development

[wheat mesa]

no

[dry imp]

nah you love assembly

[wheat mesa]

asm = assembly

you're in #development

:C

[lyric mountain]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

computer club kids saw me writing assembly, immediately all focused on my computer

little did they know all I was doing was fucking around with registers and had no idea what I was doing

bet I looked like a wizard though

[spark flint]

could use regex

[wheat mesa]

if it's in the form of a mention in a message, it should just be in message.mentions

most of the time you shouldn't have to worry about needing to work with the raw text like that

[spark flint]

i think they're scraping an embed

[wheat mesa]

and if you are you might be overthinking it

[spark flint]

in that case

const mention = `@covert gale`
const id = mention.match(/[^0-9]/)```

[radiant kraken]

mention.replace(/[<@\!]/g, "") works better

[spark flint]

/g returns an array tho

[radiant kraken]

.replace

[spark flint]

oh wait

good point

[wheat mesa]

hi c user null

[radiant kraken]

hi fellow rust user Waffle

idk if you use c

[wheat mesa]

I tried

Not really for me

you didn't await the fetch

[radiant kraken]

maybe because it's a promise

What IDE do you use

[wheat mesa]

can't use replace on Promise<User>

nor will you be able to use replace on User

[radiant kraken]

don't you have IntelliSense?

[wheat mesa]

me when people don't like type safety

[radiant kraken]

ahh yes dynamically typed languages

[spark flint]

How can I use a buffer as an image on an embed?

Discord.js v13 (not 14 yet)

[wheat mesa]

IntelliSense is a magic IDE thing that detects types and hints things to you (it does other stuff too but not relevant to this rn)

[radiant kraken]

IntelliSense is a must have for every dev

[wheat mesa]

Almost every IDE has some sort of a version of it, whether it be their own branded one or just straight up IntelliSense

It will save you a load of time

is it not on vsc by default?

[boreal iron]

i feel forced to change my editor

[minor olive]

no, a form of it is. There are other extensions that make it more powerful though

[wheat mesa]

I wouldn't know about js for that thing, I use ts anyways

[radiant kraken]

There are lots of them in the extensions marketplace

[wheat mesa]

ts is my intellisense

😉

[radiant kraken]

based

[minor olive]

what language?

[wheat mesa]

fetch user, open/fetch dm channel, send message, make sure to catch it

[radiant kraken]

Yes you can

i forgot how to do it though

attachments://something afaik

[earnest phoenix]

VSC has IntelliSense built-in for various programming languages without the need for an extension, the languages with built-in IntellSense support are JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, and SCSS

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense#_intellisense-for-your-programming-language

[radiant kraken]

SCSS?

I doubt

[earnest phoenix]

It's literally in their documentation

[radiant kraken]

i used SCSS and i need to install an extension to get IntelliSense

[wheat mesa]

I figured that it would have intellisense for at least js/ts, considering it's literally built on electron

[earnest phoenix]

Built-in IntelliSense support for SCSS was added recently

[radiant kraken]

cool

[radiant kraken]

also @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

That's correct, you just have to add the buffer as an attachment and give it a name, and provide attachment://NAME OF THE ATTACHMENT to the image field

@spark flint ^

[spark flint]

let file = new MessageAttachment(await line_chart.toBuffer(), 'moderationGraph.png');
let embed = new MessageEmbed()
  .setImage('attachment://moderationGraph.png');
await msg.edit({ content:null, embeds:[embed], files: [file] })```

this worked for me

[earnest phoenix]

Yep, that's correct

[spark flint]

[wheat mesa]

depends on what you want to do

const means you cannot reassign to it

[spark flint]

idk i always do let embed = new MessageEmbed()

[wheat mesa]

let lets you reassign the variable entirely, const only allows mutation of the variable's state

probably some more intricate details I didn't mention there but I'm sure volt will correct me if it's wrong

[earnest phoenix]

It's better to use const to declare variables if you aren't going to mutate it later, and let if you plan to reassign it, since this can allow for further optimization

And remember that const still allows mutation of the value itself in the variable, not reassignment of the variable

Waffle is correct there as well

[spark flint]

has anyone here used the chart.js-image package? trying to add data labels

[earnest phoenix]

For a simple example

// Declare a constant variable.
const foo = {};

// You can do this, which just mutates the value.
foo.bar = 1;

// But you can't do this, as you're reassigning a constant variable.
foo = 9;

[wheat mesa]

Now var is an entirely different level of fuckery

[earnest phoenix]

Honestly we would've removed both the var keyword and the non-strict equality operators (==|!=), but those are just set in stone now, would cause too much breakage if done so

[radiant kraken]

it infuriates me when i see someone using let but doesn't reassign it later

[earnest phoenix]

Same

[radiant kraken]

unless you're using Rust

[earnest phoenix]

let mut moment

[wheat mesa]

me when someone does let mut and doesn’t mutate the variable

[radiant kraken]

That would be a compiler warning

[wheat mesa]

Or fn something(&mut self)

Doesn’t mean people care

[radiant kraken]

At least it isn't go

Where it's a compile error

[wheat mesa]

I like immutability by default

That’s something I think a lot of languages would benefit from

Also it would save the optimizers some work since anything that isn’t declared as mutable is const

[radiant kraken]

true

[round cove]

this is what i finished with a couple hours after

[wheat mesa]

@earnest phoenix do you know if the js date api overhaul is coming anytime soon? Might have to make something with dates soon and I don’t wanna use the existing one because it sucks balls

[lyric mountain]

Overhaul?

[wheat mesa]

There’s a date api proposal that made it to stage 3 last I checked that completely overhauls the current date api to not suck

[sudden geyser]

sounds like it won't be implemented for a while

[earnest phoenix]

You mean the Temporal API?

[wheat mesa]

Yes

That one

Forgor the name for a moment

[earnest phoenix]

That's coming soon, we're already working on the implementation and these are several tests, just looking for edge cases to fix and to optimize some things

https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/refs/heads/main/src/temporal/

[sudden geyser]

So you want the mod to have to add details

[earnest phoenix]

How to get my top.gg account token?

[sudden geyser]

I imagine you either use slash commands or maybe modals if those work

[earnest phoenix]

Can anyone tell?

[sudden geyser]

isn't it on your profile

[somber ridge]

there’s no such thing as an account token in top.gg
you can however get a top.gg bot token to have access to the api once it’s approved

[runic depot]

How does it authenticate the users then? I’m asking to see if it’s good then I can implement it on my own website

[somber ridge]

look into something known as OAuth2

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

[runic depot]

No not integrate…
Like a simple username password login

There should be a token right?

[somber ridge]

top.gg uses OAuth to authenticate users, not username/password

[runic depot]

Yea that’s true

[somber ridge]

that’s where Oauth solves that issue

[runic depot]

I see

Thanks!

[earnest phoenix]

I am asking for top.gg npm package

[somber ridge]

the npm package is just a wrapper to interact with the api, it still requires a token to function which can only be generated for approved bots on the site

[lament rock]

scrape html and abuse the fact that cookies are header based

It's so easy to complete login flows via scripting

[tidal nymph]

does anyone know why my bot's activity getting cleared (disappeared) after being up for hrs?

I only set the activity once but for some reason it keeps going away

[rustic nova]

nah shouldn't normally do that, either your library resets it or something else

[tidal nymph]

im using d.js, issue only happens lately, still on v13 tho

[sacred aurora]

is there a way to download a big file and upload it at the same time to reduce memory usage in axios?

[graceful cobalt]

hey guys, how do i make a top.gg vote reminder?

[rose warren]

When people vote for your bot on Top.gg, use the Top.gg webhook (see #topgg-api) to send the voter's info to your bot's server. There you can listen for the webhook data and store their ID along with a timestamp in your database. Then regularly check your database for votes that happened over 12h ago and send reminder DMs to those users. You'd probably also want to store another column in your database to signal whether you've sent the reminder DM already so as not to spam reminders after 12h, or delete the row after sending the DM.

[viscid jetty]

[surreal sage]

How to make JavaScript "string choices"?

Like with Discord.js intents but you fill them in as strings instead of flags.

Or channel types

Like this.

[lyric mountain]

are u making a lib?

[surreal sage]

Nah

Soft coding

[rustic nova]

glad python has array.choices amirite

[lyric mountain]

then don't worry abt that, it'll be extra work for little return

[surreal sage]

Ight.

[lyric mountain]

that's called "magic constant" btw

[wheat mesa]

It’s a union type constant

interaction.channel.type is probably "DM" | "GUILD_TEXT" | "ETC"

(In that case)

[quartz kindle]

in js you can do that with jsdoc

[thorn spruce]

Hey, someone know how i can type this with Typescript?

this.jsonLangs = require(`../langs/${this.playerLang}`);

// Using exemple:
this.jsonLangs.language.lang_conf

(Its a big file so type manually will take too much time)

[civic scroll]

that's achievable through JSDoc

or

just use typescript

eg.
js

/**
* @param {"BLUE" | "RED" | "GREEN"} impostor 
*/
function amogus(impostor) {}

ts

// typing via types
type sus = "BLUE" | "RED" | "GREEN";
function amogus(impostor: sus) {}
// inline parameter typing
function amogus(impostor: "BLUE" | "RED" | "GREEN") {}

[civic scroll]

you can't, it's a dynamic import

you will have to import the types manually from said json files and make an union type for them

[surreal sage]

I don't need help anymore..

[civic scroll]

you didn't state that so here i am

[surreal sage]

[civic scroll]

that was not

[surreal sage]

Ight.

[civic scroll]

acknowledgement != end

but anywho

@thorn spruce but from what i saw they are language data right?

[thorn spruce]

yep

[civic scroll]

then the key struct matches across all languages

for this case i suggest typing the language struct

[thorn spruce]

yep

what do you mean by language struct

[civic scroll]

or you can not care about the type at all

[civic scroll]

the type definition of the language object exported from json files

[thorn spruce]

that was i was doing before xD

[civic scroll]

for my case i just use fallback keys

if the data is there it will replace said keys with translation string; otherwise just display the key

export type LanguagePack = {
    [K in 'en' | 'jp' | 'cn' | 'kr']: Record<string, any>;
}

export function i18n(key: string, lang = 'en', langPack: LanguagePack | Partial<LanguagePack>): string {
    const keys = key.split('.');
    if (!AvailableLanguages.includes(lang))
        lang = 'en';
    let data: Record<string, any> | undefined = langPack[lang as keyof typeof langPack];
    if (!data) return key;
    let level = 1;
    for (const subkey of keys)
    {
        if (typeof data![subkey] === 'string' && level === keys.length)
            return data![subkey];
        if (!(subkey in data!))
            break;
        data = data![subkey];
        level++;
    }
    return `{@${keys.copyWithin(0, 0, level).join('.')}}`;
}

export const useLocale = (lang: string, pack: LanguagePack | Partial<LanguagePack>) => (key: string) => i18n(key, lang, pack);

here's what i use

typing is a little bit ugly though, due to property key typing in highest parent object

[thorn spruce]

I prefer with types personally

[civic scroll]

for large translations, typing is recommended

but

if you add unique keys to each language

typing breaks

[thorn spruce]

My files literally looks like

key :
key : value
key : value

nop for me its the same key for each language

more easy

[civic scroll]

for me it includes some custom ones

for yknow, easter eggs

[thorn spruce]

yes

[thorn spruce]

but as i can saw you have one file for every language ?

[civic scroll]

yeah

for lazy-loading

[thorn spruce]

one file for each language here

[civic scroll]

same

[thorn spruce]

damn KR / CN / JP

[civic scroll]

yes

[thorn spruce]

some good languages in facts

[civic scroll]

i included because official website has those languages

[thorn spruce]

lmao

in facts i just remember

if my files are the same i can just import one of them

and do ```ts
typeof fr

[civic scroll]

'object'

typeof operator will only show you primitive types

[thorn spruce]

it was a good idea in my head

[civic scroll]

[idle cave]

@thorn spruce

{
  "Command" : {
      "subCommand" : {
          "fr" : "Salut %s !",
          "en" : "Hey %s !"
      }
  }
}

And I have a function translate in my command context and i just have to do translate("Command.subCommand", author.username)

And JSON are any type

import dialogues from "../../dialogues.json" assert { type: "json" };

On file all languages

Thanks copilot for translation ^^

[median ginkgo]

oh

[idle cave]

ofc i can do json deeper

{
  "Command" : {
      "subCommand" : {
          "subSubComand" : {
              "fr" : "Salut %s !",
              "en" : "Hey %s !"
           }
      }
  }
}

And if it can't find a translation i get some thing like {Command.SUUUBComand -> params}

[radiant kraken]

can i add my own localization

kthx

[earnest phoenix]

If I have a bot that doesn't need intents (like none at all), do I need to verify for more than 100 servers (obv im still verifying but can it join more than 100 without verifying)?

[sudden geyser]

still need to verify

[earnest phoenix]

i checked, its not

verification is only required if you enable one or more gateway intents

[sudden geyser]

really? didn't know that

[earnest phoenix]

however i'm obviously still gonna verify lol

[earnest phoenix]

gateway intents require verification at over 100 servers

[lyric mountain]

I'm pretty sure it's still required

there are 4 verifications

1 - to allow more than 100 servers
2 - to allow usage of GUILD_PRESENCES intent
3 - to allow usage of GUILD_MESSAGES intent
4 - to allow usage of GUILD_MEMBERS intent

you can do all 3 at once, but they're analyzed separately

[earnest phoenix]

#1 is for presence intents i think

ok edited

[lyric mountain]

forgot abt the 4th

but still, that doesn't mean u dont need to verify for 100 servers

[earnest phoenix]

rip yea

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040720412-Bot-Verification-and-Data-Whitelisting#:~:text=verification a requirement for bots in 100 or more servers. Until your bot is verified%2C you will not be able to grow past 100 servers.

gotta verify ig

[lyric mountain]

ye, the verifications are mutually inclusive

[sudden geyser]

So I wasn't wrong—win!

[lyric mountain]

you must have the approval for all enabled intents, and disable those which u dont

[earnest phoenix]

still got easier verification process lol
dont need to submit reasons for those three intents

[earnest phoenix]

i have all 3 disabled

[earnest phoenix]

gg

[lyric mountain]

I mean, it's a single verification

[earnest phoenix]

still gonna take me like 2 weeks

[lyric mountain]

ye

just as a note, the process to get the intents post-verifications is...awful, to say the least

[fickle arch]

how do I make my bot run a command with different alliases (for example createinvite/createinv) for now mine run only 1 (getinvite) and I can't seems to make the bot execute the command with different alliases

[quartz kindle]

show code

interaction.deleteReply()

[fickle arch]

ooo I misspelled aliases by using 2 l, woops

[quartz kindle]

no it shouldnt

ephemerals should delete themselves after a while, or the user deletes them, like you delete system messages

[frigid moth]

what permissions does a bot need to lock a channel?

I just read a log saying that it is unnecessary to ask for manage channel for a lock cmd

[wheat mesa]

Why not just make a channel with those roles only

[frigid moth]

welp that's what I found in #mod-logs for a reason about a bot being declined: Your lock command requires the bot itself to have the manage_channels permission. It only needs the manage_roles permission, though. Please only request permission(s) the bot truly needs

[severe hull]

im getting this error in running my code

from discord.ext import tasks
import topgg

dbl_token = "Top.gg token" 
bot.topggpy = topgg.DBLClient(bot, dbl_token)

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)
async def update_stats():
    """This function runs every 30 minutes to automatically update your server count."""
    try:
        await bot.topggpy.post_guild_count()
        print(f"Posted server count ({bot.topggpy.guild_count})")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to post server count\n{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}")

update_stats.start()

someone please help me

[light ingot]

what are you trying to do tho

i dont think .forEach would do anything interesting on a single element

oh

[quartz kindle]

that will only work if all members are in the cache

[light ingot]

client.users.cache?

[frigid moth]

so what permission does the bot need to lock a channel?

[light ingot]

manage roles probably

or wait

idk

[frigid moth]

Imma try both of them cause I dk too

[light ingot]

I'm new too :/

[frigid moth]

I mean someone in #logs declined a bot saying that : Your lock command requires the bot itself to have the manage_channels permission. It only needs the manage_roles permission, though. Please only request permission(s) the bot truly needs

so it's not manage channels for sure

[quartz kindle]

you would need to fetch all guild members

[light ingot]

yeah then ig manage roles is what it needs

[quartz kindle]

for that you need the members intent

[light ingot]

as the declined message also states that

[frigid moth]

I tried but that doesn't seem to be the corerct perm too

[quartz kindle]

no that wont work

you would need to fetch all guild members and for that you need the members intent

guild.members.fetch()

hmm?

you want to hide the ip?

[light ingot]

message.guild.roles.cache.get('0').members.map(m=>m.user.id).forEach(member => {
let user = client.users.cache.get(member)
user.send("hello")
});

should work

[quartz kindle]

only if all members are cached

[light ingot]

you use backslashes

[quartz kindle]

also, half of that is redundant

and also will cause rate limit issues

[light ingot]

oh, didn't knew that

my bad

[quartz kindle]

dont

if you REAAAAAAALLLY need to

for(const member of message.guild.roles.cache.get(ROLE_ID).members) {
  await member.send(...)
}

but again, that only works if all members are cached

because roles dont actually have members

members have roles

so djs has to check all members to see which member has that role id

[light ingot]

what if we reverse it?

like, fetch the members first then filter them by role

:/

[quartz kindle]

thats exactly what role.members does

hence why all members have to be cached for it to work

[light ingot]

i see

[quartz kindle]

unfortunately discord doesnt give us a way to see that

role objects dont have any member information

[severe hull]

im getting this error , someone please help me out ;(

[frigid moth]

Well I tested , my bot even thought it says different in the review , my bot requires manage channels perm to lock a channel

[civic scroll]

angular

[round cove]

yes

[civic scroll]

hUH

real

pan you beat me

[round cove]

?>

[lyric mountain]

it's just discord doing a little trolling

[civic scroll]

[round cove]

[civic scroll]

don't worry

i will do the same

hhh

[earnest phoenix]

I will be taking on a developer role soon

[civic scroll]

ok

@round cove also i'm not sure about how to do terminal command emulation

[light ingot]

i guess you have to import <variable name> from <module name>

while you just have written it like import <variable name>

[civic scroll]

nah

more like import { exportName as varName } from module

[round cove]

it's annoying

[civic scroll]

or import exportDefault from module

[civic scroll]

i know

[queen sable]

import export in python ?

[civic scroll]

but you are making it like a storyline

[light ingot]

wait did i get confused in javascript and python

[civic scroll]

oh wait it's not typescript

i'm sorry

[light ingot]

💀

same lmap

[civic scroll]

you can do from moduleName import exportedName

[queen sable]

that's why i asked 😂

[civic scroll]

from moduleName import *

from moduleName import exported1, exported2 as varName

[queen sable]

also import moduleName as name

[civic scroll]

was about to type that

you get the gists

[queen sable]

lol you are good

[civic scroll]

i'm not

[queen sable]

so you work with both js and py .. right like me ?

[civic scroll]

no

i work with typescript, web languages and rust

[lyric mountain]

chaos, total chaos

[civic scroll]

also ocassionally c#

[queen sable]

Ohh so mainly js ?

[civic scroll]

undefined behaviour moment

[civic scroll]

*typescript

[queen sable]

cool i am getting started with it

[civic scroll]

raw js is devil

[queen sable]

😂 esm and ts is much better

[civic scroll]

esm is not a language

[light ingot]

I'm still using CommonJS lmao

[queen sable]

no i didn't said it's a lang

[civic scroll]

even esm

it's still javascript

[lyric mountain]

I'm honestly surprised there's still people who use the old require() to import stuff

[civic scroll]

actually cjs is better import imo since it supports nested object destructuring

[queen sable]

that's true

since how long you are coding ?

[quartz kindle]

require > *

[civic scroll]

8 months, take it or leave it

actually i rage quitted for 6 months

so 2

[queen sable]

Ohh , but ur still good with it

[frigid moth]

lmao

[lyric mountain]

I mean, if u got MANAGE_CHANNELS I expect it to also include managing its permissions

and MANAGE_ROLES to be able to modify only the actual roles, not the channels

but oh well

[frigid moth]

that's what worries me cause it has been the reason for many others...

even though I tested the cmd and it only works with manage channels

[lyric mountain]

ye, common mistake, for some reason discord only requires manage_roles to edit the channel perms

manage_channels is for managing the channel structures

[frigid moth]

in fact I don't modify role perms for lock cmd , I modify channel perms

so that might be the cause

[civic scroll]

it's more convinient to lock channels based with their own perms overwrite than manually locking role by role

[frigid moth]

doesn't that require "manage channels' perm?

[queen sable]

it does

[civic scroll]

yes

told you

but if everyone is a role

then manage role perms alone would work

unless there are complex unique settings for each channel, then oh well

[frigid moth]

I am talking about everyone role

[queen sable]

if everyone role has mange channels perms it will work

[frigid moth]

the point is to work with manage roles tho... not manage channel perms

[queen sable]

well as sayuri said it's better to with manage channels.. why manage roles is required to lock the channel ?

[frigid moth]

I have to go with manage channels cause that's the only perm it makes it possible to work. What I am saying tho is that:

[queen sable]

Yes

[frigid moth]

that was in #mod-logs

[lyric mountain]

failsafe

.catch()

no idea how mojang api works

still, .catch() for any promise-based actions

[wheat mesa]

Because axios rejects on 400 status codes

Just .catch like he’s saying

You can set your own custom validateStatus func for axios to not throw if you wish

[lyric mountain]

it's a good habit to .catch() any and all api calls, even those that are guaranteed to work

you never know when the server might be offline

whatever u want to do when it fails

ye

[earnest phoenix]

Hello

I came for help

[lyric mountain]

you forgot to also bring the question

[ancient nova]

https://github.com/Tomato6966/Multipurpose-discord-bot/blob/main/commands/⌨️ Programming/compile.js what is this for?

does this ltierally just compile the code inside the bots files? what's the purpose of this? 😮

[wheat mesa]

It’s a recipe for disaster if he actually runs the code too

I’ll look at it when I get home

[ancient nova]

I thought so 🤣

ty

[wheat mesa]

He uses an api it seems

[sudden geyser]

They take some code as input, send it to an API to be processed, and display the result

So they're not running it on their own bot process

don't know why they decided to have every file end with .cpp though

or why the folder path includes an emoji

[ancient nova]

what's the point of the eval in the very end of the code though?

[sudden geyser]

I think it's just for translation

English, Russian, etc.

A bad idea to use eval for that, but it doesn't look related to the code evaluation.

[ancient nova]

ah I see, that's a little bit weird lol

does dyno do this command by looping over ALL of it's cached users? would it work on mine just as well?

my bot is in a couple big servers so it should be fine?

[wheat mesa]

If it’s cached it shouldn’t be a problem (depending on what operations you’re using) Do not fetch a ton of users though

[ancient nova]

I won't try fetching them, I will only use cache for this command

it is safe though, right?

[knotty quartz]

I'm getting a message saying it successfully purged amount of messages, when error is reported to console and I don't know how to fix it, this is for (Errors with bot not having access).

[wheat mesa]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be safe

[ancient nova]

send the code

[wheat mesa]

Caches are designed to be fast

[ancient nova]

that's good

client.users.cache.get?

[wheat mesa]

It’s your command, you’ve gotta be the one to figure out what to do with it

[ancient nova]

not sure what is the best way of getting all the users, there is multiple ways to

You might be trying to bulkDelete messages older than 14 days

[ancient nova]

and I want the fastest one

[knotty quartz]

const { SlashCommandBuilder, PermissionsBitField } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('purge')
        .setDescription('Purge up to 250 messages.')
        .addIntegerOption(option => option.setName('amount').setDescription('Number of messages to purge.')),
    async execute(interaction) {

        else if (interaction.member.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages)) {
        const amount = interaction.options.getInteger('amount');
        if (amount < 1 || amount > 250) {
            return interaction.reply({ content: 'You need to input a number between 1 and 250.', ephemeral: true });
        }
        await interaction.channel.bulkDelete(amount, true).catch(error => {
            console.error(error)
        });
        return interaction.reply({ content: `Successfully purged \`${amount}\` messages.`, ephemeral: true });
        }
        else {
            await interaction.reply("You need: MANAGE_MESSAGES for this command!")
        }
    },
};```

Sorry it took a while-

[wheat mesa]

Filter out the messages that are 14 days or older, then try purging

[ancient nova]

remove the console.error then lol

[wheat mesa]

Also limit the number to 100

The bulkDelete endpoint only takes up to 100 IDs

Idk if djs splits the requests but either way it’s a bad idea

[wheat mesa]

There’s like 2 ways, it’s either from cache or from fetching

[ancient nova]

you should also save the number of deleted message and compare it to the messages actually deleted, that way u can tell the user if the messages were over 14 days old

[knotty quartz]

I mean for MISSING ACCESS error, it sends to console but still continues to say it purged successfully.

[ancient nova]

u can get all the users in a guld from message.guild.users.get or you can get it from client cache client.users.cache.get also u can do client.api.users.get

[knotty quartz]

Alright thank you!

[knotty quartz]

100 messages got it!

[wheat mesa]

It continues on after your catch statement

That’s why it’s still saying that in the response

[knotty quartz]

should I make it 99 just incase?

[ancient nova]

no need

[knotty quartz]

Oh, how would I stop it

[wheat mesa]

It’s all the same pretty much

Just don’t be fetching

[quartz kindle]

use try {} catch {} instead

[wheat mesa]

I would just have a try catch block

Yeah

That way when it throws it goes straight to the catch block

[knotty quartz]

try {} catch {} ty

[ancient nova]

alr, client.users seems the more convinient so I'll go with that

[quartz kindle]

as long as the user is cached

[knotty quartz]

I use client.users normally.

await interaction.channel.bulkDelete(amount, true).try.catch(error => {
            console.error(error);
            //Should end here if error
        });``` Better or did I type that wrong?

[wheat mesa]

oh boy

try {
    somethingThatCanThrowHere()
} catch(e) {
    // do stuff with your error here
}

[knotty quartz]

Did it wrong-

[quartz kindle]

/facepalm

[knotty quartz]

I meant the first one lol, I realised.

[boreal iron]

[ancient nova]

    // Lets save our discrim and confirm that it is indeed a valid discriminator.
    const discrimToFetch = args[0];
    if (isNaN(discrimToFetch) || (discrimToFetch.length > 5 || discrimToFetch.length < 4 )) {
        return message.reply({
            content: "I was unable to fetch the users, because the discriminator you've chosen is not valid!"
        });
    };
    
    // Lets now fetch the users.
    const fetchingUsers = client.users.cache.filter(member => member.discriminator === discrimToFetch);
    if (!fetchingUsers) {
        return message.reply({
            content: "I was not able to fetch any users with the discriminator of your choice."
        });
    };
``` so how will this work?

[knotty quartz]

Works! I forgot abit of it so it accidentally kept the error message when purging but it works now! Thank you!!

[ancient nova]

wait does filter exclude or include I forgot?

[wheat mesa]

try it and see

[quartz kindle]

includes whatever resolves to true and excludes whatever resolves to false

[ancient nova]

so it will include anyone who has the discrim of the users choice, nice

message.member.roles.add?

what do you mean?? is is the Id of an user?

message.guild.users.fetch(id).roles.add(...)

np

u might wanna await it though, not sure how the promises work with this one

const member = await message.guild.members.cache.get(id);
member.roles.add(id);

great

[boreal iron]

Just as tip instead of chaining multiple conditions just check if the length is !== 4

[ancient nova]

oh I forgot that was a thing

[boreal iron]

_to name just one improvement _

[ancient nova]

just one :0

what's wrong with it 😭

should I paginate it or???

I think 10 names should be fine, I don't think you'd need that many anyway

[wheat mesa]

bruh what

Cache is not a promise

fetching is a promise

[ancient nova]

ok ok relax

anyway that's how it looks

good enough w me

[wheat mesa]

Why not make a pagination function that just takes an array of anything and returns back a 2 dimensional array of the items/pages

And/or object

[ancient nova]

cause I'm too lazy to make something like that a function that I will possibly use only 2 times and then forget it exists

besides you won't need that many users for a discrim function anyway

u need just 1 actually

I'm being generous

[wheat mesa]

Have you considered not scraping your previous embed and instead just saving the users? Not sure why you’re bothering with that, I have never seen a proper use case for scraping your own embed

Not to mention there is no reason to have an await there

People gotta stop slapping await on everything for no reason and look at their IDE telling them that it does nothing

[solemn latch]

awaiting things for no reason is probably a bad thing

why not just use it on promises?

[sharp geyser]

await a non-promise just wraps it in a promise

[lament rock]

await has no effect positive or negative on non promise returning properties/methods

[sharp geyser]

and changes execution order

[solemn latch]

your ide tells you

[lament rock]

Press control a and then press backspace and start again

[sharp geyser]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55262996/does-awaiting-a-non-promise-have-any-detectable-effect

This post seemed to explain how awaiting a non-promise effects your code

[boreal iron]

Maybe more people are actually using notepad than you might think

[stuck dawn]

anyone knows why on class in typescript the keyword this is null?

[sharp geyser]

How are you using this in the class?

[stuck dawn]

to call a function in the same class

[solemn latch]

your ide will tell you that too

[sharp geyser]

show code

[solemn latch]

https://i.imgur.com/VvpR4Zm.png

[sharp geyser]

I don't see how this can be null

[sharp geyser]

vscode problems

[solemn latch]

the three grey ... means "hey look at this"

[sharp geyser]

That looks normal to me

I don't see how this is null for you

[stuck dawn]

like

[sharp geyser]

That's weird

[earnest phoenix]

The extensions have nothing to do with it as it's built-in to VSCode, it should let you know if the typings are correct

If the return type of a function is not a Promise and you use the await keyword on it, it'll let you know about that

It's already enabled by default

[lament rock]

are you setting the function to a callback where the function doesn't retain the this reference?
eg: eventemitter.on("thing", thing.characterSelectionUI);

if that's the case, you need to call .bind

[solemn latch]

tbh, I'd reset my vsc to default if I didnt have that on for some reason.

not just for the await thing, but everything.

[lament rock]

in the config, there's a strict type checking option everyone should have turned on

[solemn latch]

that too

[stuck dawn]

actually i am doing that but .bind expects one argument that argument is this right?

[lament rock]

correct, in the example case, you would do
eventemitter.on("thing", thing.characterSelectionUI.bind(thing))

[lament rock]

nope

set to EventsManager instead of this in the bind

this would be referencing globalThis

[stuck dawn]

ohhh yeah that worked thank you :)

[lament rock]

it's less characters to just write arrow functions though

[wheat mesa]

But… variables are a thing you know

Why waste a few thousand cpu cycles on processing a regex for something you could just have super cache friendly available for it 🥺

[lament rock]

regex compile time isn't funny

at least set regexes in the global scope

[earnest phoenix]

Your usage of the await keyword is mostly correct, although the said suggestions provided by the VSCode refactoring system should appear at these lines for example
https://gist.github.com/IThundxr/a6478c811198830927766bef5c667db9#file-application-js-L178-L179

Since you're using the await keyword on something that is not a promise, if it doesn't show up then the typings are unknown here so VSCode doesn't know what to suggest

If you hover over it, it should show up the typings, if it's any then it's unknown

[lament rock]

not to be confused with the type unknown

[sharp geyser]

tbh you don't even really need to await the .send() either no?

I don't see a real reason to await it unless you are going to use the result from the promise

[solemn latch]

theres a lot that probably doesnt need to be awaited even if they are promises.

[earnest phoenix]

What does it say when you hover over them?

[sharp geyser]

or if you want it to run and wait for it to be done until it runs everything else

[lament rock]

If you're writing pure JS, you need to use JSDoc on most things for VSCode to give good typings

new string[] initializers when

[sharp geyser]

no

[lament rock]

might as well make ts similar to C#

[wheat mesa]

If you don’t await a promise and it rejects, it will not be caught by try catch blocks, you’d only be able to catch it with .catch

[earnest phoenix]

It should at least say any if it doesn't know the typings, you're either hovering over the wrong thing, or you're using an extension or some kind that overrides the IntelliSense, which is bad

[sharp geyser]

Ah right

Forgot about that

[lament rock]

co pilot does that

[sharp geyser]

But tbh I don't ever use try catch blocks anyway

they make my code look ugly

[wheat mesa]

Misty refuses to handle errors

[lament rock]

co pilot blocks a lot of intellisense

[wheat mesa]

So badass

[sharp geyser]

I use .catch and shit

doesn't that do essentially the same thing?

[wheat mesa]

Lots of .catch makes me wanna puke

[sharp geyser]

🤷‍♀️

cry about it

[wheat mesa]

Callback hell

[earnest phoenix]

I've used it a lot and it only overrides the IntelliSense of the property/method lists when it's trying to suggest a property/method

[lament rock]

You can't return in the parent scope unless you void 0 in the catch and check for truthiness

[earnest phoenix]

Copilot is pretty smart in most cases, but sometimes it has those edge cases

[wheat mesa]

@earnest phoenix can you get rid of null, undefined, and errors and instead just make js like rust 😉

[lament rock]

which is very often for me

I stopped using co pilot

I'm smart enough for all of the projects I write

[earnest phoenix]

I would if it didn't break 90% of the web, ...and the applications/libraries/projects

[lament rock]

void 0

just use rust

interpreted languages will always have to have runtime errors

otherwise, you just have blue screens to debug

[earnest phoenix]

Rust is just amazing, it's error messages feel like it utilizes an AI

[sharp geyser]

I thought you hated rust voltrex

[lament rock]

I tried to use rust, but its syntax and paradigms turned me off really fast

[earnest phoenix]

Python users when they realize it's 66x slower than JavaScript, and 70x slower than C/C++ and Rust

[lament rock]

otherwise, I'd use it in combo with Neon to write node native addons

[wheat mesa]

The error messages are truly beautiful. Pretty printing errors is something that even if it doesn’t provide a whole ton of information to the user, it looks so much cleaner and less confusing than a massive stacktrace with a line number

[earnest phoenix]

I don't hate Rust in anyway, just the community that try to dickride Rust for absolutely no reason instead of taking constructive criticism

Rust users try to acknowledge the flaws of the language challenge just like the users of any other languages

[wheat mesa]

Thats true. The main problem is that when I see people criticizing rust it feels like they’re attacking the language for very niche reasons

Similar to the way people attack javascript’s weird type coercion behavior that you rarely ever have a problem with

Like 90% of the time in the C++ discord people say rust is garbage because it’s hard to implement a simple thing like a linked list without the use of unsafe

And then they ignore the other billion reasons to use rust because of that one thing

[sharp geyser]

can't implement a linked list with safe rust?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, but generally Rust users are just something else

[sharp geyser]

damn never using it again

[wheat mesa]

You can, people just see that the standard implementation for it uses unsafe

[earnest phoenix]

Waffle you're like one of the sanest Rust users I've ever seen

[wheat mesa]

C++ users try not to ignore ```rs
pub enum LinkedList {
None
Node(Box<LinkedList>)
}

Challenge

Difficulty impossible

[earnest phoenix]

Then yeah that's why it has no idea on what to suggest, you need to assert that the interaction is an instance of a interaction that contains the message property, such as the ButtonInteraction

[sharp geyser]

Looks like a bunch of gibberish to me

[wheat mesa]

Probably because I didn’t start out with rust, I actually tried a ton of other languages before doing it

I feel like a lot of people go straight from c to rust and either really love it or really hate it, no in between

I think it’s great for certain things but for other things it can be painful sometimes

Also writing code that utilizes unsafe makes me feel cool

(If it’s a valid use of it)

[sudden geyser]

why not use the built-in linked list

[wheat mesa]

Precisely

Seems like a lot of people criticize rust for having a lot of unsafe sprinkled around the standard lib but then don’t acknowledge the fact that it’s already written for you so why does the implementation matter

[sudden geyser]

I think Rust's community is fine, though there seems to be a split in mentality between people writing it for low-level and high-level code.

[earnest phoenix]

Let me dumb it down for you, since the interaction argument you're using in your code, it can have multiple types, such as CommandInteraction, ButtonInteraction, SelectMenuInteraction, etc etc; but that part of the code I just highlighted, VSCode doesn't know what type of interaction you're currently using, so it doesn't know if it has the message property which is why it's type shows up as any in your case

You can do something like this:

import { InteractionType } from 'discord.js';

...

if (interaction.type === InteractionType.MessageComponent) {
  // Do things that use the `message` property, because the `message` property only exists on interactions that are message components.
}

[sudden geyser]

Actix-web is a prime example of that, since the maintainer used unsafe soundly and for performance reasons but contributors didn't like it since there were safer ways to do so.

And you can see it in some of the standard library's APIs

[wheat mesa]

I mostly don’t care at all about the use of unsafe until it becomes excessive

A lot of the usage of unsafe is primarily in the lowest of levels

Such as in langdev where you need to use transmute to obtain a function pointer to machine code that was generated via JIT compilation

[radiant kraken]

I spammed unsafe everywhere in my Rust code

idc what other people say about it

[earnest phoenix]

Usage of the unsafe keyword and blocks is absolutely fine if it's necessary, because not everything can be done in Rust's safe way

[radiant kraken]

like if i know that something is not None then i would use .unwrap_unchecked() over .unwrap()

because there is no point in checking

[sharp geyser]

yknow what i should do

[sudden geyser]

but why it is an option then

[sharp geyser]

get off my ass and actually code something for the first time in 3 months

[sharp geyser]

I feel like rust is the type of language where you will eventually end up doing something unsafe anyway

[sudden geyser]

though honestly I think the low-high level split is rust's greatest weakness

[radiant kraken]

#[forbid(unsafe_code)] is just stupid

[earnest phoenix]

Not if you know that you'll never be touching something unsafe (excluding the standard library functions that use unsafe code aggressively)

[radiant kraken]

Because they do

[wheat mesa]

Chances are in rust somewhere in your project there will be a use of unsafe, whether it’s by you or by a dependency

Which is perfectly fine

It doesn’t degrade the overall safety of the language, there are just some areas where it’s not a “one size fits all” type situation

[earnest phoenix]

"Unsafety" exists in almost every code regardless of how perfect it may seem, so indeed

Then again not everything can be done in Rust's safe way

Especially when you're working with something bare metal

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

[radiant kraken]

unsafe {
  let ptr = std::ptr::null() as *const u8;
  let troll = *ptr;
}``` ![sdTroll](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/887041360413212692.webp?size=128 "sdTroll")

[quartz kindle]

is that basically null pointer exception?

[radiant kraken]

no

[sudden geyser]

try it out

[wheat mesa]

Pretty sure that just Segfaults

[radiant kraken]

i doubt

it worked for me

[wheat mesa]

YOU KILLED FERRIS 😭😭😭😭😭😭

He’s dead

[ancient nova]

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm
https://godbolt.org/z/nooxc9eME

No crash here

[hidden gorge]

is AWS or Google Cloud better for a datebase?

[wheat mesa]

I believe it depends on the environment, rust playground likely has some sandboxing done differently

I’m sure on some systems it’ll just give you random memory garbage back

But it’s definitely UB so nothing is guaranteed

[earnest phoenix]

You're running it through the Rust playground?

[wheat mesa]

That bot runs it through rust playground yeah

I’m on mobile

So I can’t test on my system

[earnest phoenix]

I mean you can definitely still use our compiler explorer :^)

But it can look a bit zoned out on mobile

[wheat mesa]

Yeah the mobile experience isn’t as great

Plus I just threw it into a discord bot since I didn’t feel like pulling up godbolt

[radiant kraken]

You're welcome

[ancient nova]

how should I set up donations for my bot?

[radiant kraken]

yes

[radiant kraken]

our?

[wheat mesa]

buy me a coffee or patreon or stuff like that

Don’t try to set up your own financial stuff like that though, let a professional company handle it

[ancient nova]

I was thinking paypal, and just use a paypal.me link for donations

[ancient nova]

prolly that's why paypal is a bad idea ig

[wheat mesa]

Buy me a coffee is PayPal I believe

[ancient nova]

or is it

oh is it*

[earnest phoenix]

We (the LLVM Developer Group) actually develop the compiler explorer and maintain it since we use it all the time, like excessively

The Godbolt usage is almost everywhere in the development of LLVM

[wheat mesa]

I can see why, it’s a very convenient tool and very fast to see what kind of optimizations that happen

[radiant kraken]

Can LLVM optimize me

[wheat mesa]

I use it at school just out of curiosity to see how smart LLVM is

Try to see what it can see

[earnest phoenix]

Honestly it's kinda satisfying to see all the optimizations and their differences in different optimization levels, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, z, s, etc etc

[ancient nova]

I can't login into paypal since I changed my number and lost my old sim card

what do I do?

[earnest phoenix]

There's also fast but we don't talk about that, it's optimizations are too aggressive in ways that it avoids being complaint with the standards

[quartz kindle]

i would always use fast then

:^)

[ancient nova]

bruh wtf I can't contact paypal without logging into my account LIKE BITCH I NEED TO ASK ABOUT MY ACCOUNT

😭

[wheat mesa]

I’ve seen fast before

Some of the things it does are questionable yet really giga brain

[radiant kraken]

Like what

[ancient nova]

yooo can anyone acc told me cause I cannot change the number

[wheat mesa]

I can’t remember the specific example but there was something someone compiled in the rust server that I didn’t expect it to optimize

[ancient nova]

so...

[wheat mesa]

There’s your solution

[ancient nova]

[drifting cairn]

i woke back up

[quartz kindle]

thank god i never had issues with paypal

[earnest phoenix]

The experience is way smoother than Windows, and way faster; especially for development as you mentioned as most of the things you need for development and building/compiling is easily given to you instead of using something like Visual Studio as the base builder for things on Windows

And most of the software you need is already available for Linux (well most of the popular Linux distributions at least), although not all software is available of course but there are ways to run it

If you need something that is Windows-only and necessarily need it, then I wouldn't recommend switching over, but I'm sure everything you need is available, and you can customize a ton of things for your liking to make things easier

Other than those, everything else is just better in every way

[ancient nova]

bruh paypal tweaking 😭😭😭

[drifting cairn]

same, if i do have issues they get fixed quickly

[quartz kindle]

b-b-but gaming :(

[radiant kraken]

Linux is for nerds

Not gamers

[quartz kindle]

what if youre both

[radiant kraken]

Use Windows 👍

I mean Wine

[quartz kindle]

i only drink sweet wine

[wheat mesa]

I think I’ll end up swapping to linux on that machine fairly soon then. I’m going to need this laptop for college next year, and I’d rather not shell out the money for a fancy one, so linux can probably take the most advantage of the hardware I have in it and make it last as long as I can possibly go before needing an upgrade

[earnest phoenix]

Gaming on Linux these days is just solid, most of the games you need can already be played at almost the native level using compatibility layers such as Wine, Steam Proton, and various other launchers, such as the Heroic Launcher as the replacement for the Epic Games Store/launcher

[ancient nova]

nahhhh

third time I tried logging in

WHY

I can AND I did log in on website

[radiant kraken]

What about the BIOS thing

[ancient nova]

but the mobile app just doesn't wanna log me the fucc in

:scream-1: :scream-1: :scream-1:

[radiant kraken]

Emoji fail

[ancient nova]

it redirects me to the website where it tells me that it freaking failed

[earnest phoenix]

Manufacturers these days provide native builds of their BIOS update utilities for their PCs, however since my laptop's manufacturer (Lenovo) didn't see much use of Linux in the old days, it didn't provide one for the older ones, but now they do for the newer ones

[wheat mesa]

My laptop is Lenovo too :troll:

[radiant kraken]

Switch then 👍

[earnest phoenix]

However not all manufacturers are the same, a decent amount of manufacturers provide BIOS update utilities natively for Linux for a long time

[ancient nova]

acc gonna need me a paypal alternative

[quartz kindle]

rip

[earnest phoenix]

And BIOS updates are not necessary as long as your PC works fine, but is recommended

[ancient nova]

what's the best one

[radiant kraken]

dualboot ez

[wheat mesa]

Valorant not running on Linux is based

[ancient nova]

wine is bad anyway , it rarely even works

[wheat mesa]

But I’m sorry for your LoL situation 😔

[ancient nova]

I mean it's not bad but doesn't work for most games

[earnest phoenix]

The main reason Valorant doesn't run on Linux is because of it's anti-cheat, since it's not natively available for Linux

[quartz kindle]

i remember last time i tried installing drivers for my laptop nvidia gpu i bricked my linux and had to reinstall

xD

[radiant kraken]

Use Wine then /s

[earnest phoenix]

The newer versions of Wine are Godly, it works for almost everything

[wheat mesa]

Valorant’s anticheat is basically Chinese government level spyware ngl

[radiant kraken]

If i call the NtRaiseHardError function what would Wine do with it

[quartz kindle]

does that display a windows error box?

[ancient nova]

bruh if u run any of my games on wine they're gonna look corrupted 😭😭😭

[radiant kraken]

No, it BSODs your windows pc

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[ancient nova]

like I'm taking textures, sound all purple

[wheat mesa]

But just edit your registry so you can make them run better :troll:

[earnest phoenix]

Then use Steam Proton, because it's specialized for games

Steam allows running of non-Steam games as well

[ancient nova]

Kernel Panic?

[earnest phoenix]

I want to know how to make it work all the time

Kernel panics are not necessary BSODs, although you can count them as one in some way

[quartz kindle]

literally have it running all the time

dont close it

[ancient nova]

can anyone send me like 1 cent just to confirm that it's working?

[earnest phoenix]

My bot on Repilit Hosting stops working automatically every five minutes

[ancient nova]

idfk if it's the correct account I just went to paypal.me/myusernamehere

but prolly, the same profile picture showed up

[quartz kindle]

replit doesnt support that by default, so you have to use a pinger service to keep it alive. im not sure if that still works tho

[earnest phoenix]

Can you send me the links to the site that made the bot work?

[ancient nova]

I wanna make my own paypal client

[tropic adder]

I used replit when I started coding
But you can use uptimerobot to ping your repl

[ancient nova]

is that possible?

😈

[wheat mesa]

Dealing with transactions is a complex and difficult task, especially regarding legality

There is a reason that people don’t like reinventing the wheel for that sort of stuff

When the government is involved, it will be annoying to make

[quartz kindle]

create a webserver inside your bot, for example ```js
const express = require('express');
const server = express();

server.all(/, (req, res) => {
res.send(pong);
});

server.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
console.log("ping server online");
});

then create an account on some pinger service, like uptimerobot, and create a new automatic ping task to ping your replit url every 5 minutes

[earnest phoenix]

UpTimerobot It does not keep the bot online all the time

[wheat mesa]

“Oops I accidentally committed 5 counts of felony tax evasion and 3 counts of wire fraud”

[ancient nova]

paypal is totally garbage

paypal is the worst banking app ever

[tropic adder]

Sometimes replit force stop your repl

[ancient nova]

I have never seen a worse website ever

[drifting cairn]

[wheat mesa]

Wait until you see any government website ever created

[ancient nova]

AND I CAN'T LOG BACK IN AGAIN

[radiant kraken]

Don't use paypal, send the money directly 👍

[earnest phoenix]

Should I put this code in my project?

[ancient nova]

god help the next person who picks up the customer service cause I'll be screaming so hard I'll rupture their eardrums

[drifting cairn]

cant u just use patreon and just withdraw to ur bank thru that

[ancient nova]

good idea

[wheat mesa]

I’ve heard that patreon is a better experience than dealing with any sort of PayPal dogshit

[ancient nova]

definitely, many people seem to use patreon so might as well try

[wheat mesa]

Use onlyfans for your bot’s premium subscription 😉

[drifting cairn]

other than a bunch of fees and taking most of your money, they're pretty good

[drifting cairn]

ayo wtf

[quartz kindle]

if you already used uptimerobot, you should already have that code in your project

[wheat mesa]

OnlyFans is not just for nsfw dealings, before that was popularized it’s basically just like another patreon

[ancient nova]

gonna show them what,the bots juicy code? 😂😂

[earnest phoenix]

"Oh man this code got me actin' up"

😭

LMAO

[wheat mesa]

"oh my god dereference that null pointer harder"

[ancient nova]

That’s it

Not that anyone every donates anyways

But as long as you can dream it…

[ancient nova]

😭 maybe.. just maybe

[sharp geyser]

yea nah

gl champ but it aint your bot they will donate too

[ancient nova]

bruh relax they might just will and u know it

https://www.patreon.com/itsyoboibae how is that? does it work?

[lyric mountain]

I hope you're not trying to use patreon api

[ancient nova]

what does this mean also?

[ancient nova]

why not?

I wanted to use it for perks in my bots, I assumed I'd be able to check who is my patron

[lyric mountain]

You'll not succeed

[ancient nova]

wot why

[lyric mountain]

Patreon api is among the worst ever created

[ancient nova]

even worse than mine?

[quartz kindle]

its worse than paypal's

[ancient nova]

oh god it's awful then

[lyric mountain]

Don't underestimate patreon api

[quartz kindle]

and paypal's api is already one of the worst in the world

[ancient nova]

I haven't even used paypals api yet, but I can tell it would be just awful by the experiences I just had with the application and the website together

[lyric mountain]

They not only send a kilometer-long response, but the entire thing repeats a ton of sections so u don't really know what data you'll be using

Split by space, [0]

[quartz kindle]

and the one thing you want, to know if x user is pledged or not, is hidden behind layers and layers of useless info

[lyric mountain]

If u use space as delimiter

[ancient nova]

dam I will still maybe try but tomorrow as I don't have the strength to deal with this any longer

at least the page is set up which is good enough for me

"PayPal"

I kinda wanna do it as I've dealed with paypal before it went to shit so Ik how to get money out of it but idk

should I just do it directly to my bank?

[lyric mountain]

Remember both take quite a big tax off your income

[ancient nova]

paypal takes 1% which is basically nothing

or is there some hidden tax?

[lyric mountain]

Well...yes, as all transactions have

[quartz kindle]

depending on which country your paypal is from, there can be an additional receiving tax and conversion fees

[lyric mountain]

The "small" percentages end up adding a lot

[ancient nova]

aw man

[sharp geyser]

Oh good fucking luck if you are implementing paypal with their oauth2 docs

[ancient nova]

my only tier is called buy me a coffee which is 3$ 😭

[sharp geyser]

You don't like reading docs to begin with

so you will def hate paypal docs

they are so fucking bad

[ancient nova]

yes, yes yes I know, I just tried logging it 5 times, scream at the poor customer support dude for an hour cause I couldn't log in

in the end I gave up and tried using patreon for donations
