What software is everyone using to access OSX desktop remotely? VNC? Royal TSX? is Apple Remote Desktop overkill? How is Apple Remote Desktop really any different from VNC? I am asking because I want to remote into my apple computer from home to do some work sometimes. Looking for a good solution. I find VNC weird with resolution sometimes depending where you're connecting from. (ie. connecting from my 2k monitor at home to a 4k retina generally isn't the greatest experience.) lol internet. fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Disclaimer: Please run whatever remote solution you choose by your IT guys first. Unvetted remote access is generally never a great idea and could get you in some hot water depending on your industry. Does your company offer VPN access? If so the easiest thing is just VPN and Remote Desktop, but admittedly you mentioned this was subpar for you. I've had good luck with MFA-enabled TeamViewer

lol internet. posted:What software is everyone using to access OSX desktop remotely? ARD is basically VNC with extra security stuff bolted on top. That being said, I'd recommend ARD for incoming over-the-internet connectivity over vanilla VNC.

Anyone use Atom for text editing? If so, worthy replacement for Sublime Text?

AutisticAwl posted:Anyone use Atom for text editing? If so, worthy replacement for Sublime Text? Performance-wise, ST and Code feel very similar, though Code will fall over if you try to open very large text files with it. It's an issue with all Electron apps, but it happens rarely enough that it's almost never worth worrying about. When it is an issue, you can open the file in ST instead

IAmKale posted:If you're considering moving from Sublime to something else, just use VS Code. Code is light-years faster than Atom, and the community support is there. I moved from ST because, for what I do, VS Code included a lot of functionality out of the box that I otherwise had to install as plugins. VSCode is the one where it can auto-recognize code from a mile away?

redeyes posted:You guys are paying 80 bux for a text editor? Really? (Sublime)  A text editor is a tool in a programmer's toolbox. As is the case in many trades, it's often worth it to pay for superior tools as they typically last longer and let you be more productive. If a cheaper/free alternative allows you to maximize your productivity then go for it, but don't dismiss something just because it costs money.

VS Code's Intellisense stuff is really good, especially for any language with any direct support from Microsoft (C/C++, Javascript/Typescript, the various dot-net languages, etc). Some of the plugins extend that further, like some Javascript ones that will try to predict what other library files you're using and automatically insert imports for you.

redeyes posted:You guys are paying 80 bux for a text editor? Really? (Sublime) I got in when it was $70, but yes. I'm in my editor 6-7 hours a day so it's not that hard to justify. VSCode being a thing now makes it a tougher sell, especially if you aren't sensitive to its Electron bloat/churn. Code does what it can to mitigate it, pretty smart about responding to keystrokes while things haven't fully loaded in for example, but Sublime just doesn't have those delays in the first place. I kinda alternate between Sublime, Code & Neo/vim. Sublime: +Speed, +Easy, -Terminal Code: -Speed, +Easy, +Terminal Vim: +Speed, -Easy, +Terminal

The 10.13.2 Supplemental update wrecked my Mac Mini. It got stuck in a loop where it said the installer package was screwed up. I was able to boot into safe mode and then recovery mode. Tried re-downloading the update (1.6GB) and it restarted and crashed again. I have recent Time Machine backups did a recovery boot and am trying to re-install High Sierra. What a mess. I am really starting to think that the rMBP might be the last Mac computer I own. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jan 18, 2018 |

On a separate note - holy loving poo poo the macOS installer is huge for High Sierra. ~23 gigs?

I think like 2013. Spent two hours and booted with command-R and reinstalled High Sierra without a lot of fuss but it took a long time. Can I just wait this out until the next OS update and that should “roll in” the previous update?

It’s a 2012. My bad. So anyways I reinstalled High Sierra and after that the supplemental update appeared to install fine.  I’d love to get a new Mac Mini but I think Apple has pretty much abandoned that product line.

Just use whatever text editor works for you. Eventually you will reach a point where you want feature X and Y and your editor doesn't do it and that's when you can shop around. I use Sublime because a former employer bought me a personal license. Otherwise I'd probably still be using TextWrangler, because I'm cheap and I don't do much dev at home.

I'm kind of curious about you guys who use text editors like Sublime over IDE. I assume it's for more functional/shell based programming right? I can't imagine someone using sublime for like, Swift or Java. Maybe C#, C++, C? But perhaps someone can clue me in on what that kind of workflow looks like. Like debugging do you use something else or do they actually have good debugging extensions? Thinking about switching over myself which is why I ask. Fake edit: just realize people probably use them for web stuff right? Not really where I program so didn't think of that. Nude fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jan 18, 2018 |

I've never been able to get productive with vscode for Java. The better code completion and extra features (go to definition, create call/type hierarchy, find all references, etc) of an IDE designed for Java are just too embedded in my workflow.

Like debugging do you use something else or do they actually have good debugging extensions? Thinking about switching over myself which is why I ask. There are plugins for IDE-like features. There's good support for project files, code completion for almost any language, code style/quality linter etc. You'd have to use an external debugger. You can easily set up a shortcut to start a debug session from Sublime. Think of it as a user-friendlier vim, not a build-your-own IDE like emacs, although you can get close. I use Sublime mostly for scripting and web work, although it's really good for Python too even large monolithic projects. It's a great replacement for vim, not a great replacement for IntelliJ or Xcode etc. Pivo fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Jan 18, 2018 |

I just use vim on the command line, TextMate for slightly bigger projects or weird file types, and Xcode for iOS work. Of the three, vim is by far the best, it just as a loving huge learning curve.

I tried recording a conversation on my mbp using quicktime (so it's an m4a file), and the audio picked up my voice fine but the other person is super faint, not sure why. Any free software I can use to boost the faint parts? With volume cranked all the way I can hear it, but it's a struggle.
