Programming › Re: Why Self Taught Programmers Over “Exaggerate”. by Contango(m): 3:58pm On May 31, 2021
Karleb:
3 or more nested loops are not so bad as we think. They only become issues when the data becomes very large, I mean hundreds of thousands to billions. But for say, a thousand data or less, 3 or more nested loops tends to do okay.

I don't get the fuss behind Math and Programming. All you need to succeed in the so called core programming is to be average at math. An average math student would solve a lot of algorithm and data structure problems.
A 3 layer nested loop will have performance issues when your code is to do many iterations. You will need maths to understand why and how to avoid it

Nested loops are the death of time efficiency. ON2 time is an abomination to big data grin One pass through is king. But the mental gymnastics to achieve it is madness cry

Finally, there are levels in programming and a software engineer needs maths cool
Of course nested loops are highly inefficient. The point here is that a programmer with no maths and logic background will not even know why they are inefficient to start with. Someone without maths background will not even know how to analyze algorithms

For all those learning and advertising python to wannabe programmers, stop wasting your time.

If you don't have good mathematics background or love for data,you will fail big time.
Unpopular truth cheesy

A lot of people will disagree with you but what you said is just the cold truth. People refuting you are people who don’t delve deep into aspects of programming that requires efficient use of algorithms and data structures hence conclude from their limited perspective that one does not really need maths and logic. Sadly they think that what they are doing is deep even though it is barely at the surface. You will also find out that they write codes that are rife in bugs and are among those saying it is impossible to write bug-free codes. A lot of them don’t even understand the principles behind a lot of codes they copy hook, line, and sinker from stack overflow for as long as it temporary solves their problem. Unfortunately, the ill-understood codes they copied creates some other conflict along the line and then the circle continues. One popular example is that people with poor mathematical and logical finesse will not account for conditions where a “divided by zero” occurs or situations where Boolean logic self destruct under certain conditions. Honestly I don’t understand how people code without understanding basic linear algebra...particularly matrix operations.

If you investigate those claiming you don’t need good maths and logic background properly, you will discover that most of them don’t go beyond linear data types and I could bet that most of them have not coded a 3 level nested loop before.

It is impossible to do real coding with mediocre understanding of maths and logic. All I can say is that give a person who is poor in maths and logic a program to design and get ready for breakdown of program at regular intervals because new unaccounted scenarios will keep arising.

Don’t do coding and programming if you’re not naturally creative and good with maths & logic.

In simple terms you lost the battle because you couldn't withstand the storm when your faith was tested. You ran back to your comfort zone. Timidity dwells in you yet you are looking for a rich life. let me tell you that God used that guy to remove you from your comfort zone, you should have remained in Lagos and faced the street. There would your glory locate you. You forget Abraham didn't know his destination when he left his father's house. He had a choice of returning but he didn't. As for that one writing textbook dishing advice, where I knew he's a fraud is after saying he makes more than half a million, yet he's still asking for tithe, yes his advice is an eye opener however his claims are false. It's my job to sniff out lies in a perfectly painted truth. No man will ever reveal what he actually makes so I caught him there.. In summary all I have to say is you messed up. You did what you knew best and that's running back to mommy. Enjoy your breast milk.
This is definitely the dumbest comment so far.

Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Has Now Won The National Cup In Three Different Countries by Contango(m):
iPhone chargers only work on iPhones and iOS devices but Infinix chargers can charge all kinds of phones like Tecno, Xiaomi, Gionee, Samsung, Bluetooth headphones, Power banks and even PS4 pad. It doesn’t make Infinix more valuable than iPhone chargers. Rather, it is easier to find, borrow or even replace Infinix chargers.

Ronaldo is like an Infinix charger that has charged Lisbon(Tecno), Man U(Xiaomi), Real Madrid(Samsung) and Juventus(PS4 pad) but Messi has been charging iPhones (Barcelona) since I took interest in watching soccer.

How do you over come laziness and dizziness when working
Just as the topic stated , i will like us to share experience how you over come laziness and also dizziness when working on a client project, task or a pet project.

Laziness can be as a result of an easy task that you can implement in some minute or hours but took you 2 days to do, and dizziness is when you have to stay awake all night mostly for remote guys working for foreign client with different time zone.

How do you manage to balance sacrifice, discipline and commitment when working?
Take coffee morning and at noon.
Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Moving His Fleet Of Super Cars, Hinting Juve Exit (Video) by Contango(m):
Penaldo...Sharp guy!!!!

First he jumped Everton, Newcastle, Sheffield and ran to Man U, an already established team, claiming new challenge. It worked for him

Next, he jumped Espanyol, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid to hide in Real Madrid, an already established team for “new challenge”. Still worked

Then left for Juventus, an already established team thinking it was business as usual but his format con cast for that area. grin grin grin

This thing really pain Ronaldo no be small, this one that he chose to park out at night. Reminds me of how Nicodemus sneaked at night to meet Jesus.

Now baba wan japaa go PSG where championship looks sure. grin

Baba no wan conquer Europa. Even the Europa league fit cast for am cheesy

Ronaldo is definitely not close to the best player in the world but definitely the smartest gambler cheesy

Fashion › Re: She Called Me Irresponsible Because Of My Hairstyle (pictures) by Contango(m):
You may not be irresponsible per se, it’s just that most thieves, robbers, area boys and a lot of irresponsible touts are known to fancy such hairstyles. Coincidence? It is not different from the way we assume that ladies that frequently post photos taken in exotic hotels, wearing provoking outfits with long nails etc are either prostitutes or runs girls, in which 9 out of 10 often turn out to be one.

I don’t blame her though. Her conclusion about you might not be absolutely true, but it is nonetheless statistically valid.

Business › Re: BUA, Lummus Sign Contract For The Construction Of 285,000tpa Polypropylene Unit by Contango(m):
oluwasegun007:
Even though I dont know what Polypropylene is,

In as much as its giving that senior man with black ass like my own sleepless night....I'm in grin
Polypropylene is one of the many derivatives of petroleum and natural gas and has an ever increasing demand globally. It is a tough, low density(light) chemical resistant material that has a lot of unimaginable domestic and industrial applications due to its special properties. Common items made from polypropylene include carpets, clothes, medical equipment, aircraft interior parts, roofing membranes (for water proofing), reinforcement of concretes etc.

What this means is that our Igbo brothers who are quite innovative will soon begin to manufacture these things locally because of readily available source of raw materials for these things, reducing or hopefully eliminating the need for importing them.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Will You Quit Your Job And Travel Abroad For Studies? by Contango(m):
FineUsername:
Lets say you've a first degree, a PGD in different discipline and you're currently running a professional course which is related to your first degree and job; saving an average of 1.5m Naira a year from your work. Then, boom! An all full tuition scholarship (undergraduate) came with a monthly allowance of approximately 30k Naira. Location? China! Course? Same discipline with your first degree.

Will you resign from your current position for the scholarship?

Reasons.
Very hard to say but let me narrate my own experience.

I resigned a six figures job for PTDF MSc overseas scholarship in the UK. The course was directly related to my discipline. Even though I met a lot of opposition to my decision to quit the job for masters, I still did because I knew that that was very much what I wanted. I was very much interested in the course and cared less if I had to struggle in the job market again...I even posted my dilemma here on naira land with a different moniker and most nairalanders adviced me against the msc except those that had gone abroad before

Thank God I didn’t listen to those telling me to continue with my job at that time.

On returning, I spent a year at home but within that period, I got three job offers. The one I eventually took pays roughly four times my previous job, plus Job security, oppotunities to travel out and other beautiful incentives.

It is weird because the people that know me expect me to do these additions off the top of my head.

2. I watch cartoons. Not those nice cartoons like justice league, croods etc, the really “childish” ones like South Park, Family Guy, American Dad etc cheesy
