How do people find the time to make stuff like this??

yiransheng11y ago

As a matter of fact, with some external tools like MCEdit, it's not really as time consuming as it seems. A lot of large scale of Minecraft redstone contraptions are modular in nature, once you build and validate the basic idea, scaling up is just a matter of copy-pasting.

In my experience, the initial research/designing phase takes quite some hours (typically a good weekend), scaling up is must faster. In addition, most players who are into this typically have a number of creative worlds serve as libraries of past builds, so you'd almost never start from scratch.

Probably by being young and not having to waste it on bullshit things like earning money to buy food and shelter.

Or he spends a lot of time on a hobby after work just like plenty of other reasonable and self-supporting people do?

Few hours ago there was 1KB model. Moore's law in Minecraft works really fast.

Someone will get a minecraft computer playing 2048 and that's all we'll be reading about for weeks.

Was there a particular need to model the World Trade Center towers with a plane flying at them? Is that part of the functionality of the hard drive?

I'm inclined to say "no", but I think most of us have deleted seemingly unnecessary appendices from code to spend a week fixing the aftermath.

It's there to show scale. Like when people put a penny next to an object in a photograph.

That's like saying "Oh that cardboard cut out of Adolf Hitler? Yeah that's just for scale." Yes, indeed it is - but there's probably more to it than that. I'll go out on a limb and say due to the presence of My Little Pony that this person has a weird interpretation of what's considered appropriate.

On topic: This hard drive is incredibly impressive, and it's fascinating to see how the density changes between a 1K HDD and a 4k HDD.

What's your plan to monetize this? There may be a few million in venture capital for this. Contact me if you want to attend our bootcamp.
