@Tsaukpaetra duly recorded.

Only if the user cooperates in "running" the program... it can't iterate all by itself. A computer that requires someone to sit there pushing a button to generate clock pulses is not turing complete. That computer plus a person sitting there pushing in clock pulses might be turing complete, but only if it has that person sitting there. Also, the CSS "turing complete" simulation that I saw required more than just pushing a button; it required pushing the correct button... which I think is cheating. The computer isn't actually computing; it's just displaying instructions for the human to perform, and human error means that the program won't necessarily do what it's supposed to do (well defined), nor will it always do the same thing (repeatable). The demonstration of CSS being turing complete had two instructions: "press tab" and "press space", which would alternate. That's the kind of thing you could set up with two drinking birds or an AC power source. If the human is required to make CSS turing-complete, then C isn't a turing-complete language until you add a CPU and some electricity.

@atazhaia said in Android phones might crash when calling 911: Also, get a couple USB-A ports back on them. I'd agree with you for the non-Air models. (There's much less of a problem with having connector restrictions when you're explicitly doing super-slimline as that model's key feature.)

@Gąska said in 8 Values: @zecc said in 8 Values: I support single-payer, universal healthcare. What's that, a single person paying for everyone's healthcare? I don't want to be the one who supports that! You tried to make a joke, but the reality is exactly that - in single payer system, there is one entity that pays for everyone's medical bills - it's called the state, and it's funded entirely from taxes. Could be treasure or tribute. We don't do a lot of those these days, but all three Ts are technically on the menu.

@Parody Ah, the 90s, when kids could still smoke at amusement parks

@kt_ @anotherusername said in What the fuck, NodeBB...: When I enter certain categories in Meta, it randomly scrolls to and highlights a certain topic. If I then try to go to another page, it returns me to the page I was on, rescrolls me to the same topic, and highlights it again. It consistently returns me to the same topic in each category: Meta: When flags get stupid Bugs: broken database The Lounge: (topic title is lounge content, I guess) So far, those are the only 3 categories where I've seen this. I've turned my userscript off to verify that it's not somehow causing this bug, and it's not. I wonder if it'll start taking me to a different topic in Bugs, since I'm posting this topic there...
