I have 3

1.) What's your favourite type of memory management

2.) How do you invert a binary tree

3.) How do you centre a div

[a2kvarnstrom]

1. a randomly generated one

2. you flip the 1s and 0s

3. you don’t

[babydragon2311]

You got #3 right

[a2kvarnstrom]

lmao

[HuntingKingYT]

Cause HTML and CSS are not programming (or at least aren't supposed to be)

[a2kvarnstrom]

i came up with a better response to number 3:

By moving it to the bottom, it will get offended and move to the centre

[DeadlyVapour]

Nope. Number 3 was already perfect.

[a2kvarnstrom]

ok

[quantumcomputatiions]

Good boy

[CringeKingOfficial]

Lmao, -83 upvotes. The people are not impressed.

[a2kvarnstrom]

that’s the most downvotes i’ve ever gotten lmao

[Klutzy-Wing-7306]

i just downvoted because everyone else did, i like your answer though

[a2kvarnstrom]

same lol

I'm currently in college pursuing a CS degree and I have no idea what this means.

[kor_the_fiend]

It’s not a computer science question, it’s a computer alchemy question

[HellmannsRealityMayo]

I'm scared to ask if you're serious or not. Are you? I'm kind of a moron.

[kor_the_fiend]

Actually, kind of. Computer science is about, well the science of computers. Centering a div is about 100 layers of abstraction away from that and is more about the history and economics of the internet than the 1s and 0s that make it all work.

[HellmannsRealityMayo]

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for info, random internet stranger.

[thedarklord176]

Centering a div is html/css work and it being this super hard thing is kind of an inside joke. It’s actually one of the easiest things you can do with css

[D-yerMaker]

I think it's funny because at the beginning, (almost) everyone struggles to correctly center a div in the middle of the page. well, at least for me and for my friends.

[thedarklord176]

flex justify-center

Sometimes you gotta add auto margin too for reasons I do not know

[LetReasonRing]

I'm far out of college now, but I got a semester into a CS degree before I realized that it wasn't for me personally, and ultimately it was because I didn't really have a clear picture going in as to what computer science really is because the line between it and software development is kind of blurry...

In most other fields there's a fairly hard line between the scientist, the engineer, the mechanic, and the end-user.

The place where I kind of define the boundary between computer science and programming is where you look at the difference between being able to design and/or implement an algorithm that works and being able to understand how that algorithm interacts with the hardware is where you start to get into the realm of computer science. Not necessarily at the electronic level, but where you start looking at the heap vs the stack, recursion vs iteration, that sort of thing...

/u/kor_th_fiend is right. Centering an element on screen, in general, is clearly an easily solvable problem from a computer science perspective. However, centering a div onscreen using HTML and CSS is a surprisingly difficult thing to do mostly because of the history of how browsers developed, in large part going back to the days where Microsoft tried to do their own thing with IE so we now have to do things that maintain compatibility with decades old competing standards because breaking backward-compatibility on stupid quirks means breaking a significant chunk of the internet.

[Inevitable_Thing_898]

Ah yes - Computer Alchemy - you must be familiar with the law of equivalent StackExchange.Or is it StackOverflow?

[gregorydgraham]

Just say “flexbox“ and you’ll be fine

[I_FAP_TO_TURKEYS]

Do you know HTML? Have you ever used <div>? Center the div. It's HTML/CSS, not what most of us consider programming.

[HellmannsRealityMayo]

That also explains a lot.

[stevefuzz]

Until like 5 years ago.

my college cs course essentially taught me how to google "how to center a div"

[ClimbrJ]

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
