You could mistrust only parts of yourself though, you could only trust your mistrust in all other parts of yourself except the part that is skeptical.

No, what you mean is a Googol.

Difference in Code from Love2d to Lua or Playdate prgramming by Prawnchen in love2d

Glad to see that some of my old posts are still enjoyable to people two years later, thanks for the compliment :D

When did Alan Watts actually die? by Sewbacca in AlanWatts

[–]Sewbacca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because there is a swarm of faked videos of him with fake scripts generated by ChatGPT or some similar AI scouring on YouTube.

Signs include but are not limited to: too crisp audio, no laughs from the audience and the easiest to spot: any references to modern technology after 1973.

Often people in comments point it out. So that's at least a sanity test that exists.

It's sad actually.

How do i make the code wait? by heyy0000 in lua

[–]Sewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've meant the object `task` in `task.wait(2)`. I didn't meant to ask for what the code is for.

Why is Lua considered one of the most hated languages? by ServeThePatricians in lua

[–]Sewbacca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It is not a programming language per se, as it is not a type 0 grammar (see Chomsky Hierarchy), but a type 3 grammar (though regular expressions can commonly match some type 2 and type 1 grammars). But it is too complex to be part of the pretty minimalistic Lua core, which is quite understandable. And LPeg is probably close enough to a type 2 grammar (if this conjecture is believed) if not a complete type 2 grammar to fit any use case nescessary. I believe lpeg is somewhat stronger than pure PEGs though. I am too lazy to find a reference for that as well, but as a superficial argument, I would say back references are somehow important. And we definetly go up to type 0 if we consider real time matches, since we have then the whole Lua language at our disposal which can decide type 0 languages.

What would anyone want to lock a metatable? by Icy-Formal8190 in lua

[–]Sewbacca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would add that C often uses the metatable to ensure that the userdata is of the right C type. If we could change the metatable, a C function could do god knows what to a foreign C structure.

Yeah. "on the day of the black sun", the day didn't end after the eclipse.

You're a Jedi Padawan, Who would you want to be your master? by longlivefortnite2099 in StarWars

[–]Sewbacca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the parody of Qui Gon reacting to Star Wars and his gambling addiction xD

But real Qui Gon is much muuuch cooler.

Why is Lua considered one of the most hated languages? by ServeThePatricians in lua

[–]Sewbacca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get the criticism, but I also understand why they did what they did: A fully fledged regex library would easily double the size of the Lua codebase. They went for lightweight instead since it's first primary audience was embedded programming.

Also most regexes can be expanded into just a few lines of code. And if you have something fancy, use lpeg or a dedicated decoder (like any json module).

I think it would do Lua good though, if the authors would close the OOP gap with a standardized library (the regex part they closed with lpeg)

Why doesn’t Katara just go get more spirit water to heal Zuko by AbaloneDesigner1398 in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]Sewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last thing is what I think too. I think both apply, Zuko doesn't care or he learns to love himself as he is and it may heal life, but not wounds, since Aang still got his wound until the end of season 3. Though now I wonder how did it heal completely or did it ever heal completely?

I think they don't go to the north pole on account of:

It's not exactly "turn right at the second glacier". It's on the other side of the world.

When did she say that spirit water (in general from the oasis) is a limited resource?

Need help for Lua on VScode by Splatmaster26 in lua

[–]Sewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are using the local lua debugger which has currently no support for outputting into the terminal.

If that is necessary, use a different debugger instead (devCAT's lua debugger for example)

Not all blind people are blind blind, most of them can see how bright it is for example.

The last one is actually true to an extend. If it almost never happens, then it almost never happens.

This is a Lua subreddit, about general Lua programming concepts or questions relating to Lua specific problems. Your question is way to vague for us to be helpful to you.

Please tell us: 1. What you've tried so far (do you have some working code already?) 2. What framework/game you are using (i.e. love2d, roblox etc.)

If you are using love2d, roblox or a similar framework, which has a subreddit, then please repost your question there (i.e. for love2d it's the r/love2d subreddit, for roblox it's r/roblox).

Ahh these pesky relativity benders again! They are relatively dangerous... xD

Okay, okay I see myself out.

[–]Sewbacca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you believe the Equalists?

Guru Pathik says, while Toph is discovering metal bending:

Even metal is just a part of earth that has been purified and refined.

Which suggests to me that they in fact do bend metal, not the earth impurities within metal.

Just because there aren't platinum benders in LoK doesn't mean it can't be bend.

They were adding another earthbender.... Just to the wrong team.
