Hannania:
If you're aiming for the backend, cloud skills should be your priority. Unless you intend to go full stack, please avoid any front-end framework and work on Spring/Springbrook while solidifying your database knowledge

Okay Sir. Thanks.
I already have plans for cloud skill.
DB knowledge never solidify yet but would hone it soon.

Hannania
Good evening Sir,
Please I have some little question about Java:
Did you add a front end skill like react or angular to your skillset before landing a role?
Do you think JSP or thymeleaf is still relevant to the present day job search for a Java role?
I will soon round off the Coursera specialization course that you once recommend.
My end goal is to land a remote role with Java.

@ ZiiVentures
I think the question want op to sabi if...else more. Instead of trying switch, the op should understand how multiple if else work.

For 1≤n≤9
It means your n would be greater than or equals 1 and less than equals 9.
What qtguru is saying, is that, you would need basics of discrete maths to understand your constraints in DSA question.

Greetings all,
Please anybody with an idea of how to go about a suspended account?

Recently, my account was restricted and was asked to verify identity. After much trying, I was able to verify it using the digital NIN card. Immediately, after verifying, I saw the notification of account suspended and was asked to reach out to support center.
I reached out to the support center and was told that my issue would be forwarded to the team that should handle such issue but till now no show.

Just to inform the house that the suspension on my account has been lifted. Na to dey hustle gig remain now.

Peterpan007:



Yes it for flexisaf

All the best! Hopefully you get in. Never knew they've started DS question for intern position, I thought this was for a junior role FE role.

Regex:


Yes, I can do that stuff.

@tensa Is it possible to split a string without a delimeter? I think that is what @DrLevi means by asking "split by what?".

@Op Flexisaf is showing in your browser oooo; is this for Flexisaf?

My idea of solving never balance for head. I am thinking of stack stuff. Like the common bracket problem.

What does this mean ?

Usually, if you check Upwork, there are lots of gig requiring one who has play store account to upload their app. Seeing those gig always, made me conclude that, most of those app might be violating the play store policy.

Lota11:


Planning on taking the challenge too. I guess itll be tough.

Try pass the two oo. In my own case, I passed the array question, na the other one my brain blank and I was not successful though my 3 month waiting period has elapsed. Hoping to take it soon too.

All the best!

You need an insanely high IQ probably 160+ and a ton of luck.

niel63:


Even the white folks celebrate and eventually pour out tears of joy when are given admission.

So, you must be accepted by them ooo when you apply... you must either be a prodigy or have some other value to offer to the school. No be only bookheads alone ooo...

Back then, it was the naive me feeling fly immediately after school but now I don calm down.
I once stumbled upon a first class guy on Twitter asking MIT about how many retweet is needed for him to get in? I just smile to myself.

tensazangetsu20:


Getting into MIT is good but it's very hard from Nigeria. A first-class and a perfect GRE score doesn't guarantee an admission and the CS program is the most competitive program there.

True talk.
There was a time I was trying some of those ivy league of schools, their feedback no gree give me joy, I con dey reason say even with money, one might not get into some of this school.

tensazangetsu20:



You do know there are Nigerians with no degree working at FAANG. Daniel Ayobami has no degree and is working at Meta. If you look through the Nigerians who regularly solve leetcode you would see some Google engineers and most I have seen only have a first degree from Nigeria.

I wanted answering but I was like what do I know.

Najdorf:
It's tough. If you can get scholarship and get into a school like MIT, Caltech, Waterloo, Carnegie Mellon even if only for Masters, then you'll improve your chances

Your dreams are valid, but it seems you have too many dust. Let's clean it up.

Sir, this your massive tips is worth a lot.
Gracias.

Telegon:


And op should keep up the good work of updating the thread, also with his sources of learning

Yes the op should keep it up. I think he mention his source of learning as the docs so far.

@ tmanis, you did well with the explanation to our Oga.

@ Telegon, savedInstance is still there but the modern way of designing android app prefer you to use ViewModel/LiveData and it is use in the MVVM pattern of design.

DrLevi:

Depends on your skill set.

I was given one as a Mobile developer. Failed it though

In my case, the first round was a technical test(with one test platform). A leetcode easy and one medium(maybe hard)

The second round should be an oral technical interview with a senior developer but I didn't get to that stage

Thanks. Skillset is Java/Android Developer. I would give it a try.

Anointedclass:

E no hard.just try it out

.
I don receive too much love letter na why I dey fear assessment this days. Today wey be Sunday sef, I don receive.
Would surely try it out. Thanks.

Hello,
Please has anyone taken Upwork assessment invitation test? If yes, what does it entail?
I got a mail asking me tagged Talent Assessment, asking me to take the Upwork skill certification.

@DrLevi

I found this site visa DOT Db DOT io

One leetcode per day keeps the unemployment away

This was the mantra of a colleague back then. His own was daily breakfast of hackerank before the day's task. It works as him don japa already.

Saw the mail about having technical issue. My question was about one who received the mail for the test but didn't take the test till the time range given for the test expired.

Please if there is anyone with link to reach out to them should help. The link in the mail are mostly for technical support.

Case resolved. Thanks

Fatasy:
They sent another mail,it's a technical issue

Saw the mail about having technical issue. My question was about one who received the mail for the test but didn't take the test till the time range given for the test expired.

Please if there is anyone with link to reach out to them should help. The link in the mail are mostly for technical support.

Hello,
Please is there anyway out for one who didn't see the mail on time and the period given for the test has elapsed?

Hello,
Please I am trying to integrate remita into my app but I can't move forward after much searching and reading the docs.
Any request I make requesting for RRR send a response of
"INVALID _HASH_VALUE" The hash value of the parameters do not match.

In the docs, it was written in JavaScript as:

var hash = CryptoJS.SHA512("parameters are passed here";

My Java implementation is this:

MessageDigest md= MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512";
String input = "parameters";
byte[ ] messageByte = md.digest(input.getBytes());
String hashedInput = Base64.encodeToString(messageByte, Base64.NO_WRAP);

Please any tip/guide is welcome. I don tey for this implementation abeg.

Yes it's like your individual Net.flix. For use within your home. Some people host it on a cloud server and are able to watch their content from wherever they are. But it's kind of a grey-area because na mostly "pirated" content people dey use am host. So for example most of use here are only conversant with Netfli.x. But there are many other options like Hul.u, Disne.y, A.mazon and a few others, each with their own series. So what goons like us do is download content from all of these providers and aggregate them into one place using the previous software I mentioned. I no wan mention their names cos I got hit with a 24 hour ban twice.

Thanks for the explanation.
I have seen the options available to choose from in your previous post.
Even me too sef fear the bolded part.

xtremeidea:


You need a computer (regular desktop, laptop or single board like raspberry or a micro computer - anything that has OS sha), A router, a hard drive with stored Media content, download a few applications and your good to go. That's all!

In my case, i only need the internet to pull down the movie information and pictures to make them look beautiful on screen just like Netflix.

Thanks for the explanation.

xtremeidea:


That's the good part! It works locally without the internet. Even when your internet down, as far as you have a router, you can access all your movies and content on any device, phone, tablet, PC or TV.

As I read this, e just dey sweet me.

Once I am done with it and e do well, I go post am here.

It's better to be unemployed than to teach.

I think this one is applicable if you are exposed or well aware of stuff. Most started without being aware of options/opportunity in other areas.

Schools in my area in Lagos pay teachers 15k.

I know grad who earn less than that in teaching.

My advice for those still in the teaching and looking to move, na to get an exit plan and implement ASAP. Easier said than done as usual. (I think this is applicable to all job sef).

tensazangetsu20:
Chemical engineering and teaching. This country is cursed

Why now Boss? There is no course you won't find in teaching ooo. Besides teaching seems like the lowest hanging fruits for most of us.
I have seen agric Engineering, banking & finance, accounting, computer science , etcetera

@op
It is not easy but I pray and hope you find something soonest. All the best!

airsaylongcome:


The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. Fully support you on this. All kinds of questions are welcome.
Meanwhile @xtremeidea I will hit you on the SSD thread. Need reliable source for HD content for my Plex

Tabs are opened to Google some stuff here.

Don't know what Proxmox is? Ask
Home Assistant and Sonoff? Ask
Emby, Plex, Jellyfin leaving you confused? Ask

How do I start with the bolded? I assume this one is for you to download movie and keep them in a central repository and then you can access them from anywhere via internet. What makes it different with streaming from Netflix abi na like individual Netflix. But person go dey burn data ooooooo.

airsaylongcome:


Lol! I am happy to leave the conversations out here. Mesef na learn I dey learn and I didn't know we had a few Home Automation hobbyists on here. A lot of the stuff being thrown around fit confuse you and that's normal. Just step back and start from the top by Googling Home Automation. I also heard that Home Automation is also called Domotics so you can also use that as a keyword. The long story short about home automation is to have IoT control of your home (or dare I say entire building for Commercial Real Estate buildings).

Sure even me surprise for the responses so far. Indeed, lots of low-key peeps abound here.
Yes Sir, na the main goal be that.

airsaylongcome:


It's like we are going to have to link-up outside here. Cos you are mentioning things I'm damned interested in (not PCB level yet sha o).

Abeg if e possible, make una continue here for peep like me who is following the thread for reference/knowledge purpose.
Some stuff no clear but I still dey read them; e go clear las las hopefully.

Op My own is this: check out uplabs for design inspiration. Read about "Material Design" and how it applies to your case.
Lots of thing dey off. Imagine having your contact displayed in an editext abi na textbox and then clicking go, what happened to making the contact clickable.
This one wey Oga tensa just laugh, make you know say something dey.
