Do you have a reference explaining why two exactly?


Any textbook on formal languages and automata. Michael Sipser’s is my favorite. Church Turing Thesis is sophomore CS stuff..

Two stacks can simulate a Turing Tape. E.g. moving left is simulated by popping off one stack and pushing onto other. One counter can encode the tape while the other is used to encode the tape position.


Would this reduce the resource overhead on Windows?

I originally switched to i3wm because it was kind to my resources and I stayed because I discovered the joys of tiling windows.


From the looks of it, it doesn't replace Windows Explorer desktop environment, it just hooks into the windows DWM apis in order to provide automatic tiling capabilities


You can use i3wm with Windows?


No, you cannot. I believe that the person you are replying to is stating the reasons for why they switched (and stayed with) i3 on Linux.


I don't have excessive time for social media so to silence my friends' nagging, I automated posting to twitter. My phone records the songs I listen to each day and posts them via a gist. My handle is @joshjstubbs, if you're curious.


I would imagine that in most cases it offsets poverty and starvation rather than escape from it.


Some people over-compress, though, until the point where the data becomes corrupt and the antivirus (our social attention span) quarantines it as a mild threat.


Reminds me of Scott Aaronson's Umeshisms[0]/Malthusianisms[1]. If you don't sometimes over-compress it means you're compressing too little and there's room for improving efficiency.

Also,

"Why do native speakers of the language you’re studying talk too fast for you to understand them? Because otherwise, they could talk faster and still understand each other."
