#Lesson_of_the_day

You look at the world today and see how life evolved into constant consumption. From the moment we wake up until we sleep our brains are fed nonstop data. Information is good but too much overwhelms the mind scrolling through social media floods us with countless bits of information in minutes leaving us foggy, drained, and unable to focus on the next task. If something is hurting your health, you have to stop doing it. Mental health matters more than endless consumption.

Mute notifications, set specific times to check social media, and don’t open your phone the moment you wake up or right before sleep. Give yourself calm mornings and calm nights. Step outside...touch grass... enjoy the things you loved in childhood and dedicate screen free time. Instead of only watching others live go out and experience life yourself. Create more memories create more than you consume

One thing I realized this week, if your mind is focused, even distracting places won’t affect you. But if your mind is restless, you’ll struggle even in quiet places.

Lately I’ve been struggling to stay focused and productive 😭. I spend a lot of time working, but it still feels like I’m not getting much done.
I remember when I was a second yr student, I could watch 5-6 hours of videos, coding, and even work on projects all in one day.

Article of the day

The Prototype Design Pattern is a creational pattern where new objects are created by cloning an existing object (prototype) instead of constructing them from scratch. The object exposes a clone() method that returns a copy of itself, usually copying its internal state. This is useful when creating an object is expensive or when you need many objects that are very similar.

In practice, you create a configured object once and then duplicate it whenever you need another instance. The client code just calls clone() without worrying about the constructor or complex initialization logic. This makes object creation simpler and can improve performance when objects require heavy setup.

GC is responsible for automatically cleaning up memory. Instead of manually deleting objects, the runtime checks whether an object is still reachable in the program. It starts from special references called GC roots (like variables on the stack, active threads, or static variables) and follows all references. If an object can still be reached through these references, it stays in memory.

If the GC finds an object that no longer has any reference pointing to it, it becomes eligible for garbage collection. That means the runtime can safely remove it and free the memory. In simple terms: if nothing in your program can reach an object anymore, the GC considers it garbage and eventually clears it.
