Life is a Lab! To Learn, read. To understand, think. To know, write. To master, teach.
It is a curious and helpful thing to know how much time the food we eat takes to digest. Digestion time is different than the time the food remains in our body before it gets expelled.

Keeping up with every year’s tradition on this blog, I am doing a preliminary translation of the 2019 world predictions by Michel Hayek.

Jesus is quoted to say in the Bible:
He among you who is without sin, let him cast the first stone
Everyone fell in silence and cast away their stones and started dispersing.
Jesus answered well the inquiring crowd but one might wonder if what he said also applies to him?
Was Jesus without sin? If so, why he did not cast the first stone according to the law?
Was Jesus not a child? Was he not mischievous?
Every kid is mischievous, that is part of growing up, including Jesus. I remember when I was in my childhood and preteen years, how my parents and society kept haunting me as a sinner for doing anything that they don’t agree with. Do you want to convince me that the teen Jesus did not give headaches to his parents or caused problems?
No wonder that the Bibles we have in circulations exclude his childhood stories. Those who control the populace from behind the scenes had a different agenda: they wanted to portray Jesus as being perfect and everyone else is born a sinner and can never be perfect.
In all cases, remember this:
Do as we say, not as we do
No one is perfect on Earth. Everyone errs, and that is not the end of the world.

The other day, I ran into a riddle:
A brother said to his sister: “I have as many sisters as brothers”
His sister replied: “I have twice as many brothers as I have sisters”How many brothers and sisters exist in this family?
I figured that it’s a nice exercise for the Z3 theorem prover. All I had to do is express the riddle in a series of constraints and ask Z3 to try to find a solution.
The following is a Z3Py program that expresses the riddle:
import z3
# Create a solver instance
s = z3.Solver()
# Create two variables representing the total number of males and females (m and f)
m, f = z3.Ints('m f')
# The brother said: I have as many brothers as sisters
s.add(m - 1 == f)
# The sister said: I have twice as much brothers as I have sisters
s.add(2 * (f - 1) == m)
# Check for the solution
if s.check() == z3.sat:
sol = s.model()
print "Brothers: %d, Sisters: %d" % (sol[m].as_long(), sol[f].as_long())
When we run the solver, we get the following solution:Â 4 males, 3 females.
If you prefer the good old systems of equations, we can solve it like this:
The brother said: m - 1 = f (1) The sister said: 2 * (f - 1) = m (2) So we have 2 equations, let's do some substitution: -> f = m - 1 (1) -> 2f - 2 = m (2) --> m = 2f - 2 (2) --> f = 2f - 2 - 1 (1) --> f = 2f - 3 --> f - 2f = -3 --> -f = -3 --> f = 3 --> m = 2f - 2 --> m = 2*3 - 2 --> m = 6 - 2 --> m = 4

A while back, I was watching the Mahabharat series by B.R Chopra. It contains lots of nice moral stories and wisdom. One thing I am sharing with you is the following:
He has two friends: Hard work and caution.
The warrior who can vanquish these enemies and befriend these two friends will be undefeatable.A person should not be jealous.
Jealousy neutralizes a person’s good points.

Hello,
In a previous blog post, I showed you how to write a polyglot Batch file that is both a Batch script and a C++ source file. When the Batch file is executed, it compiles itself (as C++). In this blog post I am going to show you how to write a Batch file script that polls the file system periodically to see if a given input file is changed and if so, it will invoke the compiler or interpreter of your choice.
This concept is similar to what the Compiler Explorer does actually.
I am going to write a small script that keeps running your Python script automatically in a separate console window the moment you save the script in your editor. Check the script in action:
