Terminology used for language and culture-aware software

强颜欢笑 提交于 2019-12-30 08:23:23
问题 I have always thought that the terms "internationalization" and "localization" (and their funny abbreviations i18n and l10n) were universally accepted and used for talking about software which is aware of language and cultural differences. But I recently read a question on SO about these subjects which referred to something called "globalization" and was also tagged as such. Because I haven't heard this term before I wanted to know if is actually used by others and how it compares to the

问题 Yeah, I'm struggling with that. I cannot distinguish among them because every explanation I read is so unclear and philosophical enough. Can someone clear up these definitions for me ? Thanks guys. These definitions apply as much to procedural-programming as oop ? Thanks. 回答1: Function is a combination of instructions coupled together to achieve some result. It may take arguments and return result. If a function doesn't return a result it is usually called a procedure. Examples: function

问题 I often see these terms: Windows CE Windows Mobile Pocket PC Windows Mobile Smart Phone I know the difference between the second 2, but I am confused on the first. I thought it was the name of the Mobile OS prior to Windows Mobile 5. But I am seeing it more often in current products. (Here is a current MS Form for developing on it. Here is a current product for creating them.) What is it and how does it relate to the Windows Mobile lines? 回答1: Windows CE is a modular OS. It is built with a

问题 I've read\heard many times about java containers such as a servlet container, however, I can't seem to find a good definition of what a container is in the enterprise java world. Does anyone know of a good definition of an enterprise java container? 回答1: Referring more generally to the Container pattern (of which an enterprise Java container could be considered a specialization), the book Server Component Patterns by M.Volter, et al. offers the following: [A CONTAINER provides] an execution

What is the at sign (@) in a batch file and what does it do?

流过昼夜 提交于 2019-12-28 08:03:28
问题 One remotely familiar with windows/dos batch scripting will recognize this line: @echo off For many-many days, I was happy with the sentiment that the @ is how echo off is meant to be written at the top of the batch and that's it. However, recently I've came accross a line like this: @php foo bar and another line like this: @call \\network\folder\batch.bat This reinforced my suspicion that @ has more to it than just echo mode switching. However @ is not listed in the Windows XP: Command-line

问题 Closed . This question needs to be more focused. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post. Closed 5 years ago . Is there a difference between HTML5 and jQuery, or is jQuery an instrument I can use in the HTML5 logic ? I am a little confused by the terminology I guess and I hope someone can enlighten me. 回答1: HTML5 is a markup language. jQuery is a Javascript library. They're not the same

“system objects” vs. “server objects” in SQL Server - terms definitions?

…衆ロ難τιáo~ 提交于 2019-12-25 07:53:58
问题 What are the definitions of "system object" and of "server object" in SQL Server? Is Server object also system one? And vice versa? And what are the differences between "system" and "server' objects in SQL Server? What's distinguishing them? Update: There is a node in Object Explorer of SSMS for Server Objects (I have now only 2008 R2). SSMS menu Options --> Environment --> General --> "Hide system objects in Object Explorer" checkbox Hide system databases but not Server objects. One can

dynamic binding and dynamic linking

荒凉一梦 提交于 2019-12-25 03:24:24
问题 Quoted from Dynamic Binding C++, dynamic binding is orthogonal to dynamic linking... I was wondering how to understand the meaning of orthogonal"? Is it because compilation of source code into machine code is like going deep, and linkage of various machine codes is like going horizontal, and so they are orthogonal to each other, (static/dynamic) name binding is a concept in compilation static/dynamic linking is a concept in linkage? if in dynamic linking, any involved binding, i.e., any

What is the name of feature that allows separate function implementations for different values of parameters?

生来就可爱ヽ(ⅴ<●) 提交于 2019-12-24 10:10:08
问题 In some programming languages one can specify the function implementation for particular values of arguments: factorial[x] = x * factorial[x-1] factorial[0] = 1 Calling the function with 0 will use the second definition while calling it with 3 will use the first definition. I am aware that this is a kind of function overloading, but if I would search for languages with function overloading, I will find a lot that don't have this feature but only overload depending on arity or types. Is there
