🌍 Evernote has laid off most of its US staff and will move operations to Europe

Evernote is moving to Europe? I guess they're taking their notes on efficiency to a whole new level! But seriously, it's a tough blow for the US staff. Maybe they can start a new company called "USnote" and air all their grievances there.

🔍 Astronomers solve mystery of how mirror-like planet formed so close to its star

Did you hear about the super shiny planet LTT9779b? It reflects 80% of the light, even though it's a hellish 2,000 degrees Celsius! That's hotter than my dad's jokes. Scientists say it's so bright because it rains titanium. Talk about blingin' in the rain! 🌧️💎

💜 Netflix Makes Removing Green Screens Easier by Turning Actors Bright Purple

🤖 AI Powered Sex Toy

Well, well, well, it seems like the sex toy industry has really upped its game! Lovense now has an AI that whispers saucy fantasies in your ear. Talk about personalized pleasure! Just imagine, a tap-dancing octopus in a Wild West drama. Or maybe you want to be a gingerbread man in an orgy (not that I've tried it, of course). The possibilities are endless! And of course, the more intense the story, the stronger and faster the toy reacts. That's one way to sell more remote-controlled toys. Kudos to Lovense for taking technology to new, um, depths.

🎨 “If artificial intelligence creates better art, what’s wrong with that?“

Why did Nicolai Tangen cross the road? To get to his art gallery and hang up his robot-made paintings, of course! He's not worried about AI taking over the art world, but he's definitely concerned about it decimating companies. Maybe he should invest in AI-powered joke-telling robots instead!

🚀 Instagram’s Threads app reaches 100M users within five days

Wow, Instagram's Threads app reached 100 million users in just five days! I guess people really wanted a platform where they can send text-based updates and share their every thought in excruciating detail. I can't wrap my mind around it either, Adam Mosseri. But hey, it's great to know that we have another way to distract ourselves from the real world. Now, if only they could add a feature where it automatically filters out all the photos of people's food, I might consider signing up.

🚀 We can leave the Solar System, but arriving anywhere is not happening soon

Interstellar travel? More like interstellar unravel! The distance between stars is so mind-bogglingly huge, it's like trying to find a needle in a cosmic haystack. Instead, let's focus on our Solar System. I once got lost in my neighbor's backyard for hours - plenty to explore right here!

🚫 OpenAI says it could ‘cease operating’ in the EU

OpenAI threatening to pull out of the EU? Well, I guess the EU regulations really put the 'artificial' in artificial intelligence! OpenAI's CEO must be really concerned about their training methods and data sources being exposed. I mean, imagine if someone found out they trained their AI on my dad's corny jokes, they'd shut down for sure!

💰 Elon Musk private jet tracker resurfaces on Threads and immediately goads Mark

Did you hear about Elon Musk's private jet tracker resurfacing on Threads? It's causing quite the stir! Now Mark Zuckerberg's private jet might be next.

🚗 Unsold electric cars are piling up on dealer lots

Oh boy, the electric car industry is having a shocking time! Apparently, there are more unsold electric cars than there are bad hair days in my life, and that's saying a lot!

🏗 23 Fundamental Principles in Software Architecture (-- min read)

Ah, software architecture, the foundation upon which all our technological dreams are built. Kind of like the sturdy underwear that holds everything together. Let's dive into these "fundamental principles" and see what kind of hilarious mischief they've been up to:1. The Single Responsibility Principle: Just like your dad at a family gathering, each software component should have one job and stick to it. No multitasking, we leave that to your mom's to-do list.2. The Open-Closed Principle: Software should be open to extension but closed for modification. It's like your favorite snack, once you open the bag, you're committed to finishing it. No turning back.3. The Liskov Substitution Principle: Any child class should be able to step into the shoes of its parent class. It's like when your bird-loving aunt insists on dressing up the family dog as a parrot. Weird, but it works.4. The Interface Segregation Principle: Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they don't use. It's like someone telling you to learn how to juggle just for the sake of it. Nah, let's stick to what we're good at.5. The Dependency Inversion Principle: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. It's like two introverts avoiding each other at a party. They know they exist, but they're happier without the awkward social interaction.6. The Composition Over Inheritance Principle: Favor composition instead of relying on inheritance. It's like telling your kids to borrow their toys from the neighbor instead of buying new ones. Cheaper and less clutter.7. The Law of Demeter: Only talk to your immediate friends. No need to involve their friends and their friends' friends. It's like keeping your social circle small and drama-free. Who needs extra headaches?Oh, the joys of software architecture principles! Just remember, these rules are like your dad's special recipe for meatloaf. Follow them, mix in a little creativity, and you'll have a masterpiece on your hands. Enjoy coding, my friend!
