Understanding Deadlock: When Computers Play Musical Chairs

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, computerscience, cschallenge, devchallenge, development, engineering, inclusive, software

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer. Explainer Deadlock is like musical chairs for processes: each process waits indefinitely for resources held by others, and no one can proceed. It occurs in concurrent systems, where resources are limited and processes compete for them. Additional Context Deadlock prevention and resolution are critical in operating systems and database management. Techniques like resource ordering and deadlock detection algorithms help maintain system efficiency and prevent system halts. Source link lol

What is a stack?

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, computerscience, cschallenge, devchallenge, development, engineering, inclusive, software

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer. Explainer Just like when you have crate of eggs or drinks placed one on top the other, you can't remove the one at the bottom else, you tend to scatter the whole arrangement. So you start with the one at the top (the last added crate) and then go all the way down. Source link lol

One Byte Explainer: What is a quine?

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, computerscience, cschallenge, devchallenge, development, engineering, inclusive, software

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer. Explainer The answer is "The answer is".Also called a self-replicating program, a quine is a computer program that outputs its own source code. The sentence above tries to mimic one. Its practicality can be arguable, but it's an amusing metaprogramming concept. Additional Context Here is an example in JavaScript, adapted from Dylan Beattie's beautiful talk The Art of Code: (f = () => console.log(`(f = ${f})()`))() Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode When you run it, the output is: (f = () => console.log(`(f = ${f})()`))() Enter…

Navigating Uncertainty: Probabilistic Programming

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, computerscience, cschallenge, devchallenge, development, engineering, inclusive, software

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer. Explainer The world is uncertain. Predicting outcomes with data involves probabilistic models which use math to handle uncertainty. Probabilistic Programming describe and analyze these models. Examples: Predicting weather, stocks, diagnoses, and machine learning. Cover Image Credits: GenewalDesign Source link lol
