Programming / Re: Programmers How Would You Approach This Task? by bb6xt(m): 9:09pm On May 11, 2015 |
An easier way to go about it is to have a fixed point of reference in time. Say for example you played the first video at 10.00 am UTC and a visitor comes in 10 minutes later a DOM ready callback should check the current time in the same time zone as the one used by the server as a reference point and skip that much ahead on the video or play the next one at the proper time if the first would have finished. But this is a hack and I haven't done it before but I think it is possible to implement it this way. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Egyptian President Invites Buhari For Discussion by bb6xt(m): 8:18am On Apr 22, 2015 |
OXYGEN011: If the visit was at our initiative or our president was being invited to attend some occasion of national significance to Egypt like their independence or something else it would be quite ok. In my eyes this invitation is very arrogant and rude and as such should be ignored. |
Events / Re: How I My Wife Had Our Wedding With N50k. Its Possible by bb6xt(m): 7:36pm On Apr 18, 2015 |
mrking3: @mrking3 I am interested to know how you plan to do your trad and white wedding with just 400k. I would like to get married myself but am planning on just trad+court and maybe a little reception. I am looking at a similar budget as yours hence it'll be very helpful if you could give me the breakdown of your planned expenses to guide me. Does this include intros, lists etc? what part of the country is your fiancé from? what city will you be holding it in, how many guests etc. I look forward to your response. |

An advice for the OP: ensure that anyone requesting for info about your business plan/marketing strategy etc signs a nondisclosure/noncompete agreement of some sort in order to avoid stories that touch. I wish you success in finding an investor. 2 Likes |

Make I mark register. I love Python and Django. I've been using Python since 2010. I use PHP/Yii2 in my day job but Python is my go-to language. For small apps and restful APIs I prefer flask though. |
Phones / Re: My Boss Is Tracking Me With Phone by bb6xt(m): 4:59pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
ibe9ja: Is it legal for an employer to track an employee's private phone? Definitely NO! Are there any guarantees that such an employer will stop tracking the employee after he stops working for the employer? Again the answer is NO! Should an employer be allowed to act in this illegal manner? Hell NO! However, to the best of my knowledge no current mobile OS (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) allows any third party app to track a user unless the user explicitly accepts to give such permission to the app. |

Politics / Re: APC Will Slash Tariffs On Imported Cars -osinbajo by bb6xt(m): 6:16pm On Feb 12, 2015 |
In my opinion slashing the tariff on imported cars will be a step backwards. Providing an enabling environment for the new auto manufacturing coys to thrive and boost output on the other hand will have a long term positive effect on the economy and job creation. |

Lawyers are smart, investment bankers are smart, mathematicians are smart even your mechanic is smart. Smartness is relative. To be a truly smart programmer never be opinionated about your tools and never ever stop learning. |

Politics / Can A General Legally Defy The Lawful Order Of His Commander In Chief? by bb6xt(m): 3:05pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
I recently read on this forum that some top generals of the Nigerian military wrote a letter to the chairman of INEC stating unequivocally that they WILL NOT provide security for the elections unless the elections are postponed. After reading that post some questions kept tugging at my heart which I have decided to share with you all in hopes that someone out there might enlighten me. 1. Does the generals concerned answer to Jega that they should write to him directly? 2. If indeed the Commander in Chief ordered his generals to provide security for the elections despite ongoing battle in the NE wouldn't it amount to mutiny if his generals refused a direct order from their C-in-C? 3. If 6 weeks is all the time we need to quell the menace of BH which has proved intractable for at least 6 years why have we let it fester for so long? 4. If we were attacked by a foreign army in our western border with Benin republic would the armed forces leave that theater without any defense because they are too busy in the NE? No army goes to war fully prepared. No army ever possesses all the logistics it requires to conduct a war. This is the very reason that gave rise to the field of Operations Research/Systems Science. Jonathan is afraid of what the polls hold for him and wants the elections postponed possibly indefinitely. It is ok to be afraid but what I can't stomach is the cowardly manner he has used to achieve this while giving the impression that insubordination and disregard of the strict discipline and flow of command that is the hallmark of any professional armed forces is forgivable. |
Programming / Re: Cherrypy, Flask And Other Python Micros..... by bb6xt(m): 4:57pm On Feb 03, 2015 |
basbone: If you are concerned about improving your CV then you'll be better off sticking to .NET (C# mainly), Java or PHP. My goto language is Python but in my day job most of my time is spent in PHP land (with Yii2 framework). You can keep learning Python and add either C# or Java to that to open you up to more opportunities. No knowledge is wasted. If you think learning 2 languages is tough I would advice you bite the gun because you will be using multiple languages anyway. As regards Django framework I think it is an excellent framework. However, django is all too all encompassing which may overwhelm a beginner. I started out with django framework when I delved into web programming in Python. Back then I used to like full-featured frameworks but now my preference has tilted towards lean frameworks. |
Politics / Re: Buhari’s Supporters Are Silly And Unrealistic - Etcetera by bb6xt(m): 11:22am On Feb 01, 2015 |
lyntiffany: How can you claim someone falsified his result when he swore to an affidavit that he doesn't have the result to start with? Last time I checked forgery is when you present false documents which he never did. To vindicate him further it was the Nigerian army under GEJ that came out to declare his ssce results. Don't play to the gallery, check your facts before saying anything otherwise you may make a fool of yourself |
Politics / Re: Buhari’s Supporters Are Silly And Unrealistic - Etcetera by bb6xt(m): 5:23pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
Niwdog: I am as good a Christian as any yet I support GMB. Stop being an ethnic chauvinist. Buhari's current support base cuts across regional, ethnic and religious lines. Please ask yourself this question, if Buhari's record with respect to corruption is anything short of impeccable why isn't the PDP using it against him but have chosen rather to stir up religious and sectional sentiments instead? If you are honest with yourself you'll agree with me that corruption is the greatest undoing of this great nation. If choosing to give a man whom even his enemies acknowledge his integrity a chance at leading a nation under the scourge of corruption is being silly then I'll gladly accept the tag. 4 Likes |

Programming / Re: Reimagining Nairaland's Interface by bb6xt(m): 5:00pm On Jan 29, 2015 |
Before you start redesigning NL pls first change the page numbering, and maybe use slugs only in the topic urls. Most every programming languages out there use zero-based indexes and as programmers we are cool with that but it sometimes feels odd to see a page 0 on NL. PS: If it ain't broken don't fix it |
Programming / Re: Am a Software Developer.... But I need help from any of you guys. by bb6xt(m): 12:21am On Jan 27, 2015 |
micheal5772: You can't write proper English plain and simple, don't excuse your ignorance by making spurious claims. But it'd seem you still have a chance to make amends so I hope you take it. Believe me, unless you are living in a none English speaking country, you desperately need sound English grammar. Job aptitude tests mostly consist of tests of your verbal and quantitative reasoning, and your poor grammar is surely a minus at job interviews. Back to software development, a thorough understanding of the software requirements document (SRS) is key to designing and implementing a solution that will meet the client's needs. Internal project reviews with other developers, Business Analysts and Project Managers are also a normal part of software development process and all these require a good grasp of the language in which they are undertaken. So, if you desire to be a well rounded professional never take any part of your training for granted. 2 Likes |

Programming / Re: To All Unix/linux Users: I Want To Learn, Comments/suggestions Pls by bb6xt(m): 1:23pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
You made a terrific choice when you decided to learn *nix. Most tools and programming languages were first developed on *nix before being ported to other platforms. The core of OSx is Unix. If you are a software Dev you'll greatly benefit from using Linux unless Microsoft Windows is your primary target or you use .NET technologies only. |
Politics / Re: Yero, Caught On Tape Threatening Violence Against APC, El-rufai by bb6xt(m): 12:23pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
NextIG: There is something inherently wrong when the one making such a threat is the chief security officer of the state whose responsibility it is to guarantee safety and security of all irrespective of their religion, tribe or political leaning. If Mr. Yero is incapable of being an unbiased umpire in the affairs of his state especially as it relates to the security and peace of his constituents then I daresay he does not deserve to be the governor. |
Politics / Re: See Apc's Clever Response To GEJ'S Joke About Buhari Not Knowing His Phone No by bb6xt(m): 8:33am On Jan 11, 2015 |
bobo65: You're jumping the gun here, the comparison isn't implying that GMB is as smart as Einstein but just pointing out that being able to memorize ones phone number or not isn't a measure of ones smartness. As some Nairalanders are wont to put it, how does that affect the price of garri? GEJ can memorize his number so has that made him any better. It is only a daft and totally clueless person that will cast aspersions on another's competence simply because that person can't memorize an 11 digit number. The evidence is in the great disparity in on the job performance of students who crammed to pass exams vis a vis those who studied to understand and internalize the concepts being taught. If you can't see this I imagine you belong to the former category rather than the latter. Sai Buhari! 4 Likes 1 Share |
