Talk:Method stub

message: I'm not sure if the second definition (stub = hack) is correct.
I thought that a hack should actually work but a stub doesn't.
----
I agree that the second definition (contributed by the otherwise anonymous user who identified himself/herself as "MJ") seems wrong/off.  I think this second usage is slippery and even slangy.  A stub is more very specifically a temporary or stop-gap routine (or at least a skeleton of one--it could just return fixed output, for instance) deliberately used in development/testing whereas a hack is more likely to arise from necessity than convenience.  (Hacks, kludges and workarounds all kind of have overlapping meaning/usage.)  And a hack can take any form—whereas a stub kind of tends to imply a single routine / entry point.
Besides, since the entry is headed "Method stub" we should stick with the C.S. definition rather than sloppy, slangy interpretations.<BR>

message: IMO this article should have a more general name. A method stub is basically the same as a function stub and a procedure stub and so on. The core idea is: stub of a thing-that-is-callable. Sadly, there is no good term for thing-that-is-callable. I think callable is a good term, but since no one but me uses it, doesn't seems suitable for WP. It does seem that WP has chosen function as the one term to refer to the locus of this concept. Some possible names: Function stub, Stub (function), Stub (source code), Stub (callable) Stevebroshar (talk) 13:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Transient recovery voltage

message: The transient recovery voltage is related to the voltage surge that is created in Power systems when there is sudden loss of power. It could be because of power line getting grounded due to tree twig or something like that...these power surges are sensed by Relays and C.B's trip off and then reclosure of relays occur after a small period of time...this causes the line to be healthy once again. such losses occuring are transient losses and voltage built up due to such faults are called transient recovery voltage
