Programming / Re: Why Do Java And C# Developer Always Look Down On Nodejs Developers by DrBrainstorm(m): 5:09pm On May 03
I guess the steeper learning curve of C# and Java could be a factor.

Sure, I already sent you an email. Although I'm not planning on starting C# anytime soon, I'm just started learning React

I'm an SE undergraduate, I just recently started learning C# lets connect.
KushLyon:


This is the same roadmap every beginner have, and in the end everyone ends up with the exact same stack (MERN, MEAN, or MEVN). Supply far outweighs demand and you will struggle a lot to find a job. This path is actually easy and it's why most beginners run to it, so I will suggest you do things differently to give you an edge. I will recommend you to to edx platform and look for Harvard CS50, it's an introduction to computer science course and will teach you basic computer concepts you should know if you were a CS student. They will teach you C and considering your first programming language is JavaScript, you might find it hard to learn C and might even want to give up so many times but I promise you that if you're able to struggle through it, you will start seeing JavaScript in a different light and also find it easier to learn other languages.

That CS50 course will introduce you to data structures and algorithms but you should also go deeper in it using other resources (either video or books). For me, I'm currently using Grokking Algorithms book (PDF available online). After React, I suggest you look into languages most beginners run from, which is either Java or C#. You can still learn nodeJS if you want to, it will be extra work but will be worth it in the end. As it is now, you will have to go the extra mile to be able to survive in this current tech market

Ajax - odd before kick off 1.02 😂 the thing is killing football I swear ,

Trabzaspor teams walked of off the pitch two days ago to protest a penalty that was denied by referee
Imagine A turkey referee gave 4 minutes additional time but the match went on until 9th minute, the moment away team equalized he ended the match..😂
I think the Trabzaspor game was suspended, that Ajax game was really funny.

Are you sure you grasp what you read up there? He has effectively been sentenced to prison for life - he will be held in a prison hospital - because he is not mentally stable enough to understand the full consequences of his actions - hence him admitting that he will commit the crime again if released. A mentally unwell person cannot stand trial.
grin Dey play.
That is a f**king weapon, an 18 years old breaking into BT/EE a network provider, Nvidia and now Rockstar Games from a hotel room with an Amazon firestick and mobile phone?
The British SIS or US NSA will never overlook such talent.

Oga calm down and do a little research. Kids from China, The USA, The UK, India, Russia etcetera have bn doing more than this on a regular basis. So rest !!. For Yankee no company is immune to being hacked by this crazy kids and dudes despite the tight security.

I reiterate my point, stop seeing all these tins as a rocket science. A 12yrs old kid over there could equally pull a stunt like this.

Nobody is an island of knowledge. I just taught u something new, do more research on it instead of arguing unnecessarily. Gracias.
12 years old? grin
Exploits of these sort are usually carried out by teams of experienced Black hat hackers.

You are just regurgitating clichés you have read over the Internet, maybe you think children hacking into their neighbours WiFi or breaking into their porous high school's computer networks is the type of hacking the OP is talking about here.
Again, rest in Jesus name, it is not a must you comment on threads you have no clue about.

LocalFARMERS:


Dambe and kickboxing are different sport. Dambe fighters are only allowed to use one hand. But a Kickboxer can use both hands and legs.
You think I don't know that? You don't know a kickboxer can also use only hands? Did Connor McGregor(MMA) not fight Floyd Mayweather(Boxer) in a boxing ring under boxing rules? What I'm saying is that the dambe fighters refuse to fight the kickboxer despite the huge amount of money to be won.
Sports / Re: Local Boxing Tournament In The North (dambe Sport) (video/pictures) by DrBrainstorm(m): 4:04pm On Dec 09, 2023
True, I believe you. I do combat sport, kickboxing specifically, a huge amount of money was once staked on one of our senior fighters to fight in one of their competitions but after the first fight the remaining dambe fighters refused to fight him and requested he be taken out of the competition grin.
richiemcgold:
I remember some years ago when this particular bout was going on in my neighborhood, we brought a guy from the stadium to fight the hausa local fighters. This guy was a professional wrestler who later became a silver medalist at the commonwealth games. Despite huge sums of money staked on him, none of those local fighters agreed to fight him. Till today, I'm still wondering why they all refused to engage him in a fight.

Also, if you did physics in high school it would make more sense. Nuclear fission/fusion, plutonium/uranium, radioactive fallout and other technical jargons would not make sense to you if you don't have at least an Introduction to nuclear physics.
Babtunz:
Unrelated, but if you're yet to watch Oppenheimer, I'd suggest you read the Wikipedia article on "Manhattan Project" first before watching the movie. It'll enlighten you about the events surrounding the creation of the world's first atomic bomb.

I read the article a day before watching Oppenheimer which helped me understood the movie very well.

Learn C# though it has a steeper learning curve compared to other stacks.
Btw, I also just started learning C#/.Net.

Phones / Re: What's The Magic Behind Sim Cards by DrBrainstorm(m): 8:26am On Oct 29, 2023
oglalasioux:
The magic is your phone actually not the sim card. The sim card is a chip that has switches that activate the inbuilt circuits in your phone.

Computers and phones are mainly arranged circuits that on/off at prearranged sequences (that's the programme or software). The screen is also a panel comprising of arranged very tiny bulbs that can turn on/off according to the prearranged sequence (in line with the programme).

When you put in your sim, it merely turns switches in the phone on/off. You can also use the phone to programme the sim which is the information you store in it like phone numbers and messages. When you put the sim in another phone, it activates certain parts of the new phone as you have programmed it and display the results on the screen.

The sim also contains your phone number. Your phone number is an activation sequence. When you dial this number that is unique to you on a phone, you are actually turning switches inside the phone on/off. The 0803 for instance turns the phone's antenna on and activates it to look for signals from the nearest Mtn mast.

The on/off is what computer scientists and mathematicians call binary system. That's what is used to programme a computer or phone application. You've heard it that computers only understand 0 and 1. 0 and 1 simply means on/off. The magic in computers is nothing but turning switches on and off. That's what the sim card does.

That's it in a nutshell. The magic happens in the phone
Exactly!

lol what do you refill in 4 months? If it's your ac then there's a leakage somewhere. Normal ac without leakage should last no less than 3 years.


If you fill your gas every 4 months you're being scammed.

Go DevOps route , extend your python knowledge into Golang ,
Dedicate just 3 weeks to learn Linux commands, Networking basics, virtualization , git

Then head into CI/CD and docker
Knack Kubernetes

Also start writing early ...

If you no leave Trenches in 4 months make I know why

And I say this with all boldness .

Nice submissions, are you a Devops Engineer? What experiences do you have before devops?

People jump into frontend/web development because of low barrier of entry. Devops isn't quite an entry level role, though this doesn't mean people without experience are not getting hired.
