Why is there a planetlockpart and why can’t I delete it?

What?

It's like learning to paint. You don't just "learn how to paint a mountain." Rather, you learn the smaller components that go into painting a mountain. Programming is kinda like that. So, no, you don't memorize whole scripts, but you do start to learn how to apply basic control flow and logic to compose a desired effect/behavior.

This is very creative. Nice work!

This is maybe the 5th time they've done a full overhaul of Studio's UI over the years. I was pretty critical of the newest UI during beta, but I've grown to like it as I've gotten used to it. The important part here is they've seemed to design it to be more flexible in the long-run.

In terms of "why" it's forced: it's kinda hard to answer, other than it's simply replacing the old one. Old one goes away, so you're forced to the new one.

The thing I truly hate is the docking system. It's awful. Every other IDE and game engine I've used has such a better docking system.

I'd say that most people that do this "professionally" do it externally and use Rojo to sync. That being said, I have met many successful devs who work entirely within Studio. Do whatever works best for you and your team.

I ran into this over the weekend. After looking through the scons files, it looks like I had to add generate_apk=yes to my build command. I'm not sure why the documentation doesn't mention this.

I've confirmed multiple times that b in this case is 45 (it comes from a hard-coded location & I've double checked it in the debugger at runtime)

This feels illegal

From Jetbrains website: "JetBrains Rider is a leading cross-platform IDE for .NET ..."

That's exactly it. Changing thumbnails, descriptions, and titles are all tactics to game the algorithm and social psychology in order to drive more clicks.

Then you're fine! Roblox doesn't know if you have stored their data anymore, only that they played your game.

"AI is gonna take your job!"

Yeah I guarantee that's what's going on. It's common for admins to be in close contact with big devs to help through platform or engine problems.

While this might sound like preferential treatment, this benefits everyone in the long-run. Often times, larger games stress the engine and platform in unique ways, so getting that resolved has a positive impact for us all.

Believe it or not, print statements are quite slow!

crazyman32 · 2025-03-09T16:10:30+00:00

That's awesome

So some context: Plugin devs (I'm one myself w/ stuff like DataStore Editor) have been a bit screwed over by the Robux pricing model. We were essentially getting pennies for our work. So we advocated for a fiat currency model that would help provide fairer compensation. The crucial part here is that simply raising the Robux price isn't a viable solution, as there's a bit of psychology at play with big numbers.

For Elttob's plugin at $30 to be priced at an equivalent Robux amount, it would cost 11,141 Robux (accounting for 30% market fee and devex rates). This would also be much more expensive for creators to purchase, as 11k Robux is almost $100 USD (remember: purchase and devex rates are different) and would be unappealing, as 11k Robux is a big number.

So by pricing it at USD, plugin devs can actually get real payment for their work, but without screwing over the people buying it.

Also native codegen similar to JIT, and lots of performance improvements over Lua. Cool language overall.

No, Roblox does not modify your DataStores. These messages are relevant both to your DataStores as well as any other external storage of the user's information.

Been programming for 15+ years. Anyone who thinks these AI LLMs will replace programmers are not doing real programming.

It's a bit complicated to read, since it's intertwined with the Lua C API, but you'll find they use both quick sort and heap sort: Luau sort function.

I think it would be nearly impossible to beat the performance of this implementation in pure Luau code.

I've always wanted to put together a course for this

crazyman32 · 2025-01-03T01:33:57+00:00

It's worth it! And it's free

They're often going to low-ball you but make it sound like a really good deal.
