The You Game!

< is happy for ^!

… Has < mentioned < hates Python? Actually < is getting used to it now so <'s warming to it a bit.

[Serza5]

< only ever used python in 1st year uni for maths
< can't mind much of the language but trying to use a debugger which was essentially a command prompt styled program was a nigthmare

[Ray502]

< has been hungry for most of the day, even though < has been eating a good amount of food.

< thinks programming languages with indentation requirements should be made illegal.

[PluMGMK]

< thinks unindented code should also be made illegal though.

[Fifo]

< doesn’t like it when code isn’t indented. Makes it hard to follow.

[Hunchman801]

< thinks unindented code should also be made illegal though.

< couldn't agree more. Or badly indented code.
< just appreciates the freedom to tweak it a little for the benefit of clarity.

[Master]

Oh yeah, < indents obsessively. What bugs < in particular though, is how indents can look different depending on which text editor you view it in. < can have some well indented code, but then when < opens it up in Notepad for a quick edit, the indents look off.

< doesn’t get it. Are you referring to the indent width?

[Ambidextroid]

< doesn't use notepad to look at anything codey, one of the first things < does on a new PC is install Notepad++.
< wonders if anyone's seen the new Castlevania trailer on Netflix? <'s pretty excited

[Fifo]

< also uses Notepad++.

< says it's all because of developers who haven't realized it's not 1970 anymore and still think 2 spaces is an acceptable tab width on modern screens. Or those who must be coding on a 85" TVs not to see that 8 spaces is a ridiculously high setting. And don't get me started on spaces.

< revived the programming thread earlier today, by the way.

[Fifo]

< always uses 4 spaces to indent code.

[Hunchman801]

< always uses 4 spaces to indent code.

< thinks using spaces is worthy of a ban.

[Fifo]

< disagrees. < wonders why.

[Ambidextroid]

< bans hunch for not banning Fifo in the ban the member above you thread

<'s taken to writing notes on <'s hands to remember physics equations and constants, <'s plastered in what anyone else would think is total jargon and it's spreading to <'s arms

[Ray502]

< slept in for like a couple extra hours on the comfy, comfy bed.

[Droolie]

< disagrees. < wonders why.

< prefers tabs because 1 tab is 1 indentation unit as opposed to 1 space being either half or 1/4 of that. Using tabs also makes it very easy for everyone to adjust the indentation width to their liking (just adjust how tabs are displayed) while that's not possible at all with spaces.
< hates it when < copy pastes code from the internet and it's indented with spaces. Some programming languages won't even work with files indented with both spaces and tabs
< also uses Notepad++, by the way. With a customized dark theme. Much easier on <'s eyes.

[Serza5]

< mostly uses notepad++ when < isn't working from a game engine where visual studio is the preferred choice
< appreciates vs for its auto indent feature as it's a pain to try and fix it all when < tries to cut and paste code

[Hunchman801]

< disagrees. < wonders why.

<'s answer is that the very purpose of tabs is to indent things, which makes it rather senseless not to use them. Especially that the reasons not to (e.g. different people use different tab widths which can result in misaligned stuff) are based on bad habits which we should fight rather than accomodate. And anyway, the least would be not to force those habits on other developers, which happens with spaces since the width is therefore hardcoded.

< uses Notepad++ a lot for web development, though < recently discovered Visual Studio Code and it's pretty awesome. Sublime and Atom are pretty good, but this one is even better.
< obviously uses Visual Studio for C++ and C# development though.
