message: Only recursive queries are mentioned, although there's not enough detail to distinguish between iterative vs recursive I guess. This section needs to be expanded.

replies: text: I agree this should be overhauled. The section Name_server#Recursive query doesn't do a great job in explaining the differences between iterative and recursive queries. This is actually more relevant from a clients perspective. But this section mostly talks about servers. Also when a server is walking the DNS tree like, it generally *iteratively* queries other name servers, so this seems wrong: "it may recursively query name servers higher up in the hierarchy.".

Talk:Brazil

message: Various Medieval and Renaissance writers wrote of a (Christian) land of wonders and plenty, called Hy Brasil (modulo haphazard spellings).  For example, stories about Marco Polo (not necessarily by him) related to his travels meeting a saintly ruler of that land.  I don't know if those were influenced by the land whose name roughly approximates the second word of that, or whether European naming of that land was influenced by those myths.  But surely some relating of that mythologic pre-history to the reality of the actual land now bearing the name would be worth mentioning. -- Eddy 84.212.132.95 (talk) 23:39, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Differential cryptanalysis

message: "It was noted by Bamford in The Puzzle Palace that DES is surprisingly resilient to differential cryptanalysis, in the sense that even small modifications to the algorithm would make it much more susceptible; this suggested that the designers at IBM knew of this in the 1970s."
According to Webster's Dictionary online, the definintion of resilient is: tending to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. No offense, but isn't this statement contradictory? Verbalosity (talk) 21:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh please, resilient is common in the parlance of cryptography yet is also still meaningful to laymen, despite the letter of how Webster's Dictionary defines it. That has very little to do with the actual meaning of the word "resilient" and a lot to do with the limited scope of definitions available in Webster's Dictionary. The intended meaning in this usage is the antonym of "vulnerable" or "susceptible to" and I think "resilient" is a perfectly good antonym for either of those terms Tarcieri (talk) 07:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Either Webster's failed to capture all possible meanings of 'resilient', or we'll have to find a word that means more than resilient, but less than immune. Can you think of one? (Damn, I came here to think about the maths, not the English!)--217.232.196.208 (talk) 14:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Parser

message: ----
Original entry on main page "wikified" a bit.
A parser is a program or subprogram that analyzes the grammatical structure of an input stream of tokens, with respect to a given grammar (typically for a programming language) and determines if a correct translation if possible.
----
Some discussion that may help flesh out the article a bit.
This is paraphrase from the "dragon book" by an inexperienced programmer so it should not be added to entry except by a confident software knowledgeable person.
Using the rules provided by the language specification or grammar the program statements are broken down into smallest  meaningful elements or tokens.   It is useful to conceptualize a binary parse tree when discussing the design  and operation of parser.  Various means of traversing this tree (moving systematically through processing all nodes) are used in various types of parser.
Methods of parsing
Top-Down Parsing
many others here
Basically, a parser is a translater from one language to another based upon completely specified grammers.
A definative text in the field of software languages is The Dragon Book, so named for the picture of a dragon peering through a computer monitor at a knight with various shields,  armour, and sword labeled with key elements necessary for mastery of the subject.

From Semantic action routine:
:Semantic action routines are simple functions invoked by the parser, which add context sensitive informations (e.g. type of a variable...) to the result of the Syntaxanalysis, done by the parser. They also build the intermediate representation of the source code or even the goal language.

replies: text: Very little information about Heald Square; and I've never seen a plaque. The Chicago Tribune from Dec 22, 1939 has an article on the addition of the fourth star to the flag of Chicago (which interestingly states that the star represents the battle rather than the fort itself as stated in the WP article on the flag), in the article they mention that the Fort Dearborn Memorial Commission who had campaigned for the fourth star were also trying to get Michigan Avenue bridge renamed as the 'Fort Dearborn Memorial Bridge', the square at the south side of the Wabash Avenue bridge named after Nathan Heald, and a proposed square at the north end of the bridge named after George Ronan (who took part in the battle). I can't find when the square was actually dedicated, but an article in 1957 talks about plans to move Wacker Drive away from the river bank that would mean that Heald Square would be on the north side of the drive rather than on its south side, so presumably it had been dedicated by that date (perhaps the square was dedicated at the same time as the sculpture in 1941).—Jeremy (talk) 15:09, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
