Jot Goar
Joshua Mercer Goar (January 31, 1870 – April 4, 1947), was an American professional baseball player who was a pitcher in the National League in 1896 and 1898. Listed at and , he threw and batted right-handed. Biography Goar pitched in four major league games; three games for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1896 and one game for the Cincinnati Reds in 1898, all in relief. In a total of innings pitched, he allowed 40 hits and 36 runs while striking out three batters and walking nine batters. As a batter, he had one hit in six at bats for a .167 batting average. Minor league records, incomplete for the era, list Goar as playing in the Western League during 1895–1897, and for the Indianapolis Hoosiers in 1900. Goar is noted for an unusual inning pitched when playing for the minor-league Anderson Tigers in the Indiana State League. On May 30, 1890, he reportedly allowed six hits (three triples, one double, and two singles) in a single inning without a run scoring. The unusual seq ...

Jot (programming Language)
In formal language theory and computer science, Iota and Jot (from Greek iota ι, Hebrew yodh י, the smallest letters in those two alphabets) are languages, extremely minimalist formal systems, designed to be even simpler than other more popular alternatives, such as the lambda calculus and SKI combinator calculus. Thus, they can also be considered minimalist computer programming languages, or Turing tarpits, esoteric programming languages designed to be as small as possible but still Turing-complete. Both systems use only two symbols and involve only two operations. Both were created by professor of linguistics Chris Barker in 2001. Zot (2002) is a successor to Iota that supports input and output. Note that this article uses Backus-Naur form to describe syntax. Universal iota Chris Barker's universal iota combinator has the very simple λf.fSK structure defined here, using denotational semantics in terms of the lambda calculus, From this, one can recover the usual SKI expr ...

The Joy Of Tech
''Joy of Tech'' is a webcomic created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, whose real names are Liza Schmalcel and Bruce Evans. Both are Canadians. The comic, which is produced three times a week, concentrates on technology-oriented themes, with an emphasis on the "cult" of Apple Computer products. In 2003, O'Reilly Media published a printed compilation, titled ''The Best of the Joy of Tech'', which includes an introduction by David Pogue and a foreword by Steve Wozniak Stephen Gary Wozniak (; born August 11, 1950), also known by his nickname "Woz", is an American electronics engineer, computer programmer, philanthropist, inventor, and technology entrepreneur.

Graffiti 2
"Graffiti 2 Powered by Jot" was introduced in 2003 as a revised version of the original Palm OS handwriting system Graffiti. In January 2003, PalmSource announced the change explaining that Graffiti 2 was based on ''Jot'' by Communication Intelligence Corporation (CIC) and would replace the original version of Graffiti. Graffiti 2 made its debut in Palm OS 4.1.2 for Motorola DragonBall-based handhelds and in Palm OS Garnet 5.2 for ARM-based ones. History The primary reason for the change was the fact that in April 1997 Xerox had sued PalmSource, Inc. over its use of Graffiti. After a legal fight lasting a number of years, and despite the dismissal of the case by a federal judge, Xerox won a reversal late in 2001 in the U.S. Court of Appeals. As part of their press for the new handwriting recognition system, PalmSource said that Jot and Graffiti 2 more closely followed the standard ways of drawing letters and numbers than the original Graffiti did; they also said that lowerin ...

Peripatetic Groups Of Afghanistan
There are several ethnic groups in Afghanistan which traditionally lead a peripatetic life. This means they are nomadic and their main occupations centre around providing services to the settled populations they travel among, like peddling particular goods or performing music. In this way, they contrast both with the settled population and with the pastoralist nomads. They are of low social status and are known to outsiders as ''Jats'', a derogatory term that none of the groups use as a self-designation. Name The term ''Jāt'' is derogatory and none of the peripatetic groups uses it for itself, although they do employ it in reference to other peripatetic communities. It is unclear how these distinct groups acquired the name Jat. In neighbouring South Asia, the term Jat refers to a large cluster of agriculture castes, some especially in the Balochistan are connected with camel breeding and herding. Social characteristics Generally, what defines groups is a nomadic lifestyle, wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jot (interval)
The savart is a unit of measurement for musical pitch intervals (). One savart is equal to one thousandth of a decade ( 10/1: 3,986.313714 cents): 3.9863 cents. Musically, in just intonation, the interval of a decade is precisely a just major twenty-fourth, or, in other words, three octaves and a just major third. Today the savart has largely been replaced by the cent and the millioctave. The savart is practically the same as the earlier heptameride (eptameride), one seventh of a meride (). One tenth of an heptameride is a decameride () and a hundredth of an heptameride (thousandth of a decade) is approximately one jot (). Definition If \frac is the ratio of frequencies of a given interval, the corresponding measure in savarts is given by: s = 1000 \log_ or \frac = 10^ Like the more common cent, the savart is a logarithmic measure, and thus intervals can be added by simply adding their savart values, instead of multiplying them as you would frequencies. The number of sava ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jot (letter)
J, or j, is the tenth letter in the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its usual name in English is ''jay'' (pronounced ), with a now-uncommon variant ''jy'' ."J", ''Oxford English Dictionary,'' 2nd edition (1989) When used in the International Phonetic Alphabet for the ''y'' sound, it may be called ''yod'' or ''jod'' (pronounced or ). History The letter ''J'' used to be used as the swash letter ''I'', used for the letter I at the end of Roman numerals when following another I, as in XXIIJ or xxiij instead of XXIII or xxiii for the Roman numeral twenty-three. A distinctive usage emerged in Middle High German. Gian Giorgio Trissino (1478–1550) was the first to explicitly distinguish I and J as representing separate sounds, in his ''Ɛpistola del Trissino de le lettere nuωvamente aggiunte ne la lingua italiana'' ("Trissino's epistle about the letters recently added in the Ital ...

JOT (TV Series)
''JOT'' (also known as ''JOT the Dot'') is an American animated children's television program that ran from 1965 to 1974, and 1980 to 1981. The series consisted of 30 four-minute episodes, which were syndicated between 1965 and the 1980s. ''JOT'' was executive produced by the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission (RATC) as a Baptist version of ''Davey and Goliath''. History Not only the first Christian animated series, but presumably the first preschool-aimed animated television series, it was created by Ruth Byers, a graduate of Baylor University, and Ted Perry a writer at the RATC. Both had a background connected to the Dallas Theater Center, with Byers having been director of children's productions. The pair was commissioned by Dr. Paul Stevens, president of the RATC, to develop a television show that would provide simple moral lessons for young children. Keitz & Herndon, an American television production company worked on JOT, alongside animator Tom Young. Product ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jot Or Tittle
A tittle or superscript dot is a small distinguishing mark, such as a diacritic in the form of a dot on a letter (for example, lowercase ''i'' or ''j''). The tittle is an integral part of the glyph of ''i'' and ''j'', but diacritic dots can appear over other letters in various languages. In most languages, the tittle of '' i'' or '' j'' is omitted when a diacritic is placed in the tittle's usual position (as í or ĵ), but not when the diacritic appears elsewhere (as į, ɉ). Use The word ''tittle'' is rarely used. One notable occurrence is in the King James Bible at Matthew 5:18: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (KJV). The quotation uses "jot and tittle" as examples of extremely small graphic details in "the Law," presumably referring to the Hebrew text of the Torah. In English the phrase "jot and tittle" indicates that every small detail has received attention. The Gre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
