  2. Relative and absolute tense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_and_absolute_tense

    Comrie's strict relative tense expresses time relative to the reference point provided by the context, without indicating where that reference point lies relative to the present time. [2] A verb form commonly offered as an example of such a relative tense is the imperfect of Classical Arabic. This indicates an ongoing state of affairs at the ...

  3. Working directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_directory

    When a process refers to a file using a path that does not begin with a / (forward slash), the path is interpreted as relative to the process's working directory. So for example a process with working directory /rabbit-shoes that asks to create the file foo.txt will end up creating the file /rabbit-shoes/foo.txt .

  4. Hard coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding

    One important case of hard coding is when strings are placed directly into the file, which forces translators to edit the source code to translate a program. (There is a tool called gettext that permits strings to be left in files, but lets translators translate them without changing the source code; it effectively de-hard codes the strings.)

  5. Scripting language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

    In computing, a script is a relatively short and simple set of instructions that typically automate an otherwise manual process. The act of writing a script is called scripting. A scripting language or script language is a programming language that is used for scripting. [1]

  6. Absolute space and time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_space_and_time

    These notions imply that absolute space and time do not depend upon physical events, but are a backdrop or stage setting within which physical phenomena occur. Thus, every object has an absolute state of motion relative to absolute space, so that an object must be either in a state of absolute rest, or moving at some absolute speed. [5]

  7. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Unix time [a] is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time by the number of non-leap seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, the Unix epoch. For example, at midnight on 1 January 2010, Unix time was 1262304000. Unix time originated as the system time of Unix operating systems.

  8. Environment variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

    This pseudo-variable returns the hours of the current time in 12-hour format without leading zeros, f.e. "1".."12". It resembles an identically named identifier variable in Novell NetWare login scripts. %HOUR24% This pseudo-variable returns the hours of the current time in 24-hour format in a 2-digit format with leading zeros, f.e. "00".."23".

  9. Coding best practices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_best_practices

    Program code should not contain "hard-coded" (literal) values referring to environmental parameters, such as absolute file paths, file names, user names, host names, IP addresses, and URLs, UDP/TCP ports. Otherwise, the application will not run on a host that has a different design than anticipated.
