everything means that

the guy who wrote is a prof at my school

I thought you were taking the piss

Douglas Comer

Gnu's Not Unix

I *was* taking the piss at first 😄

Linus Is Not UniX

@meratrix yeah, you told me about him

whats the point of Xinu?

or, LINus User eXperience

it’s used mostly for research I believe

NixOS is nice

and then of course embedded systems as well.

purely functional and you can rollback to updates

thats some old 80s shit

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinu

runs on PDP11

i guess they actually MEAN its not unix, unlike GNU, who just copied unix

xinu runs on m68k <:GWcmeisterPeepoLove:403295311189245952>

sounds like youve got a seasoned prof at least

I personally use the Google Java Style code:

*Each time a new block or block-like construct is opened, the indent increases by two spaces. When the block ends, the indent returns to the previous indent level. The indent level applies to both code and comments throughout the block.*

you can download the style guide from github and import it into IntelliJ

ill just do whatever the c++ standard is

i get a lil too creative with formatting when left to my own devices

C++ standard has a style guide?

i'm sure?

theres definitely a standard when writing it commercially

@M4Gunner you a tabs guy right?

I know, that Kernighan and Ritchie suggested a style for C, which not all adhere to

i only used spaces when i first started

Bjarne has his own style guide for cpp

What do you mean with using spaces? I use indent, but it gets transformed into spaces by my IDE

the reason for this is that the code looks in all editors and IDEs the same

sounds annoying

tabs are easier to nav when editing

so if my IDE converted all tabs to spaces, it would bother me

if it wanted to convert all instances of x amount of spaces to tabs, that might be okay

you will not be affected by it with a sophisticaed IDE

its really one of the stupidest points of contention

they both do literally the same thing: nothing.
