You are NOT educated. This small article will prove it.

💭 You are not educated. And so am I.
Let us start the discussion by defining certain terms to be clear about what I am talking about.
  • Literacy: Learning to read, write, and speak a language acceptable by the government of the land
  • Knowledge: The facts prevailing in the society
  • Education: The learning of the ideals of life and non-life
We have been using all the three terms interchangeably, the reason defining them was important. Now, that I have defined the three terms, we can see the difference between them.
  • Learning of any language that will help us to communicate within the society we reside is called Literacy. Indian education system certainly makes us literate.
  • Learning the facts that are prevailing in the society is knowledge. According to me, the Indian education system is concentrating excessively on this aspect.
  • Learning the ideal way life and non-life objects on earth and beyond should behave is education. Is Indian education providing education? I doubt.
Let us see an example:
  • We know to read English and thus you and I are able to have a dialogue here. Which means we are literate!
  • We are aware of a fact that cutting down trees and burning of fossil fuels is causing Global Warming which will also lead to the end of life on earth. We have this knowledge!
  • Now, what ideally should be our education? To stop cutting of trees, growing more trees, and using renewable resources for energy. Are we doing that? It gets me to ask, are we educated?

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it.
