The Human Abstract

The Human Abstract is a progressive metal/mathcore band with neo-classical elements. They are from Los Angeles, California. They are freaking awesome and have some damn good guitarists and should be considered one of the best bands in the world.

The Human Abstracts best song would be crossing the rubicon coz it has a kick arse intro and the instrumental song would be Sotto Voce

E: Bummer!

Peterson Level of Abstraction

A level of specificity too specific to be of concern to a layperson, but that is often discussed at great length by those concerned with minute details of the subject matter.

A: "But if the transmutation statute requiring written evidence kicks in after 1985, you can rebut the 1984 Anti-Lucas joint tenancy presumption written requirement with an oral or implied transmutation agreement from 1984 through 1985. And conversely, the oral or written rebuttal before the 1987 Anti-Lucas Joint Title Presumption can overcome the transmutation requirement from 1985 through 1987, right guys?"

B: "I guess... but do we really need to know all that? That sounds like a Peterson Level of Abstraction you're getting to there."

Abstract

A form of art that allows plenty of freedom and flexibility for both the artist and audience to their own interpretation of the art's meaning and value. It is to not simply portray or replicate something of its realistic form but give insights to its value in a different dimension of thinking.

Even though everybody is looking at the same abstract painting, but each individual interprets it differently.

zero cost abstraction

A buzzword usually uttered by someone trying to sell you the idea that you should rewrite your project in Rust. It supposedly means "free" abstractions that don't come with overheads and penalties, but in reality they're anything but free.

If you hear someone use the term zero cost abstraction unironically, run as fast as you possibly can because you're cornered by a snake oil salesman.
