Programmer Humor

Somehow I feel over clicking without understanding of the consequences sounds like something a techbro would do

Can't be a relational database, Musk said the government doesn't use SQL.

You guys arent running your software off raspberry pi's with sdcards from the gas station?

My allowance is 5$ a month!

Or wrote the code using AI without checking what it exactly does.

Doesn't actually say that 60k overheated his drive. He says that he ran a run on 60k, and that he couldn't do the whole database due to overheating. Two unrelated statements except that 60k is the lower bound for what he could process.

Doesn't mean he knows what he's doing though, as pretty huge datasets are processable on quite modest hardware if you do it right.

You can put 60k rows in Excel 95.

Not if each row is pi!

it is a thing, but any competently designed computer should have things in place to prevent this.

unless you're an arrogant dipshit and disable all the hardware safeties on your computer to make it go faster and wear harder.

When an HDD works continuously it can heat up to above 60 °C if proper air circulation is not allowed, which can cause a very premature failure. In fact, it should be kept under 40 °C to achieve the intended lifespan. Unfortunately, PC cases are usually not great at removing heat from the HDD by default.

As for your drive, it most likely has a temperature sensor so it can be displayed by various utilities.

it is, in the select event that your platter bearing fails, in which case it would be very, very obvious.

Seems like a good excuse to someone who doesn't know what they're doing and needs an excuse because why they haven't completed it yet?

The whole post is complete bs in multiple ways. So weird.

Some interesting facts about excel I learned the hard way.

1. It only supports about a million or so rows
2. It completely screws up numbers if the column is a number and the number is over 15 digits long.

Not really related to what you said, but I'm still sore about the bad data import that caused me days of work to clean up.

Are you telling me there’s a difference between an inner and a cross join?

Cross join is obviously faster, I don’t even have to write “on”

Even if it was local, a raspberry pi can handle a query that size.

Edit - honestly, it reeks of a knowledge level that calls the entire PC a "hard drive".

I'd much sooner assume that they're just fucking stupid and talking out of their ass tbh.

My one question would be "How?"

What the hell are you doing that your hard drives are overheating? How do you even know it's overheating as I'm like 90% certain hard drives (except NVMe if we're being liberal with the meaning of hard drive) don't even have temperature sensors?

The only conclusion I can come to is that everything he's saying is just bullshit.
