Scientific software Memes

The eternal computational arms race summed up in four panels! Scientists drool over fancy hardware specs (32 cores! 32GB RAM! 2TB NVMe!) only to use all that power for... visualizing a handful of atoms. The tiny molecular visualization on that monster rig is the computational equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox. Molecular modeling software like VESTA is notoriously resource-hungry, but this is taking it to another level. Every computational chemist just felt personally attacked.
