I want a 64-core 51GB box with this to use wih my teams. Anyones IDE will fly using that power available. Costs could be lower too (although I doubt setup and maintenance offsets the decreased hardware cost).

I posted this the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24571689 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24571689 Basically, along the same vein. I have multiple offices at my house, it would be nice to just have one POWER-horse, that I can use throughout my home when working. Instead of have to use slower-laptops occassionally. I don't understand why this hasn't been solved as a problem before.

  I think it is kind of solved, Windows for example support remote connections via remote desktop. With the desktop version you can either run local or remote session. If you run server versions you can have multiple simultaneous connections. The same things are of course available on Linux side as well I'm doing this with Windows all the time, connecting from laptop my desktop where I have all the apps running. It's pretty usable even with 4G connections.

  I think that's called docker or kubernetes these days?

  You can do this today. Enable rdc on your windows machine https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/ https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote... you can portforward or setup a vpn to make it accessible anywhere in the world. There are rdc clients for nearly every device out there (android, iphone\pad, raspberrypi, window, mac, etc)

  RDP or VNC over Ethernet is still laggy. Same reasons as why cloud gaming never takes off. There are people running super long active HDMI or USB extension cables so perhaps that kind of setup paired with HDMI splitters could work. Security is going to be an issue though.
