fuzz

en-noun

fuzz (countable and uncountable, plural fuzzes)

Uncertain. Some dictionaries suggest a Germanic source; compare Low German fussig (“loose; spongy”), Dutch voos (“unsound; rotten”). Others, such as Webster's New College Dictionary, suggest a back-formation from fuzzy. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests, “Perhaps imitative of the action of blowing away light particles.”

"Fuzz testing" or "fuzzing" is a technique for software testing that provides random data ("fuzz") to the inputs of a program.

(computing) The random data used in fuzz testing.

Sulley works by fuzzing the first fuzzable field to be fuzzed. While it is iterating through all the values it wants to try for that field, all the other fields are untouched and remain at their default value.

2012, Charlie Miller, Dion Blazakis, Dino DaiZovi, iOS Hacker's Handbook, page 172:

(computing) To test a software component by running it on randomly generated input.


programming

en-noun

programming (usually uncountable, plural programmings)

/ˈpɹəʊɡɹəmɪŋ/

/ˈpɹoʊɡɹæmɪŋ/

Management wanted to know how much programming the project would need.

(computing) The act of writing a computer program.


in silico

/ɪn ˈsɪlɪkəʊ/

From in and silicon (from Latin silex (“flint, pebble, stone; crag, rock”)) + Latin -ō, by analogy with English in vitro (“in glass, referring to an experiment conducted in a test tube”). The silico component refers to silicon chips which were used for computing at the time when the term was coined.

cog

He was able to dissect the frog in silico.

In the future, computers can be used as experimental tools, generating a new source of investigation of living organisms, their study in silico (in contrast to in vivo or in vitro).

1996, Antoine Danchin, “On Genomes and Cosmologies”, in Julio Collado-Vides, Boris Magasanik, Temple F[erris] Smith, editors, Integrative Approaches to Molecular Biology, Cambridge, Mass., London: MIT Press, →ISBN, page 92:

The term "virtual screening" (or in silico screening) was first reported in the scientific literature in 1997[…]; it can be defined as a set of computer methods that analyzes large databases or collections of compounds in order to identify and prioritize likely hit candidates[…]. In silico screening search can be performed on libraries that contain physically existing compounds or on virtual libraries, and thus on compounds that are not yet synthesized. […] [I]t should be noted that in silico screening goes much beyond number crunching, it helps to generate ideas, to reduce the cost and to gain knowledge.

2016, Bruno O. Villotriex, Melaine A. Kuenemann, David Lagorce, Olivier Sperandio, Maria A. Miteva, “In Silico Approaches Assisting the Rational Design of Low Molecular Weight Protein–Protein Interaction Modulators”, in Claudio N. Cavasotto, editor, In Silico Drug Discovery and Design: Theory, Methods, Challenges, and Applications, Boca Raton, Fla.: CRC Press, →ISBN, page 460:

There is an increasing number of in silico models for toxicological endpoints. Some of these models offer significant benefits over existing in vivo or in vitro models. First, they require no materials and will make a prediction from the chemical structure alone. Once the models are built, they are usually fast and cheap to run. […]

bogus

en-adj

bogus (comparative more bogus, superlative most bogus)

more bogus (comparative)
most bogus (superlative)

First attested as an underworld term for an apparatus for creating counterfeit coins, then the coins themselves. Later, the word was applied to anything of poor quality. The newest use to mean useless is probably from the slang of computer hackers.
The origin is unknown, but there are at least two theories that try to trace its origin:
* From Hausa boko (“to fake”). Since bogus first appeared in the United States, it may be possible that its ancestor was brought there on a slave ship.
* From criminal slang as a short form of tantrabogus, a 19th-century slang term for a menacing object, making some believe that bogus might be linked to bogy or bogey (see bogeyman). In this sense, Bogus might be related to Bogle – a traditional trickster from the Scottish Borders, noted for achieving acts of household trickery; confusing, but not usually damaging.

(computing, slang) Incorrect, useless, or broken.

/kəŋˈkʌɹənt/

/kəŋˈkɝɹənt/

From Middle English concurrent, from Old French concurrent, from Latin concurrēns, present active participle of concurrō (“happen at the same time”), from con- (“with”) + currō (“run”).

Informally, a concurrent program is one that does more than one thing at a time. […] However, this simultaneity is sometimes an illusion.

2000, Douglas Lea, Concurrent Programming in Java, Addison-Wesley, →ISBN, page 19:

Different concurrent designs enable different ways to parallelize.

2012, Rob Pike, “Concurrency is not Parallelism”, in Waza Conference, San Francisco, page 21:

More precisely, a concurrent algorithm (or concurrent program) is the description of a set of sequential state machines that cooperate through a communication medium, e. g., a shared memory.

2012, Michel Raynal, Concurrent Programming, Springer Science & Business, →ISBN, page 4:

Many languages are dogmatic about the solutions they offer for handling concurrent problems. For example, Erlang has elegant functionality for message-passing concurrency but has only obscure ways to share state between threads.

2018, Steve Klabnik, Carol Nichols, The Rust Programming Language, No Starch Press, →ISBN, page 342:

[…] Vibration motors in smartphones and tablets can also be seen as a rudimentary form of haptic feedback.
