  2. Eventual consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency

    Eventual consistency is a weak guarantee – most stronger models, like linearizability, are trivially eventually consistent. Eventually-consistent services are often classified as providing BASE semantics (basically-available, soft-state, eventual consistency), in contrast to traditional ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) .

  3. Gambler's fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

    An example of the gambler's fallacy occurred in a game of roulette at the Monte Carlo Casino on August 18, 1913, when the ball fell in black 26 times in a row. This was an extremely unlikely occurrence: the probability of a sequence of either red or black occurring 26 times in a row is ( ⁠ 18 / 37 ⁠ ) 26-1 or around 1 in 66.6 million ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_write_a...

    A summary is not meant to reproduce the experience of reading or watching the work. In fact, readers might be here because they didn't understand the original. Just repeating what they have already seen or read is unlikely to help them. Do not attempt to re-create the emotional impact of the work through the plot summary.

  5. Consistency model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistency_model

    The processor consistency model (PC) is the most relaxed of the three models and relaxes both the constraints such that a read can complete before an earlier write even before it is made visible to other processors. In Example A, the result is possible only in IBM 370 because read(A) is not issued until the write(A) in that processor is completed.

  6. Safety and liveness properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_and_liveness_properties

    Guaranteed eventual entry to a critical section whenever entry is attempted; Fair access to a resource in the presence of contention. The good thing in the first example is discrete but not in the others. Producing an answer within a specified real-time bound is a safety property rather than a liveness property.

  7. Reliability (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_(statistics)

    Also, reliability is a property of the scores of a measure rather than the measure itself and are thus said to be sample dependent. Reliability estimates from one sample might differ from those of a second sample (beyond what might be expected due to sampling variations) if the second sample is drawn from a different population because the true ...

  8. Everything's Eventual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything's_Eventual

    The unabridged digital audiobook edition includes all fourteen stories, but the physical book-on-cd versions of the stories are spread out over several products. "L.T.'s Theory of Pets" is the only story not included in any of the book-on-cd collections, but rather as a standalone product.

  9. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Strong versus eventual consistency (storage) [ edit ] In the context of scale-out data storage , scalability is defined as the maximum storage cluster size which guarantees full data consistency, meaning there is only ever one valid version of stored data in the whole cluster, independently from the number of redundant physical data copies.
