If you are not a Zionist, Israel<>Zionism<>Judaism.
The non Zionists are objectively correct, but Zionists are extremely good at intentionally not understanding this.
Its really no different than any member of any religion that cannot concieve of a non-objective, non-universal morality system.
They are brainwashed, propogandized, and cannot divorce the concepts, because they’ve been so strongly confounded and confabulated together in ways that are actually not logically consistent, but held together with an explicitly irrational faith.
!= is another one for ‘not equal’ in SQL, and a good deal of other languages, but I went with <> because of the ls and Is, <> is more visually distinct.
To some extent the SQL syntax also kind of makes sense… It’s a combination of both “greater than” and “smaller than” operators, which is kind of a different way of saying something is not equal.
The “!=” comes from most programming languages using the “!” character for negation. Negating something is usually read and pronounced “not”. So it literally reads “not equal” if you are reading the symbols.
The “!=” comes from most programming languages using the “!” character for negation. Negating something is usually read and pronounced “not”. So it literally reads “not equal” if you are reading the symbols.
And programming languages get it from math, where “inequality” is represented by the symbol “≠”, != is the closest you can get with ASCII.
Now what’s more interesting is that math uses “¬” to represent “not”, I bet there’s a telegraph keyboard from the 1940s that explains the reasons behind all this.
1I don’t really know why <> was chosen as the old school ‘not equal’ for the SQL syntax… I just know it by way of having been working with/in various forms of SQL for… 20+ years?
If I had to guess, it may have something to do with keeping the character set down to a bare minimum.
SQL is fucking old, its been improved and modified and evolved over the years, but, it was first invented and formalized back in 1973, when you still had computer (storage) memory as basically giant spools of magnetic tape, personal computers didn’t really exist yet, having 8 KiloBytes of RAM would have been considered astoundingly powerful, years ahead of its time.
Thats uh, 0.0000076294 GigaBytes of RAM, or I think about 512x less than what a basic Nintendo 64 had.
It’s common syntax in compsci, which I don’t have an education in. Yeah, I understand that there are specialised characters. I guess I’m just not pedantic enough to search how to create them on my desktop keyboard, or copy them from a web search, when I can approximate them using simple symbols and people understand what they mean. That would be like me pointing out that “≠” is an equivalency notifier which means “Is not equal to” and not “not equals” and that “<>” is actually a comparison symbol in the compendium of mathematical figures and does not actually notate equivalencies. Which could lead to a broader discussion on meaningful differences in mathematical symbols, based on the context within which, glossaries of mathematical notation are viewed. But, any insecure dickhead can google something and insert themselves into an interaction with a sense of superiority without actually engaging in any good faith discussion. So, I probably won’t. Have a nice day though!
I have an education in compsci, and I have worked in software engineering and platform engineering for 8 years now… And I only know of one programming language that makes use of “=/=” which is Erlang. Every other language or scientific papers I know of make use different operators.
Prolog comes close with “==”, and Haskell too with “/=”, but every other language has either used “!=”, “~=” or “<>”. The papers I have read that go for a more pseudo-code or mathematical notation has always used “≠”.
Its really simple:
If you are a Zionist, Israel=Zionism=Judaism.
If you are not a Zionist, Israel<>Zionism<>Judaism.

No way, TIL

His is a common syntax for not equals. Yours is just what people use when they dont know how to make the math symbol ≠
His is correct, yours isn’t. If you want to assert the math symbol is the only correct one, at least actually use it
