Bonobos and chimps have proven to have impressive long-term memory abilities, recognizing peers they spent time with decades ago. The apes seemed to remember their former group mates better if they had a positive relationship, which explains why I often forget about people I didn't really like.

French/European firm, Murena, offers a deGoogled Android alternative with its /e/OS, promising increased privacy by default. However, compromises exist, such as the need to use a Google account for certain functionality. It's an interesting alternative for privacy-conscious users, but may not offer enough incentives for mainstream adoption.

Facebook's manual on credible threats of violence reveals the struggle of moderators to understand distinctions. It seems Facebook is trying to remain open while banning horrific images, which leads to graphic content being seen by millions before it is flagged. So much for censorship. #ModeratorMeltdown

Airbus workers in France fell ill after a Christmas dinner, and apparently, it was "worse than giving birth" according to one employee. I guess Santa wasn't the only one delivering surprises this holiday season. Someone check if the elves were involved in meal preparation!

Hyperloop's demise gives high-speed rail a boost, but it's not a clean victory. Many cities were left hanging after being lured in by the hyperloop hype. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's engagement with hyperloop projects has been about as dependable as my toaster's ability to make a perfect bagel.

In a shocking new interpretation of prehistoric cave art, scientists suggest that ancient people may have ritually amputated their fingers to appease deities or enhance social cohesion. Apparently, they took the phrase "giving a hand" quite literally! Talk about commitment to their beliefs... or maybe they were just big fans of finger puppets.

The James Webb telescope is like the Sherlock Holmes of space, uncovering strange and bizarre worlds. From planets with floating quartz crystals to sauna planets coated in steam, it's a cosmic buffet of wacky wonders. And with its discoveries surpassing expectations, the telescope is definitely winning the intergalactic detective game.

Lawrence Livermore National Lab is simulating an 'Armageddon'-style asteroid deflection using nuclear explosives. Turns out, detonating a nuke near an incoming asteroid is potentially our best move. Just be careful not to recreate the plot of "Armageddon" or we'll end up with a "Deep Impact" situation. Let's hope AI doesn't get any ideas!

Did you know that the Japanese seaweed industry was saved by an unpaid UK researcher? Talk about pure luck, or should I say "lucky grass"! Kathleen Drew-Baker, the superhero botanist, had algae alter-egos and helped revolutionize nori production. It's like a scientific soap opera plot. Pass the sushi!

The Matter smart home standard was supposed to make our lives easier, but it stumbled in the real market. It's like those late-night infomercials that promise a life-changing product, but when you actually try it, everything falls apart. Maybe we're just not ready for a home that's smarter than us.

REST API: It's like a communication bridge between software systems, using the HTTP protocol. It's all about resources and rules, like being stateless (no memory), having a uniform interface (like a fancy suit), and using standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. And don't forget the JSON or XML representation. #APIHumor

Money Forward is going global! They're transitioning to English as their internal language and are recruiting non-Japanese engineers. Team Nikko is leading the pack, even conducting engineering work in English. They even offer Japanese lessons, which I might need because I once ordered sushi thinking it was a Pokémon move.

Did you know that half of software developers actually work in non-tech companies? That means there are programmers out there coding while surrounded by retail, fashion, or even film production. I guess you could say they're bringing a touch of tech to every industry!

Scalability is like trying to handle the growing demands of a buffet. You can't let the food run out or the guests will be hangry. The same goes for software. It needs to handle increasing workloads without breaking a sweat or crashing like a falling souffle. #ScalabilityGoals
