This is a very important distinction to make, however issues with this style of teaching (training rather than deep education) are difficult to see in subjects other than mathematics. At a high school level, I doubt any subjects really buil

Many people in society value practicality. Why should I do something if it doesn't directly benefit me in the physical sense? How will this make me more likable/valuable/wealthy? Theoretical studies like mathematics serve no

I think it's likely this is not because of the prison as much as it is the laws which determine what crimes are punishable by prison sentences, and the people who enforce and judge on those laws.

He stated he owns a Windows 8 laptop already, which is very revealing. I'd also say his interest in Windows over OSX makes him much less of a bandwagon-rider (though it could be the pricetag as well).

I can't imagine suicidal teens would be any more likely to admit to suicidal thoughts on a survey with their name on it than they would a counselor/parent/teacher/etc.

As someone who still continues to love his 3GS, I have to agree for the most part . Some apps have me considering whether the developers know they run/load that slowly, or whether it's because of my device. For the most part it is very res

Typography doesn't address /what/ should be written but rather /how/ it should be presented to make what was written as readable as possible. I think this hints at what you're saying, though the author's presentation style may imply that

I think it's an easy thing to get used to, especially if the parentheses are a bit thicker. They're just a more slender character than a curly brace, so they don't appear to take up as much space as the others even in a monospaced font.

I don't think these types of examples are created to be practical, but more to just demonstrate what's possible/to experiment. Plus, it's probably fun. But I agree, an SVG implementation really would be something!
