To work on our project on any routine day, requires 5 instances of Visual Studio. Out project consists of about 10 different solutions each containing from 30 to 138 projects. Our development boxes only have 32 GB and we also have ReSharper installed.
Let me say that switching from one instance of VS to another takes about 30 seconds for it to page memory in and out.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Egads. Thankfully I'm not dealing with that. I assume your Pointy-Haired Boss types realize what a PITA the ass this is, and have turned down reasonable amounts of RAM (I'm guessing 128GB or more)?
Not to brag, but my boss asks us fairly often if we need anything. If it was something cheap like RAM or disk he'd pop for it in a second.

Not sure about the HW simulator, but why can you not debug all instances in a single VS? Is it a lack of resources on your system that prevents you loading everything into a single VS instance?
The new VS 2022 is 64 bit, and can handle a large app memory footprint. And while I haven't tried it, it can supposedly work across multiple repositories for the same solution at the same time too.

We're using VS2019. Part of the debugging and testing requires each of the separate processes to exit and restart with the others running. There doesn't appear to be any way to "stop debugging" on an individual process, even using the Debug Processes window. You can detach from a process, kill it with Task Manager, start it again outside Studio, and then attach to it, but that's really cumbersome.
The workflow is just simpler running everything in separate instances.

As do every other billionaire and their cronies. Most of them want to restrict what you do and expand what they do. In either case you don't have freedom or choice. They fund all these messages to say you shouldn't fly and then own their own jets. They say you should minimize, and they buy multiple houses on beach front property around the world.

It's about a 20% premium to yesterday's close but is predicated on financing and regulatory approval. I think the latter will be a challenge. The excuse will be that it shouldn't be private, but the true reason will be that they don't want the censorship to end.

Go to the head of the class! Continued censorship of 'other' speech is the goal.

Except his wealth isn't a sign of his success or his smarts -- it is a sign of his lack of humanity.
And the ONLY way you can view it as "winning" is from a sociopathic point of view.
What YOU are doing is called "Simping for Capatilists" (look it up).

Don't forget that most of Musk's wealth is in stock, which while relatively easily converted to cash via sales, will result in taxes and potential stock price drops. I don't think there'll be a Tesla stock price drop from this because Musk has said why he's selling, but at least one investment bank will panic and sell, thereby losing money that they'll attempt to blame Musk for (it's happened before).

Smart Rich People (Gates) do NOT sell their stock easily.
Instead, they borrow against it, which has ZERO tax implications, and usually gives them an INSANELY good rate, since the loan is guaranteed.
In Gates Case, this is how he built his house. And I believe he waited for the price of MSFT to quadruple from when he took the loan out. Then he sold. Paid half in taxes, and the other half, paid off the loan. he bought the house, effectively for the interest he paid.
Money... When you have a enough of it, is an amazing thing. And generally, Rich people defer and defray taxes far better than the middle class. Who absorbs them. (Would you spend $800k up front and $200k/yr to SHELTER your income taxes? Not if you make what a developer makes! But if you made MILLIONS a year. Heck Yeah!)

Wealth is not a sign of lack of humanity. Musk is something of a corporate welfare queen, but he's also an innovator. If only we had capitalism, instead of what is primarily corporatism (the symbiotic relationship between government and big business).

No, not directly a sign, but the latter is often used to drive the former, so that should not be denied either. There is enough of a correlation for me that I want to see proof of humanity first before I will find the subject worthy of praise.
In order to make it to the top without being a snake in a suit, you really have to be clever and quick, and I won't deny Musk has both in some fields, but that still does not prove he isn't a snake also. The truth is, I just don't know.
There is no need for me to hold him in any kind of special high regard. I still have "don't look up" echoing somewhere on my retina.

Dehumanizing the wealthy as predatory criminals is a nice way to set up for a purge, isn't it?
Most of us have seen this play already and we know how it ends.

I have seen this discussion trick already.
Just don't put words in my mouth, ok? And, now that we're at it, don't pretend that you didn't try it ..

You asked for proof of humanity.
Elon Musk has to prove his humanity to you?

"to hold him in any kind of special high regard" I wrote. Don't leave that out.

That doesn't change the message.
He still has to prove his humanity - which is something that should be granted.
My guess is you meant: He has to demonstrate some sort of moral fibre.
If that is the case then we're in agreement.

I could not disagree with you more.
Socialism, and Communism died a long time ago. (Think Russia)
Elon Musk has succeeded in a very demanding and and cut-throat environment.
Do you feel the same way about Bill Gates? Or Steve Jobs?
Wealth is attained by providing goods and services that people want, and need.
Those guys worked hard and took risks that most people on this earth would not.
Adam Smith's "Supply and Demand" isn't just a good idea, it's the law.
I know you are entitled to your opinion, but so am I, and this is mine.
I do wish you well.

With all due respect, but that's a very naive point of view.
A whole lot of people work hard and take risks, yet only very few of them are this disproportionately rich.
People like Bezos, Musk and Gates are this wealthy because of luck, being at the right place at the right time, possibly with the right product.
I'm not saying they didn't work hard, and you can enforce luck to some extent, but luck is still a huge factor.
And then when they get that lucky break, and the money comes rolling in, there's no stopping it.
These companies buy out their competition, have the best lawyers, pay relatively few tax, are so ingrained in every day life it's nearly impossible to fight them (or not use them, for that matter)...
People who say "just don't use Facebook" are probably unaware that even if they don't have a FB account, FB is still harvesting their data because every website with a FB like/share-button is sharing their browser- and usage data with FB.
Yes, they are that powerful and omnipresent, you can't not-use them.
As for "lack of humanity", Musk threatened to close an entire factory, making hundreds of people jobless, because he didn't like the state's (temporary) COVID rules (I don't know if he ultimately did it).
The richest person on earth, Bezos, is paying his employees the minimum of the minimum while conditions wouldn't even be legal in most of Europe.
Steve Jobs was known for being a real a**hole.
None of them have any difficulty with moving production to China for the lowest possible wages and the worst conditions.
Meanwhile their huge hunger for even more of our (often illegally gotten, sold or traded) data is slowly killing off the planet with their huge data centers.
The petrochemical industry is even worse, they've actively hidden reports that showed them they were killing the planet for decades.
The rich pharmaceuticals have more than once been compared to maffia, and not because they are such good and hard working people.
Your supply and demand is also not that simple.
For example, there's a huge demand for healthcare workers and teachers, yet they won't earn as much as an average IT consultant.
There's now a huge demand for houses and prices go up, yet after WWII there was an equal demand for houses, but prices didn't go up simply because people couldn't afford them if they did.
You are entitled to your opinion, but I find it a dangerous one, because if we can't call out these people and companies for what they are, lucky and evil to some extent, we can't fight them and we can't make this world a better place.
