Only 500 years or better through the dark age of the Galactic Empire?

The Seldon Plan:

1. Start a foundation.

2. Locate it at the outer rimes of the civilised galaxy.

3. Implement a technocratic cult governed by a dynasty of priests.

4. Engage in psychohistorical research for envisioning future risks.

I'm in no favour for the RIAA but just imagine. It would be a 300IQ move if that specific pull request was engineered by RIAA themself.

Please pull that test case... Fooled! Now there is a legal reason. Here is the DCMA takedown notice.

You are the only commenter quoting the horizontal development. So maybe my idea relates to you.

Are you familar with the concept of the Big O notation [1], which computer scientists use to (more or less) describe the "growth" of their algorithms? E.g. when you compare something that growth quadratically O(n²) to something that only growth linear O(n) you will see, that at some point the quadratically growth will grow faster as the linear growth. Forever! The linear growth will never win.

Comparing this to the horizontal sprawl of a city is easy. The area of a city is planar which is mathematically described as quadratic O(n²) but the average growth of the domestic product is just linear O(n). Assuming the maintainance cost of a planar sprawling city growth quadratic while the domestic product only growth linear then the costs will win over the income. Forever!

The conclusion is to limit the horizontal sprawl of a city to linear growth. This means every new house, street, rail road, pipe system, power line and so on must be build inside a diameter to the city's center with a distance which is logaritmic O(lg(n)) on average. The rest must growth vertically.

The programming course at my university taught us the fundamental paradigmens. The languages were chosen only as examples.

Imperativ / OOP => Java

Functional => Haskell

Logic => Prolgo

I remember last year around christmas/new year 2018/2019 a similar hack/leak/doxxing took place, targeting 994 (!!) mostly german politicians, celebrities and influencers. Massive amounts of private information (names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mails, DMs, contacts, online profiles, chat logs, private documents and even intimate details) where leaked. The data was published on a wide spread of public pastebins and etherpads. It took ages to take them down. The attacker had set up a labyrinth of links, files and passwords and even structured the data by topics and political parties.

Attack vector: Sim-Swapping. It was too easy. As soon as he got into one account, he got access to it's contacts and more phone numbers.

The attacker (0rbit) was a 20 year old student living at his parents home. He bragged about his hack to a online friend. This friend knew that 0rbit had been raided by the police years earlier. He betrayed him to the investigators and with the exact date of the raid the they were able looked up the old case and reveal his identity.

Where did the author commit to a certain standard? Maybe the author knows all of this but isn't -Wpedantic. Please don't jump to conclusions and assume worst.

JIT compiling

Just in time compiling means, you can modifiy your programm at runtime. I had wasted so much time in the implement-compile-run-debug-repeat cicle. Just the naviagtion to the part i want to debug had me cost a lot of time. With JIT you can implement and debug at the same time. Debugging every single change and seeing the effects helped me to avoid a lot of bugs.

I'm familiar the the bubble, Morty. I also dabble in precicion, and if you think you can even approach it with your sad, naked, caveman eyeball and a bubble of f* air, you're the reason this species is a failure, and it makes mis angry!
