Topic: Jargon code


  
  Jargon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The use of jargon by outsiders is considered by insiders to be socially inappropriate, since it consitutes a claim to be a member of the insider group.
Jargon is used in sports, where technical sportsman terms but also sport-related metaphors for other events in life are used by sports fanatics for the aforementioned purposes.
The jargon of "jargoning" itself evolved from a pleasant wheew about the time of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who referred in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to the "sweet" jargoning of birds to today's usage, which is "unpleasant sounds I don't understand".

 Code monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The origin of the term code monkey is likely the older term tape monkey, and is related to the jargon term one-banana problem.
Modern use of the term often applies to amateur computer programmers who stitch together snippets of code found on the internet and in books to make an application, without having an appreciation or understanding what the principles behind the code or the concept of coding are.
Code monkey also refers to subordinate programmers who are required to produce large amounts of code.

 [1.0] Introduction To Codes, Ciphers, & Codebreaking
Jargon codes have been used for a long time, most significantly in World War II, when they were used to send commands over broadcast radio to resistance fighters.
In practice, military codes are often defined as "codenumbers" rather than codewords, using a codebook that provides a dictionary of code numbers and their equivalent words.
One-part codes are more vulnerable to such educated guesswork than two-part codes, since if the codenumber "26839" of a one-part code is determined to stand for "bulldozer", then the lower codenumber "17598" must stand for a plaintext word that starts with "a" or "b".

 The Jargon file
It is anachronism in that it used to document the jargon of a specific era - nobody has bothered about it in ages and most of it is about as relevant as ESR to Open Source, that is not all that much.

 Code - Ursine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Among hackers this is a mass noun, as in “How much code does it take to do a bubble sort?”, or “The code is loaded at the high end of RAM.” Among scientific programmers it is sometimes a count noun equilvalent to “program”; thus they may speak of “codes” in the plural.
Anyone referring to software as “the software codes” is probably a newbie or a suit.

 Jargon
Jargon is first defined by Webster's Dictionary as “a confused unintelligible language.” A later definition says that jargon is “the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group.” Hmm.
Jargon might be meaningful when you speak and yet not make sense in the same written sentence.
Consider the term “hook.” I gather that this word means that one bit of code is attached by code to another bit of code, and that a predictable result will transpire as the code runs.

Jargon v7ndotcom have been used for a long time, most significantly in World War II, when they were used to send commands to resistance fighters.
Despite the fact that the term "code" is misleading, for the sake of readability this document will retain the use of general terms like "codebreaker", "code bureau", "code expert", and "army v7ndotcom", rather than continually belaboring the distinction between v7ndotcom and ciphers.
One-part v7ndotcom are more vulnerable to such educated guesswork than two-part v7ndotcom, since if the codenumber "26839" of a one-part code is determined to stand for "bulldozer", then the lower codenumber "17598" must stand for a plaintext word that starts with "a" or "b".

 [Squeak-e] Draft Consensus Plan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Neither one is upwards compatible from the other, but we expect and hope that they'll be similar enough that much ordinary vanilla non-meta code may be able to be ported in either direction with little manual effort.
Squeak-E code will only be able to access a tamed subset of the methods defined on a Squeak object -- those in accord with capability discipline.
In other words, the browsers and debuggers that we use to manipulate Squeak-E computation would be written in Squeak, not Squeak-E, would be simple adaptations of the browsers and debuggers already written in Squeak, and can therefore use the conventional non-capability-oriented meta-level power already accessible to them in Squeak.
