Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
This sounds like trying to do stuff in Excel? The computer isn't overheating but the amount of memory needed is very high which would make it run poorly. They might interpret that as overheating?
It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer "the hard drive" like grandma and the fans kicked on.
Is this a real post? I can’t seemed to find it on that website “X, formerly known as Twitter.”
I used to perform data analysis of robotics firmware logs which would generate several million log lines per hour and that was my second job out of college.
I don't know how you fuck up 60k lines that bad. Is he nesting 150 for loops and loading a copy of the data set in each one while mining crypto??
60k lol.
I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.
What in the fuck is this idiot doing? I've process datasets far larger than that and never once have I run into a hard drive "overheat". I mean what level of incompetence do you have to have to get a hard drive to overheat processing a measley 60K rows of data?
Skill issue, as the kids like to say.
I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.
What is this, a table for ants? Because that’s the average number of ants in an ant colony and it’s nowhere near an impressive amount of rows to be doing any sort of processing on. It wouldn’t be an impressive amount of rows if your rig was an i386DX-33 running off a 5” floppy.
I bet a million bucks the harddrive didnt "overheat".
Its just someone who doesnt know anything about computer hardware.
Its like me saying my car overheated if there is smoke coming out of it. I know nothing about cars.
They even doubled down: https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1900565922831618202#m
