Presumably you are a European citizen and not just working EU time?

It's always difficult to know exactly what's going on when people make these posts. Normally my red flags are people either not getting interviews or occasionally getting interviews but failing at the first stage.

If you're getting interviews and feel you're doing fairly well in them then honestly it sounds like you're just getting unlucky.

The job market for developers is really difficult right now. There's a lot of talent out there and there's very few companies hiring. I'm based in the UK so it's a slightly different market, but for some perspective a senior developer role we advertised for recently got over 200 applications and that was hybrid...

Remote is always more challenging because there's always far more people applying. My guess is that you're one of perhaps 500 people applying to some of these roles. Therefore the fact you're still getting interviews and making it to the final stages is probably a really good reflection on your ability if anything.

Also two months really isn't very long... From application to offer it's going to take about a month on average. The quickest I've ever gone from looking for work to an offer was probably a couple of weeks, and that was during hiring peaks. If you assume that you're competing against a few hundred applicants per role then you'll probably going need to apply for at least 30-50 roles before you have a realistic chance of getting anything... It's just going to take time unfortunately given this market.

From what you've said here, I think you'll be fine. It sounds like you're getting quite close to an offer and have just been a bit unlucky so far. Most people who have written these posts recently are struggling to even get interviews.

Anyway best of luck. I know how demotivating it can be to receive rejection after rejection. It's good to reflect on what you might be doing wrong, but I would be hesitant to take rejections too personally in a market like this.

> Are you saying that Nvidia couldn't make more powerful hardware for a high end console?

Hard to say. It tooks Qualcomm years make something that was superior to standard ARM designs. GPU is of course another matter.

> I'm certain Nvidia would have no trouble doing a high end console,

The last mobile/consumer CPU (based on their own core) that they have released came out in 2015 and they have been using off the shelf ARM core designs for their embedded and server stuff. Wouldn't they be effectively be starting from scratch?

I'm sure they could achieve that in a few years but do you think it would take them significantly less time that it did Apple or Qualcomm?

> Nvidia is incapable of building something higher end

I think it depends more on what Nintendo is willing to pay, I doubt they really want a "high-end" chip.
I don't think that's a limitation of the specification. You can create spans and emit events for those spans without holding objects in memory.

Those "smart people" write blackboxes in esoteric languages that only the same person maintains.

Everyone else has to write wrappers to interact with that blackbox. God forbid someone daring to even change the code, because it basically doesn't even need/use junit tests. Eventually the smart person gets bored and moves to something else, that tool then gets rewritten to Java in two days by someone else.

I recently started learning Swift and Swift UI and was surprised at how complicated the language is. Especially regarding reactive instance variables. eg. @observableObject. Didn't understand it. There are like five different ways to do it. Ended up playing whack a mole until it worked.
It's pretty much the most important thing for for-profit social media companies, yes.
Honestly struggling to comprehend how this one isn't neutral.

As far as we know this was a supply-chain attack specifically on military pagers actively used by Hezbollah, and (right now) it looks like most injured are in fact Hezbollah members (which makes sense, since no one else has any reason to carry such a pager). (With some sad and unfortunate exceptions.)

Israelis rioted for the right of prison guards to anally gang rape abductees held without trial to the point of hospitalization. They gave one of the rapists (the one caught on CCTV) national attention and praise.

You're trying to defend the indefensible, after 11 months of daily atrocity. Not a good choice.
$20B is by far less than Google or Microsoft make a year in revenue. It's nothing compared to the amount of enemies surrounding Israel, a country that is literally desert with no natural resources.
Pagers just simply have an address (called a Cap Code) to receive messages. It's like a mailbox number. A pager can be programmed with usually up to 4 Cap Codes at a time.

If I was speculating on what happened, I would bet that the pager had 3 Cap Code addresses programmed, the mailbox cap code the owner of the pager expected to have for receiving messages, a cap code that was the same programmed in all the pagers to that functioned normally to received messages, and then the 3rd cap code programmed in all the pagers that when receiving a specific message triggered the explosive.

The folks responsible simply sent a message to the 2nd cap code to get all the pagers to go off, presumably to get the targets to get the pagers out and look at them, and then immediately the trigger message next to the 3rd cap code to detonate the explosive.
It’s often just the boilerplate. As a Java dev people often end up ignoring it and changing everything to “throws Exception” to avoid having to list 4 exception types all over a call stack.

Or they catch and wrap everything in some CustomSysException type so they only have to list one type and it’s not Exception, but then that’s really the same thing isn’t it?

I think it’s kind of a combination of not dealing with things and throwing them up the stack combined with too many exception types and maybe using exceptions when a result type would just be easier.
The problem with LLMs is not a data problem. LLMs are stupid even on data they just generated.

One recent catastrophic failure I found: Ask an LLM to generate 10 pieces of data. Then in a second input, ask it to select (say) only numbers 1, 3, and 5 from the list. The LLM will probably return results numbered 1, 3, and 5, but chances are at least one of them will actually copy the data from a different number.

Wikipedia says in 2022 there were 4.4 million software developers in the USA. H1bs are ~85,000 added per year. Say over the last 20 years, every h1b slot was filled (by software developers), they never left the USA, and remained on h1b without becoming permanent residents or citizens. That would be 1.7 million H1b software developers currently working.

In reality a large amount become permanent residents or leave. However, FAANG and FAANG-adjacent are probably only around 1 million employees (not including Amazon's non-AWS workforce, but including non-USA employees). Still, FAANG+ are unlikely to be typically anywhere near 80%+ active H1b visa employees. Maybe AWS is a standout exception.

Now, how many software developers in FAANG+ are not born in the USA might be a very different story.

I think they would have to here, to support native modules. Jython (and I believe IronPython, but don't quote me) does not support native CPython modules. CPython modules explicitly control the GIL, so if they are supported (as they are here), you can't really leave the GIL out without exposing potential thread safety issues.
> I think it depends more on what Nintendo is willing to pay, I doubt they really want a "high-end" chip.

In this thread, we were talking about what Sony and Microsoft would want for successors to the PS5 and XSX, not Nintendo. Nintendo was just a convenient demonstration that Nvidia is clearly willing to partner with console makers like Sony and Microsoft.

> Hard to say. It tooks Qualcomm years make something that was superior to standard ARM designs.

> The last mobile CPU

I wasn't talking about Nvidia custom designing an ARM core, although they have done that in the past, and again, this wouldn't be mobile hardware. Nvidia is using very powerful ARM cores in their Grace CPU today. They have plenty of experience with the off-the-shelf ARM cores, which are very likely good enough for modern consoles.
Why would anyone care whether their TV literally has quantum dots in it? It matters how bright it is, how wide its gamut, how accurate the colour reproduction, how much power it consumes, how long it lasts, etc., and maybe all those tend to be different for panels with quantum dots in them, but it's those things that matter, not what technology is inside.

(I don't mean it doesn't matter whether they're lying. They shouldn't lie, and if they're lying that's bad. But this just seems such a weird thing for anyone to care about at all.)
Swift would be perfect if it wasn't dying a death by 1000 cuts thanks to the inherent conflict in its governance.

Swift is caught between two clans: the Swift Working Group™ open-source community, and the Apple corporate entity who pays most of their salaries. Both have their own incentives and their own imperfections, but you guess who has the majority influence.

Ridiculous, permanent, tech debt such as hardcoded compiler exceptions are permanently living in the compiler codebase. Even worse, half-baked concepts such as result builders are pushed through without any real discussion because Apple wants the SwiftUI syntax to look pretty.

It's an amazing language still, but I can't see it surviving as nicely in the next 10 years if Apple doesn't learn to let go.
The expected collateral damage here seems severe even for Israel. It makes me wonder if there was a coding error where a subset of the devices were supposed to explode but they all did by mistake…
Ask HN: Graphics/sound intensive iPadOS application dev?
I have a personal project I'd like to pick back up again. It's a music composition environment, which is defined by UX: a multi-touch-gestural, game-like interface, controlling precisely-timed audio events.

It's similar in mechanics and demands to a isometric game, that can scroll in any direction, with hundreds of elements and a good bit of eye-candy.

My problem (and blocker) has been that while I've built prototypes, including in iOS for iPad using Core libraries,

the performance requirements mean I really need to go "down" a layer (or two). Not use frameworks made for conventional UX.

And I haven't had the time/energy to learn e.g. OpenGS or Vulcan or... or for that matter Unity or Unreal.

But! With AI copilots to help, maybe I do have time?

So—if I want to build from scratch, are there any game/app engines I should be looking at?

Or should I focus on Swift/ObjC (as I did last time), but, leverage new frameworks I don't know about?

I'm _hoping_ it is feasible for a solitary dev to take on a project which requires very performant graphics, multitouch gestures, and (especially) tightly-scheduled audio events...

...if I pick the right tools. Both for heavy graphic/audio lifting...

...and as an AI-powered copilot.

(I was looking at the question of, "can I use Cursor.ai to help with Swift/ObjC development for iPadOS, and if so how do to integrate this with xcode... but that seems like a lot of scaffolding, that is in active flight, that would take time away from the actual project.)

If I'm not asking the right question or thinking about this the right way, all ears. :)

I suspect "cross-platform" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for your claim. Browser engines and application frameworks built on top of them have no trouble using platform-specific APIs under the hood.
You seem to think that the IRS doing that just for a laugh, or just because they hate rich people, and that Big Tech companies are the only ones playing shell games with their revenue in order to shirk paying their fair share to support the society they've benefitted from.

I think it much more likely that rich people also play shell games with their assets / revenue to avoid paying their fair share to support the society they've benefitted from, and that the IRS requires the extra reporting to try to counteract that.

This article is specifically about a specific loophole invented by unethical accountants and lawyers, but it's also generally about all the effort spent by unethical accountants and lawyers to come up with such loopholes, causing not only harm to society (in the form of free-riding on those who are paying taxes), but which in turn forces effort on the part of tax agencies and legislatures, which then forces effort on normal people like me who just want to make some money and pay our fair share. It's pure wasted energy.

The complexity in the tax code is why we end up with things like AMT (Alternative Minimum TAx) and the 15% minimum corporate tax. There are so many carved-out special interest exceptions that it's almost impossible to unravel, like the carried interest tax credit for hedge fund management fees.

I think we've reached the point where we need revenue apportinment of profit. That means if 50% of your revenue comes from the US, then (at least) 50% of your profit is taxable in the US.

It's worth noting that there are various schemes for multinationals to avoid taking profits in the US. One of the most common is transfer pricing. Example: Company A sells sofas to US consumers for $1000. It buys them from subsidiary B (in Bermuda) for $900. Subsidiary B buys the sofas from Subsidiary C in China for $300 each. So $600 in profit is moved to a 0% tax haven like Bermuda. That's transfer pricing and it's illegal.

The Double Irish Sandwich is an example of profit shifting. What's the difference between profit shifting and transfer pricing? Profit shifting is legal. Transfer pricing isn't. That's functionally the difference.

So an argument against revenue appointment of profit is you can use similar schemes to hide profits but you really can't. For one, companies need to report profits to shareholders so the IRS has that data point. For another, the IRS can and does go after companies to figure out beneficial ownership and whether transactions really are at arm's length or not.

For anyone saying they can benefit from this by buying shares in $BIG_TECH$, I promise you that you would benefit more from that company paying taxes to fund the roads, bridges and schools that you would from your 100 shares going up by an extra 1%.

This is an interesting approach to making stacked operations more readable, similar to the "thread-as" macro in Clojure [1], which would make the example look like:

(as-> (sine 6 50) zz
(add zz 440)
(sine zz 0.5))

Of course, with this example in Clojure one could use "thread-first":

(-> (sine 6 50)
(add 440)
(sine 0.5))

It wasn't a very short stick. You had savings, family and friends to depend on. It's privileged to assume everyone has access to these three things, or that lack of access to them is their fault.

Making more and more of foundation available (a big part of 6) should also help a lot. Fewer external dependencies needed, and fewer per-platform libraries if you support multiple platforms.

I'm going to post this as a top-level comment since there's too many people I want to respond to.

There's a lot of important discussion when this sort of topic comes up. I agree that this might be a slippery slope if applied incorrectly, but that isn't a good reason not to conduct the research. I also don't ever see anyone applying that slippery slope argument to, say, blindness research.

Anyway, what's more important to me is that there's always suggestions that autism isn't something that needs to be cured, because all we need is for society to be more accepting of us, and we'll be okay.

That's really only part of the picture. Autism affects every moment of our lives, not just when we're interacting with society. How will society being more accepting stop my sensory overload issues? Or help my executive disfunction, so I can properly take care of myself? How will it help our difficulties connecting with people, even when those people are already accepting and patient with us?

I have to wonder where people who suggest these things fall on the spectrum, to think that the problems living with autism are so limited.
How Can You Tell If Soil Is Healthy? Just Listen to It
Most of the layouts I've built on macOS are actually simpler than their iOS counterparts because the mode of interaction is so different. Getting data onto the screen in a somewhat natural way is usually less of a contorted process because one doesn't need to deal with a software keyboard, a narrow viewport, lots of scrolling, etc.

The problem with SwiftUI on macOS in my opinion is that it's just not well-suited to the types of layouts common on desktop and especially macOS. It's best at uniform grids and lists which is more of a mobile thing. On macOS you want things like visually balanced whitespace, optical centering of labels+controls in forms, etc which are often rather arbitrary and exactly the thing that SwiftUI is worst at.
