I had no idea 10mm auto is just a cut down .30 remington case which is itself just a rimless 30-30. If I was asked what cartridge 10mm auto was based on I would not have thought 30-30

So basically a turing complete programming language is one in which it's possible to write a compiler for that language in that language.

It's interesting that this is based on the premise that paradoxes cannot exist in the real world. Can that be proved?

These guys are getting paid while I'm out here doing this for free.

This is literally exactly what ive been saying for years. The amish are right about technology

The mov instruction in x86 is turing complete and someone made a c compiler with it. This is why RISC-V is better. Simplicity is better in the long run.

I like windows.

The fact that humans can reattach fingers and stuff is crazy.
You cut your finger off? Just sew it back on, that works most of the time!

Macron is actually pulling the nation-state equivalent of "I didn't do the homework, can you just give me the answers"

Is this a bad thing?

I can confidently say that if anyone asks me what the saddest song ive ever heard is my answer will be Dearest Sarah by the band Goodnight, Texas
