Decorators: The Most Powerful Technique in Python

Feb 19, 2025

In Python, a decorator is essentially a Python function. It has unique capabilities that allow it to add additional functionality to other functions without modifying their original code. The return value of a decorator is also a function object. In simple terms, it is a function specifically designed to return another function.

Mastering Base64 Encoding: Everything You Need to Know

Feb 17, 2025

In front-end development, project optimization is a crucial aspect of improving performance. One common optimization strategy is to appropriately replace embedded small images with Base64 strings to reduce the number of HTTP requests on a page. Meanwhile, it's emphasized that these should be small images, usually with a size not exceeding a specific number of kilobytes. So, what exactly is Base64? And why can it play a role in front - end optimization? Let's explore in depth together.

Mastering Go: Why Functional Programming is the Best Approach

Feb 16, 2025

When you hear "functional programming," Go usually isn't the first language that comes to mind. You might think of Haskell, with its pure functions and monads (don't panic, we'll explain that in detail later), or JavaScript, which loves to showcase its features with higher - order functions and callbacks. But in fact, you can also do functional programming in Go, and the process is far from dull.

Feb 09, 2025

Metaprogramming techniques such as metaclasses are somewhat obscure and difficult to comprehend for most people, and most of the time, we don't need to use them. However, the implementation of most frameworks utilizes these techniques so that the code written by users can be concise and easy to understand. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of these techniques, you can refer to some books such as *Fluent Python* and *Python Cookbook* (some content of this article is referenced from them), or read some chapters in the official documentation, such as the descriptor How - To mentioned above, and the Data Model section, etc. Or directly examine the Python source code, including the source code written in Python and the CPython source code.

Timsort is a sorting algorithm that combines merge sort and insertion sort, and it has good efficiency in practice. Tim Peters designed this algorithm in 2002 and it is used in Python (TimSort is the default implementation of list.sort in Python). The algorithm finds sorted blocks - partitions in the data, where each partition is called a run, and then merges these runs according to certain rules. Python has been using the Timsort algorithm for sorting since version 2.3. Now, Java SE7 and Android also use the Timsort algorithm to sort arrays.
