   tense adj.   Of programs, very clever and efficient.   A tense
   piece of code often got that way because it was highly {bum}med, but
   sometimes it was just based on a great idea.   A comment in a clever
   routine by Mike Kazar, once a grad-student hacker at CMU: "This
   routine is so tense it will bring tears to your eyes."   A tense
   programmer is one who produces tense code.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   thunk /thuhnk/ n.   1. [obs.]"A piece of coding which provides
   an address", according to P. Z. Ingerman, who invented thunks in
   1961 as a way of binding actual parameters to their formal
   definitions in Algol-60 procedure calls.   If a procedure is called
   with an expression in the place of a formal parameter, the compiler
   generates a thunk which computes the expression and leaves the
   address of the result in some standard location.   2. Later
   generalized into: an expression, frozen together with its
   environment, for later evaluation if and when needed (similar to
   what in techspeak is called a `closure').   The process of unfreezing
   these thunks is called `forcing'.   3. A {stubroutine}, in an overlay
   programming environment, that loads and jumps to the correct
   overlay.   Compare {trampoline}.   4. People and activities scheduled
   in a thunklike manner.   "It occurred to me the other day that I am
   rather accurately modeled by a thunk -- I frequently need to be
   forced to completion." -- paraphrased from a {plan file}.
  
      Historical note: There are a couple of onomatopoeic myths
   circulating about the origin of this term.   The most common is that
   it is the sound made by data hitting the stack; another holds that
   the sound is that of the data hitting an accumulator.   Yet another
   suggests that it is the sound of the expression being unfrozen at
   argument-evaluation time.   In fact, according to the inventors, it
   was coined after they realized (in the wee hours after hours of
   discussion) that the type of an argument in Algol-60 could be
   figured out in advance with a little compile-time thought,
   simplifying the evaluation machinery.   In other words, it had
   `already been thought of'; thus it was christened a `thunk', which
   is "the past tense of `think' at two in the morning".

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   TWENEX /twe'neks/ n.   The TOPS-20 operating system by {DEC} --
   the second proprietary OS for the PDP-10 -- preferred by most PDP-10
   hackers over TOPS-10 (that is, by those who were not {{ITS}} or
   {{WAITS}} partisans).   TOPS-20 began in 1969 as Bolt, Beranek &
   Newman's TENEX operating system using special paging hardware.   By
   the early 1970s, almost all of the systems on the ARPANET ran TENEX.
   DEC purchased the rights to TENEX from BBN and began work to make
   it their own.   The first in-house code name for the operating system
   was VIROS (VIRtual memory Operating System); when customers started
   asking questions, the name was changed to SNARK so DEC could
   truthfully deny that there was any project called VIROS.   When the
   name SNARK became known, the name was briefly reversed to become
   KRANS; this was quickly abandoned when someone objected that `krans'
   meant `funeral wreath' in Swedish (though some Swedish speakers have
   since said it means simply `wreath'; this part of the story may be
   apocryphal).   Ultimately DEC picked TOPS-20 as the name of the
   operating system, and it was as TOPS-20 that it was marketed.   The
   hacker community, mindful of its origins, quickly dubbed it TWENEX

   thunk
  
      /thuhnk/ 1. "A piece of coding which provides an
      address", according to P. Z. Ingerman, who invented thunks in
      1961 as a way of binding {actual parameters} to their formal
      definitions in {ALGOL 60} {procedure} calls.   If a procedure
      is called with an expression in the place of a {formal
      parameter}, the compiler generates a thunk which computes the
      expression and leaves the address of the result in some
      standard location.
  
      2. The term was later generalised to mean an expression,
      frozen together with its {environment} (variable values), for
      later evaluation if and when needed (similar to a
      "{closure}").   The process of unfreezing these thunks is
      called "forcing".
  
      3. A {stubroutine}, in an {overlay} programming environment,
      that loads and jumps to the correct overlay.
  
      Compare {trampoline}.
  
      There are a couple of onomatopoeic myths circulating about the
      origin of this term.   The most common is that it is the sound
      made by data hitting the {stack}; another holds that the sound
      is that of the data hitting an {accumulator}.   Yet another
      suggests that it is the sound of the expression being unfrozen
      at argument-evaluation time.   In fact, according to the
      inventors, it was coined after they realised (in the wee hours
      after hours of discussion) that the type of an argument in
      {ALGOL 60} could be figured out in advance with a little
      {compile-time} thought, simplifying the evaluation machinery.
      In other words, it had "already been thought of"; thus it was
      christened a "thunk", which is "the past tense of "think" at
      two in the morning".
  
      4. ({Microsoft Windows} programming) {universal thunk},

   TMS 9900
  
      One of the first true 16-bit {microprocessor}s, released by
      {Texas Instruments} in June 1976 (the first are probably
      {National Semiconductor} {IMP-16} or {AMD-2901} {bit slice
      processor}s in 16-bit configuration).   It was designed as a
      single chip version of the {TI 990} {minicomputer} series,
      much like the {Intersil 6100} was a single chip {PDP-8}, and
      the {Fairchild 9440} and {Data General mN601} were both one
      chip versions of {Data General}'s {Nova}.   Unlike the IMS
      6100, however, the TMS 9900 had a mature, well thought out
      design.
  
      It had a 15-bit {address space} and two internal 16 bit
      {register}s.   One unique feature was that all user {register}s
      were actually kept in memory - this included {stack pointer}s
      and the {program counter}.   A single workspace {register}
      pointed to the 16 {register set} in {RAM}, so when a
      subroutine was entered or an {interrupt} was processed, only
      the single workspace register had to be changed - unlike some
      {CPU}s which required dozens or more register saves before
      acknowledging a {context switch}.
  
      This was feasible at the time because {RAM} was often faster
      than the {CPU}s.   A few modern designs, such as the {INMOS}
      {transputer}, use this same design using {cache}s or {rotating
      buffer}s, for the same reason of faster {context switch}es.
      Other chips of the time, such as the {650x} series had a
      similar philosophy, using {index register}s, but the TMS 9900
      went the farthest in this direction.
  
      That wasn't the only positive feature of the chip.   It had
      good {interrupt} handling features and very good instruction
      set.   Serial I/O was available through address lines.   In
      typical comparisons with the {Intel 8086}, the TMS9900 had
      smaller and faster programs.   The only disadvantage was the
      small {address space} and need for fast {RAM}.
  
      Despite very poor support from Texas Instruments, the TMS 9900
      had the potential at one point to surpass the {Intel 8086} in
      popularity.

   TWENEX
  
      /twe'neks/ The TOPS-20 {operating system}
      by {DEC} - the second proprietary OS for the {PDP-10} -
      preferred by most PDP-10 hackers over TOPS-10 (that is, by
      those who were not {ITS} or {WAITS} partisans).   TOPS-20 began
      in 1969 as {Bolt, Beranek & Newman}'s {TENEX} operating system
      using special paging hardware.   By the early 1970s, almost all
      of the systems on the {ARPANET} ran TENEX.   DEC purchased the
      rights to TENEX from BBN and began work to make it their own.
      The first in-house code name for the operating system was
      VIROS (VIRtual memory Operating System); when customers
      started asking questions, the name was changed to SNARK so DEC
      could truthfully deny that there was any project called VIROS.
      When the name SNARK became known, the name was briefly
      reversed to become KRANS; this was quickly abandoned when
      someone objected that "krans" meant "funeral wreath" in
      Swedish (though some Swedish speakers have since said it means
      simply "wreath"; this part of the story may be apocryphal).
  
      Ultimately DEC picked TOPS-20 as the name of the operating
      system, and it was as TOPS-20 that it was marketed.   The
      hacker community, mindful of its origins, quickly dubbed it
      TWENEX (a contraction of "twenty TENEX"), even though by this
      point very little of the original TENEX code remained
      (analogously to the differences between AT&T V6 Unix and BSD).

   Economy
  
   Overview: The economy's base is agriculture, which employs about 70%
   of the labor force and contributes 40% to GDP. Squash, coconuts,
   bananas, and vanilla beans are the main crops, and agricultural
   exports make up two-thirds of total exports. The country must import a
   high proportion of its food, mainly from New Zealand. The
   manufacturing sector accounts for only 11% of GDP. Tourism is the
   primary source of hard currency earnings, but the country also remains
   dependent on sizable external aid and remittances to offset its trade
   deficit. The economy continued to grow in 1993-94 largely because of a
   rise in squash exports, increased aid flows, and several large
   construction projects. The government is now turning its attention to
   further development of the private sector and the reduction of the
   budget deficit.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Tunisia has a diverse economy, with important agricultural,
   mining, energy, tourism, and manufacturing sectors. Detailed
   governmental control of economic affairs has gradually lessened over
   the past decade, including increasing privatization of trade and
   commerce, simplification of the tax structure, and a cautious approach
   to debt. Real growth has averaged roughly 5% in 1991-94, and inflation
   has been moderate. Growth in tourism and IMF support have been key
   elements in this solid record. Further privatization and further
   improvements in government administrative efficiency are among the
   challenges for the future.
