The usage of the terms truthy/falsy for... umm, exactly that... in computing contexts has stuck, if anything better than the Colbertian sense. I'm not saying it belongs here, but a "For ... see ..." template might. 76.73.175.43 ( talk) 09:41, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
How is this an article without referencing that this word was created to discredit Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarkamW ( talk • contribs) 07:56, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
As a non-American I'm wondering: do these terms actually pre-date Colbert's penning of the gut-truth definition or are they obvious references us foreigners couldn't possibly spot? In programming the adjectives "truthy" and "falsy" refer to values which evaluate to the booleans "true" and "false" (rather than the boolean values themselves). In JavaScript, for example, the numerical value "0" or the empty array "[]" would both be "falsy", other numerical values or non-empty arrays on the other hand would be "truthy". The terms are probably limited to dynamically typed languages, though some statically typed languages seem to allow using non-booleans as booleans (though this may be related to how booleans and boolean comparisons are implemented, so this may be very different). --- 78.35.107.83 ( talk) 16:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

On a similar vein, I could swear we referenced "truthiness" as an alternative to "topness" in my particle physics class from older papers. Might anyone know more? SamuelRiv ( talk) 20:39, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Is his concept of the "faitiche" ('factishness') not somehow related? See his 2010 book listed in the bibliography here: /info/en/?search=Bruno_Latour — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.179.75 ( talk) 18:39, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
As a part of WP:URFA/2020, I am reviewing this article. I have quite a few concerns regarding the FA status of this article. Currently, it needs significant work to retain that shining bronze star:
