I indexed 17,341 polynomial fan curves in Postgres and matched a duty point in <100ms

Most B2B HVAC catalogs publish fan performance curves as scanned PDFs. Engineers do the interpolation by eye when they need to know "will this fan deliver 5,000 m³/h at 350 Pa?" — they overlay the operating point on the curve image and squint. I wanted a catalog where the curves compute. Here's what that took. TL;DR I parsed 17,341 fan curves from manufacturer PDFs into 3rd-degree pol...

SHIFT: The Third Time I Tried Convergence

In 2013 I bought an Ubuntu Phone. Not because I needed a new phone, but because the demos kept showing one specific thing: plug the phone into a monitor, and it became a desktop. Same device, same apps, no second OS. I wanted that to be real. I didn't just buy one. I was twenty, and I started writing to OEMs and ODMs, asking for datasheets and reference devices, half-convinced I could port a conv...

Introducing KAlert.js — A Lightweight Modern Alert Dialog Library for JavaScript 🚀 While working on my frontend projects, I often needed a clean and modern alternative to the default browser alert dialogs.

If you've used Probo or any "opinion trading" app during an IPL match, you know the experience: the next over hasn't even started and you're buying YES at ₹3 that India will hit a six. Three balls later, your YES is worth ₹7 because the bowler has just been hit for two boundaries. You sell. You make ₹4 in 90 seconds. This is a real-time prediction market. Underneath the breezy UX is one of the ha...
