"Update and shut down" is the biggest lie ever. It has never shut down. It always restarts.

Just the main menu of MSFS 2024 spikes my 4080 Super GPU to 80%. What on earth are they doing? The sim performs nice, but this is just ridiculous

Here's the original demo I made for it.

I made the "Plane Kit" that has somehow survived like 15 years. If you've ever flown a plane on Roblox with the weird UI at the top of the screen and a button that pops up the controls, that was from my plane kit. It sucks, but I still see it everywhere.

Made an alpha-bleed tool (like pixelfix). It's multithreaded and written in Zig. Godot is used for the frontend interface. This is a demo of it processing 1.5k images, each 256x256, in under 3 seconds. Majority of that is IO.

Me: "how do you feel about Roblox changing friends to connections?". Nephew: "๐Ÿ™ no they're my friends".

The more I use Zig, the more I like it. Such a fun language, and a really good community that loves to learn. It feels like C for the modern age.

Knit never actually existed. It's just a hoax made up by the ECS guys. Never even heard of it. Stop talking about it.

These people: "climate change isn't real!". Same people: "stop controlling the weather!". Feels like politicians are just rage baiting at this point.

This morning, I sent a letter to all public-use airports in Florida addressing the stateโ€™s new ban on weather modification. This landmark legislation marks another victory for health, freedom, and environmental protection in Florida. We expect full cooperation from our airports

Interestingly, the returned delta time from `task.wait()` is still non-zero if on the same frame, which means that its delta time is not calculated from current frame time, e.g. time()'s value. So you can't just check for a zero dt to bypass this.

The reason for this is pretty simple: Yielded threads with `task.wait` get resumed during Heartbeat step. If you call `task.wait` before Heartbeat in the frame, then it has a chance to resume the same frame.

One of my favorite cursed facts about Roblox's task scheduler is that `task.wait()` can resume on the same frame if you call it at the right time (e.g. during PreAnimation step).

@PhenixWhiteFire Depending on when this is run in the frame, it's possible for `task.wait()` to NOT wait an extra frame; e.g. it gets resumed the same frame. Maybe that's the reason? To ensure at least 1 frame? idk.

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?.
