@QuentinMann I wasnt trying to critisize your choice in links or journalism, it was made more as a general statement.
Sadely personally I dont think there are very many decent journalists left.

@thj I think that has less to do with how early you present it and more to do with how it was presented. As a kid I was never shown a thing and simply told it was so (if I was I rejected it).
What I was taught is why the math is the way it is, how to derrive it, use it, how to understand it, at a young age. I'd say this is the only way to learn it in a way that is valuable. Just memorizing formulas isnt going to help anyone and will give overconfidence however.
@freemo
So true!
And also, there are so many mathematical 'tools' one should know how to use in Engineering field.
@thj I'm not the first one to see the connection, I just had good teachers. But thank you.
@shibaprasad Agreed
@thj Oh am I? Thanks
@namark :)
Never forget your coordinate fields and unit circle. Probably one of the most important things to know as an engineer.

@inverness01 Ahh well in that case I agree, they are usually harmless if used appropriately
@freemo Good morning, hope the code writing goes well.
No snooping at cartoons while you are at it, lol.
I used to tel my students I was going to put a 3 or 4 foot high banner at the front of class, over blackboard. One word.
F O C U S.
Used to call and mention it as the 'F'word. they always had chuckles, by association with the other, bad F word.
@inverness01 yes peopel get offended when it isnt called for, I agree. But I still maintain some words are worthy of being offended by, others are not.
@inverness01 Words are sometimes offensive, sometimes not. Depends on intent. Nothing wrong with being offended by words within reason.
Ya know I'm really suprised Canonical JSON isnt a more widely accepted standard. I know for my uses it seems kinda important. Looks like I will need to write a python library to implement it.
@inverness01 Fair and i can understand that
@licho Fair i guess context changes it a lot. Calling a female waitress "honey buns" strikes me as a bit rude for example.
@inverness01 I mostly agree in principle. I think the issue isnt so much the words but how they are used.
I've always said its more about intent.
And on a happy note, HAPPY SUNDAY everyone! I'm back having got tired of Twitter. :)
