PoliticsRe: Did Idoma Make Mistake By Not Joining The Igalas For A Separete State/ by ektbear: 10:43pm On Jul 23, 2012
The Clown: Despite the above, I'm opposed to Igala and Idoma sharing a state. Now that we are found in two different states, we share solidarity and sympathy. Bring us together and we would become the worst of enemies.
Hehe

This is the Nigerian story, period.
PoliticsRe: What Exactly Is Left Wing. by ektbear: 5:46pm On Jul 23, 2012
Yeah...this doesn't seem to be as big an issue in Nigeria.

The major political divide isn't between ideologies like fiscal conservatism vs. liberalism, big vs. small government, etc.

But more on the very structure of the nation.

These questions for the most part are settled issues in these older democracies.

The flavor of Nigerian politics is quite different.

It will be pretty annoying unless the website itself provides one. You'll have to replicate lots of NL functionality, write a scraper, etc.

Why is it so impossible for some of these ethnic groups to have their own state? I.e., one for the Idoma, one for the Igala, one for the Tiv.

It is as if someone purposefully created some of these states with the intention of causing strife and bad blood.

I agree regarding Pakistan. Should in principle be able to grow more rapidly than them, given how much they spend on their military.

Nigeria's economy is growing rapidly. But still quite a bit below its potential. Imagine if there was electricity, for example. So the progress is commendable, but more needs to be done.

I don't think that most people would call Romney incompetent. He has done pretty well at most tasks he has put his hands to.

I dunno, I think he'd be a pretty decent president personally.

If anyone else is interested in providing a concise, clear explanation with code examples of when to use the factory design pattern, I am sure that I am not the only person who would find that useful.

Unfortunate that anyone has to be warned not to do things that have a good chance of killing them.
ProgrammingRe: Design Patterns by ektbear: 10:19am On Jul 21, 2012
In other words:

1. A poorly-designed piece of code
2. State what the problems are
3. Use the factory design pattern to improve it
ProgrammingRe: Design Patterns by ektbear: 10:19am On Jul 21, 2012
this is one of those posts for which concrete examples are critical.

otherwise, nobody will gain anything from your post.
ProgrammingRe: I Need Help With This Python Exercise by ektbear: 10:02am On Jul 21, 2012
oh, so the default python interpreter on my laptop is python2. And I guess I was modifying your code using that, rather than python3.

Anyways, you can patch this up for whatever version you are using (python3, i guess).

Actually, this illustrates a good point. Probably it is a good idea to write the dependencies a script has. I.e., if the script is python3 only, then make a comment about that at the top of the file.
ProgrammingRe: Design Patterns by ektbear: 9:41am On Jul 21, 2012
Discuss further the factory design pattern. When would you want to use it?

Hey,

I would suggest that you paste code on a site like pastebin.com which will not ruin your formatting. Then post a link to pastebin.com.
