minus-squareStitch0815@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 days agoYes And while not exactly applicable for the computer example but generally everytime this example is brought up ROMANS DID NOT HAVE 40 FUCKING TON TRUCKS Much less so 100s per hour Roman infrastructure was/is impressive no doubt But not that impressive
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoYeah, the damage curve is exponential by axle weight.
minus-squareanton@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoNot quite, but fourth power may as well be.
minus-squareStarDreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 days agoNah. The dumpster fire known as gcc still survived until this day. There’s a reason why almost every new optimization/language starts with llvm.
