UITableLayout is completely broken. It does not rerender unless something is added/removed from its watched hierarchy. In other words, it doesn't resize dynamically if table cells resize.

UITableLayout does not work
UITableLayout does not redo its layout when the width of cells change. In the video, please note how changing the width of the header cells does not cause a rerender. I have to cut & paste the UITabl...

Finally made a low-poly airliner that I'm proud of! I'm not an artist, so even this level of fidelity is super challenging for myself. Excited to rig it up and get it flying in-game soon!

With Netflix bombing The Electric State, I highly recommend looking at the source material. Simon Stålenhag's artwork is incredible. I was so sad to see Netflix drop the ball on this. www.simonstalenhag.se/es.html

Work on viable product? ...or play Minecraft?

The decisions I face every day are brutal.

I'm convinced that many bad programming practices in the Roblox dev community started because people thought they were fun, not because they're actually useful

The Lines of Code plugin has FINALLY received a facelift! This has been scheduled for release for a few months, but was awaiting actors to be usable from plugins.

Still thinking about continuing flight lessons... I keep seeing relatively cheap small prop planes (under $50k) & hangar fees at my local airport aren't too bad ($300/mo). Everyone says maintenance is a money sink though. I'd love to fly to RDC at some point!

Fun fact: InputObjects are not recreated every input event. This means you can compare the actual InputObject to see if it was the same input, e.g. see if it's the same finger for a touch input during a movement event. This is super useful for multi-touch input. #RobloxDev

Do you think in little endian or big endian?

Literally driving to Georgia to get some warmth because I'm sick of this Ohio weather. Not even joking. Airbnb already booked.

My mental health can be measured inversely proportional to how often and how late I listen to math rock.

The Midwest winter weather is killing me.

Most ATAN2 functions use YX arguments, e.g. Luau is `math.atan2(y, x)`.

In excel, it's XY order. After converting some excel stuff a while back, this caused a bug that I didn't catch for months.

Friend from high school on LinkedIn: "I'm so pumped to be reaching these KPIs today! I love Mondays!"

Is this the modern day cry for help?

Midwest moonlit drives have an eerie but pleasant vibe. Just driving into nothingness.

I've been working on a Postgres driver written in Luau for my Koa runtime. It's coming along nicely! Here's an example of inserting rows to a table, and then listing out all the rows.

Example of a socket client in Koa. Here I am getting the current time from an NTP server and parsing out the timestamp.

The NTP_TIMESTMAP_DELTA converts from the NTP timestamp (Jan 1900) to Unix (Jan 1970)

"how to write postgres driver from scratch" was my last Google search. Time to descend into chaos.

I feel like I'm going crazy. These AI LLMs produce garbage code and I'm tired of everyone praising them.

RIP, at least I tried. I've heard it's hard to get accepted into Nintendo's dev program.
