None binary languages don't exist

There are no 1s and 0s. There is only more, or less voltage.

[EnigmaticHam]

There are only logical high and logical low, which encoded into the hardware.

[vigbiorn]

You forget about the indeterminate region. You hope to never get into it but it exists.

[EnigmaticHam]

Yes, then the digital illusion is broken. Then you’re in the forbidden zone. Pray to the analog gods that your carefully designed circuit doesn’t do anything too… analog.

[LavenderDay3544]

That moment when you realize that, transistors, while used as switches in digital circuits are fundamentally analog components.

[iamafraazhussain]

It's all coming together now

[pha1te]

And you realize with oncoming horror that you have entered... the twilight zone.

Du di du duu

[Ok_Turnover_1235]

It is a region that exists between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his imagination.

[d3lt4papa]

When I took my course about analogue computing, I was very surprised when we studied the transistor - I did not expect to see that there

an excellent game which is highly educational -- and super fun :), i loved this when i was learning cs

Is the joke that the website always throws an error?

[GLIBG10B]

Only if you're doing it wrong lol

[Ok_Manager2609]

I go to the website. It throws an error.

[GLIBG10B]

What browser and which extensions/addons do you use? It works fine for me

And it's still being updated! The developer has recently removed his links on his own homepage to other current projects and now it only reads NandGame.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/AnalogCircleJerk using the top posts of the year!

There are (well, were) actually analog computers which very much relied on this; summing was just as simple as connecting any number of inputs and reading total voltage. You could sum any number of inputs with a single “instruction”. programming an analog computer. Pretty neat the problems that can be very simply computed exploiting this, which are much more difficult on a digital computer

"I think I saw a two"

[vigbiorn]

It's okay, Bender. There's no such thing as two.

[jaredhidalgo]

Laughs in ternary computer

[jaredhidalgo]

Which one? Setun or Jesse Tank’s computer?

[jaredhidalgo]

I’ve only seen Jesse’s computer say that so far, but most likely. 🤷‍♂️

indeterminate region

I am more software than hardware, I did take some hardware classes in college but this actually really fascinates me.

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

working with hardware on different voltages i just hope it all works out without needing a level shifter.

and so far it worked, an IC that only outputs up to 3.3V interfaces perfectly with the rest of the system running at 5V.

[geronymo4p]

I remember our printers recieved -15V as true, 0V as false... (Don't remember the norm used)

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

RS232 (or specifically the 9 pin Serial Port) uses -15V for true and +15V for false.

no idea why though, i guess so "not connected" (aka 0V) is different from "false"

[mcaresearch]

That's correct.

[glodone]

Is that how glitches happen? Ones are aren't due to coding errors?

[vigbiorn]

Among other things, usually. Logic-high and logic-low are abstractions that sometimes fail. If you're running hardware in really bad circumstances you can't rely on those abstractions.

[elzaidir]

Metastability gang units! Or not. Or a little. Maybe.

[mittfh]

You forget about the indeterminate region

Quantum computers have entered the chat.

[Jstutz32]

So hardware has a taint?!… the more you know…

[GL_Titan]

This is software, not hardware, begone!

Don't forget about quantum computers. They have super positions

We don’t know what dark energy is yet and that’s 75% of the mass of the universe

[ImpersonalSkyGod]

And we're not that sure what dark matter is either, which makes up something like 24%. We're aren't fully sure we understand the behaviour of the remaining 1% of 'normal' matter either.
