The value of Big-O notation is for scale ability and the value of the constant of proportionality !

The value of Big-O notation is for scale ability, since quite often a
an algorithm used for small N is forgotten about in a large program
and not changed when the program has to deal with larger inputs.

It's also useful to know the constant of proportionality , for
different platforms, for code optimization issues.

Dear All !! I am not sure the question which I am asking is correct or wrong, but I have heard that storing the data into the big endian helps in gting the more transfer rate, Means we can achive good speed by soring the data in the BIG ENDIAN while transferring, If this is correct, then how it is possible and what is the reason behind this. Any pointers on above will be helpful, (if My question sounds correct)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
