Would be interesting to see an example. I heard a couple times that code maturance is very similar on how a city grows naturally, but never seen an example.

Fun fact: On the lower right corner there is the Xbox logo emitting waves to an imaginary surface below. The pattern is a watermark for the serial number of the device to be identified in case of leaked footage. Only during development of Xbox.

I something similar for climate data, but loading data from a different site was not possible due to CORS. How is CORS not a problem with this setup? @app4soft: Did you allow all origins? Isn’t this a security issue?

Yes. Check out succinct data structures. They are closely related to compression algorithms. The above mentioned compression algorithms (incl. Entropy and all LZ variants) need a decompression step. They might try to improve the decompression speed by chunking and sacrifice storage space, but decompression is needed. This is unrelated to how they remove redundant information from the data (e.g. using pointers). Succinct data structures try to avoid decompression at all. Again, at the cost of storage space but some operations can be done on the succinct data directly as it is on disk.
