our cautiousness is a result of billion years of evolution, sitting on your shoulder is the most complex object in the universe. Life is a mirage.

But why? What is the evolutionary advantage of consciousness? How can questioning the meaning of existence be advantageous from an evolutionary perspective?

dudebuck:
They are basically the same thing, but coding refers to the actual writing or typing of the codes, while programming refers to everything from planning, designing, researching, flowcharting, alogarithm to testing and debugging, just my two cents.

That would be software engineering not programming. Coding and programming are one and the same

iammuhd1:
Coding means writing lines of code, to create a simple software program and or websites, and all you need is some coding lessons and tutorials to become a coder. While programming means creating and understanding complex data structures and algorithms, and also analysing them. And you need a specialized degree or years of experience to be tagged as a programmer. In fact, all programmers are coders but not all coders are programmers.

I stand to be corrected, as I am not a computer science student/teacher, neither a coder or a programmer.

How can you code without understanding algorithms and data structures? Writing code is in itself development of algorithms using data structures.

When you use an array or a list you have used a data structure. When you implement a simple program that says hello world ,you just designed an algorithm

sylve11:
Coding and programming are similar terms if you look at it broadly. But there exists a line of difference between the two.

Coding, in general means just writing code in a particular programming language, just some code. It could be anything, for example just adding 2 numbers.

However, programming is different than just coding. Programming is basically a broader entity that involves thinking critically over a problem, identifying the solution, deciding on right tools that would help develop the solution and then using those tools and techniques to create a solution that solves the problem at hand.

In reality, coding is actually an important part of programming.

So to sum up, programming is the process of designing a solution to a problem, and coding is a part of this process.................

The process of plan, designing, implementing ,testing and deploying a complete software solution is called software engineering.

Programming and coding are the same in practice and they both fall under the implementation stage of the Software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Only about 1% of the world's population have this notion but unfortunately the rest still believe human love exists.

Besides in situations where a partner was abusive or cheated on the other person, the truth of the matter is that sometimes relationships don't work for either or both people involved.

It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the rejected person, it just wasn't meant to be. I have had my heartbroken and I have broken other people's heart but it was always for the best

Didn't someone say Nigeria was better than the UK?

distributeinc:
More than 70% of Americans are living in debt...choking their necks, at the risk of loosing their homes at any moment...it's same stats man.

At least they have a home together.

timesup234:
What if i tell you d truth that 70% of Americans are one paycheck away from living on the street and over 70% of Americans cant come up with a mere $500 in an emergency. The girl in the video is an idiot. Common Alaba trader will buy her and her generation and give Theresa May the change to keep. People in the UK are naturally broke and miserable. Nobody should call such a shithole home

This is a lie

timesup234:
continue to remain in the dark there. Nairaland is filled with broke lazy ass Nigerians who dont want to work. The richest and most successful Nigerians live here. UK is a land of poverty and broke ass. We should be sending them aid

Richest Nigerians you say. Yet kids hawk goods in traffic, armed robbers rape and pillage, majority of the youth are did the unemployed or underemployed, electricity nonexistent, water supplied by utility companies nonexistent, the environment is incredibly dirty, I could go on and on

Yes I love Nigeria as it is my home but Nigeria is horrible

mployer:
They keep insulting themselves thinking they are insulting their Papa land.

The richest black man is living here. Who tf are you?

More than half over Nigeria 60% live in poverty. Think about that number for a second

Her teeth is brighter than some people's future

Doctorflaky:
No need to run out of the country. applying to our platform as a Doctor, you can earn more than the doctors leaving.

Story story story ... average general practioner here in Melbourne earns about $200k per year. That is about 50 million naira per annum. More than 4 million naira a month.

Una don dey smoke Abi?

baby124:
We need to start executing them publicly and shaming their families. Too many lives lost and for what? I am sure the ones that went to Dubai have been doing this successfully in Nigeria that they thought they could replicate same feat abroad.

Nigeria needs help and she needs it fast. Increase in crime is just a symptom of a society collapsing under the weight of poverty, corruption and lawlessness

Ironi:
Why are some of you that dumb?

Are the Ghanaians in Nigeria commiting crimes ??

If they are you must be stupid not to deport them.

Even if they are a nuisance to your country , you have all God given right to throw them out.

It’s the citizens who would force the government to act.

I have no doubt that Nigerian miscreant would be deported en masse very soon, the government would have no choice.

Unfortunately, .migration brings the good the bad and the ugly. Only bigots punish people for crimes committed by others they happen to share the same country of birth with.

It is idiotic!

Mariangeles:
Nigerian atheists are most times lawless and without principles .

They have no respect because it means nothing to them.
They behave however they please with no conscience.
Nothing guides there emotions.
They'll hurt and disrespect you without remorse.
Mostly cold hearted.
They're even more dangerous.

As a former Nigerian atheist this statement is filled with so much generalizations that I almost didn't bother to respond.

Nigerian atheists are lawless you say, yet Nigeria is a very religious country yet has one of the highest crime rates in the world. Yet you say atheists are lawless.

When you eventually get your passport and leave ,try not to go back there.

There's no hope for Nigeria or even Africa as a continent

GeneralShepherd:
I don't want to die. It's depressing sometimes I don't blame theists for hoping on eternity.

Isn't it funny that I am now a theist

Are you happy?

Are you without electricity?
Are you happy with the police killing you?
Are you happy with boko haram?
Are you happy 5 years after graduation no job?
Are you happy with the lack of clean pipe borne water?
Are you happy with traffic in Lagos?
Are you happy ?

It is not about castigating the white man, Nigerians are unhappy

GeneralShepherd:
I am here!

What made me loose faith? The inefficacy of prayers did the magic for me. If it worked god did it,if it didn't it's not god's will and if you ask questions you are damned.

It during my journey after youth service in my quest for a job that I realised god doesn't exist
Intact I landed my first job when I discarded the idea of God.

And now I've made a u-turn , lack of belief in God is stupidity

Reduce the salaries of politicians. Not so hard to come up with a smart solution in it?

Hadampson:
Racial Discrimination

Here, what we meant by racial discrimination is just that most of the foreign countries there are always a differentiation between the black and the White people (Nigerian and foreigners) and they give priority most to their white people.
You can never see why a Nigerian will be their Director general or even heading the uniform officers. While sort of things are not happening in Nigeria once you have citizen certificate and you're qualify for the post you would be given/select. But eyinbo people always consider their children for a professional job than giving it out to a Nigerian, so you rarely secure a good professional job in foreign country except for maid, servant and domestic workers.

Oga stop talking rubbish. In foreign countries leadership of positions is by merit. For fucksake Barack Obama was America's president.

Ever heard of Chuka Umunna. Biko shut up.

Have you mentioned tribalism in Nigeria? The fact that ibos can't vote without fear in Lagos?

So Buhari made the largest single jump and we still spend money on subsidy.

Next Level oshe!

Orangina:
Have not seen when an atheist attacking devil . it is only GOD they attack. that means atheist is a DEVIL INCARNATE Sitting on the fence. Devil is an accuser.
I LOVE GOD.

This argument is not very strong.

This is the atheist position , the world is purely physical God does not exist. This obviously means that atheists also reject the existence of devil.

UyiIredia:
Think about it. Can you be morally absolute or morally relative about EVERYTHING?

Can you show me how morality can be subjective sometimes and then objective other times?

UyiIredia:
The thing I am realizing is that when it come to context that is not the case. Morality could be absolute or relative when it comes to context.

Hmmm... unfortunately objectivity is devoid of context , context is applicable only when talking about subjective issues.

For example Oxygen is oxygen , if the chemical composition of oxygen changes it seizes to be oxygen but becomes a completely different compound.

In the same vein morality is either subjective or objective, it cannot be both interchangeable for after it becomes subjective it can no longer go back to being objective .

When any thing is said to be objective the inherent characteristic of such a thing is the fact that it's attributes are immutable and does not depend on the subjective views of its observer.

johnydon22:
I don't think absolutism has an inbetween. Something is either absolute or not.

100%

UyiIredia:
TBH his argument make sense. And BTW I am something between moral relative and absolutist. I feel you can still argue against pedophilia under a case where moral relativism doesn't fully apply and there's some moral absolute.

Do we seriously have to judge pedophilia like eating a cake? I think the moral sphere isn't so divided against the two sides as it seems.

Pedophilia is wrong today and I agree with everyone on that but to say morality is relative and absolute at the same time is a contradictory as saying you found a desert under water.

If is either morality is absolute or relative . If it is absolute then Muhammad was wrong and will always be wrong, if it is not then Muhammad was not wrong but his followers now are wrong.

CoolUsername:
With all due respect, this where my empiricism trips your sophistry. With hard facts and evidence of the negative consequences of an action, my "opinion" on paedophilia is only as much of an opinion as any scientific theory.

Intresting arguments but now you are appealing to science for moral guidance?

You do realise that in universities that there is a reason science students study philosophy ?

Science in its raw form does not posit any moral framework. Science is just science, you then interprete scientific findings through a moral framework which outside the realms of science . Hence why philosophy is part of most science degrees

As sad as it is that people lost their lives, death is inevitable. As a deist , I believe God does not intervene in the affairs of men and therefore a plane crash does not disprove his existence.

It is still 100% illogical to think everything came out of an unknown thing that must not be God.

id911:
May Allah bless your former boss. He's a very good business man. I hereby call on all the MDs in Nigeria to do a clandestine personnel assessment on all their staff members and fire any of them that helped foist this calamity on us the second time

The hypocrisy is staggering. If he was atikulated you people will be shouting Buhari is a tyrant

Marriage is overrated. There are a lot of people that are married but yet unhappy. Why then are we being sold a lie that marriage leads to happiness?
