"I'm writing a recursive method with threads to optimize the CPU usage in a 0.02%"
I understand everything apart from the "in a 0.02%". What does that mean? How can something be in a percentage?
It's a nonsensical statement to us programmers too.
I think they meant « by ».
It's a double joke. For programmers, it's pretty useless unless your in high performance computing.
If you're on the nitty gritty OS or CPU itself, 0.02% optimization can mean significant improvememt of different things but because it is otherwise unitless, it is equally useless to the reader.
“In a .02%” is nonsensical. They meant “by”. So it’s just a fail, not a joke.
Can someone explain this joke to me
