"SELF-MODIFYING CODE is code that alters its own instructions while it is executing - usually to reduce the instruction path length and improve performance or simply to reduce otherwise repetitively similar code, thus simplifying maintenance." https://lnkd.in/ddCjHJk View in LinkedIn

NEW HUMAN ECOLOGY. "The internet is the decisive technology of the Information Age, and with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now entirely connected." https://lnkd.in/dsHe6fk View in LinkedIn

AUTONOMOUS CODE. "Viv’s biggest secret is the technology to bring the different services together on the fly to respond to requests for which it hasn’t been specifically programmed. “It is a program that writes its own program, which is the only way you can scale thousands of services working together that know nothing about one another." Given inevitable errors, this is akin to genetic variation." https://lnkd.in/deszndk View in LinkedIn

ALTER COMMAND. "Although code can be generated by other code (metaprogamming), programs generally don’t change their own code as they run; this has the potential to devolve into a mess of difficult-to-track changes. However, some languages do allow programs to alter "their own script as it ran, such as with COBOL’s ALTER command.” https://lnkd.in/dScXnfT View in LinkedIn

GENERATIVE ROOT. "A program that copies itself can generally be written extremely succinctly. In English, such a program might be: "Write this sentence twice, the second time in quotes. ‘‘Write this sentence twice, the second time in quotes.’’ https://lnkd.in/dhc7k7H View in LinkedIn

MOD 94 TERRAIN. "Malbolge was designed to be the most difficult language to program in. Not surprisingly, it uses self-modification as one of its tools to do this. After each command is run in Malbolge, it “encrypts” itself, changing to the same command mod 94 (each command is an encoded number). Many of the resulting commands do nothing, but some are functional." https://lnkd.in/dScXnfT View in LinkedIn

KEY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. "Self-modifying Brainfuck, also known as SMBF, is a variant of brainfuck by Simon Howard, which allows a program to modify its own source code." https://lnkd.in/dgayvgB View in LinkedIn

GLIMPSE AT THE FRONT. "Using Artificial Intelligence to Write Self-Modifying/Improving Programs. The above programming code was created by an artificial intelligence program, designed to write programs with self-modifying and self-improving code. The program created the above result in 29 minutes. The programming language is brainfuck." https://lnkd.in/ddNuyJD View in LinkedIn

JIT COMPILATION. "A trend in software that peaked with Sun’s Java language, was the notion of just-in-time compilation." https://lnkd.in/dHTSZ_H View in LinkedIn

SHOWN VERSUS ACTUAL CODE. "Self modifying code is a phrase used to describe programs that are able to change themselves. Using self modifying code can make it harder to reverse engineer a program, largely because the ‘actual code may differ from that shown’. That is, the actual code that ends up executing may be different from the code that is first shown during disassembly." https://lnkd.in/dU6pj5j View in LinkedIn
