  • There’s a reason a number of large companies that self-insure mandate backing in for all their vehicles (Schlumberger, Cargill); it’s demonstrably safer practice that results in less accidents when leaving the parking space. You can see everything when you back in that was there when you pulled up, and when you pull out, you’re right up front looking forward into the lane as you pull out. You quickly learn how to back in, even without a backup camera, if you learn how to use your mirrors.

    It is by far the statistically less accident prone method.









  • RDP is very well developed and an open standard. I don’t have a lot good to say about Microsoft, but RDP is one of their wins. It’s blazingly fast compared to any other remote desktop protocol and there’s an extremely full-featured client for Linux in FreeRDP that can be used at the CLI or with one of the various wrappers for it.

    If every distro just shipped and supported it for their desktops, it would make life much easier than knitting together the current underperforming patchwork of solutions for Linux.
