Otherwise you risk coming across as a rambling nutcase and no one will listen. Especially if you also use opaque almost incomprehensible language.
programmer must understand the limits of abstraction clearly, otherwise it's impossible to develop efficient algorithms. i think you can recall an example or two, where algos of equal mathematical complexity run at very different speeds. ;)Quote:

i don't know hardware-independent algos :rolleyes: even java codes, js, php.. are only theoretically portable things. :DQuote:
