Tsfari: Hello friends, if someone wants delve into programming starting with basics say HTML and progressing, which Laptop will be the best suited: MacBook Air 2017 or Hp Elitebook 840 G3?
I would also appreciate an explanation of why. Thanks Programmers use the pro variants of the Apple laptops and not the air. Get a good 15 inch MacBook Pro, say a 2015. The smaller screen estate of an Air would be limiting when you want to have your IDE and simulation display side by side. Dont listen to those who are condemning the Macbook Pro. If you are ever going to write codes for the the Apple ecosystem, you would need a MacBook Pro, even if it is one single line of code. You are new. How would you know you wont be fascinated by Apple’s Swift UI when you dont even have a laptop that can install XCode? Even if you decide to go cross platform, guess what? You need a MacBook to configure the Apple side of the apps. There is a reason why serious coders worldwide own MacBooks even if they own 10 other systems. Most of the people who condemn MBPs are clearly not owners of a MBP. They look at it from afar and sneer at the owner. ‘Na yahoo boy’. You would be working long hours on your computer for the next 3 years (budget at least 1,000 hours). You need a laptop with a good screen. The retina screen on the 2013 and above MBPs is the best in class, guaranteed. Most other manufacturers cheapen out on the screens. They use cheap panels. Some are just 768 pixels on the vertical and struggle to get to 1080p. 2015 MBP gives you 2880 x 1800 at 220ppi. Good luck finding another manufacturer that will give you that within your budget. In addition, the fit and finish of a MBP is the best. Every manufacturer tries to build to MBP specs. Not the other way round. The speakers on the MBP will also burst your nipples. You will need to watch YouTube videos. Many other laptops with their cheap speakers have poor sound outputs. Listen to clean perfect sounds on the MBP. If you can afford a MBP, get a MBP. |

KingLander: Ever since i started learning forex, i have been under constant cyber attacks from an anonymous person. I have suspects but i cannot decide and accuse people without evidence. It all started around October last year, they call me, but before i pick, i make sure my data is off. When I pick the call, they wont say anything. I sent them a warning text message never to call me again without saying anything. They stopped that method, the following week, they started bombarding my two phones with MMS messages. A week before election was when they finally gained access to my phone when i clicked a message from MTNN about an election poll asking me to predict the 2023 election winner, 3 pictures of Tinubu, Obi and Atiku were downloaded without their files visible in my file manager. After almost 2 months without my knowledge, I reset my phone to factory settings the day i heard my phone taking screenshots. That same day, a number called my personal company's line which i dont use to call people, only colleagues. My phone had been hacked before through a phone call when i picked a call from a number i dont have in my contact list and my data was on. Maybe the hacker was trying to gain access again through phone calls. I think Iam being tracked by a sophisticated hacker or a government body for always looking at my phone. What should i do? How can i track the hacker. Sell your android phone. Buy a good iPhone. Back up your contacts then migrate them to the new iPhone. Don’t call back foreign numbers that flash you. Dont download all those funny name apps. Dont jailbreak your phone. Dont borrow from loan apps. Dont even have their apps on your phone. Don’t download funny name apps. Dont use GBWhatsapp. Start afresh. |
Education › Re: It Took Me 13 Years To Build Fuelless Generator – Nigerian Graduate by truthCoder: 5:03am On May 06, 2023 |
Akinomoakin021: Oyekunle Ayansola, a graduate of Interlink Polytechnic, Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State, said it took him 13 years to build an eco-friendly generator so everyone could have a steady power supply.
He said his invention was spurred by his parent’s broken marriage 13 years ago and the economic hardship that followed.
According to him, the challenges he faced made him look for innovative ways to improve his life, impact his community, and end poverty.
He said he would like to mass-produce it so that everyone could have it at home as it would make life much easier for the people.
Ayansola said he made the eco-friendly generator with scrap metals. Education has really suffered in Nigeria. Basic secondary school science, yet some people still believe this. No wonder we are the most religious. |

I just came up on that thread and I figured him for a legit seeker, until I came about your replies to him.
I’m just simply Wowed!
I respect your experience, knowledge base and invaluable insight into the working of this murky tech industry in Nigeria. Also, Bloomsbury and a host of others. I hail you guys!
If you haven’t made that thread to warn others about the dangers of falling into the cunning traps of hawks disguised as VC reps, please kindly do as it would help a lot of founders and coders. I’m very wary of tech vampires too; those who have no coding nor entrepreneurial skillsets but have mastered the craft of beguiling the unsuspecting into divulging ideas only to go pitch it to potential funders, comes back to hire you to build your very own thing. A lot of them exist as well in alluring variety.
I just emailed you on Proton.
Kindly response. Thanks so much. I didn’t get the email truthcoder at protonmail dot com |

Somamezee: The purpose of the age requirement is for easier work collaboration; and as for the salary, when contacted for a chat/interview the team will tell you that budget which is within the obtainable market value, But there's a possibility of budget adjustment by the client to suit the talent's needs but now imagine putting a range and using it to chase the potential talent away. In tech, age does not matter. If you are afraid of calling your employees brother buhari, you can have a company wide policy of everyone by first name or preferred nickname. Don’t use age to push away good hires or make it a factor that limits you to employing from a small pool. I wish you the best in your startup. |

Redoilbeta: Hello, Does ones Personal Decision being an Atheist, Free thinker / Humanist Warrants family and Friends Withdrawing there Assistance / Help and Supports?
They said, I stopped believing in the god that Provides for them to assist me,then I should go and seek help from atheistism I Practised now.
I Practiced Christianity before, Now I'm an Atheist. Pls. The reason I Changed to be an Atheist is not the main reason for this thread. I'm not the first and I'm not going to be the last, It happens. reasons best known to Individuals.
There are situations Atheists turned to Christians, Muslims,... Muslims Converts to Christianity. Christians Changed to Muslims, Babalawo/ Ogboni Fraters Becomes a Strong Evangelist / Pastors.. Everyone with his Personal Reasons. Not on here to Judge.
My Questions is that why must family and friends became so Annoyed, took it Personal To withdraw all there Help, Sack Me from Work,insults,Bully me.
Where are the Atheist in this Forum Pls. I need your Encouragement and Words. My advice is this: Your personal convictions are personal especially when you have dependencies. Believers are known to be an irrational lot. They believe in stories and are hurt when you try to let them know their stories have no basis. So what you should have done is keep your views to yourself or within those you can really trust until you become fully independent of them. Now , if you really depend on their help, what you can do to salvage this is a form of deception. Act like you have realized your mistakes, go back to becoming a believer and get them all into play. The more you can act like RMD, the better. They will be more than happy to start helping again. Afterall, they are believers and they would believe anything. If you don’t really depend on them, they can keep their help and you move on. A life lesson is this: in real life, never rub it onto others matters of religion. They might hold a lifelong grudge against you that you might not know exists until you need them. Keep your religious views to your self and conform to your societal views. It is a survival strategy |
Family › Re: My Ex Run Away With My 2 Kids Since 2019 Please Help by truthCoder: 12:38am On May 05, 2023 |
sonjohn994: Hello Everyone, Please I need your help, I have been having been depressed and Hypertensive all because of this issue. Please I will appreciate if I can get help from here before I die in silent .
My Ex wife packed out 2019 when we hard misunderstanding and she took my 2 kids with her, since then have not set my eyes on them. We talked on phone for some time while I kept begging her to give me the opportunity to at least contribute to their upbringing of my children. But to my greatest surprise all her family disagreed and asked her to relocate and change number. All the family that I have their numbers did the same by changing their lines too. I have not been a happy man since then.
Please I will appreciate if anyone can link me up to any organization that can help me. The last family I spoke to did not change line, She only blocked me and she is the one I have been sending money to until I requested to see them. She said if I cant stop asking to see them I should stop sending the money . and i have to stop sending money into her account.
Please Nairalander Help a Brother.my Investigation trace them to IBAFO. The woman owns a school around the area and they attend her school. Please anyone that can help to link me to right Authority should pls help.
Thank you and God bless For her family and everyone to want to avoid you, you must be a very bad person. You didn’t say what you did to make her leave. You just said ‘a disagreement’. Did you beat her to stupor? In her whole family, there is no single person who can vouch for you? They all had to change details all just to avoid you? You must be a very dangerous fellow. If she felt safe around you, there is no need for relocation even if you separate. Her safety is why she has chosen to sacrifice her known life for an unknown one all because of your potential propensity to something that she is afraid of. You have been out of their life for 4 years and now you want to come back in? Just so you know, there is a special department in the Nigeria Police manned by women who hate men. It is called the domestic violence unit. If she reports you to that unit and there is evidence to prove that you are stalking her to cause harm, your bread don carry butter from bakery be dat.

Bloomsbury: Thanks for all your input. Am not trying to compete anyone here whether doordash or heaven dash. Like I said I wanted to maximize my best time studying at Georgia Tech. I don't have hopes of it being a billion dollars idea. Am not planning on raising VC funds for it at all. All am looking for if it can be a profitable idea I can be using to make passive income while studying, and something I can graduate and keep working on and sponsor myself as for H1B.
My goal is to build, make passive income till I graduate and sell the company on Microacquire, simple!!!
The startup I will be working on to possibly be a billion dollar Company is an AI bypasser similar to Conch ai Denigrating established competition wont help you. One of the key requirements of a business is the SWOT analysis. You must identify your threats to business and understand how to mitigate them. Being heady is not a solution. If you are not looking for VCs, then you hopefully have enough funds to legally register, insure, promote and manage the proposed business in USA. |

Have you used AI in code analysis, reviews and maintenance before? Have you seen real life code issues on production codebase before (like say an attack ) and been part of the team that resolved it? Have you written testable codes before? Have you tested codes before? Have you been part of a devops team before? Finally, will you as a CTO guarantee that your codebase is in safe hands with an AI and thus sack your whole tech team? |

Domainer1999: cc Tensazangetsu20, truthcoder, Do you remember the four-figure table in secondary school? That’s AI. Tractors didn’t replace farmers. The calculator did not replace math professors. Tools dont replace their users. They only make their user’s life better if the user is ready to adapt to the dynamics. AI has made me a better programmer by being an assistive tool. I start every new project by giving it a brief and asking for its own view of the structure. We iterate over the structure together and in few minutes i have a starting plan. If my employer decides to use AI to code by himself, i wish him luck. The only farmers that tractors took out of employment were the ones who insisted that technology is bad and stuck to the old means. |

airsaylongcome: This is a formidable task o. The mobile app isn't the only part that you need to think about. There server infrastructure for something like this is going to cost a very tidy sum. I know one person who tried this using the entire Signal app codebase. It is damned expensive Signal is decentralized and unnecessary. There are three main considerations: Database: Three DBs recommended. First is a redis cache for current messages. Messages that have been delivered to the recipient’s device are moved to a low latency, affordable and document based DB like MongoDB, Firestore and Amazon’s document DB. User immutable data are stored in a separate cheaper archive DB. All DBs are synced together to make retrievals seamless. For backups, we simply use the Google drive API. Compute: message encryption and decryption is resource heavy. I would suggest using the user’s device for this instead of handling it from the server side. Its even a good selling point. Webhooks: This is critical for instant app states (typing, delivered, read etc). The alternative of using timeout is extremely expensive, a sign of inexperience and not worthwhile. Good webhooks integration with a lean state manager. With these 3 sorted, it can be built cheaply. If the OP has at least $1000 for my fees, he can DM. i will deliver an app close to WhatsApp with a backend on AWS or GCP for easy scalability. If the OP is the generic ‘i have N50,000’ that abound on Nairaland, he can take my free points and look for someone who will build it for him. |

YoungCabal: Yeah, it was a temporal design, the main features were actually distinct. Seun blocked me on nairaland when I posted the link under his tweet, he later unblocked me though. Aside that, the new horizontal line added in between the featured links on nairaland frontpage was inspired by the new nairaland clone I built.
I don't think someone who just completed html and css training, can build both the frontend and backend alone like I did, you seem to be forgetting nairaland has a backend ?
I have built a theme of the same nairaland clone and a featured links mod for the simple machine forum software and sold in the past years, I later built the last one from scratch just to have total control over the underlying API.
I'm currently building something else, maybe I'll get to share it here when I'm done hahaha What i meant was that a lot of nairalanders who just learnt HTML have tried to replicate Nairaland in the past. Many of their site ashes are still littered in different posts here and there. My feedback on your project was on the colors. I liked the black background and not the neon green fonts. Looking forward to the new project. |
