Musk’s faster path to more gas turbines comes with pollution problem

Elon Musk says a secretive new SpaceX foundry will let him cast his own turbine blades and get gas power online 18 months faster than anyone else — but it's a bet on a fuel source that's already triggering lawsuits and health studies everywhere his (and others') turbines have gone in.

Decoding an Amortization Schedule: How to Audit a Mortgage Calculator's Output Row by Row

Most engineers and analysts treat a mortgage calculator as a black box: enter three numbers, get a monthly payment back, walk away. When something looks wrong on a loan estimate, the instinct is to suspect the bank, the broker, or the tool itself — without a way to verify which one. This article takes the opposite approach. It treats the calculator's full amortization schedule as a dataset you can audit, and lays out a practical checklist for spotting inconsistencies, reconciling the output agai...

Tell Me About You

After sixty-seven published posts here, the comments have become one of the best parts of the work. Some of you have run my code, found things I missed, challenged a claim, or brought me a project of your own. I also want to distinguish bots from real people. I know some of you by the exact problem we were discussing. I still do not know what many of you are building, learning, enjoying, or trying to become outside that thread. So this post is different. I am going to introduce myself firs...

The 2:1 Setup That Paid Out at 0.75:1

This is one from a bot I run myself, not a client audit — but the same shape shows up often enough in code I review that it's worth writing up on its own. "Backtest looked fine, live looks worse" usually gets diagnosed as slippage or a broken exit. This one wasn't either. The stop-loss and take-profit fired exactly where they were supposed to. The problem was one line above that: what "reward" and "risk" actually meant once real costs were counted. What the setup was supposed to be ...

Native CORS support on GKE Gateway: Offloading cross-origin policy management to infrastructure

Web browsers enforce the Same-Origin Policy by default to protect users from malicious scripts trying to read data across distinct origins. However, modern application architectures almost always require cross-origin communication. Single-page applications, mobile clients, and embedded web components regularly fetch data and stream AI model inferences across separate domains, subdomains, and ports. To allow these interactions safely, applications must implement Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (...

Retries didn't make GitHub resilient. They DDoS'd it.

A capacity blip at GitHub resulted in an outage that lasted 7 hours and 47 minutes. The infrastructure recovered faster than the clients let it. 😬 What actually happened GitHub experienced issues on August 17, 2026, from 13:28 to 21:15 UTC. Users were facing problems with Git operations, Actions, Issues, PRs, and Copilot. The error rate for Web and API traffic was around 20%, while for archive and raw-content downloads it was approximately 50%. The root cause of the issue was alm...

Week 11 of #100DaysOfCode: Learning and Building Microservices with Spring Boot

Introduction This week has been another challenging but rewarding part of my #100DaysOfCode journey. I moved from learning Microservices Architecture and related architectural styles into the more practical side of building Microservices with Spring Boot . I explored Spring WebFlux, Reactive Streams, RabbitMQ, OAuth2, CORS, Swagger, and Spring Boot Actuator , while also learning about security, messaging, monitoring, and asynchronous communication. I also started building and ...

Why Salesforce? Where Technology Meets Business

As a software developer , I have always been interested in the point where technology stops being just code and starts solving a business problem . That is one of the reasons Salesforce interests me now. Salesforce is not simply a CRM platform . It is an ecosystem where customer data, business processes, automation, applications, analytics and increasingly artificial intelligence can come together . For someone with a technical background and experience across ...

175 Items Marked Done, Zero Delivered: An AI Agent Queue Incident

Originally published at aideazz.xyz — cross-posted here with canonical link. A newly added data source ran on schedule for a full day, logged a healthy count every hour, and delivered nothing at all downstream. The system reported success, but the output queue was empty. This was not a silent failure; it was a loud success that produced nothing. The root cause was a dedup ledger stamping items as handled before a processing cap was applied. My AI agent queue incident meant 175 items were ...
