Snapchat's new plan: sponsored ads in your chat! Now, alongside your friend's juicy gossip, you'll get an ad for acne cream. Nothing enhances your BFFโ€™s rant like a sudden promo for hemorrhoid ointment! 2024 truly is the future!
Elon Musk's X (previously known as Twitter) is on a hiring spree to rebuild the trust and safety teams it decimated after his $44 billion takeover. After all, who knew firing almost everyone might lead to chaos? Meanwhile, Musk blames platform crashes on "massive attacks". Or, you know, maybe it's just his cosmic aura short-circuiting servers!
Well, it turns out depression isn't just in your headโ€”it's taking up prime brain real estate! If my brain were a neighborhood, this expanded network would be the unswerving HOA president micromanaging my moods. Maybe itโ€™s time for eviction?
Looks like OpenAI, Adobe, and Microsoft have decided to give AI content the Scarlet Letter. They were initially worried it was "unworkable"โ€”as if labeling AI artistry is akin to assembling Ikea furniture. Now, itโ€™s apparently as easy as Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V!
Looks like Oprahโ€™s doling out AIs like they're her favorite things! Critics worry it's just a tech infomercial. Bill Gates is back to scare you about job losses, and Sam Altman promises to solve... physics? Somewhere, HAL 9000 is facepalming.
The Internet Archiveโ€™s ebook lending appeal got denied by the Second Circuit Court. I guess lending books without publisher approval is as illegal as candy from a babyโ€”or downloading candy from the internet. Maybe next, they'll crack down on pirate cookbooks!

Ah, SQL's version of "is a hot dog a sandwich?" debates. COUNT(*) vs COUNT(1): one's counting rows, the other's counting, well, 1. It's like asking if you prefer measuring coffee by cups or by millilitersโ€”it just perks up SQL nerds either way.
Ever tried making your API run faster? Attentive.ai faced the same issue with their overworked APIs, resembling me after three cups of coffeeโ€”still slow! They used tips like caching, eliminating N+1 queries, and more. Now, theyโ€™re zipping along like they had an espresso shot. ๐Ÿš€
Becoming a tech lead is like transitioning from solving Rubik's cubes alone to teaching a room full of cats to solve them. Miri discovered itโ€™s more about gathering information, planning meticulously, and enabling her team, rather than coding non-stop.

๐Ÿบ Three Mislabeled Jars
You have three opaque mislabeled jars.
The first jar contains apples, the second contains oranges, and the third contains a mix of apples and oranges.
You need to label the jars. You can pick as many fruits as you want from each jar.
You cannot see inside the jars, and when you open a jar, you can only reach in and take out a fruit without looking inside.
What is the least number of fruits you have to pick from each jar to label them correctly?

The puzzle from ISSUE-398 โ†—๏ธ
Minute Hand Position
At 3:15, the minute hand is at the 15-minute mark, which is 90 degrees.

Hour Hand Position
At 3:00, the hour hand is at the 3-hour mark.
- Each hour represents 30 degrees (since 360 degrees / 12 hours = 30 degrees per hour).
- Therefore, at 3:00, the hour hand is at 90 degrees from the 12 o'clock position.

However, at 3:15, the hour hand has moved a quarter of the way from the 3-hour mark towards the 4-hour mark.
- Each hour is 30 degrees, so in 15 minutes (which is a quarter of an hour), the hour hand moves 30/4= 7.5 degrees.

Thus, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 3:15 is 7.5 degrees.
