It’s a fun toy for learning (and clicks, let’s be honest).
It’s not a serious attempt at a high performance cluster or an exercise in building an optimal computing platform.
Enjoy the experiment and the uniqueness of it. Nobody is going to be choosing this as their serious compute platform.
- analognoise 4y agoIn TFA, isn't Jetbrains using it as a CI system?
- bee_rider 4y agoTangential, but it is so funny to me that “TFA” has become a totally polite and normal way to refer to the linked article on this site. Expanding that acronym would really change the tone!
- OJFord 4y agoI'm not sure it is 'totally polite'? I usually read it as having a 'did you even open it' implication that 'OP' or 'the submission' doesn't. Maybe that's just me.
- bee_rider 4y agoMaybe it isn’t totally polite, but it IMO it reads in this case more like slight correction than “In the fucking article,” which would be pretty aggressive, haha.
- cyberpunk 4y agoI always thought it meant “the featured article”; I must be a lot more wholesome than previously indicated!
- lmz 4y agoUnless they need something Pi specific I don't understand why this would be preferable versus just virtualizing instances on a "big ARM" server. I'm sure those exist.
