Chancery \Chan"cer*y\, n. [F. chancellerie, LL. cancellaria,       from L. cancellarius. See {Chancellor}, and cf.       {Chancellery}.]       1. In England, formerly, the highest court of judicature next             to the Parliament, exercising jurisdiction at law, but             chiefly in equity; but under the jurisdiction act of 1873             it became the chancery division of the High Court of             Justice, and now exercises jurisdiction only in equity.          2. In the Unites States, a court of equity; equity;             proceeding in equity.          Note: A court of chancery, so far as it is a court of equity,                in the English and American sense, may be generally, if                not precisely, described as one having jurisdiction in                cases of rights, recognized and protected by the                municipal jurisprudence, where a plain, adequate, and                complete remedy can not be had in the courts of common                law. In some of the American States, jurisdiction at                law and in equity centers in the same tribunal. The                courts of the United States also have jurisdiction both                at law and in equity, and in all such cases they                exercise their jurisdiction, as courts of law, or as                courts of equity, as the subject of adjudication may                require. In others of the American States, the courts                that administer equity are distinct tribunals, having                their appropriate judicial officers, and it is to the                latter that the appellation courts of chancery is                usually applied; but, in American law, the terms equity                and court of equity are more frequently employed than                the corresponding terms chancery and court of chancery.                --Burrill.          {Inns of chancery}. See under {Inn}.          {To get (or to hold) In chancery} (Boxing), to get the head             of an antagonist under one's arm, so that one can pommel             it with the other fist at will; hence, to have wholly in             One's power. The allusion is to the condition of a person             involved in the chancery court, where he was helpless,             while the lawyers lived upon his estate.

The posture or position of a person or an animal, or the             manner in which the parts of his body are disposed;             position assumed or studied to serve a purpose; as, a             threatening attitude; an attitude of entreaty.          3. Fig.: Position as indicating action, feeling, or mood; as,             in times of trouble let a nation preserve a firm attitude;             one's mental attitude in respect to religion.                         The attitude of the country was rapidly changing.                                                                               --J. R. Green.          {To strike an attitude}, to take an attitude for mere effect.          Syn: {Attitude}, {Posture}.          Usage: Both of these words describe the visible disposition                   of the limbs. Posture relates to their position                   merely; attitude refers to their fitness for some                   specific object. The object of an attitude is to set                   forth exhibit some internal feeling; as, attitude of                   wonder, of admiration, of grief, etc. It is,                   therefore, essentially and designedly expressive. Its                   object is the same with that of gesture; viz., to hold                   forth and represent. Posture has no such design. If we                   speak of posture in prayer, or the posture of                   devotion, it is only the natural disposition of the                   limbs, without any intention to show forth or exhibit.                               'T is business of a painter in his choice of                            attitudes (positur[91]) to foresee the effect                            and harmony of the lights and shadows. --Dryden.                               Never to keep the body in the same posture half                            an hour at a time.                        --Bacon.

Tally \Tal"ly\, n.; pl. {Tallies}. [OE. taile, taille, F. taille       a cutting, cut tally, fr. tailler to cut, but influenced       probably by taill[82], p. p. of tailler. See {Tailor}, and       cf. {Tail} a limitation, {Taille}, {Tallage}.]       1. Originally, a piece of wood on which notches or scores             were cut, as the marks of number; later, one of two books,             sheets of paper, etc., on which corresponding accounts             were kept.          Note: In purshasing and selling, it was once customary for                traders to have two sticks, or one stick cleft into two                parts, and to mark with a score or notch, on each, the                number or quantity of goods delivered, -- the seller                keeping one stick, and the purchaser the other. Before                the use of writing, this, or something like it, was the                only method of keeping accounts; and tallies were                received as evidence in courts of justice. In the                English exchequer were tallies of loans, one part being                kept in the exchequer, the other being given to the                creditor in lieu of an obligation for money lent to                government.          2.

One thing made to suit another; a match; a mate.                         They were framed the tallies for each other.                                                                               --Dryden.          4. A notch, mark, or score made on or in a tally; as, to make             or earn a tally in a game.          5. A tally shop. See {Tally shop}, below.          {Tally shop}, a shop at which goods or articles are sold to             customers on account, the account being kept in             corresponding books, one called the tally, kept by the             buyer, the other the counter tally, kept by the seller,             and the payments being made weekly or otherwise by             agreement. The trade thus regulated is called tally trade.             --Eng. Encyc.          {To strike tallies}, to act in correspondence, or alike.             [Obs.] --Fuller.

The Story of Mel          This was posted to Usenet by its author, Ed Nather    (), on May 21, 1983.          A recent article devoted to the _macho_ side of programming       made the bald and unvarnished statement:                Real Programmers write in FORTRAN.          Maybe they do now,       in this decadent era of       Lite beer, hand calculators, and ``user-friendly'' software       but back in the Good Old Days,       when the term ``software'' sounded funny       and Real Computers were made out of drums and vacuum tubes,       Real Programmers wrote in machine code.       Not FORTRAN.   Not RATFOR.   Not, even, assembly language.       Machine Code.       Raw, unadorned, inscrutable hexadecimal numbers.       Directly.          Lest a whole new generation of programmers       grow up in ignorance of this glorious past,       I feel duty-bound to describe,       as best I can through the generation gap,       how a Real Programmer wrote code.       I'll call him Mel,       because that was his name.          I first met Mel when I went to work for Royal McBee Computer Corp.,       a now-defunct subsidiary of the typewriter company.       The firm manufactured the LGP-30,       a small, cheap (by the standards of the day)       drum-memory computer,       and had just started to manufacture       the RPC-4000, a much-improved,       bigger, better, faster --- drum-memory computer.       Cores cost too much,       and weren't here to stay, anyway.       (That's why you haven't heard of the company,       or the computer.)          I had been hired to write a FORTRAN compiler       for this new marvel and Mel was my guide to its wonders.       Mel didn't approve of compilers.          ``If a program can't rewrite its own code'',       he asked, ``what good is it?''          Mel had written,       in hexadecimal,       the most popular computer program the company owned.       It ran on the LGP-30       and played blackjack with potential customers       at computer shows.       Its effect was always dramatic.       The LGP-30 booth was packed at every show,       and the IBM salesmen stood around       talking to each other.       Whether or not this actually sold computers       was a question we never discussed.          Mel's job was to re-write       the blackjack program for the RPC-4000.       (Port?   What does that mean?)       The new computer had a one-plus-one       addressing scheme,       in which each machine instruction,       in addition to the operation code       and the address of the needed operand,       had a second address that indicated where, on the revolving drum,       the next instruction was located.          In modern parlance,       every single instruction was followed by a GO TO!       Put _that_ in Pascal's pipe and smoke it.          Mel loved the RPC-4000       because he could optimize his code:       that is, locate instructions on the drum       so that just as one finished its job,       the next would be just arriving at the ``read head''       and available for immediate execution.       There was a program to do that job,       an ``optimizing assembler'',       but Mel refused to use it.          ``You never know where it's going to put things'',       he explained, ``so you'd have to use separate constants''.          It was a long time before I understood that remark.       Since Mel knew the numerical value       of every operation code,       and assigned his own drum addresses,       every instruction he wrote could also be considered       a numerical constant.       He could pick up an earlier ``add'' instruction, say,       and multiply by it,       if it had the right numeric value.       His code was not easy for someone else to modify.          I compared Mel's hand-optimized programs       with the same code massaged by the optimizing assembler program,       and Mel's always ran faster.       That was because the ``top-down'' method of program design       hadn't been invented yet,       and Mel wouldn't have used it anyway.       He wrote the innermost parts of his program loops first,       so they would get first choice       of the optimum address locations on the drum.       The optimizing assembler wasn't smart enough to do it that way.          Mel never wrote time-delay loops, either,       even when the balky Flexowriter       required a delay between output characters to work right.       He just located instructions on the drum       so each successive one was just _past_ the read head       when it was needed;       the drum had to execute another complete revolution       to find the next instruction.       He coined an unforgettable term for this procedure.       Although ``optimum'' is an absolute term,       like ``unique'', it became common verbal practice       to make it relative:       ``not quite optimum'' or ``less optimum''       or ``not very optimum''.       Mel called the maximum time-delay locations       the ``most pessimum''.          After he finished the blackjack program       and got it to run       (``Even the initializer is optimized'',       he said proudly),       he got a Change Request from the sales department.       The program used an elegant (optimized)       random number generator       to shuffle the ``cards'' and deal from the ``deck'',       and some of the salesmen felt it was too fair,       since sometimes the customers lost.       They wanted Mel to modify the program       so, at the setting of a sense switch on the console,       they could change the odds and let the customer win.          Mel balked.       He felt this was patently dishonest,       which it was,       and that it impinged on his personal integrity as a programmer,       which it did,       so he refused to do it.       The Head Salesman talked to Mel,       as did the Big Boss and, at the boss's urging,       a few Fellow Programmers.       Mel finally gave in and wrote the code,       but he got the test backwards,       and, when the sense switch was turned on,       the program would cheat, winning every time.       Mel was delighted with this,       claiming his subconscious was uncontrollably ethical,       and adamantly refused to fix it.          After Mel had left the company for greener pa$ture$,       the Big Boss asked me to look at the code       and see if I could find the test and reverse it.       Somewhat reluctantly, I agreed to look.       Tracking Mel's code was a real adventure.          I have often felt that programming is an art form,       whose real value can only be appreciated       by another versed in the same arcane art;       there are lovely gems and brilliant coups       hidden from human view and admiration, sometimes forever,       by the very nature of the process.       You can learn a lot about an individual       just by reading through his code,       even in hexadecimal.       Mel was, I think, an unsung genius.          Perhaps my greatest shock came       when I found an innocent loop that had no test in it.       No test.   _None_.       Common sense said it had to be a closed loop,       where the program would circle, forever, endlessly.       Program control passed right through it, however,       and safely out the other side.       It took me two weeks to figure it out.          The RPC-4000 computer had a really modern facility       called an index register.       It allowed the programmer to write a program loop       that used an indexed instruction inside;       each time through,       the number in the index register       was added to the address of that instruction,       so it would refer       to the next datum in a series.       He had only to increment the index register       each time through.       Mel never used it.          Instead, he would pull the instruction into a machine register,       add one to its address,       and store it back.       He would then execute the modified instruction       right from the register.       The loop was written so this additional execution time       was taken into account ---       just as this instruction finished,       the next one was right under the drum's read head,       ready to go.       But the loop had no test in it.          The vital clue came when I noticed       the index register bit,       the bit that lay between the address       and the operation code in the instruction word,       was turned on ---       yet Mel never used the index register,       leaving it zero all the time.       When the light went on it nearly blinded me.          He had located the data he was working on       near the top of memory ---       the largest locations the instructions could address ---       so, after the last datum was handled,       incrementing the instruction address       would make it overflow.       The carry would add one to the       operation code, changing it to the next one in the instruction set:       a jump instruction.       Sure enough, the next program instruction was       in address location zero,       and the program went happily on its way.          I haven't kept in touch with Mel,       so I don't know if he ever gave in to the flood of       change that has washed over programming techniques       since those long-gone days.       I like to think he didn't.       In any event,       I was impressed enough that I quit looking for the       offending test,       telling the Big Boss I couldn't find it.       He didn't seem surprised.          When I left the company,       the blackjack program would still cheat       if you turned on the right sense switch,       and I think that's how it should be.       I didn't feel comfortable       hacking up the code of a Real Programmer.       This is one of hackerdom's great heroic epics, free verse or no.   In a    few spare images it captures more about the esthetics and psychology of    hacking than all the scholarly volumes on the subject put together.    For an opposing point of view, see the entry for {Real Programmer}.          [1992 postscript -- the author writes: "The original submission to    the net was not in free verse, nor any approximation to it -- it was    straight prose style, in non-justified paragraphs.   In bouncing around    the net it apparently got modified into the `free verse' form now    popular.   In other words, it got hacked on the net.   That seems    appropriate, somehow." The author adds that he likes the `free-verse'    version better...]          [1999 update: Mel's last name is now known.   The manual for the    LGP-30 refers to "Mel Kaye of Royal McBee who did the bulk of the    programming [...] of the ACT 1 system".]
