By practical, I mean from the point of view of the
behavior/functionality that is being claimed. And it is not
the same as theory, and it is not all math. Computers do
stuff, and different computers are capable of doing different
things, because no matter what our dreams of cross-computer
theory are, different machines have different resources.
Monochrome screens can't show color. My ancient flip phone
could not play angry birds. There was not enough RAM or screen
space. There are practical differences that theory just can't
account for.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Computer science is a mathematical discipline. Theory IS practice.
There is no
difference.
As a software engineer I disagree that
"Theory IS practice".
Not all practice uses of computer science in
software engineering are necessarily part of the theories of computer science.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

<sarcasm>Ah. That explains why so
many ivory tower types are so very good at designing and writing code that works
well in a production environment. :-)</sarcasm>---
