"5E3"
I assume they wrote it as 5000 and it got changed to 5E3 by the minifier as it saves a byte?
Yeah that'd be my guess. Minifiers squeeze every byte.
trueandfalseget minified to!0and!1respectively.Never heard of a minifier. It's a brilliant idea though.
Most websites use them. Smaller file -> less bandwidth -> lower costs.
