  • How is that relevant to the question of whether leftism/wokeism acts like a cult?

  • How would you implement, for example, Gaussian elimination with at most 3 levels of nesting?

  • When you're operating on such a low level of abstraction, it's no wonder you don't need deep nesting.

  • What environment are you using that has a hardcoded tab size?

    • Termux
    • SourceHut
    • “View page source” in the browser
  • I just open up Qalculate in Termux.

  • Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be

    …except when they don't. Many common environments have a hardcoded tab size of 8, which is insanely big for using it for indentation.

  • This question doesn't even make sense. If atomic oxygen somehow magically appeared in your respiratory tract, it would immediately react with itself and probably burn you to death.

  • If you haven't noticed, the sun stops shining for several hours every day and how much the wind blows changes pseudo-randomly on a hourly basis. Are problems with uranium supply more common than that? Not to mention that uranium can be recycled.

  • If only 56% is renewable, what exactly was nuclear replaced with, if not fossil fuels?

  • Renewables are great until the sun stops shining and the wind stops blowing.

  • The horizontal tabulation character moves the cursor to the next column which is a multiple of the tabulation length. See the examples here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab_key

    At least for me, it renders like this:

    Clearly the whitespace produced by each tab character has a different length.

    • Many terminal emulators (may or may not be configurable), including Termux for Android (not configurable)
    • GitHub (by default)
    • SourceHut (not configurable)
    • Vim/Neovim (by default)
    • HTML (by default, I think)

    Honestly, I can't think of an environment that doesn't have 8-space tabs by default.

  • I never understood how concatenative programmers can hold the current state of the stack in their head and never get confused about what is where, especially when changing complex code.

  • Your examples are ironically a great showcase of what I hate about PHP. Java-style object-obsessed programming with long names, piles of design patterns and dozens of imports, along with C-style syntax and dollars before variable names.

  • Did you have your mouth open while assuming that indenting with spaces actually involves pressing the space bar?

  • Indentation can be wrong, but braces can't?

  • So Windows is better than Linux because it allows you to use a restricted version of Linux?

  • It's strongly typed, which is why if you want to store a list or object in a column, you have to encode it as JSON???
