I don’t know how to understand that. I mean we’ve definitely never built an infinite tape Turing machine. But all the computation we’ve run can be modeled by a Turing machine.

What are you favorite, most interested, weirdest papers?
Looking for papers I’m unfamiliar with as I’m finishing up my advent of papers.

What if your database didn't actually have to do all that work to write transactions, but could just promise you it would do it later? It turns out lazy evaluation in databases is just as interesting as it is in languages!

@nprofile…s6x2 I’m familiar with the lenses bananas and barbed wire. But nothing else from that tradition. I’ll definitely check it out :)

Rather than trying to do advent of code, I'm doing advent of papers!

The goal is to force myself to read these papers and write about them quickly. Having to do it every day definitely feels a bit daunting. But hopefully fun!
For now, I think I'm steering clear of classics and focusing on weirder papers. But we will see as time goes by.
First paper is the wonderful Elephant 2000 by McCarthy. If you haven't seen his wonderful other language worth a read.
