One day, a bizarre mediation went something like this:
Samurai Jack was trapped in the future until he finished his karma.
Few know that Samurai Jack was an elite coder.
Samurai Jack was SO good, he once turned a O(n4) problem into a O(1) problem. The answer was simply "yes". ("Will the simulated ball go into the simulated basket?")
- Translation: Four parameters to a function are as many as you'll EVER need to ANY programming problem. With the possible exception of meta-programs, like writing a compiler, where the answer is five. UPDATE: hardware interface programs also count, where (if you're breaking down bit-values with their own names) you might need as many as your wordsize.
- Translation: The nature of data is interconnected. All data, apart from pseudo-random numbers ("logical chaos"), is related to the real world, so he defined a unified epistemological model and applied everything in the world to it. Three dimensions of visualization was all that it took.
- Translation: Sometimes you can *simulate* reality to solve a problem.
- Translation: The world is still looking to understand how it works. ...but workses it does.... [Edit]
