Englandboy:
am older person why do you ask.

Because your age influences the type of advice or type of treatment you can get.

Anyway you cannot get permanent low Testosterone because of Masturbation.

Did you go for any blood test to measure your Testosterone (Total and Free), Estrogen, SHBG and LH levels before diagnosing yourself with low T ?

Do you stutter ? And how is it now ?

Englandboy:
Grosstel pls chat me up i dont want to harm myself, am facing similar issue like urs .

How old are you ?

Please pm me if you're down to network, you know the industry and the job market. I have a couple questions, and I could share one or two.

Has anyone received a job offer ?
Or is this just resume and email farming for an employment agency

Sorry this might be a contrary opinion but there’s a reason DS&A is usually a second year course in most structured Uni CS programs. It’s because you need a decent knowledge of a simple high level language (Python), low level language (usually C) and the difference between data structures implementations at both levels to be able to understand the trade offs you’ll be learning about. You also need the maths background to understand the simplicity of the discrete maths, graph and number theory algebras you’ll be using. The prereqs for those are usually Calculus, Stats and Linear algebra. (CLRS is the standard here)
Why you need a decent maths background ? You’ll be able to explain what’s happening under the hood even if you’re wrong. For example, you’ll know if the functions starting to look like a series it can probably be done with a O(log(n)) solution. Or if you’re using too many iterations or loops that’s a O(n) solution. Or the difference between even O(n) and o(n).Now you might argue that you could know these as a beginner, yeah you could memorize but how long before it becomes an headache and you become demotivated.
You don’t have to study the whole curriculum or learn it in-depth, but you need to have a working knowledge or a layman’s understanding of the complexities before you even attempt the leetcode or hackerrank of this world. That’s where I find Grokking Algorthms good.
That’s why a comprehensive algorithm course is 6 months tops and you mainly write in pseudo codes. It’s assumed your prior programming and maths experience would make you understand the logics and reasonings quickly.
My advise don’t actively think about DS&A until you can implement basic data structures using a high level language, and you’ll need at least a year of playing around with the language to get to that level or to even understand the beauty of what you’re working with. And when you start - plan to understand the basics in 3 months tops, spend the next three or so actively using it for job interviews because it’s easy to get burnt out fasttttas it’s mentally tasking PLUS when you get in the industry most of that thinking is already done or would be done by higher level architects in the organization.

You aren't putting respect on mine so.why should I put respect in yours?

For the avoidance of doubt here's my original comment that you seem to take offence with (and say I was dismissing OP as foolish)

"You wan sell your phone (we nor know whether na Nokia Torchlight or Trion) you dey ask how much you go sell am. Dash am out na"

How was this any attempt at calling someone foolish? Maybe you don't understand pidgin very well (and this is not in anyway throwing a shade)but I was basically asking the OP a rhetorical question.

I don't help people that have put in Zero effort. They don't value it. If he had come here asking how much to charge for a 5-page static paged website then that shows some work done on requirement gathering. And a more guided convo can occur. For people that know me I don't hoard information at all. In fact I have been called foolish for telling people so much info to guide their career. Heck I've even recommended alternative solutions to my competitors. So don't come here and try to talk down on me please

And AWS and USD charging are the "tech acumen" you nipped in the bud? SMH. I'm done fam. I didn't sch8im England and Canada so I'm certain I don't know anything. Have a wonderful night (or morning) wherever you are

Dude I am in Nigeria trying to make it out here as an entrepreneur lol.
I didn't take offence to your original Pidgin English. All I said is you could've just advised him and we could do better as a community.

"Someone owns his time and effort and is asking how much he should sell it and you are mouthing off at me for pointing out the folly of his question? If I host on AWS and bill my customers by the hour in USD does whatever figure I give him in anyway help him? You criticised me for "not helping" but in the end after your epistle you still didn't tell him a figure which is what he originally asked"
This was what I had time for. You can see you pointed out his question was foolish there. You also made a big deal of the fact that I didn't mention a figure, even though that was intentional as I later pointed out. I didn't spoon feed the dude but I answered him and he actually reached out to me. That was the only reason I replied you.

If you had said anything else but that, I would've rightfully apologized for singling out your post and then let you know why I singled out your post.

Now for tech acumen, dude you brought AWS hosting and USD billing and all those other complications to a newbie question ...

airsaylongcome:
Attacked what silly "tech acumen". And where did you "nip" it? OP asked how much he should sell his assets and I asked him how much would he sell the phone and that is supposed to be a tech acumen? Nowhere in any of my comments on this thread did I say anything about being a techie. You were the first to mention skill set, hosting and domain name. And in all you "merry-go-round" you still could not give him a figure. So what "tech acumen" did you nip? And then you come on here accusing me about a dick measuring contest yet you try to "intimidate" me by bragging that you went to "the Canadian equivalent of an Ivy League uni". I'm supposed to tremble in fear at that? Get head out of your anus.

You talked about making this a dick measuring contest and you getting my head fxcked or something. With what? The 2in dixk you think you have because you studied at "the Canadian equivalent of an Ivy League"? How does that even sound in your mouth? You aren't proud to say you studied at a top Canadian Uni you have to colour it with America? Mention the top 100 Universities in Canada and see if anyone cares about them here. Mention the top 5 even. Maybe na Ryerson you go sef you come dey brag for me.

So you didn't bring AWS and charging in USD up ?
Or you've not gone around using big grammer nitpicking at my metaphors ?
If you feel like it's bragging ? I can't help you man but those things don't move me. I can see how you can perceive it as bragging instead of just online identification.

Now for what it's worth I completed my secondary education in England, got a scholarship to study in Canada and turned down USA because of the obvious . So I only mentioned what you've been nitpicking at to put some context behind the post. I've never brought it up on this forum and I won't go down that tunnel with you.

HAHAHAHA Ryerson dude I haven't kept tabs on Canadian Unis in a while but please put some respect on my name

Now back to the cause of all this, only reason I called you out was because you're normally helpful to newbies on here and I saw that the dude was needing genuine help. I thought it was not too nice that you dismissed it as foolish.

I am actually helping the dude out now, so no need to continue this .. you can have the last word if you want to.

airsaylongcome:
Lol... Still waffling. Who gives a damn if you studied at the "Canadian equivalent of an Ivy League Uni". Shut the fxck up dimwit. I don't give two fxcks if you studied in a Canadian Ivy league. It's fxcking Canada man. Who cares? Since you want to to bring out your half penis, I will chop that stupid thick you call a dick and give it to vultures to nurse their young

Dude don't distract from the conversation.
I attacked your response, so trust me I expected a rebuttal.
But your rebuttal didn't make sense, and I knew you were gonna try to flex your 'tech acumen' so I made sure to nip that aswell
But you're going to resort to name calling instead of using logic ... HAHAHA

Have a blessed night brother

airsaylongcome:
You are going around name calling. And all you have done here is waffled. All air no substance. And you come running your mouth at me? He asked for a figure and you are here waffling. You should have mentioned a figure now. See don't get me started. Do not

Actually chill the Bleep out man.
I was going to say 200K but then I realized that was relative and I assumed he's just starting out hence the question.
So I told him factors he should consider when costing, what he should do to retain customers and then to reach out to me personally where we could take the discussion from there.

Is it because I didn't spoon feed him the answer ??

What the heck did you do again, beside calling the question foolish
If you want this to be a dick measuring contest you better come prepared or go get skull bleeped or something.
And for what it's worth I stay lowkey here but I studied CS at a Canadian equivalent of an Ivy League Uni so you better come correct.

Da fuq

classicben3:
Stop acting foolish and stupid at same time your dead brain would have explained my context there as a joke he goat from hell coming here to yarn dust mugu better respect your useless self thier before I put am for your body wotowotopurosly

Is that all ?

You wan sell your phone (we nor know whether na Nokia Torchlight or Trion) you dey ask how much you go sell am. Dash am out na

If you wanted to help, you would have asked and showed him the way instead of attempting to ridicule his ‘naiveness’. We need to do better as a community mehn.

classicben3:
If I give you advice based on mine on way of charging what would be in for me?

What kind of poverty mentality is this ? Something as basic as this and you’re expecting something to be in for you ? Haba

Dude sorry for the circle jerking, especially by people who should be willing to help a newbie.
You should charge depending on your skill set but at the least enough to cover hosting, domain name etc for a year plus about about two weeks of your time. If you’re still developing your portfolio, charge enough to live comfortably within those two weeks and over deliver so you can get referrals.
I would also advise you to use a site builder, they are good for jobs like this where the client is not really tech savvy, plus it’s frees up your time to keep developing your skills.
Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.

obstead200:
At the bolded, yes I will. That anology remains a mockery of the foundation of the Christian doctrine....

You my friend are stupid. Have a blessed day.
Pray to God to improve your logic, while you’re at it get better education today.

Aremson14:
U think its normal to blaspheme a people or u should laugh at it. My God this country is far gone

Look up what blasphemy means, Look up examples of blasphemy in the Bible, Look up examples of blasphemy in the secular world, think about the intention behind the post now look at your reaction ?
Consume contents to expand your knowledge not to get annoyed Abeg.

If the first emotion that you had was anger, and then you associated the image with blasphemy. Then my brother you are long gone. Nigeria’s education and economy has failed you. But you also failed yourself.

obstead200:
I am not a deeply religious person.

But this is definitely blasphemy and an insensitive derogation of the very foundation of the Christian faith. Islam would have spilled blood for this

Honestly the Grammar is not necessary.
APCON is useless and Nigerians for the most part are stupid, taxpayers money is spent on this rubbish and naive gullible people are bringing up irrelevant conjectures.
Would you have the same opinion if a Bakery posted this ?
Read about Charlie Hebdo or other actual cases of humor done in bad taste before flexing irrelevant English and inciting unneeded hate.(FWIW it’s Islamophobia for assuming Islam would spill blood for it)

Mehn we at war with our minds, too many misdirected rage in this country. A flyer you should ordinarily just laugh and forget the bad joke.

Kingosytex:
Why do people quote the old testament to buttress points that favour them but are resort to old things are passed away when it doesn't favour them?

Pastors will tell you that animal sacrifices are no longer necessary because they've passed away, when then are issues like tithe being stressed? Can't that also pass away?

Poor education and or bad reading comprehension, but often times a combination of both.

matm:
Bible was cited because d woman claims to be a chrstain..Even native doctors, Grand masters in the occultic world abhor menstrual blood.There are places a woman seeing her period can't enter.In some cases,
Coming to animal sacrifices, pastors overlook it because Jesus never personally offered any animal as a sacrifice . But in d case of menses, a woman with d issue of blood touched Jesus, and a great power left him says d bible.Dt shows u dt menstrual blood is not an ordinary thing .Hygienically and spiritually, it is unclean.

Any direct unclean connotation was in the Old Testament and if you were to practice it fully, you wouldn’t even be in the same room as a menstruatinf woman. Clearly unpractical.
And the issue of the woman with the flow, this woman had been menstruating for 12 years on end so it wasn’t normal. Hence, the reason Jesus felt it and made a point of it. And the period wasn’t even the subject of that story smh.
It’s obvious you missed that what she essentially said was that don’t use your wife’s period (unclean) for (poorly educated people, or religiously brainwashed people) as an excuse to engage in extramarital affairs and catch aids. You can even wrap up if discharge, safety and hygiene is a problem. And for what it’s worth, period sex could literally be a drop of blood. And this person is also supposed to be your wife.
Dude get off your moral high horse.

pyro62:
He ain't hitting it hard enough. The first photo was before a workout session, the second post was after a workout session. There is no marked difference and 2hours after the second photo, he'll return to the status of the first photo

So many people lack comprehension in this Nigeria sha. Someone made a valid point about how the main difference between the pics is the workout pump and how the physique in the after picture won’t look much different from the before pic 2 hours later. And people are boldly calling him out like he’s wrong .. bringing tattoo, shorts and other non related things up .

Infomaz:
Sex as designed by God is a beautiful and honourable experience within the confines of marriage. Porn pollutes the minds, debases the sanctity of sex in marriage, stimulates masturbation, familiarizes the couple with fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism and even bestiality. What so ever is pure, whatsoever is holy, whatsoever is noble, good, virtuous, ...think on these things.

And an average night/day in Night Clubs doesn't ?
So you spend 100% of your day thinking on noble, good and virtuous things only ?

Bleep outta here man with this hypocritical rubbish

Honeysweetest:
y will a sane legally married couple video themselves having sex?

Coz the both of you could be hot as Bleep and you want to see what you look like while engaging in the activity ?
Coz it's a long distance relationship and they want to spice up the marriage ?
Because they are secure in their sexuality and the security of the clip not to get exposed ?

Being sane, legal, or married has no influence on recording sexual activities.
Recording sex is literally a choice based on your lifestyle or exposure, just like you have people recording their daily lives, activities, workouts etc

If you have the mental capacity of a baby, and you cannot see anything remotely sexually without turning into a feral savage then pornography is a sin, if not then congratulations you are modern human with healthy hormones and good self restraint.
Now addiction to watching porn is a sin (it impacts wellbeing and other things), so with all other addictions.

A sin to me is what negatively affects my faith and the faith of people around me. But honestly sin is very subjective and personal, and your definition of Sin influences how you see it.

A sperm donor watching porn in a clinic to aid ejaculation, is that a sin ?
Newly weds / older mature couple watching porn to spice up their marriages, is that a sin ?
A Russian drinking gin as a mid day pick me up, is that a sin ?

There's no absolute right answer, except the one that works for your faith.

I am in for making this community have willing member(s) as moderator(s). Honestly that's the barest minimum, are there currently any moderators ?

Don’t know if I’m the only one that finds python painful to read

Why’s that ?

https://www.codewars.com/kata/52c31f8e6605bcc646000082/train/python
Write a function that takes an array of numbers (integers for the tests) and a target number. It should find two different items in the array that, when added together, give the target value. The indices of these items should then be returned in a tuple like so: (index1, index2). twoSum [1, 2, 3] 4 === (0, 2)

My initial solution:

def two_sum(numbers, target):
    indexi = 0
    for i in numbers:
        indexi += 1
        indexj = 0
        for j in numbers:
            indexj += 1
            if i + j == target and indexi != indexj:
                indexes = (indexi - 1, indexj - 1)
                break
            else:
                indexes = None
        else:
            continue
        break
    return indexes

No forget to hide ur python from Lala.

Write a function that accepts an array of 10 integers (between 0 and 9), that returns a string of those numbers in the form of a phone number.
create_phone_number([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]) # => returns "(123) 456-7890"

Solution:

def create_phone_number(n):
    new = [str(i) for i in arr]
    bracket = '(' + ''.join(new[:3]) + ')'
    mid = ' ' + ''.join(new[3:6]) + '-'
    end = ''.join(new[6:])
    return bracket + mid + end

Alternate Solution:
This is taking advantage of the fact that the asterick '*' can be used to unpack elements of an iterable as arguments in a function call.

def create_phone_number(n):
    return '({}{}{}) {}{}{}-{}{}{}{}'.format(*n)

In essence, you're still saying that you aren't recruitment.

It’s either you want to fight or you want to take me out to lunch so I can explain better.
But in a decent tech company recruitment is primarily done/scrutinized by experienced developers - they make time to interview you, test for soft skills, recommend you to the HR. They’re the ones who know what they need. So if I have say on a project I would be on the recruitment team. So if you’re trying to imply that am I HR, heck no I am not HR but that doesn’t really apply to the industry we are talking about.

airsaylongcome:
I get the "Nigerian factor" angle where voyeuristic men want to prey on vulnerable females. Happens in all industry, tech or not. And nah I'm not offended or griped. It was supposed to be logical exchange of ideas and experiences which I'm glad I had

Bro not about that o. Did you miss all the policies I mentioned or aren’t you active in the Nigerian tech scene .... most things are female focused so it’s logical recruitment would be. Jeez. And even those things you alluded to .. compared to other industries in Nigeria I would bet it’s less prominent in the tech space ..

BRATISLAVA:
There's no gripe.

You are free to agree with what resonates with you. I agree with him on certain things. I welcome the differing opinion but would have liked to learn more than the emotional submissions my post prompted.

And yes, I was hoping for recruitment to tell us more.

Your adjectives are interesting, interesting coz I was the one that diffused the situation

I didn’t think I had to explain but I don’t need to know the yardstick for recruitment if they’re my colleagues, I’m a labourer I don’t need to know what the recruiter asked if they employ another labourer, I would know their skill level and the average expectations in the position. Replace labourer with any other related position.

airsaylongcome:
Well for one, developers and surgeons are highly skilled positions that have nothing to do with gender. You are either good at it or you aren't. Also surgery is a heavily populated by males. Secondly, I don't get how CS is an "image space". Does anyone tech user care if the software they use was developed by a male? Or female? Granted some businesses will like to "flaunt" the perception that they are an all female team. But the same can be said for a hospital that would like to say their elite surgeons are all females.

Have I had experience with recruiting developers whether male or female? So let me just say I have deployed a number of Applicant Tracking Solutions. And on at least 80% of them, I have had the business request that a filter be set up that filters out any CV that incudes items like gender, date of birth, place of birth, state of origin etc.

It’s fine bro, why I said I don’t see the parallels is that in one field there’s active push for female participants (software companies do major PR to appear female friendly look at the PR when there’s a female C level hire or a female founded firm) in the other there’s no active push, also the health industry is old, established and regulated, you need a licence to practise, the scrutiny in the tech industry isn’t quite the same. I could go on and on, but hope you get the drift ?
And if you followed my spiel, I was talking about the Nigerian space and how decisions when making the final decision are influenced by the various policies in place.
