According to Spotify, I'm in the top 0.5% of Erigga's fan. Listened to 10 genres, and most people with my music taste are domiciled in Abuja. I'm changing to Jeriq next year shaa. I like that #HoodBoy for no particular reason. And I think he is the next big thing in Nigerian hip-hop 2 Likes

Education / Who Knows About St. George Christian University by CastroTbb(m): 12:42am On Aug 08, 2020 |
Hello guys. I really need your help here. Due to boredom and frustration, Iâve been looking up foreign schools and their scholarship applications/policies. Last month, I came across St. George Christian University and applied. I went through the whole process and just this evening, I received a mail that I have been chosen as one of the 10 beneficiaries of this year's SGC University scholarship award. (This covers for tuition and books for the entire program of study). Out of curiosity, I wanted checking their social media handles to see if there are other prospective students I could connect with. I however discovered that aside the university website, they do not have any other online presence. No social media handles, no Wikipedia page. Nothing. Is this normal or should I consider it a red flag? |
Webmasters / Is The Year 2038 Problem The New Y2K Bug? by CastroTbb(m): 3:00pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
Hello guys. I just came across this article. Although itâs about 5 years old, I think itâs an interesting read. Reports proclaim that the Year 2038 problem is going to cause computerised doom: hereâs what you need to know Not yet been terrified by the Year 2038 problem? Somehow you must have missed reports claiming it poses a threat, as exposed by Gangnam style (yes, you read that correctly), to our computerised future. In fact, it is claimed, Y2038 is so bad it could be worse than Y2k. Well thatâs absolutely true. Just like Y2K, if left unchecked, Y2038 could cause major issues for any computer systems. But just like Y2k, any prediction of planes falling out of the sky and the banking system melting down are likely to be a long long way from coming true. So should you worry? No. But hereâs what you need to know ⊠What is Y2038? The year 2038 problem is caused by 32-bit processors and the limitations of the 32-bit systems they power. The processor is the central component that drives all computers and computing devices. It crunches the numbers and performs calculations that allow programs to run. Essentially, when the year 2038 strikes 03:14:07 UTC on 19 March, computers still using 32-bit systems to store and process the date and time wonât be able to cope with the date and time change. Like the Y2K bug, the computers wonât be able to tell the difference between the year 2038 and 1970 â the year after which all current computer systems measure time. What does 32-bit mean? Processors come in many difference sizes and capabilities designed for different applications, but most of them operate and crunch numbers in a similar manner. The first desktop computer processors were 16-bit and ran 16-bit software, which meant they could store and access values up to 216 or 65,536 distinct values within 64KB of memory. Other notable 16-bit systems include the 1990âs gaming consoles the Super Nintendo and Sega MegaDrive, which took over from 1980âs 8-bit systems. Later, 32-bit processors were developed that ran 32-bit software and increased the number of values a system could handle 232 different values or 4,294,967,295 different numbers within 4GB of memory. The systems stored dates and times in 32-bit chunks. In reality that large number of different values is halved for time keeping and other data storage applications as they range from -2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 leaving only 2,147,483,647 positive values from zero. Modern processors that power almost every computer bought today, and are starting to make their way into smartphones and tablets too, are based on a 64-bit system and 64-bit software. They also have a maximum number of different values they can address but at 264 or 18 quintillion values within 16 Exabytes of memory, the ceiling is considerably higher at a date that is over twenty times greater than the estimated age of the universe or 292bn years from now. Whatâs the problem with 32-bit systems? The basic problem is about a computerâs capacity to count the time in seconds past a certain date. As computers measure time in seconds from 1 January 1970, 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038 is equal to 2,147,483,647 seconds after 1 January 1970. As 32-bit date and time systems can only count up to 2,147,483,647 separate positive values the system cannot continue counting the seconds past that time. To continue to count the seconds the values will start to be stored in negative counting up from -2,147,483,647 to zero. But most systems will not be able to cope with this change and will likely fail. A similar issue happened with YouTube, where the number of views of Psyâs Gangnam Style passed 2bn and broke the 2,147,483,647 limit of the 32-bit counter Google supposedly used. What will happen? How computer systems will fail is unknown. Some may continue to work fine just with the date wrong. Others that rely on precise date and time may simply stop working. The biggest issue, like the Y2K bug, is that computer systems that control crucial infrastructure stop working all at the same time. Planes crashing out of the sky was the common scaremongering example from the Y2K. Is it really going to happen? The simple answer is no, not if the computer systems are upgraded in time. The problem is likely to rear its head before the year 2038 for any system that counts years in to the future. A calendar system that counts and stores appointments for 20 years into the future will start seeing issues in 2018, for instance. However, almost all modern processors in desktop computers are now made and sold as 64-bit systems running 64-bit software. Microsoftâs Windows has offered a 64-bit version since Windows XP Professional 64-bit released in 2005. Appleâs OS X desktop software has been exclusively 64-bit since the release of Mac OS X 10.7 âLionâ in 2011. Many Unix systems that are used to power web servers and other backend hardware may still use 32-bit date systems, but most should be replaceable over time. The computers that have the potential to cause the biggest issues are those embedded systems that cannot be upgraded. They are used in many transportation systems and other long-living devices, equipment such as stability control systems in cars or other isolated computer-based systems. Not all embedded systems rely on precise dates, however, and so will be unaffected often just tracking the difference between times, not absolute dates. Those embedded systems that are effected are likely to have to be completely replaced as the software canât simply be upgraded. Whatâs going to be done? The reality of Y2038 being a problem is that many 32-bit systems will naturally wear out or be replaced in the next 23 years. Those systems that might not will need changing ahead of time. Infrastructure is likely to be the biggest headache to fix â devices in power stations for instance â but planning the change far enough in advance should remove most big problems.

Crime / Black Officer Involved In George Floyd Killing Is Nigerian by CastroTbb(m): 3:21pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
One of the black police officers at the scene of the killing of George Floyd by a white officer in Minneapolis in May has a Nigerian father, the New York Times reports. Alex Kueng joined the police largely because he believed diversity could force change in a Police Department long accused of racism. Mr Kueng, who faces charges of aiding and abetting in Mr Floydâs death, is out on bail, hounded at the supermarket by strangers and denounced by some family members. Long before Mr Kueng was arrested, he had wrestled with the issue of police abuse of black people, joining the force in part to help protect people close to him from police aggression. He argued that diversity could force change in a Police Department long accused of racism. New York Times reported that he had seen one sibling arrested and treated poorly, in his view, by sheriffâs deputies. He had found himself defending his decision to join the police force, saying he thought it was the best way to fix a broken system. He had clashed with friends over whether public demonstrations could make things better. âHe said, âDonât you think that that needs to be done from the inside?ââ his mother, Joni Kueng, recalled him saying after he watched protesters block a highway years ago. âThatâs part of the reason why he wanted to become a police officer â and a black police officer on top of it â is to bridge that gap in the community, change the narrative between the officers and the black community.â As hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated against the police after Mr Floydâs killing on May 25, Mr Kueng became part of a national debate over police violence toward black people, a symbol of the very sort of policing he had long said he wanted to stop. Derek Chauvin, the officer who placed his knee on Mr Floydâs neck for more than eight minutes, has been most widely associated with the case. He faces charges of second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter; Mr Kueng and two other former officers were charged with aiding and abetting the killing. At 26, Mr Kueng was the youngest and least experienced officer at the scene, on only his third shift as a full officer. The arrest of Mr Kueng, whose mother is white and whose father was from Nigeria, has brought anguish to his friends and family. âItâs a gut punch,â Ms Kueng said. âHere you are, youâve raised this child, you know who he is inside and out. Weâre such a racially diverse family. To be wrapped up in a racially motivated incident like this is just unfathomable.â Two of Mr Kuengâs siblings, Taylor and Radiance, both of whom are African-American, called for the arrests of all four officers, including their brother. They joined protests in Minneapolis. Source: http://saharareporters.com/2020/06/29/black-officer-involved-george-floyd-killing-nigerian

Crime / Iran Issues Arrest Warrant For Trump, Asks Interpol To Help by CastroTbb(m): 2:48pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining US President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad. Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on Monday that Trump, along with more than 30 others Iran accuses of involvement in the January 3 attack that killed General Qassem Soleimani, face "murder and terrorism charges", the semi-official ISNA news agency reported. Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends. Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Alqasimehr was also quoted as saying Iran had requested a "red notice" be put out for Trump and the others, the highest-level notice issued by Interpol, requesting that seeks the location and arrest of the individual named Under a red notice, local authorities make the arrests on behalf of the country that requested it. The notices cannot force countries to arrest or extradite suspects, but can put government leaders on the spot and limit suspects' travel. After receiving a request, Interpol meets by committee and discusses whether or not to share the information with its member states. Interpol has no requirement for making any of the notices public, though some do get published on its website. It is unlikely Interpol would grant Iran's request as its guideline for notices forbids it from "undertaking any intervention or activities of a political" nature. The US killed General Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard Corps's expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January attack near Baghdad International Airport. The assassination came after months of incidents raising tensions between the two countries and ultimately saw Iran retaliate with a ballistic missile strike targeting American troops in Iraq.
