I really hate this thing where "not knowing stuff" is kind of the worst thing that someone can admit in tech-world. This is why so many people struggle to learn things, are afraid to ask questions,...

All these "everyone knows this!"-guys and their not very funny "jokes" are just so not useful or helpful. Especially in spaces that are MEANT for learning things!

@maunzikation Ja, voll!

Ich hab jetzt nur "n = 1" gelesen, kenn also den Kontext nicht. Aber wenn n z.B. ein Schleifenindex ist und du irgendwas mit allen 10 Einträgen eines arrays machen willst, ist:

for n=1 bis 10
machwasmit feld[n]

fatal (und ein seeeehr häufiger Fehler).

Die Gelegenheit nutzen auf sowas hinzuweisen statt nervige Witze zu reißen war der Person wohl zu wenig elitär.

@maunzikation Ne also das hat schon gute Gründe. Zum Beispiel kannst du mit 4 Bits 2^4 = 16 Dezimalzahlen darstellen. Und zwar die Zahlen von 0-15.

Und Arrays fangen vom Index her idR auch immer bei 0 an. Du baust also ein Array mit 10 Feldern und die heißen dann feld[0] - feld[9].

Da passieren leicht Fehler, wenn man 1-10 nimmt :)

Beispiele für warum das bei 0-anfangen Witz Ding begründete Wurzeln hat :D

@maunzikation Meeeeh, ja, immer dieses Zeug raushängen lassen, es ist so sinnfrei :/

Ja, es ist ein Ding, dieses "Informatiker_innen fangen immer bei 0 an zu zählen", aber das kann man auch einfach hinschreiben statt "echte" blablabla... *faucht so rum* 🐅

Sorry, wollte dir eigentlich nur zustimmen und dann geriet es außer Kontrolle o.o

There are some python trainings on https://www.lynda.com/ in case some of you have access (via university, job?). Not free though...

I need all the beautiful programming languages to get over these years of Java and C and all the exams. I like C, it's my first language, but!!

@DaveHiggins@octodon.social I might add another degree. But not before October. First I have to remember what having a life feels like. Enjoy summer. Read. Write code for FUN for a change ^^

MY THESIS-MONSTER IS FINISHED.

Yes I have to scream.

I AM FREE NOW.

#chaotic

Ok wow there are 18 people in the gitlab group now? #pcode #practicecoding

@TQ@octodon.social It's like: I posted a question/opened an Issue and now everyone can discuss it. This is a "yes" 🐹

@TQ@octodon.social :) I thought it would help if someone just started to do it, changes are always possible.

But I should go and do other things now :D

@TQ@octodon.social It's like using an existing mastodon instance (you need a client like browser/app) vs. host your own instance on your server.

gitlab.com is our mastodon instance ^^ and you will need to get git for windows as a client (it is a terminal program) to use it.

@necrosis

Dear #practicecoding #pcode people,

please have a look at the Issues in the firststeps project on gitlab. (Join the pcode group first: https://gitlab.com/pcode).

Issues are the place to discuss all our issues, obviously ^^

@necrosis (you only want to use the projects we host on gitlab.com, not install you own gitlab instance) @TQ@octodon.social

@TQ@octodon.social Why do you think that? You just need git for Windows. @necrosis

@TQ@octodon.social Ok now you can do it yourself ^^

@TQ@octodon.social sure!
Just tell me which users I should assign Owner rights to (everyone I guess?)

@TQ@octodon.social We can still use github, though. Nothing has been decided yet? @necrosis
