How to create a folder without a name in Windows?

Press Ctrl+Shift+N (or right click and create a new folder) on an empty area. Name it by holding Alt key and from the numeric keypad, press 255 and then press enter. Check for Num Lock 'ON' if not working.

Actually, the folder or file still has a name but it's a non-printable character so it looks like it has no name. Its name is still the special Alt+255 character which is invisible..

You can do it also in XP. Create a new folder by using the right mouse button and give it the Alt+255 name.

What happens is when we press Alt+(any number upto 256) the system allocates the character corresponding to that ASCII value you've provided with Alt key.

JMeter – Working with JSON

This post explains what is JSON and how to  Send JSON Payload in HTTP Request using JMeter. What is JSON? JSON is simply a data format, but one which is more naturally fit for browser data consumption. The reason for this is that JSON is a subset to JavaScript, the de facto programming language used in all browsers. By structuring a data payload as a JSON response, you are effectively bypassing the need to parse an XML document in a browser — typically done via JavaScript of course — to get to the actual data.  In this sense, JSON uses a stripped down syntax compliant with the native JavaScript interpreter provided on all browsers. Access and navigation to JSON data is done through the same standard JavaScript notation used to access string, array or hashtable values in a typical JavaScript application. Listing 1.1 illustrates what a JSON payload would look like. Listing 1.1 : JSON payload example {“item”: { “description”: { “title”: “Backroad Mountain Bikes”, “name”...

Hyperlocal Startups Creating a Better Living

Image
Recently, I read about this article on yourstory: IIT alumni startup creating a better living experience and it made me go down the memory lane when I used to work in a small real estate based startup in Bengaluru, India. Startups are growing like mushrooms in India and most of them claim to be solving a real world problem. I am specifically intrigued, surprised and sometimes disappointed by some of these startups. These startups, specifically the hyperlocal ones, when claim to create a better living experience, a better lifestyle or quality of life makes me rethink about the life I'm living. Am I doing something wrong? Am I wasting my time in buying groceries or washing my clothes or cooking lunch? Further, I would like to emphasize that its not just the services in the hyperlocal sector that makes me rethink. Its also what they claim to achieve by doing so is astonishing. This umbrella euphoria of every startup claiming to create a better living experience is making me...
