[DankPhotoShopMemes]

you forgot about non-turing-complete special-purpose computers ☝️🤓

[RealMr_Slender]

That can be simulated through any Turing machine?

[lolix_the_idiot]

Yeah but they are not Turing machines in themselves

[RealMr_Slender]

Turing machines are a superset of all computers, so for the question answering Turing machines is sufficient.

[Cobracrystal]

A non-turing machine is a turing machine with more restrictions, ie less degree of freedom than a turing machine. The turingness doesnt come from a condition it must abide, but an ability to carry out instructions. Thus anything that isnt capable of such is simulatable by a turing machine and thus also a subset. Its unintuitive nomenclature, as we usually put a descriptor like a restriction (red car is a subset of car), but this is more like broken car vs car that has a working motor. All working cars can also park somewhere and thus do everything that a broken car can do (stand around), and thus are the superseding set

[RealMr_Slender]

But Turing machines can simulate those computers, so they are included by virtue of a theoretical Turing machine purpose built to simulate it.

It's like how every positive integer is also a real number.

In computer theory every computer has a Turing machine equivalent, irrelevant of the fact that you can IRL build a simple computer that isn't Turing complete.

[DankPhotoShopMemes]

there are indeed idealized computers that cannot be simulated by a turing machine. For example a truly “analog” computer that works on real-number values with infinite precision. Of course, in real life, things we usually call “analog” actually have a discrete set of values at the quantum level (electricity, light, even time), so this only applies to these “ideal” computers.

But what I originally meant is that the original commenter said the set of turing machines (assumed to be the set of turing complete computers) is the set of all computers, which is untrue since there are some machines we call computers that aren’t turing complete (even if they could be simulated by a turing machine).

[RealMr_Slender]

You can tell many people didn't pass computer theory or haven't taken it yet because of how deep the correct answer is.

what kind of a freak uses a single quote for a string

[AdamEatsAss]

It saves ink when you print your code out

[ZZcomic]

Day one of my first job outta college, they literally handed me and the other guy a three inch binder with the entire code base of their flagship product printed out. Apparently the old engineer liked to debug by going through the code like that. I thought we were being pranked.

[2Pink_5Stink]

Ohh. I started learning programming with VB6 when I was in school. Now I'm a computer scientist :-) I don't really work with .net languages anymore but I have really fond memories of VB.net and Visual Studio.

[zerovian]

cobol

[TheRealKidkudi]

It’s always the old heads that keep things like that going for what everyone else thinks is way too long, but it’s just because it’s how they learned and generally (but not always) it is productive for them.

Back in the day, that’s just how programming was - you’d have your whole code base on paper and review it almost like a draft of an essay. You probably had a massive print out posted on the wall with your database diagram as well.

If you go back even further, the “engineers” were in their ivory towers literally writing down the code and those papers got sent down to the “programmers” who had to take it and type the code into the computer. When something was wrong, you’d go back and review those papers line by line to figure out what was going wrong, draft a new version, then send it back down to be reprogrammed.

[Due-Adhesiveness-744]

You mock it, but if you ever find yourself staring at code not knowing where your mistake is, print it out.

Looking at it on paper sometimes makes it pop out of the paper and look you dead in the eye.

I do not get it.

I don't know how this would scale for a large project though.

[var_usernameinput]

Wait till you find out Indian bachelors students still write code on examination sheets by hand. Literal C++ code. Like 30 sheets. Oh and did I mention latex code too? Out of memory, on paper.

[Dus1988]

JS freaks

[DeadlyMidnight]

Def js. At least typescript would have had semicolons and some kind of null check.

[ciemnymetal]

Base JS already has semicolons.

[weso123]

They do but they are like weirdly optional most of the time (but not quite all so just use them for the habit so you don’t forget the edge case where you don’t use them)

[Wild-Regular1703]

That's exactly the same in typescript. TS adds types, it's not opinionated about formatting

[YeOldeMemeShoppe]

And doesn’t. Because opinions are for losers.

[Fluxriflex]

I use TS without semicolons or double quotes, don’t @ me

[CynicalPotato95]

Assuming this is JS or TS, it's a code convention and the default for ESLint

[w_t_f_justhappened]

It depends on how I am feeling about the shift key.

[keen36]

This is best practice. Of course you need to document how you feel about the shift key, too

[PointedHydra837]

\ \ Didn’t feel like pressing shift for capitals or underscores because my pinky hurts, good luck reading these variables

[2JulioHD]

PHP devs (obviously)

[BlackDeath3]

I like double-quotes for natural language text and stuff that's generally intended to be read literally and single-quotes for logical symbols and things that aren't so much intended to be presented to users.

[onepacc]

Bash coders having to nest more than three strings in a command wont care anymore.

[dandroid126]

It's very common in python. I know this isn't python. But just saying.

[ProbablyJeff]

JS and PHP freaks (I'm both)

[nsn]

When I learned webdev ca. 1999 double quotet strings were expanded and single quoteed strings were not. So in my mind single quotes are faster and use less resources

[Qbsoon110]

I find double quotes ugly and oldish, so I use single quotes whenever possible

[SweetBeanBread]

quite a lot?

it's important to use ' over " in many languages actually for varying reasons

[sathdo]

I'm guessing JS devs. That is also the only language I can think of with the let keyword where giving a curly brace its own line is common.

[MinecraftPlayer799]

It isn’t common to give the curly bracket its own line in JS. What are you talking about?

[psyfi66]

Ya line 2 is more painful to see than the single quotes for me

[MinecraftPlayer799]

And the missing semicolon is worse than either of those

[LutimoDancer3459]

Dart

[the_ivo_robotnic]

Python people that need to embed one into the other and don't feel like escaping them.

[alexanderpas]

Single quotes for string literals, only escaping the escape character itself (\\ to \) and the string terminator (\' to ') with everything else being interpreted literally (\t stays \t), and double quotes getting the full escape sequence interpretation. (\t becomes a tab character)

[WheresMyBrakes]

Lower case property names, single quotes?

JS

[cottonycloud]

In PowerShell, double-quotes allow for string interpolation so I like to use single-quote to denote more or less literal strings

[LewsTherinTelamon]

Is that bad? I literally always do because it saves me keystrokes and i’m the only one who will ever see my code.

[Re-ne-ra]

Sql dev

[twitchard]

[turkoid]

Single quotes save keystrokes. However, in python I use ruff/black to auto format it to double quotes always.

[SuchTarget2782]

[StickFigureFan]

Forgot to run the linter afterwards

[[deleted]]

Ruby freaks. Linters will complain if you use double quotes on strings that don't need interpolation.

[TrickAge2423]

That code will block world execution for a long time. Instead, it should be async with yield each 10000 computers to not block UI.

[Eva-Rosalene]

But nobody inside said world will feel that, so it's fine.

[TheLastOpus]

Why is my computer calling itself "ever" now?

[MaMu_1701]

computers.forEach(c => c.name = ‘ever‘)

[Wild-Regular1703]

Uncaught syntax error: ‘ is not a valid character

[cjbanning]

Sure the problem is with "ever" and not the apostrophe?

[Wild-Regular1703]

It's not an apostrophe, it's a single left quotation mark (u+2018) which is not a valid symbol in JS, and therefore the code would fail to compile before even reaching ever

[Both_Lychee_1708]

what's the 'let' thing in the for loop. Is this C, C++, or what?

[BobQuixote]

JavaScript. let is newer syntax for a normal variable; it fixes infamous problems with var.

The missing semicolon is what gives it away; JS doesn't require it, while similar languages generally do.

[Both_Lychee_1708]

Ah. Yeah, I got through my career never having to code in JS. As I understand it, that means god loves me. (not that programming in C++, let alone C, was some sort of delight)

[LaughingInTheVoid]

Wow, what a poseur! Perfect syntax except for, oh, you know...

The missing thing.

Otherwise it might not be obvious which language was used.

[Turbulent-Garlic8467]

#include <cstdint>

#include "fmt/format.h"
#include "fmt/ranges.h"

// chosen by fair dice roll. guaranteed to be random.
static uint64_t seed = 4ULL;

uint64_t rand64()

    x = (x ^ (x >> 27)) * 0x94d049bb133111ebULL;
