nice triples, m9!
Not quite tech, but kinda related. One of the best books I've ever read. Really fuckin blows your mind.

The Communist Manifesto

"Why Johnny Can't Read".
It's about the pathetic attempts by Golden Showers to become even semi-literate.

Great Thoughts, by Donald Trump. It's a very short book.

get a load of the preprocessor directives at the start of new testament ; )

the science of enlightement by shinzen young

>>60567753
Ohh edgy

Hillary Clinton's hit list.

It's a very long book though. I suggest the audio version read by Alex Jones.

1984

Two questions:

1) what software is best to follow the logic gate circuit examples in the book? Logisim? Cedar Logic? Anything else?

2) why are flip-flops (and circuits heavily based on negating like NOR and NAND) so unintuitive in how they work?

(3) not really related to CODE directly: why can all circuits be built with NAND or NOR gates, but not with AND or OR? Is it because the negating gates "change" the state while the non-negating don't?)

I think I see your problem.

>>60569155
regarding 3:
You need to be able to negate an input to have a functionally complete set
e.g. AND, OR, NOT werks.
So does only NAND because you can combine NANDs in a way that you get all three boolean functions
The general proof of it is not accessible to brainlets but you can easily check a set of boolean functions to see if they are functionally complete

>>60569667
The third one was an additional and only loosely related one (and put in parentheses due to that).

>Logisim
1. you shouldn't really need so much, you dont have to follow it completely , hit the "i believe" button and learn the conceptual idea being taught first.. then if you want to lick the ass , go for it

2. unintuitivity is subjective. you cant change how nand works. the only thing you can change is your perception of it...

3. just go with it....honestly, someone out there knows, but not me.. i dont know all

>1. you shouldn't really need so much, you dont have to follow it completely , hit the "i believe" button and learn the conceptual idea being taught first.. then if you want to lick the ass , go for it

I thought it's better for understanding if you rebuild the circuits and then experiment a bit. Logisim and Cedar Logic are the programs which I found looking suitable, but maybe someone knows something else (possibly even better).

>2. unintuitivity is subjective. you cant change how nand works. the only thing you can change is your perception of it...
It's that the flip-flops are somewhat difficult to get a good feel for and understand intuitively _why_ they work as they do. By comparison, and half-adder, adder, or even stacked adders are fairly easy to grasp intuitively, but circuits relying much on NOR/NAND gates get much confusing and non-intuitive in how they work.

when i was learning how binary was handled i had some confusion along the lines of linguistic definition:

false means that there is a true state of being of false (is is false? equates to true)

mind-fuckingly annoying

Go to lainchan ebooks section

Huxley's Brave New World. He predicted our society decades in advance and more and more of his predictions come true every day. First it was the over of contraceptives, now most people are slaves to pills, and soon enough VR porn will be as popular as the Feelies were in the book. Other predictions include the normalization of having a sexual partner count in the triple digits, and the phasing out of classic literature.

Has there ever been a more perfect exposition of a programming language?

>>60569155
1. Logisim is perfectly solid. There's a newer fork of it if you really care, but Logisim will do everything you need.

2. They're intuitive because unlike "intuitive" circuits that can easily be analyzed in a linear fasion, flip-flops and related circuits use the circuits current state as an input for it's next state.

3. It is entirely due to negation. By placing one signal on both inputs of a NAND/NOR gate, it will be negated.
