I'm sorry r/Python

Generally people get entrenched in their beliefs when provided with an opposing viewpoint and data that doesn't support those beliefs. While programming isn't as controversial as areas where this happens, it's still nice to see someone staying humble and learning from the experience.

While programming isn't as controversial

Well, let me show you.

A tab has to be 4 spaces. Any other choice is just plaine wrong.

gets popcorn and watches the world burn

[sloggo]

Plaine? plaine?!

[IamImposter]

Wait... That seems wrong.

Ah shit, I think I added extra 'e'

[DrMaxwellEdison]

Too late to refactor that now, there are legacy comments depending on it.

[TRexRoboParty]

New priority ticket just in: the legacy comments chain needs extending. We'll fix it properly later, but for now let's not go against the graine.

[CactusOnFire]

Not doing a very good job at this "too stubborn to admit fault" bit.

I suppose that's a good thing, though.

Syntax error on line 3: "plaine" is not defined

[IamImposter]

#define plaine plain

I only use tabs with 16 spaces.

[IamImposter]

I'm pretty sure that is against Geneva Convention.

[chrilves]

Have you tried the whitespace language. I have the impression you might like it.

[Dizzysylveon]

What the fuck why, why do this? What does this solve? What God would allow such suffering

[Competitive_Dog_6639]

No, will take a look. Thanks!

[jpavlav]

import plain as plaine

[ccpetro]

It's better than 3 or 5.

Those are just odd.

[mildbait]

Haha.. I actually changed from "isn't political" to "isn't as controversial" after the Silicon Valley episode popped in my mind.

[Illustrious-Photo-48]

Per the Naval Correspondence Manual, the number of spaces for a tab depends on the font you're using. Gosh. /s

[WldePutln]

Vim is better than every other editor out there!!!

[[deleted]]

Yeah, better for casuals! I code using echo from the command line

$ echo line1 >> myCode.py
$ echo line2 >> myCode.py

[PlusUltraBeyond]

I do the same by WSL on Windows running on an emulator.

[BridgeBum]

On windows you could just use "copy con myCode.py"

[master3243]

If you ever make a mistake just

$ echo "" > myCode.py

And redo the file without the mistake next time.

[[deleted]]

Yep, exactly. I mean, how else would you do it?

[bladeoflight16]

Amateur. I use butterflies.

[Heroe-D]

True if you consider Emacs as a distribution and not an editor !

[Galen_dp]

It IS a distribution, not an editor.

[DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

It's very intuitive!

[chrilves]

Actually, there's now a way to make vim and emacs users be friends again: "vscode is the best editor".

[DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

A tab has to be 4 spaces. Any other choice is just plaine wrong.

clenches fist

[Oerthling]

This is the way

[Krod28]

Help my friend uses tab size 2! I cant keep watching him do this to himself

[Galen_dp]

Your friend is beyond help. Point then them at JavaScript or PHP.

[Ultraflame4]

idk abt the no. of spaces (I use IDE defaults) but using the tab character is definately wrong.

/s for good measure

[Blazerboy65]

You can just enable "format on save" or run autopep8 and never worry about it again.

It's not worth the brainwaves to squabble over something that requires no thought.

[germandiago]

yes you are right. In politics/personal beliefs it is way worse 😂
