Employee that was mining crypto on the side is hella stoked at this news.
makes sense

Meanwhile his mate sitting across from him was gpu mining

So, the bonus goes to the guy who was playing Factorio when he should have been working?
Land_Strider@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Isn’t Factorio very optimized, not in the sense that it uses all system resources completely, but in the sense that it has very efficient code enabling millions of operations and increasing without needing much more system resources to scale it?
I would definitely go with Arma in this case. Although it has very heavy calculations for a lot of things to start with, it can’t scale well and cause CPU bottleneck very soon.
dfc09@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Factorio definitely taxes CPU usage heavily if you’re building a mega base. Don’t get me wrong, it’s gotta be a big ass base, but you could just import somebody’s monstrosity and run it in the background.
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years ago
It is pretty well optimized. I think it might not be, like, genius-level amazing, but the devs care about performance and worked to improve it.
In the end though, it’s a game where the entire map (as generated so far) is simulated - I think there’s cases where chunks go to sleep, but it’s not Minecraft’s “stop simulating anything not next to a player”. When combined with players building lots of machines moving many, many items around, you’ll inevitably end up with some serious CPU usage. Not a problem on a decent computer, but I have had friends struggle on weak laptops, even getting dropped as they literally couldn’t keep up with the server.

So i played through factorio once and i gotta say cpu isn’t that big of a problem. Ram is tho. Had 20% cpu utilisation in my end base but like 80% ram usage. I had 16 gb at that time, i specifically bought 64 gb just to make sure i can play factorio without problems😂

If you want to crush a cpu it’s Dwarf Fortress time.

I’m glad to hear this is fake but it seemed 100% believable to me
homesnatch@lemm.ee 2 years ago
The part where it said “Christmas Bonus” should have been the tip off…
extant@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Or just “bonus.”
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
That’s the joke.
Elon is so random and unpredictable that you can make up just about anything about him and nobody will really know if it’s satire or not…

I haven’t even had to turn my heater on during work hours this year thanks to Android Studio.
kattenluik@feddit.nl 2 years ago
The install process for Android Studio should also prompt you to download more ram, it’s unacceptable that they don’t.
zzx@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Lmao true. Having to open that piece of shit always causes me so much pain
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
I wonder how my CPU is benchmarking since 3 minutes ago?
Conyak@lemmy.tf 2 years ago
I assume this is fake since no one at X is getting a Christmas bonus.
lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 years ago
it was edited from “salary” to “christmas bonus”

Run prime95 in the background of all of your work. Even when you go home, leave it running… 24/7 100% CPU usage.

norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 2 years ago
So those who misuse company assets to enrich themselves b mining crypto get rewarded by larger bonuses? Sounds like the way the world works for those super rich fellas like Elon “Edgelord” Musk.
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I so hope this is fake, because this is so stupid, even by Space Karen standards.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Wasn’t he firing people based on number of, or lack of, code commits at one point? Even if this isn’t real, it’s still very on-brand.
MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 2 years ago
That’s what this is satirizing, yeah
InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 2 years ago
He was also doing that examination by having people print out the code for him to read apparently

skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
I have no idea but I had the same question. I also love the fact that We’d believe that he’d do something like this.
Please tell me it’s real.
AlexJD@feddit.uk 2 years ago
Oh god he’d actually do this and employees would have to try to get the weakest CPU possible so percentage utilisation would be higher.
Vilian@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
just run a stress cpu program 24/7

Allright, everyone install Prime95 for best bonus.

I’d have the biggest bonus at my company.

Prime95 for maximum bonus!

Better yet, mine monero on as many machines as possible for extra profit
Smk@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
He should base it off RAM too. I mean, when you work, you must have millions of tabs open.

If we’re going of usage percentage I would like the finest single core system as my daily work machine.

Fake for any of those wondering.
But keeping employees based on how many lines of code they have written, which he did, is essentially the same logic.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Ernest Hemingway was paid by the word, which shows in his work. I imagine this pay structure would have a similar effect on how people code.
Lamps@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that saying was for Dickens? Wasn’t Hemingway famously terse?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I’m not a coder, but wanting code that isn’t streamlined seems like a bad plan to me.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I would do so poorly there, in many ways …. I love those days when my lines of code is negative
TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years ago
There are 2 things in coding that are incredibly satisfying for me:
Compiling after implementing a fuckton of features
Deleting a massive amount of code after refactoring for a while
whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 years ago
My ass would just write functions that take a huge amount of parameters and assign one in each line

Oh the amount of redundant code I would write
