If you're willing to work in Texas, send me an email (check my profile). We absolutely do not mind if you have gaps.

semi-OT: To all people in this thread who say there is no shortage of developers: if you know any of these developers willing to work in Texas, send them my way!

We are struggling to hire for front-end/full-stack developers. It isn't a problem with pay - we offer quite competitively AND Texas has low cost of living! The problem is that we seem to get people who can't pass variations of fizzbuzz (i.e., implement max, min, mean, median on a list) or who we filter out after an intro call due to red flags (claimed to be a web application security specialist but also claimed no experience with web browser APIs, another that claimed to be an expert in databases but didn't know what a schema was!).

I am willing to believe the talent is out there, but we are having a hard time tapping into it.
I get around this sort of thing by not lying.
Want.
I'm surprised (and maybe somewhat... relieved?) that the protection isn't that hard --- e.g. they could've made this far harder with something based on ISO 7816, and yet not increase the cost much.
> You want convenience, they want data about you. They withhold convenience until you give them the data.

I already directly paid them a tidy sum for my phone. It's gauche for them to try weasel more out of me.
> Morality seems to be common as dirt in art

True. But there are schools of thought in art that deal with aesthetic contemplation. It aspires to be devoid of moral discoursing, but by the nature of being consumed and critiqued by society tends to fall into moral discourse. Is Nobokov's Lolita about eroticism or pedophilia? Is Sorrentino's La Grande Bellezza about beauty or emptiness of a hedonistic lifestyle? I can think of Camus's Stranger which did not serve any moral prescription to me. Because of it's subjectivity and people's trigger happiness when deriving meaning, art becomes about morality. Same can be said about a lot of technological and scientific improvements. Black mirror literally just does that.
No. Reputable corporations don't hire pr firms that claim the people against them are some kind of Jewish conspiracy. They might look for weaknesses in their competitors but that very different.
Finance?? Those companies have little to do with finance--they're tech companies.

It looks like your comments for the last six months have all been in political arguments. Regardless of your politics, that's the sort of thing we HN users here not to do. The guidelines say: "Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle. This destroys intellectual curiosity, so we ban accounts that do it."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Occasional political comments are fine, as I've explained many times: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... But using HN primarily for that purpose degrades the main mandate of the site. If you'd please not do that, we'd appreciate it.

I am just curious, why do you need to test somone's ability to find max of a list. Language designers have recognized this as a basic utility and incorporated them into the language. Is the hypothesis that - if someone cannot write a simple algo to find the max of a list then what other difficult tasks he/she can perform ? Even though in reality we all understand no one needs to write a max algorithm.
Doors and locks only keep out the honest people. These use-cases have some political appeal but are absolutely impractical.

Right, but the bluetooth transmitter is still on. Granted, the likelihood someone will try to hack and steal my $10 bank account credentials is unlikely. For some people, it's just nice to not have a bluetooth transmitter on a keyboard.
One of the reasons that I saw, is that training is very expensive for the company (both in terms of money, opportunity cost, time of other people, etc) which combined with people changing jobs often produces low, or negative ROI. By the time person is trained, they leave, before they start to meaningfully contribute.
More experienced folks also change jobs often, but you have higher chance of getting some productive time out of them before they move.
So it's okay for tenants to set similar boundaries, right? Like for example if a landlord is not living up to their end of the contract.

Which is ultimately what I'm getting at. In reality I've never encountered a landlord that actually adheres to their contractual obligations fully, and depending on how they act towards me informs in turn how I act towards them.

And again, at that point I would be both seeking somewhere else to live as well as taking them to court to break out of the lease due to them not fulfilling their obligations. Now if they actually do everything right on their end then I have less of a problem with them being strict to their tenants.

If you interested in moving forward with programming:

You might try making a game for fun. To give yourself a goal that's more intrinsic. with less stress.

Also, stay away from c++ until your a lot more comfortable with programming. or ever.

You might check out python or vb.net to learn with. little bit easier to follow what's going on.

I would look for tutorials with a cool library or api like an opencv + language tutorial.

The best part of programming is when you can use some else's hard work to slap together something cool.
So peak power is around 600 watts, power supply efficiency is 82%, and voltage is 40.3 KV. So amperage is 0.82*600 watts/40.3 KV=~ 12 milliamps. It's not necessarily fatal[0], but it's not going to be a good day either. In general, hundreds of watts of high voltage DC is not something to take lightly. At the very least, you might accidentally fry any microelectronics on your person! Possibly even near your person(due to the arcing you cause)! High voltage DC has a tendency to make microelectronics nonfunctional.

Gabor Maté is a great public speaker but some of his thinking has some leaks when further prodded [1]. If it could be synthesized and refined a bit more , (maybe his successor?)

I agree. There is zero shortage of developers. I just left Google search. There, all the Dev's are PhDs and will drop everything to fix a non user facing problem at midnight or 1am. They all answer their pagers about it. There is no shortage of Dev's ... but ... these companies are looking for H1B slaves who work 24/7 and 60h a week times 7y of indentured servitude. There certainly is a shortage of Uncle Tom's willing to work for the Simon Legree FAANGs. The FAANGs are the biggest whiner crybabies on Earth about it.
Yeah, I'd say the latter. Finding the max element in a list is an extremely straightforward thing to code; if someone can't do that, it's almost certain they're going to be lacking in a lot of other ways as well. Of course it's not the only thing you would check, but it would make for an easy early filter (which, unfortunately but conveniently, would probably weed out the majority of your resumes).
There is no developer shortage. If anything the junior level is saturated. Good companies are afraid to hire bad developers because bad code is a long term cost.
I run a mentoring organisation which I started because of my interest in teaching. I used to help the graduates find jobs that they liked. After a couple of years, I started a small services company of my own and started to hire mostly out of my own student pool. I'm very happy with the decision. I develop rapport with the students (and later employees).

A 4 month training program, while beneficial for the students, works as an extended interview for me. I get to teach them skills which I think are relevant and fix what I think are cracks in their learning. All in all, at the end, I get employees who have skills that I want and with whom I share a rapport.

The approach has scalability problems since I'm just one person but I see no reason why companies shouldn't formalise something like this and hone good talent rather than fish in the labour pool for it.

You don't need to write one but if you have only a little bit of coding skills you definitely should be able to whip one up if you have to. Same for fizzbuzz or maybe invent some simple sort algorithm.
> I really just want to work somewhere without anti-virus.

Not trying to be hostile.. but why aren't you? I've never worked anywhere that required anti-virus, so I know there are jobs out there that don't require it. In recent years I've gone so far as to take the stance that I won't use company computers at all, only my own, and I still haven't had any problems finding work.

Unless you have strict restrictions on switching jobs (eg. H1B, can't move for reasons, bad network connections so no remote work, etc.) nothing should keep you from finding better working conditions.
Maybe they meant that's the term used for those 5 tech companies in the finance industry?

It's not because of the T2 though - it's because of the Secure Enclave holding the keys for disk encryption and firmware/kernel signatures.

They might have bundled them together, but the layer around the secure part is just another system - it doesn't make anything more secure. All it's functions could have been taken up by the main system.

The only possible security win is by making BridgeOS simpler and less likely to have vulnerabilities.
My employer does... many of our best candidates come in as interns and outperform experienced consultants, but snotty tech companies won’t touch them because they are not from the right schools.
I'd been to UAE and it is surprisingly lax country. In fact, if you ever want to experience culture of a country with Islam as state religion with all Western amenities, your safest bet might be UAE. They really really value their tourism and foreign investment business. Consequently they will look away most things that are outright violation of laws by foreigners. For example, their law bans sleeve less dress for women in public places but you will find Western women roaming around with it and even low shorts all over. Seeing them walking along side burka clad local women is quite a contrast. I even spotted bunch of Western women in bikini on their famous public beach while local women swimming in ocean with their burka on! No one seem to care. Few things they won't absolutely tolerate, however, is possession of drugs, public consumption of alcohol and anything against their royal family.

In current case, it seems journalists are keeping most details under the wraps. Only thing I can get is that the guy was doing some kind of study on security changes that occurred after Arab spring. He should have known that the topic of rebellion would be big hot potato in any monarchy and the country-wide security study adds lot of fire on the top. The right way to do this would be take permission from the local government, inform them things you will be collecting and make sure embassy works with you on this. There is no information on whether this happened.

Finally, why should any one visit such countries? World is not perfect but is wonderful. Human rights and individual freedom are relatively new things and just 300 years ago doing some study like this even in Western country would have same predicament. It is still important to experience and understand different cultures, points of views and communicate yours to others. That is the essence of travelling the world.
Chrome/Chromium uses a lot of RAM but most computers these days have RAM in abundance. You can try Opera or Firefox but I would stick to the main big browsers if you aren’t stressing on RAM usage.
One thing that our company did right was hire a load of junior graduates; they were extremely lucky to benefit from years of learning and explanations from their very senior mentors and it encouraged people to think through why things were being done and to choose simpler solutions for them.

However, I still wonder if any of them are natural programmers or if they were just doing it because it was a good job. By this I mean it would be hard for them to understand and be self sufficient even after a year of intensive training.
I've had 5 jobs now, each lasting about a year and a half at most, and I only quit 1 of them because everyone on the team was being replaced to avoid having to grant any options prior to an acquisition. Twice my employer went out of business entirely, another time they laid off 20% of their workforce to secure more funding, and most recently a company let go all of it's remote developers after a change in leadership.

While I agree you shouldn't quit your job without having the next thing already in place, at least in my experience this is a very volatile industry and you can't really expect to keep a job for a long time anyways. The odds may be better at a bigger company, but it still happens. One of the largest employers in my city just laid off about 1100 people.

I've been lucky in that I've been able to quickly find work after these things happened before, but I look at it like I need to be prepared to potentially have to go without work for months at any time. Hopefully my next job will be one I can keep for several years, as the constant job hopping really isn't for me.
you clearly don’t know anyone with a restraining order or the fear that comes with your personal safety being threatened. there is nothing impractical with uploading someone’s face to your hole security system when you know that personal is a threat and should be no where near you at any time
That's an interesting article but it's a critique of Maté from a humanistic, non-biomedical position that thinks he isn't radical enough in rejecting the biomedical/disease model of addiction. Mainstream critics would reject Maté's views for opposite reasons. In this sense the author and Maté are largely on the same side.
On the job training is very much a thing, but I think the vast majority of companies out there prefer to start doing that while a potential hire is still in college. It's less risky and usually the potentials are more moldable. Internships that move to a full time hire is how we brought in a large percentage of the workforce over at Microsoft, and the same is true where I am now (Atlassian). For those in that position, we supplement their internships with a lot of on the job training.

It becomes harder when someone is in the position you're in - 4 years of experience at companies that aren't big name ones. Most companies aren't sure how good your skills will be, and you come with way more risk than someone still in school. If an intern doesn't work out, after six months you just don't extend them an offer. Their internship becomes a long extended interview. In your situation, if you pass the interview but don't end up working out after 6 months, the process of removing you is much harder. It requires a lot more risk on the company's part, so almost all of the big names exclusively look for college hires.
> Now companies are turning the security against users, lest they also be attackers.

This has always been the case, has it not? Modern security practices seem to operate under the assumption that the attacker can do almost anything the user can except sniff the password out of the user's head.

I think that's a reasonable model to work under. Building a platform that makes it a near-guarantee that the only way to unlock a computer is to be in the user's brain is a commendable security model, and the fact that Apple is executing it so seamlessly (i.e. with minimal user interaction) is honestly incredible. Gone are the days when you need to jump through hoops for security. It's democratized and available to everyone.

I would say that this is amazing for freedom. You could ask for little more than for every citizen to have state-of-the-art security.

Of course, vote with your wallet. If you don't like DRM content, don't get it. If you like the T2 chip and need a new laptop, get a Mac. No one is depriving you of choice, here.
Most people do not know how to teach.
Please read Apple’s white paper on the security chip: https://www.apple.com/mac/docs/Apple_T2_Security_Chip_Overvi...

They provide a setting that lets you disable the boot security at will, allowing you to install Linux or any other alternative OS. Security features on macOS (as opposed to iOS) are generally optional, but enabled by default (as is the sensible choice).

They don’t provide you the ability to reprogram the T2 itself, which is a shame but not entirely without merit - compromising the T2 chip would be far more dangerous than compromising the OS in terms of persistence.
I just recently hired two junior front end devs who I'm in the process of training, although I did throw them in the deep end to see if they could swim.

Maybe extend your horizons and look further afield for roles in other cities/states?
or if your not interested in programming. There will be plenty of good jobs outside programming for a longtime. Some others below suggested some good ones to look at.
It really should be disclosed when purchasing.
Is this something that is considered easy to build locally? When I last looked at the open source options a few years ago it was basically all researchware grade stuff. Amazon is offering this is a production service with SLAs.
It is not, absolutely not. Just think from the company side, they protect their financial interest first and in time of difficulties they lay you off with no mercy. There is nothing unethical in that as well. You just do your job in a professional manner even on your last day..
Oftentimes if the company is a USA startup, none of the experienced engineers have time to train or even mentor junior devs. A lot of startups want people who are "10x programmers" (however ridiculous that notion might be) or maybe it's less sarcastic to describe them as new hires that don't need any guidance or input, and will achieve maximum productivity after a short time adjusting to the new environment/toolset/workflow.

Also, you bring up an important point about time at the company. Anecdotal, but seems like a lot of devs spend 2-3 years at a company before moving on. That cycle is so short that the company doesn't think it's worth investing in junior people and doing so may even be considered counterproductive; the common view is that it's like investing in competitors. I'd like to think I'm wrong about that, but so far it remains a nagging impression.
In my lab, we’ve been discussing it seriously for a while. We think it’s probably best-suited for a highly multithreaded environment which can’t be trivially parallelized. Until we need that in particular, C++ will most likely meet our needs quite well.
Nope. Idiot breaking national law and against all warnings tries to indoctrinate with religion is both “self-righteous” and unethical. Doesn’t matter which religion.
Great idea. :)

I'm working on something vaguely similar but for foreground effects - https://github.com/onion2k/react-neon/ - it's a library that adds a canvas over a component with an interactive effect. It's very early, and Chrome only because it relies on ResizeObserver (but that's going to change to use Mutation Observer very soon).

I added an example that puts Inigo Quilez's WebGL raymarched clouds on a fullscreen canvas yesterday. It makes my iMac sound like a jet engine. https://react-neon.ooer.com/fullscreen/clouds/
I imagine it would bring some ability for load balancing moving more freight during specific hours.
Then why do developers get contacted by recruiters constantly? Every developer I know gets contacted. Yet no non-tech colleagues I know experience anything similar in their industry.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, I'm genuinely curious.
There are places that (shock! horror!) don't actually mind that much what tech stack you have a background in. These are also likely to be places where to use the right tools for the right job, failure and learning from it is encouraged, and everyone helps to fill in the numerous gaps that everyone has in their knowledge.

It might be tricky to find them, but it will be well worth it.
