> How does this work then? We can represent these sets of cardinality infinities of infinities in our brain and on paper, but representing these sets with all the available bits in the universe is not possible. This seems like a paradox, because our brains and paper are part of the universe.

The "paradox" arises because you're using the word "represents" in two different meanings.

For example, the number TREE(3) is extremely big (to put it mildly.) If you haven't heard of it you can search Youtube, there's a few Numberphile videos on it that are wonderful.

Anyway, TREE(3) is extremely big but finite. I can explain exactly what TREE(3) is. You can understand what it is. I can therefore "represent" it, and you can have an exact picture of your head of how to write a computer program that calculates it.

It is, of course, much too big to "represent" it by writing down all its digits in base 10. There's not enough bits in the Universe.

But these are two different senses of the word "represent".

In a similar way, I can "represent" sets of infinites very easily, in the sense that I can explain to you what they are and how they behave. I mean, every schoolchild knows about a set that's infinite - just the regular old counting numbers. The set of counting numbers if infinite - there is no way to actually write down all of these numbers, within our universe.

But I can still explain to you what that set is, and how it behaves. Everyone understands that the behavior of it is that you can keep pulling out more numbers from it. That's all that "representing" it is in this context.

Yeah, that was surprising to me too. You always discover something you would have never thought of on your own. It's what makes profiling such an enjoyable task for me!
If you’ve already got a couple of million then you’d be on about $80k - $180k a year before you get out of bed anyway, so I doubt job stability matters much to you at that point anyway.
Right - and if you asked the new guy if they will actually run at 2:40 minutes - and he answered, the answered would be - no way.

Project is still badly managed. This was in early 2021:

“It is beyond comprehension that as of this day, more than two thousand and six hundred calendar days after (official approval to start construction) that the authority has not obtained all of the right of way … ” wrote Tutor Perini Vice President of Operations Ghassan Ariqat to Garth Fernandez, the contracting chief at the state rail authority.

And that has only continued. They literally are asking Tutor to build on land they don't own, utility relocations have been going on for YEARS.

And the costs to now tunnel back to the coasts (long tunnels near seismic fault lines!). I don't think any plan is credible on that front. The rights of way as you get closer to SF and LA are going to be BRUTAL to get.
I haven't bought an app in the store in at least 3 years. I installed maybe 4-5 new free apps over that period, all for smart home devices that need an app to activate / install and receive notifications.

I used to go to the store a few times a week to check for top games and see if something tickles my fancy, but I haven't done it in 5+ years now, it's mostly all junk / IAP sinks.
That's true to an extent. Many important optimizations will be performed by the JIT compiler, but only as long as the programmer doesn't make it hard to do so! The JIT compiler has to meet a strict compromise to meet between itr execution time and the performance of the code it generates. Type inference (to optimize object accesses), escape analysis (to move allocations from heap to the stack and to optimize away closures), and other expensive interprocedural analyses are often not executed since the user might navigate to another website before they have paid off.

I think of the album “Thought for Food” by The Books. There is a sample saying “aleatoric” and plenty of demonstration. Here’s the 9.0 Pitchfork review:

Yes. Signal should have taken your last sentence to heart and not implemented contact discovery. The feature actually compromises privacy even when used as intended, because anyone can see whether anyone else uses Signal (and, if you check regularly, when they started using it, which can be revealing). The fact that the feature requires sending your entire contact list to Signal's servers (using a broken encryption mechanism) is just another reason not to do it. To add insult on top of injury, Signal doesn't even notify the user it's uploading their contact list, instead using an actively misleading description when it asks for contacts permission ("See contact names and photos in your chats").
What I've wished for, as a free tier user with a few hobby/semi-professional sites that don't have high demands, is a consolidated plan (not billed per site) at a cheaper rate that provides some features (and expanded limits, such as page rules) in the Pro plan.

For me, the jump from $0 to $20 a month (which is becoming $25 soon) is huge! And this is a per-site charge! I don't spend that much on all my websites combined. At the same time, I'd prefer to pay for services that I value, and I like some of the innovative/different services from Cloudflare.

Perhaps once Cloudflare finds the business market to be saturated, it will focus on hobby players and tiny professional sites with better plans for that segment. Even community support may be enough for this segment. [1]

[1]: People who pay very less generally tend to complain more (than the ones who are paying a lot more) because of mismatched expectations and/or a sense of entitlement. Handling or weeding out this segment can be tricky.
Of course there’s lots of ways a compiled program could still be incorrect. But in my experience (having spent years with both languages) the practical per-line error rate of rust code I write is many times lower than my per-line error rate in javascript. (And typescript is somewhere in the middle for me).

Yes, you still need tests. But testing is never perfect. Bugs still slip through. I like not needing to be as paranoid in rust as I am in other languages.

Why is the discoverability in these stores so poor? Outside of top 10 in a category its miserable. Can't we allow richer interfaces? I'd love to subscribe to a blocklist that just took out all the junk apps, then incorporate verified reviews from active users on my generation and one prior generation device etc etc. No device able to review more than 10 apps and hardware link/lock reviews.

Well, my comment was highly abbreviated for the sake of pithiness, but US ratification of the treaty would be more meaningful than the US simply not employing landmines itself. (NB While I place all the blame on senators for not ratifying it, technically no US president has signed it, so the Senate hasn't actually had the opportunity to ratify, but Senate leaders have made their opposition clear for decades so they definitely deserve the blame I'm pointing in their direction.)

Furthermore, landmines haven't actually been a weapon that the US military has considered tactically useful in nearly 50 years, so saying that we won'ist use them (because they're not useful to us), but not pressuring other countries which may find them useful despite their horrific downsides, isn't exactly upstanding. And, the article title on HN is misleading, because this isn't just about landmines, it's about unexploded ordnance (UXO) more generally. The US, in addition to not signing the Mine Ban Convention, refuses to sign/ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions, and has significant quantities of cluster munitions in the inventory, with an alarmingly high failure rate (meaning the munition doesn't detonate when it is supposed to, leaving dangerous UXO that only becomes more dangerous over time). So, yes, there's nuance, but honestly not enough to let US leaders off the hook for these horrors.

Apps are the lifeblood of a smartphone. Everyone who buys an iPhone knows they’ll be spending money on apps too, and the 30%, or 15%, or free or whatever is hardly a secret to those that care about it.
I opened the App Store today and it had its list of "Top Apps of 2022". To my shock, Microsoft Teams was at, or near, the top. Yes - Microsoft Teams (which makes me input my login / password twice, can't let me pair program by dual sharing screens, and can't let me tag Japanese people) is a "top app". It was actually rated higher than Tiktok, which seems completely at odds with reality.

I remember when I used to look for apps actively, but it seems like the last time I really did that was when I had an iPhone 4S.

I mainly used node's `--cpu-prof` flag to generate a profile. Tried loading the trace into Chrome DevTools at first, but wasn't able to load the file supposedly because they are too big. So I used https://www.speedscope.app/ instead and which loaded them without any issues and is very snappy overall. What's more is that it allows you to display a left-heavy flamegraph which makes it much easier to spot functions taking up a lot of time. Speedscope is an amazing tool!

For webpack based projects the traces were missing quite a bit of data and I had more luck with their own profiling plugin: https://webpack.js.org/plugins/profiling-plugin/

The sooner the app store model is broken down for ios devices - the better. People should be able to decide what to run on their devices (and unlike consoles phones are not sold at a loss) and it will also solve the discoverability problem.
That's useful.

Yeah, several directors have been associated with the project in the past. It spans decades now.

One of the directors from a past incarnation, Vincenzo Natali, directed much of The Peripheral series. He's done a good job with that show, and I think he gets Neuromancer better than most. Maybe it'll be him.
This is clearly linked to one of the four existential givens "meaning and meaninglessness.

Carl Jung said, man needs to find meaning to continue his journey around the world, therefore, without this meaning, he is lost in no man’s land and wandering the labyrinth of existence.

I too felt this great cloud hanging over me in my early 30's, I am now nearly 70.

I left school with no formal qualifications, worked in the building trade and constantly asked myself "Is this all there is". For me, I found that while I was stuck in this place of no return, the boredom, the depression and an overwhelming sense of just giving up on life I found my way. It is in this place that you need to trust your organic self to find your way.

I came to realise that everything I had previously done in my life has been programming by society, family and a raft of other institutions. Ultimately none of this I actaully chose to be my life.

So I changed my life to do things that I wanted. I gorged on books and went back to college and university, qualified as a psychotherapists and spent the next 30 years loving life.

Taking responsibility, another existentialist requirement. Namely taking responsibility for your current life situation. As Sartre said, "The individual still retains the agency over their own existence and they are still free to make the choice"

At 30 years old your brain has only been fully developed for about 5 years, Now is the time to reconstruct the life you choose.

> This is the $150/200 mark btw, not FAANG.

This is still wild to me.

I’m well into my career (coming close to 25 years):

— I do well when looking for work in that I interview well and get most gigs I go for.

- I trade stability for higher rates working shorter gigs without any of the usual safety net / benefits.

- Comp is top end of the range offered in a relatively well off part of the world.

And yet with all that said, $200k is still an utter pipe dream.

I’m not saying I’m necessarily jealous (I’m sure there’s the downsides I don’t see) but man-oh-man that’s a lot of money.

I’m almost reluctant to ask but what is FAANG comp typically?
I learned them the hard way by designing reflow typography layouts in the late 90s and early 00's, mixed with interactive elements; and later thinking out whole sites with layouts that weren't reliant on a particular DOM or browser. It's a bit stunning to me that Google taught any of these principles at any point beyond eliminating all the art. Which to me was the beautiful part of the early web.

I have literally no idea what people are learning now in academies before being set loose to do front-end work, but obviously it's mediated through so many libraries that they haven't had much time to consider what's going on behind low-level user interactions and load sequences.

Declared in a fixed order if you want functions to remain monomorphic! One case where using classes is a bit safer than object literals.
> All US landmines now self-destruct in two days or less, in most cases four hours.

Supremely commendable, but it does seem remarkably short windows.
I do wonder what troops on the ground, in 'busy', and highly stategic defensive positions, feel about having to re-lay the same mines every two days, let alone four hours: surely the enemy could take severe advantage?
I spend most of my day as a volunteer for a youth group.

I have been working here for the past 14 years, and hope to be lifer.

Practically, there are many reasons that this may stop - I don't get paid and may need more working hours elsewhere, they may suggest I retire (am already a grandfather), etc.

I also have been programming part time for longer than that and hope that continues as well.

I recommend that anyone who could, to take on a do-good project and consider it your main occupation [even if it only gets an hour a day], and then go lifer on that.
When you live outside the USA? Some content you cannot get for any amount of money due to syndication deals, and providers like HBO have spotty availability.

I already pay for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV+, but their content libraries are smaller outside the US by some margin.

I pirate HBO and other services since there is no legal pathway to stream it where I live, and I’m not forking out to get it from whichever shitty local service bought the rights.

Happy to pay once they actually offer it worldwide as a first party option!
> in JS, a type must NOT be a union of multiple types if you want it to optimize)

Does that mean that tagged unions (functional programming-style data types) are inherently slow in JavaScript? Maybe there is a way for the TypeScript compiler to pass pragmas (via comments in generated code) to the interpreter.
that's cool, but it's not the same as like being a teenager at the dawn of the internet boom where you and a bunch of your irl friends all have shell boxes and you judge people based on their choice of os, configuration thereof and what cool or uncool stuff they're hosting.

also hosting is cheap and easy now and participating in internet mail seems like a terrible headache.
There's a case for Apple taking a cut on app sales themselves. There's a lot less of a case for them taking such a giant cut of sales within the apps.

Obviously they can, but in my opinion it's an absurdly high cut.

In a way, I'm glad that Apple is moving in this direction at this point. Let things get even worse, let Apple be called out widely and let Apple realize how much its cultivated brand value (even with missteps on other fronts) is eroding. Some or most of it may turn out to be irreversible. Apple has fired executives for far less (like Scott Forstall). This needs entire departments to be shutdown.

The desire and the solution are quite simple: Apple wants to increase revenues from services, so provide better quality paid services instead of looking at nooks and crannies to pick up a few (mega) pennies here and there.

Apple may be under the false impression that the competition is far behind and that its loyal user base has nowhere else to go. Sometimes these things turn the other way quite quickly. Considering the regulatory scrutiny and pressure in other areas, Apple would be better off not antagonizing its user base with the "let's put ads everywhere and collect more information from our users" initiative.

He may have said that about Don Quijote, but it may well have been just another humorous comment by him. He was known for his dry humor and deadpan delivery. He was extremely learned, no doubt about it, but the reader has to keep in mind that about half of the elaborate citations and detailed references he uses in his writings were simply his fabrications, his way to play with the reader's ability to make out reality from fiction.
