It furthermore protects your privacy further by also blocking all the trackers and thus is the Safer Choice for a Web Browser.

Making a game in HTML & CSS is the favorite thing for developers. By using these two languages developers can make any game.

In this tutorial, I'm going to teach you how you can make a mouse click test game using HTML and javascript. It is going to be a very simple tutorial.

If you are a beginner to HTML and CSS still you can learn from this tutorial. I'm going to make this tutorial very simple so everyone could get knowledge.

What does this game do?

The main function of this game is to calculate the clicks. Most gamers use this simple game to test and improve their mouse-clicking speed.

As you know in some games you have to hit your mouse hard to compete with your competitor. So gamers try this test to get better at clicking.

Here is how the game will look after completion. It has a simple interface so anyone can play it easily.

User engagement is the phrasing, which estimates what clients do on your site and how they do it, have turned out to be unofficial ranking sign with Google.

Gone are the days when posting a 400-word article with 2% keywords density could help a page's search rankings. Presently, low-quality content has an undeniably progressively negative effect on a website, making it suffocate in an ocean of content that was made only for SEO purposes.

To develop a native Android app, you can straight use all the features and functionality attainable on an Android device (phone or tablet). But for that, you have to use the Android platform's Java API framework. This API will help you perform multiple tasks like, drawing text, playing sounds or videos, add colours on the screen, and communicating with a device's hardware sensors. 

Well, there are several APIs that are used to build a mobile app, but when it comes to Android app development, then most of the professionals prefer using Android Studio.

Technology has become our best friend in all aspects of life, including business. Business tools are also connected to technology. Whether you want accounting tools or inventory software, it's all just a click away.

Advancement in technology has made business management relatively easy when compared to previous decades. All types of companies use business tools to increase their business potential. However, many entrepreneurs still question the credibility and importance of these business tools. If you have some doubts as well, read this blog to get your questions answered.

Artificial Intelligence is a very big industry today and we hear about it in every product we use. However, to date, AI typically refers to «machine learning» models that use probability theory to determine what to do. For example, if you buy books on mathematics, Amazon may have calculated that your chance of buying a physics book is 70% and a biology book is 20%. Hence, it will show you physics books in your feed, as it gives them a higher change to making a sale.

Is it possible to be an entrepreneur and NOT know how to code?

You have a great idea for a product / platform / app / startup that you cannot wait to launch and sell. But before you do that, you’d have to test your idea through the minimum viable version of your product.

And to build your MVP (minimum viable product), you’d need to code, right? Wrong!

You don’t need coding chops to build your MVP. And neither do you need to beg engineers to become technical co-founders.

With a no-code MVP, you can validate your idea sooner and test if it has the potential to succeed. Let’s explore how you can convert your business idea into MVP without writing a single line of code.

But first, what exactly is an MVP?

MVP or minimum viable product is the first version of the product for your target audience. It essentially means the most basic version of your product you can get out for the audience.

The idea here is to focus only on enough features with which you can test your concept’s workability and then work on its continuous development based on user feedback.

From a distance, it seems like the designers of the IT industry have it all. The infinite learning curve, an outlet for innovation, socializing with copywriters, developers and marketers, and always being part of a creative team. It truly is a great time for all designers out there.

However, the work process can often become mundane and progress becomes hard to track over time. People from different job profiles seem to be speaking a different language than you and things seem harder than ever. Well in this article all your problems will be addressed and I will try to present to you the solutions that are suitable for your design team.

All of us like to have an extra edge while playing games (i mean cheat codes :P ). Most games have such codes that allow you to alter the gaming experience while many other games find it illegal to use such hacks.

But, have you thought about how all this works?

Let us understand it by actually ‘HACKING’ one of the simplest games out there — the T-rex runner.

For those who do not know, it is a side scrolling runner game that appears on the ‘No Internet’ screen of Google Chrome.

This 8-bit-type game features a tiny t-rex which runs through a desert. You have to avoid the t-rex from hitting the obstacles like cacti etc. Believe me, it is simple but addictive.

We will be using simple Javascript commands to tweak the game for fun!

Sounds cool? Let's do it.

1. Getting into the game’s console

First, disconnect your device from the internet and open Google Chrome. Enter any url and you will see the no internet screen with a t-rex dino.

If you want to stay online for some reason, simply enter ‘chrome://dino’ in the address bar.

Now, right click inside the window and click the Inspect option from the menu. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key combination — Ctrl+Shift+I.

In the side panel which opens, you will be able to see the source code of the game. Next, click the console tab. This is the place where we will run our simple Javascript code to alter the game.

В последнее время, чтобы повысить эффективность работы при обработке данных в таблицах Excel, я часто использую для расчетов различные формулы функций Excel. В этой статье я расскажу, как использовать Free Spire.XLS для Java для добавления формул в ячейки Excel и чтения формул в ячейках.

Конфигурация среды

Установите пакет jar через репозиторий Maven, и код для настройки файла pom.xml выглядит следующим образом:

The best of learning something is by implementing it especially when you are a beginner. In this post, I am sharing how I made a simple mouse clicking game using HTML5 and JS. It will help you understand the basic concepts of Javascript such as event handling and counters.

Before I start anything, let me be very clear about the fact that this post has almost nothing for the people who already know the basics of Javascript. I am writing this out just from the beginner’s point of view.

So let's get started!

The Aim

In a really simple sense, we are going to make a game which counts the number of clicks you do in a set time interval and calculates your clicking speed. We will show the clicking speed and total clicks at the end of the game.

The UI will be absolutely basic. There are no shimmering graphics; its just one button and the counters.

Here's the first look.

The Logic

As mentioned, we need to count the number of clicks made by the user. So, we will add an Event Listener using Javascript to check if the mouse button is clicked inside the button area.

And, to save the count, we will use a counter whose value increases on every mouse click event. There will be another counter for time. The default time period will be 10s.

The final score will be calculated using the total number of clicks divided by the time and we will display it at the end of the game.

Before we move the actual code, I want to give a small acknowledgement to a tool called Click Test which inspired this simple game I made for learning purpose.

Creating the Interface

Let us begin by creating a simple page with a headline, a box for counters and a button inside it for clicking. I have used the basic red color for everything but you are free to show your CSS skills and make it fancier.

Next, we need to implement the counter for clicks on the button. A simple JS snippet provided does the magic for this.

They say: ‘Brevity is the soul of wit’, so let’s get started.

Introduction

When I began to learn Python I came across a very curious subject, namely Real Numbers. It was about the mantissa, the exponent, and other details like the storage of bits in computers.


It turns out that computers operate integer numbers easily, but real numbers are more complicated.

Nature of the problem

Because of the essence of the floating — point numbers their processing has no absolute accuracy. It seemed to me nonsense that computers can’t compute precise values of ordinary two real numbers at least. How’s this possible? Yeah, actually, a computer programme isn’t able to add just two numbers without discrepancy.

x = 0.1
y = 0.2
print(x + y)  # 0.30000000000000004 

Well, close enough you might say. Who cares about 17th decimal sign. But imagine you need to compute twenty numbers not two as in the example. Think about the error rises exponentially.
Tell me about libraries like a NumPy. They don’t solve the problem as well.

Online frauds are quickly gaining traction among cybercriminals. The primary reason is that manipulating humans is much easier than exploiting software or hardware flaws. Although the success rate of Internet scams is low compared to the efficiency of sure-shot attacks relying on zero-day vulnerabilities, the simplicity of pulling them off is a lure that eclipses all the drawbacks.

A hoax dubbed sextortion (sex + extortion) is a dynamically growing vector of this abuse. Having debuted in 2018, it acts upon a victim’s natural commitment to avoiding embarrassment.

This technique mostly involves an email saying that a hacker has infiltrated the recipient’s device and captured a webcam video of the person watching adult videos. The bluffer threatens to upload this footage to a publicly accessible site. To prevent this from happening, the user is instructed to pay a ransom.

There are several mainstream techniques in sextortion scammers’ portfolios. Whereas they all follow basically the same logic, the themes of these fraudulent messages vary. Here is a summary of all these tricks known to date.

Всем привет.

Мне понадобилось на работе подсчитать LT и построить график Rolling Retention. После небольшого исследования, я поняла, что тема является насущной и неплохо было бы написать обо всех шагах, дабы кому-то это обязательно пригодится.

В основном, я опиралась на пример от Марии Мансуровой и библиотеку, написанную Darshil Desai и добавила кое-что свое.
https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/miptgirl/misc_code/blob/master/webinar_case.ipynb
medium.com/analytics-vidhya/user-retention-in-python-8c33fa5766b6

Теория по подсчету LT хорошо написана здесь и здесь.

Итак, я выбрала следующие пути:

1. Я взяла когорты пользователей — зарегистрировавшихся с 1 Января по 31 Января 2020, c 1 Февраля по 29 Февраля и т.д. вплоть до Апреля. Посчитала LT в месяцах, предварительно выкинув пользователей 'проживших' один день. То есть внесших депозит и больше не появляющихся в какой-либо день за полгода.
2. Я брала всех пользователей, даже тех кто прожил 1 день и рассчитывала когорты по неделям среди всех, зарегистрировавшихся с 1 января по 29 февраля 2020 года.

Я строила Rolling Retention. Его основное отличие от классического Retention в том, что в данном случае, смотрится первая дата активности и последняя, и считается, что пользователь заходил на сайт каждый месяц/неделю/день.

Итак, 1-ый способ

Для начала введем код в ячейку в Jupyter Notebook и установим следующую библиотеку:
