TypeScript's syntax as it exists today wouldn't be usable. TS's type system isn't sound — a valid TS program may still have type errors. This is not a big deal for a dynamic JS VM, but in natively-compiled code it can cause crashes and security vulnerabilities. TS doesn't have syntax for value vs reference types or memory ownership/lifetimes. It relies on a garbage collector to "guess" the information missing from the syntax, but systems programming languages almost by definition do not want to do depend on this. TS's syntax for immutability is almost non-existent. There's no syntax for compile-time vs run-time evaluation distinction. You may be severely overestimating how much it would help you to know syntax of a system's programming language without knowing systems programming (very little, because syntax is the easy part).

At best TS's syntax could used as a starting point for a new syntax of a new language, not compatible with TypeScript in any useful sense, with changes and extensions for all the features that low-level programming needs. But if you kept the syntax similar to TS, then new features may end up looking bolted on and forced to use less convenient syntax, since all the most convenient syntax is already taken by TS. This is why Objective-C looks so bizarre — it tried to be a superset of C, but C features already took all the nice syntax. C++ also suffered a lot by trying to be a syntax superset of C and older versions of itself. Building on a wrong syntax as a base leads to poor defaults, confusing recycling of old keywords, and traps caused by having convenient syntax for features you're not supposed to be using any more.
They have OTs in last place, maybe CRDTs would have been next...
Some interviewers like to move the goalposts. If I encounter those, I'll go ahead and give the simplest solution and state a general idea of what its limits are. Then when the goalposts are moved on me, I can iterate on the design for the new rules.

If an interviewer cannot tell my design skills from that, then I figure that the company failed, not me.
I mean, 4Gb ram and IPS screen.

Why can't I pay more and get a flagship with everything? You pay more and get more features missing.

This is great if you are using an old SIM that still operates using IMSI on the sNode B Tower, its also bad because this is simply another overlay band-aid fix which bloats and slows your phone down, the privacy phones made by Obsidian Intelligence Group (obsidianintel.com) don't have this problem and they are also impervious to the SS7 network, I would check them out.. You can find more info on their twitter page @Obsidian_Intel as well.. I picked one up a few weeks ago and it is fantastic I couldn't be happier with it.
Same. I don't know. Sounds like the devops of algo? /s
You don’t want to be the one who read the code and certified it as good. You might become criminally liable for an attack.

What you want is to reduce your risk so if you can present evidence that Google or some other high profile has done the due diligence then that will be good enough to indemnify you.

Must regular developers don’t have time to read the code anyway. You need to use the slipstream of other companies to protect you.
Statistical nihilism and culture-war island hopping
> the majority are people without any safety net

I mean this is essentially true by definition, but it doesn't conflict with mental illness or substance abuse problems being factors as well.

I don't disagree with your point though. We could do much better as a society. There should always be some bare minimum safe and secure housing available, even if it's basic.

Non-paywalled: https://archive.ph/mly0y

This is off-topic, but why doesn't a bot exist for this yet? Paywalled content seems to be becoming increasingly common and sophisticated so it's surprising to me that no one on HN has made a bot which automatically comments the archive.ph link for any post linking to a known paywalled site.
Great stuff! I can see a lot of potential with this. I think most of the information you provide for each area are very useful. Love the focus on zipcodes - much better than a city as a whole.

Couple comments: Some of the data/charts are hard to understand right off the bat. I'm not sure it will be clear to everyone what certain scores mean to them. I think it might be useful to take a look at how https://nomadlist.com/ does it.

This is probably obvious to you, but it would be nice to have more tangible and qualitative data for each area. School ranks, violent incidents, etc. are important, but there's so much more that goes into making these decisions! I'm not sure how you'll get this qualitative data unless user-generated, but I think it's critical.

Depth (not just breadth) is very important. E.g. I think people are more likely to use a "here's a complete look at X city" than a "here's a brief look at EVERY city!"

Love what you're doing. Who is your ideal demographic right now? Young families?
Foreign intelligence services would now probably want to go through and see if anything was overlooked. As long as they've been donating enough money, they can be in the building.
An interesting experiment would be to re-implement the iAPX432 with the same resources as today's high end processors (caches, branch prediction, out of order execution, etc). A simulation would be good enough to run some benchmarks (though the old Ada compilers might be worth improving a bit as well).

My guess is that the performance would be very close to an ARM or x86 with the same silicon area.
What discrimination did he face? Surely you aren't arguing that his book—which, crucially, did ultimately sell and get published—being initially rejected by a couple of publishers constitutes "discrimination."

Books, as I said, are a business. When you write a manuscript, chances are that it will be rejected by at least a few publishers before someone decides it fits their business goals. That's not discrimination, it's how the world works. I haven't seen any data showing that the percentage of new releases by white men is somehow less than the percentage of white men in the country. What I have seen is a lot of anecdotal complaining by people who are no longer benefiting from the obsolete modes of discrimination that they formerly rode to success.
As others have commented, it's hard to draw conclusions from such a biased sample set. To truly determine causation we would need to run a double blind experiment.
I mean it makes sense. Memory safety >> Human Safety.

Lately Ive been going the other way as an interviewer. I try to get the candidate to deeply explain their system design; starting point, requirements, conflicting priorities, compromises, etc. Alternatively we can pivot slightly to solving the same class of problem with my system.

I can almost always find a relevant overlap between my background and theirs, which helps. And (I think) its beneficial for them to talk about their experience and existing decision making as opposed to hypotheticals. As a bonus you can also gauge the ability to communicate complex or nuanced ideas in a succinct manner.
Yeah I bet you are real fun at parties. You are the type who will go around defending billionaires because they spent their money building tech you like. You are not a temporarily embarrassed billionaire and success isn't purely the result of individual agency.
> The article gives up on its clickbait headline almost immediately

I find often it’s not the content of the article that’s relevant. It’s generally not as there’s a lot of trash out there. But they do raise good discussion topic that lead to active conversation. I find that is the real value for me personally.
Animation at Its Most Pretentious
This has been my experience as well. These interviews should be open-ended with no right answer as long as you can reasonably support your design and discuss its tradeoffs. Unfortunately, many interviewers have a set solution / structure / technology already in mind.
Ok so I should have said in sensible societies because IMEI changing does cause real issues like lack of 911 (in this case), however the 3gpp spec that governs all networks and devices, like your phone, prohibits IMEI changing -its not an innocuous operation as people assume

Edit: the FCC isn't specific about it but I'd imagine it falls under existing fraud regulations which may or may not be a federal thing.

A cursory Google suggests:

A bill was introduced in the United States by Senator Chuck Schumer in 2012 that would have made the changing of an IMEI illegal, but the bill was not enacted.

So in the USA specifically it is not a crime but in many places it is due to the aforementioned life at risk issue.

As devices are made for global .markets in general, the above does not apply anyway as you cannot change it without manufacturer tools anyway, at which point different regulation applies.

IMEI changes also have limited effect when fingerprinting is relatively easy.
Not a doctor, so I might be stating the obvious to anyone who is, but couldn't this explain why exercise seems to make people feel more energetic? If a buildup of pollutants in the brain can make you feel fatigued, then better cardiovascular fitness and healthy kidneys would help clear these pollutants out more effectively, right? It isn't that you have more energy, it's just that being healthier is helping clear the things that make you mentally fatigued.

I guess you could also turn this on its head for people with chronic fatigue by looking at their cardiovascular and kidney function.
A short technical answer is the beacon chain network wouldn't function properly if it had too many nodes (unless other parameters were also changed undesirably), so the number is limited.

32ETH was calculated to be approximately the sweet spot, optimising various parameters.

When this decision was made, back in 2018, it cost very much less than it does now.

There are secondary mechanisms for staking with less (RocketPool) but in these, below a certain threshold you don't participate in the beacon chain directly. Instead your stake is combined with others to allow someone to run a beacon chain node on your behalf collectively, with the rewards shared back to you, and a small cut taken off. The cut is why the graph changes below 32ETH.
Twitter mothballed it’s because it didn’t catch on like TikTok did.
That's a trick called equivalent input sampling. Basically shifts the sample clock a little bit around while looking at the same waveform. The catch is it only works on repetitive waves, and you are still limited by the analog frontend's rise time.

The fastest scope I know of is a 256 GSPS done by interleaved ADC's. Analog bandwidth is 100 GHz Here's a recent submission on the bad boy:

I wonder if this has any implications on the "ego depletion" model, which has had a checkered history in reproducibility:

> no need to deal with conversion

There is still a need to deal with conversion, but it happens on Amazon servers. Which is convenient, but gives no control over the results (and someone mentioned in another comment that it doesn't even preserve the cover image).

The Kindle itself does not natively support ePub. MOBI is being retired to favour AZW3, and Microsoft is moving to ePub.
This will probably change with the 1099k requirement dropping to $600 nationwide. Or it'll further overwhelm the IRS.
I love the map function, it makes it simple to see not only your zip code of interest but the surrounding areas too!
I would like to see more detail on the axes, especially as someone who doesn't come from a real estate background or isn't familiar with how school rankings work etc., maybe even a blurb that introduces the graphic and why this data is important to me.
I'm looking forward to the compare zipcodes feature, that will be really useful deciding between cities or neighborhoods. Overall I think this is a great idea for people moving to a new city and have no idea which neighborhood to choose.
My wife and I are in our mid-30’s and have a young child. Both of those transitions have led to the depreciation of some old friendships and the blossoming of new ones. Life is too full to be social to the same extent as when we were younger, but the friendships we have now (though fewer) are stronger in some important ways and more diverse in age, ethnic background, etc and so on.

I would say add that we tend to hang with people that engage in active hobbies and probably consume somewhat less media than average. But maybe I’m just reasoning backwards there…

Aside: if you happen to live in Minneapolis - I’d be happy to buy you a coffee sometime.
As labor costs go up, automation becomes more attractive. If you have to pay for 2 humans at $25/hr, that's 1200 a day and 450k a year.

Technology is a sector classification, but for any other company in other sectors, they likely have a business unit called Technology, with a c-suite position called chief technology officer, with developers who hold computer science degrees (just like at Google! No wai?! Yes wai!)

And finally, Netflix is a tech company with a film studio, but Disney is a film studio with a technology application, and I can’t meaningfully disambiguate why someone who works on Netflix code is in technology and a Disney+ developer is not.

Can (maybe) see how SF and Seattle would make a list “on paper” for being highly walkable - recently saw sf mentioned on a (nytimes?) list of best biking cities. But compared to what, Los Ángeles?
My personal opinion doesn’t track remotely close with either of those places being great to walk (longer distances for physical transport).
Im not familiar with what metrics they’re looking at so as mentioned it could make sense on paper. Can’t comment on the northeastern cities mentioned.
I’ve personally found Mexico City to be easier to navigate on foot/train than other west coast cities in North America (la to Vancouver bc)
I wouldn't at all agree that most Dall-E output is great out of the box. It has areas that it's good at and areas it's poor at.

Here's a result for the prompt of "Woman with green skin, leaves instead of hair, wearing a simple dress, far shot, digital art, hyper-realistic, 8k, ultrahd," for example (all four images)

https://imgur.com/a/f4d8N0u

You will note that none of them are even basically fulfilling the prompt, as well as all four being, in my estimation, ugly and uninteresting. That's not unusual for prompts that involve some element of the fantastic -- though there are corners of less-realistic digital art that it does do well.
Mind-Warping Photos Turn Subjects into 2-D Paintings (2014)
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but it seems like you are arguing for a fairly hard-line stance of: Facebook shouldn't be allowed to censor or take down any content, and all decisions to do this should be pushed down to individual users or group moderators.

This is certainly unworkable given the level of bots, spam, etc. that would be untenable for a volunteer moderator on a Facebook group, or an individual user, to deal with.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you and your point is more subtle: the government should have some rules around what Facebook can and cannot censor. Then I don't disagree with you in principle, I think we would have to get into specific proposals and weigh their pros and cons.

A blunt approach of "free speech, no censorship" isn't a convincing argument, but given the scale of impact that site-wide or nation-wide moderation decisions have on Facebook, I could be convinced that government oversight in certain cases makes sense.
If signals were only used for onMouseMove and such things, this wouldn't be big deal.

It's when you start to have to use signals thousands of times per event that it becomes a problem.

Signals for raw user events won't make a difference, but signals as the main mechanism of API interfacing is a problem.

I would say it's a serious problem.

I avoid using signals in general.
I have forgotten what that was like, which I think is a clever evolutionary self-deception to make having more kids palatable :-)

Ask HN: How do iOS apps know you're logged into other apps?
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm a two year old:

How is it, when I sign into Facebook app on iOS, that when I later install Messenger it knows who I am?

Similarly, install Gmail, and later GMaps knows it's me.

Is this "cookies" at an app level? Cross-app cookies?

How does it even work?

What else can they see between apps?

Are you actually arguing that DM is the only conceivable theory that can possibly explain those observations? Be serious. This obsession with DM when it's been clearly falsified numerous times is restricting imagination and attention on novel approaches.
Discord is picking up steam, and doesn't seem to be relying on advertising. They're also way more explicit about making communities rather than friend networks.
This is bullshit. A pharmacy fills prescriptions signed by a doctor. Now we expect them to audit prescriptions too, and apply some unspecified rules about when a person is abusing drugs?

My mom had to go to a pain clinic for Oxy for RA. There were a mess of people in there getting prescriptions that I'm pretty sure were on Medicaid. The federal govt has pointed the finger at everyone about their role in the opioid crisis, but I haven't seen them point the finger to the role of Medicaid, who also knew (or should have known) that there were too many prescriptions being written.
Rather than continue replying to individuals, my final thoughts:

The responses here seem short-sighted.

A company is openly increasing pressure on staff to force people to leave.

This does not protect or benefit you, despite what you may think about how great things will be once your idiotic, lazy co-workers amicably depart with zero collateral impact.

This is aggressively targeted at you. Not today's you (or so you believe) but tomorrow's you.

Just because you imagine you'll benefit from this shifting of boundaries, doesn't mean you'll continue to benefit next time it happens.

And for the variations on the theme "so you think everyone should be allowed to slack off", nope, and I didn't say that.

Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky depicts a human interstellar civilization thousands of years in the future, in which superluminal travel is impossible (for the humans), so travelers use hibernation to pass the decades while their ships travel between star systems. Merchants often revisit systems after a century or two, so see great changes in each visit.

The merchants repeatedly find that once smart dust (tiny swarms of nanomachines) are developed, governments inevitably use them for ubiquitous surveillance, which inevitably causes societal collapse. <https://blog.regehr.org/archives/255>

Early versions of Word ran in a custom interpreter Microsoft wrote. Think like Java or WASM bytecode. To debug this properly would require writing a special version of that interpreter with debugging features built-in.

Debugging an interpreted program by debugging the emulator it's inside of is a special kind of hell. Even moreso if you don't have debugging symbols for that emulator either. Instead of "step to next instruction", it's "step to next bytecode fetch, step through the interpreter's jump table, step through the implementation of that instruction, figure out what it is, repeat". Each one of those is multiple machine code instructions and you will lose track of things very quickly.
