Loving these 3 year old posts on the "Hot" view. (Not sarcasm, these are great)

It's like when youtube recommends a 9 year old video and all the comments are from the last month lol

@davidgro @AgreeableLandscape

Are you using hot or active? If you're using active it is because someone posted a comment, as it works via most recent comment instead of post date

[-] Perhyte@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They show up in Hot too. Probably because someone on this server loaded the post to make that comment, so it got imported to the server. I guess Hot sorts based on (score and) "new to me", not "new".

@Perhyte

oh that might be the case that it is new to the server. I didn't even think about that.

Enable "Show whitespace characters" master race!

[-] Onlytanner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Exactly. I only started doing this maybe in the past year and since then I've become so anal about consistency with my whitespace lol.

[-] whoamibro@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I do 8 spaces to make my code ultra-readable and to discourage too much nesting of things.

It’s easier to do Fibonacci indentation with spaces. https://imgur.com/gallery/JrSd8WS

I was hoping that link would have been an example of what that would look like
