priznat posted:I want to know Richard's views on text editors that convert tab keypresses to spaces. It seemed like he was bothered by the tap tap tap of spacebar so perhaps that is ok. He specifically argued that spaces bloat file sizes, and as a compression specialist, that really bothered him.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Eight spaces is super wasteful.

Snak posted:The worst is when you're working in some language where whitespace is actually part the code, like Python, and they get mixed, and then you load it into an editor with a different tabs to spaces conversion and you're just hosed. Can we be best friends?

I don't write a lot of python... If I was using just 1 ide, I would configure it to make 4 spaces when I hit the tab button, but I use all manner of different text editors, so tab being tabs is what I'm used to.

That joke also had a great callback when they were all worried Richard was gonna hire that one rear end in a top hat, and then Richard just said, offhandedly "Oh, don't worry, I'm not hiring him. he uses spaces instead of tabs"

Spaces vs. Tabs debate got this thread locked for a few weeks last season. Why not just drop it.

Edit: I just checked. OP's a loving idiot who closed the thread over a sweet tabs vs spaces discussion and a mod unlocked the thread next day and told him to not do that again The discussion did not resume  (gently caress you, op) Accretionist fucked around with this message at 21:21 on May 26, 2017 |

Wow, that's even worse. I just thought it was funny there was a off-the-cuff callback a season later. I'm waiting for SeeFood and NipAlert to merge into some killer app, and Jian Yang and Bighead become partners.

All hail Mike Judge Other than the company names, and the fact that Weissman scores are made up, Silicon Valley is basically a documentary. I still haven't gotten over the introduction of Agile planning for the sake of tricking developers into working harder.

PittTheElder posted:Other than the company names, and the fact that Weissman scores are made up, Silicon Valley is basically a documentary. Weissman scores are funnier than that: Wikipedia posted:The Weissman score is an efficiency metric for lossless compression applications, which was developed for fictional use. It compares both required time and compression ratio of measured applications, with those of a de facto standard according to the data type. It was developed by Tsachy Weissman, a professor at Stanford, and Vinith Misra, a graduate student, at the request of producers for HBO's television series Silicon Valley, about a fictional tech start-up. [1][2][3][4] So yeah, they were made up for the show, but are technically real.

Some kids even committed suicide as a result. You better to get a acceptance from Stanford or you have no value!

That reminds me, a few days ago a question on Stack Overflow hit one million views. It was about how to exit vim: https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/05/23/stack-overflow-helping-one-million-developers-exit-vim/ Apparently Ukrainian jquery developers aren't the brightest

Yeah, that blows my mind, too. Like, I get it. It's because they only ever encounter Vim when like a git commit launches them into it or something, but still...

It doesn't surprise me Miller is leaving. I won't share too many details, but someone I know saw him get really drunk and make a bunch of (unfunny) comments. Apparently he's insufferable and basically the cast's Chevy Chase, only without the prior track record of good work.
