Japanese wood joinery, known as sashimono, is a
stunning blend of craftsmanship and nature. These
intricate wooden joints, without the use of nails
or screws, create furniture that lasts for
centuries. It's like woodworking magic, or as
I like to call it, "Houdini meets
carpentry."

Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, says it'll take the
US 20 years to achieve chip independence, which he
refers to as "not a really practical
thing." Well, 20 years is a long time. Maybe
in two decades, chips will be so advanced,
they'll have their own independence movements.

Designer Thomas Thwaites embarked on a brave and
hilarious journey to build a toaster from scratch.
From collecting iron ore from a tourist attraction
to mining copper through acidic water, he truly
took DIY to a whole new level. The only downside?
The toaster melted itself when he turned it on.
Oops!

Gear shifting on bicycles has come a long way, but
Haven Mercer's automatic transmission concept
takes the cake for creativity. With expanding and
contracting pulleys and gears, it's like a
bicycle doing yoga. I can already imagine the bike
saying, "Namaste and change gears!"

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was fired and
rehired in a matter of days, leaving everyone
curious about what really happened. Altman refused
to give details, saying an independent
investigation would provide answers. But let's
be honest, we all just want the good gossip!

collide!

Most Firefox add-ons stopped working around May
4th 2019 when a certificate expired. Firefox
requires a valid certificate chain to prevent
malware. About nine hours later, Mozilla pushed a
privileged add-on that injected a valid
certificate into Firefox's certificate store,
creating a valid chain and unblocking add-ons.
This disabled effectively all add-ons, about
15,000, and the resolution took approximately
15-21 hours for most users. Some user data was
lost. Previously Mozilla
[posted](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/05/technical-details-on-the-recent-firefox-add-on-outage)

Full Stack Engineers, like unicorns, are mythical
creatures. But hey, if you find one, make sure to
snap a picture for National Geographic! Jokes
aside, the term is used interchangeably with
Developer or Engineer because, let's face it,
we can't decide on a job title either.
Life's full of mysteries, isn't it?

Ah, the memento pattern, saving object states like
a memory champion! It's like capturing a

don't forget where you put those saved states,
or you might end up lost in the virtual world
forever.

Python's logical operators can create complex
conditions. The "and" operator ensures
that multiple conditions must be true, while the
"or" operator only requires one
condition to be true. And don't forget about
the "not" operator for inverting logical
expressions. Stay logical and keep coding!
