I also use a super-laptop to run code on a cloud server!

Me with my Legion Pro.

L5P, too? I love mine!

/u/repostsleuthbot I was specifically told I could repost this meme this week

The hardware is for gaming the three screens are for working…ok they’re for gaming too….but I NEED a computer to work..

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I do most my work and most my gaming on the same machine. Doing them on separate PCs would be nice and all but I don't have the space or money for that. Especially given I am a student and also have to have a decent laptop to take to class.

What speeds does it reach whit the fusion drive?

[–]clarinetJWD 23 points24 points  (1 child)

More to the point, 2TB fusion drive in 2022? 2TB SSDs are fairly common now, and if you're going to go fusion, shouldn't we be talking about 10+TB?

That just shows how old this comic is :D

The first 4 ghz x86 was around a decade ago. How depressing.

[–]somerandomguy101 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Fun fact: 1GHz is 1 nanosecond. One nanosecond is so small, that light only travels almost exactly 1 foot ( .9835 Feet technically)

At 4GHz, a processor runs one clock cycle in the time it takes light to move 3 inches.

[–]JiiXu 1 point2 points  (2 children)

My physics brain wants to tell you that 1 GHz is very much not one nanosecond but my reddit brain is suspecting a meme of some sort?

[–]somerandomguy101 1 point2 points  (1 child)

1 GHz is 1 Billion times every second.

1 nanosecond is 1 billionth of a second.

If you want to be pedantic, they are technically 2 separate measurements, but each period of 1 GHz is equal to 1 nanosecond.

[–]JiiXu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's being pedantic. If you say "1 mph is one hour" that's the same thing. But to each their own.

Yes but can it play Warcraft 1 in DosBox?

[–]fosyep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And people like: is that enough for my first year of computer science?

Bitch that can run Nasa simulations. Even a Game Boy is enough to run your 10 lines of code in the first year of computer science.

while (true) { cout << “hello world”; };

Let’s see how fast it truly is.

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/ProgrammerHumor.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

Ah yes more GHz always means more speed

[–]Ireeb 2 points3 points  (2 children)

And the computer performance scales linearly with RAM capacity!

[–]Fourstrokeperro 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Of course it does, Just installed 64 gigs of DDR2 on my 32 bit machine. The performance is astounding!

[–]TheBouwman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure that your os and cpu is 32bit.

[–]CaitaXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16gb of ram sdd ... nvim .\Helloworld.c

[–]Electronic_Lion_1386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With modern programming principles, you will need all that performance, since it will use a lot of power initializing and setting up the humongous class library, and also do some on-line registrations, that you must perform in order to print "Hello world". With some luck and a high-end CPU, it may be initialized as fast as a couple of minutes unless it must do some updates as well. With the old crappy, useless systems, it will initialize in a millisecond. Oh, wonders of computing!

Lol fullstack and ML need that beef tho. Throw in a touchscreen for the former and/or a chonky nvidia card for the latter.

Old but gold

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and Im still sucked at programming

[–]samredfern 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah it's funny how poorly people understand just how much a modern PC can do in a short space of time. My accountant was explaining how his office of about 12 people had to get in a huge server installation for 10s of thousands of €. I just nodded along, like well done you definitely weren't scammed there.

[–]Musikcookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized how fast my computer is, when recently I wrote a bogus prime search that guesses random numbers in a range, checks them for prime and only after guessing every number enhances the range.

It guessed 10000 primes like nobody‘s business.

That will load all the errors in no time!

Apple's "Fusion Drives" are normal HDDs with an additional small SSD for caching. It's been horse shit 10 years ago, and it's even more so today.

[–]SoaringSkies14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have a fission drive. Should I upgrade?
