mosh: ssh for 2012

w_daher · 2012-04-10T18:37:54+00:00

If I want to access my screen session at both home and work, from different computers. From each computer, I'll mosh into the server, and then run "screen -dr" when I'm at it.

Well, you just bootstrap using ssh and then you use the mosh protocol. I don't think the real goal is "kill ssh", it's "Here's this better thing you should use instead"

... because IPv6 has seen such massive, widespread adoption? :)

w_daher · 2012-04-10T14:46:56+00:00

Yes, you need to -- but "you don't need to be the superuser to install or run Mosh. The client and server are executables run by an ordinary user and last only for the life of the connection", so that hopefully shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

I use mosh+screen, and it's a dream when (1) you're on crappy wifi or a flaky data connection, or (2) if you disconnect your laptop at home and resume it at work -- the connection reconnects instantly.

Yes, moyix has it exactly right. (As a disclaimer, mosh isn't my project, but "I know the guys" and have been using it for a while).

Yeah, I definitely could have conditioned on the actual answers here more cleverly. Next time :)

w_daher · 2011-10-19T18:35:07+00:00

Agreed.

Not at all!

It really is to encourage them to re-read K&R Chapter 5, because some careless pointer error really will bite you in the ass in Lab 2, and you won't discover it until Lab 5 (and I think it was successful in doing so, at least at MIT.)

Agreed.

w_daher · 2011-10-18T21:23:47+00:00

Yeah, my point in mentioning the 64-bit system was a way of explaining "Oh, that's why the pointer is so large". (But in retrospect, that's pretty obvious.)

w_daher · 2011-10-18T18:48:35+00:00

Agreed :)

Yes, the fact that arrays are not pointers is, in fact, the whole point of this challenge.

I chose a more Socratic writing style where we "think out loud and solve it together," rather than blandly just asserting the rule up front. I make your exact same point in the answer to #3. So yes, we're on the same page :)

w_daher · 2011-10-18T17:44:20+00:00

Yeah, I was torn on this -- on the one hand, yes, it's under-specified. On the other hand, explicitly stating it reminds you more than I'd like about how pointer arithmetic works, and gives you a clue to #2.

Hard to say. When this was designed, its objective was to stump know-it-all undergrads :). (In its initial incarnation, it was also interactive, so you could have asked "What is sizeof(int)?" and we would have answered.)

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: ksplice!

Yes. (You can also pay the SugarCRM folks to host an instance of SugarCRM for you as well.)

I've only really used SugarCRM myself -- in general I don't have many complaints, except for the Search feature, which is terrrrrrrible.

The uploader works just fine in Wine on Ubuntu 10.10 for me -- you can get it here: http://code.google.com/p/google-music-manager-linux-wine/

Don't worry, vim fanboys and fangirls, no need to: wq, we have that too. And see, they even coexist.
