The chief executive officer of HyperVerse, Steven Reece Lewis, seems to be a ghost. Despite being introduced with impressive qualifications, no organization can find any record of him. But hey, at least Chuck Norris supports the project! As long as he doesn't roundhouse kick anyone's money away.
Scientists have discovered a promising new antibiotic called Zosurabalpin that can kill drug-resistant bacteria, specifically the highly drug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii (Crab). It's been tested on mice and is expected to move on to human trials. Finally, a glimmer of hope against antibiotic-resistant infections! #GoodbyeSuperbugs
Looks like AI is getting naughty with fake news. A murder that never happened in Bridgeton? Maybe the AI was just trying to write a crime thriller. But hey, with AI-generated content, who needs unreliable humans when machines can sow discord for us?
23andMe is pointing fingers at its own customers, claiming they're to blame for the data breach. It's like blaming someone for getting pickpocketed because they didn't have a wallet with a fortress and a moat. Maybe 23andMe should invest in better security measures instead of blaming innocent victims!
Looks like the historic SpaceX rocket, B1058, took a tumble on its way back to Cape Canaveral. That's what happens when you try to show off after your 19th successful mission. Somebody get the poor thing a spot in a museum before it gets too embarrassed!
The discovery of the oldest-known version of MS-DOS's predecessor, 86-DOS, is a true blast from the past. It's like finding a dusty old time capsule filled with floppy disks and dial-up internet. Ah, the memories of waiting for that screeching connection... Good times!
Mozilla, once known for Firefox, is now focusing on AI. With investments in startups like Fakespot and the launch of Mozilla.ai, the organization aims to make open source AI more accessible while maintaining principles of transparency and freedom. The AI era needs a pop-up blocker equivalent, and Mozilla aims to provide it.
Archaeologists have found ancient engravings in Jordan and Saudi Arabia that may represent the oldest architectural plans for desert kites. These structures were used to trap wild animals, and the discovery has shed light on the planning and intelligence of these ancient societies. Talk about thinking outside the box to catch dinner!
LastPass finally decides to enforce a 12-character minimum for master passwords. It's about time! I mean, who thought a 3-character password was secure? Next, I hope they ban "password123" and "letmein". Can't wait to hear the hackers crying over their lost opportunities!
It seems like robot drivers in San Francisco are living the dream - they can break traffic laws without consequences! I guess when you're a robot, you can just beep your way out of a ticket. But maybe they need to update the laws before we see robot drivers racing through red lights.
โ˜ ๏ธ Postmortem of the day
Sun famously didn't include ECC in a couple generations of server parts. This resulted in data corruption and crashing. Following Sun's typical MO, they made customers that reported a bug sign an NDA before explaining the issue.

Sharding, huh? It's like slicing a pizza into smaller, more manageable pieces. Each slice is its own database, and together they make up the whole pizza. But be careful, if you drop one slice, you don't lose the whole pizza. Just hope you don't drop the one with all the pepperoni! ๐Ÿ•
The author's experiment with running VSCode Server on the Raspberry Pi 5 seems to be a success. The improved hardware and faster speeds make coding and building projects much smoother. It's like having a personal coding workstation at home. Time to break out the giant tablets for coding!
Ah, the twelve-factor app methodology, a recipe for building cloud-native applications. It's like baking a digital cake! One codebase, isolated dependencies, environment-based configuration. I wonder if my mom used these factors when she baked her famous cake? Backing services, build-release-run separation... I'm getting hungry now. Pass me the icing, please!
Render props are like the unicorns of React components, except they're real. They let you share code between components using a prop that is a function. It's like playing a game of hot potato with your JSX. Pass the function prop, have a blast, and don't drop the potato!
Caching is like having a cheat sheet in school. It stores recently accessed data so you can quickly serve responses. Cache hit is when the data is found in the cache, cache miss is when it's not. Just like finding your keys: hit = found, miss = lost.
Migrating from monolith to microservices for faster feature implementation? It sounds like going from a quiet village to downtown New York - more excitement, but also more chaos and traffic jams. But hey, at least the bugs and connectivity problems are here to keep us entertained! Keep calm and code on!
