| | Talk:Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Indeed, producing readable code that other humans (and not merely computers) can easily understand is one of the hallmarks of a good programmer. | | | We believe that producing readable code is mostly through renaming, refactoring, etc. so that the name of an variable communicates (to humans) what it is, the name of a method communicates (to humans) what it does, etc. | | | Since most of the cost of software across the useful lifespan of a program is invested in enhancements and maintenance, the human-readability of programs is much more important than their nature as a "technique for expressing instructions to a computer". |

| | Human Readable vs Machine Readable |
| | The ISO numeric date format is arguably both more machine readable and more human-readable, since Arabic numerals in a position-based decimal system are far closer to a universal language than any other form of notation, so far as I'm aware. | | | Without necessarily advocating harshly opaque binary formats, I wish to bring into serious question the idea that any representation can be considered generally human-readable when it includes elements of a particular natural language (eg "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", etc). | | | Such a practice makes it more readable for a particular subset of humans while not aiding the others, and arguably making the machine side of things harder. |

| | In computing specifically, the phrase human-readable refers to data that is stored in a format easily read by most humans - normally as ASCII-encoded text, as opposed to binary data. | | | In the case of bar codes used in stores, laws frequently mandate that a human-readable price be displayed with the merchandise, rather than relying solely on the machine-readable bar code and price disclosure only at the point of sale. | | | online internet encyclopedia web site which gives detailed account of whole field of human knowledge. |

| | If it happens to be stored on a physical medium that is easily accessible by humans (such as a disk), then this surface annotation might be rendered as a human-readable label on the physical exterior of the storage unit, but this may not be feasible. | | | First, an abstract, formal description could be saved, which could be interpreted by a human or program in the future to enable construction of the desired emulator. | | | In order for all of this saved information (encodings, translators, history of translations that have been performed, and so forth) to remain readable in the future, it must be stored using this same transliteration scheme, that is, it must be encoded in a current annotation standard, to be subset-translated as needed in the future. |

| | Fuzzy Modes Philosophy |
| | While human readable modes require a human to be available to perform the processing, the results are well worth while, as the performance that results, particularly with noisy transmissions, is remarkable. | | | It is important that, for highest human performance, no electronic or software data processing that might alter the results is performed prior to input to the human signal processor. | | | In the context of uncoded text and graphics radio reception, the human computer is the central processing device, and essential to the success of the technique. |

Each record includes a language element indicating the language of the human readable text within the record. | | | For example, a Database-info record includes an element which contains a description (in human readable text) of the database; to retrieve only the brief elements and the description element, the element set name 'description' may be used. | | | A default value which applies if the attribute is omitted, and a description of default behavior in human readable form. |

| | Further, sometimes even the human will need the unique name, or at least information derived from the unique name (such as "you may think you recognize that readable hostname, but it's not the one you think it is"). | | | Thus the "human readable" informational content of the DNS names will become less and less meaningful, until we are left with names that are essentially just unique identifiers. | | | Mapping Between The Unique Tree and the Readable Tree Within a site the human readable names are unique, but as soon as a DNS name leaves a site it would need to be converted to a globally unique name so that it will be useful to foreign users. |

| | This general problem is one that is already been addressed in the context of designing human readable names for objects in capability based systems, which also tend to use identities based on long random looking integers. | | | So chandler might want to support a way of providing nicknames, or pet names, which mean the same thing as the more precise uuids, but are more human readable. | | | This is exceptionally hard for a human being to remember, so such IDs make terrible URL components that a human might want to remember. |
