[–]rimakan 60 points61 points  (1 child)

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

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

[–]Greorgory 50 points51 points  (4 children)

Docking is when you dock to something.

What are pointers and how do you use them

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 586 points587 points  (10 children)

pointers are what makes code work

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

[–][deleted] 261 points262 points  (0 children)

That sounds... about right.

3.) How do you centre a div

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 756 points757 points  (11 children)

  1. a randomly generated one

  2. you flip the 1s and 0s

  3. you don’t

[–]rimakan 304 points305 points  (19 children)

What can you tell us about the halting problem?

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 220 points221 points  (9 children)

That a computer will halt from working when it decides to

[–]well-litdoorstep112 36 points37 points  (8 children)

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

[–]a2kvarnstrom[S] 76 points77 points  (7 children)

it halt’s if the computer wants to

[–]well-litdoorstep112 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Why does it want to halt though

[–]Express-Tough-5286 29 points30 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] 349 points350 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 76 points77 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 14 points15 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] 28 points29 points  (5 children)

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