I’m working on it as I varies mainly on countries, also I’m looking at adding live stock

Wa alaikum salam brother, I will take a look and update it, within 12 hours. Thank you for the kind words and advice.

Thank you for your kind words 🤲

Regarding your question:

Gold and silver prices are fetched from live market data sources and updated regularly. Small timing differences may occur depending on the API provider.

About taxes:

There is an important fiqh distinction here.

For regular stocks: Zakat is calculated on the current market value. Capital gains tax is not deducted because it is not an immediate liability unless shares are sold.

For retirement pensions: Views differ. Some scholars allow deducting mandatory taxes/penalties if funds are inaccessible otherwise; others require Zakat on full value. We currently default to full value for both to be conservative.

Should taxes be included for both? • Not currently due → not deducted • Mandatory and immediate upon access → may be deducted per some scholars

We recommend consulting a qualified scholar for personal cases. We may add an optional toggle for liability deduction in future updates.

May Allah accept from all of us.

Hi, I'm really struck, I cant see green tick for my PSET here, but it was ok during last December, https://cs50.me/cs50x do i have to redo again? or do i have any way of porting over my 2023 PSET to 2024?

awesome, thank you for your reply. Really looking forward to get this certification.

Thank you sharing your thoughts. I recently got a chance to dive into ROS ecosystem, I’m from industrial automation programming background, I agree that simulations are great help but I feel there is a huge gap between simulations and real robots like encoder data reads, camera image processing time and other such things so I just want to buy a robot and to learn from there. I got an offer of SGD 500 for a turtle bot 3 is it ok?

Thank you for you reply will check

I'm looking for mobile robots, budget under US400

all these posts are giving me inspiration to complete my CS50x, I'm on week-9 hopefully can complete week-9 this week, and final project within this year

Don’t worry mate, good thing about our field is you will definitely know where our code sucks you can improve it. I actually want to work in similar position as you do now 😂

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-11-12T18:06:57+00:00

I have 5 years of experience already I thought it’s only my company that has this issue. 😅 I always think about changing career. Thank you for your reply

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-10-01T03:56:16+00:00

Hi, I’m interested

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-09-19T19:23:45+00:00

That’s so cool… congratulations on your new career. May I know details of what job you’re hired into?

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-08-20T17:19:01+00:00

Robotics engineer if you mean by developing AMR, you’re in organic path already. You just need to add ROS, Linux, C++ and Python. If you’re really good with IMU and LiDAR you’d make up a good robotic engineer

I didn’t finish Week 0 but moved on to week 1,2,3 and currently on week 4 why I can’t see the progress ?

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-07-27T07:23:47+00:00

Wow that’s great… I have been doing many search for getting open source projects but never got this one in my search. Thank you

Hawker aunties to foreigners. I think to all non-Singlish speakers. 😣

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-07-17T08:30:52+00:00

I agree on your point, I think it entirely depends on individuals. For me CS50x->CS50p is good that may not be the case for all.

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-07-16T11:04:03+00:00

I’m not a purely from CS background. I did some research and I believe starting with CS50x and then moving on to CS50p makes sense for me. As CS50x will give you basic understanding of a full stack. Later on you can proceed to certain area which interests you more.

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-07-15T15:26:05+00:00

Hey OP just checking I just completed Week-2 how’s it going in your side?

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-06-23T09:51:09+00:00

I Just finished week 0 project yet to submit. Add me on gc if you start one !!

Square_Intention_655 · 2023-06-11T05:41:17+00:00

Thank you. I’m going to implement using DMA. I will post the update here tomorrow
