Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be

Now the question becomes, is there a language where the word for “left” starts with R and “right” starts with L?

Doesn’t the light turn into heat anyway as soon as it’s absorbed?

That is also completely true, but meaningless because heat generation is not the purpose of these devices. However, if you use them in a building heated by a thermostat-controlled electric heater, you’re effectivhly running them for free.

This is a gross violation of Betteridge's law of headlines.

That’s why I said “probably”.

I just like to treat acronyms/initialisms as normal words. sendHttpRequest, etc.
