Federal judicial service
On June 14, 1862, Fraser was nominated by President Abraham Lincoln to a seat on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida vacated by Judge McQueen McIntosh. Fraser was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 17, 1862, and received his commission the same day. Fraser served in that capacity until his death on July 26, 1876, in Montrose, Pennsylvania.[1]
gollark: I don't know exactly what its instruction set is like. But if it has finite-sized addresses, it can probably access finite amounts of memory, and thus is not Turing-complete.
gollark: *Languages* can be, since they often don't actually specify memory limits, implementations do.
gollark: It's not Turing-complete if it has limited memory.
gollark: Not *really*. In languages with an abstract model that doesn't specify limited memory sizes, yes, but PotatOS Assembly Language™'s addresses are 16 bits, so you can't address any more RAM than that.
gollark: Technically it's not even going to be Turing-complete because of the limited address space, unlike in BF.
