2014. This 6-minute comedic short film directed by Devon Avery and featuring Brian Dietzen and Erinn Hayes, parodies the time loop genre (and itself) when repeated applications of the device are used to redo a botched romantic approach. [ 37 ] Oru Kanniyum Moonu Kalavaanikalum. 2014.
The time loop or temporal loop is a plot device in fiction whereby characters re-experience a span of time which is repeated, sometimes more than once, with some hope of breaking out of the cycle of repetition. [ 1 ] Time loops are constantly resetting; when a certain condition is met, such as a death of a character or a certain point in time ...

Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the ...
Prescaler. A prescaler is an electronic counting circuit used to reduce a high frequency electrical signal to a lower frequency by integer division. The prescaler takes the basic timer clock frequency (which may be the CPU clock frequency or may be some higher or lower frequency) and divides it by some value before feeding it to the timer ...
Polling (computer science) Polling, or interrogation, refers to actively sampling the status of an external device by a client program as a synchronous activity. Polling is most often used in terms of input/output (I/O), and is also referred to as polled I/O or software-driven I/O. A good example of hardware implementation is a watchdog timer.
