Google doc's tabs

 

I've just come across this new feature from google docs's tabs. 
This is something similar to tabs we use in browser.

 So we create a document which is aligned towards single topic.
In the same document we can have sub-topics under the single topic.
We can also have sub-sub topic inside :)

Tabs in Google Docs let you create sections within a single document, similar to tabs in a web browser or spreadsheet. Each tab can contain separate content, allowing you to organize related information without switching between different Docs files.

Think of it like this:

• Instead of having 5 separate Docs files for different aspects of a project, you can have 1 Google Doc with 5 tabs, each dedicated to a topic.

   

   Example:

  Let's say we have a AI project with main document name as "AI Assistant for Customer Support"



  We can have tabs as below:
  

  Tab Name	What to Include
  1. Problem Statement	Define the problem you're solving, pain points, target users, and project goals.
  2. Data Collection & Cleaning	Sources of data (chat logs, support tickets), privacy considerations, preprocessing steps.
  3. Model Selection & Training	ML/DL models considered (e.g., BERT, LLMs, custom models), training setups, experiments.
  4. Evaluation & Metrics	Accuracy, F1 score, confusion matrix, user feedback — how you’ll judge model quality.
  5. Deployment Plan	Architecture, inference setup (e.g., REST API), infrastructure (AWS/GCP), latency goals.
  6. UI/UX Design	Interface mockups, chatbot UX, conversation flows.
  7. Risks & Ethical Concerns	Bias, hallucinations, GDPR issues, response safety.
  8. Timeline & Milestones	Sprint plans, deadlines, deliverables.
  9. Team & Roles	Who’s doing what: ML engineer, designer, backend, QA, PM, etc.
  10. References & Tools	Research papers, tech stack, tools used (e.g., Hugging Face, PyTorch, LangChain).

  
  

  This is awesome way to have a organized info.  Thanks Google.
  
  Thanks to ChatGPT for fetching an example.
  

Determine your graphical platform - X11/wayland

 

-- 

Open a terminal and run the command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.

The output reveals either of these values and thereby the display protocol used: "x11" OR "wayland".

Most modern systems make use of wayland.
--

Wayland:
A newer, more secure, and potentially more performant display protocol, especially for modern graphics hardware.

X11:
The traditional display server protocol used by many Linux systems, including Ubuntu.

Check previous boot logs in Linux

==

You can check how many previous boots are recorded using:

journalctl --list-boots

==


journalctl -b     → Shows logs from the current boot

journalctl -b -1  → Shows logs from the previous boot (last boot before the reboot)

journalctl -b  -2 → Shows logs from the boot before the last one, and so on

 ==

To check kernel issues in last boot:

 journalctl -b -k -1
