MODERATORS
Literally me every time I want to program something slightly complex in Python.
It's just YAML...
YAML makes you appreciate Python's 4 spaces indentation.
I thought python allowed whatever indentation you wanted as long as it's consistent?
pep8 calls for 4 space but it is a guidance not a rule.
Google internal style guide recommend(ed?) 2 spaces to accomodate the line length limit.
It does, but most style guides and autoformatters will use 4
Python is one of the few languages with an official style guide, I think that guide says 4 spaces.
Tabs!
I've set tabs to four spaces in vim because who the fuck defaults tab to eight spaces. That shit looks alien and pushes text off the screen fast.
I don't develop kernel modules, I use python. That's pretty interesting though.
I set my clang-format to tabs only (actual tabs ASCII 0x9, no alignment and there is a continuation tab instead), then anyone can set their editor to whatever tab length they feel like and look at their code however they want.
But no spaces on the left of my code. This is for C, C++ and JSON.
4 tabs is a bit overboard, don't you think?
4 spaces? Hard core Python programmers must have a callus on their thumbs.
Just assign tab to 4 spaces.
Mmmm, perfectly level.
I'd love to see your .editorconfig.

What's that in your project root? ...pom.xml? Misread that at first as porn.xml.
I'm not the OG on this, just an old reddit post I remembered

If I had a nickel every time I read it like that
But yaml forces the indentation
