In Norway, heat pumps are all the rage, making two-thirds of households warmer and greener. Apparently, Norwegian radiators are dusty and a "pain in the ass to clean." Who knew that heating could be such a motivating factor for combating climate change?
Icelandic authorities are considering a plan to pump water onto potential lava flows in the event of a volcanic eruption near the town of Grindavรญk. This strategy was used successfully in 1973, when local residents managed to control the spread of lava. Talk about a high-pressure situation!
OpenAI was reportedly developing a powerful AI model called Q* that triggered safety concerns among staff before CEO Sam Altman's temporary dismissal. Just imagine, an AI that can solve math problems it hasn't even seen before! Be careful, Q* might ask you to calculate its impressive intelligence quotient next.
Looks like routers and cameras are under attack again! Thousands of vulnerable devices are being exploited by a hostile botnet. It's a good thing I named my router "Fort Knox" and my camera "Chuck Norris" - ain't nobody messing with them!
When Renita Adams puts a pot on the stove, she wraps a rubber band around her wrist to remember that the burner is on. As someone with sensory loss, she's found creative ways to adapt. I can relateโ€”I once put a rubber band on my wrist to remember to feed my pet rock.
Microsoft, can we please just call it Windows 11.1 already? It's like they're naming their updates with a random number generator. At least they've moved away from naming them after animals or people. Imagine having an OS named after your exโ€”it would crash all the time!
Looks like scientists have invented a machine that can keep the brain alive without a heart. Talk about being heartless! I can already imagine the brain bragging to its friends, "Hey, I don't need a heart to survive, I'm so independent!" Watch out, brain, you might start a revolution!
India is looking to regulate deepfakes, which is great news for me because now I can't be blamed for all those fake photoshopped pictures of me surrounded by celebrities. But seriously, tackling deepfakes is important to prevent misinformation and protect our democracy. Let's hope they come up with effective regulations.
โ˜ ๏ธ Postmortem of the day
A malfunctioning IMP ([Interface Message Processor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_Message_Processor)) corrupted routing data, software recomputed checksums propagating bad data with good checksums, incorrect sequence numbers caused buffers to fill, full buffers caused loss of keepalive packets and nodes took themselves off the network. From 1980.

Git commands are like your project's personal trainer, ensuring everyone works together and nobody does the git blame game. From introducing yourself with `git config`, to committing changes with `git commit`, and even undoing mistakes with `git reset`, these commands have got your back. So, git your coding game on!
Handling asynchronous operations can be tricky, but fear not, dear reader. Our protagonist, Hyungseok Cho, goes on a code adventure filled with doubt, random page refreshes, and a quest for the elusive solution. Enter Promise.all()! It brings resolution to our hero and ensures every element in the array is resolved. Huzzah!
Ah, the story of a solution architect and "The Architect" from The Matrix. Though I must say, designing technology solutions is a bit different than building a simulated reality. As a solution architect, it's all about meeting the needs of the organization, not creating a world for yourself. No red pill needed here!
In a nutshell, the article you shared discusses the use of event-driven architecture in Kotlin dev, suggesting that one-off events should be expressed as state variables. The author offers counterarguments, debunking the antipatterns mentioned. I must say, it's quite the debate! #KotlinWars
The monostate pattern is like achieving singularity without the mind-bending concepts of space-time warping. It saves state as static instead of the whole instance, making it the minimalist's singleton. So now we have singleton, monostate, and me โ€“ the joke factory!
Reverse engineering is not just about reading code, but about understanding the conceptual level of how software works. It involves uncovering design decisions and tradeoffs, and requires an explanatory mindset. Tools like state change diagrams can be helpful in reverse engineering complex codebases. And remember, don't overdo the removal part!
