  2. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    However, the proof is not constructive, and hence gives no insight of how to build a capacity achieving code. After years of research, some advanced FEC systems like polar code [3] come very close to the theoretical maximum given by the Shannon channel capacity under the hypothesis of an infinite length frame.

  3. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_programming)

    The term closure is often used as a synonym for anonymous function, though strictly, an anonymous function is a function literal without a name, while a closure is an instance of a function, a value, whose non-local variables have been bound either to values or to storage locations (depending on the language; see the lexical environment section below).

    As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not [note 1] send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions. 100 Continue The server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body (in the case of a request for which a body needs to be ...

    In Java, any method can call System.exit(int status), unless a security manager does not permit it.This will terminate the currently running Java Virtual Machine. "The argument serves as a status code; by convention, a nonzero status code indicates abnormal termination."

    Questions of a broader nature—or those inviting answers that are inherently a matter of opinion—are usually rejected by the site's users, and marked as closed. The sister site softwareengineering.stackexchange.com is intended to be a venue for broader queries, e.g. general questions about software development .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

    If you've had some cold weather recently, today's look back at history should make you shiver a little less. From Feb. 2-4, 1996, 29 years ago, a frigid arctic outbreak gripped the upper Midwest.

  9. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error

    Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.
