The problem with Youtube autoplay is that at some point it just keeps recommending the same 3-5 songs you've already listened to over and over again. I was listening to music on Youtube just now and they just auto-played the previous playing song. Because of this you can't rely on Youtube to play music at say a party unless you make a playlist in advance (which Youtube doesn't allow you to do while you're listening to music on desktop, which is just negligently awful UX).

Why can't they fix this? It'd be extremely simple to implement basic logic to prevent recommending you the same songs you've already listened to over and over again - or even perhaps give you the option to prevent recommending you songs you've already listened to altogether. But as it is right now, there is no way to customize your recommendations other than selecting "not interested" on individual videos/channels.

How is Youtube's recommendation engine this awful? How come you still can't search for and queue up your next video while you're playing a video? It's not exactly rocket science to fix these. Isn't Google supposed to have the "best" engineers?
The one counter example by sibling commenter with the abuse protestors get is reprehensible. How do things like that not outweigh whatever minor inconveniences of disturbance are happening for the people you mention?

Is your Engineering team strained for certain projects? For eg, you might want to build an internal tool or an integration that can really help the marketing/customer success team but can't find the developers to do so. Or, you might want to make quick changes to the website, but again, requesting the Engineering team is a tough ask.

That's where I come in. I am a generalist engineer who can fill that gap.

- I can build integrations for the different solutions you use. Do you want to enrich data in your CRM by using another API? Do you want to receive alerts when something happens? I have built integrations for Salesforce, Google Analytics, Slack, Pipedrive, DoubleClick, and I can quickly ramp up to understand a new product as well.

- I can automate a tedious workflow. Does your success/support team have to check multiple sources before finally understanding the customer's problem? I can build a one-click solution that can save hours of work.

- I can build internal tools for your Sales/Marketing teams. Do they struggle to correlate data because they are so spread out? Are they looking for an easier way to demo their product? I can build an internal tool to solve that.

I am quick to understand the problem and I propose solutions that are simple and easiest to achieve. I am primarily looking for part-time work, but open to Full-time/Contract work as well.
What exactly is the difference between modifying copies produced by the manufacturer and creating new copies with unwanted content removed, provided the copyright holder still gets paid for each sale? Does it really matter that they automated the process?
Maybe because this is something very close to my wheelhouse, but this article seems to be overly wordy for something obvious.

Smartphones are simply more convenient than a standalone camera can ever be. Add on top of that the incredible computational imaging capabilities that have been developed over the past few years and the quality of images you can get from the size of optics and pixels that these devices have is amazing and more than good enough for 99% of people. There is nothing that the camera industry can do to access this market in any meaningful way.

The standalone photographic camera industry is going to be reduced to professionals and enthusiasts that need/want things like reliability and ruggedness, long focal lengths, creative control, and the process of taking a photograph.

Sony and Fuji are really the only two companies that really get the current camera market IMO. Sony is putting out technologically amazing cameras that are bringing smart auto-focus systems, high resolutions, video, etc. that catch the eyes of tech enthusiast photographers and professionals alike. Fuji is selling a whole experience of the art of photography. Canon and Nikon are selling to... Canon and Nikon users.

At the same time, these companies also obviously don't get it. I still can't figure out why someone hasn't added computational photography and a smartphone-like user interface for the enthusiast crowd (Why are you still not listening Sony? Your cameras were literally built on Android!). Why do we still have to mess about with camera tethering when it should be seamless to have photos transfer to a device for professional shoots, or to your smartphone for posting to social media?
While Gaggle is indeed crazy intrusive, they're not really alone in this world of K12 monitoring. GoGuardian and Lightspeed Systems are doing the same thing, perhaps to a lesser degree, but maybe not.

For example, administrators using GoGuardian can get 'Smart Alerts' for 'self-harm' and other objectionable material. They'll receive an email that includes a screenshot of the material in question, and for G Suite, it spans Google search, Docs, and effectively any Google service.

However, that said, I just tried to pull up a link for GoGuardian and noticed they have this disclaimer:

"Please note: Smart Alerts for the "Self-Harm" category is no longer available for new customers. For more information, please reach out to your sales representative."
I’m not sure what your point is. Could you clarify it for me please? On the one hand you seem to be saying that there are networks of no shit actual Nazis in positions of power in Germany and that they have some organizational continuity with post war real Nazis. This seems unlikely, if only because the Stasi would definitely have infiltrated them and exposed them at some point for a propaganda coup.

As to the Bundeswehr document and Horst Köhler that does seem insane. If German polite society makes the President reign for saying something that anodyne they might as well abolish the military and declare themselves a protectorate, whether of France or the US.

I love free software, and I hate non-free software.

Writing free software doesn't pay very well, on account of it being free.

Maybe I should work for FSF or Mozilla, but I'd really like to make enough in industry to be comfortable far into the future before I forfeit the chance to retire.
Uh, no? At least in mobile OS's, the applications are isolated very strongly. And QR reader app is likely to have minimal permissions, and does not declare "backgroup daemon" one -- so even if app is entirely taken over, the worst it can do is to show scary messages and redirect you to nasty URL.

The former is easily ignorable, while the latter is no worse than typing random link shortener URL you found on paper.
Compiling to webassembly is definitely a good thing in my opinion. We need to get the Internet off javascript and start using real programming languages to build next generation applications on the Internet.

You're right, it doesn't say that they aren't real. It says that they're dumb and meaningless and very real to the poor ignorant souls who think they're real.

I'm pretty snobby about a handful of things, but I'm well aware that it's pure snobbery and that I don't have some sort of intellectual blah blah blah than makes me better than the ignorant plebian next to me on the subway.

Art snobs are no different than wine snobs, comic book snobs, cigar snobs, film snobs, anime snobs, whiskey snobs, dog show snobs, foodie snobs, beer snobs, you name it. But modern art snobs are somewhat unique in claiming to be better than the rest of us.

I can listen to a model train snob talk about their stupid thing for however long and just vicariously enjoy their enthusiasm for the topic. I hear them talk and I just hear, "this thing is so cool!" and in that moment I think it's cool too. I listen to a modern art snob talk about Jackson Pollock or whatever and I just hear, "I'm so much more intellectual, cultured, and sophisticated than you!"

Some people are objectively worse than others, and modern art snobs are objectively worse than nearly all other snobs. I'll marry a stamp collector or a buckeye, but I wouldn't marry a modern art snob with no self awareness about their snobbery.

There absolutely is a sizable market for this type of content, but content producers don't want to budge. I think there are a lot of great films that have content I don't want my children watching, and my choices are either to find an edited copy or not consume the content. The problem is that the copyright holder's position is that I'm free to consume other content, whereas my position is that I should be able to modify whatever content I purchase or pay to have access to.

Personally, I don't think copyright owners should have any standing to force consumers to consume content in the way the producer intended, they should only be able to offer the content or not. As long as there copyright owner is compensated for each sale, I see no problem with adding value, such as by editing the content or adding to it, provided the modifications are enumerated.

Camera companies are user hostile and the people buy them are used to it. Terribly menus and interfaces, and they don't even care. Even their key features, like video recording are reduced to a 29 minute limit due to an old expired regulation (hello Sony A7iii). USB-C ports for data transfer that can't be used for charging. The list goes on.
That’s only really true for homogeneous groups. When culturally diverse people get together they rarely agree on what the status symbols are. Think old vs new money at a party. For any given metric say highest status, smartest, strongest, or most attractive person it’s hard to define an absolutely objective criteria.

Note that it was not in the QR scanner itself -- the parsing part was fine, the image was always decoded safely.
It is the network setup script which parsed the extracted text which was vulnerable.

And this is not unique to QR codes -- the correct setup string looked like "b=USmtPf6GnLZYDuR9&s=PCheX14pPg==&p=AbCD123465". This already looks like gibberish to most people; if this was replaced with evil string, I am not sure user would realize that.

Ran into this problem pretty recently actually. We've got a machine that was set up 10 years ago to use a canon DSLR camera to take scaled images we can use to program with. After ten years the body and lens are dying. We replaced the lens about a month ago after it refused to take pictures due to focussing issues. We wasted half a day recalibrating the grid used to scale the image. It worked well until last week when we started getting focus problems again. We're going to replace the body this time and likely the lens too just to be sure.

There is zero reason a DSLR camera is needed for this setup. Ten years ago it was the best option, but for our application we really don't need it. Sadly, the software we use is 10 years old, usupported and half written in German. Calibrating was a fucking nightmare, more than half the variables in the configuration file were German and the machine support people stopped supporti.g it years ago and don't have any staff familiar with it any more. Anyway tangent aside, a high quality cell phone cameram that's easy to interface with and doesn't have the problems associated with a ten year old DSLR camera would be so much of an improvement.

I also learned because of all of this, cabin cameras have a finite internal memory because of the way pictures are stored internally on the camera's storage and the only way to get more than 10,000 pictures, even if the pictures aren't being stored on the camera is it insertt an SD card which will work once to reset the camera's interal counter which should give you another 10,000 pictures.

I think the problem is that there are two nearly polar opposite desires for UI and processing, that require totally different approaches to a camera.

One is the smartphone user who desires good quality for whatever the situation, who just wants a photo uploaded to Instagram or whatever, NOW. They don't want to learn how to adjust exposure compensation to expose-to-the-right for optimal raw image quality.

This user wants lots of R&D spent on computational photography, lots of processing power on the phone, and a simplified UI that just gets out of the way.

The other is the enthusiast photographer who shoots for either pleasure or maximum quality.

This user wants all the control, all of the time: they've invested time and effort into nailing exposure, mastering autofocus, all while composing beautiful shots. A smartphone interface is not what you want: the best images are often captured in difficult environments where a touchscreen just gets in the way and you must have hard control points.

As far as processing goes, they don't really need any of it; they'll often just process in post. Just gimme the raw data and that's all I need.

Can any manufacturer manage both? Much less in the same camera? For a competitive price?

I'm not sure.

Weird that this is being downvoted. What is the US government going to do, create a China-style great firewall? Even the (right-) wingnuts would be sharpening their pitchforks.
>Edit I forgot to add that I believe Sony just introduced a new $1400 flagship camera, the a6600. https://www.dpreview.com/articles/6975583891/sony-a6000-a610.... It has a 4-5 year old sensor in it and software that is even older.

how often does Sony release new APS-C sensors?
Developer edition has updates but it's a beta. Unbranded builds aren't a beta but don't get updates. There is no version that's just like normal firefox except without signing enforcement.
What do you mean? I screen stuff before allowing my children to watch all the time. My parents did the same and would sometimes skip scenes they knew were bad (e.g. a sex scene in an otherwise adolescent-friendly film).

Nobody was forced to take the job. Everybody has different standards for what they want to allow into their home, and it makes sense for parents to be able to block certain content they feel is inappropriate.
> Even their key features, like video recording are reduced to a 29 minute limit due to an old expired regulation

That's not entirely true. The usual excuse is that transcoding generates significant heat and without sufficient cooling the cameras will be damaged. To some extent this is true.

It tends to depend on the bitrate; 4k will get hotter faster than 1080, and 480 will go for long enough to not be a problem generally.

If you stream to an external transcoder/recorder, you can typically record indefinitely with most modern bodies.
C/C++ compilers (at least, all the ones I know about) squawk about it unless you add an additional set of parentheses around the assignment.
Except git is a homophone for "get", a word said quite regularly, and relevant to VCS.

IDK what "dick" sounds like. A man's first name?
The big downside of this is lack of redundancy. QR codes are incredibly redundant. check out images 6 ("lose an edge") and 10 ("blob of paint") in the page:
http://datagenetics.com/blog/november12013/index.html

Both of these scan perfectly fine with QR. And in HR, those (and most of other damaged examples) would be unreadable.
Traction units throughout the trainset would mean only a subset of locomotion units are unpoeered at a time. Only very long bridges would require catenary refits.

Freight rail would require immense batteries.
> What if I put my signature in the center of a football field sized canvas and name it "Football Sig 100.1ZZZ”

In all seriousness, a signature of that scale would be art. It’s the ultimate expression of ego and people may well want to see it, because you had a point for all that labor involved (even if the point was proving how stupid art can be).
