MICROSOFT AND OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGIES

Have you ever thought Microsoft a company who sells it's products like Windows OS, Visual Studio, Azure and all much more in hundreds and thousands of dollars would produce something for free? At Microsoft as a matter of fact even the Sticky Note is not free.😝

I never imagined Microsoft would launch a product and not license it as their Proprietary Asset. Neither I had never imagined it would invest its time and money on Free and Open Source Technologies. But it surprised the whole world in last few years. If you have observed the milestone of Microsoft, you would be surprised as I'm these days. Not only Microsoft was interested on Open Source Technologies in past couple of years but also it Launched a handful of Tools and made them Open Source.

Sounds like I'm exaggerating, but below are some of the Tools and technologies launched by Microsoft as Open Source. This will also leave you with a question mark "why is such a huge company  so much interested on FOSS and what would be the future surprises for Open Source Enthusiasts and the Microsoft Lovers.

.NET Core

Microsoft released .NET Core as an open source product on November 12, 2014. This was a huge day for .NET migrating from its Proprietary circle to the open source. The runtime as well as the framework libraries were also made open source together with .NET Core.

.NET Core is a modular development stack that is the foundation of all future .NET platforms. It’s already used by ASP.NET 5 and .NET Native.

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It is also customizable, so users can change the editor's theme, keyboard shortcuts, and preferences.

Microsoft released Visual Studio Code on November 18, 2015. And to highlight some of the surprising facts, Recently Microsoft is the one with Highest Commit on GitHub. This fact will be surprising to the Open Source Lovers and also to the Microsoft developer community

PowerShell

PowerShell(including Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core) is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework.

18 August, 2016 Microsoft announced some of the components of PowerShell as Open Source.

Black Duck Integration with Visual Studio

Black Duck are popular for development of automated open-source code management tools. It's on the news that Microsoft is integrating Black Duck's Hub program with Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services (TS), formerly Visual Studio Online, and Team Foundation Server (TFS).

I Just highlighted some of the Open Source Tools that was developed by Microsoft. With these findings that I worked on I'm interested in the milestones of Microsoft. I want to explore what is it going to release next in near future. Also how will it contribute to the Open Source Community and at the same time handle its Proprietary product and huge customer base. So I think I should also write some more blogs on each of these open source tools and all curiosities I have. Being an Open Source Enthusiast, it would be awesome to compare and contrast the features available in these tools. Also I can get an idea on the motive behind Microsoft's investment to the Open Source Tools.

Flight Mode (Airplane Mode) : On or Off

Traveling by plane has been one medium of faster transportation for few decades. Crossing miles & miles within a minute has made our life really simple. Air Transportation somehow signifies we are quite familiar with the fact of turning our phones into flight mode or airplane mode and turning some of our electronic devices off.

Question may arise why we need to do this stuff especially, during take off and landing. Why electronic device should be turned off during flight? Can the 900$ phone take 90 million dollar jet to the ground and burn it with its own jet fuel, just because

we didn't turn our phone off to the FLIGHT MODE?

Airplane cockpit i.e. the front part of the plane where pilot takes control over the plane is filled of highly sensitive equipment required for navigating, communicating and other requirement for safe flight. All electronic devices have electromagnetic field that can interfere with the radio frequencies. It’s not only the cell phone but there is electromagnetic radiation that emits from every electronic personal devices and interfere with the the plane’s navigation system, communication system. The electronic signal can also interfere with the signals between the plane and radio station during takeoff and landing.

Safety officials worries that the electromagnetic radiation might interfere with this sensitive equipment in the airplane and creates safety issues. Devices like portable DVD found to drift airplane GPS system few degrees (research from few years ago). This thing can be resolved by turning it off.

If you argue with the flight attendant over using cell phone, you could be arrested and taken off the flight. If you intimate the flight attendant, you could be jailed for decades.

Likewise, issue of frequency reuse also happens simultaneously.

The frequency can’t be distributed all over the places with single tower. So the cell phone company establishes tower from place to place to reuse the same frequency. With car driving along and people communicating from office and home, there is a little chance that this frequency will overlap in another area and create problems. 

It wont be hard to make a call when you are on a ground. You just communicate through single frequency with single tower. However during the flight when you are flying 500 miles per hour moving around the signal will reach out in different towers with the same frequency at same time and interfere with the ground base cell phone system. And increases the possibility to interfere with the plane’s equipment.

In America because of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) one should put their phones with airplane mode on. FCC regulations ban the use of cell phones on planes in order to ‘protect against radio interference to cell phone networks on the ground.”

Present time most of the airplane flight provides on air time. Newer plane technology uses the pico cell which acts like a mini cell tower or base station on board and allows the plane on a flight and tower on the ground to interact normally. Basically, the range of a pico cell is 200m or less which is suitable for the plane on flight. Air France was the first airline to allow the use of cell phone in their planes to mail text make receive call.

“It’s never been proven that a mobile phone signal has interfered with the navigation performance of the aircraft. But just because it’s never happened doesn’t mean it will never happen.”

Google Translate TTS : Text to speech in Nepali Language (टेक्स्ट टु स्पीच यीन नेपाली)

Google has recently released another feature in Google Translate for Nepali Language i.e. TTS(Text to Seech). Now on you can listen the Nepali pronunciation of any words that can be translated in Nepali Language.

This feature was previously available for most of other languages. While Nepali Language didn't have enough resource( which is obviously proper and meaningful dataset that could be processed). 

In order to hear the words that you type you can simply go to translate.google.com type in a word in your desired language and translate it to Nepali. Below the translated word you can find a speaker button. Just press it and you will hear the voice from Google.

Sudeep has made a short and sweet tutorial  on Youtube to demonstrate this newly available feature. Watch the video and you will know how to use it easily. Please provide feedback on our video content. This is our first attempt on Video Tutorial Making.

Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Kathmandu University, Nepal, celebrated International Open Data Day in Kathmandu University Central Campus, Dhulikhel on 4^th March, 2017. The event was organized by Kathmandu University Open Source Community(KUOSC) an autonomous wing of Kathmandu University Computer Club in order to mark, promote and encourage use of Open Data in Nepal. Open Data Day is celebrated every year throughout the world to bring together the people and organizations based on shared enthusiasm for open data.

During the talk program Volunteers from KUOSC shared their ideas and experience on Open Source Technology and use of Open Data. Pratit Raj Giri explained the motive of the program. He further talked about what is open data and the state of open data in Nepal. Rishi Raj Gautam  shared about how could we contribute for Open Data in Nepal. Sandeep Neupane shared his idea and experience from the survey he had done in Kavre district related to Open Data. He shared his experiences and findings on the program. Mahesh kafle new open source enthusiast of KUOSC, talked about how to get involved in open data. He shared his experience from the Recent Open Data Hackathon that was organized in the Kathmandu. Sanjog Sigdel also added few points on contributing to Open Source Community and Open Data. He also talked about his contribution on Open Street Mapping, Ubuntu Localization and Wikipedia at the end of the program.

Everyone who attended the program came to a conclusion to make a commitment to contribute for Open Data.They also did some brainstorming and came up with an idea of Hackathon within the University to promote Open Source Technologies. They came to a conclusion that this Hackathon could identify possibilities of doing a long term Open Source Project which could be continued by their juniors.

In different part of country, Open Source Enthusiasts and Open Hacktivists are celebrating OPEN DATA DAY. You can find the hash tag #OpenDataDay trending on  Social Networking Sites.

Here are some glimps of today's wonderful event:

OPEN DATA DAY 2017 | ओपेन डाटा डे २०१७

यहि मिति २०७३ फाल्गुन २१ गते तद अनुसार मार्च ४ २०१७ का दिन विश्वभरि वर्ल्ड डाटा डे मनाइएको छ। वर्ल्ड डाटा डे को अवसरमा नेपालमा पनि विभिन्न कार्यक्रमहरु आयोजना गरिएको छ। यसैक्रममा काठमाडौँ विश्वविद्यालयको कम्प्युटर साइन्स तथा इञ्जिनियरिङ्ग विभागको कम्प्युटर क्लबले पनि डाटा डे लाई काठमाडौँ विश्वविद्यालयको केन्द्रिय क्याम्पस धुलिखेलमा एक कार्यक्रम गरेर भव्यताका साथ सम्पन्न गरेको छ। कार्यक्रम काठमाडौँ युनिभर्सिटी कम्प्युटर क्लबको ओपन सोर्स सम्बन्धि कम्युनिटी, काठमाडौँ युनिभर्सिटी ओपन सोर्स कम्युनिटीले  गरेको थियो।

Open Data Day 2017

Open Data Day is a gathering of citizens around the world to write applications, liberate data, create visualizations and publish analysis using open data. It is an effort to show support and encourage the adoption of open data policies by worlds local, regional and national government.

Open data is yearly event based on shared enthusiasm for open data since 2010. This year also with the same enthusiasm we are celebrating Open Data Day on March 4, 2017. Last year 262 cities celebrated open data day. During this event, participants are able to grab an opportunity to share their experiences with open data, open map, future projects, etc.

Why is it celebrated in Kathmandu, Nepal?

Kathmandu is one among many cities around the world taking part in international movement on open data to create awareness of what and how it can be greater use to government and to general public. With the communities like Open Nepal, Kathmandu Living Labs, Open Knowledge Foundation, FOSS Nepal, Mozilla Nepal, Wikimedia Nepal; open data has now established an important concept and these communities played a role in promoting transparency, accountability and citizen engagement in Nepal.

What will happen during Open Data Day in 2017 in Kathmandu?

Open Data Day is all about motivating data enthusiasts around the world. Following the same spirit Open Data Day 2017- Kathmandu will provide opportunities for people to explore and collaborate on open data for solving issues regarding public procurement and health in Nepal. They are organizing a various programs such as:

Thematic presentation and Panel Discussion

Lightning talk session

Hackathon showcase ( P. S. this event has began from 25th February, 2017)

Who can participate?

Open Data Day 2017 is for everyone. Anyone with an interest in open data , open map, transparency, accountability and civics can participate. Participation is free of cost BUT they must come with passion to learn, share and collaborate.

3 Quick Tips to Help You Use Facebook More Effectively

I don’t think it is necessary to introduce Facebook. With almost a billion plus users around the globe, Facebook is the top social networking site, at present. The social network allows its users to share photos & videos, update status about what they’ve been up to, manage businesses via pages, chat with friends, play games, and more.

Facebook has always updated itself according to the need of the time and its users. Tons of new features have been brought into play and dozens of times the user-interface has changed, since it first went online in 2004.

But there are specific updates and features which some users might not want to make use of.

Firstly, there are some Facebook users who might not play games and use apps on Facebook. They just want to get status updates, interact in status & photos. If these people start receiving tons of Facebook games requests, they’re definitely going to get irritated.

HOW TO STOP RECEIVING GAME REQUESTS ON FACEBOOK

Games like Candy Crush Saga, Farmville, Criminal Case, Mafia Wars, and many more keep on sending notifications which are actually very irritating for especially non gamers like me myself. I hate them more than anyone else.

Blocking Game Requests on Facebook

• Login to your Facebook Account
• Go to Settings > Account Settings
• Click on Apps
• Go to Platform
• On next page you’ll be asked if you want to receive notifications for games invite or not. Simply click NO

Now on you’ll never receive any sorts of requests or invites from games on Facebook.

Secondly, not every Facebook users might be making use of WiFi while surfing their news feed. Recently, Facebook rolled out an update which makes videos play automatically, without having you to click on the play button. Well, those users using Mobile data (without subscription) are definitely going to have problem in this case.

HOW TO DISABLE VIDEOS AUTO-PLAY ON FACEBOOK

From Mobile/Tablet FACEBOOK app,

• Open the application, click the option on the top right below the chat bar
• App setting > Videos play automatically
• Click the option off
• Likewise you can use On or WiFi only options whenever required

From desktop,

• Login to your Facebook account
• Visit Setting
• Go to, Videos > Auto play videos, and turn it Off

That is it! You can now soundly go through your Facebook news feed without worrying about your mobile data usage.

Lastly, If you are on a slower wireless network, or using Mobile data to surf Facebook on your Mobile phone, you can choose a proper setting to control how much data Facebook uses on your phone.

Photos are the data hungry element of Facebook; higher the quality of photos – the more it takes time to load the page. So when you’re on a slower WiFi network or on mobile data, you might want to decide how you want your posts to appear while surfing Facebook.

CONTROL HOW MUCH DATA FACEBOOK DOWNLOADS ON YOUR PHONE

• Login to your Facebook account on your phone
• Scroll down to the bottom and click Settings & Privacy
• Open General Page
• Tap on Edit next to Data Usage
• Choose one option between : Less, Normal & More

What does Less, Normal & More Data Usage Mean on Facebook

• Less data usage means Facebook will no more display any photos on your newsfeed.
• Normal data usage means Facebook will show all the photos, but in low quality.
• More data usage means Facebook will show all the photos in high quality. If you’re on a much faster Wireless network or you’ve mobile data package subscription then you might want to select this option.

How to Get .NP Domain Name for Free

If you’re unaware about this then let me make you clear that you can easily get .np domain name either for personal use or for your business purposes. The domain registrations done under under .NP ccTLD (A country code top-level domain is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country, sovereign state, or dependent territory identified with a country code. All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.) is free of cost and is done by Mercantile Communications.

You can apply for a domain like COM.NP, ORG.NP, EDU.NP, NET.NP, GOV.NP, NAME.NP, etc. These are only some of the domains, if you want the full list please visit register.com.np. And today in this post I’ll discuss how easily you can register a .NP domain name for yourself.

Disclaimer: .NP domains are available only for Nepalese citizens and businesses based in Nepal.

Without wasting time around, let’s move directly to the tutorial. I’ll try my best to explain whatever steps you’ll have to go through for .NP domain registration. For your comfort, I recommend watching the above video.

HOW TO REGISTER .NP DOMAIN NAME FOR FREE

• Open up your browser and go to register.com.np.
• Now enter any domain name and check if it is available. Once you come across an available domain, and you’re satisfied, drag the box to the basket on the right.
• Next thing you’ll have to do is register for the site. Choose a username, and enter your email ID and verify it. And finally click on the red ‘register’ button (it will become red when you’re done).
• Check your email and activate your account. After activation, enter your username and password to login to the site.
• In the new page, you’ll see that you’re domain has been added to just requested tab. Now click on ‘edit’ and you’ll be taken to next page where you’ll have to enter your details.
• Enter your details: your name, address, phone & mobile number. After you’ve added these details, click on ‘NameServers’ from the sidebar on the left.
• This is an important section.  Here you’ll be asked to upload your scanned photo of either your citizenship or passport or driving license. Once you select the scanned file, click on upload button. And your scanned photo will be uploaded on the site.
• And below you’ll have to enter name serves for your domain. Okay, you might ask what are name server. For clear understanding, I recommend you to research about it.

That’s it! Now after one or two days your domain name will be registered.

Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing : A SUMMARY

DISCUSSION

Conventionally cloud can be referred as Service over Internet and hardware, but now the term cloud computing is referred for Software as a service. Cloud is now the demand for all tech giants due to some of the benefits like: decrease in cost of electricity, network bandwidth, operations, hardware availability at very large economic scale. We can make a lot of money, leverage existing investment, define a franchise, become a platform and attack a business incubation, by adapting the cloud computing. Cloud services were not user earlier, it is due to the reliability scale which was not prominent. But now cloud efficiently provides new tech trends and business models included as cloud platform. Cloud these days provide new application opportunities, mobile interactive application and parallel batch processing , which has been the reason for catching the huge mass of cloud service consumers. 

FINDINGS

Cloud computing strongly follows the ‘pay-as-you-go’ principle, which enables the feature elasticity providing its vendors the usage based pricing. Cloud vendors provide Virtualized resources as computation models or Virtual Machine, Storage model and Networking model. Cloud is more economic to rely on then other existing alternatives. Cloud computing application is focused on three models: Model of Computation, Storage and Communication. Software Licensing as an alternative cloud provides Pay-for-use Licensing. Conventional alternatives has limited storage but cloud provides invent storage Data-Lock In was the main issue in conventional alternatives whereas cloud provides many standardize APIs for maintaining and manipulating our data. Earlier there were no availability of services to host or run our system, but now cloud providers provide business continuity. Even cloud uses Elasticity to defend against the DDoS attacks. Cloud has improved virtual machine support: Flash memory gang scheduling Virtual Machines. Earlier bugs in Large-Scale Distributed Systems were a major issue, bug in a single hub used to damage the whole system but cloud provides invent debugger that relies on distributed virtual machines which solves the bugs without hampering the system. 

ARGUMENTS

From the cloud provider’s view, the construction of very large data centers at low cost sites using commodity computing, storage and networking uncovers the possibility of selling those resources on a pay-as-you-go model below the costs of many medium sized data centers, while making a profit by statistically multiplexing among a large software startup to build its own data centre as it would for a hardware startup to build its own fabrication line. Cloud specifically focuses on following concerns:

• Application Software of the future will likely have a piece that runs on clients and a piece that runs in the cloud. The cloud piece needs to both scale down rapidly as well as scale up, which is a new requirement for software systems.
• Infrastructure Software of the future needs to be cognizant that it is no longer running on bare metal but on virtual machines.
• Moreover, it needs to have billing system built in from the beginning, as it is very difficult to retrofit an accounting system. 
• Hardware Systems of the future needs to be designed at the scale of a container (at least a dozen racks ) rather than single rack.

Graphene Super Capacitor : Future of dash charging

Today’s technology has push the mobile devices far beyond than its limit. We can possibly imagine how smart phones has made our life comfortable and straightforward. With the ratio of developing smart phones their batteries hasn’t been able to be in the point where they should be. Of course there are dash charging but still they are time consuming and not completely developed as they need to be. And still we are adopting the traditional way of charging, using lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries. 

The concept of Graphene Super Capacitor might be the history changer for tomorrow’s world of fast charging. A battery, high energy storage charges slowly and discharges slowly this ability is energy density. Similarly, capacitor , a low energy storage charges rapidly and discharges rapidly which is the power density. Combining the best of both will lead to fast charging and slow discharging. Super capacitors lies between the concept of this two energy storage methods. 

Eesha Khare, a graduate from Lynbrook High School California developed a super capacitor prototype that charges very rapidly and would last longer for more charging cycles. And was runner up at Intel International Science and engineering Fair (2013) bringing out this prototype. Its still prototype in the current state but proved to be work.

Her prototype could be fully charged within time interval of 20-30 seconds and hold the charge for longer like on other similar devices. It lasts for 10,000 cycles compared to batteries in current world 1000 cycles. Much greater achievement in field of energy storage.

Nano scale and mass scale fabrication hasn’t been practically possible on today’s world. Gradually, scaling up this prototype will lead to powering phones and electric cars. Like increasing the technology the maH of batteries will also certainly increase in the future. 

Imagine plugging your phone in, charging it for about 20 second and of that charge it will work one day or more.

A Day's power in half an hour: One plus 3T

Like it's said 'Life is a race.If you don' run fast you'll get trampled'. And here we are talking about the most important part of a human life 'A cell phone'. We all have studied that cell is the basic unit of our life,so is our cell phones😼.
Like we are dependent on our cell phones, our cell phones are dependent on their batteries. What if we run fast in our life but our phone doesn't? What if we have to make an important call and your phone shows a low battery? What if you want to capture the best moment of your life and damn battery is low again? I mean who wants that? We expect our phone to work at least for a day without charging. We all are living in a busy life and we have no separate time to let our phone charge for hours. Big Problem, right??

And here keeping these all things in mind One plus have created a sibling phone named as OnePlus 3T. As the name suggests, this device is essentially a souped up or 'Turbo' version of Oneplus that builds on everything we loved about the first while giving it a slightly more competitive edge against the competition.
Oneplus 3T comes with Dash charge. Dash charge is faster, safer, cooler and simply better than any other charging technology available today. Unlike other technologies, charging remain consistent even while gaming, live-streaming or demanding activities. The 3400mAh battery features a 13% increase in capacity over the Oneplus 3 which gives the solution to all the battery problem we face in our busy life. It take just half an hour to charge which will last all day long.

Not only the charger and battery life OnePlus 3T has Qualcomn Snapdragon 821(2.5GHz) which runs the most demanding apps and games with enhanced performance. 6 GB of RAM can juggle countless task without slowing down and internal storage of up to 128GB means running out of space is a thing of the past. And the camera of this phone offers 16 MP front and rear camera which gives you the crisp and sharp shots because of the cutting-edge noise reduction and improved stabilization technologies. Lightening fast shutter speed, snappy auto focus and intelligent software combine to create unmatched smartphone camera experience.

As far as the design is concerned, the OnePlus 3T looks exactly like its older sibling, and features the same full metal uni body construction, with a slightly curved back and rounded sides and corners. Despite being made entirely of metal, the phone is surprisingly light, and because the back tapers along the edges, it feels thinner as well, making for a device that is very comfortable to hold.

With a 5.5 inch with AMOLED display with 1080p resolution we get rich and vibrant colors with lot of contrast, and the optical dark mode that is built-in to Oxygen OS taking fantastic advantage of deep inky blacks. If you are not fan of vibrancy though, it is also easy to switch to sRGB color mode display setting that provides a more natural and less saturated look.

" PLAY MORE, DO MORE,STORE MORE" this awesome featured gadget costs $439 in today's date. So, if your looking for a phone with dash charge, camera that allows you to click in every angle with 1080p resolution then do invest it on OnePlus 3T.
