Am I missing something in the paper, or is iVGAN actually just a vanilla Wasserstein GAN? Is the contribution of the paper “we tried GAN on video and it worked”? That’s still a useful result, but what justifies the new iVGAN name? Perhaps t

I'd agree, and even in Python, we end up talking about how some variables store "memory addresses," to explain the sometimes confusing behavior of variables bound to mutable objects. What's less essential is understandin

For our first semester, we use a modified version of "How to Design Programs": http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ Highly recommended for teaching! I do teach pointers, but in stages — so

Agreed! It's a question of how you introduce them to these ideas. One option is to start at the bottom (hardware) and go up, so that pointers feel like a welcome abstraction when students encounter them in C. (They will already be used

Meh. Learn any language and “the rest will come” if you then learn other languages. Some of these points don’t lead to C’s being a better first language or pedagogical language — like, why should a learner care that C is so fast? I teach HS

I feel like people who "strongly support organized labor" don't write like this about organized labor ("infiltration and union formation"?). Its _workforce_ is not "vulnerable to attack" from big labor, it

Did you look at the actual research, or just this author's summary? I was also skeptical after reading this summary, but I found the presentation in the linked video to be far from trivial.

Thanks! Happy to :-) Here's the code for this assignment, as well as the pollen.rkt and HTML template/CSS files. (Disclaimer: this was written as code to get something done, not for others to see, so it's not always pretty!)

I'm a CS teacher and use Pollen to write my assignments (sample: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9DAZWpkQIDuUlA4SU5lcHItRDg... ). It allows me to type assignments as fast as I can think them, in a specialize

They largely went up in two waves, in the 1890s and the 1960s, as explicit symbols of white supremacy. They were not erected shortly after the war to commemorate soldiers. They falsely evoke a time right after the war when Southerners held

Images are also considered "fixed size data" in the textbook. I think this is for pedagogical reasons, the sort of simplifying-lie-that-is-cleared-up-later that is common in science education. In the first section, students are en

Neat! Is there one correct solution for each proof, or is there something more complex going on behind the scenes?

You're making a lot of assumptions for someone who hasn't seen that Slack conversation.

Recent graduates are encouraged to mention involvement in student organizations when applying to jobs; leadership roles in those organizations might speak well of a candidate. People might also put this information on a résumé because they

What about a tool that allows you to find and start a chat with someone currently reading a differently biased account of the same (or similar) events? I can't count the number of times this election that I wished I could discuss a Tim
