Two months in domaining and yet no sale even a mini one? information or tools you may be using may be outdated or you simply don't know how to operate it. and mind you, there are still alot of good domains out there mainly deleted or expired. learn, read and practice more.

Best wishes.

Oga Iyke, my own don pass two months o. I bought one domain with GoDaddy, I bought two with namesilo. I have sent outbound based on your template and nobody even respond.
Is there anything that I might be doing wrong? I don dey even reason auction sef.

Are u truly a Muslim ? .. Ur post funny like

Look at the picture with open mind u will see yakubu dogara and co are they Muslims? They stay with them at the graveyard because they can communicate in Arabic language. .. I find it difficult to comprehend ur religion act and where u got it from bro ..

Please, how will you asked me if I am truly a Muslim? I didn't identify those in the picture. For my religion act; I don't get it from politicians because they can't be the benchmark/yardstick, I try to get it from the primary source.
If you are a Muslim then ask yourself; do you wish to buried in a Christian cemetery? If your answer is No, then find out the reason.
PS: let's not sugar-coat anything, Islam is the way it is and not for us to use our ideology/logic. We all know there is difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim cemetery.

wink2015:
I have this questions for my muslims brothers and sisters. I do not see christians at the grave yard of senator wakii.

I can only see muslims politicians. where are the christian politicians at the grave yard?

does this mean that christian are not allowed or permitted to attend the burial of a muslims?

If you are a muslims please throw more light on this aspect.

We are all here to learn.

From my little knowledge: the burial rites is a religious acts, so Christian are not permitted. The Christian might be lost when they start praying for the dead there.
Lets wait for the cleric here to clarify stuff because I might be very wrong.

Thanks for the response.

ja2ken:
It seems the Daad online application (PTDF ) option is no longer available. Please is there any other way to apply ??

The DaaD portal closed before the PTDF.

Greetings.
Please who knows if University of Hull and University of Strathclyde are among the institution affiliated for the commonwealth scholarship. The link to list of institution is not displaying.

Barywhyte:
Not yet. but I'm almost there. I'm working on how to present my views on agile development to my boss. You really need to be in IT as a developer or system engineer b4 u can make a switch. DevOP is a profession of many parts!

Thanks for the response. I will keep searching because my main concern is how to break into the IT sector; where I dey now, no dey help my matter.

airsaylongcon:
My wedding that Saturday don get as e be ó. Got to know of this like 2 weeks ago but how I go change date when invites don go out

Bros, is it your wedding? If it is, congrats and All the best!

They didn't give me admission o. Abeg who knows whether there will be a second list? I applied for MSc Computer Science.

SoftEng:
I'll be trying my hands on one of the challenges. I'm not yet sure which challenge I'll work on.

Anybody here interested in collaborating, please let me know. However, you have be:
1. really serious minded.
2. create time out of your busy schedule to work on the challenge.
3. ready to read research papers.
4. ready to learn quickly required background/related techniques.
5. already fluent in at least one programming language (preferably python)

Please only those who meet the above requirement should indicate interest.

Thank you.

Some other time, I will like to collaborate with you but please what is your definition of 'fluent' in Python? Make I know if I fluent or not.

@Barywhyte
How is everything? Have you been able to make the job switch to DevOps? I am currently learning DevOps and am already thinking about how I will get a real-life experience and improve my skill-set before the juicy job come.

greenstar:
just a quick one.
I submitted my Nigerian profile account.
https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/_~0107c5027c2c070ec2/

I am number one in the world in the US English test, yet I wasn't approved.
Please reviewy profile and check any discrepancies that may be there.
Thank you so much

I am not a pro on Upwork cos I don't even have account yet but I will suggest you improve on the list of skills you put. I may b wrong. Let's wait for @Coderific to finish his prescription.

Greetings.
Somebody might be interested in this: https://research.fb.com/programs/facebook-ai-research-residency-program/

In my own view: personally, I would prefer Telegram because it is more Developer friendly and the audience could be worldwide. Though WhatsApp has more users. Again, Telegram has API for those that might want to play with it. One of the reason why I think WhatsApp group die easily is that they are yet to allow incorporating of bot into the app (though I don't know if they have) . For instance, in telegram, in some group when you join; you are welcome by a bot. In some cases, a bot provide updates on different materials. And there is a pinned message available to user. Again new user can see previous message in a group unlike WhatsApp.
Any one decided on is welcome. Even though, it is slack.

Unmarshalled:
Yes I mean Progressive Web Apps. Since I've started it already I'll stick with it. I'll learn ML and AI after that Though I'll like to be a member of this group.

Aah! We are in the same boat ai. Me am learning Android right now. I just do like @SoftEng suggested, I will build my Android skill up, then delve into ML.

I once participated in a challenge and my task was to build a bot using NLP, I wanted using DialogFlow but I was told to build a custom NLP for the nature of my task, na so I give up o.

Dramadiddy:
it's kinda rare to see a buyer that would be interested in that name.. from the stuff I've read here, your domain name should represent a product. it's keywords should be searched in probably more than a million times in a month with high cpc too.. the name is cool. but would be hard to find a buyer. try narrowing ur search to something related to a product or service. hope it helps. I be newbie too oh

Thanks. I will try to improve on my name search.

lum1:
True. I could have done that but I needed to emphasize a point. The point is that inputs are always features. Features can be learned (as in convolutional neural networks) or simply discretely extracted (as in artificial neural networks). Back to the example, you will agree with me that each of the six witnesses would have a perspective on what happened. Some may not have witnessed the entire proceedings. I can thus classify their perspectives as features (incomplete and partial observations of the actual event)

Na all this Grammer dey fear me for ML. Nevertheless, thanks.

Greetings to the bosses in the house!
In my own case I have gone through the thread and I was able to buy an expired domain. I have sent letters to possible end users but no reply, please is there any thing am still not getting. The domain is: vrrealworld.com, I bought via namesilo.

The best way to understand ANN is intuitively. The mathematics is beautiful only if you are mathematically oriented. Lets talk about a simple multilayer perceptron. Three levels; output layer, input layer and the middle layer. Let me use a generic example.
Two people fought in an office. 6 people witnessed it. As the CEO of the company, you set up a committee of directors to examine the facts. There are six directors in this committee. The goal is for them to examine the facts of the incident, they report the facts to you and you decide whether to fire the employees, suspend them or do nothing. So, to make this simple, the directors would talk only to the witnesses. Each witness, comes into the meeting room and narrates what happened (their perception of what happened), each individual director, tries to understand the events from the perspective of 6 different witnesses, he or she writes a report. You, as the boss reads each of the six reports and you come to decision; fire, suspend or nothing. This is a multilayer layer perceptron (ANN).
In reality, this example correlates to a pre-trained system, but this helps understand some of the underlying logic. I suggest you understand Logistic regression first, then the concept of classification. Then you move to a multi layer perception (forward training), then try to understand backpropagation(this is usually the hardest to get since is based on understanding how and why differential equations work. I hope this helps. Sorry I could not be of more help. I drew up a simple sketch to illustrate my story

Nice one! I was thinking you will classify your story into the three levels.
The witness will be the input layers.
The director getting the statement from the different witness will constitute the middle layer.
The CEO decision is the output layout.

P.S: I no too sabi but I guess the middle layer is where deep learning take place and where all those Mathematics are really involve.
Somebody should correct me if my assumption is wrong abeg.

Gentleman, Shall we? Let the party begin.

mexzony:
Explain this andela thing.

It is like the Udacity/Google partnership with Andela to train people in the Andela Learning Community.
#JustMyThought though.

Kalapizim:
woow that's great, I was the LO then, my regards to musty Ericshan and SY just tell them its kizito

You try. You still remember some peeps.

@missterious: so a nairalander dey our midst here.

Please expert in the house (iykepromotion, expertix and others); Please I have a domain which I feel will make a nice sales but I can't find a direct link to the real end users. I have been using the info@availablecompanyname to contact them. Do you think I will get a reply by using the available Contact Us email address?

raymod170:
try to be a master of one language first and build up on that, developing and creating solutions needed for day to day activities then you would be amazed by your progress, than learning everything language and braging about it by word of mouth than my projects to show #StayFocused

Nice advice! #StayFocused

asalimpo:
Did this interview really take place or is it fictional/anecdotal? That interviewer was really cheeky to end it the way he did.

It actually happened to me, in one health NGO in Abuja.
Name of organization: ehealth4...
The way he ended it, I was not even expecting a callback except maybe a miracle.

I applied for a Junior Software developer position with a Non Governmental Organization (NGO), fortunately, I was called for an interview. On the interview day, as I get to the venue, on entering the office, the first question I was asked is: Where is my laptop? From the shock on my face, I was asked: How do I intend to display my portfolio? I was like ‘Wetin be portfolio again?’
Well! The real interview began, after the usual ‘can we meet you question?’ The following conversation happened between the Interviewer and me:
Interviewer: Which Programming language are you comfortable with?
Me: Actually, I started learning Java but have dumped it for Python. So, I am learning Python now.
Interviewer: Can we just say, you have chosen Python as your preferred language?
Me: For now YES! Because you never can tell if I might change again?
Interviewer: OK. Can we asked you question on Python?
Me: OK. No problem.
Interviewer: Which type of language is Python? Compiled or Interpreted language?
Me: Interpreted language.
Interviewer: Is Python dynamically typed or strong typed?
Me: *smiles* Dynamically typed.
‘In my mind, I was like: I have ace this interview today. God, Thank you.’
Interviewer: How many version of Python do we have?
Me: Two. Python 3 is the latest and the other one is Python 2.
Interviewer: Mention two Python framework.
Me: Django and Tkinter.
Interviewer: Are you sure?
Me: ‘after a pause’ Yes.
Interviewer: I will agree with Django but not Tkinter.
Me: No problem.
Interviewer: How many project have you participated in?
Me: None.
Interviewer: How many project have you build? Or how many portfolio do you have?
Me: None.
Interviewer: How comes?
Me: *silence*
Interviewer: How come you know the basic of the language but have not really designed/build any tangible stuff?
Me: *clear throat* Well! You know I am a self-taught programmer, so I am still learning. I have not yet finished learning, to do something on my own or join a project. But, hopefully that will be soon. Moreover, I applied for this position because I felt it is more like an entry level position that I will be given hands-on training by the expert within the organization.
Interviewer: Thank you! Mr Ahmed, we will get in touch with you. We appreciate your coming, at least you will take it as an experience in the sojourn of a job seeker.
The main essence of writing this article is to emphasize on the facts that we graduate who are going down the lane of self-learning might be doing it wrong unless we change our mindset/approach.

Off course, as graduate we have been conditioned to read and pass: ‘la cram la pour’. Unfortunately, the outside world is not like that, it is: ‘la know, la build something’.
As a graduate of CS, I never wrote/build any real stuff even after school except the few lines of code I wrote while in school. The most funniest one was when we were asked to write a code that output the multiplication table from 1 to 10 (Intro to OOP: C++); you will not believe I wrote it without using any loop and code span more than 50 lines.
Now, I am really trying to wet my feet and get my hand dirty with code. There are lots of talk that Nigerian programmers are just talkative without any real stuff (though it may be true because of our mindset of just reading to pass): am out to be an exception to that claim. It is also said that Nigerian programmer will tell you everything about a project but when the time comes to build; he/she just disappear or start giving flimsy excuse of ‘No time’.
Let’s change our learning programming and for sure there will be changes.

Hello! How come nobody is talking about ALC 2.0. In case you don't know; Andela has opened application for ALC 2.0.

Aegerine:
On the second question, At least two of the three referees must be your lecturers from previous institution.

On the first question, I don't know .

Thanks for the response; am already working on the referee stuff, to get at least two from my previous institution.
Still hoping to hear for the transcript stuff.
