...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?
The Internet didn't even exist when I was four, let alone Linux, so I don't feel so bad.
Well, you shoulda been working on ARPANET then, slacker!
Lucky bastard!
she's going to one of those mythical 20 yo with 15 years of experience 😉
You can start now!
I am no developer, but I've submitted my first patch a few months ago.
It simply added my laptop to a list of quirks, in order to make the microphone work.
Breaking News at msn.com: "Linux uses child labour!"
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.
She spotted that there was a missing
-in the underline for a heading in a piece of documentation, and her parent helped her submit a fix.The first red box shows that the dotted line underneith the text doesn't go all the way to the s in the text above. In the other red box, the dotted line goes all the way.
The neice submitted a patch to add the missing line.
That is adorable.
I want her to do a Ted talk on the morality and ethics of making sure no letter is left behind when underlining text.
You mean the inclusivity TED Talk.
Some problems just need a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes literally.
(งツ)ว
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
Her coding style is on point, though.
Sphinx has warnings for these already. They're just suppressed and ignored :)
Can a 4-yr old legally consent to the copyright assignment?
No but the parents can on her behalf
Which copyright assignment?
A bunch of
=aren't copyrightable but even if they were, the child would retain the copyright.Why wouldn't they be?
Lol because they're 4
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…
I would like to request a patch to the patch request. The submitter describes the dashes as equal signs and it's really bugging me.
I frankly have to very much agree with her.
This better get backported with high priority.
I just noticed it's from 2014.
This is just adorable. Poor s!
@ken27238 Actually great, it is good to see young people trying to help with a project.
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 :-)
