9-letter words that end in ode
- a la mode — A dessert à la mode is served with ice cream.
- area code — The area code for a particular city or region is the series of numbers that you have to dial before someone's personal number if you are making a telephone call to that place from a different area.
- byte-code — (file format, software) A binary file containing an executable program, consisting of a sequence of (op code, data) pairs. Byte-code op codes are most often fixed size bit patterns, but can be variable size. The data portion consists of zero or more bits whose format typically depends on the op code. A byte-code program is interpreted by a byte-code interpreter. The advantage of this technique compared with outputing machine code for some particular processor is that the same byte-code can be executed on any processor on which the byte-code interpreter runs. The byte-code may be compiled to machine code ("native code") for speed of execution but this usually requires significantly greater effort for each new taraget architecture than simply porting the interpreter. For example, Java is compiled to byte-code which runs on the Java Virtual Machine.
- city code — (in Britain) short for City Code on Takeovers and Mergers: a code laid down in 1968 (later modified) to control takeover bids and mergers
- comm mode — (chat) (Or "com mode") An ITS feature supporting interactive on-line chat.
- dead code — (programming) (Or "infeasible path", "grunge") Any part of a program that can never be accessed because all calls to it have been removed, or because it is guarded by a control structure that provably must always transfer control somewhere else. The presence of dead code may reveal either logical errors due to alterations in the program or significant changes in the assumptions and environment of the program (see also software rot); a good compiler should report dead code so a maintainer can think about what it means. Sometimes it simply means that an *extremely* defensive programmer has inserted can't happen tests which really can't happen - yet. Synonym grunge.
- demo mode — (Sun) 1. The state of being heads down in order to finish code in time for a demo, usually due yesterday. 2. (games) (Or "attract mode") A mode in which video games sit by themselves running through a portion of the game. Some serious apps have a demo mode they use as a screen saver, or may go through a demo mode on startup (for example, the Microsoft Windows opening screen - which lets you impress your neighbors without actually having to put up with Microsloth Windows).
- eigenmode — a normal mode in an oscillating system, being one in which all parts of the system are oscillating with the same frequency
- electrode — A conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.
- gray code — (hardware) A binary sequence with the property that only one bit changes between any two consecutive elements (the two codes have a Hamming distance of one). The Gray code originated when digital logic circuits were built from vacuum tubes and electromechanical relays. Counters generated tremendous power demands and noise spikes when many bits changed at once. E.g. when incrementing a register containing 11111111, the back-EMF from the relays' collapsing magnetic fields required copious noise suppression. Using Gray code counters, any increment or decrement changed only one bit, regardless of the size of the number. Gray code can also be used to convert the angular position of a disk to digital form. A radial line of sensors reads the code off the surface of the disk and if the disk is half-way between two positions each sensor might read its bit from both positions at once but since only one bit differs between the two, the value read is guaranteed to be one of the two valid values rather than some third (invalid) combination (a glitch). One possible algorithm for generating a Gray code sequence is to toggle the lowest numbered bit that results in a new code each time. Here is a four bit Gray code sequence generated in this way: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 The codes were patented in 1953 by Frank Gray, a Bell Labs researcher.
- hack mode — (jargon) Engaged in hacking. A Zen-like state of total focus on The Problem that may be achieved when one is hacking (this is why every good hacker is part mystic). Ability to enter such concentration at will correlates strongly with wizardliness; it is one of the most important skills learned during larval stage. Sometimes amplified as "deep hack mode". Being yanked out of hack mode (see priority interrupt) may be experienced as a physical shock, and the sensation of being in hack mode is more than a little habituating. The intensity of this experience is probably by itself sufficient explanation for the existence of hackers, and explains why many resist being promoted out of positions where they can code. See also cyberspace. Some aspects of hackish etiquette will appear quite odd to an observer unaware of the high value placed on hack mode. For example, if someone appears at your door, it is perfectly okay to hold up a hand (without turning one's eyes away from the screen) to avoid being interrupted. One may read, type, and interact with the computer for quite some time before further acknowledging the other's presence (of course, he or she is reciprocally free to leave without a word). The understanding is that you might be in hack mode with a lot of delicate state in your head, and you dare not swap that context out until you have reached a good point to pause. See also juggling eggs.
- hydathode — a specialized leaf structure through which water is exuded.
- iconicode — 1990-1992. Visual dataflow language, token-based with hierarchical, recursive and iterative constructs. Version: IDF with extensions for image processing.
- incommode — to inconvenience or discomfort; disturb; trouble.
- internode — a part or space between two nodes, knots, or joints, as the portion of a plant stem between two nodes.
- kozhikode — a city in W Kerala, in SW India.
- macrocode — a single code that contains a set of instructions.
- melampode — the black hellebore, Helleborus niger
- microcode — one or more microinstructions.
- mimencode — (Originally distributed as "mmencode"). A replacement for uuencode for use in electronic mail and news. Part of MIME. uuencode uses characters that don"t translate well across all mail gateways (particularly those which convert between ASCII and EBCDIC). Also, different variants of uuencode encode data in different and incompatible ways, with no standard. Finally, few uuencode variants work well in a pipe. Mimencode implements the encodings which were defined for MIME as uuencode replacements, and should be considerably more robust for e-mail use. Written by Nathaniel S. Borenstein of Bell Communications Research, Inc. (Bellcore) in 1991.
- multimode — Having, or employing multiple modes.
- page mode — 1. (hardware, storage) See page mode DRAM. 2. (hardware) An operation mode of video terminals like the IBM 3270, in which the terminal only sends a completed input screen (page) to the host instead of sending each character as the keys are pressed.
- rare mode — (operating system) Unix CBREAK mode (character-by-character with keyboard interrupts enabled). Distinguished from raw mode and cooked mode; the phrase "a sort of half-cooked (rare?) mode" is used in the V7/BSD manuals to describe the mode. Usage: rare.
- real mode — An operating mode of Intel 80x86 processors. The opposite of protected mode.
- root mode — Synonym with wizard mode or "wheel mode". Like these, it is often generalised to describe privileged states in systems other than operating systems.
- root node — (mathematics, data) In a tree, a node with no parents, but which typically has daughters.
- safe mode — (operating system) An alternative way to start Microsoft Windows such that only a minimal set of software components (drivers and background processes) are loaded, making it easier to diagnose problems. Safe mode loads a standard low resolution video driver and does not support connection to the Internet. Windows will sometimes restart in safe mode automatically following a crash. All Windows versions except Windows 3.1 can be started in safe mode, usually by holding the Ctrl or F8 key while the computer is restarting. To start Windows NT in safe mode you need to edit C:\boot.ini. Once the problem is fixed you need to restart Windows normally to load all the installed components.
- sort code — branch number of a bank
- staminode — a sterile or abortive stamen.
- time code — (on video or audio tape) a separate track on which time references are continually recorded in digital form as an aid to editing
- transcode — (language) An early system on the Ferut computer.
- trematode — any parasitic platyhelminth or flatworm of the class Trematoda, having one or more external suckers; fluke.
