Sure, but what about Trick IMPLIES Treat?

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?

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.

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." :)

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.

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.

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

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

What is xnor and when did that become a thing?

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.

That's the reason I set up Home Assistant. I'm not smart enough for wiring.

Wiring a staircase switch is actually very easy, you pretty much just need two wires going from one switch to another and then a light.

Your light switches also has to be three way switches but afaik most switches in my country are that, so you can pretty much use any switch.

I was gonna say lol that's a fancy way of describing three-ways

Fun fact, you can put as many 4-ways in between those 3-ways as you want, or as many as your electrician will agree to anyway. You can switch the same light from a dozen spots if you really want to.

"The light won't turn off! Now to hunt down the ONE SWITCH in the house that's flipped...hnngg...."

Troll electricianship would be hilarious entertainment.

I understand it now, but I'll have it forgotten in five minutes. I'm a software engineer, this here is dark magic to me. Well, not this, but more complicated stuff. I envy you all for your big, juicy brains.

Oh, I am no electrician. I an IT admin.

Being an electrician would be pretty high on the list of things to do if I weren't allowed to work in IT though. Seems fairly fun.

That's at least magic I understand kind of 😅

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

so AND. Always AND.

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

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

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.

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

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

Comments from other communities

Would "Trick NOT Treat" include only the area of Trick that does not overlap Treat?

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be "Trick AND NOT Treat".

This has explained the logic gates to me in a way I'd never understood before.. And for that I'm glad.

*Trick or treat* is a threat. They can’t refuse you treats because of the implication.

Me (15 years old): "Go on then, show us a trick! **snickers derisively**
Me (5 minutes later, wiping the windows): **how the hell did they hide that many eggs under a cape**

  • RPN: OR Trick Treat

  • Async multithreading: Treat Trick (loop closed) OR (stack trace)

So this is one of the cases where XOR is contextually meant by "or". Although people have been known to do trick anyway, and it's of course an empty threat most of the time, so more like treat CONST ~trick. Speaking of, where's my identity, implication, inhibition and null Halloweens?

Trick XNOR treat is the definite chaotic option. Your house gets egged if and only if you give them candy.

It really bothers me that these aren't organized correctly.

While I do get most of them, I'm really confused by NOR and XNOR.

Why is there suddenly and out of bound mask outside the circles? (If that does make sense :/)

PS: sorry for the serious question XD I probably don't get the joke?

Outside the circles are the rest of the universe. i.e. all of the spaces where neither TRICK nor TREAT are true.

Edit: oh, why is a face there and not just orange? I think because it's cute.
