ooh the mirror trick is quite handy. i don’t think i’ve heard that one before. i’ll keep that one in my back pocket in case i ever need it some day. i can’t remember exactly how i learned what they meant, but i think it was probably u for union and n for ntersection.
i also think the "etymology" of the boolean symbols is very helpful in remembering which is which. in lattice theory, their use was inspired by similar notation in set theory. so, A ∨ B
is like A ∪ B
, while A ∧ B
is like A ∩ B
.
generally, A ∨ B
is "the smallest thing that's greater than or equal to both A and B", while A ∧ B
is "the biggest thing that's less than or equal to both A and B". similarly to how A ∪ B
is "the smallest set that contains both A and B", while A ∩ B
is "the largest set that's contained in both A and B". you can also take things a step further by saying that in the context of sets, A ≤ B
means A ⊆ B
. doing this means that A ∨ B = A ∪ B
, while A ∧ B = A ∩ B
. and from this perspective, the "sharp-edged" symbols (<
, ∧
, ∨
) are just a generalization of their "curvy" counterparts (⊂
, ∩
, ∪
).
in the context of boolean algebra, you can set False < True
, which at first may seem a bit arbitrary, but it agrees with the convention the that False = 0
and True = 1
, and it also makes A ∨ B
and A ∧ B
have the same meanings as described above.
i feel like i’ve been using latex for so long that at this point my brain has been rewired to see ≤ as ‘\le’ (less than or equal to) and ≥ as ‘\ge’ (greater than or equal to), and then this dictates how i view < and > as well
i think you better choose your next words carefully lest you find yourself on the wrong side of the war on christmas
just imagine if we were sharks. we could do this shit like once a week forever

if cows could be on the C++ committee i would eat nothing but hamburgers
Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”
something that this article didn't mention is that jesse walters' current marriage started as an affair: he started dating his current wife while he was married to his previous wife. (source)
yet another example of every accusation being a confession.
how the fuck could they have possibly done things in a way that makes explorer tabs depend on recall?
if they can’t even separate out recall from the rest of the operating system then i have absolutely no faith it will be secure.
can you do reddit next please
poor guy spent so much time on reddit that he forgot women exist
if luigi hypothetically did participate in this plan, wouldn’t that itself be a crime (accessory to murder)? so they could still get him for something if they found out about the plan, but probably for less than if he did actually kill someone. i’m not a lawyer though so i don’t really know how this stuff works or if it would even be feasible to prosecute him for any of those things (if he did them)
