The Eternal Thing

  Many people love Epics - The Ramayana, The Mahabharatha, and many more lying out there; They are great - the tales, that can inspire, that can warn, that can help; Every tale had its message, but the views? We may focus the flow on some main characters; but the thing is, everyone is the main character... "The Palace of Illusions", is an Epic narrated; the majority portion will be familiar, but not all of it. Well, if you do not want to get spoiled, you can get a soft copy for free  here  and give it a read... (if you love reading hard copies, you can order here ..) A Short Review:- The majority of the credit goes to the author,  Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni , for her excellent writing - we can visualize every scene in great detail; well of course the existence of the tale itself can take some credit... It questions you - about Destiny, Vengence, Patriarchy, and much more. So, that's it; not gonna waste your time - Immerse yourself in one of the most celebrated Epics ...

  The Linux and its sister Operating Systems, even though they are open source, are known for their inferior UI when compared with the Microsoft Windows OS. (but yeah, they are much more robust than the Windows )... But hey, to help you, the whole community is trying to make things better... The powerful tool that can help in making a user-friendly interface - GNOME Shell Extensions..!! What are these? - Just as you use the extensions for your browser, these are the add-ons you can use for your Linux-based Operating Systems.. So, yeah, let's dive into the 'how'... Enabling the GNOME Shell Extensions:- Step-1:- Open your terminal and enter the following command sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions After you are done with the installation in your system, it's time to turn to your browser... Step-2:- Visit the link in a browser:  https://extensions.gnome.org/ Then the system and browser will communicate in a pretty good way and understand that you want to have the exten...

Hello,  You have been heard of sudoku as a great puzzle where we have to place numbers in a square using the rules - like unique row, unique column, and unique sub-square... What about solving it just like that? Yeah, you can now automate the sudoku using the hardware language - "SystemVerilog"...! SystemVerilog is a hardware language to program the electronic circuits and to test them as well - The other hardware language are Verilog and VHDL (You can refer here a brief tabulated version of differences between all the three here ) SystemVerilog is like an updated version of Verilog; Hence, in industry VHDL or SystemVerilog are preferred to Verilog... Okay, how SystemVerilog helps to solve Sudoku? In the SystemVerilog, there is a feature to randomize the given values; but that's not yet - we can control the randomization with a feature called  "Constraints" Briefly, these constraints help the randomization stick to given conditions, like:- 1. The values should b...

Hello, how are you doing...? Recently came across a book called "50 companies that changed the world", which described the 50 America-based companies that created a huge impact during the 19th and 20th centuries... It has companies you know such as IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Ford, etc... but it also had a list of companies that many Non-American people may not know... But yeah, the book is about learning the nature of businesses and the issues that can occur when you want to give an impact at the International level The common things that can be observed across some/all companies, in general, can be summarised as follows: The basic trait: Common for all companies is that none of them kept on a continuous upward streak. Every company had its tough times which they had to face and overcome. Value the employees: Some companies treated the employees to the highest level, with insurance, staff quarters, etc. and some even supported the education of children of the employees. Discover y...

Source: unsplash.com The Binary subtraction of two numbers, as you know consists of adding one number to complement of the other. The complement can be a 2s or 1s complement. Consider the subtraction with 2s complement. After adding with 2s complement of the other number, there are two cases:-  If carry occurs, ignore it, and the answer is the difference required. If carry does not occur, find the 2s complement of the result to get the magnitude of difference, and add a negative sign to answer... Now, we just go a little deep and try to make a sense of why these rules are framed...   Let A and B the two binary numbers of n bits, and we need to find A - B, which we do by finding 2s complementing of B and adding it to A We can write the expression as:-  A + 2s complement of B = A + (2 n - B)  = A - B + 2 n   Based on A is greater or lesser than B, we have two cases :- Case I: If A > B A - B + 2 n   = (A - B) + 2 n =  (required value) + 2 n Thus A -...

 We have different kind of basic digital gates, such as NOT, AND, OR and the Universal gates. Besides those we knew about the XOR ( Exclusive-OR ) logic. But why are we not informed about XAND ( Exclusive-AND )..? To know about XAND possibility, let us see about the genesis of XOR.. The idea behind XOR gate: Consider we have two inputs and an output. The OR gives output logic '1' if at least one input is logic '1', and the truth table, as we know, looks like: A B Y = A OR B 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 To recognize the case of only one input getting '1', we are "excluding" the case of both events getting '1', creating the Exclusive-OR (So, the XOR truth table output is '0' if both inputs are '1'). A B Y = A XOR B 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 What about the XAND then..? If we adapt same explanation for the AND gate as well, we have to remove the case of getting A and B as '1' at the same time. In that case, we do not have any outp...

  It is due to the principle: "The entropy (disorder) of the universe increases with time". This means, events that increase the entropy are supported, and the other events need effort... Hence destruction, that tries to increase the disorder can be achieved in a smoother way when compared to the construction... So what if we can reverse this property of entropy?? Yeah, that is what you observed in the Tenet... Hope you understood the post...  Do you also know such cool things? Don't forget to share in the comments section, and help us reach the 'Eternal Thing'... P.S. You can also express your ideas about this point of view through the comments..
