iconic quotes from april 20th's workspace event:

"Don't you just love the sound of gunshots while coding?" -@perseverantdt [perse]

"Don't you scream for help in asmr?" -@orthogonal-slut [elliot]

"Giving all the AIs mad cows disease" -@moose-mousse [moose]

"that's not hard because its supposed to be hard. It's hard because windows hates me." -Moose

"It's like when people are afraid of the console like oh my god what if I kill everything" -Moose

Elliot: "You should try suicide linux" Moose: ELLIOT NO WE ARE NOT TRYING TO TRAUMATIZE THE NEWBIES GODDAMNIT

"The good bad thing about linux is that it does what you tell it to do. So if you tell it to scoop out your own brain it goes OKAY!" -Moose

Elliot: "If you upload a repo with an empty readme the ghost of Linus Torvalds will come to haunt you at christmas." Moose: "You do realise Linus is not dead?" Elliot: "You kill him in spirit." Moose: He astrally projects anger at you.

Hi! Do you happen to have a discord? Of not can you please consider maybe making one? So girls could unite(I need some freaking safe space. I had so much BS from male colleagues one even made me cry lol. And yes, it was because of coding. Like the superiority complex is like ingrained in them)

I just want to find a coding partner who's nice lol:) please and thank you 🩷🩷🩷

Hiya!

I don’t personally own/run a discord server but the lovely and amazing @vexacarnivorous created a server called ‘Codeblr Blogs Unite’ and we’re all in there and it’s friendly, I literally love everyone in there! The server is mixed but everyone is respectful and kind! Just a place to hang out from places like Twitter/Reddit/Other bad servers etc 🥲🙌🏾 But yeah some of us even built a group project together and it was so fun, I loved it!

I made a post about it: LINK

And a link to the server: LINK

Please join and have fun! I realised I didn't add it to my pinned post but now I have! 🥰💗

Please join the discord server.

I will be posting updates, Dev builds, Ask for suggestions, and much more :P

I HAVE FINALLY SUCCEEDED

IT WORKS!!! IT WORKS!!!!!

[4, 5, 4.3] -> add BECOMES 13.3!!!!!!!!!!

YOU PEOPLE I HAVE DONE IT

source code will be coming soon (as soon as i get more helper functions working.

For now, PLEASE contribute if you can. Even as little as suggesting some helper functions could help me a ton.

Contribute below:

Open a PR, An issue, Anything, Just mention what the language lacks and you don't even need to implement it yourself, I'll add it to the To-Do list and get working on it ASAP.

What is half-adder and full-adder combinational circuits?

So this question came up in the codeblr discord server, and I thought I would share my answer here too :3

First, a combinational circuit simply means a circuit where the outputs only depends on its input. ( combinational means "Combine" as in, combining the inputs to give some output )

It is a bit like a pure function. It is opposed to circuits like latches which remembers 1 bit. Their output depends on their inputs AND their state.

These circuits can be shown via their logic gates, or truth tables. I will explain using only words and the circuits, but you can look up the truth tablet for each of the circuits I talk about to help understand.

Ok, so an in the case of electronics is a circuit made with logic gates ( I... assume you know what they are... Otherwise ask and I can explain them too ) that adds 2 binary numbers, each which have only 1 character. 

So one number is 1 or 0

And the other number is 1 or 0

So the possible outputs are are 0, 1 and 2.

Since you can only express from 0 to 1 with one binary number, and 0 to 3 with 2, we need to output 2 binary numbers to give the answer. So the output is 2 binary numbers

00 = 0

01 = 1

10 = 2

11 = 3 // This can never happen with a half adder. The max possible result is 2

Each character will be represented with a wire, and a wire is a 0 if it is low voltage (usually ground, or 0 volts) and a 1 if it is high voltage (Voltage depends. Can be 5 volts, 3.3, 12  or something else. )

BUT if you only use half adders, you can ONLY add 2 single character binary numbers together. Never more.

If you want to add more together, you need a full adder. This takes 3 single character binary numbers, and adds them and outputs a single 2 character number.

This means it have 3 inputs and 2 outputs.

We have 2 outputs because we need to give a result that is 0, 1, 2 or 3

Same binary as before, except now we CAN get a 11 (which is 3)

And we can chain full adders together to count as many inputs as we want.

So why ever use a half adder? Well, every logic gate cirquit can be made of NAND (Not and) gates, so we usually compare complexity in how many NAND gates it would take to make a circuit. More NAND gates needed means the circuit is slower and more expensive to make.

A half adder takes 5 NAND gates to make

A full adder takes 9 NAND gates.

So only use a full adder if you need one.

Geeks for Geeks have a page for each of the most normal basic cirquits:

I hope that made sense, and was useful :3

Anyone can program (yes, even you)

"Programming is easy"

I saw some variations of this statement shared around the site recently, always in good intentions of course, but it got me thinking.

Is that really true?

Well it certainly isn't hard in the way some developers would want to make you believe. A great skill bestowed only upon the greatest of minds, they're the ones making the world work. You better be thankful.

That is just elitist gibberish. If anyone ever tells you that programmers are "special people" in that way, or tries to sell you on the idea of "real" programmers that are somehow better than the rest, you can safely walk in the other direction. They have nothing of value to tell you.

But I think the answer is more complicated than a simple "Yes, programming is easy" too. In all honesty, I don't think it's an easy thing to "just pick up" at all. It can be very unintuitive at first to wrap your head around just how to tell a computer to solve certain problems.

One person in the codeblr Discord server likened it to cooking. That's a skill that can be very hard, but it's also something that everyone can learn. Anyone can cook. And anyone can program.

I really mean that. No need to be good at maths, to know what a bit is or whatever it is people told you you need. You're not too old to learn it either, or too young for that matter. If you want to start programming (and you can read this post), you already have everything you need. You can write your first little programs today!

One of the cool things about programming is that you can just fuck around and try lots of stuff, and it's fine. Realistically, the worst thing that can happen is that it doesn't work the way you imagined. But you'll never accidentally trigger the fire alarm or burn your house down, so feel free to just try a bunch of stuff.

"Okay I want to learn programming now, what do I do?"

That's awesome, I love the enthusiasm! As much as I'd love to just give you a resource and tell you to build a thing, you still have to make a choice what you want to learn first. The options I'd recommend are:

Scratch: A visual education tool. The main advantage is that you don't have to worry about the exact words you need to write down, you can just think about the structure of your program. The way it works is that you drag and drop program elements to be executed when they should be. You can relatively quickly learn to make cute little games in it. The downside is that this isn't really a "professional" programming language, so, while learning from Scratch will give you the basics that apply to most languages and will make switching to another language easier, you're still gonna have to switch sooner or later. Start here: https://scratch.mit.edu/

Python: The classic choice. Python is a very widely used, flexible programming language that is suited for beginners. It is what I would recommend if you want to skip right to or move on from Scratch to a more flexible language. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ is your starting point, but there's also a longer list of resources here if you want to check that out at some point.

HTML/CSS/JavaScript: The web path. HTML and CSS are for creating the look of websites, and JavaScript is for the interactive elements. For example, if you ever played a game in your browser, that was probably written in JS. Since HTML and CSS are just for defining how the website should look, they're different from traditional programming languages, and you won't be able to write programs in them, that's what JS is for. You have to know HTML before you learn CSS, but otherwise the order in which you learn these is up to you. Your JavaScript resource is https://javascript.info/, and for HTML and CSS you can check out https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web.

I put some starting out resources here, but they're really just that - they're for starting out. You don't have to stick to them. If you find another path that suits you better, or if you want to get sidetracked with another resource or project, go for it! Your path doesn't have to be linear at all, and there's no "correct" way to learn things.

One of the most important things you'll want to do is talk to developers when you struggle. The journey is going to be frustrating at times, so search out beginner-friendly coding communities on Discord or wherever you're comfortable. The codeblr community certainly tends to be beginner-friendly and kind. My DMs and asks are also open on here.

4 of 100 Days of Code

Homework done in less than 30min, I'm proud of myself. It felt yesterday like I was hitting my head on the walls cuz I didn't know how to make it work. Actually I was reading both exercises in the wrong way and making it harder than it actually was, so my tip for the future is DON'T STRESS JUST READ IT AGAIN SLOWLY.

Also my perspective of how to handle some problems has being challenged again and again, in need to come to terms with trying different types of solutions. I need to look forward into getting out of the vicious cycle of using the same ways every time.

Also big procrastinating time in the morning but I figured out that the more I remain calm and easy I get to do things faster than if I was rushing to get them done quickly.

I entered the discord server for codeblr, and everyone is so nice and welcoming. Thanks guys <3

It's the end of the day and I watched 18 videos today, I'm so exhausted and my headache is killing me. I saw how to do the basics of class, methods and how to assign them.

That's it for today, I hope everyone had a good day and I'll definitely just fall asleep instantly after this. Good night!

Hiyaaaaaa!! ✨

Wanted to ask a lil wee question to ya:

🎓 Any teacher/mentor figure that has had a huge impact on your studies?

Thank you and talk to you later!! 🙌🏾💗

Ah great question! @xiabablog

This is my first ask too ✨

It didn’t take me more than a minute to come up with this answer because I knew exactly what it was. @tenaciousdeveloper has had a huge impact on my studies, he’s given advices that has my changed the trajectory of my journey for the better. His suggestions I don’t joke with, he’s encouraged me in so many ways, example: I wouldn’t have done the shopping site from last months goal without his advice and I quote “No project is too big, you can break it down in little parts and slowly you’ll finish the project” Okay, those were not his original words but it’s really close to what he said 😂.

I also have notifications for his blog turned on because he drops some really bomb resources. Y’all should check out his blog, you’ll definitely find a gem or two there but none of this would have been possible without codeblr community , I don’t know how my studies would’ve been without codeblr, I don’t think I would’ve met him too Constantly seeing peoples study logs, struggles, conversations, resources: has kept me motivated and I’ve been more consistent.

Shoutout to the discord server: The discord server too!

[zoeythebee]

Just wondering, have you heard of the codeblr discord server? I just found it and it's a great community.

I have! I'm on it! And I dont ever say anything because staying active on discord servers is really exaughsting for some reason.

[the-pipistrelle]

quick introduction

hey guys, it’s pipistrelle. this is a quick introduction post for me and what i’m doing here!

i graduated last year with a degree i enjoyed learning about and hope to continue to be involved in in a voluntary way, but i felt like it wasn’t clicking when i saw what i would be doing day-to-day.

thankfully, one day i challenged myself to give python a shot. it opened up a new world of possibilities for me. i learned it on and off for a few months. then i decided to look into discord bots, and opened another new world. kinda crazy. i made a tarot discord bot while i was out of work sick, which led me to where i am now! making a tumblr.

i’m not really sure where this will go, but i know there will be coding snippets, links to my medium tutorials, and other random bits and pieces from other interests i have.

some of my non-programming interests include :

coffee & tea

music

cute pc setups

mechanical keyboards

gaming

anime

wildlife biology & conservation

bats (hence the name)

annnnnd a lot more. i am a deep-dive addict and i am proud.

like i mentioned, i'm not 100% sure what exactly i will be posting other than coding tutorials, gameplay snippets (stardew valley, apex, etc), and random thoughts and finds relating to my above interest list.

i hope you stick around for this peek into my little corner of the world. i’ll be following up soon with a link to my first tutorial on medium. we’ll be making a discord.py bot! i’ll have some nice code snips in the post too. follow if you’re interested in seeing that 🖤

thanks for reading this friends. hope you have a great rest of your day/night/whatever.

hmm you know what would be cool. having a discord server or something for all of the codeblr blogs. i don't really have any programmer friends that i can talk to regularly, and it'd be neat to maybe interact with a few mutuals and get to know each other (i'm a little shy so it can be hard reaching out one-on-one)

it wouldn't be only mutuals of course, and i don't know if anyone would actually be interested, but if you are feel free to reply/reblog/like/dm (who knows - it might even be a general studyblr or stemblr thing?)

First of all: Hi, I think I asked this same question to your other blog personal blog by mistake. Super sorry for it! Second, here is my question: I'd love to start a Codeblr but I'm not sure on where to start. Do you have any tips? I saw a post about a Discord server to Codeblrs but I can't find it anymore. Thank you <33 love your blog.

Hiya 💗

No problemo about the mistake! I deleted it and will answer this one instead!

🤔 "I'd love to start a Codeblr but I'm not sure on where to start. Do you have any tips?"

I've made a post answering this question in a way, you can check it out: post 1

If still unsure, you can message me for help 👍🏾

🤔 "I saw a post about a Discord server to Codeblrs but I can't find it anymore."
