Dr. Matthew Regan has been the man of the hour in our little magazine a few times already. His videos might not be as legendary as, say, those of a Ben Eater. However, they match these in terms of informational content and originality.

The Doc tends to delve deeper into specific issues, which admittedly, isn't everyone's cup of tea. This could also be the case with one of his most interesting exploits, which he wrote about a few days ago here for spectrum.ieee.org.

What's it all about? The seeming incompatibility between the concept of a Turing machine and that of a von Neumann computer.

Sounds intriguing? It is. What Matthew does is simulate the instruction set of the MOS6502 on a Turing machine in such a way that any software compatible with the 8-bit'er can subsequently be run on it.

If that isn't meat on the bone! 🍖

In any case, both the article and the accompanying video are a very clear recommendation!
