  • Such a good picture. The gap under the door must be huge though for a phone to pass through.

    If at all possible, don't put drawers and doors in places were they can block each other like this. If space is limited and there was no other choice, so be it, but otherwise it's the owner's fault.

    Man these kitties are adorable!

  • The worst part is it wasn't a tradition at all. XT-22 was just an asshole.

  • That's interesting. I'll have to read up on that. You're right, I am thinking about boolean algebra.

    In the mean time though, I'll note that Boolean algebra on Wikipedia also refers to this operation, so I'm not alone:

    Material conditional

    The first operation, x → y, or Cxy, is called material implication. If x is true, then the result of expression x → y is taken to be that of y (e.g. if x is true and y is false, then x → y is also false). But if x is false, then the value of y can be ignored; however, the operation must return some Boolean value and there are only two choices. So by definition, x → y is true when x is false (relevance logic rejects this definition, by viewing an implication with a false premise as something other than either true or false).

    It also uses the second interpretation that I mentioned in my earlier comment (4 above this one), with true being default, rather than the one we've been discussing.

  • The comment you replied to is my response to this. It's the only boolean operation that works this way. All the others are straightforward.

  • Trick XOR Treat

  • Yeah, that kinda works but I don't like it. See my reply to the other comment.

  • Yup, that's my interpretation too. It just doesn't sit well with all the other operators.

    All the others are phrased as direct questions about the values of A and B:

    • A AND B = "Are A and B both true?"
    • A OR B = "Are either A or B true, or both?"
    • A NAND B = "Is (A AND B) not true?"
    • A IMPLIES B = "Is it possible, hypothetically speaking, for it to be the case that A implies B, given the current actual values of A and B?"

    You see the issue?

    Edit: looking online, some people see it as: "If A is true, take the value of B." A implies that you should take the value of B. But if A is false, you shouldn't take the value of B, instead you should use the default value which is inexplicably defined to be true for this operation.

    This is slightly more satisfying but I still don't like it. The implication (ha) that true is the default value for a boolean doesn't sit right with me. I don't even feel comfortable with a boolean having a default value, let alone it being true instead of false which would be more natural.

    Edit 2: fixed a brain fart for A NAND B

  • I never got why "implies" is called that. How does the phrase "A implies B" relate to the output's truth table?

    I have my own "head canon" to remember it but I'll share it later, want to hear someone else's first.

  • "Israeli newspaper Haaretz published interviews with IDF soldiers who admitted they were ordered to open fire on unarmed Palestinians trying to collect food at GHF distribution points."

  • Good find, thank you. Horrifying.

    Worth noting that this is from June, which was 4 months ago.

  • Can anyone find an actual reference to the Haaretz interviews? Hebrew or English, I want to see them.

    What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed?

  • Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?

  • The writing in the game is actually an alternate way to write English phonetically/phonemically. So the game technically is in English but you can't understand it. There are guides on how to read it, but it always seemed like too much effort for me so I never did.

  • What would the moral choice here be?

    Jump

  • I'd probably go with the last option.

    The answer IMO depends a lot on what kind of shop it is. Basically how scummy they are. Their refusal to refund the damaged pair makes them sound kinda scummy.
