serious steel business is no business china has killed the business ....

best thing is to have duty free steel import so that companies can import steel as raw materials and use them to produce things ....that's why I look at Nigerians fighting for ajokuta

china has killed steel industry completely

So, we should keep on importing instead of producing ours indigenously?

I support the idea considering how our hostel conditions are at the moment.

So, you mean no measure or whatsoever could be put in place to curtail the virus in your hostel?

Very interesting topic. I have a Masters degree in Computer Science. I also have Oracle and Microsoft DB Certifications.

I was working in one particular bank like that. I was in Database department. I had a senior in DB dept. then. He studied Mechanical Engr. but became a Database Admin. On one occasion when the system was very slow, the Database response was sluggish. Users across our about 500 branches were complaining bitterly. Then, I told my Senior DB Officer to let us increase the Memory of our IBM Server which housed the Database as a temporary measure while we investigate further. Funnily, he did not know what that will do. He did not know what increasing the Memory of the IBM Server will do to the problem at hand. This is because he does not have knowledge of basic computer architecture. He did not know that Memory capacity, Processor speed and some other factors determine the performance of the Server and the softwares running on the Server.

On some occasions when our Oracle Databse behaves crazily, then our Head of IT comes screaming, I just tell him the problem is from the hardware which is the IBM Server, that it is the Server that is behaving crazy. The Head of IT will run to Server dept and harras the guys there. The guys in our Server dept all studied Elect/Elect Engr. So, they too do not have a proper understanding of computer architecture. You cannot say that they are not qualified because banks employ the very best hands into specialized departments. So, when I send the Head of IT on an errand to Server dept, I and my Senior DB Officer will have time to investigate the problem at hand and solve it.

It got to a time, the Head of IT merged Database dept and Server dept because I was always pushing crazy problems to Server dept which the Servers guys will not understand. So, it became Databse and Server dept. So, we were brought to the same room, five of us then. So, any problem, we solve it together, no pushing of problems to other depts. I started learning about Server Administration while the Server guys too started learning Database so that we could stand in for each other.

Programmers in Software dept too who were formerly pushing their problems to Server Dept whenever their Software was running slowly could not do that again because I would sit down with them, analyse the problem and tell them why it is their Software that is sluggish and needs to be optimised and not the Server.

I have some other funny and crazy experiences in other bank and a telecoms company, but they are very specific and the people involve may be reading this, so I will just continue remembering them and laughing at professional gate crashers who jump into professions and start boasting.

In summary, the self-taught programmers that think they know all about computing and that studying Computer Science is waste of time, they are still working on small projects, when they handle big projects, then they will know that Alli Baba is not at the same level with Funny Bone.

I don't see reason why an Elect/Elect engineer can't fix server side problems which is part of there basic course in school!

You can school me more on this.

I believe in whatever you do, seeking for more knowledge to be highly skilled and proficient is very vital in your field of expertise. We should learn how to identify and distinguish incompetent from wrong course of study.

How can a 55year old man who is relatively well to do say he is suffering from depression.

He's a nut case as far as I'm concerned!

You've ascribed depression to only people that are poor?

Anybody can b depressed!

Are you sure of this history..?

Yes of course.



A hall was named after her which is Queen Elizabeth Hall.


The place she came out from is called Trenchard Hall used for hosting events and Inaugural Lectures.

I indented lines 2 and 4 to be under the function declaration.

I indented lines 3 to be under the if statement and line 5 to be under the else statement but I don't know why these are not reflecting as such........

If you are writing code, you need to format your text in code format.

[Code]

#Your code here

[/Code]

Change the C to c

Example below:

 print('hello word')

Exercise 1

Write a python program that obtains the domain name (thapar.edu) from the URL
http://www.thapar.edu/index.php/about-us/mission

Nice initiative bro.
I was able to extract 'www.thapar.edu' with regex.

 import re

 pattern = r"(\w+)(\.)(\w+)(\.(\w+))"
 str = 'http://www.thapar.edu/index.php/about-us/mission'
 match = re.search(pattern, str)
 if match:
 	print(match.group())
 else:
 	print('Not found!')

 

I hope others too can secede successfully if there is no restructuring forth coming!

I think we should be very careful about the usage of these locally made face masks because of what I saw today. I was in a bus where a passenger called a facemask seller.

After asking for the price, he took one and put it on. He immediately told the seller that he wanted to make another choice. He finally paid for one after putting on about 5 different types. I noticed it and told the man the implication of what he has just done and he became so sober.

Even other passengers were looking fearful because what I said was true. Now, what if that man has the virus, he has succeeded in affecting those masks without knowing.

These infected masks will be bought by other innocent people. It is also possible that is how these facemask hawkers allow buyers to first put it on before they buy.

There is a high possibility the virus can be spread easily this way. For those of us who patronize these local hawkers, let be careful and vigilant.

Permit me to share.

Thanks.

And these Northern states still dey open transfer window for Alimajiris??

This figures keep increasing!

Look the earlier we face reality the better for all of us,nothing good grows in this shithole country, our Government has killed the economy and rendered it useless everyday you keep hearing that they are borrowing MONEY from here and there yet no result. Develop yourself and stop having hope on the government for help because they won't do shit for you.

Personal development is the key but it thrive very fast when the government explore them for local use because it enhance proficiency and development in general. Some people already developed themselves but they hsve nothing to contribute to the country due to very little opportunities available.

todugo:
Rubbish....that one drone,with small tank,like my cup of tea is used as corona disinfectant. Which area will that one cover. We deceive ourselves in this country alot

We don't support development in this country and when we see other countries showcase theirs some people will still complain and open their gutter mouth saying bad words to this country. That's sad!

onecoder:
Is this even a time for showboating? Even the Chinese never used drones to fight a virus. Nonsense

You're not informed bro and that is sad!
They used drones and robots to disinfect their public spaces.

Not like Lagos state where the generator fumes is more than the disinfectant.

texazzpete:
Everyone supporting this nonsense is an slowpoke.



Nonsense. In fact, that sounds uncannily like the 'justification' my muslim colleague put forward for child marriage.

I won't insult you but what you just said is absolutely wrong. even in US kids start elementary school at age 6. So, what's your point here?

Do you know what we call cognitive development and the age kids undergo this?
