Re:Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (February 2026) on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @01:27AM (#46882208)
Security Engineer and Full-Stack Developer who "bleeds tech." I am also a justice-impacted individual. Since being released from incarceration three years ago, I have fought every single day to rebuild. It hasn’t been easy. In Spring 2023, I secured a life-changing DevSecOps role at a Canada-based firm, only to have the offer rescinded due to a background check. Just months ago, I lost a promising contract-to-hire position after being transparent about my "colorful background" pre-offer.

I have protected systems at Tinder, Verizon Media, UCLA Health, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

I am looking for the one company willing to take a chance on a re-entering citizen who brings a level of resilience you won't find in a standard resume.

Re:On MicroSD card problems (2010) on Friday February 13, 2015 @01:39PM (#9046178)
For the life of me, I have not come up with a sane solution for this issue. On my 2013 MacBook Air, It keeps hitting the lock switch when I insert an SD card. MicroSD cards are often used by myself and my team, and put into card bigger card readers for consumption. I don't care too much for regular sd cards, but I acquire media in the field ALOT, and need to get quick access to pics and vids for editing on the go. I don't want to purchase a USB SD Card reader. Does anyone have a sane solution or experience addressing the issue?
