And by the way, what's a leftist? I'm not meaning to troll or anything. I just wanted to follow you ni and I saw the word. I probably should've just searched Google...

Nah, it'll be too boring to be a learning experience. I'll just wait for you to answer me

Wow, I enjoyed this, thank you so much!. Don't go just yet ooo... You cannot just come here and dump a bunch of weird stuff on us and expect somebody not to ask questions (especially dumb somebodys like me)

Please elaborate on what flat binaries are ooo, that's like one of the major things in the post I didn't understand. I've heard (or read) it from somewhere, but I don't know what it (or they) is.

And, please write that second post. It's informative, refreshing and makes me wanna rip my head off cause I didn't know some of these things. Plus, you become a better writer as you go.

I'm waiting for the answer to the first question and the second post...

SegFault:
Windows sha, me I no dey do again. They should have just used the normal standard for OSes, as for assembly, ARM still dey hook me x86 is quite easier though even though I'm not done yet.

x86 is extremely huge in my opinion. I (mistakenly) downloaded the Intel developer manual (All the volumes in PDF) and I was studying their instruction set, but it was so overwhelming, I regretted downloading that file almost instantly. I rarely use it because it's so verbose, and it adds too much complexity to something I still have not grasped enough of yet. I just take the bits and pieces I need to learn from google when I need them.

SegFault:
No honestly, you have to learn about operating systems, Learn networking then understand the protocols and technologies used in networks, you have to learn assembly for x86, AMD64, AArch 64, ARM haba, then you have to learn how to reverse engineer reading disassembled C++ is like trying to read Hebrew, you have to understand ELF files (I hate this one like hell) chai the list is too long.

I hate the Microsoft PE format even more. Anything Windows just upsets me.

You're right that there's too much to learn with hacking though. That's why the people that do these stuff are freaking AWESOME!!!
Maybe one day I'll know half of these things before I die. Knowing myself and how lazy I am though, I really doubt I'll know a quarter. Imagine, I'm still stuck with assembly language since God-knows-how-long.

SegFault:
Hacking isn't only about networking and also the real reason why Nigerians aren't really into hacking is because the road map to learning it is as twisted and narrow as the road to oblivion.

Jisox!!!

This got me cracking like hell! As in eh? I really love that word

Bonatheripper:
Nigerian don't have hackers
Relocate to Europe or Asia or America unless you want to end up hacking Facebook accounts

Waddayou talking about? Don't make me lose my dream job just because you think Nigeria or Africa is wack. We got serious hackers here bro. They just don't do ethical hacking. They hack padlocks, Facebook, Android passwords and whatnot.

Seriously bro, I do not know why hacking is not prevalent in Nigeria. I just am not sure why I have to relocate to another continent to learn something I can learn here. I know you're making a valid point, cause we can all see that there are too few (too few to be seen) hackers around here. I just need to know why it's not possible to learn and practice hacking here.

I'm not a fan of telling people what and/or how to do something, but I have to agree with most of these things you pointed out.

These are reassuring words, and sometimes, we programmers need em. Especially in a world where you sleep thinking you use the next best technology (or programming language) only to wake up to hear there's some new technology that just reared its ugly head

And you're like, "What? What the hell is going on? I'm going to have to learn another programming language again? Another data structure Another programming pattern " Man, you have no idea. This programming business is something else my g.

One thing is though, it don't matter how many new technologies that come out and whatever complications they come with, I love programming. It's my way of life. Me yaf already settled for the "I cannot kill myself" logo. I'll enjoy as much as I can and use the little I know to make whatever I can and jus leave the rest for other people to take care of. I need a new tech and it's unescapeable? That's when I'll learn it. I ain't putting no unimportant shit in this brain of mine.

codeigniter:
were u able to convert the badges to pdf

Yeah, of course. I jus used chrome to print the each badge and saved it as pdf

NB - I added an extra space on the links, the anti-spam bot dey craze sometimes

Vim much like Emacs is an extremely customizable text editor ( I know, I know - Emacs wins here), unlike most editors it ships with most of it's features turned off or lacking which means you either turn it on or implement the feature you want yourself - or use plugins.

Anyway here's a github link to my own configuration https://github .com/melodyogonna/nvim, I believe I now have every single feature I had on Vs Code .... and more hopefully I can resist the urge to make changes to it, people much older and wiser than me have tried resisting the urge and failed

To use it you'll have to install Vim, or Neovim rather - Neovim is a fork of Vim and implements better IDE features https://neovim. io/ and Vim-Plug; one of the many plugin managers for Vim https://github .com/junegunn/vim-plug

Then you can clone the repo inside your ~/.config folder if you're using Mac or Linux, I don't exactly know the location for windows, sorry.

If you'd like to get started with Vim here's an article with the resources you may need https://www.fullstackpython .com/vim.html

Thanks man. You're the best!!

melodyogonna:
Yeah I plan to do that today

When you do, please lemme know

bunnaes:
Call me 0701 31 0 96 4 2

Let's see how it goes

I called, you dinor pick

codeigniter:
Nice, is that all one need what of the Microsoft own is it necessary

Nah, it's not necessary. All you need is three or more badges from either Microsoft or IBM or both. If you don't have from Microsoft buh you got for IBM then you're good to go

Did some on Microsoft too buh those ones dinor allow me to log in so I jus abandoned it

I already have ten badges, and I was just playing around with answering all those questions ni. For me, those questions are not hard enough jawe...

EDIT:
Damnit!! I only have a screenshot of 6, you can see every badge I collected on Acclaim though
https://www.youracclaim.com/users/hardebayho/badges

Bro, can you upload your vim configuration to GitHub so we can clone and have all these too? Ehn, abeg?

You people should stop attaching women to money jawe... What the hell does a dream woman even mean gan? For me, there's no such thing as dream woman. Me gan sef, I'm not dream man to anyone..

Let's be serious though, I don't think money has anything to do with finding someone you'll love and will love you for the rest of your life... I don't think real love should have dependencies, especially money... If she doesn't stay with you because you don't have money, then she's not your dream woman

Abeg bro, which theme is this ooo? I'm using elementary OS too, buh I'm on Mate Desktop with the default theme

uruba23:
I would find out but I think if you have a MasterCard or Visa linked to your google play account you should be able to pay for it, but if you encounter resistance maybe you should get an international Africard or GTBank dollar Mastercard

Thanks so much! I'm grateful for this.

EvilSec:
Totally didn't even notice the post was made in 2017. What was the alternative you opted for? I know it can't be Unity or Unreal cause they're heavier engines.

Allegro 5 and SDL2

uruba23:
I would look through it tonight, still haven't solve my Cordova problem and I need to publish my book on Google Play Store.

Cool. How does the Google play store book publishing thing work? And, do you know of any way I can get a developer account? I mean, the $25 thing. I don't have access to a dollar account so that's where I'm stuck right now

EvilSec:
Have you fixed this yet? Might be able to help

Yeah, I did. Buh I ended up dumping cocos-2d sha cause it was just too much for my laptop

It seriously looks like she is ooo... Considering how they just killed off Reede, and that this is the final season, you can't rule it off...

Just thinking that she's gone hurts me sef

I mean, I would be very pissed if they just made her die like that...

She's like the only reason I'm still watching the series right now

SegFault:
I am not saying that he could have used Rust, rust is still fresh in the game what I am saying is that many os developers can never agree to use Rust, syntax is too hard and for all your efforts it's not even a fair competitor with C. C is still used today.

Wait ooo. Because of this thread, I had to go check out Rust. I even downloaded and tested it and I must admit, it's really addictive. I've not gone too far with it so I cannot say that their syntax is difficult to learn/use. What I do know, is that it's extremely easy to get started with using and learning Rust compared to C or C++. Once you install it, tutorial, book, documentation and everything else follows... For me this is an invaluable tool in my arsenal compared to C that doesn't even have a standard approved website for documentation or anything like that. I know for sure that Rust cannot beat C though. It's just not feasible

InfinityFabric:
Haha, not surprised Madam SegFault is supporting C++.
The entire existence of Rust is based on preventing Segfaults /s

Let us see where it goes, but with C++20, it seems the committee is on a winning streak like Man United and AMD right now.
With C++23 (Executors and Networking pleease..., Reflection v1, Pattern matching v1 maybe), C++26 Rust will need more than hype.

If you're going to kill C++, u'd better look like C++.

Those Rust people yaf not stop work too na. Abi they've stopped maintaining it ni?

SegFault:
I face them everyday, bro. And please rust in its wildest dreams can never surpass C stack overflow guys could kill you for saying this. Why do you think OS developers use C, even new operating system writers still use C few use rust for anything. A language that has to ensure memory safety is what you are comparing with a language that does not care about that, go and argue with Linus Torvalds nah.

Its not like Linus could've used Rust to create Linux na. I mean, Linux has been existence WAY before rust. I don't think rust is faster than C though. I think it might have a chance against C++. C is like their grandfather or something

Are you sure? Cause what I'm seeing here is that node is trying to write into the 'Program Files' directory buh doesn't have permission to do so... Maybe you should try to move the node installation from Program Files somewhere else it would not need any admin permission

Taofeekdboy:
Maybe, you need to read more on Java and you will surely understand that Java has issues with security. All programming languages have their strength and weakness. I am not even here to argue with any one on programming language.
Use what suits you.

What is Kalas? The only time I ever hear that is when Jinder Mahal delivers his finishing maneuver
