Please post the name of the company here. These people usually use silence as a way to further oppress others.

Does anybody know a very good BMW mechanic in Abuja? I want to replace my e92 M3's rod bearings, throttle body actuators, and idle control valve all at once.

Thanks.

I am looking for a manual e30, Ideally one of 320, 325, or 325i. I'd prefer a model before 1988, but that's not a deal breaker. I'd like it to be in good condition. Thanks.

Programming / Re: What Is Your Favorite Language For Numerical Analysis & Scientific Computation? by neightman: 4:47pm On Aug 11, 2016
Javanian:
Fortran: Anyone who thinks FORTRAN is some ancient archaic language is speaking out of nothing but sheer ignorance. Lauded by many as the numero uno of Programming Languages in Scientific Computation combined with its amazing speed (the fastest high level language), It seats on my number one spot in computational science. It's easy to learn, use and its imperative structure and enables fast prototyping coupled with support for arrays, modular programming and generic programming, object-oriented programming and concurrent programming.

It is used in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics and computational chemistry. (wikipedia)

Cons: Poor File I/O support.

Python: With the numpy library, ipython interactive shell and SciPy Library, Python is preferred by many in area of scientific computation. Its rise in fame over the past decade coupled with its legacy to put code readability over every other thing, it has been tipped by many to lead the trail in scientific computation in a decade from now.

Cons: Slow for time critical tasks, Most people use it for prototyping and implement code in Fortran or C.

C: Has numerous libraries for Scientific Computation. Its speed and power has made it the preferred choice in actual code implementation.

Cons: It's a low level language, makes fast prototyping difficult.

MATLAB: Preferred by scientist who don't have a solid programming background because of its interactive environment and visualization and easy to learn nature. Developed by a Numerical analyst and its fame in academia makes it a much preferred choice to use.

Cons: Slow, most of the critical parts are eventually written partly or entirely in C and Fortran.

The order is totally my opinion, feel free to disagree or/and add yours.

You also have Haskell, Scala, and Julia.
Programming / Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by neightman: 2:48pm On Aug 10, 2016
I believe Python is an ideal language to learn how to code in, and when you get it, you can still build advanced programs with it, because it is a very matured language. It is free, has a great and helpful community (for the inevitable time when you get stuck), and has libraries for just about anything in the world (Biology, Astronomy, Data Analysis, Computer Game design, etc).

Here is a compilation of online resources with which to start your journey: http://noeticforce.com/best-free-tutorials-to-learn-python-pdfs-ebooks-online-interactive.
Programming / Why Your Children Should Learn How To Program. by neightman: 2:39pm On Aug 10, 2016
So, you have been reading a lot about why YOU should learn how to program. But how about you give your children a head start? Here are a reasons your children should write code.

1. It teaches critical reasoning skills: Not all children who learn to program would end up being Developers, just like not all kids who study Math in Elementary School end up becoming Math professors. Programming, however, does teach you problem solving and reasoning skills that are transferable to other areas of life.

2. It is has been called the new "literacy": There have been those who claim (not without controversy), that it is the new literacy. It is essentially a skill you have to learn to get a decent job as we move further and further in the 21st Century. There have been rumors that some American Law Firms only employ lawyers who can code!

3. Coding develops trans-curricular creative skills: It doesn't matter whether you are in Artist or in the Sciences, there is nothing as sweet as seeing work you created come to life. They develop creative skills that can be applied to almost any field of endeavor, giving themselves an advantage over their peers.

4. Coding is easier if you start at a young age: I don't mean if you start your kid off with C/C++! But if if they start with drag and drop languages like Scratch, by they time they pick up Python at 12, and C++ at 16, they'd have been used to the programming mindset.

Pssst! If you happen to live in Port Harcourt, and are interested in teaching your child how to code, you may check out Uranium Technologies at there office on 2nd Floor, Next Time Super Market Building, Sani Abacha Road, GRA Phase 3, Port Harcourt.

Does anybody know if you have to bring your own coputer to the bootcamp, or if they would provide it for you?
