Posting gore/cp on, say, your public feed on a public internet social media site is trashy by the common idea of civil/moral behaviour, but it would be par for the course on liveleak social/ a tor hidden services pedophile social network.
It can be taken for granted that most people think CP is bad, and that sending pictures of dismembered kids to thousands of strangers is rude. Anyone who doesn't agree* will hide anyway, or act anonymously. What's the point in a post like this?

Doesn't the availability of speed boosters somewhat counteract the advantage of access to Canon and Nikkor lenses? I switched from a Nikon system to an Olympus m43 body and kept using all my old glass. Except for one particularly snazzy macro lens, I don't have any native m43 lenses.
I don't suppose you could track down subtitles too? :-)
Soundhound is comparable in terms of detection quality and probably will keep their Spotify integration running in case Shazam locks people into Apple's ecosystem.

What are you referring to here?

It doesn't recognize you singing because it doesn't have the same spectral content as the full song. Shaman doesn't really identify tunes, it identifies recordings. (And it is amazing to me that it works at all)
"Resistance to copying omni-bar"? It seems to work OK for me. What are you trying to do and how does Firefox resist it?

"Crashes every day"? I can't remember the last time I had a Firefox crash; maybe this is OS-dependent. (I use it on Windows and on FreeBSD; how about you?)

"The UX is bad compared to Chromium" -- obviously if you're used to one program's UX then another's may seem obtuse. What about the Firefox UX is actually bad as opposed to different? (For what it's worth, to me FF and Chrome seem very similar to use.)

(I think I agree about ctrl-F, which on some particular pages seems to misbehave on Firefox in ways I don't understand.)
I mean, given that Google still can't even get close, I'd be inclined to tell every last one of them they're full of it.

I actually bought Shazam on android after repeated attempts at getting google to find music in the same way - they're laughably bad.
Tolstoy Farm's produce is a fixture at Spokane's farmer's markets. Their lettuce and kohlrabi have been on our table for years and I never knew a thing about them. Unlike the San Diego area's Yellow Deli, they aren't quite evangelizing their way of life, but they were always soft spoken and kind, if occasionally arbitrary at math.

As predicted by this comment (and others) on the bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=840866...

None of the actual underlying issues have been addressed in the last five months. I would very much encourage people defending this change to go and read the many well-informed comments there, from people attempting to explain how many valuable things will be permanently broken by this change.

Ask HN: Does Facebook automatically “like” pages on your behalf?
I have noticed this a couple of times, where I am scrolling through my News Feed and come across a post (spam, typically) from a page that does not look familiar to me. Today it was a page called "Rock Music Community."

I tapped the name and was taken to the page itself, where it showed that I had liked and followed it. This is odd considering the two facts below, which I know to be true:

1) I use a secure password and keep track of active Facebook sessions. I am certain no one else is using my account in a malicious way.

2) I know for a fact that I never went to a page named "Rock Music Community" and pressed the like button.

That said, what is the deal? It has happened 4-5 times in the past as well, with different pages. Has anyone else experienced this?
> Moving offices is a great way to save operation expenses when the lease is up, if you're desperate.

Even more cynically, planning a move helps defer costs in the existing space. Anything from new amenities to fixing broken desks can potentially be deflected with "it's not worth it right before we move".
It's attitudes like yours, that seem to equate conflict with aggression, not admitting mistakes with strength and bullying with commanding respect, that need to be opposed. CoCs or not.
Value the higher base salary. You don't just make more at this job. It's the number they'll probably ask for at your next job, so you'll make more there too. It's a raise for the rest of your life, cumulatively worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If that is the case, I recommend some basic privacy and security training for every engineer. I believe the root cause at Google is elsewhere though, its goal is to make money, lots of it.
Ask HN: What Linux-only useful kernel features exist?
Out of curiosity:

What features provided by the Linux kernel are (1) useful in user-space for real programs, and (2) only features of Linux, not POSIX or any other comparable OS such as the BSDs? I'm mostly thinking of ones that also don't have direct equivalents via a differing API.

No programmer working at A-list Bay Area companies should be earning so little that a 1 bedroom anywhere needs to be 50% of their gross income.

1 bedrooms in Mountain View are going for 3-4K/month. No programmers at Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, or Facebook are making less than $100k. Starting salaries (not counting bonuses and RSUs) are between $120k and $150k.

NIMBY-ism shovels money towards landlords, no doubt, but Bay Area programmers are still very rich.
Same in Italy, all schools - independently from grade/type - start in that timeframe, but there are some advantages from what seemingly happens in Boston:

1) Elementary and middle schools are (more or less) neighbourhood based, it is an exception that a pupil comes from far away.

2) The "problem" comes starting from high school, in Italy we have two "generic" high school types, the "Classico" and the "Scientifico" (I think there is no need for a translation) of which there are many + a number of "focused" or "professional" schools like Geometri, Ragionieri, Linguistico, Artistico, Alberghiero (Surveying, Accounting, Linguistic, Artistic, Hotelier) and usually it is the kids going to these latter types that have the longer commuting time/earlier waking needs, particularly those coming from villages nearby the city.

In my times, I was lucky enough to be able to walk (accompanied or later alone) to elementary school as it was less that one block away, as well walk (some fifteen minutes walk away) to middle school and go by bike or moped or bus to high school (a fifteen to thirty minutes trip at the most).

But I had friends that went to that or the other "professional" institute that had 1 h - 1 h 30 trips every morning, so they usually set the alarm clock to 6-6:15 in the morning.

Now I will sound as an old grumpy bastard, but all in all none of us suffered from the scary consequences outlined in the article:

"Sleep-deprived teens are at increased risk for poor academic performance, binge drinking, and suicide."

Maybe, just maybe, it is that risk that is a tad bit exaggerated?
There's a lot that could potentially be done, yeah. But we don't know exactly what FB has done. For example I'd be totally cool with a kitten room. FB could probably afford to foster a bunch of kittens and puppies, and allow the people dealing with horrific imagery to also take the time to hug a puppy (call it socialization) multiple times a day. FB could make the entire room painted some color that FB sponsored a study to determine was the most soothing. All sorts of things. Some of them over the top. Some of them intuitive. But the courts will decide if FB did enough. Looking forward for the courts to begin setting precedent for this sort of thing...
Not sure if you've read the article. The point he's making is that sustainable farming doesn't share all of the downsides of veganism, soil degradation for instance.

I don't understand this logic generally and in this case it makes even less sense. 10 years ago, Uber literally didn't exist. How, in any way, is Uber forcefully underpaying it's employees/contractors? People flocked to drive for Uber; where is the oppression here?

This is the same "Walmart doesn't pay its workers and destroys local businesses argument". People work there, and people shop there. Walmart didn't make anyone do anything, and neither does Uber.

In a free market, people do what is valuable to them. How can you say those people aren't? If it's not a free market, then how is it the corporations fault? Don't hate the player, hate the government.

Would it be that bad? From my simplistic understanding of economics, the Danish central bank can bail it out with minimal side effects, right? And the state would be in a position to ask for a commensurate compensation.

I agree with you, and I work in music audio signal processing.

Shazam was founded in 1999-2000 ish and was live by 2002, longer ago than many people realise. The fingerprinting method they used was a novel one, and they successfully deployed it in a couple of years, with a database of two million tracks, in a system that could be used by dialling a number from any phone. It's an extraordinary and rare example of taking a research method and getting it to work at scale in the face of real constraints, in the process producing something that most people would never have imagined could be done.
Not sure of your age or nationality, but I'm guessing you didn't live through it. (I didn't either, for the record, but my parents did).

Ireland in the 70s was not a prosperous place, and trying to pay for things with second and third and fourth-hand uncashed cheques was a massive headache for everyone.
But since you mentioned this is your opinion, you do acknowledge that these forms of signalling are effective for most other hiring managers, right? Your view is pretty atypical.

Not to be blunt, but your perspective on Google employees is irrelevant in the context of how they're perceived by the broader market. I think that's why your other comment is being downvoted; it seems like what you're saying isn't wrong per se, it's just inconsequential to the job prospects Google employees actually have. Even though you're a hiring manager and don't personally consider Google employment to be a plus, most other hiring managers really do.
Space exploration, artificial intelligence, architecture, art - there are enough bottomless pits on which you can spend endless amounts of money.

My hobbyist opinion... m4/3 has it's limits, but they are well beyond my limits as a once-a-month photographer.

I'm currently shooting an Olympus OMD EM5ii (standard-sized body) and a PEN EP5 (smaller rangefinder-sized body). I primarily use the 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens on the big body and either the 17mm f1.8 or 25mm f1.8 on the small body.

All three lenses will produce pleasing bokeh. Sometimes, I have to run them wide-open to do so. But, at laptop-screen size, any CA or distortion isn't noticeable to the people looking at my photos (family and friends).

Anyway, for me, m4/3 hit the sweet spot of price, size, and photo quality. I used to shoot a Canon DSLR (older Rebel crop-senor) and it was just too bulky to haul around on active vacations. I stopped carrying it, preferring a compact Canon S90. But, it wasn't flexible enough, especially indoors. So, I moved to an Olympus PEN EPL7 to try out m4/3. Loved the size of the complete kit, and traded it for the EM5ii after a year of use. Added the EP5 a bit later just to have a second body on hand (was used and cheap, so I'll carry it places I won't take the more expensive EM5ii).
"This Dumb Industry" is such a good name for this series of blog posts [0]. I always tell people game development is both the hardest and least (extrinsically) rewarding programming career you could pick: volatile, driven by personalities, low paying, with hard engineering problems.

That's not too unusual. I worked at a company where we acquired by one of our "partner's" competitors. An engineer sent out an email including some new management from the acquired company, me, and our partner complaining that our partner was no longer responding in a timely manner ;)
Can you please update the title? Apple acquired Shazam a bit ago. Today, they have completed that acquisition process.
Step 2 needs some clarification. It is possible to implement "blocking I/O" in the kernel with the wait_interruptible() family of functions, and many drivers and subsystems do. These have the fairly straightforward behavior that they can return early with an exit code instead of when the given waitq ueue has been tickled. In the kernel, in C, this is pretty obvious stuff.

But the side effect of not using the _interruptible variants is that there's no way for the kernel to return except from the intended event, which means that other things that you'd want to produce a return from the kernel context can't happen either, including signal delivery. So to userspace the process becomes unkillable and it looks like voodoo.

But at the bottom level all it is in a C API that made promises that weren't kept at runtime.
This is, in my opinion, the main flaw with Naturalism. If Naturalism is true, then no truth can be discerned (not even the concept of Naturalism itself). It's an argument for futility. It's actually a pretty dated argument, though. C.S. Lewis even spoke on the subject:

> If all that exists is Nature, the great mindless interlocking event, if our own deepest convictions are merely the by-products of an irrational process, then clearly there is not the slightest ground for supposing that our sense of fitness and our consequent faith in uniformity tell us anything about a reality external to ourselves. Our convictions are simply a fact about us-like the colour of our hair. If Naturalism is true we have no reason to trust our conviction that Nature is uniform.
Why? If I have a free will then I blame you because I choose to.

If I don't have a free will then I blame you because that's how my brain is programmed (which is BTW most probably caused by optimization of social behavior by evolution - it's better for our genes if we punish violent behavior, so that's how our brains are constructed). There's no need to assume free will.

There's no difference in behavior that depends on existence of free will.
I've noticed that as well. The problem is Glassdoor very rarely actually includes stocks (though they say they do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). All my friends making $400k+ make more than 50% of that in stocks.

As individuals, we look at the world through a microscope, so all personal experience is anecdotal. But these $400k+ earning SEs are a double-digit percent of the engineers I know with 6+ years of experience (N > 10).
I experience the same thing with Sirius. Going under an overpass means about 2 seconds of audio drop. I don’t know anything about their tech but I always assumed buffering isn’t feasible. I would really hope they’d have implemented it if they could.
I'd probably click on that.
my recent experience with shazam is that it's much less accurate than Google when picking out random background music from a noisy area.

that said, i still prefer shazam because it's an actual app, whereas google's implementation is a button that sometimes appears in the google app, and sometimes doesn't, seemingly at random.
Yeah, same here. Though I was becoming increasingly uneasy over the years, this was the final straw. Thanks, Chrome for making this an easy decision.

Although a lot of the commentary and criticism from people is the bad culture but I really think this was a secondary problem, after all bad culture from the top (autocratic behaviour plus harsh deadlines?) might not kill you. (Apple, Tesla, etc.)

But it would seem the most important aspect is really the declining sales every year that could likely be due to business decisions from the top or simply a cash management issue where the cash at hand was not getting replenished at hand fast enough which again could be a business decision gone wrong based on overly positive sales expectations.
Linus Torvalds and Linux Code of Conduct: 7 Myths Debunked
A few points, based on my experience at Facebook and Google. Facebook and Google use a surprisingly similar job title system (maybe Bret Taylor copied the Google system while he was at Facebook?) When you are just hired, you are usually a level 3 but maybe a level 4. After 3-5 years of experience, it is expected that everyone be promoted twice to level 5. Level 5 = "senior software engineer" so that is what Glassdoor will tell you about.

So, there are also plenty of levels above level 5, and it is not uncommon to get there with 5-6 years of experience. If you are world-class famous in your area, you might be a level 9 engineer, even though your external title will still say "Software Engineer". If you are the top engineer on your team you might be a level 6 or 7. Each level is approximately a 30-40% raise on the previous level. So one thing that's happening is that Glassdoor just isn't reflecting the upper end of what you can make.

Another thing is the value of stock. Stock can vary a lot from person to person and company to company. Some companies will give you essentially zero stock. Some will give you stock that's worth a comparable amount to your base salary. More common is somewhere in the middle. Obviously the value varies depending on how the stock does while you're working there, but there are also various ways to get extra stock bonuses for different reasons. In particular you can get stock bonuses for high performance, and if you are being recruited for your particular expertise you might also get an extra-large stock offer.
Another similar thought experiment. Assume people have free will. What if you could go in the future, read a book and learn everything that someone did in their life. Would that contradict free will?
No, I'm not trying to be legalistic. I'm saying that being in such an interesting position not once but twice must carry some juicy stories, and the world yearns for more gossip about the tech robber barons who created our modern world. Please, for the sake of posterity, write a future NYT bestseller dishing the digital dirt.
It's about managing risk, really.

While hopefully it's fairly likely that the profiles which are being constructed based on our online habits won't negatively affect our day to day life, there's a chance that they will and that risk is worth managing.

One scenario to look at is the past behaviour of other big companies during war time or during periods of authoritarian regime when the incentives align between the govt and private entities. There are too many examples from WW2, but also look at how willing many companies were to get their hands on (and share) information regarding figures in the various labour movements throughout English (and American) history, even the ones which weren't explicitly communist. Another example is the big (european car?) manufacturers' cooperation with the regime in Argentina in the '70s who weren't really hiding the fact that they were disappearing the people who these companies were doxxing for identifying with certain social / political movements.

It's just worth keeping in mind that anything you do now which might identify you with a certain group could come back to haunt you if that group becomes the new Reds Under The Bed in 1, 2 or 5 election cycles. And that at this stage you are doing what you are doing with the full knowledge that everything is being retained for use at the discretion of these tech companies.

So I disagree with the idea that it only matters of you ever 'make it'. It also matters if you have shown patterns of behaviour which suggest that you identify with a group that makes it.

That said, I definitely don't do enough either. I only really take the simple steps that others have outlined here.
Nice to see good news like this.
Do you mean Firefox doesn't have a way to return the zoom level to its default? (It has two; you can do ctrl-0 or you can click on the zoom-level indicator in the URL bar.)

Or do you mean you can't tell it to default to a zoom level that isn't 100%? (That seems to be true.) I confess that's never a thing it's occurred to me to want; it feels like if I wanted every website's text to look larger or smaller, I'd probably want everything to look larger or smaller and would adjust my OS's scaling level. But I know some OSes handle that better than others, and maybe there are good reasons for wanting different scalings for websites than for everything else. Still, it's not clear to me that this is so obviously important a thing that "doesn't even have" is fair.
