Except you would never get to use this method, because it will take years for all browser vendors to implement it, and even then, you still have a number of users that use for a reason or another Internet Explorer.

You need to use a transpiler (like Typescript), but at this point, there no reason to implement that in the language, a transpiler can implement the feature by simply adding the method to the prototype of the object, like this:

Array.prototype.at = function (i) { return i < 0 ? this[this.length + i] : this[i] }

At the Oregon Institute of Technology we start with three terms of C++ for Software Engineering and code all four years in several languages. We might not go as deep into the theory, but we can safely use a pointer and understand what the NullPointerException actually is in managed languages. By the time we graduate we have worked on a lot of code and two large projects, one of which is with a team of other students.
Porsche sports also spend a ton of time racing, at various levels, which I'd imagine back permeates into the corporate culture and increases reliability.

> It can be done from India, China, Pakistan, or any other place where they have smart people

Software engineers in these countries are significantly less competent than their American counterparts. This has been documented by academic literature.[1] That still doesn't mean that there aren't great engineers in Pakistan, but what makes you think you have the ability to recruit, interview, hire and retain the top decile of engineer in Pakistan?

Are you able to discriminate between a great Pakistani engineer's resume looks compared to an average one? Do you have a network of contacts in Pakistan to make recommendations? Will you be able to speak Urdu when you check their references? Does your company have any reputation or prestige in Pakistan? Why would a highly in-demand Pakistani engineer be interested in working for a company without any career progression, who's only outsourcing work because it's cheap?

It's not like this is the first time in history that companies have realized they can offshore programmers to low-cost markets. It's literally been a constant theme in IT management circles for fifty years. It's not like they needed WFH to make it happen. It really doesn't cost much to open an office in Bangalore. Cassandras have been predicting the collapse of the American software market for decades, yet engineer compensation just keeps growing. If anything the economics are far less compelling than they were 20 years ago, since the wage differential is much smaller. If offshoring didn't work in 1995, there's no reason to expect it to work in 2021.

At least it's not the Amazon store. That place is scary, not to mention derelict. My Kindle Fire probably needs a pi-hole in front of it to make sure it's not hitting anything other than the Kindle APIs...
I do find it supremely frustrating to have these discussions because it seems like most times people on the other side of the argument simply question reality. It's like having an engineering discussion where you allow for 1+1 to equal 3 or more in some cases, and every time you have to add 1 and 1 you have to provide proof from a conservative website that shows that it does in fact equal 2 or else the other person just cries "fake news" and "what about..." or "mainstream media". It's almost like a targeted misinformation and propaganda campaign convinced half the US that facts aren't facts and that you can question anything for which there is a lot of evidence because, well, isn't it suspicious that there is so much evidence for it? "The truth is out there, you just have to find it" is my favorite: yes the FBI/NSA/CIA are clueless but anyone with a Facebook account can figure out some kind of grand conspiracy that's afoot...
One thing that I don't really like with positive discrimination is that you don't really know if and when it's going to end. I would be more confortable with it if the goal was clear from the start, and the discrimination was then automatically deduced from this.

Another point is that when a group of people call for more diversity, which would be attained by employing more people from this group, I tend to see tribalism more than diversity. Of course in a way it's fine, it's the basis of human behavior, but it still feels weird to me.
One really surprising thing: if you want the Camry hybrid with the best mileage, you have to get the low-end model (no rims, most options not available). It has a different type of battery than the higher trim levels, and it gets 6-7 more MPG. I was shocked that this was the case in 2020, and strangely it is still the case in 2021. None of the dealers I spoke with could explain why this happened, or why it persisted across model years.

You'd think that people would be willing to pay more for better mileage (and no, it's not due to weight differences of the premium equipment). I know my relative who was looking at hybrid Camrys would have been happy to pay more to have both the best MPG and various other features. Instead, they got the cheap model and added the blind spot monitors and called it a day.
I'd say that should only be fraud if you lied to get access, I don't agree with interpretations that allow any random AUP to create new felonies.

Don't get me wrong, I understand how that can be straightforwardly interpreted as "unauthorized access." I'm advocating for what the law should be, in my view. The idea is to make a bright line that gives a test for mens rea to avoid over-criminalization while not being too unreasonable. I'm sure there could be scenarios I haven't thought of that would turn out poorly.

"Diversity" is also subjective and bias. You think anyone cares that my family are immigrants lol? No, because they're from south Italy and not a few hundred miles further south. You think anyone cares that I was ruthlessly bullied for my sexuality in school? Nope because I now (perhaps stupidly) have chosen to identify myself as "straight". You think anyone cares about the fact I'm an INTP or have high functioning autism? Nope, because people who care about "diversity" don't tend to care much about what's on the inside.

Embracing diversity isn't something I have much of a problem with, it's the way diversity it's defined which suggests attributes like race and gender are the defining characteristics of an individual that I have the problem with.

I agree that bias is a problem when hiring, but I also think we go too far when we as a society suggest the primary reason for Asian over-represented in tech is racism, and then actively discriminate against Asians in hiring. I'd argue this line of reasoning is deeply flawed and immoral for numerous reasons.
Right, yeah. There's just so many unknowns when it comes to "how profitable are App Stores" that any conversation about it is seriously pointless. Like, I don't even want to guess; I refuse to believe that iOS is more profitable than Android, because I'm not even sure if that's the right question.

All the data we have on global/domestic smartphone shipments, active users, monthly actives, daily actives, dollars spent, ruples spent, per app category, minus games, fiscal/calendar quarterly, it all comes from these dodgy "Global Insights" app consulting firms. You head to Google and search "App Store Quarterly Revenue" and you find a different Statista or BusinessOfApps or whatever site each quarter, all their data just linear extrapolations from active pings from trackers they pay apps to install which are increasingly getting blocked by OS security controls. Google and Apple almost never share explicit data (this Epic trial has been a nice departure from that, to be fair); if they share anything, its an overtly generalized market segment like "Services", which of course they're using to inflate the apparent revenue of bad business divisions they want to look good by combining them with the actually good divisions (same reason why Microsoft put Azure in the same shareholder-reported category as Office early on; of course, nowadays, its amazing on its own).

And then, re-read that last paragraph and realize I said "Google & Apple" and you didn't even blink. Sure, Google & Apple, that's who we're talking about. No; we're talking about Android & iOS. Android; that operating system that has unlocked computing for the entire world, including vast swaths of people who can barely afford plumbing and electricity, that's side-loaded and hacked to the ends of the earth, that's startlingly popular and preloaded with hardware-specific storefronts in countries that, traditionally, don't like sharing data with the west.

Sure, "your" app was more profitable per-install on iOS than Android. An excellent, informative experiment. The assertion is that iOS has "special sauce" that makes consumers money-drunk, and they spend more. Did we control for income disparity? Surprise; No. Did we aggregate a broad swath of consumer application categories, including (especially) gaming, as gaming is by-far the largest source of consumer application spending, globally? Surprise; No.

How's this sound: People spend a shit-ton of money in apps. This fact, alone, is reason enough that letting a single company gatekeep the experience for any significant number of people is unacceptable. Justifying Apple's monopoly by saying they're better at making consumers money-drunk is psychotic.
> The odd thing is that even a randomly stupid AI for self driving is statistically safer than most drivers. Under sunny highway conditions? Perhaps. In a night snowstorm? Probably yes - because the AI would be at the side of the road waiting for the human to drive.

I think self driving is a typical 80/20 problem. We won't have "full" self driving because the costs are exponential for each step closer to it. But driving on 80% of roads on 80% of days, with supervision? That could happen.

But that said: we won't accept AI that just makes traffic safer "on average". I'm fine with human shortcomings causing accidents. People will not accept car manufacturers cutting corners and causing accidents, even if statistically it's safer. So the very high bar for self driving isn't just "as safe as humans".
> Is silicon cheap enough etc.

No, it is not. You can always trade off performance for reliability by repeating your computations several times, preferably with some variation in the distribution/timing of work to avoid the same potential hardware failure pattern.

I went down the rabbit hole reading about the incident when that happened, pretty interesting.

He didn't just rescue the shipwrecked kids and move on, he was treated as a hero in Tonga, the king of Tonga asked him what we wanted as a reward and he asked for fishing rights in an area he had been denied before and it was granted, he lived in Tonga for 30 years after that.

He was involved in a second shipwreck rescue of a yacht named the Sospan Fach. The member of his crew that spotted the second shipwreck was Sione Filipe Totau. Sione was one of the boys rescued from the first shipwreck.
Nice concept! But what's stopping people from being a-holes and leaving shitty notes?
I'm not disclosing anything new. Google's official SRE book, research publications, and conference presentations describe the systems I mentioned in more detail.
Quite the opposite. Functional style is especially useful in larger codebases. However, I think a functional strongly typed language is often easier to get right than a weakly typed one. I mostly write F# and Clojure and based on my experience I would go for F# any day over Clojure but at the same time I would also go for Clojure over Java as well.

I do not know where your views are coming from, sounds like 2nd hand experience rather than 1st one.
“That's what advanced education is, learning something because an expert tells you to.”

Many share this conception but it’s not a very useful model I would argue.
Yes, there are real systems out there working off of the techniques we used back then. I didn't work much in theory at all.
Is there a world in which the vast majority of dev work isn't brutally monotonous? Most work's writing unremarkable code for unremarkable products containing unremarkable features that have already been implemented 1,000 times before, and likely even more than once before for the person doing the work. A ton of dev time, at least for people who aren't the much-derided solo-language-experts (e.g. The C# + Windows programmer, the Java programmer, who only do those kinds of jobs and don't even dabble in much else) is just wrangling the unfamiliar-brokenness of a tool & library ecosystem (it would be familiar-brokenness 5 years in and take up little of your time, for most non-trendy platforms, but you're either using a trendy one that changes way too much, or will be on a different language + ecosystem entirely before you hit 5 years on this one).

Very little dev effort is working on anything cool, and very little of the code for cool projects isn't kinda boring and normal.
Dealer service centers may be hit or miss, but I've had way more misses with non-dealer repair shops. A recent one I went to ended up being more than the quoted price from the dealer.

Having said that, I recently took my Acura (Honda) to a local service station because the timing belt was quoted at near $2k and I got it done for ~$900 at a local service station. New water pump and another belt were included (as they would have been at the dealer).

What really frustrated me was the messages I was getting from the dealer. When should the timing belt be replaced? First it was 90k miles, then it was 60k miles, and because I was below both it was after 7 years (it's been 10). The other thing, for my model, some sources said "if it breaks, your engine will be damaged" but the dealer wouldn't tell me either way. I even contact Acura USA and they wouldn't contradict the dealer. Whole thing left me wanting a Toyota/Lexis.
I haven't looked in more detail, but one blocker is that `ProtoMethods() *methods` returns a private type, making it effectively unimplementable outside this package.
Cool. Ironically, not open-source. +1 on wanting Ruby.
Yeah, that's what happened with drugs. The price of drugs actually dropped to zero and it's now impossible to get LSD.
Curious if this will result in extraterritorial enforcement. For example, it's clear Moscow is either unwilling or unable to prosecute cyber criminals within its border.
Tesla is not using any radar/lidar systems for FSD/autopilot (anymore), it's all visual. It might be that there are completely different systems for recognizing obstacles and what is shown on the map, but this still raises the question why and why one of those systems seem to act like this.
I'm surprised to see this so heavily upvoted here on HN.

I'd argue you just haven't explored enough around its possibilities. I just read this today.

I think we're just beginning to get to the good stuff.
Well, you could still arbitrage expenses. In SF a highly paid developer is paying $4-5K a month on rent and another $1-2K on food - the same developer living in India would probably be paying 1/10th of that sum for the same expenses. Plus taxes and such. I'm not sure what the delta really comes out to though.

I would have to agree with that. Excessive greed is bad optics.
You're being overly argumentative, hence the "Heh".

For example, you said "If I was going to argue against using Lena, I'd say things about the context of the image"

Then summarily dismissed a quote about the context of the image. It's funny.

I agree with a lot of that, but there's a difference between something being art and something being worthy of support.

If you buy into the idea that art is about creating reactions, then the reaction that you're going for is very important. In fact, maybe it's the main way you judge whether the artwork or is good or not. From that perspective, you can consider a Confederate statue art but unworthy art.

> The officer's actions were unauthorized on a system he was provided access to.

Er, no, that's specifically not the case. The officer's actions on the system in fact were authorized; he was authorized to look up licence plate information. The officer's actions later - specifically sharing private information with a third party - were criminal[0], and would be criminal regardless of whether a computer was even involved.

0: Give or take legislative and judicial corruption a al misrepresenting theft as 'civil forfeiture', but that's not really the point.
Yeah, opening it up and seeing 30%+ gains in a day does give me a sort of high.

> Feel free to call me cynical, but do low level employees want systems like this?

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this – I previously founded an always-on video presence startup[1]. We were building for our own problem as founders, as is often the advice you get given! – However I think this is a case where founders are actually unique and what works for a group of 2-3 founding folks really does not scale well to a broader team at all. This is also what we saw with our product, it worked well for small tight-knit groups but rarely did teams above 10 adopt in a meaningful way.

This seems like hyperbole.

Bitcoin is easier than hard cash to track. There's no need to make it illegal. I suppose you could argue that government is heavy handed enough to simply ban the mechanism by which ransomware payments are so easily conducted by. My intuition is that government would prefer to regulate it rather than outright ban it.

I have multiple friends at AWS and they work 35 hour weeks, around the same as me. With that said I’ve noticed very fast promo cycles in nearly all Tier 1 service supporting teams, both AWS and CDO.
Yeah, cases like this are a bit harder. Part of the idea is how important the lie is to gaining access. It is difficult to distinguish a relatively harmless lie like this, or claiming to have actually read the 1,000,000 page AUP, to someone impersonating another.
So if they come in with full intent to water the plants and walk off with your things, and do so, they'll be charged with "breaking and entering"? That really shouldn't be a valid charge. It should be pure larceny.

That's one possible reading. Another is that the US will start working on their own Great Firewall, such that your packets need to be cleared by a metaphorical digital TSA to enter the country.
> that's what happened with drugs

Drugs are renowned as a special case when it comes to states' enforcement power. Currency control is not.

Outside failed states, capital controls and foreign currency restrictions have been historically well enforced and followed.

The U.S. banning cryptocurrencies, sanctioning connected individuals and firms and committing to leveling repeated 51% attacks would functionally destroy most cryptocurrencies. (There is zero indication this is being contemplated.)
That's really only because elastic was opensource, benefited greatly from that, and then changed their mind when it was no longer convinent.

I assume you are not making it open source if you are considering patenting it. Much of the complications of the elastic search case wouldn't arise in the proprietary software case.
