Good morning. Please does anyone know what InDriver' (%) charge is?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]After you pass that small bridge on Command road, you'll see a road on your left. It's called Ikola road

Fire down.

Buy bread if you're coming back oh [/color]

I thought its towards the right, will left not take you towards ojuore?

coker007:
Anyone here with a car looking to partner up with a registered Driver on bolt in Lagos?

Kindly quote me if interested.

Why not try this out, someone put it up some pages back.

Do we have anyone here that is yet to be invited for interview and is dashboard is still showing application in process?

This is my situation. Please help if you know more about this. Thanks

Can you please share the site address where you applied?

kuku buy corrolla,matrix,vibe wey dey use fuel....no driver go fit dey drive come ur office every night to charge and pick up in d morning...as for the 45k delivery kuku re-read the thread from page one

Plus he didn't say if he owns the establishment or he just works there? What if he stops working there tomorrow, na so kasali go dey follow mofo hupandown because he won charge moto. Hmmm.

GeneralPula:
Although some people may be of the opinion that it is okay in the case of the wife been jobless but not the husband because he is the man.

Those that said this are Mad.. Why should it be okay?? Because she has Pussi?

So much for gender equality.

Juliusmomoh:
No woman can try that with me sha ..

It could happen in the dead of night while you are fast asleep.

bolabiyi:
na so lastma wan spoil my day today......drooped off a rider at adeniji junction, na so lastma people block me with their terrorist metal.... LASTMA.........guy, ur car is under arrest, give me ur car key, do u see any bus stop here?......ME.... oga, shebi na danfo dey park so.....LASTMA...na u go teach me my job abi? tunde, enter that car....omo for my mind, na die here oo....as tunde dey approach my car, i just climbed on the sharp metal....JAPA... JUST LEFT VULGANIZER place spending 800 to fix my tire with less damage.....GOD PUNISH ANY IDIOT WEY WAN TURN ME TO ATM......

Hope you didn't damage you rim, sha?

radautoworks:
Thanks you guys. Well revert to you if something comes of it.

You've been a blessing to this generation. Always looking out for ways to lend a helping hand. Kudos to you ma'am!

ekehopp:
Hi, this screenshot that compares uber to Bolt
What app, website or software from please?

Or I guess proce estimate shows if uber and bolt apps already installed on phone?

Nothing more than your good 'ol google map.

sofdoc1:
The guy story too shock me o. Even Abule Egba reach Agbado crossing suppose pass 2k.

Such is the face of the business.

emmancecute:
poster mentioned ilupeju to Agbado crossing. depending on the route, trip might not exceed 3k

My bad. Chairman said Ogun state. Apologies for the mix up.

OmoOshodi:
if you are open very early on Tuesday for an offline trip....from Victoria Island to Epe(court) and back.pm
.

Dropped you a mail. Interested if offer is still open.

davit:
Hey guy. I'm interested in how you used Google map to work out the fares.
Never mind. Got it

Launch google map app.
- Type in your destination in the text field above
- Tap "Directions"... bottom left of your screen
- In the page that pops up, input a "start" and "end" destination
- Below the "end" destination text field are 5 icons showing
different mode of transportation actions
- Tap the icon towards the far right of ur screen -- the icon
shows an image of a person with a briefcase waving

sofdoc1:

The driver for ask the Chairman if e get ride for am make he epp am move Ogun

Had to run google map and this was what came through. What could have gone wrong? Uber was 5,900 - 7,800.

I taught myself how to code and I was creating website before I got admission to Computing science. How could I be pained? When I also taught myself to code.
All I am here saying is that most people don’t understand what computing science is. Ignorance is the problem. Just like when layman thinks a mathematician would end up as a mathematics teacher. Same way they would also think a computing scientist would end up as a programmer. I shake my head. Happy Sunday to you.

When you do statistical analysis and the numbers seems to be in favour of one outcome over the other(s) you can safely predict based on the outcome of the highest frequency. Hence the reason most of us argued in favour of "people studied computer science solely to become programmers". This however is irrespective of the diverse discipline you could branch into with regards cs. In all honesty if you where aaked what the motivating factor was for you studying cs, what will the answer be?

Most likely programming.

We based our argument on numbers and not the diverse discipline of cs.

GoodBoi1:
That's cool but still you don't need a CS degree to know/do all that, anyone can learn this online, with certifications or experience. When you work on big projects, you are more likely to specialize cos big projects require working in teams.

My point exactly. Certain career path does not require that you visit a brick and mortar higher institution to be well grounded. With self determination and a set achievable goal can get you there.

For anyone who is interested can go on YouTube and run a search on "chrisfixit". He is into car repairs and he didn't study anything relating to engines. In fact at some point in his life he wanted to be a chef.

For certain career path; google, bing, and YouTube is your friend.

stanliwise:
Coding is a fundamental to all scientist and not just for computing scientist. You are changing the argument now. No one and not me is saying coding isn’t needed by a computing scientist. What I am basically saying is that being a programmer will not make you a computing scientist and no matter how good you code you will never be a computing scientist. To be a computing scientist you need the mathematical and theoretical knowledge of computation whether outside or within a school.

What you mentioned especially the software part are branches of computing science and not necessarily the core. Anyone could learn the branch to some pragmatic level but to go beyond you need a core knowledge of computation.

Is it not possible then for a self taught who is well grounded in programming not to be knowledgeable in computational skills?

Look there are certain careers in life where you can do quite well without being admitted to study in the university and programming is one of them. Even your computational analysis is also another.

On the other hand maybe I misunderstand you. Please kindly explain what you mean by computational and why you think it is a skill for the high and mighty.

PS: have you seen a programmer who built an operating system/programming language from scratch, and I am not here talking about an android or iOS app?

It takes a lot of cerebral concentration!

ARCHEMEDESME:
some people study CS because it's amazing nature . I agree that most people studying CS do it to become software engineers. But some people do it for the theoretical part. I once came across a PhD computer scientist who said that a lot of theoretical computer scientists don't code much , they come up with theories and those under them implement it in a programming language

That is why I have reverted and said there really is no need for this argument. In one way or another all these specialization under the cs spectrum will come together to make the final product.

Before computer came into existence there were already computer and the first were some set of females which were given large numbers and figure to compute at real time. The fact they computed the data isn’t the logic there. They simply could have employed People and hand them calculator but that wasn’t the case. The case it that they are special trained to accept data and manipulate those data that gives the required result just like the present machine does today. A computing scientist don’t need to be a good programmer. Alan Turing developed the Utimate computer (Turing Machine) which will never be built in reality on paper. He drew the machine technique on paper and the manner it works. Alan Turing developed some of the working technique of how today computer shuld accept data and treat it.
See computing has many branches, there are some computing scientist which main job is to store data and retrieve them in quick time. This people works in large organizations and develop all sort of logic for organization data storage and retrieval. Some computing scientist are into just networking and transfer of data. They develop all sort of theory for accurate data management and transfer. For example the zip algorithms was the hand work of many computing scientist e.g HuffMan and many but this same guys didn’t make any popular zip app you see today instead their idea were used by programmers to make those apps

No one is refuting the fact that these guys you've mentioned didn't do remarkably well in their time but in today's computing world software engineers have really taken things to a whole different level.

Is there anything you do today that you do not need a software of some sort to first simulate the process to be taken? Rewind the hand of time back to when Turing designed the Enigma machine and hand him a piece a software that simulates the whole process, trust me you would have made his job 1000times easier and faster.

However, the reason why we argue is what I do not understand. If for anything else we both agree that cs is quite broad and regardless of what you specialize in:

Applied Mathematics
Digital Image/ Sound
Artificial Intelligence
Microprogramming
Bioinformatics
Networks And Administration
Computer Architecture Networks
Cryptography
Computer Engineering
Operating Systems
Computer Game Development
Robotics
Computer Graphics
Simulation And Modeling
Computer Programming
Software Development
Software Systems
Data Management
Web Development
Design Databases
Parallel Programming
iOS Development
Mobile Development
Memory Systems
Computational Physics

we all need each other.

[quote author=wwwtortoise post=91066136]Greetings Sir !

Please recommend a user-friendly online platform where I can learn Python for free.

I used codecademy but the free version is limited to only the intro and basics.

PS: I am presently doing my NYSC and eagerly want to learn programming.

Regards.[/quote]If ever you are in Lagos, why not try Andela, located somewhere in yaba. If you're passionate about learning to code, in my opinion, there are the best people to go to.

Ausrichie:
Common programmers learn data structures and algorithms too oh. Even complexity of algorithms, but what annoys me about these "developers" is their extreme dependence on other people's libraries, if it has a bug how the hell are you going to fix it. By the way do you watch Bleach.

Why reinvent the wheel! If it works why change it? But of cause you can do some modification to suite your purpose.

All I am doing is to twist your brain that programming is just a small part of computing science.

Am amazed that you will say that. Software engineering is a small part of computer science, really?

Software engineering is a specialization within the computer science spectrum. More like the same way you have medicine and its subsets of specialization.

I would consider it an integral part of computer science and not a small part.

stanliwise:
you are just speaking dust. I bet you didn’t study CSC from the way you speak. And what has CSC got to do with being an expert in a language. Infact most of my Lecturers are not close to how good I was in programming back in school but they were great computing Scientist than I was at then. CSC is beyond coding. CSC is all about computing data and creating algorithms, storing data, transfering data. It basically has not much to do with computer it self. Computer is a by-product of CSC and the language of communicating with such machine is also a product of CSC. So programming language is not anything close to CSC.

So what do you think brought about the course, cs? CS is mainly software engineering. Anyone studying to become a computer scientist 98% more likely doing it because of coding.

CSC is all about computing data and creating algorithms, storing data, transfering data. It basically has not much to do with computer itself.

But where will you do all of this if not on a computer.

The young man you quoted hit the nail right on the head. School curriculums are bloated with all manner of stuffs you don't need...hence the reason he said "jack of all trade master of none."

A self taught programmer if he/she is the serious type will learn far more than a student who has spent 4yrs in the university pursuing a cs degree. In many ways the self taught is more focal on the things that are strictly cs related. Cs and software engineering are like butter and bread. You can't really mention one without the other. So, if your cs lecturer has no clue about coding and concerns himself with things theory, bro run from such a school. More so, I see what inspired your reasoning.

Today the buzz word is data science. Can you even think about being a data scientist without even knowing how to code? Data analysis is more than just excel spreadsheet or databases? In the short run you will need to query these data, now how do you suppose you'll do that?

Some few questions for you though:
How will your lecturer test his algorithm?
How will you compute data without the need of a computational device?
Where do you want to store your data, in your pocket?

skillip:
Good morning guys, in this rainy season please be mindful of parking under any electric pole. I just got to my favourite spot and the poles are damaged, even when it's not raining don't park under any electric pole because of shade.

But electric pole and shade don't go together. Wonder why anyone will want to park under an electric pole because of shade...a tree would have been more appropriate. Anyways, thanks for the observation.

Codyella:
This your irrelevant comment can only stem from admiration. If not why would you tag me? I appreciate your desire to reach my level in life cos obviously you can't afford to buy tyre not to talk of a car or even an SUV. You're getting this comment for free to encourage you to strive harder in life and know real value of time and effort. Enjoy this one cos you're not getting another. I don't banter words with nonentities that can read without comprehension.

Also for the other irrelevant keypad warriors that would tow the same line with my fan here, don't cry if you don't get a reply, you're simply not worth that five minutes of my time. Adios.

Ignore. Your response really wasn't necessary. But if I may ask, what's your value? The fact that you can afford to buy an SUV doesn't make you worth more than anyone in here. As far as you are a human being you can be reduced to nothing within a twinkle of an eye.

Bar man!

Give this man 2 bottles of cold Heineken.

He deserves more than two bottles of cold bear. He deserves the Christmas bonus of the year!

Good day. please does anyone know how much I can get a used alloy rim(just 1). Ran into a hole on high speed and the back tire was clipped so a portion of the rim broke off.

Thanks.

ndubuis:
sorry but not to my detriment. Safety above any other considerations. It's a waste of time trying to correct me on this one. I kicked a rider out of my car for refusing to go down. I'll do it over and over again whenever I feel the odds are against me. No apologies.

Bro why don't you look for a way to reach a common ground with your riders. We all agree with you 100% that the car belongs to you; hence your rules, your regulations. But I personally feel its unprofessional to ask your rider to come down from your car every time you do, mind you, most times it will be for the flimsiest reason: like to check if the bump from behind damaged your rear light.

What I would not advice though is leaving a total stranger in your car with the keys in the ignition.
