Linux is on Mars

 On 18 Feb, NASA landed a rover on Mars named Perseverance. More than 2 million people watched its landing live on Youtube. Now it's on Mars taking pictures and collecting scientific samples. Before Perseverance, curiosity was also there on Mars. 



The special thing about this rover is that if Perseverance couldn't completely traverse the whole space alone, then Ingenuity, a tiny helicopter, tagged along for the ride. Ingenuity's main destiny is to attempt the first flight on a planet other than Earth and preparing a blueprint for future space missions. It's also running on Linux.

 

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) senior engineer Tim Canham has said that It's the first time we'll be flying Linux on Mars.

“It’s kind of an open-source victory because we’re flying an open-source operating system and an open-source flight software framework and flying commercial parts that you can buy off the shelf if you wanted to do this yourself someday,” Canham said.

Setting up Cpp environment on VS Code | Windows 10

I have recently switched to Windows 10 from PopOs ( a Debian-based Linux) because of my project-related work which could not be done in any Debian-based Linux. So, I installed windows 10 on my system and it was just a little annoying but cool as well because my system's performance has increased (which was obvious as I have deleted all my previous data just backed up around 60Gb of it). So, starting with the process of setting up the environment for C++ on the VS Code on Windows 10. In Linux, I used to run C++ files on Sublime text only but on Windows, I'm just using VS code for both C++ and JavaScript. Let's start setting up the environment. I am dividing this whole process into 4 steps: First, you have to set up a compiler for the system. As we know that C/C++ is compiled programming language which requires a compiler to make them compiled and run. In Linux, there is already a gcc/g++ compiler preinstalled. But in Windows, you have to install it separately. So you can dow...
