Re:Can't fish Ethernet? Use "invisible" fiber instead on Monday November 02, 2026 @05:32PM (#50344933)
Network engineer of 20+ years here, but I'm struggling with this 'fished' terminology. Does it mean when a cable is pulled through on a piece of string?

Pre this whole LLM era, Googled would've been roasted if they created a chatbot that hallucinated to users. I feel like this was the main reason they never turned it into a product and then ended up on the back foot.

Their Flash model is going head to head with the SOTA models. It's completely the opposite of embarrassing.
Re:Bomb Fishing Is Wreaking Havoc on Indonesia's Coral Reefs on Tuesday August 25, 2026 @08:10PM (#49442506)
Thais will quite commonly bomb fish their neighbour's dam as often as they feel like it. I'm not convinced that they're also not doing it in the ocean, too. It may be happening away from the main diving sites.
Your source is a site called "Unherd" and the story doesn't exist on any other platform.
That's someone getting deported and has nothing to do with the claims that people were being forcibly removed into quarantine zones. This just didn't happen.
None of your three examples provide any evidence of hazmat crews forcibly taking away infected people. In fact, your links have absolutely nothing to do with anything at all. It's reasonable to assume that police would arrest people breaching curfew orders.

Under no circumstances was anyone in Australia forcibly removed by people in hazmat suits.

I'm more interested to know about the endpoint that was responding to all IPs.

Also, minor nitpick:

> Without that we would have been reduced to tracing through switch ARP tables (for switches smart enough to report that)

You'd only need your switch to have a viewable mac address table rather than an ARP table.

Android now runs a Debian VM, too. It's early days, but I'd be surprised if they don't get Linux GUI apps integrated into Android in desktop mode soon.
Every single LLM out there suffers from this.
There was a time in the 90s when quite a number of governments were aware of this Microsoft problem and insisted on open formats, so that important govt records and data could be open down the track. It seems like all of that was forgotten and traded for 'convenience'.
That's not exactly for slowness reasons. The creators of uv have stated that if pip followed the same algorithms they'd see similar performance benefits. People greatly overstate the Python performance penalty.
Re:Go beyond Goroutines: introducing the Reactive paradigm on Monday October 27, 2025 @11:38PM (#45728998)
Tabs are the recommended indentation method for Go code. It is interesting that they switched after the first example, though.

You absolutely can run docker on the CLI in WSL2. The only requirement is you have systemd running in your WSL distro, which is fully supported.
Re:Show HN: Demo of My Hyprland Setup on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @05:54AM (#45179834)
Niri looks promising to me. After I discovered PaperWM I moved on to Material Shell, which was still the best workflow I've come across to date. It was basically gnome with a 2d grid: you could scroll workspaces left and right and then again on the vertical axis. The author sort of abandoned it (it was a Gnome extension) in order to go all in on their own desktop environment with the same concept. I'm guessing that'll take a while to get off the ground.

> Then came the SQLModel problems. The author pushes it very hard in the FastAPI docs

No it doesn't? The front page for FastAPI contains a pretty lengthy tutorial with no mention of SQLModel. The only time SQLModel gets a significant mention is on a page explaining connecting a relational DB, but it makes it clear that any DB at all can be used. Something has to be chosen for the tutorial, so it makes sense the author would choose their own.

If SQLModel isn't right for you then you're the only person to blame. I've been through that tutorial before and settled on plain old SQLAlchemy.

Re:Android 16 Is Here on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @09:27PM (#44243335)
It feels like we're getting very close. The recent addition of a Debian VM into Android (I believe it's even in AOSP) leads me to believe we'll be getting Linux apps on Android in the same way ChromeOS gets them. Imagine being able to run VSCode off your phone anywhere you can plug into a monitor.

I also think we'll get a more desktop ready version of Chrome. If we get these things I think it'll be a gamechanger.

Re:How I pwned a major New Zealand service provider on Thursday March 27, 2025 @10:14PM (#43500719)
It's certainly not the norm in Australia, nor have I come across that in probably the last 15 or so years. Running your credit card through the terminal to place a hold on funds is done pretty much everywhere. I'm sure there's a few crusty old operators out there doing things the old way.
Re:How I pwned a major New Zealand service provider on Thursday March 27, 2025 @10:12PM (#43500702)
They're not supposed to write the details down, which is what this person was referring to.

In Asia, they quite often take your CC details and enter it into a text field in their own system in case they need to process it later, including the CVV. Sometimes they're writing it down on paper.

They're not entering it into a PCI compliant system where the digits are masked.

Re:Kubernetes on Hetzner: cutting my infra bill by 75% on Sunday December 01, 2024 @07:06PM (#42291774)
> While DigitalOcean, like other providers, offers a free managed control plane, there is typically a 100% markup on the nodes that belong to these managed clusters.

I don't think this is true. With Digital Ocean, the worker nodes are the same cost as regular droplets, there's no additional costs involved. This makes Digital Ocean's offering very attractive - free control plane you don't have to worry about, free upgrades, and some extra integrations to things like the load balancer, storage, etc. I can't think of a reason to not go with that over self-managed.

Re:We're forking Flutter on Monday October 28, 2024 @08:08PM (#41977974)
I have a pretty limited understanding of mobile sandboxing, but how does FlutterShark have access to analyse all the apps on my phone?
Re:We're forking Flutter on Monday October 28, 2024 @06:37PM (#41977258)
I don't think people are able to tell a Flutter app from any other cross platform/web framework. They just think they can.
Re:Is Android Unicode Yet? on Wednesday October 09, 2024 @07:21PM (#41793885)
The Python code is missing an import for ttlib. I'm assuming this comes from fonttools, but there's no easy way to know that for sure in Python.
Re:Sublime Text 4180 on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @01:37AM (#41178521)
I've just noticed that the upgrade notification window mentions that I need to upgrade the license... so I checked out the news on their website and it seems they've switched from licenses being valid for a major version, to only being valid for 3 years. This feels like a bit of a rug pull on an already very expensive editor. I won't be renewing and I guess this is the end of the line for Sublime and I.

Here in Australia, POTS lines have been completely decommissioned, UK will be switched off by end of 2025 and I'm assuming there's similar timelines in lots of other countries.

They do when they still create and sell skins and items for the game.
I'm just as confused... If you're copy/pasting the code into a new session, isn't that reading the code?
Re:Amazon's Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @10:42PM (#38935848)
I've always thought similarly about Uber. All they're doing is providing the platform and don't have to supply cars, drivers, etc. They basically take a cut on all rides worldwide and just have to supply a map solution. It seems to me they should be pretty damn profitable.
