On every line that is right-aligned, yes. Most lines would have only tabs.

I consider the leading pipe clearer, and could be sold on it, but ending each line with an inconvenient slash character (non-US layout) makes me strongly favor the trailing version. The trailing version seems more natural with operators lik

You might be shocked by how many editors can't convert indentation spaces to tabs. You might also be surprised by how many source files with indentation spaces have off-by-one indentation errors.

A tab does not mean 8 spaces. That's the whole problem, people keep thinking tabs and spaces have an exchange rate. If you have a source file with only tabs (and you should, then nobody has to run an re-indent script because they can&#

What breaks the alignment is editors inserting spaces instead of tabs. A tab is always the same length, but the number of spaces varies between users.

So for those three levels, do I have to count the object and method-level indents, or is it a rule for languages with unindented includes?

It's a useful compromise for the OS to make, but does not belong in CSS. If I'm running on a non-native resolution, I expect the image containers to scale on websites to fit the images, which they won't if the browser overrid

Disproportionate retaliation against insurgency has been popular at around that last stage of yours. It's not that innovative, though, and doesn't qualify as a step.

Excel has been partly to blame for many bugs in mathematical models, in part because of its datatypes and in part because of its builtins. Some of these bugs are not at all easy to spot, depending on how you go about the building and the ve

I think you misunderstood. I'm denying nothing. What I meant was that if I'm going to run a website with jQuery calls, I should absolutely test with jQuery calls. It makes no sense to claim that one should, say, always use short v

I guess it comes down to whether you believe people are overly conservative with their money. Inflationary currency incentivizes investment, which is useful in a world with scarcity. But if you believe enough people spend too much on luxuri

Well, before the GP post, my takeaway was that it's better to return when using jQuery . The justification for this would have been some magic, which is the sole purpose of jQuery, slowing stuff down. And the web being as it is, testi

The number is far too large to have an SI name. Some people have put forward suggestions for new prefixes, but they wouldn't help you understand the number. Edit: I suppose you could say 1 exayottayottabit, or 100 pebiyobiyobibytes,

A string would have to be short indeed for the capacity to be larger - something like 2 characters, I'm guessing. It's certainly a valid concern in occasional cases, but I wouldn't consider it a major reason to pass on an imp

The part you quoted does disagree with the article, but not with the part you quoted: RRC said we can measure the delay, and it is 0. The article said we can derive the delay, and it is almost 0. That aside, yes, RRC's comments are oft
