How do you utilize your personal computing power?
3 by gabesullice | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Last year, I built a computer with 64GB of RAM and the latest and greatest desktop i9 processor. When working off my laptop, I can definitely appreciate that my desktop is a more capable development machine since compilations and my IDE project indexes happen almost instantaneously (and boy can I open a lot of browser tabs), but I still feel like I'm under-utilizing my machine. What processes do you run that make you appreciate all the processing power and memory available to us nowadays? I'm already aware of things like folding@home and I'm not a gamer, so I'm more interested in the "personal" side of personal computation.
