My tests already take twice as long to run when I’m on a Google hangout. For my case, I’d honestly rather use more bandwidth and do minimal local processing. If my machine is slowed down any more then I might have to stop working completely and focus on the meeting I’m in!
- londons_explore 6y agoModern machines aren't really designed for real computation like running tests or compiling stuff. They're made to render webpages and load up games. Run your computation tasks on a VM in the cloud...
- dkarp 6y agoAre remote development environments common? There’s a CI server doing the heavy lifting but I still run tests constantly on a docker box while developing locally.
- londons_explore 6y agoI develop entirely remotely. Save the files on a network mounted filesystem, run shell commands over SSH/mosh, etc. The server is in the same city as me to avoid excessive latency. The benefits of being able to develop anywhere (including from a phone in a pinch), and being able to add extra CPU's and RAM at the click of a button outweigh the need for a network connection for my usecases.
- tobz1000 6y agoAdmittedly I have no idea how resource-intensive this image processing is, but it's possible that it's less of a hit than the fact that all video call programs today run on HTML+JS. If Hangouts was a native program, there would be plenty of power to spare.
