- 15:34, 19 February 2024 Idiosyncracy (hist | edit) [523 bytes] Helpful (talk | contribs) (Created page with "<!-- Idiosyncratic perhaps most widely means unusual and/or distinctive habits. When about a person, people, idiosyncracies are the peculiar habits or features of that person, eccentric or not. In linguistics, idiosyncratic symbols can refer words that have meanings specific to specific people. When you say "collocations are statistically idiosyncratic sequences of words", you say that you would not expect them to occur together that much, and they probably ha...")

In some ways, it is the lexical part of philology. In other ways it is closely related to etymology, phraseology, and semantics. '''Lexicography''' can be said to be the applied part of lexicology, as it studies the use of words. 'Lexicography' is also and is often used to refer to the compilation of a lexicon. Note that lexicogr...")

Calling them will always take. (exactly how explicitly it is in the ''definition'' of this function may vary with the language) They will accept one, and do so implicitly somehow - some languages make you write out the object reference ('self' or 'this' turns up around here), others have it implied. That is not the only...") originally created as "Static method"

It will choose to halt the system. Depending on configuration, it may or may not reboot. Technically this is distinct from the kernel itself crashing ''without'' noticing. there is probably a history to why the unix-side of things chose this name, presumably because it wasn't a...")

In mathematics, with contonuous functions, this might involve some symbolic analysis and manipulation, In computation, with discrete values, it may just amount to "go through array and remember the largest value you saw" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arg_max")
- 15:09, 8 February 2024 Flow control (hist | edit) [1,047 bytes] Helpful (talk | contribs) (Created page with "<!-- Flow control is the idea is that the receiving side can pause the sending side. Perhaps the easier to understand form is '''hardware flow control''', because these are often dedicated things separated from the transfer (out of band). For example, in a parallel ports, e.g. a printer can assert the busy pin, and the sending side will choose to pause sending until that clears. In in serial ports there is a similar construction: the sender sets RTS to signal th...")
