As the NOT operator is applying to both the IN and LEFT, should it not be written:
Not(in, left) complete? 
Otherwise "not in" gives us "out" and "left" becomes a clue for "right"
|

To be honest, I got "Not in" as "out", and "Outright" leapt to mind immediately.
I'd call it a good clue.

You use Lisp don't you?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

For some reason, DeMorgan’s theorem is popping into my head.
NOT( x AND y)
NOT x OR NOT y
Does CCC have any standard hints to imply these operations?

It s a cryptic crossword , you have to work out the implications of the clue yourself

I bought a laptop. A screaming monster of a Lenovo with an i9-13900HX Intel processor and an NVidia RTX 4090 in it.
I bought it to run linux on a machine small enough to keep in my workspace and so when I visit my sister we could game together.
I don't usually buy laptops. I spent $4500 USD on one and it was stolen twice, recovered fortunately both times, and finally died when I dropped it. The one I had after that I spent much less on, and it was stolen. That time it had all my hours logged for work that week. What a mess. It wasn't the money I was out on the laptop in that case, but the fact that work related stuff got messed up.
And that's the thing. Even with source control, laptops are a liability. Consequently I don't use them - typically.
But I almost need one if I want to continue my ARM stuff as I refuse to dualboot my primary machine, and VMs interfere with some of the stodgy USB tools I have for linux for coding these arm boards. I don't have room for another desktop. Finally the clincher was, my sister and I are pretty close, and whenever I'm over there we want to game together, but my desktop is all tempered glass, heavy, fragile, and hard to transport.
So in the end I went and treated myself to a monster of a machine. I got a smokin deal on it.

As an aside, I was pretty amused that this site won't take orders on Saturday, due to Shabbat. It's not something I was expecting in the age of instant everything all the time online.

Sweet buy. Jealous.
Interesting coincidence as I am going through the same buying search.
Had Lenova many moons ago and it lasted and lasted.

Honey,
Have a good weekend.

Scuze me who are you?
And I don't know what it is you think you know about me, but you don't.

Keep in mind Lenovo was IBM back then. A few years back it was acquired by a Chenese company(only the Lenovo brand, not the IBM) so don't count on the "lasted" part.

Understood. I forgot about the IBM selling Lenova. You are right.

Not exactly, Lenovo is a Chinese company which bought IBM's personal computer business back in 2005. Maybe you thought of Thinkpad, brand of IBM laptops sold then.

I have owned two ThinkPad laptops from after the Lenovo acquisition. The first one died at around 9 years old, and the second is 7 years old and still working very well.

I found that a few years ago, ordering some photographic equipment. Why should the site work at all if they simply don't allow ordering? Bizarre.

I'm wondering if it was the same site - B&H Photo?
Apparently they are very popular.
Edit: I'm guessing there's someone that has to process the order somehow the way their backend works. It must not be fully automated.

Well, yes, I had hoped that it would be clear that I meant them. To the best of my recollection I ordered some 8mm movie film.

I am guessing that when you look at the site, you're only 'looking' which is allowed on shabbat. Taking an order constitutes a financial transaction and is probably regarded differently.

I'm guessing it's the "Writing" prohibition: This includes all forms of writing and drawing.
Typing, printing, and using a rubber stamp all come under this heading.
The main objective of writing is the keeping of records, and therefore, the spirit of the law forbids any activity normally requiring a written record. Thus, the Sanhedrin forbade all sorts of business activity, as well as marriage and divorce on the Sabbath. (Note 20)
Calculations and measurements are also included, since they also normally involve writing. Since taking an order would involve making a record, a strict interpretation would allow the site to remain, but ordering to be forbidden as you'd have to update a database.
I'm not Jewish though, so I could be well wrong!

Which is all well and good, but surely even tracking my search, writing to temporary tables, writing to a cookie on my system, is still a violation if they want to get like that.
And out-sourcing the data center would surely resolve any issues they may still have.
An online search is not equivalent to "window shopping" when a shop is closed.
Anyway, I find it bizarre that they don't simply put up a "closed for Shabbat, come back tomorrow" splash screen. It would be a lot more helpful.

Keeping to the Shabbat can get quite a bit more bizarre than that: Why There's a Single, Tiny Wire Encircling Manhattan - YouTube[^]

Oh, I knows it. But the Lounge is no place for such things.

I think that we can take it as read that all religions have practices or beliefs that appear bizarre to outsiders. And yes, the Lounge is the wrong place for this discussion.
