Intellectual swear words for people who want to use the words they have memorized immediately "Are you managing your vocabulary in a stack?"

From the book “Intelligent Abuse Book” (written by Mi Horimoto, published by Kobunsha) released on December 22, 2021, we will deliver an excerpt of intellectual abuse that can be used from today. Why don't you use it when you feel frustrated or confused and turn your desire to diss into education?

I immediately used the words I remembered Intellectual curse for people

A "stack" is, as the name suggests, a stack.

When I was a college student majoring in computer science, I was forced to buy a thick book called "Algorithms and Data Structures" as a required textbook. It is actually a book of 4500 yen and 486 pages. When I saw the thickness of it, I thought, "It's not the Bible." However, after this, I will reflect on my tsukkomi. This book was the Bible. When asked, "What is the essence of the computer world?" there are two answers. It's all about algorithms and data structures. Algorithms are "how do we compute?" and data structures are "how do we record?" After all, there are only two things we want from a computer. The work that the computer is doing is a repetition of calculation and recording, nothing more and nothing less. That's why you could say that algorithms and data structures are what computer science is all about. And this book, Algorithms and Data Structures, as you can see from the title, has it all. This is the bible in computer science. I'm sorry, that might be too much for Sasuga. But in any case, it's a great book. I wasn't a particularly hard-working college student, but I was still fascinated by the charm of this book, and it taught me how fun computer science can be. I used to think that specialized books were something I read out of necessity, but I read all of them because this one was just plain interesting. Before and after, such an experience is only once in a lifetime. Thinking about algorithms and data structures was like killing two birds with one stone. So, I would like to share this fun with you. When asked what the most basic data structures are, the two that come to mind are "stacks" and "queues." A "stack" is, as the name suggests, a stack. I want you to imagine the plates in your cupboard. When you put away the plates, you will put them on top, and when you use them, you will take them from the top. In other words, it is a data structure that "uses the first thing put in last". A "queue", on the other hand, is a queue. I want you to image the line of the ramen shop. The next person to enter the store is the first person in line. In other words, it is a data structure that "first put in, first use". These two should be used properly according to the situation, but when using a computer to solve a problem, it is the stack that must be mastered. Under the hood, a computer resembles an insanely busy venture company. There is always a large amount of work coming in, and everyone is panicking and doing their job somehow. Imagine working in this not-so-pleasant workplace. You are in the business of writing accounting documents. I am doing my best to write the documents that must be processed by the closing date one month later. But here comes an urgent order from your boss. "I have to check the contract for tomorrow!

Usage example "Isn't that confirmation bias?" "Are you managing your vocabulary with a stack?"

Last update: I love books.
