It is 3pm in the afternoon and I was doing my usual task writing some code. I accidentally came across an interesting code that actually saves your processing power when implemented. Let me show you my findings.
I’m using PHP by the way to code a project that handles several processes at a time. I stumbled on this funny situation where you have to code a “sleep” function that runs a pause in an execution momentarily and then resumes. Putting this in real life experience, you have to take a break some times even if you got a ton of work at least get a minute or two to get yourself together then start working again.
Ok now here’s the scenario, I put a sleep method and this is what happens...
the code:
what's happening:
Since I put a sleep method, the CPU is quite calm (at least for me)
If you remove the sleep method this is what happens...
the code:
what's happening:
When i removed the sleep method the CPU's processing became quite hectic and that's because it is doing tasks continuously.
So, resting doesn’t only apply in real life but also our machines can benefit from it! Keep in mind that sleep… is also important.
And so another anime popped out from my anime to-watch queue. This anime somewhat reminded me of the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann which was in a word 'epic'. Soul eater is one of those series that would keep you entertained as the action continues. The animation was excellent and I couldn't ask more for the sound effects as well as the sound track. In other words it was GOOD. Soul eater starts with a meister named Maka and a weapon named Soul who in turn starts to purge the world of evil souls and a witch. Meisters are people who can control their weapons and 'resonate' with a weapon's soul. I was really intrigued as they mentioned in the first episode that they need 99 evil souls and 1 witch soul to get to make a Death Scythe. As the story progresses, I witness a lot of adventures of a group of meisters. There are a lot of awesome fight scenes and very humorous scenarios that would definitely entertain you. While I was still watching soul eater I overheard some of my colleagues mentioning about the ending of the anime and I somewhat heard something about it being sucky. Well the manga hasn’t ended yet and the anime producers did a good job for ending the series. It seems that I need to keep up with the manga too in the future but for now I’m satisfied.
