Two stacks make an automaton Turing Complete. Which is an interesting result.

Attacking Freenode sent a chilling effect through many communities that would gladly not deal with your infantile rampage backed by what I'll assume is ill-gotten gains. Check yourself. You're not in the right, here.

I've been on Freenode since 2006. I've been known as 'imode' for a couple of years now. I called out Lee, and he took my nickname away. There are already abuses of power going on, and he has no legal authority over any o

What do you mean by "manipulating the language"?

Lotta people in this thread are quick to defend a corporation that has no vested interest in them other than a labor vehicle. Check yourselves.

Stallman is looking more like FOSS' Stalin every day. There's no technical justification or even an overtly ethical one to use GCC over libclang, Stallman's ego just needs stroking every couple of years. I long for the day th

I'd think privacy concerns over data collection aren't ideological, more ethical.

This is so tone-deaf it hurts to look at. The way it's presented feels like they're trying to pander to people. I use Firefox every single day. Focus on your browser, and let your product do the talking.

This editor is my daily driver. Has been for years and years. Glad it's still kicking!

Definitely. Or mechanical logic gates. But the surface area would very quickly become an issue for such a project, and you'd need to assume only a certain few tools.

I don't get why this is downvoted.

If the author wants their code to survive the apocalypse, they should generate Turing Machines that have a simple shim interpreter for low-power architectures. The benefit of this is you can build an interpreter for a TM in wood or other si

This software got me through a really rough hurdle in my earlier years. Had to automate data capture from an accelerometer on a Windows machine. You could only initiate the intended capture from a UI, so automating this for an assembly line

Doesn't appear to work on Firefox, reports "no webgl".

It's nice that you can't contribute in a meaningful way to the discussion. Means I'm right.

I see a lot of people not wanting to offer alternative solutions to the treatment of this particular individual's content: if you're not in favor of removal, then what? This content can't be allowed to stand as-is. I'm s

I don't agree with the assumption that we need to ditch X11 entirely. Implementations are different from the spec, and a common complaint I have is that certain implementations are gathering code smells like nobody's business. You

Seems like this is a misleading article, because.. 1. You didn't actually beat C, as shown by your own measurements. 2. You move the goalposts to support your article. This is not a good article.

Something like a "place-based" tuple space would be more accurate, yeah.

What's interesting is that there's no "destination" for these chemical signals, they're just emitted into the void. There's no sense of sender/receiver, which has some correspondence to the blackboard mode

To add, here's a nice article on implementing map from scratch: https://blog.burntsushi.net/type-parametric-functions-golang... It illustrates what you have to pay to get this kind of functionality for arbitrary slices

I don't consider this "beating" the C version. The new version isn't even semantically equivalent. You had to resort to multiple cores. A parallelized C version of wc would probably be even faster. There's not much

Is "ignoring the specification" an extreme, now? Are we seriously expected to entertain this mess? So glad I switched to Firefox all those years ago.

I will be shocked if they can raise the required amount. Shame that this property will probably be bulldozed and exploited like every other natural resource on this planet. To downvoters, is it because I'm right, or because you don&#x2

Thanks for downvoting, everybody. You aren't supposed to downvote because you disagree, you're supposed to downvote because I'm not contributing to the discussion. This place is an echo chamber that favors cliques and follows

This is troublesome, and it feels like "progress" for the sake of "progress" rather than actual improvements. The X Window System is time-tested technology, while Wayland, from what I've seen and read, is not. This

We already have this unique method via Nichrome wire. You can see a really neat application of this in a common toaster here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfxlSG6q5Y
