ARE YOU BUILDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?




I recently got a job of which my responsibility was to maintain a c++ based code. The first day I resumed, my task was to trim the code i.e. making the code shorter with the same functionality and a better performance. Everything was going well, methods or functions with 50 to 60 lines of codes were trimmed to be 20 or 30 lines. Just then I stumble over this class file and was amazed at what I saw, what was it? it was a function containing containing about 3000 lines of codes with no documentary comment. Yeah!, whoever wrote this is a genius, but wait..., was he? I didn't think so because about 90% of this 3000 lines was made up of a very looooooooooong IF-ELSE statement, then I asked myself, what was this guy trying to build, Artificial Intelligence System? This was just a Hotel Management code. Please my friends, basic programming knowledge is very important, if you are the kind of a programmer that does this, go back to your language and  learn it to the bone also learn to write a very helpful comment in your code, that wont take your job away from you.
Make a better coding world for those who are coming to maintain it so that you will always be remembered as an excellent coder.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

How to Check Logs or Journal of a Specific Service on Linux

Monitoring logs is an essential part of system administration. On Linux, logs help diagnose issues and track service behavior. This guide covers various ways to check logs for a specific service. Using journalctl for Systemd Services Most modern Linux distributions use systemd , and logs are stored in the journal. To view logs for a specific service, use: journalctl -u service-name.service Example for Nginx: journalctl -u nginx.service Viewing Real-Time Logs To follow logs in real time, use: journalctl -u service-name.service -f This is similar to tail -f for traditional log files. Checking Logs with a Time Filter To see logs from the last 1 hour: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "1 hour ago" For logs between two timestamps: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "2024-02-01 10:00" --until "2024-02-01 12:00" Using Traditional Log Files Some services log to files in /var/log/ . Check: ls /var/log/ For example, Nginx lo...
