At the current price point, it's already DOA for that purpose.

So obviously any side effects that come from that use are going to be forgiven, right?

There are literally thousands of capable jet engines on the open market. Are they new? No. Do they have to be? Also no. Can you generate electricity way more cheaply and efficiently using other methods? Yes.

This is another junk headline for a problem that does not exist.

In many ways, sadly, the only way to succeed in corporate America is to eventually become a manager. Outside of startups and specialty organizations, people who build things rarely get compensated well.

It is great to be platform agnostic. On the other hand, I sincerely doubt that the difference in energy consumption between x86-64 and ARM is significant enough to be a concern at Google, considering their market cap is literally three trillion dollars now.

Whatever camp you're currently in is the camp you will be in for a while. Nothing new has come along recently, and AI will only keep the status quo. It's Java, PHP, .NET, or something else from here on out.

Why stop at the ISP, when you could really make a statement and also go after the power companies who provide the electricity to those homes? Make them live in the stone age! /s

By the time they even get anywhere close to breaking even (either monetarily or technologically) on this endeavor, the need for these chips will long be gone.

There are plenty of companies that are worse offenders.

There is literally nothing to gain by doing this, even in the long run.

I have always considered myself anti-DST, but with these sensationalist headlines as of late I think I may be on the other side now.

I worked in a school district for many years in a similar role as this guy. Microsoft products are dirt cheap, if not outright free, for them. Hyper-V is an obvious migration path for them that could be done in a short amount of time.

There is also plenty of open source options available as well. Will anything be a 100% drop-in replacement with every single bell and whistle? No. Will you care in the long run? Probably not.

The article also says that their current offering is only from 2019, meaning any migration should be relatively painless without the fear of any legacy systems still running.

Not a fan of VMWare and the stunt they pulled, but to act like the world is ending (and especially to drag out the claim that kids education will be harmed) without considering any viable alternatives is a bit ridiculous.

We have plenty of time to pad our profiles. Let us all claim to cure cancer, world hunger, and save each of our old companies trillions of dollars and see those offer emails roll inâ¦
