There Will Be Penalty posted:why is the size of a byte only 8 bits? we'd never have to worry about stoopid multi-byte encodings if it were 32 bits! so loving spoiled, back in the day the largest byte was 6 bits and people were happy to have it. (the term was coined in the design of the predecessor to the series/360, the ibm stretch, which has bit-level addressing with a variable length "bite", reading/writing between 1 and 6 bits on any read/write).

President Beep posted:why do people even bother with c? b is much better. it was basically c without types, you can simulate the experience just fine by never using any type other than 'void*'.

Trabisnikof posted:i dare one of you motherfuckers to actually show me right here and now that the halting problem isn't solvable, go ahead i'll wait assume we have a program f such that f(g,x) answers yes if the program g halts running on input x, otherwise it answers no. then construct g(x)=if f(x,x) then while(1) {} else return now f(g,g) answers yes iff f(g,g) answes no, which is a contradiction.
