It’s “data humans might be interested in” rather than “data as we happen to implement using semiconductor circuits”.
“Data-centric” is an overloaded concept that means different things to different groups of people (all legitimate).
- pphysch 5y agoLet us be honest: this textbook is the result of academic inbreeding and the career ambitions of its authors. Find me a single job posting that involves both "data" and programming (including relatively complicated recursive binary tree algorithms) yet does not rely on the barbarian semiconductor or its vulgar bits.
- thewakalix 5y agoSure, all programming "relies" on hardware and low-level languages, but that doesn't mean that a purely high-level approach is useless. That's the point of abstractions.
