No, you can’t. I’ve got an example for you:

var a={},
    b={key:'b'},
    c={key:'c'};a[b]=123;
a[c]=456;console.log(a[b]);
console.log(a[c]);

Output of both console.log statements will be 456. To understand why it it so, we should use base Object method toString() on both objects. We will see following output:

> b.toString();
< "[object Object]"
> c.toString();
< "[object Object]"

So when you use object as a key of another object it internally converts to string with value [object Object]. So this is all equal calls:

a[b] === a[c] === a[{}] === a["[object Object]"]

But if you still want to use object as a key, you should use ES6 Maps.

Recently I’ve dived into ECMA-262 (9th Edition / June 2018) specification and in this article I will try to explain variable hoisting using LexicalEnvironment and VariableEnvironment. This article mainly summarise answers to several StackOverflow questions and my understanding of the specification.

The difference between var and let declarations is scoping…

Story about inferential statistics project

This story won’t be a step by step guide to becoming Data Scientist, because I have no idea what should I do after completing following project. So I decide to write a story each time I have some accomplishments on my way.

When I was a student, I’ve got first acquaintance with banking sector and it was awful experience. A lot of software developers sit in narrow open space and they’ve got only one point to access Internet — laptop with mobile wi-fi. I was scared of banks since then.

Several years…

Recently, I’ve encountered interesting task. I should create proxy with apache or nginx for weblogic application. So this article will be about it.

Overall configuration is following:

worker_processes  1;error_log  logs/error.log;  
error_log  logs/error.log  notice;  
error_log  logs/error.log  info;pid        logs/nginx.pid;
events {  
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {  
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;…

While waiting for the project from outsource company, I’ve started to investigate information about Java Play 2 Framework. And it’s really impressive modern tool, which can be used to create amazing web applications. It also has powerful tool to create REST services.

Outsourced application has Angular.js, Gulp, Node.js on front-end…

This is very important question, because it take a lot of time when you met Django for first time. This guide is for setting up Django MEDIA and STATIC files for development environment and it will be more compact then official guide, though I'll give a reference to it.

I need fast and effective method to get three count from one table for statistic on my current personal project. And then I’ve found easy and elegant way to do so:

select count(*) Total,  
       sum(case when is_approved = 't' then 1 else 0 end) PendingCount,
       sum(case when is_rejected = 't' then 1 else 0 end) RejectedCount
from project_project

You could add group by statement so this code will show you counts for groups. This code I’ve tested in PostgresSQL. I’ll try to test it with Oracle DB and will write an update.
