Tech Jobs › Re: I Need A Website Developer by CodingSoft: 8:10pm On Jan 07, 2024*

sheeda995:
I need someone to help me create a website. Looking professional ability to load quickly is what I want.
The website has already been developed but it looks very bad and the developer stopped communicating with me or he got sick or he died which I hope not. He shared the github file with me which I can share with you but I hate the website esthetics so I need a new one entirely
If you are interested,please let me know your price and the languages you will use to code. I ask this because i want to know if I can afford it and send me samples of websites you have developed.
I do not want WordPress because it's expensive and I will keep buying plug-ins. I want html and css because it's easy to understand and php and the likes for back end

If you want a website that will meet your needs then go for HTML, CSS, Bootstraps, JavaScript/jQuery and C# .Net Core 8.

Yes no web but you can build apps for your ASP.NET Core blazor apps

But to use native stuff like camera, maps and scanner on a mobile app then you'll need to add .Net MAUI into .NET MAUI Hybrid

MAUI hybrid uses Blazor With BlazorWebView developers can leverage their existing Blazor skills and codebase to create cross-platform applications with both web and native capabilities. They can build the UI using Blazor's component .

Is MAUI Hybrid only for mobile and Windows platforms, but no Web?

For those new to .Net Mobile development then MAUI native or MAUI Hybrib will be better for them to learn.

Decagon has created more C# developers in Nigeria but most developer .NET hardly comment on nairaland because they are few or busy. C# engineers earn more than Java.

Many programmers on this forum as scared of .NET, so we'll need to evangelist them to convert to .NET.

Yeah it is cool developing .NET because u can run your project without internet except deployment and the documentation is easy to understand if you know OOP.

OOP is fine for those of us with a degree in CE,CS,SE and similar. Not sure why a lot of programmers on this forum are not into .NET as it is catching up with Python for AI.

Microsoft will pause but a new release might come in 2 years time . Most developer find it difficult to keep up with it before and they switched to JavaScript so sad

I like .NET but this time they should wait much longer before they release another version.

The .NET 8 SDK with its improved performance and benchmark results, offers developers a more efficient and productive environment to build their applications. It is important for developers to stay up to date with the latest SDK versions to take advantage of these advancements .

That's what they always say on every new release. Hope they have a pause on this release for once.

Programming › Re: .NET 8 is now live by CodingSoft: 9:44am On Nov 15, 2023*

With all the continuous new releases of .Net, hope they will now take a pause at this latest MAUI native and MAUI Hybrid, and they will let .NET developers breathe?

Car Talk › Cruise Driverless Cars Suspended After Accident. AI Cannot Be Trusted For Cars by CodingSoft(op): 8:01pm On Oct 25, 2023

AI cannot be trusted to drive cars.

California has suspended Cruise driverless taxis from San Francisco streets after a pedestrian was dragged under its wheels after an accident.

The state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) cited safety concerns, claiming the company had misrepresented what had happened after the incident.

The company is one of two firms that has been allowed to provide taxi trips with driverless cars in the city.

Cruise said in a statement it would be "pausing operations in the city".

Driverless taxis, sometimes referred to as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are a common sight in San Francisco, to the amazement of many tourists.

As the name suggests, there is no driver. A customer can hail a cab with an app and then unlock the door with their phone.

Critics, though, say the vehicles' safety has not been established and question allowing them to roam city streets.

On 2 October, a pedestrian was struck and then propelled into the path of a Cruise car.

According to Cruise, the car "detected a collision" and stopped. It then "attempted to pull over to avoid causing further road safety issues, pulling the individual forward approximately 20 feet".

However the DMV has given further information.

"During the course of performing the hard-braking manoeuvre, the AV collided with and ran over the pedestrian", the agency said.

"After coming to a complete stop, the AV vehicle subsequently attempted to perform a pullover manoeuvre while the pedestrian was underneath the vehicle."

The DMV then accuses Cruise of misrepresenting what happened.

On 3 October the agency said it met with Cruise to analyse the incident.

"The video footage presented to the department ended with the AV's initial stop following the hard-braking manoeuvre. Footage of the subsequent movement of the AV to perform a pullover manoeuvre was not shown to the department" the DMV says.

Cruise said this scenario had not been encountered before and was due to a confluence of factors.

However, the DMV said that the incident "indicates that Cruise's vehicles may lack the ability to respond in a safe and appropriate manner during incidents involving a pedestrian".

The agency confirmed to the BBC that the suspension does not apply to Waymo, the second firm that provides paid-for driverless taxis in San Francisco.

"We have stayed in close contact with regulators to answer their questions and assisted the police with identifying the vehicle of the hit and run driver," Cruise said in a statement.

The move by the DMV is a huge setback for Cruise, which appeared to have established itself in San Francisco just a few months ago.

Cruise wants to expand into other cities, like Phoenix in Arizona. But San Francisco is widely seen as a test case for the company.

In August, the city voted to allow the company to provide 24-hour taxis for paid-for trips - a massive moment for Cruise.

Shortly after that a Cruise car was involved in a crash with a fire engine and the company was asked to halve its fleet of cars on the streets.

Representatives of emergency services in San Francisco have criticized the company's cars for blocking roads, as well.

Both Waymo and Cruise have consistently argued that their cars are safer than human drivers.

However they can also do things that feel strange - or odd or jerky.

The BBC has used Cruise AVs several times on San Francisco streets, including one occasion when the car couldn't make a right turn and blocked traffic until it was manually steered.

Some San Franciscans love these cars. No driver means no drunk driving, or speeding, or refusing to pick up a passenger due to disability.

Others wonder why it's San Francisco that is being used to try untested vehicles.

Over the summer, an activist group began a movement to put street cones on their bonnets, which deactivates the cars.

Programming › Complex Software Estimated Completion Time In Agile Scum Makes No Sense by CodingSoft(op): 6:13pm On Sep 03, 2023*

Complex software estimated completion time in Agile Scum makes no sense. You start a new complex project and the first thing you are asked is how long will it take you to complete it. If you have done the same project before then fine, but given an estimated completion time for a new complex project you have never worked on before makes no sense as all you can do is make a wrong guess which is just not practical.

The reason for this nonsense is because Agile Scrum is really meant for simple tasks like change a colour or something that simple but today Agile is used for projects that needs to be managed by another methodology.

Paystack:
It was the way you mentioned a subset of areas in which software engineering is applicable and seemed to infer anyone who hasn't worked in those areas isn't a software engineer.

Rather it's a layer in the software development process where validated mathematical models are created, from which codes for critical systems should be written. I would suggest it's used when writing code for any systems.

50 million mobile phones in Japan are using VDM or something has been developed inside these phones with VDM.

You sound like you copied something off the internet then garbage post it here.

You are the one talking garbage because you believe programming starts and end with the little you know. If you can start doing research it will help you to be enlightened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Development_Method
The Vienna Development Method (VDM) is one of the longest-established formal methods for the development of computer-based systems. Originating in work done at the IBM Laboratory Vienna
[1] in the 1970s, it has grown to include a group of techniques and tools based on a formal specification language—the VDM Specification Language (VDM-SL). It has an extended form, VDM++,
[2] which supports the modeling of object-oriented and concurrent systems. Support for VDM includes commercial and academic tools for analyzing models, including support for testing and proving properties of models and generating program code from validated VDM models. There is a history of industrial usage of VDM and its tools and a growing body of research in the formalism has led to notable contributions to the engineering of critical systems, compilers, concurrent systems and in logic for computer science.

jesmond3945:
machine learning makes use of data and uses statistics to analyze the data. You cannot compare the power of data to the power of an abstract model of a system which is flawed. The formal methods you are using today came out of the need to have a temporary system in place to design sofware and tech systems. However, we have seen the unreliability of these syetems. With AI and data driven approaches, all apsects of the system is captured which mitigates future failure concerns.

Engineers do follow specifications and bridges still fail. Then they go back to their drawing board to find out why. With machine learning and data, their questions are answered immediately.

I will now give you a free lecture into the world of Formal methods in Software Engineering Mathematics which uses Discrete mathematics to test simulated real life data models from finite to infinite to make sure the input and output of a system is fail safe. So you are very wrong because the data models used in Formal methods in Software Engineering Mathematics represents real life data like a system accepting input of one person to over 5 billion persons and same number of outputs.
"Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that are countable or otherwise distinct and separable. Examples of structures that are discrete are combinations, graphs, and logical statements. Discrete structures can be finite or infinite." https://brilliant.org/wiki/discrete-mathematics

Machine learning uses statistics which means a calculated guess of an outcome and so cannot the 100% accurate, if you disagree then why can you not use machine learning to predict this Saturday's lottery result as you have real data of results from decades ago to work with?

Formal methods in Software Engineering Mathematics gives you a Yes or No answer which is 100% correct all the time, whereas machine learning uses statistics to predict what may happen which cannot the 100% correct.

You are wrong because structural engineers that compute the mathematical specifications spend most of their time in the office and they are not the workmen on site building a bridge the structural engineers do go for inspections but are not on site 100% of the time to monitor the workmen, so if the structural engineers specification says 1000 bags is required but the foreman gives workmen on site 500 bags of cement to cut corners and then the bridge falls how is that now the fault of the structural engineers?

jesmond3945:
then why do bridges fail?
If mathematical modelling captures everything, all the variables. Remember that it would take several years of iteration to get the right model what will take machine learning months.

If a bridge falls then it's due to bad workmen not following the specifications given by the engineers. It's like when a house falls down, this is due to bad workmen not following the specifications given by the structural engineers.

Machine learning makes use of statistics which means it is not fail safe as statistics is not 100% accurate but just a calculated guess of an outcome. But Formal methods in Software Engineering Mathematics does not use statistics which means it is 100 accurate fail safe.
