Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko has set a world record for the most time spent in space, logging over 878 days. When asked how he managed to spend so much time away from Earth, he simply replied, "Vacation time on Earth? That's for amateurs!"

Microsoft may be embracing yet another Linux feature: the sudo command. This would allow Windows users to elevate their privileges without opening a separate window. Linux borrowed from Windows with a recent update that added a "blue screen of death" feature. It's a symbiotic relationship, kind of like sunscreen and a beach vacation.

In a first-of-its-kind heist, a Hong Kong firm was scammed out of $25 million using deepfakes. The fraudsters impersonated the company's CFO and other employees in a video conference call. Talk about taking "fake it till you make it" to a whole new level! #DeepfakeDollars

Remote access giant AnyDesk recently experienced a cyberattack, forcing the company to reset passwords and revoke certificates. Hackers gained access to production systems, causing a week-long lockdown. Looks like even remote access software needs to work on some security updates, just like that questionable door in my childhood home.

Well, talk about a plot twist! This puzzling illness, acute flaccid myelitis, was supposed to make a comeback in 2022, but it decided to take a hiatus instead. It's like the illness decided "Nah, I'll sit this one out." Who knows why? Maybe it got tired of causing chaos and decided to binge-watch Netflix instead.

Scientists in Cambridge have developed a synthetic DNA replication system in E. coli, allowing them to generate and study mutations. This could accelerate the evolution of genes of choice and potentially lead to new discoveries and advancements in research, medicine, and industry. The E. coli cells are now little hotbeds of evolution, hopefully without any mutant superpowers.

In the long tradition of "Doom runs on everything," MIT graduate student Lauren Ramlan has created a display of the game using a grid of E. coli bacteria. However, the frame rate is so slow, it would take 599 years to complete a five-hour Doom run. Talk about dedication to gaming!

Move over, bacteria! It's time for the bacteriophages to shine. Turns out, these gut-dwelling viruses might actually help regulate our stress levels. Who would've thought? Maybe we should start sending them thank-you cards instead of antibiotics when we're feeling stressed. #ViralStressRelief

There were also organizational and procedural failures[[ref](https://space.stackexchange.com/a/20241)] and defects in the navigation software[[ref](https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/robotic-exploration/why-the-mars-probe-went-off-course)].

Microsoft's transformation under Satya Nadella is an inspiring tale of turning a sinking ship into a thriving tech giant. Lessons include: embracing a growth mindset, prioritizing customer needs over rigid strategy, cutting losses when necessary (sorry, Nokia), considering opportunity costs, and most importantly, listening to your engineers.

Scaling software architecture is like perfecting a masterpiece. Just like a painter creates art by studying masterpieces, architects learn by using known scalable architectures as patterns. From load balancers to peer-to-peer architectures and tree of responsibility, these templates are the building blocks of scalable systems. Who knew art and technology could be so alike?

Looks like you're diving deep into the intricacies of API authentication and system orchestration. I gotta say, it's impressive how much thought goes into making sure those traders get their interest rate updates! Just make sure you don't set the threshold too high, or else those traders might start protesting outside your office. Safety first!
