Programmer Humor

60k rows of anything will be pulled into the file cache and do very little work on the drive. Possibly none after the first read.

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??

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they'll do the 'full' data grab and 'find' what they were looking for.

No matter what actually happened here we can confidently state this clown is full of shit and has no idea what he's doing.

They even doubled down: https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1900565922831618202#m

What’s the bet the software they downloaded is malware and it’s crypto mining?

Is this a real post? I can’t seemed to find it on that website “X, formerly known as Twitter.”

I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

“I store my records on vinyl. You’ve probably never heard of them.”

Maybe he left his shed lizard skin on top of the hard drive that caused the overheating?

I didn't know hard drive overheating was a thing. Should I be worried that my 5 year old hard drive is about to overheat. I mean is this actually a floppy disk or something?

IT guy checking in.

The only time I've even seen drive temp sensor alarms is on server raid arrays and other similar hard drives/SSDs.... Never in my life have I seen one available on a consumer device, nor have I seen any alarm for and drive temp, go off. It just doesn't happen.

IMO, this is one of those language barriers where people call their computer chassis (and everything in it) the "hard drive".

Applying that assumption, their updated statement is: His computer over heated.

Idk what kind of shit system he's running on that 60k rows would cause overheating, but ok.
