Building something for Engineers, Scientists and Mathematicians - Konjugate

In my career, I have worked on things that requires knowledge and skills in a wide variety of domains. And, while being a generalist, I have explored things to a great level of depth that I can produce results almost as good as any experts in these fields, although I would be a bit slower than the people who have been doing the same kind of things over and over again.

The advent of large language models is indeed a boon for someone like me. Indeed, it's a tool that helps you supercharge the knowledge that you already have, and, it can help you learn a lot more at a lot little time, provided you use it in the right way.

In the past three weeks, I have been working on a project, named Konjugate. Its a simulation tool centered around the idea that modeling interactions is the way to model things quickly. Imagine that you are describing a system with multiple interacting components, and you make a mental map of things. It is more than likely that your mental map is full of components as nodes and the interactions between them as edges. In Konjugate, you can build exactly that and then simulate.

The following are the links to the website and the GitHub repository for Konjugate.

Also, I have recorded a video and submitted it to YouTube for a quick intro/demo.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments here.

How to Create your own Ad Blocker Chrome Extension

Not very long ago, I read an article stating that Google banned advertisement blockers from its stores. There are several websites which does not let you in if you have an Ad blocker extension installed on your browser. I have not investigated on how these websites detect that, nor do I know whether our own version of advertisement blocker would be immune to that. But, isn't it fun to build something like this on our own? As the first step, I found a random website that has a Google Ad. I right clicked on the Google Ad and clicked on Inspect button. As I moved up the Elements inspector, I found that the id of the advertisement starts with "google_ads_". Therefore, I opened the console and typed in the following command: div = document.querySelector('[id^="google_ads_"]') This selected the div  that contained the advertisement. I went ahead and typed in the following command that would remove the div from the page. div.parentElement.remove...

Turning your phone into a virtual-joystick

Update: I kept working on this and I have released it as a package for Windows, Linux and macOS. Check it out: https://github.com/zenineasa/joystick/releases/tag/v1.0.0 -- During the days when I was pursying my master's programme, my friends and I used to occasionally go to a classroom in the university, turn on a projector, connect devices like Nintento Switch or Gaming computers and loads of joysticks, and play different simple multiplayer games; MarioKart was my favourite. From time-to-time, when I get together with people, I ponder that it would be a good idea if I bought such devices. Indeed, I do have a laptop, which could easily run such games; SuperTuxKart is similar enough to MarioKart and it can run on Linux, Windows and Mac. However, I do not have joysticks with me at the moment. Therefore, I think it would be a good idea if I simply worked on a project that would enable using our phones as joysticks. From a high-level, the plan is to host APIs on a NodeJS server that wo...

How to remove Blogger (or any free blogging platform) credits from the footer

I am not sure if removing the footer credits is legal or not, but I just wanted to try doing it. As I searched the internet, I found several pages describing how it could be done by making some adjustments in CSS. However, I could not find an article which uses simple JavaScript commands to do the same. So, I decided the write this. As you can see now, my footer does have Powered By Blogger credit signature. I am intending on keeping it that way until I am sure that removing it would not get me into any legal issues. I am just writing this article for the educational purposes. Right click on the Powered By Blogger  button and click on Inspect to have Chrome Developer tools loaded with the div that holds the credit content. You can see that the element should have a content similar to the following. Notice that the div is having a class value blogger . We can use this to our advantage. <div class="blogger"> <a href="https://www.blogger.com...
