I've been spending over the last decade of my life building games.
I have a deeply seeded love of Python and the open source community as a whole.

Python code style - blank lines in long list @Izkata: Code should be self-documenting. In grouping them, it's more obvious from a code standpoint. You can also reorder trivially now (not that you'd need to in this particular context) based on reference rather than cut/pasting blocks of code. /Also/, if the accelerator list becomes long, segregating them /absolutely/ increases readability. |

Python code style - blank lines in long list @Izkata: How, exactly, is segregating various accelerators into logical groups increasing readability and increasing complexity?! Sure, using chain rather than simple concat is more complex, but I've stated reasons for doing so above (preferring + when called for). |

Python code style - blank lines in long list No reason in particular as they achieve the same result. Using chain, you could do something like accelerators = [accel_file, accel_project, ...] and then feed it into chain(*accelerators). But yes, if you're not doing something like that, then simple concat using + would be the way to go (I was working with chain when I wrote the above ;)) |

Python code style - blank lines in long list @ChrisKrycho: See edit. Really, it's just personal preference, but this makes the intention of each portion of your list easier to grok. It's /clear/ what is intended to go where (and therefore increases readability). |

Python code style - blank lines in long list @ChrisKrycho: Ah, in my un-caffeinated state, I didn't see fully what was going on. Rather than using a class, I'd still set a local reference to each logical block and then chain them to create the list being fed into AcceleratorTable. |

How to build Algorithm confidence and where to practice? It really comes down to practice and shoving yourself in interviews as much as possible. One other way that I've found useful in becoming comfortable in interviews is by giving presentations and taking an active part in local tech meetups. Even contributing to mailing lists with people you don't know helps (at least it did for me). |

Can PHP and Javascript do backend together? node can run a pure tcp server just as easily as a web server. for all we know, the OP was interested in using a services architecture where the PHP portion simply communicated with a service backend written in node. in that case, you wouldn't need two web servers. also, unless i'm mistaken, i'm not aware of a node-based php interpreter. |
