The parasympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system whose activities in the body maintain both homeostasis and balance. It is active during the “rest and digest” physiological state. It normally serves to increase the glandular and intestinal activity, slow down the heart rate, decrease the blood pressure, as well as relax the sphincter muscles. It enhances food processing and the elimination of wastes under normal circumstances by stimulating and regulating digestion control. The neurons in this system make use of a neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine that allows for communication to take place from one cell to the next. The cholinergic fibers secrete acetylcholine. The parasympathetic nervous system, therefore, brings the body to a state of low activity where food digestion, as well as resting, occurs.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
