Bitcoin and Ethereum: A Deep Dive into Blockchain Technology

Bitcoin Transactions

The $1000 is broken up into many smaller amounts and mixed in a tumbler with funds from other people. Then, the person receives $1000 from the tumbler, but with no connection to the addresses used to provide the original funds.

Analogy: Suppose you have a large group of people who each put cash in a closed box. Then, each person takes out from the box the exact amount that he put in, although the specific coins and bills

Random Scan Display vs. Raster Scan Display

Random Scan Display

  • Uses a vector drawing method that directly draws lines and shapes on the screen.
  • The resolution of random scan is higher than raster scan.
  • It is costlier than raster scan.
  • Any alteration is easy in comparison to raster scan.
  • In random scan, interlacing is not used. e.g., Pen Plotter.

Raster Scan Display

  • Uses an electron beam that scans the screen in a fixed pattern, line-by-line.
  • The resolution of raster scan is lesser or lower than random scan.

  1. What is the main function of timer interrupts?

    • They notify the system a given time interval has elapsed since the timer was set.

  2. Delaying disk–or SSD–writes:

    • May result in lost data if the system crashes.

  3. Accessing the disk drive of your computer is approximately:

    • 100,000 times slower than accessing its main memory.

  4. Which hardware mechanism allows a device to notify the CPU of an event?

    • Interrupts

  5. Memory protection is normally done through privileged instructions.

    • False

  6. A computer not having privileged

Understanding Web Development: From Static Pages to Dynamic Applications

Posted by on May 17, 2024 in Computers | 0 comments

Static vs. Dynamic Web Pages

A static web page is delivered and stored as web content.

A dynamic web page is generated by a web application on the server, using user input to the server.

Dynamic behavior is provided using JavaScript code embedded in the HTML of a web page or as separate linked files specified in the HTML.

HTML: The Foundation of Web Pages

An HTML document is a text file that tells a web browser how to assemble a web page.

  • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the markup language for creating

1. Software Engineering Fundamentals

1.1 Orientation & Requirements

Software Engineering refers to the tools and processes we use to design, construct, and maintain programs over time. It encompasses the entire software development life cycle:

Write/Refine Requirements → Create Tests → Design → Code → Debug or Redesign until Tests Past → Deploy/Collect feedback

1.2 Requirements Analysis

This phase focuses on making sure we are building the right thing. There are three major dimensions of
