That one executes deferred statements at end of scope, instead of on function exit. That doesn't work well if your defer-statement occurs in an if-body, for example.

I don't think it's super valuable to mimic the Go syntax anyway. In C++ you can fairly easily implement a class that works like this, which is fairly clean and intuitive:

void func() {
Deferred deferred;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
deferred.push([] { some callback });
}
// when Deferred is destroyed, it executes callbacks.
}

This is somewhat more powerful than Go's defer in that it gives the user explicit control over the scope. I think in Go you'd have to create a closure and call it immediately to create a nested scope for the purposes of executing deferred statements early.

But you need a larger medium for technical books that are filled with diagrams, or if you ever want to read a pdf.

Really you'd want a device in the shape of an A4 or US letter paper.

Phones, especially 5"+ phones, are great for reading novels. I don't see the need for a dedicated device for ebooks that can be re-flowed accurately.

If you want feature tests, add more versioned defines not fewer in this case. You can actually version each public API if you want.

Plus, inevitably you will hit a case that cannot be detected using reasonable tests (e.g. non-flaky).

> we develop the notion of representation group flow (RG flow) to characterize the propagation of signals through the network. By tuning networks to criticality, we give a practical solution to the exploding and vanishing gradient problem

I am surprised and a bit disappointed this paper does not mention mean field theory or dynamical isometry at all.

Mean field theory applies methods from physics - namely random matrix and free probability theory - to derive an exact analytical solution for information flow through a neural network.

It turns out that simply initializing the weights of a plain CNN using a delta-orthogonal kernel allows all frequency components (Fourier modes) to propagate through the network with minimal attenuation. Specifically, networks train well when their input-output Jacobians exhibit dynamical isometry, namely the property that the entire distribution of singular values is close to 1. This technique effectively solves the exploding/vanishing gradient problem.

The impact is shocking: the time to train a NN to a given accuracy becomes independent of network depth. No tricks like batch normalization, dropout, or anything else are needed. This insight has been proven for a wide range of architectures from plain FFNs to CNNs, RNNs, and even transformers.

I highly recommended reading the papers “How to Train a 10,000 Layer Neural Network” [1], and “ReZero is All You Need: Fast Convergence at Large Depth” [2].

> It's not surprising that police don't side with Democrats who vilify them for defending themselves

I honestly don't disagree with this. However, I think it's possible to believe that police are abdicating their duty instead of handling it like proper authority figures while simultaneously believing that the harsh rhetoric of some reformists isn't helping the situation.

This cuts both ways since, as your comment indicates, we always blame "Democrats" or "Republicans" instead of identifying actual problematic behavior. "Democrats" are no more to blame for this than "Republicans" with their "thin blue line" which quite obviously pits the police against some underworld of crime (or, at this point, the "radical left") instead of presenting the reality that police work for and with the community.

> Consider the killing of Walter Wallace, one of the "psychiatric incidents" you're talking about

Cases like this are a very real concern amongst police, EMS and fire in many jurisdictions. I don't think it should be swept under the rug. On the other hand, police, in particular, have vast amounts of leeway and are often not held accountable (certainly not criminally) in many cases that go the opposite direction of the one you describe. This is evident to everyone reading this, I'm sure.

There are no easy solutions but I'm tired of police departments acting entitled. Refusing to perform your job and acting like the legislature + the reform minded public is your enemy does not help anyone. Responsibility lies in police chiefs, police unions/brotherhoods, and the executive and legislative bodies of our local governments to work together.

Intelligence being shown in schools isn't random: it's a result of who can afford better education in the lower grades, education materials in pre-school, a baby sitter who can teach basic math before school begins, private school, pre school, etc. This makes perfect sense, and the smart thing to do is to implement a program below this at the younger grades to try to give the entire lower grade levels a better chance at getting that advanced learning. "Something isn't right" doesn't mean kill the whole damn program. Maybe evaluate their on-boarding process in addition.

In my elementary school, I was lucky enough to not miss the one day they were testing for advanced learning (if you missed it, tough luck: that was the only onboarding year) and it changed my school experience forever. I don't think I would be the person I am today, at all, if I had been sick that one day. If there are similar restrictions or barriers for entry that are not related to intelligence, they need to be looked into.

Well, if the IP is generated in the US, then gets transferred (sold) to a wholly owned subsidiary at a "negotiated rate" (not mark-to-market), which is then charged back to the inventing parent who no longer technically owns the IP, it's a matter of paperwork...if I understand the situation correctly from what I've read...
I think that solves some of the most severe issues.

But one problem with that plan, if I understand correctly, would be that the contentID program would not be available for music she hasn't released through youtube.

So if she releases a track to bandcamp exclusively, then a 3rd party uses that track in a video without paying a license, she still will be in the position of needing to identify that herself, and then issues a DMCA takedown request at her discretion.

But that scenario seems far more reasonable than the one Google is trying to force, where all her catalogue must be made available at all times and on their terms.

Well, yes. Ayn Rand was opposed to make-work but not to valuable, real work.

That said, it's baffling to specify that "Lying about Ayn Rand is not respectable…" as though other sorts of lies are.

Attacking Rand in general is like attacking astrology. People attack it because too many others actually believe the bullshit nonsense that it is. Of course, it's pretty dumb to attack it for the wrong reasons like in this case. There's plenty of valid reasons to dismiss Rand's nonsense without needing to mis-characterize her views.

Heads up: I run one of these schools in SF and Austin, MakerSquare.

>But if the stats that these bootcamps throw out are true, there are companies hiring people at $100k who, twelve weeks ago, had never opened a text editor in their lives.

This is a very extreme case. As part of the admissions process for most great schools, people who have never opened a text editor are shown tutorials, books, and videos to prepare for the admissions challenge. They wouldn’t be accepted until they can solve basic programming challenges. Example: (mks.io/ac1, mks.io/ac2)

There are some schools who admit “people who have never opened a text editor in their lives”. Flatiron School, MakerSquare, Hack Reactor and a few others are not those. IMHO, programs who admit very beginner students like those should be 6 mo - 1 year long.

> The run-of-the-mill web and mobile developer positions all demand at least some level of experience (generally 2-6 years)

Almost all of our graduates are hired for positions that advertised needing 2-4 years of experience.

> And if it's really possible to build a rails developer from scratch in 10 weeks, why not just just do it in-house through an internship program and avoid paying commission to these schools?

Properly vetting who would be a good student is hard (admissions), properly teaching people is hard, and creating a proper learning environment is also very hard (Most education institutions fail at one or more of the above). All of the above are certainly not core competencies of software companies, nor do they need to be.

> The "niche" in this case is the realization that strings are unlikely to be exabytes in size,...

That’s what we say now, but a few dozen years down the line? Old Mac OS versions (pre X) would store extra bits of information in the MSBs of a pointer. “32 bit clean” Mac OS had to be created to allow usage on computers with more than a few dozen megabytes. That was an all too common problem when multiple gigabytes of RAM became commonplace.

Granted, I highly doubt we’ll see exabyte level string lengths, but you never know.

Fun fact: x86-64 mandates pointers be in “canonical” form where all unused bits of the address are the same as the MSB. So on a processor that has 48 address lines, the upper 16 must match the 48th bit. If you try to access memory with a “non canonical” pointer, the processor will throw an exception. This is because they don’t want people using them for flag bits and having a repeat of the “unclean” software problem.

TL;DR: I agree, but never say never
The main reason a PHEV makes sense is for people who want do do road trips or regularly travel beyond a typical battery range.

PHEV vehicles should be designed with this in mind. Otherwise they should just be a full EV.
If you had the displeasure of coding a moderately complex J2ME app - you'd know this it's not mere apologia. While Android fragmentation is terrible (and was worse in the android 1 era), J2ME was at least 10x worse - I haven't met a single person who disagrees with the idea that Android was a massive improvement over J2ME - I noticed not even you are making that argument, you're only chiding me for bringing it up.

Sun could have fixed it by availing Java SE on mobile devices and forcing vendors to implement the same APIs in the same java.smartphone.* packages - (they already had a Java TCK!), but they were not prepared for the smartphone era, sadly. Look at the CLDC[1] classes and tell me how one could write apps that could possibly compete with the iPhone apps in 2007.

1. Sadly - but predictably, Oracle nuked java.net which had documentation on CLDC 2.x/MIDP, I managed to find CLDC 1.1 documentation, the classes are surprisingly sparse, so J2ME was probably worse than I remember. https://docs.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/ref-impl/cldc1.1/...

most of the useful apps i have on the android tvs are not ported and if they are considering it they seem to be so far down the list of priorities for the devs, they may as well say no.

Not all research needs to be new or ground breaking. multiple studies on a subject, from various different people and institutions, using various methods are good.

Sorry you feel that the propoganda is mind boggling. Interesting that you have an opposite experience, would you care to elaborate specifically on the matter. Maybe you can clarify some points.

If you ask me, Tesla is openly going to accept bitcoin and MasterCard is also starting to accept crypto, so I would say indeed it's becoming more mainstream and yes more than last week.

Bitcoin is polluting because of the way their POW works, in comparison to other coins. Its literally banging random data to the hash function until it starts with a couple of zeros. Even if you get it this energy from renewable resources these resources will still go into mining instead of going into homes or cars. I personally would go for a less energy taxing financial system, that doesn't burden the energy system as much.

Yes, we also need regulations for those carbon based power generation facilities, which is besides the matter, but that doesn't make the energy consumption of bitcoin any less, nor justifies it.

From my experience, the KYC is only something that recently started. And only on certain exchanges is this really enforced. And afaik it's not done retroactively, something that does happen with current banks. KYC didn't exist for a long time.

Furthermore, due to the difficulty/power consumption of mining people will naturally swarm into pools which will eventually grow bigger, which in turn might result into schemes that could create incentives to pump. There are no regulations in place.

On top of that you can use your money however you've acquired it to buy tons and tons of graphics cards, and mine bitcoins and convert your money.

With our current monetary system we have things in place. They are shit, and sometimes s corrupt, but at least they are there and we have something to work with.

A subpar technical solution which bitcoin at this moment is. Is not going to solve anything of this, it's a fundamental human problem, and technology is not going to solve it, and in this case I think it's going to make matter worse. Bitcoin hasn't proven to be more transparant, more open or more efficient.

How I see it is that Bitcoin represents a vision, or an ideal for many people which resonates because people don't like the system and are upset. Bitcoin hailed as a saviour while it ain't better or faster, or more transparant than the current system in power. It also doesn't stop people with loads of money now buying large sums and selling it to the 1% believing in a false prophecy.

If you see it differently let me know, how exactly. I really would love it to work.
Sure there are trade-offs but it's very difficult to quantify how much you're giving up and how much you're getting in return. A corporate developer is constantly building up the IP portfolio of his company, but how good an idea does he have of the long-term value of his contributions ? If you knew that the value to the company of your work was 10x your salary would you still want to accept the trade-off or would you start looking for other options ?
