Nice, I first saw this on Hack Club ;) Check your terminal to see if it supports certain colours, on mine the darker and lighter colours (eg. maroon/red, purple/magenta) look identical.

Nice to see a larger model in their lineup, I've been using Ternary 8B and it seems to get higher TPS than most other similarly sized models on my hardware.

Allowing people to vote for any project they think is cool is an interesting departure from voting systems of most other Hack Club programmes (most of the time your project will battle for votes in a series of 1v1 matchups). I'm really

I wouldn't be surprised if their plan is to keep compatible with 5.1 and adopt newer features where feasible/compatible. Luau, another language with the explicit goal of extending Lua 5.1 in a compatible way, has a section in thei

I suppose, though I feel what most people in this thread are thinking of is updating the existing if statement to also work as an expression, which does have plenty of implications (not that I think they would be bad, just more of a change

A comment < https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/1475#issuecomment-47... > has already been made on the issue regarding the ternary operator, recommending `if x then y else z` over `x ? y : z`. This is

Congrats on the 1.0.0 release! Being able to write custom tooling in Luau using the Luau parsing APIs will be awesome. Hopefully it makes updating tools to use new Luau features easier – at the moment I have a workflow with a custom-built p

Finally. The option for me to enable Copilot data sharing has been locked as disabled for some time, so until now I couldn't even enable it if I wanted to.

No. Many legal cases were brought against Roblox due to these claims. Roblox implemented their new safety and age checks, and since then, none of these cases have progressed since because the evidence the provided by them for such is no lon

Not really. The lower tiers are only less efficient on platforms that require purchase through an app store or other payment processor that takes a large cut. Buying through a gift card or through the Roblox website or non-Microsoft Store P

The point of the discrepancy between purchasing Robux and converting to fiat is to allow Roblox themselves to be able to pay for the infrastructure and support they provide to developers. If the rates were equal, there would be an effective

Are you using gambling as an example here? I don't fully understand the relation. There isn't any way to gamble Robux for more Robux on the platform, and in the cases which are arguable (such as on-platform item trading), the mone

I'll admit I read deeper into your argument than what you actually wrote. Comparing with a platform like a digital distribution storefront, the infra & support & other OpEx still has to be paid. Could be argued that the develop

The problem is that the external platforms that the children progress to generally have much laxer protection systems than Roblox does, and thus end up more vulnerable. I just chose Discord as an example as they're the most commonly ci

I'd like to hear your reasons for this. From what I see, most discussions on child exploitation on Roblox eventually make clear that the exploitation happened outside of Roblox, most commonly on Discord. Moreover, it's a lot more

by Heliodex 6mo ago
The main reason this argument exists is because of Roblox being difficult to compare with other platforms. For the most widely used platforms/engines/storefronts in the industry, the main payout model is that the percentage (for s
