We don't yet know. Right now the consensus is that the universe will probably expand forever and will ultimately reach heat death. If the acceleration is accelerating though that means a Big Rip scenario, but it is very unlikely.

Wow, I've never read that but I will do so now!

Note that heat death happens when the universe reaches thermal equilibrium (maximum entropy). It is theorized that sudden drops in entropy are possible which could have caused the big bang.

This depends on the cosmological constant (dark energy). There are 3 scenarios: The big rip, the big crunch and equilibrium. In the big rip scenario, dark energy will overpower all other forces and at some point space itself will expand so

"dark age" is just something I came up with. By "dark age" I meant that there are no thermonuclear processes left providing light for us. After trillions of years the last Red Dwarf will run out of fuel and there will be

We're kinda in the mid-game. We can still see __a lot__ of galaxies and can still reach them. The universe will keep expanding forever and at some point, the cosmic event horizon will shrink to the size of our galaxy. There is still a

Why didn't you port it to Kotlin instead? Much better language than Go in every aspect and also comes with an auto-conversion tool.

There is also the opposite scenario, the Big Rip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEyXTQ9do-c

Why not have an actual black hole on the ship and use the Hawking radiation to gain energy? More [here]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZGPCyrpSU&feature=youtu.be... ).

There was a point when I got fed up and unsubscribed from all notifications from everything. Now I only operate in pull-mode. I check my things 1-2 times a day and I receive zero notifications. My life is much better now!

I'm not sure. I think this hierarchical nonsense is a German thing. I've worked for IBM and it was a different experience. Still dysfunctional, but in a different way. I never felt at IBM that I was not heard. I also see how Micro

I'd really like to be able to just sit and do the work and don't care about these things (I'm not talking about you but the ability in general). I just can't help myself. I'm always trying to fix things but with a c

I've seen "The Big Short" movie lately and I was flabbergasted about how the finance industry works. I'm beginning to realize that this pattern is universal in all industries. I also see that we as a species are suffer

About time. I had the "luck" of working for multiple German companies (including Volkswagen) and I'm surprised how these behemoths still function. As a grunt programmer, it was painful to see how the upper management made dec

I'd suggest the book [Working Effectively with Legacy Code]( https://www.amazon.com/Working-Effectively-Legacy-Michael-Fe... ).

This is exactly what I've been doing for a while. I check whether my ideas are SOLID and this have been enough so far. When I change something it only affects its immediate surroundings so things are easy to fix. If something breaks it

Definitely not. See my comment on the parent.

My comment from the original post verbatim: I agree with the part that you should write tests, but I definitely disagree with the part that most of your tests should be integration tests. As you pointed out the testing pyramid suggests that

There was an article on a blog which I can't find now where the author explained this situation in depth. Do any of you have a link to it? I think it would be useful here.

Use Kotlin instead.

Plot twist: people never "flocked" to Javascript. People use Node for example because the company they are working for thought that it would be nice, efficient and less costly to have one language for the whole platform. They most

I don't see how this adds any value to the conversation.

The language is crap. Just because people are using it does not mean it is good. Take a look at javascript. Same deal. You did not state any "fact"s why Go is good. Maybe it is good compared to Cobol or Fortran, but not compared t

It it is underway it is not solved. Go is crap.
