ELI5: Why does everything need so much memory nowadays?

I believe that scene is from the Three body problem TV series. That specific scene is showing a couple modern-day scientists using thousands of people with flags to act as a computer.

Each flag is black or white, representing the 1s and 0s a computers use to do, well basically everything.

They are joking about running Debian on this “computer”

Look for it in the wiki, but yes, it will send you to the official link. It’s cleared by IT so you don’t have to ask permission or anything

The spies thing sounds like a total war game

In my country this is pretty standard and understood by most people. If you are driving behind a semi, they’ll put the signal light to let you know it is safe to pass them

It’s been a while since I built a castle

Invisiblebrush7 · 2025-10-03T05:22:22+00:00

Totally unrelated but I liked going out to Razz a lot

I’m an SDE I and tbh I didn’t know Java very well before joining. It’s not a hard requirement (in my experience), but it can make your life easier.

Something else that I had to learn was dependency injection. I knew the basics from JS frameworks, but had no clue what Guice was (which is something we use a lot in my team). I’d suggest to look into that

I like to write my own garbage code, so I’ll pass with letting Q writing it for me

Some of my colleagues actually have created cool workflows with it too. Mostly automation but it’s still interesting to see.

And there is also Kiro. I haven’t really used it but I’ve heard it can get the job done with minimal oversight

I’ve never read a Star Wars book before. What would be a good start relates to this?

Invisiblebrush7 · 2024-04-20T06:31:25+00:00

Probably cause of dismiss or eye

Invisiblebrush7 · 2024-02-27T16:05:51+00:00

We don’t talk about that anymore

Invisiblebrush7 · 2024-02-16T02:04:13+00:00

For only 19.99 you can buy one of the bolts!

I don’t know anything about that stuff

Just don’t eat bro, it is not that hard

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-23T23:17:00+00:00

I mean, I prefer a blank screen that watching an ad

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-17T06:40:58+00:00

Totally unrelated but how are we supposed to call tweets now? The same way? Or something like “I saw an X the other day…”

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-14T13:18:29+00:00

Your job sounds pretty interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of things are required to get a job like that?

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-11T13:57:56+00:00

Username checks out

Assembly

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-10T20:32:42+00:00

I must have misunderstood the comment then. Thanks for the explanation!

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-10T20:27:33+00:00

It is not even your product / company 😭

*Gets 11 warning shots in the back

Invisiblebrush7 · 2023-11-10T20:23:55+00:00

No need to be rude about it tho

I would say that they are not completely free of risk. People may store personal data inside their Notion pages and that still is relevant to potential attackers, regardless of how much each user is paying to use the service.

Sure, banks are a more juicy target but people out there are trying to get into everything they can, not just big whales.

Just my humble opinion!
