From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
uninteresting adj. 1. Said of a problem that, although {nontrivial}, can be solved simply by throwing sufficient resources at it. 2. Also said of problems for which a solution would neither advance the state of the art nor be fun to design and code. Hackers regard uninteresting problems as intolerable wastes of time, to be solved (if at all) by lesser mortals. _Real_ hackers (see {toolsmith}) generalize uninteresting problems enough to make them interesting and solve them -- thus solving the original problem as a special case (and, it must be admitted, occasionally turning a molehill into a mountain, or a mountain into a tectonic plate). See {WOMBAT}, {SMOP}; compare {toy problem}, oppose {interesting}. | |
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
unwind the stack vi. 1. [techspeak] During the execution of a procedural language, one is said to `unwind the stack' from a called procedure up to a caller when one discards the stack frame and any number of frames above it, popping back up to the level of the given caller. In C this is done with `longjmp'/`setjmp', in LISP or C++ with `throw/catch'. See also {smash the stack}. 2. People can unwind the stack as well, by quickly dealing with a bunch of problems: "Oh heck, let's do lunch. Just a second while I unwind my stack." | |
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
unwind-protect n. [MIT: from the name of a LISP operator] A task you must remember to perform before you leave a place or finish a project. "I have an unwind-protect to call my advisor." | |

Uninterruptible Power Supply guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming electrical power. Different rating UPSs will provide power for different lengths of time. Modern UPSs connect to the computer's {serial port} and provide information such as battery time remaining, allowing the computer to shut down {gracefully} before complete loss of power.

unwind the stack During the execution of a {procedural} language, one is said to "unwind the stack" from a called {procedure} up to a caller when one discards the {stack frame} and any number of frames above it, {pop}ping back up to the level of the given caller. In {C} this is done with "{longjmp}"/"{setjmp}", in {Lisp} with "{throw}/{catch}". See also {smash the stack}. [{Jargon File}] | |

unwind-protect ({MIT}) A {Lisp} operator which evaluates an expression and then, even if that expression causes a {non-local exit}, evaluates zero or more other expressions. This can be used to ensure that essential "clean-up" operations are performed even in the presence of errors. [{Jargon File}] (1994-11-03) |
