  1. @nerthos It's a means of rudimentary Javascript and CSS compression that removes all of the whitespace and comments that don't matter to the interpreter, and in JS's case renames all the non-global variables to the shortest possible unique names. It's great for publishing things because it means filesizes are smaller for web transmit, but it's awful for cracking things open and figuring out how they tick because the minified code is unreadable.
