Literally every time someone dismisses Wikipedia, it's because they believe something crazy that Wikipedia told them is wrong.

I checked conservapedia once, and its actually unhinged. If someone tells you to look at that, or reccommends it, they're crazy.

Molly White is very bright, and she makes them feel inadequate so they "have to" attack her. It's truly pathetic.

“YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS” is such a fucking pussy-ass response, too.

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??

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 15 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Substring searches in unindexed large string columns or cartesian explosion caused by shitty joins would be my initial guess.

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

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 88 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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?

[–] monkeyman512@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer "the hard drive" like grandma and the fans kicked on.

Skill issue, as the kids like to say.

60k lol.

I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.

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.
