While Matlab installed just fine for me in Ubuntu, it greeted me with errors in Fedora. Here’s how I got it working¹. Hope this helps someone.

With the ongoing privacy issues being raised due to Whatsapp’s new policy updates, many people are trying to switch over to Signal. It is a secure encrypted messenger that has been endorsed by many people including Elon Musk. Hence, I was also one of the new flocks in Signal and soon discovered that it is not officially available for Fedora.

Runge-Kutta methods are one of the most widely used methods for numerically solving differential equations. In this post, I will explain how to implement the vectorised code for solving coupled ODEs using fourth order RK methods in GNU-Octave. The same code can be easily translated to matlab with minimal changes.

 I had recently switched to KDE from Gnome and was looking for an Alternative for Geary. I really liked how fast Geary was and neither Thunderbird nor KMail could act as a replacement for my need(Simple and fast). Before giving up for another Electron app, I gave a try to Trojita and immediately fell in love with its speed. It was blazingly fast to the extent even Geary could never match! This is a simple guide to setup Trojita for Gmail. 

With the sudden explosion of Available games and modern looks, coupled with their increased performance and support, the Linux distros like Ubuntu are having more users who do not have a techie background. But, it would be easier to do certain things if you know some basics of getting around with Terminal by side. So, here are some segregated features to help you get started.

Million shimmers of broken glasses
Singing the dirge of the world they once lived
An aged tale of life and death
Eating the living souls relentlessly.
Against this ocean of merciless despair
A lone figure with metallic heartbeats
A warmonger standing up for life
A storm that’s out of breath
A dead soldier ready to die again.

All these days look like violent storm
Brewing darkness with lightnings and thunders.
All these efforts carry a silent tear
A dreary run to repair the past and the future.
As the clock ticks out the time’s slow death
We try again and again to rise above the rest.
For all that we want to do
Can only be done
If the heart tastes that rare fruit of
Hard-earned success.

The things that eyes see
And the things that my ears catch
Collide together
To build this mental sphere
Where assumptions rule in monarchy
And everything spins around me.

Helios, I am, with deep blues
And nascent green patches
Rumbling thunders and raging summers
And shimmering winters and springs of all colours
These build me up into this ecosystem
And that defines
Who I am.

If you have ever been to the buzzing city of Chennai, you wouldn’t have traveled correctly unless you’ve traveled in one of those three wheeled vehicles painted in yellow and draped in black. Like a bunch of bees on a mission, these Auto Rickshaws (or, as we lovingly call them — Autos) connect the nook and corners of the city swarming around the clock. These people have also pioneered the revolutionary service that has taken the world by storm — ride sharing. If you ever get on one of those “Share Autos” you are riding for a fare as cheap as a public bus without losing the versatility of your personal bike. You would hold on to whichever piece of exposed frames you can as he chases the traffic taking routes on and off the road! Ah! What a joy ride you are signing up for! But, this post isn’t just an ode. Its my day’s story and how these people shaped it up into a wonderful day. (Disclaimer: Not that wonderful but wonderful enough!)
