What amazes me more is that I have the original of this one (from it's original posting), which was posted maybe 2 days ago at most, it has already been shared and re-downloaded enough to start showing compression artifacts.
To anyone wondering, this is the original xkcd, before r/programmerhumor started progressively extending it after the cloudflare and aws outages took the whole web with them
I’m “C developers writing dynamic arrays”. My project at work (which is mostly C) has its own custom dynamic array (and hash table, etc). It’s not like this is some highly-optimized domain-specific version. I guess it is domain-specific but it’s worse than a CS class implementation. I do have permission to fix it though so wish me luck
Semiconductors and microchips don't emerge out of nothing.
Lots of engineered civil wars and conflict minerals, slavery and green washed slavery are in the base along with electricity. Rare earth driven boycotts, a certain American govt sponsoring and executing coups, ongoing genocides. Tech lives on blood essentially.
I chuckled at the “whatever Microsoft is doing”.
That and AI are historically accurate.
Is that the shark chewing the undersea network cable?
Yes, the fiber that is at the bottom of the ocean. Happens more often than you think
well then they shouldn't have put nice chew-toys for the sharks in the ocean.
Yes
Oooooooh, i was trying to figure out wtf that was.
This has expanded more and more each time I've seen it in the last few weeks

People are very creative aren't they
You know a meme is good when it looks moldy after just 2 days

Wow, that means there's a second relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1683
Honestly I find it funny to see an even further extension of the meme every six hours or so.
It’s the low effort chuckle I live for
Right? I just shared a previous version 15 minutes ago on a Discord server. Now I need to update my update.
Telecommunications infrastructure is still missing
I work in telecom and trust me you don't want to have it included
It's just a ball of wire. CATS EVERYWHERE!
Me2, that is why I want it included. Ours are really clean and structured.
And the electrical grid really is NOT that solid, it's a house of cards itself
It is. The stick just just too thin to see.
Def missing a Backhoe somewhere in here
Yeah that would make sense as an addition to the sharks
Where is ffmpeg?!
Oh I'm saving this for future reference
With the aging American power grid, I think that block is wayyyy too solid!

Do I dare ask? Can we go deeper?
Too fucking accurate.
This is hella funny
Left-Pad, I had forgotten about that.
IBM?
Forgot ASML
It's all just derivative of https://xkcd.com/2347/ which is five years old at this point?
Something is missing.

What is IBM doing?
can we put a big pile of steaming shit in the middle with the text 'crypto'.
I want to move from JVM to C Developers writing dynamic arrays.
FFMPEG????
I’m missing caffeine below electricity
Is this coincidence that Rust is targeted at Oracle?
