As an ultimate answer to this question one would like to have something similar to Bell's (1964) famous theorem, i.e., a succinct crispy statement of the fundamental difference between quantum and classical systems, encapsulated in the non-commutative character of observables.
- It is not clear to me that the adjective "crispy" should ever be used to modify the noun "statement" in a professional publication.
- Even so, a comma should be inserted between two consecutive adjectives: "a succinct, crispy statement"
- 120 reviewers: fail
My guess is that those smart logicians have figured out that wall street is just some sort of shell game - and now wall street is offering to cut them in on the deal to keep them quiet.
Where I worked, whenever you were upgraded to the newest, most powerful machine, there was some incentive to name your machine in such a way as to discourage others from creeping on and stealing cycles.
Slow sounding names was one way. Names that were hard to spell was another.
I almost named my machine "camouflage"
I settled on "potato" (it *was* the Dan Quayle era, after all)
VHDL and Verilog are perhaps the most widespread parallel programming languages in use today.
Admittedly, hardware design is, by nature, more static than most software designs. Nonetheless, hardware designers seem to have relatively little difficulty programming "in parallel".

I mean seriously, what did this guy do or fail to do?
Lead and instill a culture of safety and accountability in a company with a history of dangerous cost cutting.
And the aqueducts.
But apart from the aqueduct, the sanitation and the roads...
And its safe to walk the streets at night.
Don't you find it at all interesting that a world economy governed by a "number" used for identification was predicted 2000 years ago?

I mean, Genesis 2 alone...
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
I'm intrigued by the fact that within the DNA structure of humans we find:
male : XY chromosome
female: XX chromosome
Not to say that you should think of the X chromosome as Adam's rib ..
No need for the "force you to sell it" clause.

Common Lisp provided this mechanism years
ago. I guess people just liked parenthesis
so much that they never changed it

program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common

If you had only one finger, in which number
system would you naturally count?
The answer is: base 2. (Think: computer)
Given N fingers, the "natural" number system is
base N+1, not N.

Wow. Enlightened _and_ open minded.
Interesting, isn't it, how "intolorance"
is something that only "fundamentalist"
suffer from.
How convenient for you.
