Breaking News at msn.com: “Linux uses child labour!”
Unpaid child labour!
Oh god, maybe they’ll start calling actual child labor “open source”
…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?
You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That’s where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older
Dose mental age count?
Some problems just need a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes literally.
Though slightly cliche, this just feels right. That niece has learned a great lesson about how collaborating to improve things is always possible, and that open-source relies on everyone doing their bit.
I think it’s fucking adorable. And kudos to the Uncle for using it as a learning moment instead of just brushing her off or doing it for her. Curiosity should be encouraged and this is a great example why.
You just know she unlocked a core memory that day. No way this experience doesn’t shape her in some way.
That is adorable.
I frankly have to very much agree with her.
No matter how many times I read this I have no idea what’s going on. Can someone explain this like I’m 3
A girl read documentation and see that all the titles are underlined with -, but one of the letter isn’t underlined like the others (that’s the lonely s). Then she asks the person doing the commit to fix it and they fix it together.
And then the older pair programmer goes to social media and calls out their partners age for clout. Ageism is real in tech. :)
Wow we really can’t just appreciate a wholesome/cute moment?
The line of code (well, documentation in the code) used to look like something like this (I’m not sure if this formatting will work on mobile, sorry):
The code ends with an s----------------------And after her changes it looks like this:
The code ends with an s------------------------See how I added an extra
-in that second line? That makes the S happier because now it also has a - below it like all the other letters. This also just generally makes that line more consistent with other spots in the code. So it’s not a bad change. It doesn’t do anything really but making your code format nice, easy to read, and consistent is usually important in programming so although it doesn’t do anything tangible it’s still a valuable change!deleted by creator
I want her to do a Ted talk on the morality and ethics of making sure no letter is left behind when underlining text.
@ken27238 Actually great, it is good to see young people trying to help with a project.
Somewhere, somehow, this is going to break something lol
It’s almost 9 years ago, I think we’re good.
I reckon we can still mine it for karma for another couple of years…
lazy to not submit a unit test to check for this throughout the repo. That girl isn’t going anywhere with that kind of work ethic
I don’t know, this feels cringe on some levels…(parents)
Ah, yes, totally not written by one of her parents. I hate this kind of crap. She noticed that it wasn’t underlined, and they did the rest. Why is this news? No 4-yo. spells “tragedy”.
“Look how special my kid is, everyone!!”
I would normally be inclined to agree but this isn’t one of those “omg I just had the most intelligent conversation with my 4-yo today”.
It’s clearly someone sharing their hobby/job with their niece, and what better way to do that than by including them in a practical aspect. It also literally says they “helped her as she’s 4 years old”.
You commenting is only bringing more attention to the post by increasing the comment count so maybe reevaluate your approach in the future if you’re so against wholesome content.
Agreed. Sorry. I often hear this kind of stuff IRL from my relatives, so I might be prejudiced.
People bragging about their kids is irritating. However, I hope the girl ends up being a Linux guru :-)
