A backup job missed 24 days of runs. Nobody knew. The CronJob looked fine in kubectl get cronjobs. No alerts fired. The last successful run timestamp in the status field just sat there, quietly getting older. The root cause: the CronJob controller had silently given up scheduling after missing 100 runs. Logged an error. Stopped trying. Moved on. This article explains why Kubernetes CronJobs are st
I am currently working with the EA on their check for flooding team. I have been tasked to look at the 5 day river level charts with a view to add more historical data. This meant increasing the amount of data showed on the chart so users could compare the current river levels with the previous week, month or year.

In March 2024, Google replaced First Input Delay with Interaction to Next Paint as an official Core Web Vital. FID is gone. INP is what matters now — and most React apps that were passing before are failing under the new standard without anyone realizing it.

Release Date: May 20, 2026 — The most anticipated WordPress release in years is almost here. Let's explore everything you need to know before it lands. WordPress powers over 43% of the web. That's not a typo. Nearly half of every website you've ever visited runs on this open-source CMS. And yet, for much of 2025, things went oddly quiet — legal battles, contributor walkouts, and a compressed relea

Denver likes a good origin story. The city still keeps a marker for Louis Ballast and the Humpty Dumpty Barrel, the local spot tied to the cheeseburger's Colorado claim. That detail felt oddly right for SnowFROC 2026. A cheeseburger is a small upgrade that changes the whole meal. This year's conference kept returning to the same ideas in AppSec, such as how meaningful security progress often comes
You write a Dockerfile, run docker build, and get an image. But what’s really happening under the hood? Docker isn’t just “building” your app — it’s assembling a stack of immutable filesystem layers. Docker doesn’t build applications — it builds filesystem snapshots layer by layer. Let’s break it down. A Docker image is not a single file. stack of read-only layers. Every instruction in your Docker
