With the rise of internet and increasing risks of getting hacked, it's more than necessary nowadays that we have an extra layer of security on our accounts, since password alone is not enough. Thus, using Phone numbers for 2FA sounds much more secure, but phone numbers are considered to be much more personal than Emails and most people hestitate to give it away from the risk of getting marketing SMS, or even worse, a data breach.

Is there a need to trust these services?

You might say that you only use 2FA for important and trusted services, and they don't send marketing SMS, neither can they have a data breach, yes, most probably, they won't have a data breach, but, do you even need to give them your phone numbers?

The answer is a resounding NO, you don't need to, and the alternative is as beautiful as it sounds, these services don't need to store your phone numbers, they store the hash of your phone numbers, let's discuss how it will work.

What is Hashing and What's so special about it?

To understand a Hashing function, consider this analogy, Suppose you have a blender, you put some stuff in it and blend it completely, and you take out a spoon of the blended material, If we assume perfect blending, this spoonful of material represents our input material, and if we precisely specify the conditions of blending, we will always get same output for same input.

Thus, This Spoonful can be used to represent our input material, but the size of this output is always 1 spoon, and mostly less than the input, this implies that though this output represents our data completely, it's not enough to get original input back from it, as it's lost, what this spoonful can do is verify if another input is identical to this input if they have the same output.

But Hashes Can Collide

You may have guessed from the analogy that it is possible for two different inputs to have same output, yes, it's possible, and it does happen, in some less advanced hasing algorithms.

However, if we consider advanced Hashing Algorithms, like SHA256, (Which no one has found a collision for yet), the chances of collision are lesser than a space-rock nuking us tomorrow.

Even better, In our use case, where we are hashing phone numbers, If at all anyone wants to exploit this collision vulnerability, not only will they have to know the phone number, Find a collision, but also make sure than the colliding data is a valid phone number, which is so unlikely that we call it impossible.

Working of such a model

The working is pretty simple, and there are various ways of implementing it, so, if a company insists that they won't use your phone numbers for marketing, or, doesn't want to take risk of data breach, they can ask for your phone number, hash it and store.

When you try to log in, and want to have 2FA, you enter your associated phone number yourself (An Extra Step) and they can easily verify that it was the same phone number, they then continue with the usual procedure, This, ofcourse depends on whether they don't store your phone number anyways, Which they shouldn't, if they insist so.

Is it Feasible Though?

The only extra step involved is typing your phone number and they verifying it, and the added benefits and protection against data breach are worth more than this minor inconvenience. Now you may have guessed, Why even Emails are required, can't they too be hashed? Yes, you can, some service already do that, one I am aware of it tildes.net

Conclusion

We saw that it's possible to not store critical information when it's only purpose is to verify authenticity, and it's ideal for comapnies that don't insist on marketing Emails and SMS, so, they can surely do it.

BitClout describes itself as a social network that allows users to “speculate on people and posts with real money.” BitClout claims to be a fully open-sourced project that built a custom blockchain using architecture comparable to Bitcoin with “no company behind it” that will allow users to purchase a new asset class called “Creator Coins” for accounts on the site, which includes celebrities, musicians, and influencers.

The FAQ describes these “Creator Coins” as an asset “tied to the reputation of an individual, rather than to a company or commodity.” Effectively this means if a celebrity does something great and more people buy their Creator Coin, the value will go up; if they fail publicly or commit an offensive act, the value of their coin could decrease.

To buy creator coins, users need to purchase BitClout cryptocurrency, which can only be acquired with Bitcoin, a move that will surely limit its initial audience. The price of BitClout “doubles for every million BitClout sold,” the paper states, a move designed to promote scarcity and increase the value of BitClout as more people buy into the influencers on the network.

Despite the glaring question around how BitClout will get away with using the names and likenesses of 15,000 celebrities without permission, the social network says it will allow those influencers to claim their accounts simply by tweeting their BitClout public key, which will give them full access to their accounts, as well as a “percentage of the creator coins associated with their profile,” according to the FAQ.

Is BitClout just snake oil?

It’s safe to say that gamifying the social behavior of thousands of celebrities would have a massive impact on society in unpredictable ways: one act’s misguided tweet could cost its fans serious money, adding yet more pressure to the already high-stakes world of social media for those in the limelight. But for now, the biggest question is whether it is legal for a social network to monetize potential users before they even sign up.

Quora, the QnA platform which started out as the best knowledge source and time killer, where we would learn something, has changed a lot, something which makes it harder to tolerate. Can you still enjoy Quora?

What is Quora?

Quora is a Question-and-Answer platform, started in 2009, where people could ask anything, and people knowledgeable in that domain could answer them.

Unlike other similar platforms, which soon realised that it's not a great idea to be a general QnA website, Quora seemed to just work out long enough.

Quora favours writers, but how much?

One thing that strongly differentiates Quora from other similar platforms and forums is that it favours writers, a lot. So, if you're good at writing, you will have a huge following on Quora.

Unsurprisingly, the top writers also get an opportunity to monetize their answers, making it a career, for short-term atleast.

Quora Moderation

One fair argument to defend Quora would be that all platforms beyond a particular size face this problem, that is, low quality of content. What differentiates succesful platforms, however, is their quality of moderation. Something, which is often criticized the most about Quora.

What has Quora Become?

It's obvious that Quora is no longer a place to ask simple questions and get simple answers, it is dominated by writers who will write long answers even when not required, just because their followers love reading them.

This is another reason why the upvotes don't show the Quality of answers anymore.

Since, Quora is general platform, you can never reliably get quality answers, and it's always recommended to seek for niche platforms for expert answers.

Is it all bad?

Definitely not, it favours writers, and there are good writers, many experts and great quality content hidden somewhere the low quality midst, making it harder to find.

That's all wrong with Quora, a great platform for killing time, now a headache, and might be a better future ahead.

I Can Has Cheezburger has become one of the most popular sites online. Its daily collection of LOLCats is the source of endless humor

Cheezburger is a Seattle-based company founded in 2007 and is home to sites like I Can Has Cheezburger, FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme and Memebase. They are one of the largest social humor sites on the Internet where "millions of people come every day to view, create or remix themes, and share their favorite funny pictures."

I Can Has Cheezburger? (ICHC for short) is the name of a weblog featuring lolcats, which are comical pictures of cats with captions, and other animal images.

It was created in 2007 by Eric Nakagawa

In the early days of the site, its traffic was negligible, but it very quickly outgrew its available bandwidth and was regularly getting Nakagawa and Unebasami in trouble with their hosting service.

pointerpointer is a website that shows pictures of people pointing to your pointer.

It was created by Studio Moniker in Amsterdam the site offers no redeeming value except for a bit of pure comedic relief. The project is described as an experiment in pointer retrieval and it’s not quite as smart as it looks.

What it does is locate your cursor and find a picture with people pointing towards that location on the screen. We've been playing with it for a while now, and have never seen the same picture twice.

But you’ll notice Pointer Pointer doesn’t move so fast. In fact, you have to wait a few seconds, which feels like eons, after you move your cursor to see a photo, and the lag is intentional. “The first version of Pointer Pointer ran at lightning speed. Whenever you dragged the mouse, you would directly see a photo of someone pointing there.

Internet is weird, Isn't it?

Out of all possible ways to check primality of a number, let us go a bit extreme and use regex to check primality, And as expected, this method is incredibly expensive, while not useful, we can just admire it's beauty

Regular Expression to check Primality

/.?|(..+?)\\1+/

That's it, Regex is powerful, it's much more than simple string matching, while this is computationally expensive, we can still admire it's simplicity.

How does Primality Regex Work?

.?

The first part of the regex says, "any character, zero or one times". So basically, is there zero or one character-- or, per what I mentioned above, n == 0 || n == 1. If we have the match, then return the negation of that. This corresponds with the fact that zero and one are NOT prime.

(..+?)\\1+

The second part of the regex is a little trickier, relying on groups and backreferences. A group is anything in parentheses, which will then be captured and stored by the regex engine for later use. A backreference is a matched group that is used later on in the same regex.

The group captures 1 character, then 1 or more of any character. (The + character means one or more, but ONLY of the previous character or group. So this is not "two or four or six etc. characters", but rather "two or three etc." The +? is like +, but it tries to match as few characters as possible. + normally tries to gobble the whole string if it can, which is bad in this case because it prevents the backreference part from working.)

The next part is the backreference: That same set of characters (two or more), appearing again. Said backreference appears one or more times.

Why is it computationally expensive?

From empirical data it appears to be O(n²)

This is to be expected since the regular expression checks all possible divisors to see if any of them occurs a whole number of times in the string.

Not only this, Regex is also space inefficient, there is every reason to not use it, but, just admire it's beauty.

The water plows into the ground, but the bedrock is unyielding. The pressure forces the water sideways, creating a supersonic omnidirectional jet that destroys everything in its path. The wall of water expands outward kilometer by kilometer, ripping up trees, houses, and topsoil as it goes. The house, porch, and old-timers are obliterated in an instant. Everything within a few kilometers is completely destroyed, leaving a pool of mud down to bedrock. The splash continues outward, demolishing all structures out to distances of 20 or 30 kilometers.

It’s midsummer. The air is hot and heavy. Two old-timers sit on the porch in rocking chairs.

On the horizon to the southwest, ominous-looking clouds begin to appear. The towers build as they draw closer, the tops spreading out into an anvil shape.

They hear the tinkling of wind chimes as gentle breeze picks up. The sky begins to darken.

Air holds water. If you walled off a column of air, from the ground up to the top of the atmosphere, and then cooled the column of air down, the moisture it contained would condense out as rain. If you collected the rain in the bottom of the column, it would fill it to a depth of anywhere between zero and a few dozen centimeters. That depth is what we call the air’s total precipitable water.

Normally, the TPW is one or two centimeters.

We’ll imagine our storm measures 100 kilometers on each side and has a high TPW content of 6 centimeters. This means the water in our rainstorm would have a volume of:

That water would weigh 600 million tons (which happens to be about the current weight of our species). Normally, a portion of this water would fall, scattered, as rain—at most, 6 centimeters of it.

In this storm, all that water instead condenses into one giant drop, a sphere of water over a kilometer in diameter. We’ll assume it forms a couple kilometers above the surface, since that’s where most rain condenses.

The drop begins to fall.

For five or six seconds, nothing is visible. Then, the base of the cloud begins to bulge downward. For a moment, it looks a little like a funnel cloud is forming. Then the bulge widens, and at the ten-second mark, the bottom of the drop emerges from the cloud.

The drop is now falling at 90 meters per second (200 mph). The roaring wind whips up the surface of the water into spray. The leading edge of the droplet turns to foam as air is forced into the liquid. If it kept falling for long enough, these forces would gradually disperse the entire droplet into rain.

Before that can happen, about 20 seconds after formation, the edge of the droplet hits the ground. The water is now moving at over 200 m/s (450 mph). Right under the point of impact, the air is unable to rush out of the way fast enough, and the compression heats it so quickly that the grass would catch fire if it had time.

Fortunately for the grass, this heat lasts only a few milliseconds because it’s doused by the arrival of a lot of cold water. Unfortunately for the grass, the cold water is moving at over half the speed of sound.

If you were floating in the center of this sphere during this episode, you wouldn’t have felt anything unusual up until now. It’d be pretty dark in the middle, but if you had enough time (and lung capacity) to swim a few hundred meters out toward the edge, you’d be able to make out the dim glow of daylight.

As the raindrop approached the ground, the buildup of air resistance would lead to an increase in pressure that would make your ears pop. But seconds later, when the water contacted the surface, you’d be crushed to death—the shock would briefly create pressures exceeding those at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

The water plows into the ground, but the bedrock is unyielding. The pressure forces the water sideways, creating a supersonic omnidirectional jet that destroys everything in its path.

The wall of water expands outward kilometer by kilometer, ripping up trees, houses, and topsoil as it goes. The house, porch, and old-timers are obliterated in an instant. Everything within a few kilometers is completely destroyed, leaving a pool of mud down to bedrock. The splash continues outward, demolishing all structures out to distances of 20 or 30 kilometers. At this distance, areas shielded by mountains or ridges are protected, and the flood begins to flow along natural valleys and waterways.

The broader region is largely protected from the effects of the storm, though areas hundreds of kilometers downstream experience flash flooding in the hours after the impact.

News trickles out into the world about the inexplicable disaster. There is widespread shock and puzzlement, and for a while, every new cloud in the sky causes mass panic. Fear reigns supreme as the world fears rain supreme, but years pass without any signs of the disaster repeating.

Atmospheric scientists try for years to piece together what happened, but no explanation is forthcoming. Eventually, they give up, and the unexplained meteorological phenomenon is simply dubbed a “Skrillex Storm”—because, in the words of one researcher, “It had one hell of a drop.”

Advent Of Code is a set of coding questions that is organized every year prior to Christmas, there are many platforms to do programming, but Advent Of Code is different, I get the joy of solving a problem and has been by favourite hobby of 2021.

Why I love Advent Of Code?

There is no shortage of platforms where you can practise programming, or even compete with others, they even have problems of all kinds, for beginners to experts, while I do solve those, It has never been fun.

I started Advent Of Code this year, though I do regret not starting it earlier, this has been the best hobby for me this year, a new challenge everyday, sometimes challenging, sometimes easy but always enjoyable and a new experience.

Why Advent Of Code is excellent for beginners?

All AOC questions are themed around Christmas and questions wrapped in little stories. Unlike questions on other platforms, where question is either too straightforward, or too difficult to grasp, AOC makes it very easy to understand the problem.

It is said that you don't need to have a CS background in order to perform tasks, though I have observed it is sometimes good to have some knowledge of algorithms. The best thing being, there is always a community where you can ask for help, share your solution and learn together.

Why should you make it a hobby too?

Whether you're a working professional or a beginner, you'll find AOC fun, I have recommended it to people who initially thought it's a waste of time, but they love it now.

If you're a working professional, you'll find initial (or most) problems easy, but you'll still feel the challenge, as a professional, the best thing you could do is to help others, there's an active community on reddit, you can share your solution and that will help people who want to learn.

And, if you're a beginner, this is the best hobby you can have, it definitely did help me in bringing back my love for programming, Just pick up your language of choice and you'll love it, It's the joy of solving what pushes you forward.

100 awesome life hacks to make your life easier

• if you’re stuck on an annoying call, put your phone on airplane mode instead of just hanging up. The other person will see “call failed” instead of “call ended”
• Look up your buildings washer/dryer model on eBay and order a key for it. I haven’t paid for laundry in years and it cost me $8.00! Sleep like a baby knowing you’re not paying for on-site laundry.
• If the person sitting in front of you on a flight reclines their seat all the way back and leaves you with no room, turn on the air con above you to full blast and point it at the top of their head.
• If a relative keeps asking you about having kids, lie that the wife is pregnant. A few months later, tell them there was a miscarriage so they'll feel uncomfortable bringing up the subject again.
• Save business cards of people you don't like. If you ever hit a parked car accidentally, just write "sorry" on the back and leave it on the windshield.
• Give your kids a bag of coal each for Christmas this year. When they cry just tell them Santa is wrong and you'll get it sorted. Once the shops open buy what they asked for. They will think you are a legend and Santa is a dick. You will also get the presents for half price.
• If you’re initiating a divorce, secretly arrange consultations with ALL the best divorce attorneys in your area before choosing one and filing. Once they have met with you, even briefly, they are considered biased and will have to recuse themselves from representing your spouse.
• If you live near a US military base, it's a really good time to install Tinder.
• f you ever get caught sleeping at your desk at work then say "They told me at the Blood Bank that this would happen" when asked for a reason
• If a computer illiterate relative/friend asks you to fix their slow computer, boost their cursor speed by a notch or two. They’ll instantly notice a difference and thank you!
• When you give someone a gift card as a gift, write down the card number and code. Then after a year or two, check the balance and if they hadn't used it yet, just use it yourself. They obviously won't know or care.
• if you accidentally scratch someone’s car, write a note in shaky handwriting saying you are 5 years old and fell off your bike. Then leave $5 saying it’s all you had
• If you glue a dead wasp to the palm of your hand, you can hit your boss on the back of the head as hard as you like and act like you saved him.
• s a parent of a baby, smell their diaper. If you DON’T smell poop, say, “Woah, somebody has a poopy diaper. “ Then take them to the other room and pretend to change them. Then the next time they poop tell your spouse, “It’s your turn. I changed them last time.”
• If you have a significant unexplained employment gap that is hurting your resume claim that you were providing full time end of life care for a grandparent (or other older relative).
• Want your commercial to be seen by millions of people for free? Put it on YouTube with the title "The commercial the Superbowl refused to run."
• Concerned about unvaccinated children spreading infection? Start rumours amongst antivaxxers that exposure to vaccinated children can cause their unvaccinated children to develop autism....the antivaxxers will be sure to keep their children at a safe distance.
• If you come across a dating profile begging for money, send them a request for the same amount instead of a gift. Many times they're too careless to read and will automatically accept it because they assume another desperate guy is sending cash.
• If you decide to adopt kids, tell them that if anyone makes fun of them for being adopted, they should say "At least I was wanted. You were probably a mistake and your parents didn't have the heart to tell you.".
• In your last year of college “lose” your student ID and get a new one. The exp date will reset and you can get another 4 years of discounts
• Buy the cheapest tickets available for a sporting event. Once inside, check Ticketmaster and Stubhub for better seats that didn’t sell and go sit there.
• Now is a good time for a cheap wedding. You can send “wish we could invite you” cards and probably still get gifts without paying for a big wedding.
• Need to go to the ER? Don’t use your real name and don’t bring your ID!
• Donate to homeless shelters in the next town over. The majority of homeless people tend to go where there are available services, and this will reduce the number of homeless in your town.
• If your company doesn't pay you for sick leaves/ doesn't permit you to take sick leave, show up at work with a flu/pox and *accidentally* infect everybody. They will eventually change policies
• If you ever rob a bank, make sure to hold your middle finger in front of you the whole time so the news has to blur your face in the security footage.
• make your edibles in the shape of dog treats and take them anywhere you want. If a drug dog finds them, his handler will just think he's being a silly boy.
• Keep hydrated at work. You'll need to take a lot of bathroom breaks. This will make up for all the breaks smokers get. Might as well double up and start smoking
• hat koalas have a 20% chance of being infected with Chlamydia with many more carrying the disease. If you are harboring koala refugees from the Australian bushfires, and you cheated on your spouse and got chlamydia, use this as an excuse.

though it may seem pointless but googling stuff is an art, there is no question unanswered on the internet but finding the answer requires mastering the art of googling, this guide will help you become a googling expert, let's see how.

what is googling

googling is the art of searching answers on google, though google is popular for giving the best answers, still, Internet is very huge and not all answers are optimised for SEO, thus googling becomes very important

how to search for programming related questions

you might not notice but 90% of programming related questions are answered on stackoverflow, there is a very little chance of not finding an answer on stackoverflow

This is also because they are very strict about framing questions, ie. You must frame your question in a way such that person searching for it may use

how to frame your query

this is the most important skill in googling, google is trained to understand your question no matter how badly you ask it, but still, if you have a specific question, effective framing will definitely help

you must frame your question in few words, and they should be rich with keywords, most prior keywords first and then rest of the question.

Gennady Korotkevich is a Belarusian sport programmer who has won major international competitions since age 11, as well as numerous national competitions.

history

Korotkevich was born in Gomel (Homiel), southeastern Belarus. His parents, Vladimir and Lyudmila Korotkevich, are programmers in the mathematics department at Francysk Skaryna Homiel State University. At age 6, he became interested in his parents' work. When he was 8, his father designed a children's game he could use to learn programming.

education

His mother consulted departmental colleague Mikhail Dolinsky, who gave Korotkevich a small book to read. Dolinsky, one of the top computer science teachers in Belarus, recalled, "A month went by, and then another one ... No news from Gena. Then suddenly Lyudmila comes by and brings me a programming notebook: when summer and football were over, her son sat at the computer. As a second-grader at a national competition, he took second place, which gained him an automatic entry into a technical university without taking any entrance exams. Somehow he solved the problem of a body immersed in water. At that time, Gena didn't even know about Archimedes' principle of buoyancy.

success

Korotkevich first gained global attention when he qualified for the 2006 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) at the age of 11, a world record by a large margin.

He took the silver medal at his first IOI event and received gold medals from 2007 to 2012. To date, he is the most successful competitor in IOI's history.

list of competitions won

conclusion

At 21, Gennady Vladimirovich Korotkevich is already a legend. Tourist, as he's known online, is now the world's top sport programmer. He competes against other people to solve coding puzzles, and he's darn good at it

Chintu Ka Birthday portrays the essence of life, that it waits for none and one must live to the fullest under the direst of circumstances. It narrates the story of a family stuck in war-torn Baghdad in early 2000s, and has Solid performances from Vinay Pathak and his two proven co-actors

Chintu Ka Birthday, as simple and unrelated the title may sound to the real story at play, deals in pressing issues of our times like migration and identity, thus stressing on the movie's relevance now more than ever. Director duo Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh keep the storytelling simple and deliver entertainment and morality lessons with subtlety while arousing empathy in the viewers for the characters and their situation.

How challenging can it be for a middle-class couple to throw a birthday party for their child? All you need is a bit of tinsel and cake. For six-year-old Chintu, stuck in war-torn Iraq with his family, a party is a distant dream. He was unable to celebrate his birthday last year and his family has promised him double the fun this year -- they will ensure Chintu will get the birthday party he deserves.

As seasoned and effortless actors like Vinay Pathak, Tillotama Shome and Seema Pahwa lead the narrative, one becomes quickly invested in the heartwarming tale of a family that is not unlike us, and in facing borderline fatal circumstances due to government and system's negligence, the Tiwaris become us and vice versa.

April, 2004. Chintu (Vedant Raj Chibber) gets ready for school in a small Baghdad neighbourhood. The sunlight is streaming in through the windows. His dad, Madan (Vinay Pathak) is singing discordantly inside the bathroom while Sudha, his mother (Tilottama Shome), preps him for his special day. Bespectacled, well-combed, and cute as a button, Chintu is ready to celebrate his sixth birthday with his classmates. There are toffees to be distributed — dad has ordered double to make up for last year — a cake to be brought home and a big, roomy house to be decorated.

Chintu Ka Birthday, streaming on Zee5, is in way a facile affair, but it has an undeniably feel-good air about it. Setting the story in Iraq is an easy way out. It enables an overly generalised statement on the plight of people trapped in a conflict zone. The makers of the film do not have to step on political toes closer home while making the right noises.

Chintu Ka Birthday proves yet again how intelligent writing is the key to a successful project. The way a 6-year-old Chintu tells the story of Saddam Hussein’s downfall in 2004’s Iraq in layman’s language brings so much freshness to the screen. The duty of a family to deal with a tough situation as a whole signifies the importance of loved ones who can make any trouble look small when the burden is shared by everyone

Chintu Ka Birthday is a beautifully written story but sometimes struggles with its pace. For those who find it hard to concentrate if the screenplay is slow, it might be a challenge. But the rest, who like human stories, will fall in love with this birthday party. While the events leading up to the situation are not entirely convincing, the film connects with the viewer at so many levels. It definitely leaves you with a feeling of optimism, especially in these testing times we are living in.

Though, there is no exact formula for circumference of ellipse, like we have for circle, we have an approximate formula which works in most cases.

difficulty in finding exact formula

There is no general formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse that uses only elementary functions. However, there are approximate formulas in terms of these parameters. One such approximation, due to Euler (1773), for the canonical ellipse,

approximate formula for circumference of ellipse

The given formula is the most exact representation of circumference of ellipse till date

conclusion

An ellipse is described as a curve on a plane that surrounds two focal points such that the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve. Ellipse has two types of axis – Major Axis and Minor Axis. The longest chord of the ellipse is the major axis. The perpendicular chord to the major axis is the minor axis which bisects the major axis at the center.

Given the lengths of minor and major axis of an ellipse, the task is to find the perimeter of the Ellipse.

This was my first codejam and my first coding competition too

my review

choice of programming language

I used Node.Js for the competition as I am pretty fluent in JavaScript

Though JavaScript is a very popular programming language, within a few problems I realised that it's not very perfect for competitive programming

quality of problems

the qualification round was extremely easy and anyone with decent programming knowledge would qualify easily

why did I quit

since, this was my first attempt in competitive programming, I was not very prepared for algorithm stuff

this, along with many other factors was the main reason of my failure

lessons learned

• Use a better programming language like C++
• Be more prepared with algorithms
• Think efficiently
• improve speed

The Monty Hall Game Show A.K.A. Let's make a deal was a Television game show, it had three doors, with a sports car behind one of them and goats behind others, you make a choice, the host opens some other door which will turn out to be a goat, now you have a choice, either stick to previous choice or switch, simple, isn't it?

Is the probability 50%?

A typical observation of the situation might suggest that the probability is 50%, you have two choices, you have no idea where car is, so probability must be 50%, right

there are various factors while calculating probability we need to consider before calculating probability

explanation of the biased probability

Any proficient mathematician, or a person with good knowledge of mathematics will be able to explain why the probability is not 50%.

conditional probability

conditional probability is a concept of probability which deals with dependent events, ie. happening of one event affecting happening of other event, this is a really important concept as most of the events in real life are dependent events.

actual probability of monty hall game

so, it turn out that the events are not equally likely, one is greater than other, what that means is, your chances of winning are greater if you switch rather than sticking to it.

The probability of winning on switching is 66% while on sticking to choice is 33%, So, next time you are playing this game, act smart.

we will use the concept of probability and definition of pi to calculate the value of pi

steps to do so

make a unit circle enclosed within square touching its boundaries

randomly plot points inside the square

count the number of points that lie inside the circle and total number of points

calculation of Pi

how probability works

since we are randomly plotting points inside the square, the probability of it lying inside the circle is

area of circle / area of square

how does counting help

since we are plotting many points, empirical probability says that

P = number of points inside circle / Total number of points

using this to find Pi

since we know the empirical probability we will use it to find value of pi

ie. n/N = Pi/4

Pi = 4(number of points inside circle / Total number of points)

conclusion

this is also know as Monte Carlo method, this works perfectly when number of pounts is fairly high

Firefox Send is a free-to-use, online file-sending service, able to handle files up to 2.5 GB. It was developed by Mozilla and is licensed under the terms of the open source Mozilla Public License.

firefox send review

Because Firefox Send is end-to-end encrypted, not even Mozilla can see the contents of what you’re sharing. You can also add a password to a given file, so that even if someone intercepts that URL—by compromising the recipient’s email, say—you can keep it secure.

Compare that experience to an encrypted messaging app like Signal; you know what version you have on your phone, and how it behaves. A browser-based solution offers no such guarantees, and potentially exposes users to either server-side or man-in-the-middle attacks. White acknowledges that those scenarios aren’t likely, especially for the average user. But human-rights activists, journalists, and other potential targets should take it into consideration.

Websites are like a canvas. You have complete freedom to design them the way you want. But unlike a painting, not all people will view your site the way you want.

The internet is huge and old, and devices are getting smaller and more compact. Now you have to adapt your painting for a smaller canvas without losing its beauty.

This is where Responsive Design comes in. Websites can now look just as good on a phone as they do on a big-screen TV. But it wasn't always this way. It took developers years of experimentation to reach this point. And we're still making improvements each day.

In this article, we're going to dive into the history of responsive web design, and see how websites have evolved over time.

The Early Days of the Internet

Remember the early days of internet, when any website seemed great? Just getting your own page live on the web was a grand achievement. Even if it was just a Geocities page or an Angelfire page. You'd show it off to your friends. And it was one of the best feelings in the world.

The good news for designers: they knew pretty much exactly how their websites would look. Everyone was accessing the web through desktop computers with only a handful of resolutions and aspect ratios. This meant that designers could place things anywhere on the screen they wanted without worrying too much about other screen sizes.

Back then, it was common to see websites that forced you to use a desktop browser. Re-designing an entire website to work on fringe screen sizes was a difficult task, and many companies didn't want to invest the effort.

Life Before CSS

For the past 20 years or so, most developers have gotten their start with web development. And that meant learning basic HTML, the basic building blocks websites.

In the most basic terms, HTML elements are rectangular boxes which stack over each other by default. There wasn't that much you could do with a few boxes containing text and images.

The most basic HTML tags were all we could use. They included h1 to h6 tags, image tags, lists, tables, paragraphs and many tags for even the most basic stuff (which are now done using CSS).

A basic HTML page would look like this:

<html>
<head>
  <title>FreeCodeCamp</title>  
</head>
<body>
  <h1>FreeCodeCamp</h1>
    <img src="logo.jpg" height="150" width="150" align="right">
    <p>Text goes here</p>
  <p>Text goes here</p>
</body>
</html>

There were no structured or uniform ways of styling HTML elements. But luckily, HTML gave you some customization through special tags.

All these tags even exist today, though some of them were deprecated in HTML5 because they were too basic. For example, there was a marquee tag, a tag for creating sliding text, images and other HTML elements.

You can achieve the same effect can now through CSS alone. But at that time, developers had to create separate tags for every single functionality. (Fun Fact: Google has an easter egg if you search "marquee tag." You get to see it in action.)

Thus, designers needed a structured way of styling elements. It needed to be flexible and completely customizable.

This led to the creation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a standard way of styling HTML elements.

Cascading style sheets or CSS is a way of styling any HTML element.
They have a set of pre-defined properties which can be applied to any HTML element.
These style can be embedded in the same HTML page or used as an external .css file

It was a major milestone in web design. Now designers had an option to change each and every property of HTML elements and place them wherever they wanted.

When Screens Started Shrinking

Now that designers had complete control over the webpage, they had to make sure it looked good on all screen sizes.

Desktops are still popular today, but a majority of people also use hand-held mobile devices to surf the web. Now designers have less width but a more usable height, as scrolling is very convenient on touch-screen devices compared to desktops.

Websites now had to incorporate Responsive Web Design:

Responsive web design is an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes.

The most common way of dealing with smaller screens is a Sidebar. A sidebar is like a drawer where links and other not-so-important stuff is kept. Designers just transfer all secondary stuff to the sidebar so that the webpage looks clean.

This is an overused method, however, and sidebars weren't originally intended for this purpose.

Prior to this trend, the frameset and frame tags were very popular, as they allowed designers to embed external web pages.

But unlike the now popular iframe tags, these tags were highly unresponsive. This was because they didn't adapt to different screen sizes, and tried to maintain their layout even on smaller screens which looked terrible.

<frameset rows="100,*">
  <frame src="header.html"/>
  <frameset cols="33%,33%,*">Nested frameset
    <frame src="subframe1.html"/>
    <frame src="subframe2.html"/>
    <frame src="subframe3.html"/>
  </frameset>
</frameset>

The output would look completely fine on desktops but broke on mobile devices.

Transition to Responsive Design

The old, huge websites with thousands of pages were faced with a dilemma: to be responsive or not to be.

Any web designer knows that having to make a transition from a larger to a smaller screen is the worst. Your canvas is getting smaller, whereas the painting remains the same. Either you delete some parts of your painting or make it adapt.

Since there were no guidelines for being responsive back in the day, web designers often used naive ways of putting elements on various parts of the screen.

For example, using table tags.

Using a table tag for a layout was a bad practice for various reasons, such as:

• Tables are not meant for layouts. They are for showing Tabular data in a compact form.
• Table tags, just like frameset tags, are not responsive, and they don't adapt to smaller screen sizes.
• The table can't be rendered until all its cells are loaded, whereas using div tags for a layout allows them to load independently.

Case Study of Some Large Websites

Let us see how some large websites dealt with this dilemma. We'll take YouTube, for example.

You have likely seen the desktop version of YouTube. It's full of stuff – a header on top, a sidebar on the left, videos stacked around each other, and a footer. Now, most of these things are quite unnecessary for mobile users as they can't utilize them properly.

YouTube might have chosen responsive design, but that would mean hiding these extra elements somewhere.

Anyone who has designed a website knows how important website performance is. Each and every thing you put on a page slows it down. So, in YouTube's case, it would be a waste to fetch them from server only to hide them.

And YouTube is old, and so is its design. Modifying already written code has a high chance of breaking stuff that is already working. So instead, YouTube used what is known as Dynamic Serving.

Dynamic Serving is a method where the server checks whether the device requesting the webpage is a desktop or a mobile. Then it dynamically serves the webpage depending on the type of device.

This method is easy to implement, as designers don't have to deal with different screen sizes. But it's also often discouraged because if not properly configured it can devastate SEO because of duplicate content issues.

These mobile versions are often served through a different subdomain like m.site-name.com to distinguish them.

This method was used by Facebook, Wikipedia, and other huge websites, for similar reasons. Responsive Web Design is an ideal solution which is difficult to implement.

Some other sites decided to not be responsive but to build a mobile app instead. This was a reasonable approach considering that mobile apps were future proof. But installing a mobile app required some level of trust, as they had much greater access than web apps.

Also, the problem with native mobile apps was that they were expensive to make, as they had to be built for multiple platforms with the exact same design and functionality. The web is a pretty mature platform and thus has greater scope than mobile apps.

Responsive Web Design Strategy

These were the problems faced by sites which already existed. For new websites Responsive design became a must in order to compete with other websites.

Google also recently introduced mobile-first indexing which means that it prefers mobile-friendly websites in search on mobile devices, creating one more reason adapt.

Mobile-first approach

Suppose you have a suitcase with some stuff in it. would it be easier to transfer things from a smaller suitcase to a larger one, or from a larger to a smaller?

In the mobile-first approach, the website is made to be compatible with mobile first, and then see how things change when transitioning to a larger screen.

One misconception around this approach is that people think that it's mobile-only. But that's not correct – mobile-first doesn't mean designing only for mobile. It is just a safe and easy approach to start with.

Since the available space on a mobile screen is much smaller compared to a desktop, it has to be used for central content.

Also, mobile users switch pages much more frequently, so it is important to grab their attention immediately. Since there are fewer elements on the page and focus is put more on content, this results in a cleaner web page.

The Future of Web Design

The web is growing at an incredible rate. People are shifting their businesses online, and competition is stiffer than before.

There is also a discussion as to whether businesses actually need a mobile app anymore. With growth of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and various web API's, the web is much more powerful than before. And most native features like notifications, location, caching, and offline compatibility are now possible with PWAs.

A progressive web application is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

The process of making a PWA is very simple, but that is beyond the scope as well as the central idea of this article. Let us focus more on what we are getting with PWAs.

You might have noticed the "Add to Home Screen" button in the chrome browser above. For normal websites, it's nothing more than a shortcut icon on the home screen. But if the website is a PWA, you can do a lot of really cool stuff.

You don't need to install a web app for it to function as a PWA, but that makes it feel more like a native app. Also, a PWA can run as a standalone web app without the chrome address bar on top. This again gives it a more app-like feel.

PWAs work on Desktops too, which makes them a perfect candidate for any new app. They can run on any platform that has a web browser, they are safe, and they have all the basic native features.

Still, many features not already installed or available can pose a security threat, as opening a website is considered much safer than installing an app. Therefore, some highly native features still require a native app.

Just to be clear: PWAs are not a replacement for native apps. Native apps will continue to exist. PWAs are just a simpler way to achieve those features without actually building a mobile app.

Predicting the Future of the Web

As we've seen, technology continues to improve, and the internet continues to become more accessible as the number of users grows exponentially.

The shift of web design trends leans more towards performance and user experience. And will continue to do so.

We are also heading towards Web 3.0:

Web 3.0 is the next generation of Internet technology that heavily relies on the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). It aims to create more open, connected, and intelligent websites and web applications, which focus on using a machine-based understanding of data.

What this means is that everything will be connected and machines will use the internet too. It'll be similar to how web crawlers crawl websites and understand the context of the page.

A good, clean, minimal web design with more focus on content will help machines understand things better. The internet is an open place with lots of innovation. We might be heading towards a web controlled by the mind!

Conclusion

We started from the beginning of internet and we've seen how once popular technologies became obsolete. We are still in progress toward a better internet.

We are no longer in the era where developers don't worry about users. The user experience is a priority nowadays, whether it's performance or design, a user should feel satisfied with any application.

And unlike the old days, we are not limited to any one tool. We are free to use our own creativity, and it is up to us how we transform our creations into something valuable.

The web is a wonderful place and there are many great websites to get inspired by. Let's keep our fingers crossed and keep moving forward.

Youtube recently deleted my youtube channel for possible copyright violations which I completely deserved but not in such an unexpected way, This post will explain how it happened

my youtube channel

I had a youtube channel (theabbie) which I had created along with my google account in 2015, I didn't upload stuff on it, I had uploaded 2-3 videos just to fun around.

It was used by me only for watching videos, and other personal uses.

youtube uploading bot

around 1 year ago, I saw a youtube channel webdriver torso which had around 625K videos, then I thought how was that possible, after some research I found that the videos where getting uploaded by a script.

That was when I decided that I need to create a bot for myself, I had a little knowledge of Javascript by then, I started to learn stuff, It was my primary project then.

difficulty in creating the bot

Fortunately, I discovered Google apps script which made it very easy to use google API's and thus I created the bot, but now I had a greater problem, How would I get my videos?

I had initially thought of creating random videos using canvas API, but due to lack of resources and knowledge, It was very difficult to implement that, thus I went for the easy way, search random videos on youtube and upload the first result.

results

It was very easy and I was successfully uploading 30-50 videos per day, I had thought of uploading 10000 videos, thus, Even if I get 1 view per video, It would be 10000 views, but things don't work that way.

after uploading around 1000 videos, I realised that Majority of them had no views, of course, who would watch clickbait, but still.

series of copyright strikes and claims

My bot was programmed to upload the first video that came in results, and, first video is always from a big youtube channel, thus, I had broken many copyright rules.

most of them made copyright claims rather than copyright strikes, but, I had 2 copyright strikes and one more strike and my channel would get deleted automatically.

Thus, I had to stop my bot for atleast 3 months till the strikes expire.

result

After 3 months, when all the strikes expored, I decided to find a new source for my videos, I was experimenting on converting GIF to mp4 as getting random GIF is very easy, but unfortunately, one day, suddenly I realise that I was logged out of my youtube account, after some troubleshooting I realised that my account was deleted.

I e-mailed YouTube and as expected, was informed that It was due to copyright violations, I explained (begged) them, but, they took their hands off the case.

I was more sad not because of deleted YouTube channel, but my personal account, the watch history, my songs playlist, my popular comments, my awesome recommendations, all in Vain.

moral of the story

Don't mess with copyright

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding among people about how bitcoin and how the underlying blockchain works, let us try to understand how it works in a layman terms.

A real-world analogy for bitcoins

Suppose there were no banks and transactions had to be done without any central authority, we have a public transaction box (transaction pool) where anyone who wants to send money will write their address, receiver's address and amount on piece of paper and sign it, this sign is actually cryptographic signature and is foolproof, they put this paper in transaction box, this box contains "pending transactions".

to actually do these transactions, the process is time-consuming so there is a group of people (miners) who took this job, since it's time consuming they need an incentive to do this job, that's why they get a mining fees as a reward for this, since there is no central authority, to control the transactions, the process is designed such that doing the transaction takes upto 10 minutes no matter what, and only n number of transactions can be made at once, miners have the choice to pick these n transactions from the box, either they could pick randomly, or the sender can say, "please pick mine first, I will reward you", and they give some additional money for miner, once the miner picks n transactions, they perform this tedious task.

the one who finishes first runs towards the public ledger, everyone else who couldn't do it first get nothing, all efforts wasted. The winner puts his solution along with the list of transactions on a public board such that it's very easy to verify if it's legitimate, once it updates, all other miners take a note of this board, if it's legitimate and longer than the existing copy, they keep it, else, discard it. And that's how you have a public list of transactions which can't be tampered because In order to tamper, you would need to do the tedious task and by the time you do this task, new blocks will be added, and your malicious copy will always be smaller than the ones in circulation.

What is this tedious task that miners do?

You might be wondering what is this tedious task which miners do, how could it be such that it takes about 10 minutes no matter what? This is where you would need to understand how computer works, there are some tasks which can only be done in a certain way, Let us try to understand what hashing is before we proceed.

To understand a hashing, consider this analogy, Suppose you have a blender, you put some stuff in it and blend it completely, and you take out a spoon of the blended material, If we assume perfect blending, this spoonful of material represents our input material, and if we precisely specify the conditions of blending, we will always get same output for same input.

Thus, This Spoonful can be used to represent our input material, but the size of this output is always 1 spoon, and mostly less than the input, this implies that though this output represents our data completely, it's not enough to get original input back from it, as it's lost, what this spoonful can do is verify if another input is identical to this input if they have the same output.

It would be obvious that you can't get original data back from hash, as it does not contain original data, all you can do is check if some data is same as the original data. How bitcoin uses this property is that it requires miners to add some dummy data (nonce) which can be any number, and it should be such that the hash calculated after adding this dummy data will have certain number of zeroes in beginning. This certain number of zeroes is called difficulty and more zeroes imply more difficulty.

The difficulty increases because there is no way to directly get a nonce whose hash contains certain number of zeroes, you have to keep checking a lot of nonce values till you get such a hash, and more zeroes make it more unlikely to find it, since computers are limited by how fast they can compute, it has been estimated that a computer won't be able to compute such a hash in less than 10 minutes.

This doesn't mean faster computers can't compute it in less time, but in future, when computers become a lot faster, we can just increase the difficulty in order to keep the rate same.

If you are a guy this must be the first step, 9gaggers are known to be single, we crave for girls, If you see a girl picture you have to zoom her tiddies and post it in comments.

be funny in comments

the only thing that distinguishes 9gag from other meme platforms is that the comment section is not hidden, they are a place to show your funny nature, there are upvotes and downvotes on comments, so you will get an idea on how funny you are

hate tiktok

tiktok is the most hated thing on 9gag, not because it's chinese, but, because it's cringe, no matter how good the video is, if it's tiktok, downvoting is mandatory.

never appreciate OP

There is a culture in 9gag that OP should never be appreciated, there is no source as to who started this culture but it has been there and everyone has to follow it.

use memes properly

It is very important to use memes properly, each meme has a specific situation where it leaves best impact, memes are real life situations in funny format, finding the best format is an art that you have master to become a good 9gagger

don't be a boomer

boomer jokes are a big no on 9gag, because they are lame, predictable, overused and not usually funny, some creative jokes that appear to be boomer are there but you should not use them as examples

don't repost

reposting on 9gag for a few upvotes may seem fine but it's not appreciated, there is actually a report option if meme is reposted, they want to keep the platform clean, reposts are unnecessary and shouldn't be done.

emma is the queen of 9gag

this is the only fact that every 9gagger will agree upon that she is the one and only queen of 9gag, though Emilia is loved too but Emma remains the queen, she is worshipped and will be.

Indie films stand for independent films, ie. films that are made by independent fimmakers without any connection to prominent studio

Promotion of indie film

while promoting indie film there are various factors to keep in mind

• Budget of the film
• Target audience of the film
• Content rating of the film
• Ways of distribution of the film

Create an IMDB page

an IMDB page will allow anyone who's searching for the film online to know about the film, this will ensure that your promotion doesn't go vain.

also, IMDB page will help you to get a knowledge panel graph if your film is searched by significant amount of people online.

create a FilmFreeway account

FilmFreeway is like a portfolio for filmmakers, you can create projects there and keep all the information there.

additionally, it has an amazing feature of submitting to various film festivals , directly from the website.

importance of film festivals

film festivals are organised for indie filmmakers so that they can display there art to a wide variety of intersted audience, it is beneficial to both filmmakers and audience.

FilmFreeway will allow you to take part in many film festivals, some free and some paid.

create a brand for your indie film

If you observe some popular indie films, you will find that most of them have created a brand out of their films, this is a crucial part of indie film promotion.

designing a poster

a well-formed movie poster is like a pitch, people will judge your movie out of it.

thus a good movie poster must be a priority.

movie trailer

similar to a poster, a movie trailer encourages people to watch your movie, the more consideration you make to design it, greater will be your audience.

successful indie films have high quality trailers which create a urge to watch the movie.

ask popular movie reviewers to review your film

as useful as it may seem, movie reviews are a huge part of indie film promotion.

if you observe, big budget films spend large part of their promotion budget on movie reviwers, big and small, this will ensure that your movie appears if people search for it.

Listen to this beautiful song, This is the song you need when life becomes tough, It's Not just any other bollywood song but a feeling in itself.

Leetcode is famous for being a perfect platform for practicing coding problems and to master coding interviews, unlike others, it is not for competitive programming, this guide will help you to get started with Leetcode without losing hope too early.

Follow a list

Biggest reason why people don't find DSA interesting is because they are unable to discover good problems which are easier to solve, simply solving popular questions with no track of questions will bore you very quick. Even worse, you might try solving a really hard problem and lose motivation when it wasn't that hard, you just had to get a grip on it. That's why it's absolutely necessary to follow a list of questions, that way you won't have issues discovering new questions.

Solving problems in right order is very important,

you might see question marked easy which isn't actually easy, the solution will be small, but sometimes, it isn't easy to come up with that solution if you haven't done simpler version of it, thus, it will be demotivating,

Blind 75 Leetcode Questions

This is an awesome list which is asked in interviews and is ordered by actual level of difficulty with prerequisites coming before harder questions, if you follow this, you'll feel interested, once you have done most of this, do problems in “similar questions" section below each problem till you master that category.

Once you feel confident, you can use this,

Leetcode Patterns

and solve problems by category, this will help you master a data structure or some algorithm.

don't get afraid by “hard" questions, there is no hard problem which can't be broken up, try to break it, you might not be able to solve it but you'll convert it to much shorter set of problems which can be solved with some practice.

Thinking abstract and looking at bigger picture is very important, try to convert it to a standard problem. Leetcode is addictive if you improve gradually, try it.

Avoid looking at solutions easily

It's not bad to look at solutions, afterall, you can't know everything and learning is necessary, however, looking at solution just after few minutes of brainstorming is bad, you have to give your absolute best and try every possible "inefficient" solutions you could come up with.

First phase is to figure out what Algorithm and data structure will be used, if you are able to determine what data structure will be used, you can check the Related Topics section to verify if your assumption was correct, and if after few minutes you can't figure it out, you should still check the data structure that will be used and then try to figure out how and where it will be used in given problem.

If you are able to come up with a solution which works correctly, just isn't the best one, that's still a success, coming up with a brute force solution is a bare minimum in an interview.

You can try improving the brute force solution by using some optimizations, that might not lead you to the optimal solution, but improving a solution is a great skill. After spending an hour, if you can't solve the problem, you should usnderstand that you just aren't well versed with the given algorithm and should try solving related problems with that data structure and understand how it works.

You should avoid looking at solution, a solution you made yourself will help you much more, you should abandon the question and maybe revisit in future when you have some experience with that data strucure. That way you can also track if you made some progress with that technique and if you could solve a new problem given to you in an interview,

Interview Questions don't come with hints

One thing to remember is that Interview questions won't tell you what data structure will be used for the problem. That's something you can only master with practice, the patterns and requirements of problems determine what's going to be used.

There is no substitute for practice, reading about algorithms will sure improve your range of thinking, but practice is what will help you master it.

Be Consistent

This goes without saying that practice needs consistency, simply overdoing once and abandoning for months will be destructive, it doesn't take much to take out some time everyday for Leetcode, as far as discovering questions is a concern, you can use Daily Challenges to keep the consistency and maybe also earn Leetcode coins which might buy you a Leetcode T-Shirt one day.

Turn Demotivation into learning opportunity

There will be times when you can't solve a problem despite all efforts, that's very common and bound to happen, but some question being too hard is not something that should demotivate you, every question is a learning opportunity, you can always learn it. Demotivation should be avoided and that's only possible if you have confidence in yourself and will to learn as much as you can.

Participate in contests

Eventhough Leetcode isn't a competitive programming platform, there are contests which allow you to try out brand neew problems and even compete with others. They have categories of 1 easy, 2 Medium and 1 Hard, and solving 3 is more than enough. Once you have enough confidence on your problem solving ability, these contests will help you gain interview experience as they don't have any hints and solutions aren't available during contest. This is pretty close to a real interview experience where time is limited.

Keep Hustling

Leetcode is an addiction and soon you'll fall in love with it, all you need to do is start, there is only one good time to start anything great, NOW, just do it and you'll sure be satisfied with your decision and be proud of yourself. That's all, It's never too early and never too late.

literacy is having a certification that you have passed the basic education requirements, this is not related to intelligence

examples

Indians

Literacy rate in India is around 65% but intelligence rate might not even be 30%

what is intelligence

I am not saying intelligence is not related to literacy, most of the intelligent population is literate, intelligence is using your knowledge properly.

Indian education system

The Indian education system along with our mentality is the main reason why India is dumb

solution

focus on applying knowledge

the main focus of indian education system is to teach as much as possible, without knowing how much is understood and applied.

that's the biggest problem, if you know trigonometry but have no idea how to apply it, it's useless, you are not intelligent, and for me, illiterate too

conclusion

the focus of this post is not about following passion and why subjects are useless, they are pretty useful but only if we know how to

an edit button may be the most demanded feature on Twitter even though everyone realizes it will not happen for the good.

Many platforms allow editing option on public posts, but the thing common in these platforms is that they are just public forums and the users are nothing but content generators, you can post your views but it won't be considered something you should be held accountable for.

Twitter is different, the users are primary and what they post is secondary, for example, consider Reddit, though there are users who post, very rarely would you have visited their profile to see what else they post, and even if you did, that's pretty much all, you can't really have anything against them as they don't have any identity.

On Twitter, what something means is highly dependent on who posts it, meme pages can post anything offensive and people won't care, but a user posting directly implies that they mean it and shows their political stand.

Even on Reddit, you can only edit the description, not the title, which is prominently visible. This implies that no platform is interested in allowing users to abuse this feature for misleading others.

Edit button could be ultimate propaganda tool

We all would support edit button for typos, but what are typos anyways? we could write face and say we actually wanted to type faeces, where do we draw the line? what if the typo changes the meaning from something funny to something completely offensive, that's why it's good idea to just let users be responsible for their mistakes.

Twitter is all about famous people

Edit button for legitimate typos are fine for small accounts with barely any reach, but Twitter is not about these users, it's about famous people with huge reach, those who get thousands of likes in minutes, these people obviously won't benefit from edit button as people would already know that they couldn't even type a tweet properly, they will be humiliated anyways, and they won't benefit from it.

Manual Reviews?

With all the possibilty of misuse, we could say a manual review will be good for all edits, this obviously will take people and is only humanely possible for verified accounts, but then, we would still need lot of reviewers who also need to be aware of current affairs to decide if it's being misused.

Showing tweet history?

Another possibilty would be to allow editing but also show tweet history to people if they want and let them decide if it was legitimate or not, this will solve all issues except for famous people being humiliated for typos, which is something that can't be fixed, most sensible people would check twice before tweeting, especially when stakes are high.

conclusion

While there might be many possibilities to implement edit button without risking misuse, a plain edit button which will simply replace tweet text with something else without any trace is definitely out of question.

While edit button might be requested a lot, it's more of a running joke on Twitter rather than somethig the users actually want. people realise misuse and most people who are serious are small accounts who aren't capable of misuse anyways, the possibilities are endless and misuse prevention is possible, we just have to wait and see if Twitter wants users to be responsible or allow them to be careless.

This is the official whatsapp background used by dark mode, it has a lot of hidden messages, let's find out

what is the official whatsapp background image

The image given below is the official whatsapp background image.

hidden messages in the image

Do you now notice that there are lots of emoji and icons? Now whoever had designed this wallpaper, had created and designed hidden meanings to some. Let’s start the treasure hunt:

theory of the image

If we take the number 9,2 and 8 and convert them into letters, we get I, B and H. So, what is IBH? IBH stands for Inclusion Body Hepatitis. IBH outbreaks are found primarily in chicken’s flesh, most commonly at the age of 3–8 weeks.

Though, I don’t find any connection of this infection with the messaging application, the article suggest that the tech giant WhatsApp wants to promote chicken health and our consumption. 09:28 may be their secret code about care for Chickens?

If we take the time 09:28, and convert them into date we get September, 28th. The zodiac sign Libra falls between September 23 to October 22. Libra are known for their cleverness and being organized. But there’s one trait we can’t overlook which is they are hard to make a decision. This is what makes the alarm similar to being a Libra. As said in the above article, when alarms are loud, they want to be dismissed and wake up right away or be snoozed to sleep again similar to how WhatsApp make us anxious whenever we receive a notification from someone we love, to be opened and replied or ignored and be focused on what we are doing.

Amazon prime's new web series Rasbhari starring Swara Bhaskar is an adult web series which was slammed by movie critics, It has not been received nicely by people on internet and is receiving huge criticism for it's depiction of adult entertainment

Nand is amongst the rush of men who pursue Shanu, the new English teacher in Meerut. Upon his discovering her supposed alter-ego, the sex-obsessed spirit of Rasbhari, their relationship takes a new turn. A now matured Nand, takes up the responsibility of saving Shanu from the ongoing witch hunt by the women of the town initiated by his own mother, Pushpa.

The show will be available on Amazon prime, It is an adult web series which might not be suitable for everyone, It seems to satisfy people's urge for entertainment, personally, This doesn't seem to be worth the effort, This is the show you would expect from AltBalaji, The producers should have thought more about story than making a cringe web series which seems to be a sex education course in disguise

The story of how EchoJS had to face spamming because of refusing to implement spam protection.

What is EchoJS?

EchoJS is an open-source community for sharing links related to JavaScript, It's old and extremely basic and barely has any spam protection, making it a hot target for spammers.

How did EchoJS get spammed?

As already mentioned, EchoJS barely has any Spam protection, which implies that Spamming is really easy on EchoJS.

In this case, EchoJS does not require any email to sign up, removing even the basic necessity for a human, The only protection it has is limiting by IP Address. How effective is it?

Though it started off well by only using upvote spam to keep my post on top, I just overdid it. Do I regret it? No.

The Aftermath of Spamming

What would any sane Community do after facing Spam? Clean it up, yeah? EchoJS took 2 days to clean everything up. Amazing Moderation.

After politely reporting everything to them in a GitHub issue, They don't seem to be very supportive.

https://github.com/echojs/echojs/issues/12

Though it's debatable, open-source Communities are responsible for their vulnerability. EchoJS seems to not care, unfortunately.

Further Discussions

Is it wrong to demand features in open-source projects?

The above link summarises various things, It's a popular belief that open-source maintainers aren't liable for their projects. This needs to Change.

Did EchoJS Change?

https://github.com/echojs/echojs/issues/13

Kind of? Yeah, they declared that they are taking actions, They still need proper moderation, how they will get it, who knows?

studies show that most of the adults have sleeping disorders, these are mainly caused due to stress, but, there are various other factors which affect our sleeping schedule.

what causes lack of sleep

Although insomnia is the most common sleep complaint, it is not a single sleep disorder. It’s more accurate to think of insomnia as a symptom of another problem. The problem causing the insomnia differs from person to person. It could be something as simple as drinking too much caffeine during the day or a more complex issue like an underlying medical condition or feeling overloaded with responsibilities.

adults usually face greater lack of sleep, this is obvious as they are more prone to stress

causes of insomnia

• Anxiety, stress, and depression
• Medical problems or illness
• Medications
• Sleep disorders

how to cure this sleep disorder

Prescription medications that may be used to treat insomnia include:

• eszopiclone
• zolpidem

Talk with your doctor before using any medications or supplements to treat your insomnia. There might be dangerous side effects or drug interactions. Not every “sleep aid” is appropriate for everyone. Get more information on insomnia medications.

impact on bollywood

There is no issue with nepotism, If your parents have done hard work to achieve name and fame, you are bound to get that for free, That's the rule, and nepotism helps only in debut, once you are on screen it's the audience who decides whether you would do further movies or not, I haven't seen any bad actor getting lots of movies because of nepotism, The problem is glamour not nepotism, glamour hides talent

I think it’s important to reiterate that there is no mobile web.

features

Progressive web apps have taken functionality from both native and web apps. They can run fast regardless of mobile operating systems and device types also providing rich functionality as if they were developed for a specific device. Thanks to easy installation, discoverability, automated updates, slow network or even the offline work mode, PWAs can enhance user experience.

advantages

Low Development Costs

PWAs do not require different versions for various devices; a single progressive app meets the requirements of all endpoints on which it operates. So, it significantly reduces the amount of efforts that developers provide, and as a result, the cost to create a PWA decreases. The cost is three or four times lower than that of a native mobile app.

App-Like Look and Feel

Nowadays, mobile users prefer apps to browsers as applications compare favorably with browsers, as they are more user-friendly, can operate offline and have a more attractive interface. Progressive web applications provide an advanced user experience by combining the look and feel of mobile applications and the best of website performance.

Fast Installation

Unlike regular mobile applications, PWAs do not require a long and complex installation process, which significantly improves user experience. Users just download an app, quickly and directly to their devices, and they do not need to go to the App Store or Google Play. It streamlines the procedure and significantly reduces user abandonment.

disadvantages

compatibility with iOS

Since iOS 11.3, it’s been possible to run PWAs on Apple devices, but you can forget about compatibility with older devices.

Issues with legacy devices

PWAs have been around for just a few years, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that older mobile devices with outdated web browsers don’t support them too well. While this problem will inevitably solve itself in the future

PWAs cant do everything

Their performance is also not as good as the performance of native apps, which has a lot to do with the fact that JavaScript is a single-threaded programming language. At the moment, access to certain important device features is still missing, including Bluetooth, proximity sensors, ambient light, advanced camera controls, and others.

conclusion

Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web app, developed with features which give it an app like experience while browsing. PWA improves the user experience to the extent that users can feel the same as they do while using native apps.

the john quinones effect is a effect which is also the underlying principle of all gods and religions, the fear that someone is watching you makes you do good deeds, This increases people's faith in humanity, john quinones is like a god, WWYD shows that people need god, god makes us do good things just by existing

Using hidden cameras, host John Quiñones observes and comments on how ordinary people behave when they are confronted with dilemmas that require them either to take action or to walk by and mind their own business. Various scenarios are created that force people to make split-second -- and often surprising -- decisions, and variations of the situation (such as changing the genders, races or clothing of the people involved) are often featured to see if different reactions are elicited. Examples of situations on the show include a waitress being harassed by her boss, and a drunken valet trying to park cars.

These photos (memes) seem to explain my point

This makes us do good things, john quinones A.K.A. God is watching

This world we live in is actually referred to as the land of the dead. You may even see evidence of this in some of the Christian prophets knowledge having to do with ascending to heaven. There are 10 levels of and to heaven. If you are to do everything right you will make it to the 10th level, and this is where God resides. But along the way up through the levels one will note that they will witness others walking along, some being escorted by angels. In one case the angels were escorting a man to see the gate keeper angel of that specific level and it was apparent that he was fighting along the way.

At a time when human dignity is being violated in countless forms in countries and societies throughout the world – often in the name of religion – it is imperative that we re-emphasize this important value and, more importantly, apply it in our daily lives. All religions recognize human beings as fundamentally equal, whether this is understood as a consequence of their status as children of God (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), of their manifestation of the Divine (Hinduism), or of their common original nature and desire for happiness (Buddhism). Respect for human dignity is, therefore, another fundamental principle of all religions. With that equality comes a belief that all humans deserve a basic level of respect and dignity, regardless of their background.

Christianity: “Do you not know that you are the Temple of God?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)

Judaism: “So God created humanity in God’s image, in the image of God God created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

Buddhism: “All sentient beings without exception have the Buddha-nature.” (Nirvana Sutra)

Hinduism: “The human body is the temple of God.” (Rig Veda)

Live like you'll die tomorrow, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching.

Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is, but the people watching make it so much easier to play.

There's nothing more thrilling than watching great actors say things that you wrote and bring them to life.

I want to make great fights, emotional fights, for all my fans and everyone watching.

When I was on TV in the '80s, I wasn't thinking, 'There's a 10-year-old kid watching this and in 15 years, he's gonna be doing stuff that was influenced by me.' I was trying to get my five minutes together. So now that those people are comedians and they're influenced by me - it's bizarre.
