ProgrammingRe: Association Of Programmers In Nigeria by Xandelle: 12:46pm On Sep 23, 2020

While this is a good idea, I think we should instead focus on creating life changing real world applications which probably could be open source.

Someone could think of something, put it on github and invite us to contribute and we would end up doing something greater than the original author had expected.

You probably must have heard of MIT students and the great products they come up with all day, if we also need to be recognized, we could give the group a name while working on products(web, software, erp, etc) that would help the society(both locally and international) and not just calling ourself an association which will always want to compel the government to do some xyz for us.

Nigerian government won't even respond to you and might even dissolute the forum if they notice we are not in compliance with their self interest standard. However, if we instead do what I mentioned above, they would be infact the ones in search of us before we could go ahead to setup a national organization as mentioned in the post. My 2cent.

FamilyRe: Should I Tell My Dad About My Cheating Stepmom? by Xandelle: 5:39pm On Sep 15, 2020

So, what evidence do you have to report to your Dad now?

All yo u have now is, you met the man one day in your house and he was behaving ‘one kind’ and you stop greeting him and he did not complain and after that, he stop coming to your house....then there is the other heresay from someone else, who observe that they are too close...

Put yourself in your father’s and receiving the above report from a child you have sent to school to at least be educated and become literate, wouldn’t you be disappointed in that child?
No I will not be disappointed in the child. I'll instead ask my wife what another man comes to do in my house when people are gone. You are the one that should be disappointed in yourself.

Hello

This isn’t about this current government.

Sharia Law was introduced into these states during Obasanjo’s tenure. And it has been operational since then.
I recently went through my dad's things, and found a letter sent by someone to my dad in 1978. Amongst other things, he complained of an unjust ruling given to him by a sharia court in Plateau state.

His story is inspiring and coupled with the fact he is a great philanthropist. I believe his background shaped him into being a giver and for him to keep his content hundred percent original despite the white supremacist Hollywood says a lot about consistency. I am glad black people are shaping the globe and promotion the black culture. It puts to light that anything is possible no matter if the system is racist or no.

Have you ever being in a loveless relationship, where you are not even sure of your status, whether you are truly loved or being stringed along? I doubt, because if you were, you wouldnt say all these. My advise to men is to try as much a possible to reassure your women. Yes, we all have our love languages, but trust me, being strict and bottle-necked isn't one. If op had created a peaceful and reassuring atmosphere for that lady, she wouldn't have gone that far.
The juice ain't worth the squeeze. She's not yours, it's just your turn.
ProgrammingRe: Why Do Self Taught Programmers Over Exaggerate by Xandelle: 12:45pm On Jun 28, 2020
A computer scientist is like a pharmacist. While a computer programmer is like a doctor. The pharmacist makes the tools for the doctor to use, while the doctor learns how to use those tools to cure the sick.

The pharmacist does not necessarily have to know how the doctor uses the tools made by him, and I suspect the doctors don't give a hoot about knowing how the pharmacist made those tools.

Note, pharmacy is also a subset of chemistry. Just as computer science is a subset of engineering.

Oh no of cos am not angry.
I came here for responses and I don't mind in what manner it will come.
About the structure, it's about 14sqm and consumed exactly 14bags of cement... I can't remember the ratio exactly but it was a...


1: 3: 3 or 1: 3: 4 or 1: 2: 3 ( I remember I got the ratio on here on NL, accompanied with some good engineering sites)

The wall plastering may have being of poor quality but the under decking plastering was a ratio of 1 bag to 6 or 5 buckets.

Also untop the decking before the water tanks were placed is partially tiled.

Do you think we were still highly economical?

Modified: the water drops don't actually drop on the floor from the ceiling... They just hang there and I noticed that area is the lowest point in the under decking plastering.

It's also good to note this drops are not found anywhere close to underneath the water tank area. They are far away from where the tanks are. The decking underneath the tank area is 1001% completely dry always.
There is a type of cement called water seal... Was it used on the decking? If not, there's another older way water is sealed, by using waterproof materials like tapoline.

WebmastersRe: SEUN: Please Add Highlight Plugin For Webmaster/programmer Section by Xandelle:
Almost 8 years since topic was created. Why not just use css, javascript and html to hardcode it.


Create a css style for the code tag. For example, it should have dark background, and use the Css overflow property. As it is now any code that is longer than the device width gets cropped off.. With the overflow property, it adds a handle to enable the user scroll to the end. If used well you can also include a maxheight so codes can't be taller than a specified height... Any code taller than that, will have to be scrolled up.

code {
color: #eeeeee;
background-color: #aaaaaa;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: auto;
}


Create a css style for the syntax.
.syntax {
color: #00bbff;
font-weight: bold;
}


Create a list of syntax. It's gonna be looooooong (in order to satisfy most languages), but copying and pasting will make things easier.

Make the list into a javascript array, can even be a json object.
var syntax = ['var', 'for', 'foreach']


Now whenever the code tag is used, javascript checks for each word, and if any word is in array list, the word changes to the color, and any other properties you have defined for syntax in your css.

for word in syntax...
Sorry js isn't my strong suit, but php

for each new line, incrementbthebkine number and display the next line number.
I can only do this in php shaa.

All this can also be done completely in php.

You might have done something good for the said niece, but you psychologically grew suspicious looks for yourself before your wife.

Imagine your friend buying G-string for your wife or your colleague buying bra for your 15 years old daughter. How will you feel? It is very wrong to do the right things the wrong way.

And if I may ask, how did you know her boobs and ass sizes before buying her underwears?
He said he took all the kids out shopping! So the girl definitely selected by herself.

ProgrammingBootstrap Is Dropping IE Support by Xandelle(op): 10:23am On Apr 13, 2020
A web framework used by a fifth of all internet websites plans to drop support for Internet Explorer 10 and 11. The move is scheduled for Bootstrap v5, set to be released later this year.

Bootstrap is a user interface (UI) framework initially designed at Twitter and later open-sourced. The library is basically a collection of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript UI widgets.

Bootstrap UI components are designed to provide a starter kit on which web developers can build websites, enterprise, or mobile applications.


The framework gained a near cult-like following in the web development community because of its ease of use, excellent documentation, and because -- unlike many UI frameworks released at the time -- it came with cross-browser support (due to Twitter's initial involvement and the need of the Twitter site to work across all browsers in the same way).

Today, Bootstrap is used by roughly 20.4% of all internet sites, according to W3Techs, and more than 20 million sites, according to BuiltWith.

The decision to drop support for IE 10 and IE 11 was made last month by Bootstrap's maintainers. Mark Otto, one of Bootstrap's creators, said on GitHub that developers who still need to cater to IE users should continue running Bootstrap 4 and not update to the upcoming v5 release.

A big move in the grand scheme of things


However, Bootstrap's move to drop IE is a milestone. None of the major web-dev projects have yet to make a similar decision. For example, jQuery, today's top JavaScript library (used on almost three-quarters of all internet sites), still supports IE 9.

With IE 10 market share under 1% and with IE 11 market share around 1-2%, Bootstrap's decision to drop support will likely be the go-ahead sign from a major project that it's ok for developers to move on from supporting IE for good.

But Bootstrap's move also has side-effects as the framework is also a building block of a myriad of other web dev tools, intranets, and enterprise solutions, which will also automatically lose IE support once they upgrade.


And if Bootstrap's move wasn't significant enough for IE's future in the web-dev scene, the team behind WordPress, a CMS used by a third of all internet sites, is also looking into a "graceful degradation" for handling IE users. Basically, the plans are for WordPress to support IE, but not all of the CMS' features will work as intended.

According to Microsoft, IE 11 is supported until the end of Windows 10, which is currently October 14, 2025. However, IE 11 is not the default browser in Windows anymore since 2015, when Edge replaced IE in Windows 10.

Microsoft primarily supports IE nowadays due to commercial agreements with enterprise clients and focuses all its efforts into Edge. The fact that Microsoft has been treating IE as a second-hand citizen for some years now should have been a sign for developers that it's time to stop supporting IE a long time ago and forcibly move users towards adopting newer browsers.

It's like you're much of an indoor dude. Nothing strange about the number of occupants in keke. Keke driver plus 2 passengers at the front, and 3 passengers at the back is a normal thing in Nigeria.

If they purchase, will they inform you? A lot of big private hospitals like St. Nicholas, EKO hospitals and the likes are very well equipped and patients from other African countries are flown there for treatment. Nothing stops such hospitals from purchasing ventilators from him if they're cheaper and up to standard, even hospitals in neighbouring can purchase. Waiting on government partnership over something you want to sell and make money off is a waste of your time
WOMAN!!! there's statistics and a map of the number of ventilators in the country!!! Stop making arguments based on assumptions!!! angry
