BIG_IF_TRUE

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 34 points 1 week ago

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question?

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

You're not the boss of me, now!

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago

You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big! Life is unfair...

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Stop singing and get back to work.

I'm curious of what that means, but that link put me through five captchas in a row and I ran out of patience.

[-] Klear@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

Youtube is giving you captchas? Ouch.

It's a Monty Python sketch. Here it is in text form.

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks! I'm on a VPN using graphene, so that's probably why YouTube doesn't like me.

FAKE_NEWS (true but I don't like it)

[-] Klear@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago

I also propose a new binary operator CARES_ABOUT_YOUR_FEELINGS

May I introduce the VHDL STD library where you can set an output to "don't care":

Wikipedia IEEE-1164

As an embedded electronics engineer discovering VHDL was a blast and a mindfuck!

[-] white_nrdy@programming.dev 13 points 1 week ago

Don't worry, VHDL is still a mindfuck sometimes even after being an FPGA engineer for years (mostly only using VHDL). It's such a cool language, and I am glad you discovered and are enjoying it!

[-] blibla@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

its just what most people what vall illegal state or impossible?

[-] fruitcantfly@programming.dev 18 points 1 week ago

I prefer the classic Bool:

enum Bool 
{ 
    True, 
    False, 
    FileNotFound 
};
[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, the three genders.

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If this classic isn't linked from that Wikipedia article (I never checked) it really should be. Like the "static cling" image, evnen encyclopedias need to know when to step out of formal style. 🤭

DOUBLE_PLUS_UNTRUE

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like

if myBoolean == TRUE
then blah
else if myBoolean == FALSE
then blah blah
else if myBoolean is null
then blah blah blah

Ever since we've always laughed at the "trinary bit".

👎 = false
🫳 = maybe
🤌 = Italian false

Damn JavaScript

OK and NOT_OK

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This is just reinvention of Łukasiewicz multi-valued logic

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Quantum computer booleans. True/False/Everything in between.
