TV/Movies / Re: Purpl3's WWE (and Pro-wrestling in general) Discussion And Banter House by naijasensei: 8:51pm On Jul 22, 2021 |

100naira: Hurricane was actually way over with the fans, after the work he did with the Rock. Funny enough Hurricane's gimmick was not his idea, but he tried his best to make it work. If you haven't, try watching his feud with the Rock - both of them actually improvised for those segments, something many wrestlers on today's roster cannot dream of doing. To make a superhero gimmick work, that wrestler has to be put over by someone else who is way over. |
TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by naijasensei: 4:10pm On Jul 22, 2021 |
Skseries: Warning, long post ahead! I completely disagree with you. MOS was Zack Snyder's vision, yes; but BVS, and JL were foisted on him. Is Zack Snyder a perfect director? No, he isn't. WB are the villains here. WB forcefully inserted Batman into a Superman movie (BVS) which was originally supposed to have Brainiac as the main antagonist. Why? Because of the success of Nolan's trilogy. The higher ups, the executives, at WB are really hopeless. Their original plan for Batman in BVS was that Batman would go on a murdering spree, "because he's Batman", what a bunch of misguided loons. Of course the director, and the script writers didn't agreed to such a dumb plot. Then they went a cutting, "the movie is too long, cut out significant bits". It became a convoluted mess, WB wanted to squeeze in "The Death of Superman", and "The Dark Knight" (written by Frank Miller) into a movie less than two and a half hours long - fat chance. If you want to have a grasp of how these movies were supposed to play out, check out WB Animation - who are surprisingly free from the idiotic influence of the execs on live action movies. The real disappointment was the way WB handled the Justice League movie, it was a travesty. And yes, when it tanked they put all the blame on Zack Snyder. This was a man who just lost his daughter, there was no sympathy, no understanding from WB. They were too eager to get rid of Zack Snyder, so they could bring in the egotistical Joss Whedon. The Justice League movie that came out in the theatres was an insult, and a monumental disgrace. Joss Whedon was so full of himself that he wasted time and money reshooting many already perfect scenes in the movie - then there was the infamous moustache gate. Joss Whedon even threatened some of the actors on set, when those actors were not too fond of some of the unnecessarily sexist jokes he inserted in the movie. Then he cut out almost all the non Caucasian actors from the movie, just to satisfy his ego. Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming everything on Joss Whedon because he was used by WB to execute their agenda against Zack Snyder. Problem is Joss Whedon enjoyed destroying that movie. If not for the "toxic Snyder fans" who demanded for the release of the original Snyder cut, no one would have known it existed. WB denied it stoutly for years, but they were forced to release it because they didn't have content they could easily use for HBO Max. WB released it to make money, not because they were sorry, and certainly not because they loved their fans. Compared to "Josstice League", Zack Snyder's version was a thousand times better. If you watch Josstice League, you can easily see the disinterest in Ben Affleck, the non importance of both Flash and Cyborg, the absence of Darkseid, and the utterly ridiculous humanised version of Stephen Wolf. The fact that WB executives greenlighted Whedon's version reveals the type of people they are. Granted four (4) hours might not work in a theatre, but there are creative solutions to that (cutting some of the slow motion scenes, or dividing the whole movie into two parts). Please stop trying to put people inside boxes - it is wrong. Every director is different. Zack Snyder's style is desaturated colours, slow motion, and big battles - stop trying to turn him into Christopher Nolan. Funny enough, when Christopher Nolan watched Josstice League, he was so sad that he forbade Zack Snyder from ever watching it. Nolan knew it would have pained Snyder to see his project reduced to a mere parody. If you want to see more evidence of WB's meddling, take a look at the Mortal Kombat movie. The best parts of the movie were cut out - because "it was too long", but some irrelevant parts were left intact. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

There are too many rascals and riff-raffs here, they are so shallow and they always resort to insults whenever you don't agree with their shallow reasoning. The fact that someone speaks confidently about something doesn't make that person an expert - most especially if the person is rude and condescending. Happy coding. |

Programming / Re: How To Arrange School Broadsheet Sheet From Mysql Tables by naijasensei: 5:59pm On Jul 05, 2021 |
goldmines214: Excellent! As I said, first fetch the subject names and subject IDs from the subjects table. Store this data in an iterable object - like an array (associative array, or hash map). Now, write a query to fetch the data (from a specific class, term, and session) from the broadsheet table, and use a RIGHT JOIN to join the students table, then use GROUP BY to group the results by student_id. You will now have a data set that contains the students with their respective subject scores. You can now iterate through the data by using the student_id parameter. You can build your table like this:
This is pseudo code, but this is how it can work. Others might have different solutions though. 1 Like |

goldmines214: Hi. I believe what you want is the final table diagram you drew. Here is how you can do it. 1. Your broadsheet table is linked to some other tables, and to get those field values from the other tables - you will need to use a JOIN . You would probably use a LEFT JOIN, or a RIGHT JOIN. 2. Now you would want a situation where all the students, and all the subjects will appear on your HTML table regardless of whether they have scores or not. To achieve this, I would first run a query on the subjects table to get the subject names and their IDs. I would then store this is an associative array. With this I have the data to generate my table headers. Digest this and let me know if you understand this. We can then proceed to the next stage. |
Phones / Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by naijasensei: 6:00pm On Jun 01, 2021 |
Emjace: The last Android phone I used before I started using Xiaomi again was a Lenovo. The Lenovo was cheap, it was powerful enough, and it was fun to use; but the phone's Achilles heel was the bland "almost" stock Android experience. The phone's Android skin had zero customisability, coupled with Lenovo's abhorrence of updates. MIUI isn't perfect, but it is way better than stock Android "jail". 8 Likes |

Warning, long post ahead! atheistandproud: This is one of the best comments I have read on this matter. If you are having serious doubts about a purchase, please do not make that purchase. As a wise man once told me - if you have decided to have problems and issues, the problems will definitely arrive in full force. genius43: atheistandproud: Many people don't understand, or even appreciate the priceless value of this thread. I am 100% sure that even if Xiaomi HQ employed staff to attend to customers and provide support the way our fantastic people are doing here - they wouldn't be able to do up to 20% of what is been done here. Pardon me for this, but many fools and morons still find it hard to believe that this thread is completely organic and no one is getting paid for the awesome advice that is being dished out daily. Please, in the name of all that is good, responsible, kind, and holy, perform your own research before buying any device - it is the very least you can do. If you don't buy a Xiaomi device, heaven will not fall, and I will not go into depression. Apologies again, but no one owes anyone anything on this thread - we are just enthusiasts. Thread with caution, and respect. Thanks. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Gaming / Re: Why Does My Pc Game Lag When I Connect It To My Tv With HDMI cord? by naijasensei: 1:45pm On Apr 21, 2021 |
LOSKYXANDER: There are several things you have to consider. 1. Resolution and refresh rate. Make sure the TV can keep up with the output from your PC. If your PC is rendering games at over 60fps and your PC tops out at 30fps, the experience will not be too good. Also, if your PC is running games at 1080p, and your TV can only support upto 720p - it won't look good. 2. Make sure the HDMI cable you are using is cable of supplying good signals (display port cable is a good alternative to HDMI). 3. Check your TV's response time, is it fast enough? PC monitors have fast response times compared to TVs, so a TV with a slow response time can have laggy pictures. For issues 1, and 3 - check your TV to see if it has a "Gaming Mode", which can help in alleviating these issues. Edit: I see you have found a solution. |
Technology Market / Re: Fraud Alert. Please Return My Money Pointstores And Solar Vision by naijasensei: 2:37pm On Apr 18, 2021 |
pointstores: I saw where you asked him those questions, and his response. I am guessing he did not really understand your reason for asking. Another thing people don't understand is that when some appliances start up (things that are inductive or capacitive; freezers, pumping machines, blenders, fans, etc) they consume more than their rated power. The power ratings are actually a rough guide, an estimate. Just take this incident as a learning experience. |

pointstores: Hi, may I make a little suggestion to you? Before collecting money, try as much as possible to inform your customers that an inverter system can never run at full load. This is very important because you are building the system for them. Tell them to tell you exactly what their load profile is, without this it would be dangerous to proceed with such a transaction. From the comments, you can clearly see people don't understand this concept. It is a little known fact that operating an inverter close to 100% load is detrimental to its batteries. Your customer was simply misinformed. Summary, tldr; painstakingly explain everything before collecting money from the client. 5 Likes |

Computers / Re: Technical Assistance Needed, Please! by naijasensei: 4:19pm On Feb 15, 2021 |
zealousayo: Hi. Your device is overheating because it is not being cooled properly. There are two likely causes I can think of: 1. Do you use the laptop on a bed, mattress, clothes, or similar surface. If you do, please stop this practice immediately. Using a laptop on such surfaces blocks the air vents underneath the laptop, causing said laptop to heat up. 2. The cooling system (the CPU heatsink, and the CPU fan) in your laptop is not working effectively. This can be caused by dust build-up, a dead CPU fan, or improperly applied thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU. 1 Like |

MackyNaija: Hi there. I am by no means a Python expert, but I do know numPy and Pandas are useful for data manipulation - data science, data analysis, and other such fields. You will definitely need high level skills later, because learning never ends. As you get better, newer methods and technologies will definitely beckon to you. Just nail down the basics, and build on that foundation. |

syluck: Hi, good to see you are making progress. However, you are "hardcoding" the two numbers and their respective products. I can think of one way to make the program use random numbers: - Create a list of numbers, probably from 1 to 12. - Start your for loop - Randomly select two numbers from the list, then assign each number to a variable. - Use the variables to form your question during each pass through the loop. - Evaluate the answer supplied by the user - End your loop after 10 iterations. Try this approach, and do not hesitate to ask questions. 1 Like |

There are sometimes when the UI might get unexpectedly stuck, and you might have no other choice but to use the CLI. Also, DO is mainly an unmanaged IaaS provider, so you are expected to know your way around. |
