Yes, I assumed it is an exit point of the great firewall or something like that, but they do so much packet inspection, they could easily block them. It's not like it's hard to see them.

I always wondered how the IPs like this 180.101.88.232 from this block: ISP ChinaNet Jiangsu Province Network Domain Name chinatelecom.com.cn Continue to be the source of thousands of ssh password login attempts for years and years on end.

Funny you should mention traffic accidents. When was working in Shanghai years ago I was in two accidents in a taxi in a week. One would have written the car off, smashed half the engine out. I was close to work so just walked the rest of t

So many great rabbit holes in this list. There are several that have blown years of my spare time. My one, at the moment is precision time keeping. Time nuts. I have a pile of oven controlled crystal oscillators, GPSs (even the full Ublox t

I am a developer, FreeCAD is a bit of fun to wrangle a model out as a puzzle but it's not even in the same universe as Fusion360. I'd love to use something like KiCAD is in the EDA world. I highly expect, at any moment, Audodesk t

When he was on FLOSS weekly last week, he was saying it's running on every Android phone. Right there are 3 billion devices running his code.

Well worth a listen BTW, he's a humble guy and seems so nice.

Doing a rudimentary search for some of the faces quickly shows some of them to be as real as the fairy godmother. I find the centre placement of "Max Evans" quite funny: https://generated.photos/faces/right-fa

They killed 346 people just 3 years ago due to badly managed MCAS software testing. I guess I can't disagree as you as years is plural and, try, more than one year ago.

Not to mention how flakey it is at scale. There is always some vmware guy who replies to me saying how good it is, but if you have thousands of VMs it is a random crapshoot. Something you just don't see with say AWS and Azure at simila

Fair call, I didn't see that one. That's a definite fail by the editors.

As the PCB manufacturing industry becomes more accessible to hobbyists and junior engineers through services like JLCPCB and PCBWay, KiCad, despite its limitations compared to professional tools, is gaining popularity. While experienced PCB

Maybe they all have an interview process like that post here yesterday on Canonical or Google, where people do ten interviews, each one trying harder and hard to avoid employing a perfectly qualified application so they can inflate their se

Yep, many of these same ads on seek here in Sydney. I applied for one once and I had a few completely fake interviews that had someone just asking buzzword bingo questions. It was completely senseless until a few searches lead me to what wa

They must have a fast revolving door. I have know so many people who worked there in the last few years but seem to have moved in. Probably depends on the team and the worst ones have a lot of churn.

The taxi laws didn't end up protecting the wages of the drivers. They ended up protecting the rights of the 'plate owners', who, having too much cash, used taxi plates as an investment and rented out the taxis to drivers on a

Also living in Sydney, and catching Uber often. I find the complete opposite. The cars are old and beat up and Ubers are always newish. Taxis are always smelly, Ubers much less so. Maybe my experience is more a result of being closer to the

You forgot dirty and smelly. Specially compared to any Uber. Living in Sydney, I have had few not so clean Ubers, here and there, but nothing compared to how bad taxis are.

A simple search "OpenVPN traffic detection" leads you to many pages on how this is not a thing OpenVPN tries to do and how to detect it. This whole paper is no more notable than a stack overflow question and answer, maybe less tha

The trouble is, often it can't be helped, management, and sometimes whole companies often change hands. In the firm I work at, so far I've survived 4 rounds of massive retrenchments over 3 years due to restructure and more recentl

Maybe I should have said, "simple code is hard to write and complex code is easy to get wrong". As an aside, I'm not going to post an AI generated essay, but pasting that quote into the new Claude gives an essay well worth re

This may have been true back in the times of the applications (when I was also a developer), but, speaking from 40+ years of experience myself. I agree, most significant projects need more than one person. There may be outliers, but back th

They were lucky to get that going. The software support for the USB TPU was abandoned by google years ago now. Works fine if you run ubuntu 16 I think.

Yes, maybe. I was on an international flight last week and they said, over the intercom, that they suggest you keep your seatbelts fastened all the time where possible. Maybe they should play some in flight video of one of these events.
