Theoretician in a sentence as a noun

He hated to program, and was a theoretician.

Beware that it's very much a theoretician's viewpoint.

Great, we have our first theoretician. Now we do need some sort of organizational structure for advocacy.

I'd wager it's from explainer to theoretician to mechanic. It'd be interesting to see some research in this area.

I could absolutely be mistaken - I am more a practitioner than theoretician.

Reporters make a big deal of having no idea what he's saying; that speaks poorly both of the reporter and the theoretician. It'll be news when he polishes his thoughts and explains them to someone who is willing to try to understand.

A brilliant theoretician will then say, "I have a great idea! Let's reward cleverness and productivity by giving clever, productive people more money!"

And if you're not going to ask me about those times when making those improvements is important, then you're not asking questions for a programmer -- you're asking them for a theoretician who can recall syntax. It's poor practice, and I've seen it everywhere.

The theoretician in me says of course I should parse and validate all incoming data as close to the point where it comes into my server-side code as possible, so everything internal is clean. This fits nicely with the whole static typing thing.

> I won't pretend to be a master political theoretician, but This is kinda like when someone starts a sentence, "I don't want to be an *******, but" or "I'm not a racist, but" or "I don't want to interrupt, but". Please don't pretend to be a political theorist.

Stallman, as essentially a theoretician, is not the right person to acknowledge those things. The real world gets messy, growing a movement involves marshaling conflicting people, it involves Politics.

As a physics teaching assistant in grad school, I was assigned to the freshman lab course, taught by a theoretician. The course was practically dominated by error bars, which were incredibly poorly explained, and taught in an almost doctrinaire way.

The commenter is an 'engineer' and you're a 'theoretician'. As a fellow 'engineer', I completely understand his exasperation with all this pointing to either nice theoretical results or the large scale end products of the theory.

The author of the new version was the Austrian theoretician Erwin Schrodinger, working in Zrich. He was 38 years old, a generation older then than Heisenberg and Dirac, with a formidable reputation in Europe as a brilliant polymath.

I defy you to find me any economic theoretician who believes int he notion of a 'lump of labor'. Even labor unions, traditionally the holdouts on this issue, have abandoned this position in recent years and accepted the importance of consumption as a factor of demand.

I'm not overly familiar with this story, but it is easy to recast as a fight between the empiricist and the theoretician. To the empiricist, a man shows up with statistics showing a correlation, maybe even causality, and that's all you need. To the theoretician, if the man with the statistics says it's due to little green men that live in his head, the numbers aren't enough.

For better or worse, I think this rapid evolution does lend some weight to claims that Haskell isn't ready for use on most mainstream projects yet and to the idea that it's more of an academic's or theoretician's language, even if a few such people happen to work in industrial software development rather than in research now." To an extent, but I'm not sure I accept the dichotomy.

A theoretician operating without any input from the practical world is a theoretician wasting his or her time, producing theories that will ultimately not even be of academic interest." I'm sorry, but many many theories that have become helpful for practical purposes were created by someone 100s of years before who didn't have any "practical consideratinos".

The optimistic type theoretician says that since dependent products are sums then it's perfectly fine to use a product to emulate a sum... except since the dependence in the projections isn't reflected in the type system it's totally up to the programmer to ensure that the providence is maintained.

In fact I'd go so far as to say that one of the several major problems facing the University system as a whole right now is this whole idea that theoreticians across all disciplines can somehow be fully severed from all practical considerations, as a result of too many people mindlessly chanting that Universities aren't vocational programs. A theoretician operating without any input from the practical world is a theoretician wasting his or her time, producing theories that will ultimately not even be of academic interest.
