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.
There was a time when there was no minimum age for Gmail registration, as the registration process didn’t ask for your date of birth. Even if there was a limit at that time, no one ever lied about their age in an account registration?
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.
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!
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”.
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.
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.
