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.
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.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that saying was for Dickens? Wasn’t Hemingway famously terse?
I’m not a coder, but wanting code that isn’t streamlined seems like a bad plan to me.
I would do so poorly there, in many ways …. I love those days when my lines of code is negative
Employee that was mining crypto on the side is hella stoked at this news.
So, the bonus goes to the guy who was playing Factorio when he should have been working?
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.
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.
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😂
I’m glad to hear this is fake but it seemed 100% believable to me
That’s because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!
I haven’t even had to turn my heater on during work hours this year thanks to Android Studio.
