You’re an engineer. You care about engineering. This is fine.
They care about mathematical background and laying out definitions. Academics care about those pointless things. This is also fine. If you don’t care about these things, don’t read it.
You don’t write a system like this to say: “Here’s a system I wrote, go and use it in practice” as much as “What have we learned from trying this?” It’s the job of an engineer to synthesize useful things from the abstract knowledge.
- scottlocklin 6y ago>You’re an engineer. You failed, first sentence. You're also the second person asserting some secret knowledge of academic ding dongs who published a paper (as if this is some kind of achievement) without, you know, actually even attempting to make the case.
- aspaceman 6y agoIt was just an assumption. At the very least you think like one. And I’m not following. I’m not asserting some secret knowledge. This work is knowledge. It’s not practically useful for you. But it doesn’t have to be. And you’re the “ding dong” if you think it has to be valuable to you for someone to get something from it.
