Talk:static
static is not limited to radio -- it affects radio, TV, etc -- probably including microwave, but I have done no work with microwave transmission. Cem BSEE 12:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

Is Defn 3 really valid? Surely Defn 4 is the correct programming terminology, unchanging values are called "constant"? --GingerBeast 11:00, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. Definition 4 is specific to a few object-oriented languages (C++ and its relatives), definition 3 is more general. Consider the following usages covered under definition 3: "a static website" is a website consisting of html/js/image files generated in advance (as opposed to content generated on the fly from database or API queries); "static type checking" and "static analysis" refer to verifying at compile time that your program's source code is correct/safe (as opposed to checking whether your program's observed behavior at run time is correct/safe); "a static variable" (in C-like languages) is a variable whose memory location is fixed at compile time (as opposed to the usual automatic local variable, whose memory location depends on how deep your stack is at a given moment at program run time); etc. etc. Tetromino (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
