    Is this better?



  • That’s slightly misleading, I think. There are no arrays in Lua, every Lua data structure is a table (sometimes pretending to be something else) and you can have anything as a key as long as it’s not nil. There’s also no integers, Lua only has a single number type which is floating point. This is perfectly valid:

    local tbl = {}
    local f = function() error(":(") end
    
    tbl[tbl] = tbl
    tbl[f] = tbl
    tbl["tbl"] = tbl
    
    print(tbl)
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40
    print(tbl[tbl], tbl[f], tbl["tbl"])
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    
    for key,value in pairs(tbl) do
      print(key, "=", value)
    end
    -- tbl	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    -- function: 0x557a907edff0	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    
    print(type(1), type(-0.5), type(math.pi), type(math.maxinteger))
    -- number	number	number	number
    



  • There’s no point looking for logic. These people truly believe granting a licence restricts the rights of people who don’t agree to the licence, which is the exact opposite of what licenses do. It’s blatant misinformation but if you call them out on it (even by quoting their own link) they literally think you’re an astroturfer for AI, because that makes more sense to them than the fact they’re obviously wrong.


  • Unlikely. The simplest explanation is generally most plausible, either:

    1. OP got an already opened box from someone, failed to notice the box was already open, failed to read the text in the box, failed to notice the prominent chocolate bunny on the box, failed to understand the purpose of the cardboard in the box, accidentally obscured text on the box with poor lighting, unintentionally took a misleading picture, and posted it into the internet as a genuine complaint.

    2. Or, OP saw protective cardboard around a fragile hollow chocolate egg and decided to lie on the internet.



  • This may have been true historically but I’m not sure it still holds up. I switched to Linux Mint as my regular OS a while back and the only driver issue I’ve had was that the installer didnt properly install my wifi card’s proprietary driver (which was working during live boot from usb), so I had to tether to my phone to download the driver through the driver manager. It even installed Nvidia drivers just fine.

    It might still be an issue for more barebones or heavily customisable systems but I’m fairly certain nobody’s recommending people switch to Arch for their first Linux experience.





  • It’s not just repeated moves, a draw can be called if the board is in the same state 3 times at all during the game; if you get to the same position 3 times using different moves that still counts, even if it was a white move the first two times and a black move the third.

    The game also ends after 50 moves with no captures or pawn moves so you can’t play indefinitely by just avoiding those board states. Interestingly those two moves also make it impossible to return to a previous board state (pawns can’t move backwards, extra pieces are never added) so if you’re enforcing both rules in code you can safely discard previous board states every time you reset the move counter.
