Apparently they didn’t even use Starlink for this, they were using 3g cellular. His production team bonded six modems together to increase bandwidth. Radio is pretty cool

Does anyone know why the Danish Frogman Corps uniform had to go so hard?

Message Queues & Event-Driven Patterns are the backbone of every scalable modern system - Netflix, Uber, and Atlassian all run on them. Most engineers know the basics (“just throw a queue in there”), but interviewers destroy you with the deep follow-ups: “How do you guarantee exactly-once processing when a Kafka broker dies mid-replay?” “How do you handle poison messages without crashing your entire consumer fleet?” “What happens to your Sagas during a partial failure at 50k events/sec?” These 20 must-know Message Queues & Event-Driven Patterns take you from high-level overview to production-grade depth that actually ships reliably at scale. Save this thread. Read till the end.

Ugh the japs are better than us at everything

Kubernetes Service Discovery Clearly Explained !!! Every Pod in Kubernetes gets its own IP. Sounds great… until it breaks your system. In a Deployment, you don’t run just one Pod. You run multiple replicas: pod-1 → 10.0.0.1 pod-2 → 10.0.0.2 pod-3 → 10.0.0.3 Each Pod has its own IP. So far, so good. Now imagine another service wants to call this app. What should it use? 10.0.0.1? 10.0.0.2? 10.0.0.3? There’s no single stable address. Already a problem. Now it gets worse. Pods are ephemeral. If a Pod dies: it is deleted a new Pod is created with a completely NEW IP Example: old pod → 10.0.0.2 ❌ new pod → 10.0.0.9 ✅ Your system is now pointing to a dead IP. So the real problem is: 👉 Pod IPs are dynamic 👉 Clients need a stable way to connect Without that, service-to-service communication is unreliable. This is exactly what Kubernetes Services solve. Instead of pointing to Pods directly, you create a Service. And here’s the key idea: 👉 You don’t connect to Pods 👉 You connect to a logical group of Pods How does Kubernetes know which Pods belong to that group? Using: labels & selectors Pods are tagged with labels: labels: app: user-service The Service defines a selector: selector: app: user-service That’s it. This simple mapping connects them. Now Kubernetes keeps track of: “All Pods with label app=user-service belong to this Service” Even if Pods die or restart or scale up/down, The mapping is always updated. And the Service gives you a stable entry point: a fixed IP (ClusterIP) a DNS name So clients just call: 👉 user-service Not individual Pods. Behind the scenes Service finds matching Pods via labels traffic is routed to one of them, dead Pods are automatically removed, new Pods are automatically added No manual updates. So the transformation is: ❌ Before: Call fragile Pod IPs that keep changing ✅ After: Call a stable Service that tracks Pods dynamically If you remember one thing: Kubernetes doesn’t make Pods stable. It makes access to Pods stable. That’s the real purpose of a Service. Not just load balancing. But solving the “changing IP” problem elegantly.

The blue shirts that GT players wore on Gujarat Day celebrations aren’t just your regular shirts. They’re Tangaliya (તાગળિયાં), a 700-year-old handloom craft from Gujarat. Handwoven, GI-tagged, rooted in heritage. Even Brad Pitt wore it in the movie, F1 (2025). From Gujarat’s Surendranagar to Hollywood and now in IPL. Aava de 💙⚡

crazy how this might still be the best tech logo of all time

Rafa Nadal won the 2022 French Open with his left foot completely numb. His doctor had been injecting anesthetic into the nerves before every match, for two solid weeks. After one of those matches he couldn’t walk, and his father had to carry him to the hotel. That was his 14th French Open title. No tennis player, male or female, has ever won the same tournament that many times. His career record at the French Open was 112 wins, 4 losses. That 96.6% win rate is the highest by any player at any major in history. Only three men ever beat him in Paris: Söderling in 2009, Djokovic twice, and Alexander Zverev in his final appearance in 2024. The forehand that powered all of it spins faster than a washing machine on spin cycle. About 3,200 rotations per minute on average, peaking at 5,000. Federer’s spins at 2,500. Sampras and Agassi were at 1,800. Nadal’s ball spins about 80 times in the time it takes to cross the court. The condition in his foot is called Müller-Weiss syndrome. It is a rare disease where a small bone in the middle of the foot slowly collapses. He has had it since 2005. There’s no cure. He once said he doesn’t remember what playing without pain feels like. He retired last November in tears, after Spain lost a Davis Cup quarter-final to the Netherlands. Across 23 years he won 22 Grand Slams, 92 tour titles, and 1,080 of his 1,308 singles matches. He held the world number one ranking for 209 weeks and earned $134.9 million in prize money. The Netflix series drops May 29, in the middle of this year’s French Open. He turns 40 five days later. The tagline is “A Life Beyond Limits.” That was the job description of a tennis career he played, for years, on a foot doctors said could not hold up.
