You're right - my comment was intentionally snarky, and deserved all the downvotes it got. You're right - these are idioms. Idioms for working with current hardware. Essentially, these are machine implementation details, and while, yes, we currently have to program machines to get anything done, not everyone finds that kind of work rewarding or interesting. I didn't mean to degrade the type of person that finds this interesting, I wanted to point out the divide between the hardware hacker and the, for a lack of a better term, math hacker. I hope that clears up my intentions!
