An "assembler" program then translated, or assembled, these symbolic programming instructions into binary.
(Parallel compilers are software programs that translate programmers' language-oriented instructions into numeric codes that control computer operation).
What if a coach simply overhears an opposing coach in the next booth shouting instructions into the headset?
Transmeta's software technique, called code-morphing software, converts Intel computing instructions into V.L.I.W. instructions on the fly, sacrificing little performance.
'Adorable,' the store owner says, 'we can take more in a few weeks.' She sits behind the counter, tucking instructions into plastic packets of worry dolls.

The scientists targeted the retinal cells by injecting a virus, carrying a package of gene-editing instructions, into the eyes of blind three-week-old rats.
Antisense drugs are essentially short sequences of the genetic code that attach to messenger RNA, a molecule involved in translating genetic instructions into proteins.
Another technique, used by Incyte Genomics, is to look for RNA, which is made when cells turn gene instructions into proteins.
They will also rethink operating systems and compilers, the specialized software that translates raw programming instructions into something that computers can understand.
In 1949 Hopper joined the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corp., where she designed an improved compiler, which translated a programmer's instructions into computer codes.
