@Jules aaah, danke! der zusammenhang hat mir gefehlt. äh aber darauf hätte die person, die die folien geschrieben hat, definitiv hilfreicher und weniger nervig hinweisen können m) *grummelt jetzt erst recht*

@Jules <333 ich hab mich grad gefragt, ob damit wirklich was wichtiges gesagt werden soll ("fangt aus gründen immer bei 0 an, nur bei dieser Sache da ist es egal") oder ob das eher nur ein schlechter "komm in unsere Gruppe, wir haben seltsame Konventionen"-Halbwitz ist?

Folien so "Im konkreten Fall kann man n=1 (oder als echter Informatiker auch n=0) wählen"
… … ich frag mich, was man mit der Formulierung bewirken will? Lerninhalte vermitteln wohl eher nicht?

Ich bin echt unpraktisch sensibel bei so Kram, und orr dieses ganze Abgrenzungsding bei noch so kleinen Kleinigkeiten und in/statt Erklärungen macht alles so anstrengend. *grenz sich auch ab, aber in xiesem Schneckenhaus ganz allein und trotzig, u know*

@Jules 🎉🏳️‍🌈 ✨ 🐇

@TQ@octodon.social no, thank you, I'll just check the # occasionally. (but if I do appear in mentions I won't be annoyed either, it's just not necessary.)

@TQ@octodon.social (I probably won't be participating after all, because too many things in my life right now, but if I do, I'm fine with whatever the group comes up with :)

And that seems so counter intuitive, like, I'd assume it was the other way round, get the general idea of what something is from videos and then read something for the "what does it have to look like exactly" bit? but apparently no

Okay but I'm super fascinated by how useful youtube is for me for understanding simple coding stuff

I can't focus on the lecture (because it's long and boring) or on books or other written explanations but there are some really good videos

Even more surprisingly i think i usually get the general concept from other sources, but if i have trouble understanding how to use things (sometimes that's just about remembering enough of the syntax to be able to look things up?!) video explanations are 👍

The thing about metaphors is not only that they might not capture the issue accurately, or that they are not universally accessible, but also
that they can make people hate you because you manage to hit all their squicks at once ✨

"your point was clear enough without getting sexist, and i found the part where you talked about the computery bits far more relatable before you anthropomorphised them"

@TQ@octodon.social from the ones i know a little: i think computerfairi.es and cybre.space might work for that (though i haven't spent much time at the latter it seems friendly enough)

Btw of the covers with the huge charter marks on them Lirael is clearly (clayrly… ahah /o\) the prettiest, followed by Clariel, and the others, well, the others aren't pretty.

Aaah, I feel like I'm cheating time by skipping Clariel. I SHOULD have listened to it before Sabriel, or at least, well, now, because chronological order, but gnaaah I don't really want to right now
