That one time when I tried to download files from my slow uplink

It was when I was either in 9th or 10th. It should've been in 10th, because it was after I'd gotten used to hosting WordPress (wordpress.org) websites with MAMP, and that was after I knew how to host websites directly with Hostinger's 000webhost, x10hosting and other free hosting providers. I used to host forums based on Simple Machines Forum (SMF), to replicate the forums of San Andreas: Multiplayer (SA:MP) and the United Islands Freeroam (UIF) SA:MP server. We had a bustling Facebook community back in the day, for anything from Web Development, General Software Programming, Gaming, Memes, Game Development, 3D Modelling, etc.

So, it was during that time, when I wanted to do a computer exhibition, and I ended up choosing to display how to host a website as my project. For that, I would have to get my tools in my pendrive. The tools were basically WordPress, a good WordPress theme, MAMP and No-IP Dynamic Update Client. I knew how to port forward to enable accessing files from my PC hosted via MAMP.

So I decided to download it on my mobile phone, directly from my PC, because instead of downloading the tools directly from the official websites, I wanted to do it the cool way by downloading it via localhost. The plan was to take away my SD card after downloading it. Come to think of it, I think I was actually attempting to download it from a high speed internet cafe (Akshaya Center, Kazhakootam) with a bandwidth of 900 Mbps. But I couldn't get it to download, and that's the fun part.

So basically I was on my routine monthly appointments to my dentist, during which my dad would take me on the dental outpass, and after my visit, I would spend the available time in the Akshaya Center doing my stuff, before I had to return, which is by 8:30 PM, for mess dinner. And this specific day was before the school expo, which I planned to take part in.

Why is negative times negative positive?

While I was philosophizing, I forgot how this could happen XD! So I had to rethink how it works. So multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition. This even true for non-integer real numbers, just that sometimes you are adding it only by a non-integer proportion sometimes. Addition is commutative, so you can explain adding A B times also as adding B A times. With negative numbers, when we take B from A and if B is greater than A, we can say that the result is a negative number with the value of taking A from B, so that the borrowed amount is represented as the difference between the larger and smaller number. Since we have established the origin of negative numbers through subtraction, we can add a positive number to a negative number to bring it closer to the positive realm. Adding a postive number reduces the borrow from the negative number, until it reaches zero, and then the familiar addition of applies. Since we have established subtraction as removal earlier, we can use t...

Thinking about how to understand systems

Image
Table of Cohesion and Coupling (Source: https://feature-sliced.design/docs/reference/isolation/coupling-cohesion License: Unknown / Probably Copyrighted )   This is a method by which we understand systems in programming. As the image shows, cohesion is how much similar things are grouped together, and coupling is how much different groups are connected to one another. If I'm thinking about nature, there are a plethora of behaviors, but all of them have common fundamental behaviors. It is easy to understand it as how if we consider the known materials of the world, they are all built up from the same types of elements, which we call atoms. Elements of reality, as we could call them. At the same time, the combination of different elements is what makes reality wonderful, as otherwise everything would have been so stagnant or predictable. This is the general principle of art, to bring into attention a new perspective, and that is ingrained with every part of reality. Thinking in that ...

Energy Efficiency

#Draft Start by defining Power Density and Energy Density. Energy = VIt = Vq Describe Energy as the area of a rectangle with sides Voltage and Capacity or Charge (q=It) Contained. If this is the energy contained per unit mass of a material, this is it's Energy Density. Now, if we consider the energy utilized per unit time, that is Power Density. From this, you can know that for a given fuel, if its Power Density is Higher, its duration is lower. Now, this is the energy conversion for chemical batteries. We also often see the Power Density of Gasoline and other fuels mentioned, which unsurprisingly have the same units. In case of Gasoline and Wood, we take the Energy Density as the Heat of Combustion per unit mass. But Combustion is yet another chemical reaction, a redox reaction. Except that in this case, we utilize the heat instead of the flow of electrons. What are the other sources of energy? Another one would be the energy from motion (Wind, Water), Geothermal (Heat), Solar (Li...
