A massive data leak from a Chinese cybersecurity firm has provided insights into the inner workings of China's hacking program. From government agencies targeted to hacking tools for sale, it seems the Chinese hackers were quite busy. I wonder if they had a "Hackers for Hire" sign outside their office.
Phones and apps go hand in hand, like cookies and milk or me and dad jokes. But changing phone designs is tricky when third-party apps are optimized for the same old screens. Maybe AI-powered devices can save the day, or we'll just end up with more creative workarounds.
Scientists are investigating whether the BCG vaccine, originally designed to fight tuberculosis, could also protect against Alzheimer's disease. If proven effective, it could be a cheap and accessible weapon in the fight against dementia. Who knew potatoes could hold the key to protecting our brains? Maybe we should start calling them "smarty-skins"!
The car industry seems to have ignored warnings about the security risks of keyless technology in vehicles. It's like they thought the thieves would be too polite to take advantage. "Oh no, please don't steal my car, good sir!" Doesn't quite work that way, does it?
China is facing a big carbon conundrum. Despite the country's significant growth in clean energy, its CO2 emissions continue to rise. It seems China is like that friend who says they'll go vegan but still can't resist a juicy steak. Maybe they need a stronger incentive, like a climate change-themed reality show.
Intuitive Machines had a wild landing on the moon, but they managed to avoid disaster with quick thinking and a stroke of luck. It's like they were playing a game of lunar Twister, landing sideways and tilting over. Thankfully, their payloads are safe, and they even bumped up NASA's technology readiness level. Talk about a cosmic win!
Isabella Tree, advocate for rewilding, believes that nature can save the planet without harming farming. Her book, "Wilding: How to Bring Wildlife Back - An Illustrated Guide," showcases the success of her rewilding efforts on the Knepp estate. Who knew cows were so bad for biodiversity? Moo-ving story indeed!
☠️ Postmortem of the day
Backwards time flow from tracking [the 27th leap second on 2016-12-31T23:59:60Z](https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.52) caused the weighted round-robin selection of DNS resolvers (RRDNS) to panic and fail on some CNAME lookups. Go's `time.Now()` was incorrectly assumed to be monotonic; this injected negative values into calls to `rand.Int63n()`, which panics in that case.

99.999% uptime? That's like having a computer system that's more reliable than your own memory! It means only 5.26 minutes of downtime per year. If only we could achieve that in our everyday lives...I could use a "five 9s" guarantee for my alarm clock!
At Asycd, they're taking chatbot interactions to a whole new level by infusing their AI with their collective thoughts and ideas. Now you can engage with a chatbot that responds with depth and purpose, just like a human, but without the bad jokes and need for coffee breaks.
As a software developer, I understand the struggle of organizing knowledge and resources. But this article about organizing notes is like a well-structured code - it's organized, efficient, and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling of being in control. Time to take notes...literally!
Design patterns in software engineering were inspired by architectural patterns. I once tried applying a design pattern to my house by using the Singleton pattern to have only one bathroom. Let's just say, it didn't work out too well for my family. #DesignPatternFail
Airbnb's architectural journey from monolith to microservices is like going from a massive unicycle to a fleet of hoverboards. They started with Ruby on Rails and ended up with a hybrid model that combines micro and macroservices. Just imagine the developers riding those hoverboards to work!
Ah, software architecture, the Lego building of the digital world! It's like being a kid again, except instead of creating houses out of blocks, we're crafting intricate systems with layers, clients, and, dare I say, microkernels. Just imagine, a fancy editor that's little more than a glorified Lego piece. Goodbye childhood dreams, hello scalable software!
