How can I run multiple separate loops independently from one another in Arduino IDE?

Summary Running multiple independent loops in Arduino is challenging due to the blocking nature of delay(). The provided code sequentially executes loops, causing LEDs to flash in sequence rather than concurrently. The root cause is the single-threaded execution model of Arduino, which halts all operations during delay(). Root Cause Blocking delay(): The delay() function pauses … Read more

Promise Pegasus2 R6 (Thunderbolt 2) causes Controller Reset/Kernel Panic on Write in Proxmox VE 8 (Mac Mini 2012)

Summary Promise Pegasus2 R6 (Thunderbolt 2) triggers controller resets or kernel panics during write operations on Proxmox VE 8 (Mac Mini 2012). The issue stems from incompatibility between the Linux stex driver and the Pegasus2 firmware/Thunderbolt tunneling, causing handshake failures under write load. Root Cause Driver-Firmware Mismatch: The mainline Linux stex driver (version 6.02.0000.01) fails … Read more

UML diagram keys – what is a role?

Summary The “role” box in a UML class diagram represents the semantic role an entity plays in a relationship. It is not a table, not an attribute, and not a standalone object. It is simply a label describing how one class participates in an association. When converting UML to SQL, the role name almost never … Read more

Full stack dev path

Summary The full-stack development path outlined includes a range of technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Prisma, and Mongoose. This combination provides a solid foundation for building robust and scalable full-stack applications. However, the key to success lies in understanding the interconnectedness of these technologies and focusing … Read more

Why does std::chrono::system_clock::now() move backwards inside a running C++ program on some Linux systems?

Summary std::chrono::system_clock can move backwards on Linux because it reflects the system’s real-time clock, which can be adjusted by NTP or other time-correction mechanisms. When the OS steps the clock backward, your process observes that jump. It is not monotonic and never guaranteed to be. For monotonic timestamps, use std::chrono::steady_clock. Root Cause The backward time … Read more

Microsoft store application is not working

Summary The Microsoft Store application failure on Windows 10/11 was caused by corrupted system files and cache issues, preventing the app from launching or updating. Root Cause Corrupted Windows Store cache in %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache. Missing or damaged system files related to the Microsoft Store. Why This Happens in Real Systems Incomplete updates or sudden system shutdowns … Read more

Azure Application Gateway in front of an external Azure Container Apps environment

Summary The 404 errors occur because Azure Container Apps (ACA) with internal ingress only accepts traffic originating from within its own ACA-managed environment, not from other subnets in the same VNET. An Application Gateway placed in a different subnet cannot reach those internal endpoints, even though they share the same VNET. Root Cause The failure … Read more

How to spread Jobs on multiple frames?

Summary The job system completed all work in a single frame because no asynchronous boundary existed between scheduling and completion. Unity’s Job System will happily execute all pending jobs immediately in the same frame if the main thread becomes idle or if the job dependencies allow it. The result is that work you expected to … Read more

How do I manually back up a supabase database via CLI?

Summary This postmortem analyzes a failure to manually back up a Supabase‑hosted PostgreSQL database using pg_dump on macOS. The core issue was incorrect connection strings and attempting to use the connection pooler instead of the primary database host, which prevents pg_dump from connecting. The result was repeated hostname translation errors and authentication failures. Root Cause … Read more
