SilverG33k: Lmao, no mind me, so basically I'll need rate-limiting for cases where someone has reversed engineered the app, and want to like vote multiple times.
Also, insertion sort, bubble sort, quick sort, merge sort, basically anyone would work for me especially when what I'm sorting is not a long array.
The sorting is just to list housemates based on who is Head of house, deputy, and evicted housemates, while still putting the number of fans they have into consideration. And there's like 26 housemates so, not a long list of array
I like to overdo sha, Buh its good.
Cool Obfuscate the code, I wanted to get hold of WhatsApp API from GBwhAtsapp for personal use, but I didn't find anything useful.
EvilSec: Sometimes I think about quitting my job for no reason other than I'm curious if I could make it in another industry. Working in tech doesn't feel like being successful, it feels like the final stage of a stock market bubble where everyone is convinced they're Warren Buffet. Would like to know if you guys can you survive if you stopped working in tech?
SilverG33k: Disclaimer: Interesting tech related content, mostly for backend devs/software engineers
I wasn’t really a fan of BBNaija until this season, the first week watching it, I almost got addicted. The problem with watching BBNaija is that It’s a round-the-clock reality show and you won’t know exactly when it gets interesting and the time to watch it.
If you’re extremely less busy, you could watch it all the time, for busy developers like me, I can’t stay glued to my screen. I got unfinished tasks crying for help already.
So I thought of an app that could notify you whenever things are getting interesting and when you should actually tune in and watch. I shared the idea with Max(my friend) and boom, we begin planning.
We didn’t have much money to start buying servers and stuff, I’m the technical guy, he’s the business/product guy so basically, I’ll be doing all the tech-related stuff, luckily for us, I’m an android developer and backend software engineer (PHP, Nodejs).
We started planning that evening, blah blah blah, the following day, we started building.
We initially wanted to build the MVP in 1 week but we needed something awesome and fast, Digital Ocean came to mind, I wasn’t really interested in setting up a goddamn Digital ocean droplet(also called EC2 on Aws) so I kept looking for the fastest way to get a server…. Boom Heroku.
Heroku works for a quick deploy, push and scale infrastructure. Moving on, we needed a database, It’s way easier to get the database working on Digital Ocean so I just created a MySQL database cluster on Digital Ocean. Linked our Heroku app with Digital Ocean and boom, backend server implementation began.
4 days later, We felt the need to start showing videos on highlights. We added a section called highlights on the app that shows highlights of things happening inside the Big Brother house. We needed to show videos, We can’t store videos on our Heroku server, that’s bad implementation, I thought about Cloudinary. Cloudinary provides cloud-based image and video management services. It enables users to upload, store, manage, manipulate, and deliver images and video for websites and apps.
After integration, we made a prediction of how many videos will go into Cloudinary and the cost for the premium plan, the cost prediction was huge, We had to look for another way. How did I forget Digital Ocean Spaces lol, it is similar to Aws S3 buckets and way cheaper. Eventually, I integrated Digital ocean Spaces which will serve as our storage system for videos. The integration uses aws-sdk (npm package) so basically, it’s compatible with Aws S3 buckets.
We added a couple more features like Voting, where I did something on sorting (Insertion sort) for sorting housemates based on the number of votes, popularity, and number of fans. It also calculates votes in real-time.
What else? Max(Product guy) wrote the privacy policy, and we uploaded it on Google Playstore, and boom, Playstore said, “Not today”.
We had a major issue with UGC (User Generated Contents) because we added a feature where people get to post stuff about BBnaija on a timeline. After 2 days of submission and inshallah, It got approved and finally, we are good to go.
Anyways, this is a project we did for fun, voting is not official, zero ads, zero monetization strategy, just cruise
Things yet to be implemented:
1. Caching 2. Rate limiting 3. Moving to AWS EC2 or Digital Ocean droplets 4. Load balancers 5. A bunch of other things backend wise
This is the MVP we achieved in 2 weeks(Android app and backend architecture), How would you have achieved yours?
Does BBN have events API, or you will create one?
Rate limiting you funny sha, are you selling the API.
A lot of engineering decision comes when the need arises, you don't want to throw up massive infrastructure ahead, my opinion though.
And lastly while insertion sort, when there is quick or merge sort?
This video contains a wide variety of concepts, but here is the summary. There are no tricks or tips that can help you make money via gambling, though there are strategies that help you to make responsible choices.
The concept of tricks and tips in the betting industry is a broad one, a lot of people out there capitalize on people's insecurity and fraud others of their securities (wealth) on gambling. here is an analogy to understand why a lot of people promising tips and tricks are fraudulent, let's assume you have a business where you store goods, when designing your warehouse would you allow open windows (loopholes) where thieves can sneak in to wreak havoc, NO!!!. Betting sites even go way beyond that to take real-time analytics of how their sites are being used to maximize profit.
I made mention of gambling problems and how to get help when addicted to placing the next bets, to be honest, it sucks to lose money and continue placing bets.
if you are interested in learning more about football trading or my betting bots drop a comment and like the video.
I am a professional programmer, if you are interested in working with me or for more inquiries on what I do, send me a mail @ dataslid@gmail.com

ReactJs: Thanks boss . What i'll just say is, be good at contemporary technologies. That's if you're interested in working abroad anyway. A lot of these companies have already adopted these technologies and the up and coming ones are looking towards adopting it too.
wealthgoddess: I have a wealth of experience making games on torque3D, cryengine and lumbaryard I do these projects for fun but I have a full sandbox open word action shooter fps PC game on itch .io 'Gods of China' . I can do mobile games too using HTML in a canvas.
Time is the most important resource anyone has got, a lot of people spend time with betting sites or on other repetitive task without even realizing it.
Your time is better spent elsewhere productively, Spending too much time with anything increases it's value because our brain gets to produce chemicals that make those acts feel good, thus keeping you glued. With gambling/trading greed mostly sets in, leading to deficit that can never be recovered, that's why i decided to introduce an automated software that does these tasks for you. It takes care of all the problems above, it makes betting experience much like trading, It features interval-based automated mails, loss and profit limits, data scraping, 24/7 runtime with the aid of free VPS from AWS (cloud company) and coming soon (game analysis).
check the video in the description to see how it works.
Playing bets is a fascinating way to relax, except as fun as it is, it sucks money gradually, technically that's why we have so many bookmakers. The HILO from bet9ja (49ja) game mode is simple because it has two major options which are 2 odds respectively, all that is needed now is a good strategy to capitalize on that generous odds offer, then how to deal with human greed, gut feelings, and emotions.
Guess what you don't have to deal with any of that because I made an automated software that solves all of those problems, all that is needed is just to run it and see it perform magic, to learn more watch the video below.
ReactJs: Lol thanks for the input bro but i wouldn’t say i was desperate. I’m currently working so i just wanted to try getting a full time international job cuz i wanted change and new experiences.
The issue was when i converted the money i ask for in naira, bro it was like x4 of what I’m currently earning and it thought it was okay for me. If you dey earn that type of amount for Lagos , omo you’re a goddamn big boy and Buhari economy no go disturb you. It’s just that it’s a company in a lucrative industry and i was just kinda like hoping i asked for more.
Also the job came very fast. I didn’t expect to get one so soon cuz I’ve not even been applying for up to 10days.
Congrats sir,kindly share your linkedin profile, let's learn
PeaceJoyLove: This is great. Quite impressive. If you see it's getting hard, go for the UK student Visa. It is easier now. And then options to stay there is available. No need to do GRE for the UK.
Are you are core programmer, like do you work for a tech company? If yes, with what Stack and pls share your experience. I am sure you've got loads of them, if it will derail d thread, pls create another
tensazangetsu20: The jobs I am talking about are relocation jobs. You get it, they sponsor your visa and bring you over. Well student visa was in my plan as I wrote the GRE earlier one this year but combining it with work and salesforce wasn't easy so I dropped it to focus fully on salesforce and just being a better programmer. People are getting sponsored and countries are laxing work visas for programmers now unlike other fields.
Nice that you are a certified developer. You tried. I envy you. Not easy. Nice one bro. You will move out soon. You will.
Now, back to Salesforce and AI. Do you know that AI is the intelligence behind salesforce? Also, the data you use there, dont you know it's data science which can make it work better?
Salesforce is just an application just like self driving vehicles. Do you get it? This is why AI is the future. It is why I said perhaps you dont understand it. AI is just starting. This is a tech which will move us to 2050. Even Data science will soon get saturated, but not until maybe 2035 or maybe not. But AI which is about writing algorithms, hmmmmm.....this is the future sir. Sap sales Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sugar Sell, Insightly, HubSpot Sales, Pipedrive, Oracle CX Sales, Pipeliner, Creatio, Nimble, Freshsales, Cloud-based Zoho CRM, Copper CRM, Zendesk Sel, Pega CRM, Infor CloudSuite CRM, Sage CRM, Bitrix24, Agile CRM, and NetSuite CRM are all competitors of salesforce.
Do you know what this means? Having 20 competitors in that area?
Salesforce is just an application or better I say it is a platform. AI is behind using it efficiently. This is why AI is powerful. It is not about app, but it is writing algorithms. It is why I said you dont understand it. You arent doing it to use it in Nigeria if you are looking for a job. See, sales force salary will drop very soon. But AI and Data Science will not stop in the next 10 years. Data Sceince might eventually drop, but AI will not, at least for the next 30 years. It may even be improved and something else comes up after it.
The thing with Data Science and AI is that they are so related. Even data science starts getting easier, they can essily port to writing algorithms too. These two skills are what are used to build the brain behind Salesforce efficiency sir. AI can be implanted in Salesforce to make it better. Salesforce is a platform which can go down anytime.
AI can be implemented anywhere and everywhere.
A real ML engineer won't even have time to view this thread.
Real talents aren't cheap, they know what they want and don't require ass whooping by anyone to get work done, though I admire your tenacity.
We both know building for this market is like 1 - 10000 in odds even worse when outside finance and trading. The future that seems clear, and ready to grab to you.
Doesn't even exist for d target market. All that exists now is hunger that's why an AVG Nigerian will still take 1kg bag of rice tomorrow to vote tinubu. I can write epistles like u normally do but the summary is poverty, corruption, lack of basic infrastructure or foundational technology infrastructure in d country will make anything almost impossible.
I respect your optimism only if reality can be that easy, all start-up founders initially will be optimistic that things will work out, guess what stats says otherwise.
Anyways, I am rooting for whatever you come up with eventually, I wish you best of luck.
When you give to God in church you don't even need common sense to know that they are not taking it to heaven. You should know already that it will be used to build the church and feed the workers.
How else do you expect the church to get it funds? Even in the Bible, how did they build the temple? did the money and cedars fall from the sky?
Feed the workers my foot. Or you meant with the bread of life.
Church business is an empire, real estate franchise. You need to know few things about biz to have an open mind. I don't comment on this type of stuffs. But it is what it is.
ifyken: Jeff bezos doesn't much physical money. [color=#000000] probably[/color] 99.999% of that money is stored as securities(stock,bonds) and if he decides to sell them, the value will reduce drastically. Also if he gives the Money to the poor, inflation will arise because of too much money in the economy and things will be worse than before. Also you don't have any right to his money. [color=#000000]IT IS HIS MONEY[/color] you were not hustling with him,you were not there when he was poor and you did not create Amazon with him.
360command: create project work you have done for people or for yourself and post it online.
Create a Facebook fan page, Instagram fan page, a web page showing your works and some other contents within your field.
Join various groups (Facebook) within your niche, and be an active member. Research on Facebook, check if they have it but if not, then come out with your Facebook group page by giving it a name like "web developer in Nigeria " or "web developer in Lagos " or "web developer in Michigan" . Now, when you are able to boost your page, the people who joined your group are either clients or web developer. This makes you have future leads....
Facebook ads can be crucial, so you might need to pay Facebook in other for them to boost your pages.
Omo, there are ways to make it, you just want someone to spoon feed you.
Ps: if you say you are good at what you do, go on YouTube and create videos, with time, you will get leads from different sources. YouTube came up with "YouTube short", take advantage of their algorithm which can help push your videos to a greater audience.
ugocliff: I did this crazy stuff with php by writing a script that predicts number of goals possible in a match. It only needs last five matches of of both teams together with their Head to Head. Its accuracy according to my estimation is 85%, mehn i have used it to raise small cash o, my question here is do u think that there is a future for such softwares?
My chest, I can't laugh, stanliwise has said it all.
kinglaxon: Anonymous: I just got off one of the toughest break ups and I don't know what to do cause I really love this girl.
"Recently I and my girlfriend started having issues and I did not seem to understand why. This girl has been with me for 3years before I started having money (Not like I'm too rich or something) but at least for my age. Anyways 5months ago my girlfriend and her mom stopped communicating reason being that my girlfriend complains she's been mistreated at the place her mom told her to live for UNI and It turned so serious she had to leave without packing her things to go live with one of her female course mate. Which I had no idea when she left till after a week or so and I wasn't happy but I had no choice there was no money. Now at this time I decided to do the Illegal things (Yahoo) just so I can get money and take of my girl regardless of what is happening and it surprisingly it clicked for me like magic is space of weeks i had lot of money my friends called it juju but i called it prayer. Well we went to places together just so i can get her mind off the sadness of her mom not wanting to talk to her, i got her a brand new phone, gave her money too so she can take care of her body and look good, months later i had more money and this girls mom refused to talk to her, i suggested she moved to the hostel cause i did not like the girl she was staying with cause according to her the girl smokes and she sleeps with lecturers, just after a semester of staying in the hostel she had series of complain about how her hostel mates treated her i just could not understand why but she suggested moving to a lodge which i had to pay not knowing she planned on bringing along with her a friend to split the house bills, lol i thought that was a bad idea but she seemed fine. weeks later things started to change, lol she now had problems with the girl just because the girl brought her sister to start living with them without talking with my girlfriend. It got to the point i had to intervene and the girl told her she'll leave which i thought OKAY, This will help. Now i stopped having lots of money like i used to like deals i had with clients will literally collapse or i'll just keep getting postpone lol. Now i suggested i take my prayers seriously while working and less sex, We talked about it and she agreed but anytime she shows up at my place she'll want to have sex all the time, I did not want that anymore caused i wanted money and i did not want to get tired of her off having sex too much, i literally planned on getting married to her cause we know ourselves so well, fast-forward to some weeks later she suggested sex at her place which i told her not that day maybe by weekend. She invited me over to take soup and i went with a friend cause i really did not want sex that day, after giving me the soup she saw my friend and got angry then slammed the door at me i talked to her about it when i got home and she started to insult me by saying all sort of words which seemed like we were going to break up ( Mind you this girl doesn't work in any way to support) so i suggested agreed cause i thought it was going to be temporarily till we had sex little did i know she had started telling people we have broke up, so i decided to text her mom and let her in on whats happening and why we're breaking up and guess what? The mother insulted me so much i broke down in tears (Yes I'm a guy and I have feelings too) Below is the message i got from her mom ''GF Mom: I have come to the conclusion that you were not properly brought up. Then again, I blame your parents for their inability to teach you respect and mannerism. It's a pity Eunice got involved with you. Sometimes I wonder if she actually took a good look at what you looked like before getting entangled with a foolish entity like you. What the hell! If you ever in your Miserable life communicate with me again, I will beat the living day light out of you. You degenerate! Who do you think you are talking to? Are you retarded?! GF Mom: If I ever see or hear that you ever go close to Eunice again, you will know the difference between white and black! ''
Wow! I was shocked cause i thought I and the mom we're cool with each other. I angrily went back to her place and collected the phone i got from her so she'll have something to come back to me for. Ladies and gentle men i went through that phone at night and i had a running stomach i couldn't breath, i had tears with red eyes. My girl has been talking with her previous friend that stayed far off school and sleeps around with lecturers and that girl suggested she went out with men that had money which my girlfriend had been doing and she's been giving this her friend feedback. i listened to the vns and i cried even more. I just did not know what to do. Now it seems like we've broken up and a week later i started having money again like i've paid my bills, got new cloths and is planning on learning forex. What do i do? my girl has probably been crying and she's not taking my calls. I really love her. Please keep me anonymous. I'll be following this thread
Just to educate you. Any food that has undergone a fermentation process is very rich in probiotics. Pro biotics are living organisms that enhance the function of the gut. Your gut has to do basically with your digestive tract. So, probiotics help to prevent gastro intestinal tract (GIT) infections like diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, salmonellosis, giardiasis etc. Akpu has probiotics while Amala doesn't. Besides, Amala isn't very healthy especially due to the fact that yam or whatever used in making it is sun-dried on surfaces containing harmful substances, at least you must have seen those drying the yam on tarred roads before grinding. It's good you know these things not minding the yorubas telling you Amala is better and Igbos choosing Akpu due to mere sentiments.

Eliazejike: If you are banking with Kuda Bank or desiring to bank with them please DONT!
I am a student in a Nigerian University and as such was attracted to Kuda Bank because of their so called ease of banking and free withdrawals and money transfers. Unknown to me I was walking into one of the biggest scams in the country.
I have been banking with Kuda for months now and everything went smooth until I had to factory reset my phone because It was developing so problems ( normal to android users). After the rest KUDA hit!
I was expecting my rent money as well as feeding money that week. After the rest I tried to log into my account but it said my password was incorrect ( it wasn't oh!) After three trials I decide to use the "Forgot Password" option ( I must have forgotten the password I thought to myself ) I was asked to input the email address I had used to open the Kuda Bank Account which I did and it said they would send me a "password reset link" to my email. At least from their I can change my password and regain access to my account. The email never came! Its been over 2weeks now !
Not a day passes that I don't try to log into my account or do the password reset! Till today no email and I still can't log in !
My landlord is on my neck! And I have eaten any good food !
Now these are the things I've discovered in the past weeks that has lead me to the conclusion that KUDA BANK is a Fraudulent Scheme!
1. Their customer care line 09032200350 rings endlessly without someone picking it up! What kind of legitimate business doesn't attend to its costumers and just let's their phones ring without ever answering it ? Please Nairalanders let us call that number until someone picks up!...
2. I have sent complaint emails detailing my predicament and for two weeks I haven't received a reply! Kuda bank being an "Online Bank" shouldn't have any problem replying emails from customers if they had nothing to hide!
3. I left a review on the KUDA BANK app on google play store . stating my challenges using the app and within a few minutes my review was deleted. Most definitely by KUDA BANK in a bid to get more people into their net !
Using Kuda Bank has turned out to be my worst decision in life and this scam couldn't have happened in a worse time !
Please you do not have to go through what I am going through! Be wise and DO NOT bank with KUDA BANK.
This is their address ; Moore House, 151 Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba, Lagos.
Please if you live close by do me a favour and pay them a visit to find out if they are still there. If you find anyone tell them the story of this poor Nigerian Student ! Thank you !
That's cruel, u don't get to defame another man biz because u have small issues with them
