No matter how many times I read this I have no idea what’s going on. Can someone explain this like I’m 3

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!

I want her to do a Ted talk on the morality and ethics of making sure no letter is left behind when underlining text.

Some problems just need a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes literally.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
