You forgot 0 and everything.

Trick TRUE Treat?

Trick FALSE Treat?

I don't remember what we called those in my intro comp sci class.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but what about Trick IMPLIES Treat?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It would be ((trick nor treat) or treat) so basically all the non-circle region and the treat circle is filled............

After writing this, i am wondering if you actually needed the information or was it just the funny thing to say...

Guys am I autistic?

Guys am I autistic?

Haha might be? But I'm the same way and I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic...(ADHD though)

I think when you fill that spot between (("knowledgable") AND ("good-natured")), you just like to share what you know if the poster's sarcasm isn't painfully apparent.

Never hurts to be kindly helpful. It reminds me of something my sister told me she tells her kids:

"Try to learn something new every day, and even if you don't, teach something." :)

I had to double-take since in Python a common alternative to trick ? treat : notreat is (trick and treat) or notreat

But I don't think this translates to overlapping circles very well. "trick implies treat" is only defined inside the trick circle, outside is undefined if treat is true or not.

I'm not going to draw a diagram, but here's the "truth table" for A implies B:

A, B, A -> B
N, N, undefined
N, Y, undefined
Y, N, false
Y, Y, true

If A is false, A -> B is true regardless of what B is, so the two undefined terms in your truth table should be true.

So it is fairly easily translated into a shaded Venn Diagram. It's simply everything shaded aside from Trick only.

Toasted pumpkin seeds:

Using running water seperate seeds from pumpkin guts. Soak them in salt water while you carve. Preheat and bake at 220C for 15-20 mins. Eat them whole.

Add flavoured salts for more variety. I'm partial to Tajin or Montreal Steak Spice.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Cinnamon and sugar ftw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

And butter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

the whole seeds do taste good but its a bit like chewing up some bits of wood

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

This is just great

That's every other day of the year

What is xnor and when did that become a thing?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

XNOR (Exclusive NOR) is the opposite of XOR (Exclusive OR)

A way to remember XOR is "must have one or the other but not both" XNOR is the opposite so it's "must have both or none" so both inputs must be 1 or 0.

XNOR or XOR is very common in homes with staircases so that you can turn on and off the light in the staircase regardless of which floor you are on.

If you google staircase switches, you will be told that they mostly use XOR but according to the wiring diagrams they use XNOR.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

XNOR is the opposite so it’s “must have both”

so AND. Always AND.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

My bad. It's "must have both or none"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Isn’t that the same as AND but with a lot of extra words?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

No, AND won't match 0,0 while XNOR will. An AND switch would be useless for a staircase.

AND also won't match 1,0 or 0,1 while XOR does.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I'm pretty sure that's not exclusive or, as in the not of XOR.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

It is essentially an equivalence gate: A==B.

no one else saw halloween boobs in the thumbnail? am I the only pervert on here?
