Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Okay, walk me through how you think the code an algorithm is written in gets processed by the computer step by step, please. How do you think a computer operates and is programmed?
Let's say you have code to tell the computer to calculate 3 + 5, in, say, C, because that's close to assembly. What happens on the technical level?
In sorry but you seem to be mistaking the fundamental distinction between what we are talking about.
Then explain to me the fundamentals you are referring to.
Because if you are wondering about how a computer processes information, I can tell you. I can then back it up with sources, and how code gets decoded into assembly, and how assembly is interpreted (spoiler alert, it's binary, as it's a direct representation of the digital circuits on the hardware level, which operate based on binary states, on and off). You just have to ask.
I'm really not. Nor am I wondering about how computers run algorithms.
I'm sure you're excited to talk about CompSci 201 but I don't need the help, thanks.
..then please stop spreading misinformation about how computers work.
I'm not tho.
Classes are tough but you'll get there
Computer science is a field I very much have knowledge in, and I could explain it all, but you said, in no uncertain terms, you are not interested in a discussion.
So I don't know what more to tell you, beyond, you are mistaken, and I could clarify if you so wished.
