I have an encoding improvement that can reduce the length of that program by 100% to an unbeatable 0 symbols (patent pending).

It can go either way. If you duplicate code, but the two copies need to stay in sync, then you've made it a bit harder and more error-prone to maintain. But the worse offense is if you have some code that serves two conflicting sets of

He isn't making the claim that it can encode more bits than the information theoretic maximum you suggest _on average_. On average his method is similar or worse than optimal. But some messages are effectively compressed in this encodi

Nix is hard in the way that programming is hard. Not everyone gets over the activation energy to be successful. The ones that do don't regret the effort. Nix is complex because the problems it solves are high complexity problems that o
