Client server is a kind of application architecture which partitions the work between the providers of a resource, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. Here Clients send the request to the server and the service fetch the results and send the response to the client. Where as ...

A key part to working in a programming team is collaboration. Sometimes this collaboration takes place in commit messages or email - but sometimes it needs to happen via talking - it it can take a long time to describe something in text while talking the problem out allows for much more dense co...

I purchased "Reputation to the Max" and increased my reputation by 10x. And like a good SE citizen, I immediately went to the review queues to do my part (for the day). However, the review queues indicate that I don't have enough precious repz in order to perform any of the much needed review...

I absolutely LOVED the new Stack-Exchange-specific cryptocoin, "Unicoin", mineable by humans and unicorn-themed. As well as the diverse options to pay for it (gold, silver, BTC, LTC, DOGE, reputation on this site and Reddit, bacon, among others) and the incredibly useful, succint and accurate le...

We've grown considerably as a network since the days of the original trilogy, when the prospect of growing into a network of over 100 thriving Q&A sites was a distant glimmer in a cloudy night sky.

Coming from C++ to Java, the obvious unanswered question is why didn't Java include operator overloading? Isn't Complex a, b, c; a = b + c; much simpler than Complex a, b, c; a=b.add(c);? Is there a known reason for this, valid arguments for not allowing operator overloading? Is the reason arbi...

I noticed that some adverts (seemingly those on question pages) pass along a parameter indicating that I have a rep of greater than 1500. My questions are twofold: Is this a simple boolean, or are there other rep brackets? Are any advertisers using this? Perhaps for special offers etc? I'm o...

With "reputation to the max" I now have 6,621,210 reputation. Unfortunately, this only shows as 6.6m: Other reputation levels are shown with three or more significant digits - e.g. 508k as Darin's rep shows above, or xx.xk for values in the [10k, 100k), or the exact value for under 10k. Why t...

See the red banner. (emphasis mine) The value must be a positive integer between 1 and 10 It doesn't however specify that the number be real, so I would fully expect complex numbers to be supported. This should allow you to make your Imaginary Internet Points actually have an imaginary nu...
