@PrivateGER lool that was quick

@ARYAN-GULATI you only get em once. try making a rant instead of spamming, i’m sure you can get one too

@jimmy213 I think Apple’s monitor is actually one of the cheapest high-end monitors meant for professional use (even with the stand).

@Cyanide haha probably not, I’ve been making better commits these days :P

@Hastouki You’ll be surprised by the number of developers claiming that they are useless simply because they don’t use them in their jobs. 🙄

@DefiniteGoose I never said it was “useless”.

These underlying computer science concepts are used under the hood by every computer, and are important to understand.

@Anookas I totally agree! A degree isn’t the only way to learn these things, but it’s one of the ways to learn.

Sadly, people often disregard the degree along with the topics they will learn—my point is that it’s important to understand the fundamentals of computer science.

@Kodnot That’s a different case—if you haven’t learned anything then a degree might not be helping ;)

Still, my point was that it’s still important to get into the nitty-gritty computer science topics rather than disregarding them completely.

@remiL33t Thanks, I really appreciate it :)

Good luck with open source! 🙌

@retnikt dang I knew something was off before posting this

@Cyanide it does haha :P

@Pavr they are like README updates for my own repos :P

See for yourself 🙈

@Pavr haha I’m honestly trying to improve the quality of my commits though—most of them are incredibly simple updates.

@remiL33t Thanks! I’d recommend to first check out a project that you use and would like to improve.

Check out the open issues and browse the code to get a feel of the structure and internals. Once you’ve gotten a fix, commit with a meaningful message submit a PR with an accurate title and description of what it does.

As a maintainer, I always love it when the contributing guidelines are followed and issues/PRs are nicely formatted.

If you get rejected or need to make changes, work with the maintainer to help fix it—it’s also perfectly fine if it doesn’t work out—you can always try again with different projects.

Let me know if you have any specific questions :)

@53414a414e Thanks :)

Lately I’ve been making better commits, but my commits in early 2017 were trash.

I managed to take it down to 2,800 so far...

@LeFlawk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Take a flight back into 2017!

@LeFlawk I’m worried about why you’d write something like that in the first place.

@anamus It’s a real problem that affects Android phones—since they don’t limit the CPU when the battery degrades, the phone shuts off unexpectedly at ~10%.

It’s because the batteries can cause your phone to shut down at 40% because of CPU usage.

@Alice @D--M

@Linux Yeah, most of the mathematics behind AI have been established decades ago.

The only difference is that now we have the computational power to apply them in practice.

The problem is that a lot of people just add a ton of “if” statements and call it “AI” rather than doing some research. 😅

Well it’s used as a buzzword now, but actual neural networks (using matrix calculus/derivatives) have been around for a while.

@Hammster Yup, you have a lot of facts against me—it's hard for me to prove my age.

- How can I prove my age?

- If you read Introducing Moon, it states that I started working locally on Moon in 2015. I didn't know how Git or GitHub worked at the time.

- .ml is a free TLD that I only use because I currently cannot afford to buy other domain names.

- My name changes are public. I tweeted about it and also have accounts setup on my older usernames (such as @KingPixil on Twitter)

- The math is actually pretty simple—it's just the notation that throws people off. The summations are just notations for averages and the amount of items in a multiset. This sort of stuff is taught in my middle school Algebra 1 class along with a few higher math courses in high school. It's not as complicated as you make it seem.

@Hammster I feel that it is still more of an announcement than anything else. I can see how you can see it is self-promotion though.

There are tons of other kids out there with similar skills, I’m part of a community filled with them.

For real though, I would rather continue this over email.

@Hammster I'm not advertising in any way, this is just an announcement that I'm proud of.

And...I am 13. I have had a ton of interest in computer science since I was 8, and got started by making websites and then progressed into systems.

Again, I'm not sure what a username change has ANYTHING to do with my age. If anything, rebranding myself from "simplecooldude1" is showing an increase in maturity.

Lastly, @kong is definitely not me...check the ++'s on their account (which was made before mine).

Just think about what you've said.

"You are not 13 years old"

Are you seriously expecting to convince me that I'm not my own age?!?

Reach out to me personally if you really want to, but don't ruin nice communities like devRant by attempting to "expose" someone.

@saintograph Thank you so much! :D

@notcool how about:

function add (
a,
b
)
{
return (
a
+
b
);
}

@th31 I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree then :)

I might consider adding one-time donations to the READMEs of my projects though.
