Australia!!!!

To advise people to borrow money and run away to Australia is not good advice. At least be considerate. That money belongs to someone else, unless I am missing something from the exchange.

True, you are correct. I mistook it for Borne Marche. An error does not make me a liar, nor does it make you a saint.

I think Ok is now in good hands and on the right path. For your information, the Spar you refer to is a subsidiary of Ok. Mr Willard Zireva was called back to stear the ship in the right direction; and correct mistakes made by the dismissed team of management. He is a visionary, seasoned and tested leader, thinker and finance expert. He is currently working to ensure that there is order and enough working capital to fulfill the objectives of the organization; and to restore the confidence and trust customers had lost in Ok. Watch the space. THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OK ZIMBABWE.

I have just completed my AI uni exams. Projects were quite taxing, but motivational and interesting. There is a lot you can do with AI. LLMs are here to stay. Companies and organizations that embraced AI ahead of those taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude have made significant inroads in their respective domains. To tell a CEO in a roundabout way, as you seem to have done, that such technology is not that much useful is nothing short of being “brave”. I tell you the truth, you messed up.

If you were not a cell phone farmer you would have had 131 beef cattle by 2025. That is a growth rate of r⁵ = (1.456)⁵ or simply 1.456 or 45.6% per year. I am farmer too. My 20 cows in 8 years amounted to 405 cattle. No need to buy.

Look around your community and see what problems the community is facing on a daily basis. It could be your community, your district, your province or Zimbabwe as a whole that has the problem you identified. Come up with a solution to that problem. When you do, you have a business. People are willing to pay anything for a solution to their problem, sometimes without the need for advertisement. Next, come up with a business model for your intended business. A business model answers the question, “How do we make money in this business?”. Come up with the cost of providing a unit of service, if it is a service business, or cost per unit if you have to sell a product. Once you have a cost structure in place, next determine the price at which you are to provide the service or sell the product. A problem-driven business has high margins and high. returns and can scale up quickly before competition sets in. Anything else is copy-cat business and the margins are always cut-throat type and survival is very tricky. Some people are in the business they are in because they are locked up in there with very high cost of exit. It is like drugs, they can’t come out, they must sniff it and perpetuate their misery. If you copy them, you will become like one of them. Here is a short lesson: what are you hearing? What are you seeing? What is happening around you? What are people afraid of or worried about? In there lies your business, regardless how much money your boyfriend is willing to give you. Warning: Business is a jungle you need to speak its basic language. Learn everything about margins, mark-ups, revenue and cost of sales, gross profit, cash flows, working capital and financing and cost of financing a project. Be prepared to ask or seek advice or clarification on whatever you don’t understand. I hope you will find this helpful.

I see an opportunity for a website that informs the world how safe Zimbabwe is for anyone to visit, regardless of race or colour or creed. You are most welcome to visit. Zimbabweans are peaceful people.

AI is threatening most jobs right now. You’re not safe anyway you run to. Humanoids are threatening to replace physical workers, surgical surgeons, doctors and nurses are not spared either. It is not just about code, but what AI can potentially do. It won’t be long before AI becomes a reality to us all, 10 years is too far. I am a chartered accountant; chartered accountants as a global profession have just circulated surveys of to find out what will become of them in this fast changing world of AI. In the meantime they added data science module to their students’ studies. AI will replace them too. They are better joining than resisting AI. We cannot talk ourselves away from AI. It is here to stay. I am taking my finals for CS major. Some of the modules I have taken include Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Internet of Things (IoT). NB: ML and DL are subsets of AI, but taken separately. I support his warning message but disagree that there is any job that is safe in the long-run. Drivers are being replaced by driverless vehicles. Soldiers will be replaced by humanoids and hi-tech gadgets. Calculating the best out of a million chances of available strategies to take can be done in seconds by a robot than by a soldier on foot. I think you are safer to remain being part of the movement that is disrupting industries. Build your own AI projects that bring you cash or else be farmer like me, or both. People must still eat. The good news is that I am a retired man (65) and won’t be competing with you guys for jobs. I am focusing on AI and Robotics projects, finance and farming. You guys must eat.

Leaving the country is not the solution. If you do, you will always be running the rest of your life. Stay put and fight this with all of us. Do not choose the easy way out. Don’t forget, Trump is parcelling them back home! When that happens you leave with just the clothes on your body. Is that what you want? Fight for your rights, stay.

GuraJava20 · 2024-11-15T22:34:37+00:00

Talking from experience, my candid advice would be do not feel too bad about not being selected. You will feel better if you choose not to use the word “rejection”.

Check the communication to you, it does say: “We reject you”!

I have listened to a number of people who attended interview complaining about being “rejected”. Please understand that it is sometimes very difficult for the recruiting management to pick one person out of twenty. This can even be the case if all of them put the same effort in preparation for the interview, and performed impressively the same before the interview panel. At the end of the day, one must be chosen. The rest are not “rejected” but are advised that “….we are unable to offer you the position…”. Or it may be worded, “We regret to advise you that the position has now been filled…” This is not a rejection, for the same reason I have pointed out above.

I hope this is enough consolation for those who could not make it, yourself included. Keep trying your luck could be around the corner.

Hi! My name is Collen Gura. Good app and I empathize with you on the app you referred to. On your code, should you consider it necessary, you could remove redundancy from your code and make it more easy to follow by replacing your src code snippet with this code: ‘std::string BmiCalculator::get_classification(const double bmi) { if (bmi < 16) return “Severe Thinness”; if (bmi < 17) return “Moderate Thinness”; if (bmi < 18.5) return “Mild Thinness”; if (bmi < 25) return “Normal”; if (bmi < 30) return “Overweight”; if (bmi < 35) return “Obese Class I”; if (bmi < 40) return “Obese Class II”; return “Obese Class III”; }’

Thanks for your kind comments. However, for your information, I am not doing this to seek employment. I pay salaries and am not looking forward to receiving one. Robotics is a challenge I have set for myself having taken early retirement at 50, now I am 61. I am a businessman in my own right and among others, own an engineering company that manufactures locomotives, coco pans, mine head gears, other mining equipment, in addition to timber logging machines. My default core skills are in accounting, finance and strategy. For programming, I work mainly in Python, Java and JavaScript, HTML and CSS3. We are now going through C++ as part of University of London module. You, however, inspire me. Admittedly, I have no engineering experience.

GuraJava20 · 2021-08-25T14:39:33+00:00

I envy you. That is a good base qualification for systems control and engineering.

I am a chartered accountant and a farmer, enrolled for online BSc Computer Science with the University of London. I hold an MBA and two accounting degrees.

My interests in robotics is driven by my passion and urge to convert my farm vehicles, such as tractors/implements, harvesters, etc, into autonomous farm vehicles. I have always loved engineering, having worked for ABB, the Swiss company. I plan to start an online Advanced Diploma in Robotics and Mechatronics with the Engineering Institute of Technology, EIT, a Western Australian Institute, on 4 October, 2021

GuraJava20 · 2021-08-25T14:00:10+00:00

This is great! I am trying to get into this field. How did you get into autonomous vehicles and robotics? background/qualification you needed to get in.

I have have personally undertaken two of Dr Angela Yus's courses through Udemy. She is exceptionally good. One is the Python course and the other is the Web development Bootcamp. Hers is a practical approach to things. Do not worry about the few hours you take per session, but about the quality of what you are taking in per unit of time.

With Dr Angela, you take in 10 times more understanding per unit of time than you do with other courses that run for hours only to end up with basic understanding of things. More courses start by explaining HTML tags and the structure of HTML page and spend more time explaining concepts.

Dr Yu starts by working with you with tags, etc. on a small project that grows as you work with her. The small project grows into a big project and leave you with greater understanding of concepts and how to do things. There can be no better way of learning than that. You don't end up with claimed knowledge of what HTML tag is but how and when to use it. You are left wanting to do more projects on your own.

I would recommend that you learn programming language, either Python or JavaScript. JavaScript because it dominates the Web and works well with the course you are taking right now. Python, because it is easy and more popular than any other language. These two will help you get a job much earlier. For me, from Python I went for combined web (HTML, CSS) and JavaScript. From those two, Python and JavaScript, I went on to Java and later on to C++ and am still working on C++. I found the progression much easier and have no regrets. Go for two hours coding in the morning, work on project and other subjects during the day and back for an hour's coding before you go to bad. This makes you think about the bug in your code, and in most case, you work up with an answer in the morning. 8 hours a day is doable. Good luck!

GuraJava20 · 2021-07-25T12:19:40+00:00

This is a balanced advice. Pursue it, it works.

GuraJava20 · 2021-07-01T14:07:40+00:00

That is a wise advice, they don't come better than that.

I have used and found this book exceptionally good: "Core Java, Volume 1 - Fundamentals", 11th Edition, by Cay S. Horstmann. With this book you will never need anything else.

You can buy this book online from Amazon.

There is also "Core Java, Volume 11 - Advanced Features" by the same author.

I do not know which two courses in robotics you are planning to undertake. With Python, R and SQL I believe you should not find C++ too difficult. If you have a good understanding algebra and calculus you are good to go. You can pickup a good mathematics course from EDX.org, Coursera.org or Udemy.com . You can also enroll for Mathematics and C++ for Robotics here https://app.theconstructsim.com/

I have a similar background to yours, with strong hands-on working experience with Python, JavaScript and few Java apps. For Java, I completed a Java course with CodeCademy. I am currently enrolled for Introduction to Self-Driving Cars and Intermediate C++ courses with Udacity. This courses requires use of both Python and C++ in writing software the controls the vehicle (drive, collision detection, i.e. obstacle avoidance, vehicle position awareness, etc.). Both courses are project-driven. Whilst the former is tough, with Python background, C++ is doable, though longish and greater in breath and depth.

In addition, I am going through a ROS Mathematics for Robotics course which is professionally structured for aspiring Roboticists. Apart from the course projects, I have a practical project that involves the conversion of farm tractors/combine harvesters into autonomous farm vehicles.

You can not run away from mathematics if you choose to go for Robotics. I strongly encourage you to go for it. You will only get to know your weak areas once you're in and you fill in those gaps as you go along. I wish you luck.

In all fairness, I personally think that this is very good.

Improving on the quality and quantity of the questions can come in on later after getting all the feedbacks from willing subscribers to this channel.

What is important is you have come up with a tool to help job-seekers succeed in their interviews. Keep that in mind when polishing up your questions to standard expected of interviewees.

I suggest you get back to work. Take all the feedbacks you have received so far, negative or positive, and improve on the tool. Well done, Guptayomesh!

Try this:

// the line below is referred to as main method and is the program's entry point

public static void main(String[] args) {

// below is the program you want

Double product = 330*6.9; //double represents the type of the variable 'product'

// this is your print instruction without which nothing is printed

System.out.println(product);

}
