Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale

news.ycombinator.com Sascha Pare 2025-10-25 14:53:39

Hurricane Florence made landfall in South Carolina in September 2018. It was a Category 1 hurricane, but the devastating flooding that followed killed 55 people. A new hurricane categorization system could help people better prepare for storms by incorporating risks from storm surges and rainfall into the categories, a study published this month reveals. Storm surges — elevated seawater levels near coasts — and rainfall cause almost 80% of hurricane deaths, yet they are not accounted for in th

Running our Docker registry on-prem with Harbor

As of early 2025, we’re deploying all of our applications with Kamal using Docker as our containerization platform. The container registry that holds our app images is one of the most integral pieces of our deployment pipeline. Like many organizations, we’d been using external container registries for years. Our ecosystem was tightly coupled to both Dockerhub and Amazon’s Elastic Container Registry. However, as part of our cloud exit and kamalization journey, several issues started emerging:

‘Injustice 3’ is Coming—What Will DC Do With It?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-25 12:00:02

Nearly 10 years ago, NetherRealm released Injustice 2, the second game in its DC superhero fighting series. (And it’s the third superhero fighting game, beginning with 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and rebooting the story of Mortal Kombat, it seems NetherRealm is going back to superheroic punch-ups, as Green Lantern and Aquaman voice actor Phil LaMaar reportedly told a fan at a recent convention a third game is happening. This will come as little surprise to anyone pay

TikTok is taking another step towards becoming more than just a platform for infinitely scrolling through short videos.

According to a TikTok spokesperson, these features will roll out in the next few weeks. As voice messaging has risen in popularity, TikTok will embrace the trend but is capping the length of its voice notes to one minute. For images an

Can cheaper lasers handle short distances?

news.ycombinator.com Bryon Moyer 2025-10-22 12:28:55

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already drive short fiber links. But efforts are underway to further scale them down to provide more connections through waveguides than fiber can provide. “We have seen the transition from long haul to metro-to-local area networks and then into the data center,” said Suresh Jayaraman, senior director fo

What Tech Jobs Don’t Drug Test? That Might Depend

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-25 14:20:51

Workers who live in states where cannabis is legal often face a conundrum. Can they continue using a substance deemed by lawmakers to be fit for public consumption, even if they may have an employer who might drug test? Or do they avoid it all together, because they don’t know what their employer’s drug policy is? And does that policy include only “hard” drugs like cocaine, opioids or methamphetamines, or does it test for cannabis too? These days, the answer is a lot more flexible than it was

No, a Windows update probably didn’t brick your SSD

For the last week or two, reports have been circulating that recent Windows 11 updates (specifically KB5063878 and KB5062660) were causing some SSDs using Phison controllers to fail. Tech influencers on YouTube and TikTok were quick to jump on the reports of corrupted data and disappearing drives, laying the blame squarely at Microsoft’s feet.

It’s time for Apple to revive one of its discontinued iPad accessories

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-25 16:18:00

A few years ago, Apple used to have a much simpler iPad keyboard lineup. It just offered a Smart Keyboard for each of their iPad models, and they all essentially served as the same product. Nowadays, after the introduction of trackpad support in iPadOS and the Magic Keyboard, everything is unnecessarily convoluted – with each iPad model having a slightly different Magic Keyboard and varying features. While the keyboard lineup is a mess, that’s not what I take issue with right now – it’s the fac
