前端工程師面試問題集

@版本 2.0.0

譯注：此翻譯版，主要給不能流利的讀英文的人看，相關專有名詞還是保留原文。翻譯不好地方請協助pull request.

此repository包含了一些前端開發的面試問題，來審查一個有潛力的面試者。這並不是建議你對同一個面試者問上所有的問 (那會花費好幾小時)。從列表中挑幾個題目，應該就夠幫助你審查面試者是否擁有你需要的技能。

Rebecca Murphey 的 Baseline For Front-End Developers 也是一篇很棒且值得讀的文章在你開始面試之前。

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs
