  2. /dev/random - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev/random

    The /dev/urandom device typically was never a blocking device, even if the pseudorandom number generator seed was not fully initialized with entropy since boot. Not all operating systems implement the same methods for /dev/random and /dev/urandom. This special file originated in Linux in 1994. It was quickly adopted by other Unix-like operating ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc

    Yacc (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson.It is a lookahead left-to-right rightmost derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur form (BNF).

  5. Lehmer random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The generator computes an odd 128-bit value and returns its upper 64 bits. This generator passes BigCrush from TestU01, but fails the TMFn test from PractRand. That test has been designed to catch exactly the defect of this type of generator: since the modulus is a power of 2, the period of the lowest bit in the output is only 2 62, rather than ...

  6. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engram_(Dianetics)

    An engram, as used in Dianetics and Scientology, is a detailed mental image or memory of a traumatic event from the past that occurred when an individual was partially or fully unconscious. It is considered to be pseudoscientific [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and is different from the meaning of "engram" in cognitive psychology . [ 3 ]

    Engram may refer to: Engram (neuropsychology), a physical means by which memory traces are stored; Engram (Dianetics), a term used in Scientology and Dianetics for a "recording" of a past painful event not normally accessible to the conscious mind; Engram, a 2009 album by black metal band Beherit; Engram, a 2014 short film

  9. Cuneiform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform

    The script was widely used on commemorative stelae and carved reliefs to record the achievements of the ruler in whose honor the monument had been erected. The spoken language included many homophones and near-homophones, and in the beginning, similar-sounding words such as "life" [til] and "arrow" [ti] were written with the same symbol (ð’‹¾).
