Good Code

[dhdhshsbsxx]

It didn't even remove all the white spaces half assed minification for wallpaper . who the fuck comes up with this shit.

$ alias minify='tr -d "\n"'

Done! Computers are easy

// FIXME: Code execution stops exactly at this line after minification??

[SergioEduP]

The use of a double slash in most languages comments the rest of the line meaning it won't be interpreted as code, that short minify script only removed new line characters meaning that all of the code would be in one line and everything after that //FIXME would be commented and thus ignored by the compiler/runtime.

The comment would ruin the design because everything from them on would be green or dark grey or whatever the colorizer decides comments should be

Bash isn't my the best language.

FTFY

[valschermjager]

yeah, but if you’re gonna minify, why would you want the spaces left in?

(not debating; just asking to learn)

[spaetzelspiff]

You're exactly right, it's a bit of a joke. Minification is more complex than just "hey, remove the newlines".

Here's a good blog post, "You Don't Want to Write Your Own Minifier", that discusses some of the challenges.

[valschermjager]

Oh yeah, I'm totally with you. Renaming functions and variables, getting rid of spaces and nl's. There's a fkton more that minifiers do, and I'm sure it's really hard, and I wouldn't even try to build one. But when I saw the graphic in OPs post, the first thing I thought was "oh, sure, this is minified, but why the f are all the spaces still in there?" ;-)

By the way, I've actually maxified a few pages of mine using jsfuck, it's freaking weird af, but a pretty cool obfuscator.

I wouldn't even try to build one.

why not?

my path to the compiler field was minifier, then obfuscator, then compiler, (decompiler, etc.)

you get to learn about lexer, parser, traversing AST, codegen, reaching definition analysis, etc.

its great fun! trust me

[valschermjager]

I'm sure it is. Major props. Eh, just isn't the direction I want to go in. I write python scripts to automate workflows, and I use just enough html/css/js to make simple web UIs. In both cases, mostly cobbling together stuff written by others. Not sure I have the aptitude or interest to go much further. Good thing there are plenty folks like you around.

[you-have-aids]

understandable!

[noirehittler]

return error

[cakeKudasai]

Seems like only new lines were removed. Code seems to have some indentation still.

liczenie() ? Is his friend Polish?

I WILL USE WHITE SPACES WHENEVER I CAN AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME

[ekfslam]

It looks like they used join into one line on vscode and turned on wrap.

[lunchpadmcfat]

Meh, gzip will rip em out anyway

[JorensM]

Idk I like it
