  • smartphones are pretty damn impressive.

    they downright make scifi gizmos like dataslates, or comunicators seem outdated.

    gps navigation arround the world,
    even without cellula reception if you have offline data.
    and automatic navigation / route planning

    a vast array of communication services be it text sound, or video,
    one on one, as a group, or in a public forum.

    a vast sea of information on every topic immaginable.

    ever improving camera & sensor tech.

    and smartphones do it all in one device small enough to fit in your pocket.

    and didn’t even mention the computing power & storage that oveshadows some room sized supercomputers of the past

    thats probably taking the piss with how lua handles array indexing.

    in most programming languages,
    the first element of an array is element 0,
    in lua arrays start with element 1.

    imo it kinda makes sense,
    but it causes confusion because it goes against established conventions
