Compared with the debug information, I think the symbol table is much bigger bang for the buck, considering how much smaller it is.

It's strange -- I can verify with -Wl,--print-gc-sections that this is indeed discarding some sections from a static glibc link, so I was wrong about that. On the other hand I can also see plenty of sections in libc.a that have more than one function in them -- not sure why this would happen if libc was indeed compiled with -ffunction-sections.

I agree that separate debug files are nice, and OS X's implementation of them is especially nice, since it does a very good job of finding the right debug information for an executable.

Honda's VFR line, specifically the VFR800.

Bolting everything to the engine means lighter weight. It allows one to isolates loads/jobs. The weight of the rider on the seat is handled by a very light frame, a frame that doesn't have to deal with forces from the rear wheel shocks. And with the rear swing arm attached directly to the transmission, which is built into the engine block, nothing is wobbling around. But to do this you need a well-balanced engine. Watch any harley accelerate. It's engine is bouncing around on soft mounts.

Here is the definitive japanese sportbike, the honda CRB600. The last pic is "naked", ie without the plastic fairings and "birdcage" that holds the instrument cluster and windscreen. Look at how tightly integrated everything is. You don't normally get engineering like that in a vehicle selling for only 12k. Chances are you can pick up a slightly used one for 6k.

Again, congenitally deaf children who cannot learn any language spoken by the adults around them (since they can't perceive the speech) nevertheless create sign languages among themselves when they are part of a community of deaf children, and those sign languages display the full complexity and expressivity of any natural language. These de novo languages cannot have been taught to the children because they didn't exist to be taught. They are a product of the interaction between children, a side effect.

The same thing happens among the children of pidgin-speaking communities -- they receive input that does not belong to any language and, acting as a group, construct a full language from that. (This process is called creolization.) But the case of deaf children is especially clear because they don't even receive the malformed linguistic input that creolizing children do.
Interestingly, another way of looking at this result is that the score is a measure of the total information content of the respondent's answers.

Yeah, that's super confusing to me as well. I see three different things here:

- nextCloud forking / poaching

- ownCloud having an event where they showed off new planned features

- the bank pulling the plug on financing

Since they're all talked about in the article, it seems as though they're related, but the links between them are really unclear.
I can't see how this is a bad thing at all. Currently rates are set on arbitrary things that merely correlate with driving skill, like past record, age, and gender, etc.

I'd love to be rewarded for actually being a good driver. Rather than being lumped in with bad drivers who have a high chance of being in $50k accidents, which everyone has to collectively pay for.

Driving is also the leading cause of death of young people, so anything that encourages people to drive safer is a huge net good for society. What's more effective, a sticker that says "buckle up" or "drive slower", or knowing that your insurance company is keeping track of it?

Of course it should be voluntary and opt out. But there could be a huge gain for people who opt in.
I am interested in the Software engineer opportunity. I wanted to know if Scalable Press can hire a candidate on F1 visa. Please let me know.
Yes, you've sorta made out point-we don't live in the pre-20th century world, the world of those battles are long gone. And the American Civil War was (since you mentioned Pickett's Charge) more of a porto-WW1 in many respects rather than some sort of bizarre image of a masculine gentleman's war that you seem to have.
> I've made useful firmware for a micro-controller (yes in Rust)

Would you mind sharing which microcontroller and how to get a Rust compiler for it? I would love to use Rust to program microcontrollers. Every time I've looked into this, I've thought it wasn't possible, because I don't see any microcontrollers in the list of supported platforms here (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html#platform...) or here (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/mk/cfg). I've considered trying avr-rust (https://github.com/avr-rust/rust), but the README says "NOTE: This does not currently work due to a bug." Any pointers to get started would be appreciated.
I've provided home tech support to a large number of primarily senior citizens. But I also know lawyers, teachers, and other professionals who have fallen prey to TeamViewer-based remote support scams.

Attacks of this type on corporate targets are likely much rarer because of corporate network security devices and monitoring tools. That being said, I have heard of similar remote access tools being exploited to attack corporate networks as well.

I don't actually know if you're in SV, but I would say, I often find it hard to believe people from SV live in the same world as I do, so I can understand your query. ;) I frequently find personal experiences of other HN users very different from my own, which is why it's so key to share!

From the linked article:

If you're determined to avoid Windows 10 you've simply closed that pop-up by clicking the little X in the top right corner, by now it's probably second nature. This week Microsoft took advantage of this by changing the pop-up so that clicking the X to close it implies your consent to upgrade, tricking even more people into installing Windows 10 against their wishes.
Some people make a ±100k per year, if that's what's you want to know.
It's very common. I have a friend who got the cops called on him when he took his 3-year old daughter to the park one day. He said it took a while to prove that he was a) the father and b) he hadn't abducted the daughter.
Actually testosterone studies have shown that it increases aggression in men who have anger problems. Estrogen has been shown to have similar increases in aggression in women. Too lazy to find on mobile but I'll edit later.

Boys are held to a lower standard of behavior than girls. "Boys will be boys" is a societal mantra.

It's worth noting that these "inherent" traits vary across societies. For instance Italian culture believes that girls are more violent and boys are kinder and more emotional.

Women being kinder is a sex trope not a neurological reality.

Also both of your examples are perfect fits for what I was talking about. Women being kinder means that kindness is expected of them. Also that they are available to be emotionally dumped on.

"Men being aggressive" excuses male violence. "Boys being hyperactive" means we have low standards for their behavior.
Why don't you ask them if you want to know what they are doing?

I still don't get it.
Two points come to mind when reading the article and comments made here. One, humans have personalities based on dualistic and conflictive emotions. Only humans can love and hate at the same time at the same individual. AI is focused on mimicking some behaviors based on stimuli, but behaviors is not a personality in action. Personality is much more complex. Some Psychology 101 disperses all confusions around this. Two, the challenges around language recognition can't be programmed unless one solves meaning. Linguists have struggled to define meaning for decades; best definitions explain meaning fluctuates culturally, historically, politically, and to some extent by the individual.
This is just a branch predictor!

It would be interesting to play with more modern branch prediction algorithms (e.g., Andre Seznec's recent work) with the same interactive interface. I haven't seen anyone do this before...

There is CU2CL: http://chrec.cs.vt.edu/cu2cl/

The cross-platform nature is actually part of the problem--the whole point of doing GPGPU work is that you're playing to the hardwares' strengths, which can be difficult when the hardware can be nearly anything from a CPU to a GPU to an FPGA.

It doesn't help that until recently, AMD hasn't tried to push OpenCL nearly as hard as nVIDIA pushes CUDA.
It's (b).

If each driver is run in twenty 15-minute (or longer) trials, you have 300 total data points to analyze. If the car was correct in its fingerprinting 270 times, then it was correct 90% of the time.
>>The corollary follows from the first part because of the nature/nurture dichotomy. It's either biological, or sociological.

Nature/nurture argument is not a dichotomy. It isn't either/or. It can be both to varying degrees, i.e. biological dispositions can be nurtured/reinforced by environment and upbringing.
> Conciousness is the process of simulation of reality. The "better" the simulation or the more complete and closer to "reality" it is (whatever that means) - the higher the form of conciousness.

So would you say that a supercomputer in the process of calculating the gyromagnetic ratio of an isolated electron to 12 digits of accuracy is a higher form of consciousness than we are? After all, it is performing a much better simulation of reality than our brains in that case.

I'm using Pocket, and am in the process of switching from Readability (~2,000 articles archived there) as well as adding more articles.

It's got some positives and negatives, though I'm fairly impressed so far (this is rare, so that alone is high praise).

1. Tags. Lots and lots of tags. It doesn't tell me how man I've got, though >1,000 wouldn't surprise me. I tend to organise stuff heavily.

2. Title, tag, and FULL TEXT search. This alone is a huge win over Readability, which lacked text-based search. The bad news: search appears to be OR rather than AND, meaning that lots of search terms increase rather than narrow search scope. If that's true, it's fucking idiotic. (Ello's search has a similar failure.)

3. Pretty good rendering. Overall the Pocket Android app is far better than the Readability app.

4. Responsive support. I've filed a mass of suggestions through the Pocket web form, plus a few through email. The latter have elicited responses, which is promising. No actual bugs fixed yet, though I'm hoping this will happen.

5. Good presentation defaults. Essentially preferable to ALL default Web design. White, sepia, and night-mode options, with font face and size controls.

6. Active development, support, communications. Readability appears to have entirely ceased public activity as of ~December 2012, with a (fairly annoying) set of feature changes. I suspect it's not long for this world.

What's missing from Pocket:

1. Counts. Count everything, at least on request.

2. User stats. Overviews of article counts, add, archive, read, and delete rates would be helpful.

3. Multi-tag search. My tagging pays off most if I can filter to specific sets of topics. Generally, the tag system wants a lot of UI/UX love.

Some longer comments on how tags might be improved:

It's worse than that. Try typing "crooked h" into the Google search box.

Until a few days ago this autocompleted to "crooked Hillary", now it doesn't. Watch what happens when you add additional letters after the H...

I think it's pretty obvious Google is censoring these results.
I have experienced using WordPress. But, I think it's overkill using WordPress for a blog. I moved from WordPress to Jekyll. It's stored on GitLab Pages. The use case that I need for a blog is simple, I can write posts and user can give a thought.

I chose Jekyll as my current blog engine because I don't need a database. I can store all of them in static contents. What about comment system? I can use third-party software, like Disqus.

I doubt it's the same pop-up. This one specifically states: 'Based on your update settings you're scheduled to upgrade on ...'. Just closing the pop-up wouldn't change this fact.

Keep telling yourself that, HN is an echo chamber. Diversity of opinion is shunned. Anything that does not fit the SJW narrative will be down voted to death like this very comment.
Yeah, I don't doubt the usefulness of the symbol table. I'm probably thinking of the distributable in Windows, where you... don't really do such things.

IIRC the coding convention of glibc is that most functions (and probably all public functions) are contained in their own files. So it effectively results in the similar effect, even when `-ffunction-sections` is missing.
Sure. Just so we are clear though, there is a huge difference between being regarded and treated as a potential pedophile/kidnapper (father at a playground) vs. simply an outsider.
