Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs - Stack Overflow

Part 2/2: But today, I came across this interesting article with the conclusion: "Coders who use spaces for indentation make more money than ones who use tabs", stackoverflow.blog/2017/06/15/d...

Wild, right?

Why does Python pep-8 strongly recommend spaces over tabs for indentation? I see on Stack Overflow and PEP 8 that the recommendation is to use spaces only for indentation in Python programs. I can understand the need for consistent indentation and I have felt that pain. ...

Part 1/2: Seemingly every year, I question whether I should switch to PEP 8's recommendation of using spaces in my Python code instead of tabs. I've been using tabs ever since I started coding in Python around 2006.

This post pretty much sums up my opinion on tabs: stackoverflow.com/a/5048130

As a former cryoEM researcher, using 0.141 for visualization jumped out at me. I worried it was taking away from your argument, but it actually reinforces it.

Thanks for the clarification. The use of 0.141 as a threshold is oddly specific and likely indicates that the authors do not understand the different thresholds. This further detracts from the overall quality of the map.

I agree that the lack of ligand density is a problem. However, the Fourier Shell Correlation (FSC) threshold of 0.141, which is used to estimate the resolution of the map, should not be related to the electron density visualization threshold in ChimeraX. These thresholds serve different purposes.
