BIG_IF_TRUE

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 51 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

You're not the boss of me, now!

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

Stop singing and get back to work.

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

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 4 points 3 days ago

Youtube is giving you captchas? Ouch.

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

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Yorick@piefed.social 26 points 3 days ago

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 3 days 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 2 days ago

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

[-] fruitcantfly@programming.dev 18 points 2 days ago

I prefer the classic Bool:

enum Bool 
{ 
    True, 
    False, 
    FileNotFound 
};
[-] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Ah yes, the three genders.

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. 🤭

FAKE_NEWS (true but I don't like it)

[-] Klear@piefed.world 8 points 3 days ago

I also propose a new binary operator CARES_ABOUT_YOUR_FEELINGS

PANTS_ON_FIRE,

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days 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

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'd have gone with "truthy" and "falsy", but I like the cut of the jib all the same

Damn JavaScript

[-] ranzispa@mander.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

I'm confused as to the use of double true.

I've been running a query adding TRUE entries to other TRUE entries, but I just get TRUE as result.

[-] 33550336@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

This is just reinvention of Łukasiewicz multi-valued logic

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

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