Why is there a tiny hole in the aeroplane windows?

  If you spend most of your time flying, then you might have noticed the tiny hole in the aeroplane windows. But why are they there??? Let's see...

  Aeroplanes fly at a very high altitude. At this height, the air pressure drops down outside. However the inner pressure remains same. So to balance the pressure difference in the plane, there is that hole.

  It serves one more purpose. At a height, the temperature is lower outside than that of inside. So that tiny hole is a clever mechanism to stop fogging up the windows due to temperature difference. So that we can look what's outside and enjoy the scenario...

Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
