What I ended up doing is creating "audio busses" for each sound category. I then have a script that goes through and creates wires for each sound to the proper bus. That's all controlled through an Audio module which can target the specific busses and sounds.

How do these new Audio objects work in Roblox? If I have like 50 sounds, do I need 50 AudioPlayers and 50 Wires? Or should I be dynamically switching out a single AudioPlayer Asset property?.

I have now officially gone 30 years without ever writing PHP.

LinkedIn emails creeps me out

I try to stay out of politics, but. Please, just use generalized iteration in Luau. You don't need to use next, pairs, or ipairs for iterating. If you do, it should be quite the exception.

Ideally nothing opinionated about code style. I want to learn something substantial, not an opinion piece.

Any good technical book recommendations? Really anything to do with computing/programming/hardware.

I always find it interesting how much backlash I get for not wanting to use AI, as if I'm doing something wrong.

One place I DO use it is parsing documentation: Microsoft documentation is terrible and fragmented, but Claude is pretty good at piecing it together.

Still not using AI in my coding workflow. I want to keep my mind engaged, and I worry letting AI take that process will lead to buggy code that I don't fully understand. I do not feel like I'm being left behind by choosing to not use it. I like to write it!.

Found the color of software

This popped up while playing Mario Kart. Alright, smart TVs were a mistake.

RT @Noxywoxy: A Difficult Update About Hytale. Hey Everyone,.Today, I shared some incredibly tough news with the Hypixel Studios team: we’r….

Finally, I am free of Spectrum! Now I have symmetric speeds and way lower latency. My uplink speed used to be like 15Mbps. I could pay extra for 1Gbps, but I just don't need that right now.

Today in home ownership: learning how to balance the HVAC system. Apparently all the branch lines (is that what they're called?) have these nifty dampers to open/close them. Future project: Remote controlled versions so I can program all of them! PID use case for sure.

Tried to be a responsible adult and do a routine health checkup. All is good, but now I owe almost $700. I'm about to start my villain arc and start my own health insurance comapny.

Should I launch my Right to Erasure service? I literally have it built and working. It's running on a few of my games. Price would be cheap.

I've also opened a bug report for UITableLayouts not working. Not sure when this will get attention, but usually it's somewhere between 1 week to 6 years lol

I tried to get React to force a rerender to help UITableLayouts work, but it was hacky and didn't work half the time. At the end of the day, I now have a component that is nearly a drop-and-replace for UITableLayout (see image)
