Just when you start using beautiful, functional programming language like Ruby with maps, nice iteration, lambda functions, and very easy to use data structures, it gets annoying to use something like Java where these things cannot be done very concisely


Even a simple anonymous function, I have to wrap it in a class first to use it in Java.

hehehe no worries

You may wonder, how can I make my life as painful as possible?

Well, an easy way to do it is to do mass imports, i.e.

from library import *

This can create very subtle, difficult to track bugs.

I've been burned twice by this in two weeks

So one of the new guys me and my buddy are hanging out with is this white dude. He is a lecturer in law at a local university or something. Absolutely obsessed with black women.

When I met this guy, I was wondering how he caught jungle fever like this

He was trying to find out from me where Nigerians go clubbing so he can meet some naija women

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

The dumbest thing I can ever do is to be taking advice from some posters on NL regarding women.

pleep and guys like him are probably the reason she is wary to give out her phone # again

Let me do my thang, you guys do yours. My approach looks like it will lead to results. Yours, disaster.

I was about to say. How on earth does a bus go past the heavy guard rails any bridge will have and fall into a lake?

Sounds...hard to do.

Straw man, how?

Hrm.

We human beings are too superficial sef

Why should a woman care what makes her sexy...she wasn't placed on earth as eye candy, was she?

As oyb rightly pointed out, supply and demand.

Pretty women can afford to play hard to get and do as much shakara as they want, because they will still have guys chasing them

That is life.

Saudis (and Islam more generally) view women as property.

Just as my Honda Civic has a digital tracking system, I guess in their world view a woman should also be tracked too.

After all, for them there is no difference between my Civic and a woman.

Primitive, retrogressive country and people.

berem is too unromantic sef

how will I be convinced to date you with your attitude

A good list.

berem: For wetin? as country hard so na im i go dey do all these rules and regulations to make pesin romantic? omo no time abeg!

You don't have to do all of them. Just pick one or a few.

E.g., strip tease.

Shollypopz: Was that meant to be sarcastic?? If not, how are the Yorubas responsible??

Sarcasm is nearly one of my middle names. If you read a post of mine that on the face of it sounds ridiculous, I'm almost certainly being sarcastic.

Low life expectancy, high infant mortality rates, etc.

Not sure what is controversial here. #s don't lie.

Rather than complaining that the ranking is wrong, let's seek to improve the situation.

My brother, the story ends here, unfortunately

It would be ungentlemanly of me to share any further details of whatever happens on NL.

Besides, the purpose of this thread has been served: the lesson learned is not to assume that a girl wanting to be facebook friends = rejection. I should have known better than to listen to the detractors that abound on NL

Oh I forgot to say, she told me the reason she didn't give me a # is due to some creepy, overly aggressive stalkish guys she met in the past.

Trash Nigerian journalism.

Torture, castration, etc all na cruel and unusual punishment.

No sane governor or government would advocate such for its citizens.

Btw Justin Bieber is actually pretty talented. I became a bit of a fan with the following song:

[quote author=*Kails*]^^ lol really? I won't lie some southern rap songs are banging. [/quote]I know right?

Not only is the beat banging on this song, the lyrics are kind of funny.

Referring to the girl's donk:

"That thing so stvpid
Could have been on clueless
That thing dropped out of high school
That thing got a low IQ"

Made me laugh when I heard it the first time

Full disclosure though: I'm a bit biased since my uncle makes his money in part by playing at a church.

There is nothing unbiblical about paying for instrumentalists.

This is about as wrong as a church paying for electricity, a music system or televisions.

Update:

So she responded. She is busy with finals related stuff this week, but has agreed to hook things up sometime after that.

So....suck it, haters

ekt_bear wins again

I truly hate java and these c++ syntax-like languages.

But in hindsight, mastering and loving java would have been a good thing for me to do

Oh well.

Matlab is pretty popular in science and engineering. But to be honest, it is an extremely annoying programming language.

And it costs money to get Matlab license. Unlike for example Python which is free. And Python can do 95%+ of what Matlab can..

The song is so quirky and catchy

What has Nigeria done militarily ever, for that matter?

1960s civil war.

Peacekeeping activities.

And...that is it, yes?

I'm not saying that Nigeria should accept/take this offer or not. But some of you guys are acting as if it is even an insult for Pakistan to offer it.

GenBuhari: Next Afghanistan would offer teach us how to build roads

Vietnam would teach us wealth creation

Syria and North Korea would teach us democracy.

After 52 years if we are still fools, then I seems we may be destined to be fools for ever.

weep for your country

Bros. Do you not get the point that Pakistan has a far more sophisticated army than Nigeria?

Why are you pretending as if their army is trash? They developed nuclear weapons, did they not? They battled India and didn't get destroyed, yes? Their ISI is able to manipulate events both in India and Afghanistan, yes?

Which of these things has Nigeria done? When did Nigeria develop nukes, or battle a country 8X+ its size in population?

wesley80: Star struck by Fareed? Before or after his plagiarism battle?

Hehe

shymexx: So, Ekt had to settle for a Kenya Mau Mau chic...

Told you to step your game up, son...

Be like me and all dem AA and Caribbean chics would be yours - you're too African, bruddah...

lmao @ Mau Mau chick

It isn't really "settling." There is no point in suspending my social activities while waiting on this girl, is there?

oyb: calling ekt yellow babe alert

lol it isn't even like that

And on this note, I bid you all adieu.
