Yeah it's fair to say that if suddenly a huge influx of people show up causing downwards pressure on wages then that can happen. Though I feel like construction work is a place where there is legitimately more limits to how many people who are willing to work in that industry (even if you paid me double a SWE salary, I'm not working in scaffolding all day) locally.

I do think that if you don't tie the visa to the employer, then it's _less interesting_ for an employer to recruit people from abroad. Especially for companies whose entire business model is "get cheaper IT labor, locked into mandatory service, in exchange for being an entryway to the country".

Like if you despise those shops, then you really should be lobbying to get rid of the employer lock-in.
Nurses care, so they are used to getting shit on, so put up with things most other people would consider insane.

Thank you for pointing this out—I appreciate it and have upvoted your comment. My original complaint was based on my memory of the 2014 iCloud celebrity scandal involving passwords. As I recall, there was a security issue where hackers exploited the “forgot password” mechanism. I believe Apple had very lax mechanisms in place at the time. However, since this wasn’t a complete compromise of iCloud, I’ve removed that detail from my main point to make it clearer.
There are now synchronizing authenticators that solve this problem pretty well (including open source and platform agnostic ones!), but as a result obviously also exist on a different point on the security-availability/convenience line.

I'll wait for the new gen of developers to re-discover WYSIWYG cross-platform GUI frameworks such as C++ Builder / Lazarus / Delphi like we had in the 90s
I think the dichotomy of script kiddies versus hackers applies aptly to modern developers. Some developers learn their frameworks and libraries and enough of the language to be productive (script kiddies), whereas some have a keen interest in understanding how a system works and the art of software engineering (hackers). Hackers in my experience are still a very rare breed.
Yet another reason why ultra processed food categorization is unhelpful.
Isn’t linear algebra heavily used in machine learning and computer graphics (not just know it, but be able to wield it proficiently)? So ya, the talent probably exists, but they hit the “these engineers are making half a million a year to do something else” problem.
The simple answer is no, not really. I wouldn't even trust it for baseline FTP provisioning, much less anything like Plex that might need working GPU drivers. The emulated shell is really not enough to do anything remote on an iOS device, in my experience.
Either the package does or the developers do. And only one of them has compilation checks.
I'm not USAian, but everything you described to me makes the job sound miserable, especially compared to the competition.

The clearance I won't comment on, as I have no clue what it involves. Presumably though, this means randomized drug tests which is IMO a complete violation of privacy. Also, I'm probably wrong but it gives me the impression that despite your reassurance that you aren't building weapons systems, ya kinda are.

And as you said, a part of your company makes weapons. That will automatically cause many people to be disinterested, for better or worse.

> Ghost positions

In my experience, gov't jobs are the worst when it comes to fake job postings that only exist as a cover for internal promos. Might be different in the states, but I doubt it.

> Yes, we are willing to train someone who is motivated. We won't re-teach linear algebra...

Wait, so will you train them or not? You won't refresh someone on linear algebra which most people haven't touched since their uni days, but you'll put a technical writer through university to become an engineer? Which one is it? Then later on you say the algebra thing is a hard requirement. How do these statements make sense together?

> Can't work remotely

This is an automatic disqualifier for many people, for many reasons. I get that you're working with space hardware in clean rooms, but if this means people have to move to the middle of nowhere (or just move, period) and commute for 2 hours each way, then you're disqualifying tons of people, when their alternative is a job where they can work remotely with all the benefits that entails. I'd personally rather be dead than be forced to commute ever again.

> We pay well

Define well? Especially with everything else I commented on, is it really "well", if they can join a much less frustrating job and get paid more? Also you sound quite snarky about working at Meta. I'm no fan of FAANG, but if we're talking compensation, I think the snark is unwarranted given the situation.

> We expect programmers to remember linear algebra and have more than the ability to shovel frameworks on top of each other...

Again, snarkiness and derision. A bit of a dumb position to take when you're admitting that the easier job not only pays (dramatically) more, but has better conditions (remote work, no clearance-related BS) as well.

No wonder you can't find qualified individuals, your comment alone makes it sound like a miserable job where you're working for bean counters that want to inspect the cloudiness of your piss while forcing you to waste half your life driving to the office and back without extra compensation, while they get to see other, less skilled engineers "glue frameworks together" for double the pay and quadruple the happiness. And I find it rich to comment on advertisers when your company makes weapons that literally kill people. Something about reaper missiles and glass houses comes to mind here.
> People who remember all their math and enjoy it and can also code, are also very employable at all the AI companies and departments, including at Meta.

That happened during the Great Tohoku Earthquake of 2011. There is an excellent Netflix series about the Fukushima disaster called The Days which depicts the family of a powerplant worker from Mutsu struggling with the winter weather after the power cuts.

About elder people, we heard from the emergency services that, due the lack of insulation and central heating of most houses here, the most common type of emergency during the winter is elder people moving from a warm room to a cold room like the toilet and suffering from thermal shock.
A Samaritan was essentially the enemy of the Jew which is what makes the story so poignant.

As for how to interact with non believers, Paul talks about this in his letters to the Romans and the church in Corinth.

1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV
[14] The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13 NIV
[11] But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. [12] What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? [13] God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you"

Romans 8:7-8 NIV
[7] The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. [8] Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

The reason Christians are encouraged to bring the gospel to non believers is commonly referred to as the great commission. However this should be given and not forced .

Luke 9:5 NIV
[5] If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

2 Timothy 2:24-26 NIV
[24] And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. [25] Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, [26] and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

Even so, Christians should expect to be hated

John 15:18-19 NIV
[18] “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. [19] If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

However I think JetBrains should be worrying. I've been using and paying for JetBrains products for many years and Cursor is the only thing making me consider switching from it.

Welcome to the world of EMS, where things such as these are common:

"Staging" in your ambulance for an entire 24 hour shift. Fuck your comfort. Not on a call? You can hang out in the rig. But not in the back.

Oh, when I said 24 hour shift, you can be mandatorily "held over" for 12 hours if your replacement is sick/calls out.

Oh, when I said up to 36 hour shift, the last private EMS company I was at allowed shifts of up to 60 hours, at which point you could be assigned to another shift after 8 hours break.

But at least that means a good amount of overtime. Shame EMTs often make around $10-11/hr in a lot of places (if that).
The low power processors are not general purpose, they are fpga's, they get trained and then are highly optimized at their task.

Nobody can explain what you saw because they didn't see it with you. Your vision is interpreted by your brain and memories are reinforced by whatever narrative you produce when you recollect them each time and grow stronger into that narrative. It will always have been a drone to you, no matter what anyone can say about why it probably wasn't.

I am not discounting what you saw and have no particular reason to doubt you, but human psychology operates in a way that is not conducive to being proven wrong about such things. Take that as you will.
Can you elaborate on this “excuse” and “exploitation” you are talking about? I am curious because I fully believe Apple really cares about security and privacy and goes to great lengths to preserve it for their users. Sure they use it as a strategy, and that is how they justify the investment. Am curious about your opinions though since you seem to be on the other end of the spectrum
There‘s UTM SE on the App Store, which might be ok to use for very minimal distros (no JIT): https://apps.apple.com/at/app/utm-se-retro-pc-emulator/id156...

iirc they shipped an electron app the last time I used it on Windows. The 150 MB are likely just 30% Chrome, 40% graphics (their UI is fancy and has images of connected components) and, 10% bundled js code.
In terms of 'applying their own judgement' I wonder if this would take the form of agencies still pursuing their normal course of regulation, but courts having the option but not the obligation to defer to that regulation as an expert reference, at which point they are essentially reifying the regulation into case law. I wonder if you'd even get cases designed to lead judges to rule for a regulatory agency's interpretation to get the regulation more firmly established.
FastAPI uses uvicorn which is ASGI, but you can choose to implement endpoints as either async or sync. I have implemented servers using both styles. Very pleasant to work with, and everything is type hinted, which is a must for me in any serious Python project.

In many highly developed countries in the world, visas are not associated with an employer. We don't see people clamouring to post about it on HN. Why? Because the number of visas offered to skilled migrants is relatively limited.

Second, you wrote:

> Construction workers arent tied to a single employer (usually) and that drops the price of labour across the board even in union dominated markets.

How can you be sure that this is true? Do you have a "natural" experiment where two similar areas in the US have construction workers where area A has workers tied to a single employers and area B not? Else, how can you say this with such confidence?

Yes! I am a "glaucoma suspect" meaning that short of going blind, I have the eye and eyesight degeneration characteristics that suggest I have the disease - no known causal factors. So I am treated with an expensive eye drop drug, rhopressa. In the fine print of the paper that comes with the drops is, and I paraphrase, a disclaimer stating the drug's active mechanism is "unknown."

But my ocular pressure is definitely 30% lower than when not using rhopressa! (shrug)
Malaise can be due to an underlying condition causing a biochemical imbalance. Stimulants are often prescribed as a first line defense for good reasons, but you can go back and let them know why it isn’t working.

Launching without compiling, a main interface... a Mark Reinhold story

During jdk 1.1 development, there was obviously no consensus on test suites (i.e., JUnit), and the JavaSoft JCK tests required a ridiculous amount of html documentation for tracing to specs. Mark Reinhold, the jdk tech lead, refused to have his team write tests in JCK form, so instead he wrote a small harness with a compiling class loader: point the harness at a directory tree of .java files, and it would run them all, compiling as needed. The test interface was just a main function, and if it threw an exception, it failed. Pure and simple.

But probably the best magic trick for Java programmers is debugger hot reload. You write some empty methods, start the debugger, and then code iteratively, reloading as needed. (Set up the data and interfaces right, and change method bodies as you wish.) It's so much easier than recompile-println when you're just getting started, and after you've grown up and out, it's easier than rebuild/redeploy when you're working on a big system.
Yeah my guess here is that Meta wants WhatsApp to hook into the "native" phone calling system and messages etc.

As someone who used to use a lot of third party apps for core functionality in Android, I ... like the idea of third party apps taking over some of this stuff. But I don't know if I want Meta to be the one to do it!
I'm in favor of immigration generally, but I actually agree with the cultural argument here. The toxic culture really shows up in interviewing. Recently I've repeatedly had to deal with interviewees obviously cheating with AI tools. Also, while I agree that folks on H-1 visas are around the same qualification-wise as citizens, I also agree that their primary interest is always their visa, not doing a good job as an employee.

If Apple's interfaces aren't fundamentally exploitative then I don't see how it's unreasonable to let Meta interoperate with them. As long as the user opts into it deliberately, Apple has no right to obstruct their business.

Personally, I don't trust Meta as far as I can throw them but it's my phone so I know I can make the call. I want interoperability to be forced so that iOS and Mac customers can finally use alternatives to Apple's unnecessarily opaque, expensive and untrustworthy services.

Competition will do good here. Apple needs to fix their infrastructure if they're unable to safely let competitors integrate with iOS and Mac platforms.

I think it's more about the game theory of (MAD) than actual impact. The ideal state is reputation of reciprocity without actually having to do it. But because the US has a policy of openness / rich people in the US want to sell stuff made cheaply... it's fairly one way.

In the 1970s, the USSR would literally just buy the latest US chips. No need for much crazy subterfuge and honeypots - go to conference, find someone with chips who likes cash, and buy them. That's what led to the crypto bans in the 1990s, where software that implemented cryptographic technology couldn't be exported - as if bits cared much about crossing borders and clickwraps!

Letting the users decide is a sure way to lose the plot on data. There are always users that will want to give away their data and so services won’t have any incentive to build services that preserve privacy or attempt to reduce user data consumption. I would much rather be strict and let them not get any new data beyond what is already lost

For everyone who thinks H-1B and its ilk make it possible to hire foreign workers at below what citizens are paid - have a look on your favorite search engine for:

“Prevailing wage condition”

It’s a requirement that’s part of the Labor Condition Application wherein based on the location you’ll work (the “Metropolitan Service Area” or MSA) to be granted a visa your employer must prove they’ll pay you above publicly available and published minimum wages for each job title.

These wages are public. If you have a problem with what they’re permitted to pay H-1B workers, the published prevailing wages are what you have a problem with. Spoiler though: they’re actually pretty accurate.

Here is one example of how hard it is to underpay workers on visas: during the pandemic, workers on visas were not legally allowed to be furloughed, because they would run the risk of not meeting the prevailing wage that year, putting the employer out of compliance with the LCA and subject to fines in the event of an audit. So what happened in practice was negotiated unpaid leave or in most cases the US gov covered wages via programs like PPP.

Now this is all out the window if the published prevailing wage for a given occupation is too low or the employer somehow sneaks one by the consular officials approving petitions - by selecting a title too junior for the applicant’s years of experience, for example. There will always be anecdata that makes this seem like a huge problem so be wary because one story does not a trend make. As mentioned above, by and large the prevailing wages are pretty on point with what American citizens are paid.

The reality of the way this system works is it’s WAY more technical than fearmongerers would have you believe. Visa holders are very much NOT undercutting anyone and the H-1B is not a completely broken system - even though the lottery and the fraudulent applications cause hell for applicants and employers it does basically do what it’s intended to do. So besides the exploitative situation these changes seem to proactively address, it mostly works and alongside the O-1 and a few other visa categories, has played a key role in the US’ ongoing supremacy in AI and many other industries.

Source: Australian citizen spent over 6 years working in SF on an E-3 visa which is very similar to H-1B.
