Ask HN: Better approaches to finding dev jobs that don't require a degree?
At the moment I'm just opening each ad in turn and scrolling to the point where they list requirements to look, but it's quite tedious and I feel like someone must have solved this problem already - either with a dedicated tool/site or with a magic search term that makes it easier to filter them out.

Edit: Extra detail I wasn't sure would be relevant - I am looking in the general London area. Have ~1 year professional experience as a frontend developer but would ideally like to transition to backend development if I can (have some hobby/side-project experience in other things and have programmed small projects for eightish years on and off).
Oh, this is nothing. A while back the browser vendors decided that since underscores weren't technically allowed in subdomain names, every CA who'd issued such certificates needed to revoke them all. It turned out that some of those certificates weren't terribly easy to replace. In particular, a whole bunch were in use by a health insurance enrollment system that was right in the middle of the main enrollment period and because of that could only receive changes that were absolutely essential. So the CA ended up missing the deadline to revoke them by a few months in order to keep this all working. The annointed enforcers of the CA rules were, of course, utterly pissed that their underscore pedanticism wasn't considered important enough to risk people losing access to healthcare for, pointing out that they could certainly deploy a fix if there was some critical security issue so why couldn't they do it for this?

Edit: Oops, I misunderstood a question. Actually further in PDF they specify that US specifically is 39%, which is roughly 400 billion. If we go by this number of total capitalization of the US stocks being 30 trillion, then Norwegian oil fund owns 0.4/30 which is 1.3%
If anyone knows of something like this in the Boston area, do let me know. I'd love to see it.
Norway is not an EU member, so by funding EU industries, they would found businesses in other countries ;)

Yep, and for those from Italy is granita (which is not a sorbet, it is - slightly - different):

And it is commonly eaten (in Sicily) with a brioscia (which is also - slightly - different from the more known French brioche).
We are both on prep because we are in an open relationship, and yes sometimes that involves "unprotected" sex.

Again though, if it was not for the fact that the US continues to charge significantly more than any other country I would happily pay for it myself.

I already pay for the copay. I am not personally asking for the government or anyone else to pay for my Prep.

But, as it is we offer condoms for free if you know where to look.

(Ignoring the fact that this is under attack for a moment...) we offer reproductive services to woman that need it.

So why the fuck is prep so different.

God forbid as a society we focus on the society as a whole instead of demonizing the choices that people make.

They were speaking of medicine rather than policy, and getting it wrong. PReP is not the same course as treatment, and prophylaxis is always a thing given to healthy people rather than sick ones. The side effects are considered manageable: you watch for signs of liver problems and you don't give the drug to people prone to them.

I'm not a doctor but I can read the prescribing information[1], which they don't seem to have done.

It's easier to build and modify a telescope on the ground. Once a telescope is launched it's extremely expensive to go make any changes to it, on the ground new experiments can be added later. Currently we have no way of doing a Hubble style modification even if we could get to the satellites (JWST is going to be launched very far out for example) that was something pretty unique to the Shuttle program.

On top of that building a telescope with a very large mirror is much harder because they have to be launched. The mirror on James Webb is only 6.5m (ish) and it requires a folding mechanism to fit inside the faring of rockets. Making a 30m mirror may not be possible without going to farings larger than any rocket around today. BFR if it actually pans out will make much larger space telescopes possible.

Indeed, there has been a lot of flashy useless stuff. Looking back at the days of products like silentrunner, intellitactics, and then the tyranny of radial diagrams and chart junk that followed, it's littered with failed dreams. Viz has a GIGO problem (garbage in, garbage out) and a big part it is the lack of methodology and general maturity of the field.
The MITM to make you agree to a pointless EULA for using wifi is one of the most obnoxious things going. I know this trick (I've usually used http://fark.com) but non-technical people don't know it and as such public wifi is largely useless to them because of the MITM they use. Also, plenty of public wifi is flaky and as such by the time you've loaded the authentication page, you've lost your signal and need to re-auth!
Wow! These people must be extraordinary to use oil money this way! Not kidding! Never been in Norway, but in countries I have ever been this would be barely possible due to corruption and the needs of the politician’s buddies.

U.S. Government spending is roughly 38% of GDP and in Norway it's 48%. I think it's safe to say that the U.S. can and does spend a lot, the debate is more towards what ends and how. I'm inclined to think we do a really poor job, with numerous reasons why.

Because for a given amount of funding and engineering effort, a telescope on the ground can be a lot larger.

Hubble has a 2.4 meter mirror, TMT is 30 meters. Resolution scales with the diameter of the mirror (so an order of magnitude more for TMT), while light gathering scales with the area (two orders of magnitude more for TMT).

Traditionally, there were two challenges for large ground based telescopes: a) We couldn't make telescope mirrors larger than ~5 meters because the glass starts to deform under its own weight and the view gets worse rather than better; and b) we lose too much to atmospheric distortion.

The solution to the first issue is to assemble large mirrors from many small mirrors in a honeycomb pattern[0].

The solution to the second one is adaptive optics[1]: Actuators and computer control can compensate for atmospheric distortion by precisely deforming the mirror in real time, several times per second, to cancel out the distortion. We still need a good location for the telescope to minimize the amount of distortion we need to handle, but with that we could for the first time achieve better resolution from the ground with the 10-meter Keck.

These days the benefits of a space telescope come not so much from visible light, but from other wavelengths that are fully or partially blocked by the atmosphere[2]. Like UV, X-ray, or infrared like the upcoming James Webb space telescope.

It's how countries conquer other countries in the new world. Before it was take over by region. Now it is franchise the region into a bunch of smaller obtainable parts. Norway is conquering the way it knows best.
Cant agree with this more. The whole idea of techies recommending “some cheap android thing” to their non-tech savvy friends and family is mind boggling. The entire point of Apple devices is because they just work for those kinds of people.
There is a legislation on vote these days to open up for investment in companies that is not listed on the stock market. A lot of greentech companies is not listed yet, this is the main driver for the change. They still have to publicly give out information about their investments.
Then their engineers are not very good, because all the improvements now come from Google (Night Sight, 3D gestures), Huawei (5x zoom), Samsung (60MP sensor), Oppo/Xiaomi (front camera behind the display) and so ones.

> 17.6 million kWh of energy to use the web every single day.

17 million sounds like a lot but it's nothing.

In Ireland there are 2,878 wind turbines producing 30% of our electric, 47 million kWh of energy every single day more than enough to power the worlds internet even if you use the larger numbers in this article.

This "Wasted energy" is a non issue.
I think you are missing the point of my comment above.

Many, if not most supermarkets in the UK no longer have single-use bags at all. The 5p charge has become irrelevant because there are no longer any such bags.

BUT now they have reusable plastic bags, that are much sturdier and thus made of more plastic, that they sell for 10p.

Most people do bring their own reusable bags with them but some don't, and as said sometimes you simply did not plan to shop and simply don't have a bag with you. In such cases people end up paying 10p for these reusable bags and probably throw them away.

Therefore, I think that single-use bags are still have a valid use: Sometimes you need a bag just for this one time and it would be best if such a bag could use the least material possible. They don't have to be plastic.

The more expensive price is intended at ensuring that people buy them only in emergency cases. Reusable bags should also be sold for more than 10p so that people care enough to actually keep them for a long time.

Note also that the article mentions statistics about single-use bags. Those 10p bags are not single-use so don't appear at all in the figures! A cynic would suspect supermarkets have found a loophole here...
There are better systems, for example RFC 7710 defines how DHCP and RA (the methods devices use to get themselves an address from a network) can tell a device about a captive portal, which is the thing that hijacks your access to the Internet and tries to show some sort of "login screen". There's a current IETF working group, capport, doing 7710bis and other work in this area.

But the existence of a better solution doesn't stop people doing something crummy that kinda-works for them. That's what you're seeing today, it's what you see in most places, most of the time. That's people.

Yes, I would consider Lisp as a big no-go in a resume, if I was looking for a programmer (developer isn't the right term in this context) doing boring and repetetive stuff. Lisp can really spoil one for this kind of work.

Would I look for a developer though, who should solve difficult problems elegantly, a Lisp background would be a huge bonus. Even if the actual work is done in a different language, Lisp gives an ideal introduction into many fundamental concepts. For being a complete developer, one should have learned a variety of programming languages which are based on different concepts, as there isn't one one and only language. Lisp certainly belongs onto the list of languages to learn at least a bit.
How much experience do you have? I have always assumed that when a job ad lists a CS degree as a requirement that there's an implicit 'or equivalent experience' clause that applies. I don't have a degree of any kind and I don't think I have ever been asked. Maybe it's different over here (in the UK), though.
> "Without a prolific income stream comparable to Norwegian oil..."

The USA certainly has such streams. The difference is priorities, not revenue.
Shoulda been taxing any extraction of non-renewable resources into a fund like this. The whole country—literally, the physical country—gets poorer when that stuff's taken out. Shame we didn't capture some of that value for public, shared, long-term benefit.

[EDIT] all non-renewables, that is, not just oil. Should easily make up the difference between population and extracted natural resource value vs. Norway.

Not to be confused with the (I believe) DC/PG County verb "joan". To "joan on" someone was to tease them or "break balls".

The quote is:

That's to say 41% of their equities are North American stocks, not that they own 41% of all North American stocks!

> In the old days, if her product -in this case escape room- would be good, she'd get enough customers by word of mouth alone.

We get clients from 5 m away to 300 km away. The product is great, on a few thousand client, only an handful weren't happy.

> she'd get enough customers by word of mouth alone.

Word of mouth works when there are enough people to listen to it that may be interested in the experience. I'm a fervent believer that anyone can enjoy it, but let be honest, not everyone believes that being locked somewhere is fun ;). Believe me, it's a complaint that we hear often from our client that they weren't able to convince people around them about how awesome escape rooms are.

There's actually money to be made in something that could allow people to find others people to do escape room together, it's something that I often see people asking for in escape room communities.

They already do this. It's the global fund that's reached $1tn, there's another side which is the Norway fund, though it actually limits to the Nordic countries and is a significant presence in that market. The Norway fund is worth a fraction of the Global fund, but I have no idea what proportion of oil revenues go into each.

Norwegian software developer here. I pay my taxes with pleasure, knowing that the money supported my education, my ability to go to the hospital, good roads, good airports, and lots of other public functions that are great because we collectively invest in them. I think anything below 20% in taxes simply means a country's public functions will suffer.

It's weird to me that Americans have so much against taxes. If a country has a low degree of curruption, and has incentives to innovate in the public sector, then taxes are a good thing.

Obviously I can't speak for the general population, but as for my close proximity: My colleagues think taxes are good too. No brain drain here.
I think if you take into account sales and inflation games are just cheaper now so it's less if a big deal. Also with all the reviews and twitch streams it's super easy to get a ton of information about a game.

Calling something "responsible" doesn't make it so. When Google first started this "responsible" disclosure in October of 2014 with Microsoft, Microsoft had a fix setup to be released on Patch Tuesday and asked Google if they could wait to disclose it until then. A mere two days. Google refused and released details on Sunday.

How was releasing the details 2 days early responsible or beneficial? At best it got customers worked up and made them question Microsoft's patch policies.

Do you think in the intervening 2 days anyone took any actions knowing the patch would arrive Tuesday?

Google hides behind "responsible disclosure" as an excuse for using Project Zero tactically to do PR damage to competitors.
