That is before minifying. The variable name "math" was chosen for readibility in the non-minified version. The variable math can be renamed during the minifying process to a short identifier, in this case "E". Since the

Anonymization is really not enough. Some government force Google to anonymize the data after a certain period of time. But I am sure Google engineers are able to piece it all back together without much effort. I don't say they actually

The SQL example should probably be expanded with encoding. It is quite common to see HTML encoded strings in databases. Which is problematic if you want to present the data in a non-HTML context such as a CSV-file. The text also doesn&#x27

Not really relevant to OP. But I've seen parents distinction being made in companies more than once. They basically let the 'senior' programmers create new products and features (type 1 work). They let the 'junior'

When people say "dress one level above the job you're applying for", I can't help to imagine what the levels are. I came up with something like this, from high to low: - 3 piece suit - 2 piece suit with tie - 2 piece sui

Maybe you accidently switched regexes and html parsing around. But using a regular expression to retrieve data from a webpage is not an example of over-engineering. It would be a good example of a quick-and-dirty solution. If someone used t

There are a few good reasons to deploy this often: 1. You get paid per deploy 2. You want to get on the front page of Hacker News 3. Your software is riddled with fatal errors and things are escalating. Your customers are getting more and m

Your computer virus analogy is a bit off as the virus was created by a superior being. Self-replication is something that was programmed into the virus, the virus did not develop this ability itself.

Booking.com has been around since 1996. They are not a start-up according to the website's definition (max age is 4 years).

Your front door has penetrated the sanctity of your home, and it's no longer a safe haven from the nasty harsh outside world because you leave it open all the time. Internet doesn't penetrate anything. It's not like I plug my network cable

"[H]e goes home, has dinner with his wife and kids, and then works in the late evening." So basically he gets a small break to have dinner and then goes back to work. That's not really what the title is suggesting. Not sure what the article

I agree it seems OP is bad at interviewing, as well as some others who have replied to OP. It would be better to view the interviewing process as a game with a weird set of rules, half of which you don't even know when you join the game. Re

You are right that it is not about the software. I think you are wrong thinking that it is about the protocol. It probably should be about the data. The data should be openly available to everyone. But there are some requirements to the dat

This is interesting, but I feel the author did not get to the meat of the issue yet. He suggest to relabel the 10x to 1x and 1x to 1/10x. Which to me just leads to a discussion about whether the glass is half empty or half full. I think the

Invisible cruft! The worst. Also, Python is crufty by convention with its __init__ and __new__.

Yeah, I've seen people go down this path. In the next step they realize they need an if-statement to determine whether to instantiate a PDFPrinter or a MSWordPrinter. Which they conveniently hide inside an AbstractPrinterFactory or a Comple
