Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.       carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from       its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;       or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. {Shark}, v. t. & i.);       cf. Corn. scarceas.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch             fishes of the order Plagiostomi, found in all seas.          Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,                grow to an enormous size, the former becoming forty                feet or more, and the latter sixty feet or more, in                length. Most of them are harmless to man, but some are                exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly                belong to the genera {Carcharhinus}, {Carcharodon}, and                related genera. They have several rows of large sharp                teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark                ({Carcharodon carcharias, [or] Rondeleti}) of tropical                seas, and the great blue shark ({Carcharhinus glaucus})                of all tropical and temperate seas. The former                sometimes becomes thirty-six feet long, and is the most                voracious and dangerous species known. The rare                man-eating shark of the United States coast                ({Charcarodon Atwoodi}) is thought by some to be a                variety, or the young, of {C. carcharias}. The dusky                shark ({Carcharhinus obscurus}), and the smaller blue                shark ({C. caudatus}), both common species on the coast                of the United States, are of moderate size and not                dangerous. They feed on shellfish and bottom fishes.          2. A rapacious, artful person; a sharper. [Colloq.]          3. Trickery; fraud; petty rapine; as, to live upon the shark.             [Obs.] --South.          {Baskin shark}, {Liver shark}, {Nurse shark}, {Oil shark},       {Sand shark}, {Tiger shark}, etc. See under {Basking},             {Liver}, etc. See also {Dogfish}, {Houndfish},             {Notidanian}, and {Tope}.          {Gray shark}, the sand shark.          {Hammer-headed shark}. See {Hammerhead}.          {Port Jackson shark}. See {Cestraciont}.          {Shark barrow}, the eggcase of a shark; a sea purse.          {Shark ray}. Same as {Angel fish}             (a), under {Angel}.          {Thrasher} shark, [or] {Thresher shark}, a large, voracious             shark. See {Thrasher}.          {Whale shark}, a huge harmless shark ({Rhinodon typicus}) of             the Indian Ocean. It becomes sixty feet or more in length,             but has very small teeth.

sanity check n.   [very common] 1.

syntactic salt n.   The opposite of {syntactic sugar}, a feature    designed to make it harder to write bad code.   Specifically,    syntactic salt is a hoop the programmer must jump through just to    prove that he knows what's going on, rather than to express a    program action.   Some programmers consider required type    declarations to be syntactic salt.   A requirement to write `end if',    `end while', `end do', etc. to terminate the last block controlled    by a control construct (as opposed to just `end') would definitely    be syntactic salt.   Syntactic salt is like the real thing in that it    tends to raise hackers' blood pressures in an unhealthy way.    Compare {candygrammar}.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
syntactic sugar n.   [coined by Peter Landin] Features added to    a language or other formalism to make it `sweeter' for humans,    features which do not affect the expressiveness of the formalism    (compare {chrome}).   Used esp. when there is an obvious and trivial    translation of the `sugar' feature into other constructs already    present in the notation.   C's `a[i]' notation is syntactic sugar for    `*(a + i)'.   "Syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon." --    Alan Perlis.          The variants `syntactic saccharin' and `syntactic syrup' are also    recorded.   These denote something even more gratuitous, in that    syntactic sugar serves a purpose (making something more acceptable    to humans), but syntactic saccharin or syrup serve no purpose at    all.   Compare {candygrammar}, {syntactic salt}.

syntactic sugar          Term coined by Peter Landin for additions to the syntax of a       language which do not affect its expressiveness but make it       "sweeter" for humans to use.   Syntactic sugar gives the       programmer an alternative way of coding that is more succinct       or more like some familiar notation.   It does not affect the       expressiveness of the formalism (compare {chrome}).          Syntactic sugar can be easily translated ("desugared") to       produce a program in some simpler "core" syntax.   E.g. C's       "a[i]" notation is syntactic sugar for "*(a + i)".   In a       (curried) functional language, all operators are really       functions and the use of {infix notation} "x+y" is syntactic       sugar for function application "(+) x y".          Alan Perlis once quipped, "Syntactic sugar causes cancer of       the semicolon."          The variants "syntactic saccharin" and "syntactic syrup" are       also recorded.   These denote something even more gratuitous,       in that they serve no purpose at all.   Compare {candygrammar},       {syntactic salt}.

syntax          The structure of strings in some language.   A language's       syntax is described by a {grammar}.   For example, the syntax       of a binary number could be expressed as          binary_number = bit [ binary_number ]          bit = "0" | "1"          meaning that a binary number is a bit optionally followed by a       binary number and a bit is a literal zero or one digit.          The meaning of the language is given by its {semantics}.          See also {abstract syntax}, {concrete syntax}.          (1994-10-31)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
syntax directed translation          A technique where the structure of a language processor (e.g. a       compiler) is based on the structure of the language's       {abstract syntax}.   There might be one procedure in the       translator corresponding to each category in the abstract       syntax.   That procedure is responsible for processing       constructs of that category.   Each procedure would call others       corresponding to the construct's subconstituents and then       combine their results to give the overall result for that       construct.

Syntax/Semantic Language          (S/SL) A high level {specification language} for       {recursive descent parsers} developed by J.R. Cordy       and R.C. Holt at the       University of Toronto in 1980.          S/SL is a small language that supports cheap recursion and       defines input, output, and error token names (& values),       semantic mechanisms (class interfaces whose methods are really       escapes to routines in a host programming language but allow       good abstraction in the pseudo-code) and a pseudo-code program       that defines the syntax of the input language by the token       stream the program accepts.   Alternation, control flow and       one-symbol look-ahead constructs are part of the language.          The S/SL processor compiles this pseudo-code into a table       (byte-codes) that is interpreted by the S/SL table-walker       (interpreter).   The pseudo-code language processes the input       language in recursive descent LL1 style but extensions allow       it to process any LRk language relatively easily.   S/SL is       designed to provide excellent syntax error recovery and       repair.   It is more powerful and transparent than yacc but       slower.          S/SL has been used to implement production commercial       compilers for languages such as {PL/I}, {Euclid}, {Turing},       {Ada}, and {COBOL}, as well as {interpreters}, {command       processors}, and domain specific languages of many kinds.          {(ftp://ftp.cs.queensu.ca/pub/cordy/ssl)}.          ["Specification of S/SL: Syntax/Semantic Language", J.R.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sinaiticus codex       usually designated by the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet,       is one of the most valuable of ancient MSS. of the Greek New       Testament. On the occasion of a third visit to the convent of       St. Catherine, on Mount Sinai, in 1859, it was discovered by Dr.       Tischendorf. He had on a previous visit in 1844 obtained       forty-three parchment leaves of the LXX., which he deposited in       the university library of Leipsic, under the title of the Codex       Frederico-Augustanus, after his royal patron the king of Saxony.       In the year referred to (1859) the emperor of Russia sent him to       prosecute his search for MSS., which he was convinced were still       to be found in the Sinai convent. The story of his finding the       manuscript of the New Testament has all the interest of a       romance. He reached the convent on 31st January; but his       inquiries appeared to be fruitless. On the 4th February he had       resolved to return home without having gained his object. "On       that day, when walking with the provisor of the convent, he       spoke with much regret of his ill-success. Returning from their       promenade, Tischendorf accompanied the monk to his room, and       there had displayed to him what his companion called a copy of       the LXX., which he, the ghostly brother, owned. The MS. was       wrapped up in a piece of cloth, and on its being unrolled, to       the surprise and delight of the critic the very document       presented itself which he had given up all hope of seeing. His       object had been to complete the fragmentary LXX. of 1844, which       he had declared to be the most ancient of all Greek codices on       vellum that are extant; but he found not only that, but a copy       of the Greek New Testament attached, of the same age, and       perfectly complete, not wanting a single page or paragraph."       This precious fragment, after some negotiations, he obtained       possession of, and conveyed it to the Emperor Alexander, who       fully appreciated its importance, and caused it to be published       as nearly as possible in facsimile, so as to exhibit correctly       the ancient handwriting. The entire codex consists of 346 1/2       folios. Of these 199 belong to the Old Testament and 147 1/2 to       the New, along with two ancient documents called the Epistle of       Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas. The books of the New       Testament stand thus: the four Gospels, the epistles of Paul,       the Acts of the Apostles, the Catholic Epistles, the Apocalypse       of John. It is shown by Tischendorf that this codex was written       in the fourth century, and is thus of about the same age as the       Vatican codex; but while the latter wants the greater part of       Matthew and sundry leaves here and there besides, the Sinaiticus       is the only copy of the New Testament in uncial characters which       is complete. Thus it is the oldest extant MS. copy of the New       Testament. Both the Vatican and the Sinai codices were probably       written in Egypt. (See {VATICANUS}.)
