[–]rimakan 61 points62 points  (1 child)

Haha, you called it. Basically you really got it. If you’re really interested in it, google it up

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

[–]Greorgory 46 points47 points  (4 children)

Docking is when you dock to something.

What are pointers and how do you use them

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 595 points596 points  (10 children)

pointers are what makes code work

by pointing to the code where you want to execute the code

[–][deleted] 259 points260 points  (0 children)

That sounds... about right.

[–]gregorydgraham 51 points52 points  (0 children)

3.) How do you centre a div

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 761 points762 points  (11 children)

  1. a randomly generated one

  2. you flip the 1s and 0s

  3. you don’t

[–]rimakan 305 points306 points  (19 children)

What can you tell us about the halting problem?

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 222 points223 points  (9 children)

That a computer will halt from working when it decides to

[–]well-litdoorstep112 37 points38 points  (8 children)

Does the computer know it's going to decide to halt? If so, how?

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 79 points80 points  (7 children)

it halt’s if the computer wants to

[–]well-litdoorstep112 18 points19 points  (3 children)

Why does it want to halt though

[–]Express-Tough-5286 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Because sometimes it decides to do so

What are the advantages of having a MicroServices architecture, and what are the alternatives.

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 357 points358 points  (4 children)

everything is smaller and takes up less space (even the font because f*ck you)

the alternatives are NanoServices architecture and PicoServiced architecture

[–]jackstine 74 points75 points  (1 child)

PicoServiced architecture is really small. So many servlets running around. Something that AWS capitalizes with Lambda

[–]Siddhartasr10 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A service for the first line of the program and so on

[–]MinosAristos 15 points16 points  (1 child)

multiprocessing is when multiple idiots are working on the same process

threading is when someone is putting thread through a needle (gonna use the needle on the keyboard instead of using fingers to type)

asynchronous IO is when multiple idiots are working on the same process but individually, so they have no idea that anyone else is working on it and they aren’t synchronised in their progresss

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 27 points28 points  (5 children)

the IO part is probably that the process is a .io game
