00:03:24 Turing-complete means that a programming language is capable of simulating a universal turing machine, or in a more general sense performing any computable calculation. 00:04:20 BF was formally proven by creating a UTM simulation, and thus any language that can calculate anything BF can is also turing-complete. 00:05:08 Turing-Completeness gains it's name from Alan Turing, a mathematician who wrote founding works about computability, and is in effect the father of Computer Science. 00:05:34 does my answer meet with your approval, Razor-X? 00:06:48 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing 00:07:59 No it does not :P. 00:08:10 Because you then follow the link on a Universal Turing Machine, and it's horrible. 00:09:52 <:| 00:10:15 it's not really any worse than coding in bitwise cyclic tag or the like... 00:15:36 The Universal Turing Machine was proven by Alan Turing to be capable of computing anything that can be expressed algorithmically. It's also the first Turing tarpit. 00:16:35 the concept of a "Turing Tarpit" came from attempts to (mathematically) design UTM's that could operate within arbitrary memory or symbol limitations. 00:17:30 Well... 00:17:34 WHAT IS IT? :P. 00:17:54 it's a theoretical, logical construct. An interpreter, of a kind. 00:18:24 turing machines of lore operate with a tape containing symbols, and a read/write head. 00:18:53 The tape is infinite. 00:19:03 in response to symbols, the head can perform changes upon symbols, move, or the machine can change modes, altering how it responds to symbols. 00:19:26 So it's a lot like an FSM and a Datapath? 00:20:01 these mappings of symbols to actions are analogous to an algorithm- a program. 00:20:34 Aha. So it is like an FSM and a Datapath. 00:21:08 somewhat 00:40:39 -!- pgimeno has joined. 00:41:07 -!- oerjanj has joined. 00:42:25 -!- oerjanj has quit (Client Quit). 02:51:56 -!- wooby has joined. 03:25:53 * pikhq is currently rather happy. . . 03:26:10 A friend of mine is currently writing a Dimensifuck implementation. 03:26:39 what's to be unhappy about, then? 03:26:48 Nothing. :D 03:27:08 oh, nvm- I read that as "rather unhappy". 03:27:09 lol 03:43:42 I'm going to get some sleep.

Always skeptical, we decided to put that claim to the test over a 10-month period. In our test, we ran Caldera Systems OpenLinux, Red Hat Linux, and Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 3 on duplicate 100MHz Pentium systems with 64MB of memory. Ever since we first booted up our test systems in January, network requests have been sent to each server in parallel for standa 10:13:58 - Steven J.

It's a similar process in more complex scripts. 10:23:20 You just try and hold the ``shape'' of the word in your head. 10:24:52 they experiment on kids 10:24:58 ciao, ..zzZZ time 10:25:07 and learn them whole words as symbols first 10:25:28 The fastest way to read a script is to read it as a word or a letter group instead of symbol-by-symbol. 10:25:34 theese kids in kindergarden can read faster than adults 10:26:02 A lot of adults can't read at all. 10:26:03 and then they learn letters to decipher unknown words 10:26:18 The more you read, the more you hone your ability to read faster. 10:26:18 -!- thematrixeatsyou has quit ("Cmoe on ebdoveryy, it's hlaf psat nnie o'colck in the envenig!"). 10:26:42 Most adults read the newspaper, do their bills, et voila. That's their excursion with words done for life. 10:27:18 i'm recognize words as symbols and i can read 3-4 at once there's no difference if it's Polish or English 10:27:39 I recognize words and letter-groups as symbols too. 10:27:51 It's fascinating to see if you're learning a whole new script, like Japanese. 10:28:07 well 10:28:16 i tried 10:28:37 I still read more-or-less character-by-character, but I've been doing it for long enough to have already made some mental word assosciations. 10:29:01 i don't get their scripts 10:29:13 What don't you get? 10:29:23 It's harder in Japanese because each script is used in different ways, so you develop different assosciations for different scripts. 10:29:49 i guess i'm too lazy even to discover that 10:29:49 After long enough, most people begin to like Kanji.
