  4. Don't repeat yourself - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

    The text string "comment" might be repeated in the label, the HTML tag, in a read function name, a private variable, database DDL, queries, and so on. A DRY approach eliminates that redundancy by using frameworks that reduce or eliminate all those editing tasks except the most important ones, leaving the extensibility of adding new knowledge ...

  5. Data deduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_deduplication

    To date, data deduplication has predominantly been used with secondary storage systems. The reasons for this are two-fold: First, data deduplication requires overhead to discover and remove the duplicate data. In primary storage systems, this overhead may impact performance.

  6. Jaro–Winkler distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro–Winkler_distance

    The higher the Jaro–Winkler distance for two strings is, the less similar the strings are. The score is normalized such that 0 means an exact match and 1 means there is no similarity. The original paper actually defined the metric in terms of similarity, so the distance is defined as the inversion of that value (distance = 1 − similarity).

  8. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    The algorithm starts at the beginning of the data set. It compares the first two elements, and if the first is greater than the second, it swaps them. It continues doing this for each pair of adjacent elements to the end of the data set. It then starts again with the first two elements, repeating until no swaps have occurred on the last pass. [34]

  9. Joel Spolsky - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Spolsky

    The inefficiency to which Spolsky was drawing an analogy was the poor programming practice of repeated concatenation of C-style null-terminated strings. [25] The first step in every implementation of the C standard library function for concatenating strings is determining the length of the first string by checking each character to see whether ...
