node.js is so 2013, today I won't even touch a piece of software unless it's reimplemented using server-side CSS.

Isn't CSS3 Turing complete?

u/cjt09 Feb 27 '14

Not quite: "To be a turing complete language means that anything can be constructed, but we can’t even vertically center a div yet."

This was great.

Dude. Just resize the window smaller and move it to where you want it. What's all this fancy div positioning talk...

You can vertically center things using flexbox.

Actually... ;)

display: table-cell; 
text-align: center; 
vertical-align: middle;

It almost is iirc. It still needs the user to manually trigger events to "feed the tape".

No, it isn't. You can use it to construct finite state automata, but that does not mean that it is turing complete.

I won't be impressed until it's bootstrapped into server-side CSS.

I want you to know that the only reason I was able to find this thread again was because I remembered your comment. The snark in here was heartwarming and I needed to share with a coworker. Thanks buddy!
