Thank you for the feedback. C++ isn't a language that makes data binding implementation easy, but C++20 introduces some useful features that could be leveraged for this purpose.
> The answer is that the Raylib DLL is implicitly pulled in by game.dll, but unloading game.dll does not unload the implicitly pulled in Raylib DLL

Was about to comment on this one, this only applies on Windows. So far as my experimentation with Hot Reloading with Odin on Linux went though, on linux that would work differently. It seemed as though there was some kind of reference counter on shared objects, so if your main exe didn't use raylib, it would also get yeeted when you unload the game and all of the state would reset.

So if you really want to make this work on both windows and linux, you'd insert

@require import "vendor:raylib"
_ :: raylib

In the main program and iirc you don't have to do anything else. Actually it was like a year ago the last time I did this, I don't remember what the issue was haha. Pretty sure I ran into a bug with GLFW thread locals but yea. no idea.
>I think interviewing is just so broken it gives a false impression of quality issues in the labor pool.

I've been in a team where hiring requirements have emerged through the filter of HR almost unrecognisable. Naturally, they're still objective requirements, so qualified candidates are filtered out before ever meeting someone who could judge if they're qualified. It gets noticed, but nothing happens. Of course it doesn't: you're stepping on important toes.

That's how it tends to work. Candidates are filtered out by non-technical staff, including openly using programs that filter out CVs missing keywords. In smaller companies, this even gets farmed out to third-party recruiters that have poorly aligned incentives.

How can we know if candidates are qualified? We never see most of them.

It's hard to imagine many things worse for productivity than bad hiring processes. But it's all just accepted.

Do you drug test? Sounds like a place that might. A fairly significant proportion (though definitely not all) of the best developers I've ever worked with would simply pass over places that seem like they would.

For one of my friends, metformin was the key for finally losing weight. It got their insulin resistance under control, which had been causing them to crave food constantly throughout the day, way more than someone with normal insulin sensitivity. They never realized most people are not constantly hungry and thought people who were thinner just had way better impulse control or something, and that giving into that craving was some kind of personal failure of willpower, etc etc. When in reality it would've taken drastically more willpower for them to try to eat the same amount of calories a day that I do, because of this underlying biological situation.

The thing that gets me about all this, though, is how long it took for them to find a doctor that recognized what they needed in order to lose weight was treatment for the insulin sensitivity, rather than admonishments to "eat less." There must be so many other people with a treatable condition being written off in the same way.

Yes no problem to imagine or process numbers, how big they might be.

I just don’t see how that makes a practical sense in the context of the article. Doing a full "scan" of a tiny biological material to study it, ok. Doing a full scan of "our body" as MrMcCall describe (and reject it)? I don’t think it’s possible in a near future.

> I think vast majority of Americans not going on to higher education is because system is so screwed up due to debt and unlimited student visas.

For undergrad, I understand the frustration, although student visas have almost nothing to do with it. As an example, when I was in my undergrad (for engineering), there was only one foreign student in my engineering classes. Almost all the foreign students were at the MS/PhD level. The number of foreign students in the undergrad population was easily under 5%, if not under 1%.

Probably true in most no-name state schools.

> Debt means most Americans go "I need to enter into the job market so I can pay off these debts".

An MS is only 2 years, and you should go only if it's fully paid for (quite often the case in engineering). And you typically don't accrue interest on undergrad debts for those 2 years - so it's only delaying paying off debts by 2 years.

No - most Americans don't do MS in engineering, simply because they don't want to and don't value it.

> Also, alot of foreign students are willing to work/study insane hours because visa hanging over their head. I have a friend who got MS in Engineering but didn't want to continue because he looked at what's required and started talking with his mentor about his PhD. His mentor said it's 996 schedule and if you don't want to, I can likely find a student visa student who will.

Entirely dependent on the advisor, although I do suspect your anecdote is becoming more common. Also, likely more common at top tier universities and less so in no name state universities.

Interesting. Anyone have an opinion on how this compares to using Kotlin for similar tasks?
Accepting that premise for a moment, why would the land around Bay Area offices scale any better for Americans than for H1Bs? If the opportunities simply go to Americans, you have exactly the same geometry problem. If the Americans who refill those roles do so at higher wages, the supply-and-demand imbalance gets even worse.
Wait the low range of that link is £45k but you say work study placement people get $75k a year?
> I've never met an American with an undergrad who is underperforming compared to their foreign MS counterparts.

Outside of SW, not many engineering jobs have a mix of undergrads and MS folks doing the same work, so your sample is extremely biased.

> I have met some people from India who were surprised at how difficult college was when they came to the US compared to back in India.

And I've met the opposite. Ask folks who went to the top IITs.
Meh. FT has a history of hating industries that do things in the real world.
Just like 'beauty being in the eye of the beholder'; judging a comment to be 'overly negative', is a subjective measurement. Some people consider any criticism (even the constructive kind) to be overly negative. Others have a very high tolerance to brutal language.

Anytime you post your thoughts online; whether it be a post to your own blog or a comment within a forum like HN; you open yourself up to potential criticism. This is especially true if your comment expresses an opinion about a controversial social or political issue. The anonymous nature of many forums can allow the most vile people to spew forth their linguistic venom.

Anytime I receive negative feedback online or IRL; I try to understand the motivation behind the person giving it. Some people are innately negative and respond critically to almost everything they hear or read. But even if I think the person is being unfair; I often try to see if I can glean something helpful out of their feedback.

If they are just trying to tear you down and diminish your ideas; just do your best to ignore them and move on.
They talked about manufacturing satellites, some of this aerospace stuff is in Alabama because a senator back in the 60s got some space contracts for the Huntsville area - good luck finding people who want to move to AL. Not saying that the poster is necessarily in AL, but if they are then that could be a reason they're not finding people.

Okay. Please post your full name, physical address, telephone number(s), employer, spouse and childrens' names, ages and birth dates.

If it's not a negative, you should have no problem doing so, right?
This is the simplest way to improve the H1-B system!

AutoMQ: A Cloud-Native Kafka Alternative with 95% Cost Savings over Confluent
Apache Kafka is critical for real-time streaming, but its costs, especially with Confluent, can be prohibitive.

AutoMQ offers a fresh take: a cloud-native Kafka implementation that reduces costs by rethinking traditional architectures.

Preconditions for Comparison

Peak Throughput: 0.1 GB/s

Average Throughput: 0.01 GB/s

Monthly Data Transfer: 25,920 GB

Storage Volume: 2,592 GB

Architecture: Multi-AZ (AWS)

Data Retention: 3 Days

Key Cost Differences:

Confluent Total: $17,369/month

AutoMQ Total: $718/month (95.8% less)
How?

Stateless Brokers: No shared-nothing overhead.

Shared Storage: Amazon S3 eliminates cross-AZ replication costs.

Elastic Scaling: Decouples compute and storage for efficiency.

Core Benefits:
Massive cost savings: Compute (-94.7%), Network (-99%), Storage (-78.3%).

Simpler operations with cloud-native scaling.

Retains Kafka's core performance without heavy infrastructure.

For anyone working with Kafka: Is this a sustainable solution for cost reduction?

Would you consider migrating to a cloud-native Kafka setup like AutoMQ?

I think one was named Glassfish but it's been a while...
There were >100000 layoffs at tech companies in the last 4 years because companies “overhired”. The government is finally taking action to address a “labor shortage” in this sector, because these same companies cannot find anyone to hire?

Well everything you've written suggest to me that you're clever, or maybe that shouldn't be the word, but somewhere between smart and wise.

And a lot of people aren't that.
That’s how it feels to me. Calling out people over incorrect words is easier than working on issues but still feels good.
I have been using Cursor, but I am a vim user at heart. What is the best plugin I can use that gives us the power of AI coding, but for vim? Every time I look, the plugins seem to be far behind Cursor.
You are forgetting the dimension called "time" Mr. Angry But Dense.
Precisely. That is incorrect because the purpose of "an" is to make the first part of a word easier to say, and "historical" and "history" start in exactly the same way.

You're only doing it because you've heard other people do it and you think there's some special rule for it. Maybe subconsciously even.

And don't say "you can't say something is wrong in language because prescriptivism Vs descriptivism etc."

Yes generally it is the case that language is defined by how it is used. This is an exception, where something has a very very clear purpose and usage, and you're doing it wrong.

I actually can't think of any clearer cases where the prescriptivists are right. It would have to be something so obvious you don't even think about it, like using spaces between words. Yet for some reason everyone messes up "a historical". It's as bizarre as if everyone omitted spaces before "historical" but not "history" or any other words.

According to psychology research on human perception there is indeed something that you could call buffered IO in the human brain.

It's used in theories to explain why you can hear your name in a short sentence in a crowded room and then know what the sentence is. Including one or two words before your name. While if your name wasn't said, no attention is diverted to that sound and the "buffer" contents get dropped without retrieving the information.
For folks at home thinking about their windows: Apparently one issue is that windows may mirror the outside environment to birds, appearing as portals to more open-space and trees, especially if you include ultraviolet light which humans can't see and which the glass wasn't designed to pass-through.

So there are a variety of products advertised for home usage that stick to the outside of the window to make it appear more like a barrier, often semi-transparent to us but more-opaque in ultraviolet to birds.

Agreed, I'm really not a fan of the square look, and the Pixel Watch looks great.

I don't get the obsession with magnetic bands; the one time I reluctantly gave one a chance, the watch fell and broke and I returned it for a replacement, then the replacement fell and broke and I had to get a refund.

There are many professional applications (not games) that use custom-drawn UIs.

I agree, but "thus", "hence" and "therefore" are fairly normal words. "Plurality" and the grammatical structures of lawyers are on another level.

I would say maths has its own issues with language accessibility, but they're a bit different from law. Probably the biggest problem is naming everything after people instead of coming up with meaningful names.
Not sure if this is only fresh visas or includes visa renewals. Because of the country caps in the naturalization process, you have people from some countries have to renew visas again and again while they wait for naturalization. Given that H1b is only 3 years, for companies like Google and Facebook, you could have a situation where they are just trying to retain employees who have been with the company for a while.
Interesting background: Apple was, for a while, planning on officially supporting Android as a "host phone OS", but axed the project out of ecosystem concerns: https://9to5mac.com/2024/03/22/apple-watch-compatible-androi...

Personally, this is actually how they got me – I used to use Android phones for many years, but found the Apple Watch so much more appealing than anything available from Google at the time that I made the switch.
I always see a lot of people arguing that H1bs are taking away jobs from qualified Americans by willing to work long hours and work cheaper. That may be true, but in my brief exposure to the tech industry it does not feel true because the salaries and perks are so high, it doesn’t seem like tech companies are exploiting workers and hiring “cheap H1b labour”.

A lot of my batch (all H1b masters) when to Meta and Amazon. All of them were paid 200k+ right out of masters, one was even paid 430k. So is the claim that if these H1bs did not exist, companies would pay 250k+ to those out of masters? And 500k+ to exceptional candidates? If OpenAI was legally allowed to hire anyone from India, China etc, would they stop providing 800k+ salaries? In fact, we know from experience that this is not true because if you go to OpenAI’a website they explicitly mention apply from wherever you want and they will handle immigration. And you also see that they did successfully hire some folks from remote countries with exorbitant salaries.

A much simpler explanation, is that in tech companies employees are not a cost center but a profit generation center. And so tech companies are not looking to save costs by paying H1bs less, but are simply looking to hire the best and pay whatever is needed to keep them. Market competition tends to determine salaries far more than employee labour pool, especially when talent is always in short supply.

This theory also seems more correct to me, in that it predicts places where H1b labor would shortchange existing tech workers. It would be wherever employees are a cost center, legacy businesses that need software but would like to just get it done as cheaply as possible. By definition most of these companies would not be FAANG adjacent, but would instead be companies like say Target that needs simple software that works reasonably well at a low cost. An equitable solution then would be to put a flat minimum salary on H1b’s, say 200k, that would remove most of the cases where H1bs are hired to short change Americans, and not affect much of the talent hiring that big tech does. It’s only negative affect would be on startups, which generally pay low salaries, but would now have to pay high salaries for immigrants.
