The computer “bug” was named after a literal bug found in a computer.

In 1947, computer pioneer Grace Hopper found herself working on a Mark II Computer at Harvard University. It was at this time that her associates discovered a moth had gotten trapped in one of the computer’s relays and was causing an error. The operators removed the moth and taped it in their log book, identifying it as the “first actual case of bug being found.”

IIT Kanpur launches blockchain-based digital degrees

PM Modi on Tuesday launched a system to award blockchain-based educational degrees in digital form to students. IIT Kanpur director says these digital degrees can be verified globally and are unforgeable.

Experts believe that Blockchain technology will transform the way we store,PM Modi on Tuesday launched a system to award blockchain-based educational degrees in digital form to students. IIT Kanpur director says these digital degrees can be verified globally and are unforgeable.

What is Blockchain technology?
In layman terms, it is a chain or set of blocks that contain information about the sender and receiver info as well as the amount of money being transferred.

Why should you build a Blockchain career?
If you want to kickstart your career in a field that has a lot of potential for growth and cutting-edge tech, then becoming a Blockchain developer is a good option for you.
There is a huge demand for certified Blockchain developers, but there are not many of them. This is another reason why it makes sense to learn Blockchain in 2022 and become a certified developer.

How will Blockchain degree work?
Don't get confused! This is not a degree for some course on a Blockchain. This is a system of awarding digital degrees to students via blockchain technology.

The technology has been developed by the institute under the National Blockchain Project.

Researchers Develop Stable Materials to Help Create Solar Cells with Better Efficiency

Crystalline silicon is the most extensively used material for solar cells. However, in the last 10 years, perovskite solar cells, composed of metal halide perovskite materials, have demonstrated the potential to make cheaper and possibly more efficient solar cells than silicon.

But while perovskite solar cells can currently compete with regard to efficiency with more well-known silicon-based solar cells, a crucial challenge that remains unanswered is their chemical instability. Perovskite materials are highly sensitive to oxygen, moisture and even light, meaning they can deteriorate quickly in air.

A certain perovskite material known as formamidinium perovskite could help tackle this problem as its pure, black-colored crystal structure, called FAPbI3, is more chemically stable than a number of other perovskites. Its optical features are also much better matched to absorb light and generate electricity efficiently in a solar cell than present-day perovskite materials.

Google's First Tweet was in binary.

Google’s first tweet was in 2009, and it was gibberish to most. Translated from binary to English, it reads, “I’m feeling lucky”.

Wikipedia needs an army of anti-vandal bots

Wikipedia's mission is to make knowledge freely available to anyone with access to the Internet. However, anyone with internet can also sign up and edit pages – which results in what they call vandalism (someone purposefully altering facts with malice).

There is a very robust moderation system but there's only so much that a person can do, in terms of actively monitoring changes and correcting changes that vandals make.

That's where the bots — essentially computer programs — come in. The bots (like ClueBot-NG) keep a track of all changes made to any page and instantly revert back to the 'correct' version if a vandal decides to change things. About 1,941 bots are authorised for use on the 38,818,162 Wikipedia pages at last count.

QWERTY vs ABC layouts in advanced graphing calculators

Before smartphones, there was a time when digital diaries and advanced calculators were popular. They could be used to store simple forms of data and to perform calculations that students could use while solving differential equations apart from algebra and calculus capabilities.

While advanced calculators were 'allowed' to be taken into exam halls, many tests banned devices if they had QWERTY keyboards, simply because they fitted into the traditional definition of a 'computer'.

Texas Instruments solved the problem by introducing graphing calculators with keyboards that had an alphabetical layout.
