In my data wrangling class today I showed a couple of database things, e.g. reading an 80GB CSV into duckdb and querying it. To make the point that you don't need a supercomputer I did it on a 16GB Mac Mini that lives in my house. R and Emacs inside tmux. The best part: at the end, I closed my laptop. But a student had a question, so I reopened it. Tailscale reconnected the ssh session and tmux reattached the still-running Emacs and R as if nothing had happened. Good WHAT SORCERY moment.
