They don't mention it here, but I think they might on a different post? Rivers are going to show up more in a monospace font (which your link points out), so that would make sense. With modern fonts it makes sense to be putting the spaces in after a sentence stops for readability though. Microsoft word allows for manipulating spacing anywhere there are still rivers.
The main use of computers in school should be teaching typing, word processing (and it probably should be with Word), number crunching and mathematics, and perhaps a little bit of graphics processing.
I agree that Excel should be taught, but also something like Mathematica (or some other CAS, rather than forcing TI calculators on kids). Python, perhaps through Jupyter Notebooks, would also probably be good too.
Honestly, for adults too, pen and paper is often a better solution. Word processing and number crunching are the main use cases for a computer and I think kids should learn these things with a computer, but it would be so much better if they had direct instruction in a computer lab rather than giving them all a distracting laptop/chromebook.
Huh, I'm skeptical, but if a low-fat ice cream substitute really can be just as creamy as real ice cream then I guess I'm OK with people liking it. I'd love to try it one day, but I have such a good ice cream machine already and no need for a creami that I'll have to wait until someone I know gets one.
That seems strange that the fat isn't contributing anything. The creamy mouthfeel is one of the reasons ice cream is so much better than "frozen dairy desert" or lots of frozen yogurts.
Also, does the creami only make things a soft-serve texture? Slightly harder ice cream is where it's at, in my opinion.
You do realize that the article that these comments are for is suggesting that maybe ice cream as it is now reduces the risk of diabetes. Maybe we shouldn't be claiming that low-X ice cream is healthier, haha.
How long does this take to freeze a room temperature ice cream batter?
I wouldn't be surprised if lower sugar ice cream is more effective (if there is a real, meaningful ice cream effect), but I think there is a lot more than just sugar leading to diabetes, and I don't think it's clear exactly how sugar is leading to diabetes. Is it because it's causing visceral fat? Is it directly causing gut dysbiosis?
Haha, I can explain (2): they are a nutrition scientist!
In all seriousness, they precede that quote by saying: "it’s got fat, it’s got protein, it’s got vitamins." So I think it's the comparative lack of these things in bread that he is concerned with.
