Does D correctly simulated by H terminate normally?

I never got any answer all that I got was gross disrespect.

That's because your reputation precedes you. You don't really discuss. You evaluate the people who respond to you and either discard them, ignore them, or "collect" them, kind of like sports trading cards.

Probably because of your attitude and behaviour.

I asked a straight forward software engineering question and never got any answer. All that I got was drastic downvotes and a bunch of grief.

I have been a professional C++ software engineer since 2004. I worked on the Air Force NPOESS satellite program, I automated the civil engineering process such that computer programs automatically create Autocad drawings, I maintained a bank's credit care dispute management system.

Well big deal; there are plenty of people here who have more, less or the same experience and skills. But unlike you they do not abuse the forums or the people who try to help them.

You're following your reputation to the letter. I still don't give a shit.

Initially people refused to answer my question because they thought it was a homework assignment. This was all of the initial feedback: refusing to answer. Then they created a whole new reason to refuse to answer.

Still not one single answer, just drastic vote downs and derision. This criteria does make the otherwise "impossible" input decidable. When simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D would never stop running unless aborted then H is necessarily correct to abort its simulation and reject this input as non-halting. It took me two years to boil it down to the above concise paragraph. People that are paying close attention will understand that it is a tautology, thus impossibly false.

People keep finding one excuse or another to dodge rather than answer my question. I just rewrote the question to make it much more clear.

You're still focused on "the question". At this point, it's irrelevant. We're focused on YOU and how you treat people. That's why I said your reputation precedes you. Your behavior and treatment of people on other sites killed any discussion you possibly had, and the same is happening here. Have a nice life.

People have consistently treated me badly the moment that they hear the subject matter, thus your assessment is objectively incorrect. Then when the precedent is established that people are treating me badly others follow this established precedent.

A singular point of view. It's easy to go look you up on other sites and read through the threads.

What exactly are you referring to about my behavior? From my point of view I ask a straight forward software engineering question and everyone makes sure to dodge the question with one excuse or another. I will change my behavior if that is the actual problem.

I don't understand what you are saying. I ask a straight forward software engineering question and everyone makes up one excuse or another to dodge the question.
