11-letter words that end in ng

  • prototyping — The creation of a model and the simulation of all aspects of a product. CASE tools support different degrees of prototyping. Some offer the end-user the ability to review all aspects of the user interface and the structure of documentation and reports before code is generated.
  • quadrupling — Present participle of quadruple.
  • quantifying — to determine, indicate, or express the quantity of.
  • quarrelling — an angry dispute or altercation; a disagreement marked by a temporary or permanent break in friendly relations.
  • questioning — indicating or implying a question: a questioning tone in her voice.
  • quintupling — Present participle of quintuple.
  • racewalking — the activity of racing by walking fast rather than running
  • racializing — Present participle of racialize.
  • rag-rolling — a decorating technique in which paint is applied with a roughly folded cloth in order to create a marbled effect
  • railroading — a permanent road laid with rails, commonly in one or more pairs of continuous lines forming a track or tracks, on which locomotives and cars are run for the transportation of passengers, freight, and mail.
  • rap jumping — the sport of descending high buildings, attached to ropes and a pulley
  • rasterising — (algorithm)   A transformation that can be applied to an image to prepare it for printing. Rasterising reduces resolution by a factor of typically four to eight. It also reduces sensitivity to paper properties. Rasterising can be combined with dithering.
  • rasterizing — rasterising
  • rat-running — the practice of driving through residential side streets to avoid congested main roads
  • ray casting — (graphics)   A simplified form of ray tracing. A ray is fired from each pixel in the view plane, and information is accumulated from all the voxels in the volume data it intersects. Each voxel is first given an associated colour and opacity. The ray is sampled at a fixed number of evenly spaced locations and the colour and opacity are trilinearly interpolated from the eight nearest voxels. These are then composed linearly back to front to give a single colour for the pixel. Ray casting was invented by John Carmack for the game Wolfenstein 3D. It is faster and lower quality than ray tracing, and is ideal for interactive applications. It parallelises well, although random access is needed to the voxels.
  • ray tracing — (graphics)   A technique used in computer graphics to create realistic images by calculating the paths taken by rays of light entering the observer's eye at different angles. The paths are traced backward from the viewpoint, through a point (a pixel) in the image plane until they hit some object in the scene or go off to infinity. Objects are modelled as collections of abutting surfaces which may be rectangles, triangles, or more complicated shapes such as 3D splines. The optical properties of different surfaces (colour, reflectance, transmitance, refraction, texture) also affect how it will contribute to the colour and brightness of the ray. The position, colour, and brightness of light sources, including ambient lighting, is also taken into account. Ray tracing is an ideal application for parallel processing since there are many pixels, each of whose values is independent and can thus be calculated in parallel. Compare: radiosity.
  • re-shipping — to ship again.
  • re-skinning — to replace or repair the exterior surface or coating of: The space shuttle had to be reskinned before returning to service.
  • reawakening — rousing; quickening: an awakening interest in ballet.
  • recarpeting — a heavy fabric, commonly of wool or nylon, for covering floors.
  • recognizing — to identify as something or someone previously seen, known, etc.: He had changed so much that one could scarcely recognize him.
  • red herring — a smoked herring.
  • redshirting — a high-school or college athlete kept out of varsity competition for one year to develop skills and extend eligibility. a child held back from starting kindergarten for one year, the practice of which is believed by some parents to give the child academic, athletic, and social advantages.
  • refactoring — (object-oriented, programming)   Improving a computer program by reorganising its internal structure without altering its external behaviour. When software developers add new features to a program, the code degrades because the original program was not designed with the extra features in mind. This problem could be solved by either rewriting the existing code or working around the problems which arise when adding the new features. Redesigning a program is extra work, but not doing so would create a program which is more complicated than it needs to be. Refactoring is a collection of techniques which have been designed to provide an alternative to the two situations mentioned above. The techniques enable programmers to restructure code so that the design of a program is clearer. It also allows programmers to extract reusable components, streamline a program, and make additions to the program easier to implement. Refactoring is usually done by renaming methods, moving fields from one class to another, and moving code into a separate method. Although it is done using small and simple steps, refactoring a program will vastly improve its design and structure, making it easier to maintain and leading to more robust code.
  • referencing — an act or instance of referring.
  • refinancing — to finance again.
  • reflowering — an occurrence of flowering again
  • refuctoring — (humour, programming)   Taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself. The term is a humourous play on the term refactoring and was coined by Jason Gorman in a pub in 2002. Refuctoring techniques include: Using Pig Latin as a naming convention. Stating The Bleeding Obvious - writing comments that paraphrase the code (e.g., "declare an integer called I with an initial value of zero"). Module Gravity Well - adding all new code to the biggest module. Unique Modeling Language - inventing your own visual notation. Treasure Hunt - Writing code consisting mostly of references to other code and documents that reference other documents. Rainy Day Module - writing spare code just in case somebody needs it later.

  • right thing — That which is *compellingly* the correct or appropriate thing to use, do, say, etc. Always capitalised, always emphasised in speech as though capitalised. Use of this term often implies that in fact reasonable people may disagree. "What's the Right Thing for Lisp to do when it sees "(mod a 0)"? Should it return "a", or give a divide-by-0 error?" Opposite: Wrong Thing.
