Yes. In opposites and in lack of data (null). Ternary thus fits better.

Back in ancient CS classes my prof said that was a Russian attempt of building ternary processors with +1, 0, -1 represented as voltages.

Another strike in for-ternary column is that it's the most efficient in the number of digits for representing numbers. Pi is optimally efficient but non-integer bases would break anyone's brain, I think.

What? Where? In face that statement is not true pretty much everywhere. 50% of electricity in Hungary is nuclear. 80% in France. 50% coal in Poland, 30 % solar in Spain.

Sadly a missed opportunity for calling it mushroom pilfering.

I was today's years old when I learned what Scroll Lock was used for. And I've not had a keyboard with it for about 15 years.
