Not a Chelsea fan.... But let's be objective! That was a terribly poor officiating.

You are a chelsea fan or someone who desperately want Spuds to loose.

For the Havertz tackle, there was a touch and and it was for the linesman to spot it because he was closer and he judged it a fair tackle. By the way, there was 44 seconds between that tackle and the goal, where were chelsea players?

For Cucurella hair pull, it was reviewed on VAR and hows that the ref's fault. Besides its in their box so its not like there will be a PK.

Chelsea played better but spuds have stronger mentality and your coach made unnecessary show out of non issues.

Cry babies. na this same match wey I watch?

Who is the other man sef?

Very annoying character!

I am sure Atiku will perform moderately.

I am only interested in EscoBatinho!

So we still have Igbos that will vote Tinubu....wonderful! Jagaban is laughing right now, even bad publicity can be good as long as it gets people talking. The guy dominates the headlines week in week out, instead make una spend the energy promoting Obi, una dey waste time scrutinize a man whose followers do not give a flip about anything contradictory.

If we didn't place so much importance on religion and ethnic sentiments, would there be any need of renting priests or whatever? Make una accept the truth, Nigerians no want truth, we want packaging, we want politicians to tell us what we want to hear even when our eyes and guts dey tell us say mbah! Bunch of hypocrites, Jagaban go soon go rent pope, shebi una head no correct ni

LOL. You mean people who are cashing out?

Like portable collected money and said he wont vote APC?

Hello everyone here I want u to b careful of the telegram fixed match scammer named @DAVIDFIXED4455

He agreed to send me fixed game for 6k n after he received d credit alert he deleted all chats n blocked me

The receipts n chats re below

You are both foolish and greedy.

Very bad combination I must say.

If someone knows how to get fixed matches, he will borrow money and play it himself.

hello guys, i am having some issues using cuRL

there is this API i am calling from a site using cURL. the requests gets to my page successfully, however it stops the CSS on my page from working.

Has anyone experienced this before and how where you able to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Why not create a blank page,
Enable error reporting,
then run your curl on the page and var_dump, echo or print out the api response on that page.

Ezigbonmadu:
Many of the CEO's explanations don't add up. And that is shocking because he is expected to know how his company operates more than anybody else.

He said his company provide 4G internet on their platform. This is ridiculous beyond explanation. You can only have 4G/LTE internet services from wireless broadbands and not from satellites. Other wireless protocols are WiMAX, WiFi, GPRS, 3.5/3.0G. While satellite bands are ku and c bands (and their derivatives). I'm a Communication Engineer. TSTv claiming to provide 4G on a satellite platform is impossible and ridiculous. Except there will be SIM cards on their devices. This is exactly what I suspect because he mentioned 2 things:

1. That their decoder is Android.
2. That the device doubles as a router.

[b]Essentially what they will offer is a smart phone in a big box. They will depend on your local GSM coverage and data for their data uplinks while downlinks are handled by their satellite feed.

[/b]My conclusion:
1. Their data speed will be terrible. Hence people buying the device just for data will be frustrated.
2. They are just a third party service provider. They don't have their own satellite feeds. They will also resell internet from main one (according to Dr Bright, their CEO). Thus, as resellers, they can't control or guarantee quality.

My verdict:
Just hold on. Let your neighbours buy and use it for at least two months before you put your money on it. Hopefully all questions will be answered by then.

(Okay. They say it's just 5k and It's not worth this technical advise)

Mr. Communications engineer are you aware that 4G and 3G can be backhauled via satellite?
Again,
As a mobile GSM opearator why would I offer a third party my infrastructure to use my platform to resell my data as cheap or even cheaper than what I sell to my customers.
Finally, if I am stupid enough to do that, why will Tstv be so foolish not to use it for both uplink and downlink but use it for uplink alone and then downlink separately on another infrastructure.

If you have doubts its normal. I do have some questions myself but trying to show yourself unnecessarily on nairaland is always a stupid thing to do.

Zombies don't understand that kind of thing.
Sorry.

Inspectahdeck:
Nigerian youths should stop this rubbish. This is why they take us for a fool.

A suspect goes to court etc. with his or her supporters singing and dancing in the sun just for 5k or so.

The cause or reason why these youths are jobless enough to dance on the street instead of at work is mr Victor umeh and the remaining political leaders be it apc or pdp etc.

A revolution is happening in the country and people act like they don't know.
1) kidnap of rich kids from school etc.
2) kidnap of rich people from their houses, parties etc.
3) domestic workers attack their bosses etc.

People drive cars worth 10-50m, live flamboyant life and pay their domestic workers 10k. We need to be careful.

The people on those pictures are no supporters. If another politician comes there with different placards and up the money Victor Umeh paid them, they will carry the new placard and desert him.

Common Ostrich you dont know

That thing is an Algerian Pigeon. Which Kain school una de go these days sef

DonBobes:


thats an AK47 or AK84 as d case may b!

First, There isn't a make called AK 84. What you might naively refer to as AK 84 is simply the Chinese built variant of AK 47 called Norinco and the type is 5.56..
NA army mainly use the Russian AK 47 and FN riffles. Also some special forces Tavors.

The gun on those bikers are no AK nor Tavors.

This is pure propaganda. The gun carried by the riders on that picture is not a standard NA issued.

It's shame what people have turned governance to shaa.

I am not a Pentecostal Christian but it is obvious that these laws are targeted towards Christian Pentecostalism. Some people might be rejoicing that at least noise pollution by both Christians and Moslems will be gone but if you read in between the lines, there is trouble written all over this new laws.The noise pollution part is the dummy part to mask the real intentions of that law.
Banning listening or watching of religious media outside church is a basic breach of fundamental right of freedom of worship. "Preachers" having to face screening committee and obtain license before performing another fundamental human right is outrageous. So if TD Jakes for example is coming to Kaduna, he will have to come like a week earlier and be screened before being able to preach?
Again no use of microphone after 8pm who do you think that is for? So no mic in vigils and night crusades.
Let me see if the so called human rights lawyers and Kaduna will just sit back watch this happen.
Politicians are problem of this country. If they allow this to hold, soon other northern states will follow suit and may be some southern ones will make their revenge laws and the anarchy continues.

ellacute45:
Viviangist such a chronic lier that ministry is managed by a rev father and held every Wednesday and today is Thursday you just wanna twist the story abi I remember going there sometimes when I was in Nigeria Viviangist get your facts right...that ministry is in umuoji enugu!!!Viviangist ehhh you sef dey too investigative journalism

So Umuoji is now in Enugu? And you even claimed to have been there? You guys should not just jump into issues you know nothing about.

Chigold101:
i still dont know where Willie got all the money he is spending for image making from.
If you pass through Owerri road and see heeps of sand that Willie cleaners are throwing inside that big gutter u marvel.
You will be shocked to see the level of dirt packed at down flyover in front of Relief mkt & shoe site.
You will cry if use your eyes the the piramid of dirt at Ochanja market near where they sell fowl.
God! If i start to mention them you will faint.
You mentioned bridge head... Choi! The smell that comes from its unclean gutter can even kill a new born baby.

Willie should be “wearly“ of all this his media propaganda. Because if you follow New Cemetary towards MCC you will shout blood of goat if you how that place is been messed up by Willie‘s people.

The worst is that they have abandoned us to our fate after collecting money from us, they dont come to collect refuse from our houses anymore (since last year).
Willie is a FAILED GOVERNOR. He is not all round bad anyway but his bad side is more than his good side.

Where would one start to talk about Willie‘s insensitiveness to the plight of Ndi Anambra. Go to MCC and see how Willie is endangering the lives of million who cross from Awada to MCC or from MCC to Awada. Those Willie came and removed the crossing bridge even when they know that they are not yet through with the foot bridge. This single foot bridge has been under construction for the past 2years.

WILLIE HAS DISAPOINTED NDI ANAMBRA....

NO AMOUNT OF MEDIA PROPAGANDA CAN GIVE HIM A SECOND TERM AS A GOVERNOR OF THIS GREAT STATE...

PROUDLY ANAMBRARIAN...

For once I take pride in calling you an IPOB charlatan.
I always itch to call you guys out just that some people who use that word on anyone that doesn't agree with apc propaganda might think I am one of them.
Please you guys should take your IPOB agenda to some other state. As for Willy and right thinking anambrarians, we reject IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and everything you guys stand for. Willy doesn't care what you guys think of him, he will keep getting awards and will be duely re-elected.

Willy is working!

She might be disabled (check out that left hand and who knows what the long skirt is covering) but she is still pretty.

My virtual server is working perfectly. It is the online server that has this issue.

Which hosting plan did you pay for? Linux or Windows or both?
Also, even if you didn't create .htaccess file yourself, make sure none exist there.

So if a group of his followers organise themselves and tag it Igbo group the press will start granting them audience.
Are you sure they mean Igbo as in the tribe or just his fellow Igbo smokers.

I f anyone should beg on behalf of that guy, let the courts condemn the person join.

idiots!

directonpc:

NL doesn't scan every username in your post body when you submit. It selects posts with your username in them... Bla bla bla. With as low as 7000 naira I can code nl prototype mention system for anybody that might be interested in it.

You still don't get what is being debated and as usual you jumped in to advertise your Android app and 7000 naira coding skills.
Read the OP again.

Good luck with that.

directonpc:

I guess I saved the say! It showed only 1 mention.
So we can agree with that guy's answer.

In other stories you can try this social android app I developed. http://7rl.in/png12

No it didn't. Have you been reading my posts?
What your little experiment resolved is the number of mentions notifications count to display and NOT how or when they are displayed.

OP your basic mistake if not intended is to assume that those Igbo guys you mentioned got what they didn't deserve.
No state or federal government policy has ever been created to "give" Igbo people anything because they are igbos. This also applies to every other ethnicities in the country.

Are you sure nairaland notifies you of 2 mentions when you name appears twice in a single post?

Actually I am not certain of that.

First,
if($_POST['addy']="" || should be
if($_POST['addy']=="" ||

You missed one equals sign.

Then I don't know if you actually named your database table columns with spaces in them for eg: "Age Bracket".
If you did, that's bad. Change it ASAP.

A nice approach @0luwatope. However, your query won't get the correct number of mentions because it is counting table rows and not actual number of mentions that exist within posts. One row can contain more than one mention you know?
That aside, we are still talking about realtime notifications. The much I can follow your script is concerned about looking for mentions during log in. That won't do it for a realtime approach.

Sorry for the late reply, i have not been on nairaland this days

During optimization of web apps, two things are brought up : scalabilty and speed. Adding servers is scalability solution while reducing HTTP requests, aggressively caching assets, optimizing db queries are examples of solving speed issues.

Lets talk scaling.

Nairaland clearly does not have problems with scaling if it runs a check against 1.4 million rows in the db with every posted stuff and there's a lot of folks posting at the same time.

How do i know that ?

Take for instance, i post only two words "igir derrf". Those words are definitely not mentions for users but nairaland still checks against 1.4 million records(according to what we concluded on the other thread).No, not once but depending on the length of the post, so if we have a 100 word post, there would be a check for each of the words against 1.4 million records.... Holy cow, that is an unneccessary db trip.

Which brings us to the other issue ; SPEED . The above tells us something, that which is Nairaland doesn't have scalability problems but SPEED issues, like the site could be faster if it HITS THE DATABASE ONLY WHEN IT NEEDS TO. That said, the site is pretty much fast but i am trying to make a point here.

The low hanging fruit here is optimizing database queries. From the previous example, the trip to the database would never be made if there was an identifier or token for mentions - like the ubiquitous @ -, yes they would need regex to check and other stuffs but that, to me sounds a better idea than going to the database everytime a post is made.

If more servers are added, the site would get faster like, computers like crazy work but should that have been the solution ? .

So to answer your question, what should they do if not get an extra server ?

They should fix their code architecture, the current model of doing the "mentions" stuff - if our guesses are correct - is to fix the sloppy architecture behind the feature. It is sloppy since most of the time we get mentions for stuffs that aren't supposed to be mentions (you get that right ? ). Example, you have the word "crazy" in your username. It is pretty much common to find posts like ; That guy is crazy, the song is banging crazy or others along that line. Believe me you, the guy with crazy in his username would find his way down to that thread. Was he mentioned ? hell no.

Mentions don't and should not work in such a weird way.

Oga tanx for all the beautiful scalability lectures. I quite appreciate.

You however still failed to tell me "what", in clear code terms, that "you" will throw at this problem of "realtime" mentions notifications.

If the notifications doesn't have to come in realtime, there are at least one other solution on my mind but in this scenario, I am out of ideas.

They will come out tomorrow and challenge you to bring proof of corruption against them.
That's because they steal so brazenly with official backing.
