There were plenty of those, including commercial ones.

It's pretty hard to find but ~25 years ago I was using Xi Graphics Accelerated-X which had 3D acceleration long before Xfree86.

Update: but yes I imagine it had some code from original MIT release.

For completely independent one you can have a look at WeirdX/WiredX, which was written in Java and even supported antialiasing and transparency for core protocol (something that Xfree86 people claimed to be impossible to implement).

It's surprisingly hard to find this stuff today: https://web.archive.org/web/20250220140358/http://www.jcraft...

How come there are still no 4K 60fps KVM devices?

Software solutions like Moonlight/Sunshine have been able to do that with near-zero latency for a long time and they are not even the first. Phones have chips capable of capturing 4K 120fps. Why is it so hard for KVM devices?

The C++ plugin is included in Android Studio which is essentially a distribution of IntelliJ. There seems to be no technical reason for not allowing it in full IntelliJ.

With some work on better tooling it could've been used to detect and thwart supply chain attacks, which are a growing concern. Process level sandboxing is too coarse.

Why not combine zero width character with visible character, i.e. use 2 characters for separators?

,<FS> for fields \n<RS> for records

This removes ambiguity in parsing and remains user readable. It's also relatively easy to auto-fix files edited by users in normal editors.

It also mostly removes need for escaping.

It's also smaller or same size as unicode multibyte characters (haven't checked).

It also works great with almost but not-quite HiDPI screens such as commonly available and cheap 4K 27" monitors. You can scale them at 150% and with ClearType it looks as good as super expensive 6K Mac screen.

In fact since cleartype effectively triples resolution I guess you get quality of 12K display?
