I don't see how a eloquent quotation proves a point?
Software is bounded by the human mind AND physics. Everything is actually bounded by the previous aforementioned things. It's just that the physical bounds are less apparent for programming. But it is only "less" apparent measured relative to other engineering fields... when viewed without comparison to other engineering fields, the physical limitations of software are still readily apparent.
When you replied to me, was the post created instantaneously or was there a delay? That delay is due to physical limitations. If you don't code taking into account physical limitations and Big Oh complexity, well those limitations become even MORE apparent. In fact the entire Big Oh complexity thing solely exists because of physical limitations.
- elvis10ten 4y agoReread my comment I wasn’t trying to prove a point. I explicitly stated why I included the quotes :) I wasn’t going to repeat what the other comments already said: you are right but you are missing the point? Like you said: > But it is only "less" apparent measured relative to other engineering fields... when viewed without comparison to other engineering fields I don’t think any of the authors will disagree with what you just said.
