The condition of Turing completeness is almost always explained in terms of the Turing machine. Naturally. A Turing machine is simply a hypothetical black box that performs a small set of mathematical ...

The solution to the difficulty of having to prove that you can implement every or any Turing machine is to notice that if a Turing machine can compute anything that is computable than there should be ...

In 1999’s The Matrix, life as we know it is actually a virtual reality abstraction; a collection of well-shaped zeroes and ones which add up to an utterly convincing simulation of the real world.

You may or may not know, but printf is a Turing-complete language, once you exploit all the strange and wonderful format characters in it (especially %n). But who has time to write code as printf ...
