From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

same width for all setups

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 16 points 2 months ago

So I have to use the same width as you? What if I want 3 spaces for a tab?

That makes it worse imo

I use tabs for indentation then spaces after that if I need to offset a line by a specific amount of chars, such as a multi-line output or something.

Edit: to be specific: https://pastebin.com/un6iUmEp . Notice how line 3 has one tab, then several spaces before the first non-whitespace character.

I like to use asterisk spacing.

void main() {
/****/for (int i=0; i <10; ++I) {
/********/printf("hello world\n");
/********/printf("%d\n", i);
/****/}
}

Respect. Only through destruction can we be purified.

That's spaces but worse? Why do you do this?
