Question 1.Which Programming Language Do you Love Most?

See options below...

This thread was created to analyse programmers and what software or tool they use as Nairaland is concerned, I trust it will be fun.

C'mon don't you wanna know what other programmers on Nairaland use, or what is the most used programming language by programmers on Nairaland?

So:
Vote for your preferred option, it's a pity Nairaland does not have a poll tool, so I will do it this way.
Please stop replying answer, vote by liking.


I will ask a question?
Then put some options, then you vote by liking the option you prefer most.
We are matured people. So let's do this

At the end I will post the final analysis for everyone to see.

P:S I added C and Matlab to question 1
Please comment only if you have a suggestion, let's make this thread clean.


Update: Thanks for sparing a little time, please there are still other polls at Page 3

1. WhatsApp introduces Covid-19 fact checker bots.

The dangers of fake new across social media cannot be overstated, fake news creates panic, fear, anger and many more. WhatsApp now has a chat bot that you can use to fact-check any covid-19 news.

How it works:
" The WhatsApp users need to send a "Hi" on +1 72 72 91 2606 to activate the bot. They will receive a list of six pointers that include search for fact checks, latest fact checks, tips to fight misinformation, find fact-checkers near me, about us, and privacy.

They need to type the number mentioned in front of the query and that's it. "

The system is capable of identifying the user's country via the person’s mobile country code and then providing them with their closest fact-checking organisations.

4. Facebook is testing a new mobile app called Discover. 

Facebook in the past years has been aiming at making the internet accessible to many people.
The Discover app is a bit like the Free Basics App also released by Facebook. This is the difference:

On the other hand, Free Basics allows access to specific sites, and users from more than 55 countries can use the Free Basics app."

5. Github Analysis of Developer Activities In this Covid-19 period.

CokeBar:
As recommended, an autopsy will go a long way in not only finding out the real cause of her death but also in educating us.

I just hope it isn't verbal autopsy.

May God give enough strength to the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss.

Amen oh.

The sad news that greeted us this morning about Vixen(RIP).
Some questioned the probability of such happening. Let me clear your doubts.

I want us to know this isn't the first time someone dies by this though experts say the likelihood of someone being electrocuted by a smartphone, even while the device is charging, is very, very low, but it's just like lightning striking someone, it's rare but possible.

Some things that may have caused this include:

---

1. Using cheap or counterfeit chargers.
'Most' chargers out there don't even meet the safety requirement, these chargers can be lethal due to really stupid design decisions or in a bid to cut-cost. Some of these chargers don't have proper insulation, potentially exposing users to overheating, fire or electric shock.

According to a study from the Chartered Trading Standards Institute in the UK, a whopping 98% of all fake Apple chargers failed basic safety tests. After performing several tests, it was found that only three of the 400 devices tested had enough isolation to prevent an electric shock. Go for trusted devices from trusted companies/people.

---

2. Also, electrical shocks involving consumer electronics often have nothing to do with the devices themselves. Instead, they can be caused by overloaded power outlets, frayed extension cords or faulty wiring in a home, experts say.

---

3. Touching both prongs on the wall side when you plug the charger in.

---

In conclusion it is rare but possible.
Did she die by electrocution? I can't say, I wasn't there.
Above all, I know we may be carefree about some things even me, but you should be a bit careful. Thanks.

damtan:

I have done all these before this morning in the anaconda prompt and I have successfully created, activated and installed djangoenv in anaconda navigator.
I have even seen the mysite folder and all other parameters that you stated created on my system.
The problem is proceeding with the last command which is
cd mysite
py manage.py runserver
An error message keeps popping

I don't really get your problem.
But in your Anaconda prompt not jupyter notebook go to the directory that contains the manage.py file and type: py manage.py runserver

Screenshot your anaconda prompt with the error there.

castrosteve:
mysite/url.py

Okay the problem is from your mysite/urls.py file.

Change this line:
path('', include('polls.urls')),
to
path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),

And try again from ur browser.

castrosteve:

ok it works but am getting 404 error but the url works with /admin

Okay screenshot your polls/urls.py file and mysite/urls.py file.

Sorry guys, I have been busy. Will continue tomorrow. Hope you are all doing well?

FredLum:
A suggestion, I implemented this:


urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),
path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),
path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),
]

And the url was http://127.0.0.1:8000/2/results/ and http://127.0.0.1:8000/2/vote/

I modifed to this:

path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),
path('results/<int:question_id>/', views.results, name='results'),
path('vote/<int:question_id>/', views.vote, name='vote'),

so the url http://127.0.0.1:8000/results/2/ or http://127.0.0.1:8000/vote/2/ worked, which I think is more preferable following OOP standards

Glad you are following to the point of even tweaking it to your preference. But:

First, OOP has nothing to do with url patterns basically.
Second, we first visit a question before we can then vote or check result that's why int:question_id comes first.
Third, any of them is okay as far your URLs are intuitive to the user.

Hope you get??

castrosteve:


its def function
pass detail

It should be this instead:

def detail(request, question_id):
    return HttpResponse("You're looking at question %s." % question_id)
