One pod, four load balancers, seven hours forty-seven
GitHub's August 17 outage lasted 7h47m. The chain: an Istio sidecar nobody was scaling, four HAProxy nodes, a shared auth path, then a VS Code bug that retried ten times too hard during recovery.
Quitting Tailwind by copying it
Eight years after celebrating a way to write CSS without writing CSS, Julia Evans moved her sites back to hand-structured stylesheets, copying Tailwind's own systems along the way.
A £41 badge knows when you should run for the bus
Marcio Lopes turned a Pimoroni Badger 2350 e-ink badge into a live departures board for his London bus stop: no API key, no account, roughly a week per charge.
Can a man page be its own cheat sheet?
Julia Evans asked people for their favorite man pages, then tried rewriting one. The exercise looks like reverse engineering: each organizational convention says something about the program underneath.
Julia Evans is rediscovering why frameworks exist: remove a hundred small frictions
QuerySets, template filters and migrations show Julia Evans why Django removes repetitive work, until one forgotten cache setting exposes the price of hidden conventions.
This Solar Panel Doesn't Follow the Sun. It Scans the Sky
This printable solar tracker does not merely calculate where the Sun should be: it explores 135 orientations, measures the panel and picks the best one.
This retro console needs no soldering. The hard part just moved
No custom PCB and no soldering does not mean no integration: Zalmotek's UNO Q console moves the work into I2C, Linux, DSI and kiosk software.
This virtual body can be dissected because its physics are deliberately fake
Dissectible Anatomy cuts, tears and removes organs in real time. Purdue gets there by choosing visually plausible mechanics instead of physically accurate tissue simulation.
OpenRX shows exactly what a 10 mm antenna choice costs in range
Four receivers share the same ExpressLRS core, then add an external antenna, dual-band RF and a second radio. A 5.3 km test measures what each compromise buys.
