Hey guys, i recently update my Visual studio code to the last version and now i'...
That warning/error is thrown by TypeScript, your types are too complex to compute either due to a bug in your types causing infinite recursion, or simply overnested typings
It could also be that you're using recursive types incorrectly
thorn spruce
yep i investigate and i saw that, i'm currently using Vscode with this extension and they just push @types/node to the version 18.8.4 which made this error.
( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next)
thorn spruce
It could also be that you're using recursive types incorrectly
Honestly i don't know i just use the documentation of sequelize
earnest phoenix
That's probably the reason, you shouldn't use nightly extensions
thorn spruce
what do you mean
earnest phoenix
The TypeScript-Next extension you just linked for VSCode is nightly, meaning that any new changes pushed to TypeScript will be available as a new release in VSCode, it probably contains this bug that causes that warning/error to be incorrectly shown
thorn spruce
ahhh
Yep obviously but which extension i should use to see typing error?
type typo idk how write that
earnest phoenix
You don't need any extensions, VSCode deeply supports both JavaScript and TypeScript by default because it's literally written in it

Alright, Thanks you for your time bro ! Also maybe you have some guide or tutorial to learn typescript in a deeper way? Because i'know the basis of typescript but not really more

figured that one out lmao
i wanna store an array in a different file for cleanliness but im not sure how to pull that off
lyric mountain
wdym?
uneven tartan
i mean i have a massive array that i need to use for autocomplete
and i dont want to have it with my events cause of that reason
its a single line array
lyric mountain
u could use a dictionary file
I have something like that for my shiritori game
tho mine is encoded in a way I can simply jump to relevant words instead of checking each line
uneven tartan
ok heres what i did
lyric mountain
all u need is to have a file with one word per line, then simply stream the file
uneven tartan
i have a cars.js file
with a defined array

why not json?

why does that prevent using json?

json is literally made for that, containing fixed data that is loaded on startup

i can do that somehow
i have no idea how

rustic nova
caching
keep a memory based collection of your data, occasionally push onto your database
I generally recommend against having your bot directly access your database and instead have it push onto your database occasionally, like every hour or so
this should also allow quicker handling of when you're rewarding users for their levels

then what if bot restart or crash? this way all the data in cache will remove before the data base update
quartz kindle
id use a local persistent cache such as lmdb, or even sqlite
but otherwise its possible to listen to kill signals and schedule a function to be run before node exits completely
kill signals work differently on different operating systems tho, so youd have to test every possibility to make sure

then its a remote database

eternal osprey
the google test of my school says different

If u simply skip newlines you'll still get junk because of wrong matrix size
lyric mountain
How can I make a message send to a channel if it contains a message in py?
Retrieve message history
If the message is there, send whatever u want to
lyric mountain
No because newlines are different depending on what was used to save the file
And u still need to retrieve the correct matrix size
Also that code is invalid because '' is for char, not string

earnest phoenix
Doesn't this run when the program is compiling though?
Yes, directives are run only at compile time, they're replaced by the preprocessor but they can also use them in this case because they have to compile their program
cinder patio
sharing the executable won't work then tho
lyric mountain
Directives are runtime no? My job uses them for linux/windows compat
That said, we use delphi not c++
earnest phoenix
Directives are run before the code is even compiled, they have their own processor, which basically just replaces the values
eternal osprey
Get the actual matrix size, excluding non-valid chars basically
how would i exclude the non-valid chars?
lyric mountain
Whitelist instead
eternal osprey
maybe i should just use a while loop to make it easier?

Since u only use 2 predefined chars
earnest phoenix
sharing the executable won't work then tho
Huh? It should work no matter what because it's compiled either way, unless you mean something else
lyric mountain
A while won't fix bad logic
It's the same as for but less appropriate for the job

universe[k][n] = Live;

wheat mesa
Is \r\n even valid as a single character
pale vessel
boreal iron
Why do check if z != … and z == … in the same statement?
If z is LIVE or DEAD it’s not your line break chars automatically
lyric mountain
```c++
if(z == '\r\n'){
n--;
}
if(z != '\r...
you see, in c++ (and most langs) '' is for char (as I said before)
char stands for character, as in, a single character
\r\n is two chars (CRLF - carriage return & line feed)
and as fake said, if it's equal to LIVE it'll automatically not be equal to anything else
your logic itself is flawed since if u do n-- you'll get an infinite loop
wheat mesa
I’m surprised that it would let you write more than one character in a char literal without screaming at you
lyric mountain
I'm also not sure == "string" is a valid operation, if cpp uses a string pool that is
lyric mountain
tho == 'c' is valid (char is a number)
eternal osprey
if(z == '\n'){
n--;
}
if(z != '\n'&& z == LIVE){
universe[k][n] = Live;
}
if(z != '\n' && z== DEAD){
universe[k][n] = Dead;
}
```you'll get an infinite loop & wrong results if it has a carriage return
infinite loop for anything else
wheat mesa
I'm also not sure `== "string"` is a valid operation, if cpp uses a string pool ...
It’s valid
It’s an overloaded operator, since strings are part of the stdlib and not built into the language
lyric mountain
ah ic
earnest phoenix
I’m surprised that it would let you write more than one character in a char lite...
Not until you tell the compiler to include all warnings :^)
Although technically multi-character characters are valid as long as they don't exceed the char limit, but can cause unexpected behaviors
wheat mesa
Is a char not one byte? I thought one byte was guaranteed, then it may or may not be larger due to padding
earnest phoenix
Is a char not one byte? I thought one byte was guaranteed, then it may or may no...
They're exactly one byte, that's why I said multi-character characters are valid as long as they don't exceed that one byte range, which \r\n does not
wheat mesa
Ah
radiant kraken
how
wheat mesa
I was assuming it would treat it as concatenating them, not adding them together

if u treat it as 2 chars u get those 2 inside parens
another example is á
2 chars, but 1 char
radiant kraken
that doesnt make any sense
earnest phoenix
Why the fuck is this even a supported thing to do
Multi-character characters are not entirely defined by the C/C++ standards and some implementors took the advantage to implement them which are held as pure numbers instead of the complexity of strings, surrogate pairs are also a part of why this was implemented
lyric mountain
that thing alone is enough to wreck most mysql bot databases

Strings cannot be optimized by the compilers, they're set in stone as ASCII values in the register, and used when needed which it has to be fetched from a very far region of the register regions, which can make things slower while characters are just numbers that can be modified in the ways it desires for an optimized execution, and they aren't placed far from the other registers since they're just numbers
Internally strings also hold a considerable amount of differing implementations compared to chars, ranging from growing their size to the concerning case of overheads due to the way they're packed together

😔👍
earnest phoenix
both
To dumb it down for people who are not familiar with codegen and optimization passes
- Strings are packed together in a way that hold a reference to each character, and are placed extremely far away from everything in the Assembly output for example, due to their overhead and differing implementations
- Since characters aren't packed at all and are just their ASCII values, the compiler knows how to optimize it given the context, and are placed right into the registers normally instead of putting them far away from all the regions in the registers
- Strings and characters do hold some similarities in case of their implementation, but most other parts are different due to how they're handled, indexing, comparisons, passes, references, and others

earnest phoenix
So a struct with a char as a field could technically have more than one byte in ...
The extra bytes allocated for the struct aren't given/forwarded towards the char field in any way, their sizes are completely different from each other as char will still have it's own size, but since it's inside the struct and you try to get the struct's size, it'll count not only the struct's size, but also all of it's field types' sizes combined, basically:
// Let's consider this struct's size as 4 bytes.
struct Foo {
// This will be a single byte still.
char bar;
};
// They have their own sizes, the character for example will still have the size of a single byte even though the parent struct is 4 bytes
// When you try to get it's size, you're getting the total size
sizeof(Foo); // 5 bytes
because your array size is different to the actual data size

does C++ have a split_newlines function in their string standard library
lyric mountain
if I know his teacher well, they can't use std libs
eternal osprey
yup
i've already removed the newlines
ran some google tests and my array seems to be equivalent to the precoded one
radiant kraken
if I know his teacher well, they can't use std libs
why
how are you supposed to write a c++ program without ever touching the std library
lyric mountain
so you can see everything
ur reading each char and adding either 0 or 1 based on whether they're . or *, ok
however
there are characters that don't fit in either, namely newlines
this is your issue
radiant kraken
you will touch the std library or at least a third-party library at some point
lyric mountain
if u make an array that's 1:1 to the file, you'll get 1-2 columns of junk, because there's where the newline chars would be
eternal osprey
seems to be good
40x60 all either dead or alive
so that means that the newlines have been filtered out successfully

At this point their teacher will probably tell them to write their own compiler instead of using an already existing one :^)
Teachers these days are weird
lyric mountain

this adventure goes a long way already, just search for chitty messages in this channel
the teacher forces him to write 100 lines where a single std call would suffice
programmers don't work like this, we don't reinvent the wheel for every single task ffs
this is basically the reason most people end college hating java
eternal osprey

because stubborn teachers insist on using java 1.1

conway's is dynamically generated from the current game state
you're just making a renderer
the actual simulation logic is much more complex
eternal osprey
I have one big issue here tho.
lyric mountain
what issue?
slender wagon
hmm is it against the rules to use a in-app api with fetch
eternal osprey
I must check if the dead characters have 3 live characters around them, and i must also check if the live characters have > 3 live ones around them, or only dead ones.
lyric mountain
hmm is it against the rules to use a in-app api with fetch
?
eternal osprey
However, i cannot do that when i am at the end of the line.
As it will only have 3 contactpoints instead of 8 \0/
slender wagon
example i made a an API just for my site and someone uses it on their own app
eternal osprey
Must i create like 6 different if statements for each side?
lyric mountain
However, i cannot do that when i am at the end of the line.
simply check if the next value is bigger than the boundaries
slender wagon
so lets say i go to your site get your api and use it on my own app
your api isn't public
lyric mountain
it depends on the api provider
eternal osprey
simply check if the next value is bigger than the boundaries
but how would i check if it has 3 alive around them, or only dead ones?
earnest phoenix
That would be your fault if they're able to just use it without any authentication
eternal osprey
I've got this: ```c++
void check_walls(Cell now[NO_OF_ROWS][NO_OF_COLUMNS], Cell next[NO_OF_ROWS][NO_OF_COLUMNS])
{
int dead_with_live_neighbour = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_ROWS; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < NO_OF_COLUMNS; j++)
{
if (i >= 0 && j == 0)
{
dead_with_live_neighbour = static_cast<int>(cell_at(now, i, j++) + cell_at(now, i++, j) + cell_at(now, i++, j++));
if (now[i][j] == Dead)
{
if (dead_with_live_neighbour == 3)
{
next[i][j] = Live;
}
else
{
next[i][j] = Dead;
}
}
else if (now[i][j] == Live)
{
if (dead_with_live_neighbour >= 2)
{
next[i][j] = Live;
}
else
{
next[i][j] = Dead;
}
}
}```
Private APIs should be guarded with authentication
lyric mountain
but how would i check if it has 3 alive around them, or only dead ones?
if it's outside of the boundaries it's presumed to be dead

the first row will always be the keys (if u structured it like that)

read how conway works
eternal osprey
They will only have 5.
lyric mountain
you're making a simulator, not a pipe bomb
cinder patio
dude there are thousands of examples of creating conway's game of life
lyric mountain
simulators rely heavily on working formulas
if u add if-else everywhere you'll only get more and more side-cases where it fails
that's where yandev failed
the way I'd approach conway's is by first making a matrix wrapper where I could get a cell by supplying x and y directly getCell(x, y), which would have methods to retrieve its neighbors
eternal osprey
i've already have that
lyric mountain
that way I could use OOP to let the simulation work by itself
eternal osprey
cell_at!
lyric mountain
but I bet it returns the char, not an object
the part ur missing is that the cells aren't aware of what's around them
they need to be so they can "think" for themselves
eternal osprey
The code only needs to run once
lyric mountain
conway is an infinite simulation, it should be able to run infinitely
eternal osprey
well not in this assignment
lyric mountain
do it right regardless
cinder patio
how often it runs should be separated from the main logic anyways
that's irrelevant
eternal osprey
Design and implement a function that computes the next configuration of the universe according to the
“Game of Life” rules.
The array now is the current configuration of the universe, the array next contains the next configuration
of the universe. Use cell_at (part 1) to retrieve the correct (neighbor) cell values in now. Test your
implementation by reading a universe configuration file,
computing one transition step, and showing the resulting universe on the console.
cinder patio
there's versions where it runs infinitely, there's versions when a human controls how fast it happens, etc

How about just not
wheat mesa
But that would be a hell of a project, might as well just remake the entire thing at that point
earnest phoenix
that's what Someone sent me
and I said I'll see what I can do
I don't know java
lament rock
I do not think Minecraft is a good medium to monetize something regardless of if it fits in the TOS
earnest phoenix
but they want it to sell ranks for cheaper fees
wheat mesa
Java is very different from js in many ways. It's not feasible to convert that to a minecraft-based backend either way
Just use an already well established plugin like Buycraft or whatever it's called
earnest phoenix
well I mostly wanted to keep the website format after viewing
earnest phoenix
Just use an already well established plugin like Buycraft or whatever it's calle...
yeah they wanted an alternative because of BuyCraft's fee
wheat mesa
Then have a UI in minecraft that redirects to a page like that on a browser
wheat mesa
yeah they wanted an alternative because of BuyCraft's fee
The unfortunate truth is that most things involving transactions are not going to be made out of the goodness of someone's heart. There is almost always a fee associated with transactions
lament rock
payment processing will always have a fee
earnest phoenix
yeah they said on here their was a cheaper fee than buycraft
lament rock
whether it be a considerable amount of time or money for instant transactions
wheat mesa
They could set up their own website with like paypal donations or something, not sure how that compares to buycraft
Everything regarding that is going to take a percentage though
earnest phoenix
They could set up their own website with like paypal donations or something, not...
Automations
yeah
wheat mesa
People are going to have to pay somehow
earnest phoenix
I could remake the code and sell it lmfao
the developer did a good job, I will give him credit
wheat mesa
So there's probably going to need to be a website regardless
earnest phoenix
yeah
wheat mesa
Just automate paypal, I heard it's hell but it can work
lament rock
No real way to do it without because oauth2 requires a redirect URI
earnest phoenix
yeah
wheat mesa
(except if you have an unreliable backend)
earnest phoenix
so I've been allowing dynmap to render on the server
and it's using 10 GB of ram
Dynmap alone
lament rock
instead, I'd make sure the user has an account in game, then create a transaction flow with a reference number and then once the payment is done, get the user data by reference number and apply rewards
wheat mesa
idk what dynmap is
lament rock
an interactive map on the web
earnest phoenix
Google earth map for minecraft
lament rock
Is this a paper or a fabric/forge server
wheat mesa
Why should that use so much RAM? Seems excessive to me, unless your world is absolutely massive

wanna see?
wheat mesa
Oh wait does it keep track of 3d data
earnest phoenix
lament rock
probably paper since you mentioned luckperms, but options that allow you to load paper plugins on modded platforms exist
earnest phoenix
all of it
wheat mesa
Ok that's why
lament rock
You can make use of modded platforms to achieve a lot of performance enhancements
wheat mesa
Sounds like a big waste of memory to me for a feature that really doesn't add much to the server tbh
earnest phoenix
people requested it
once it's done rendering
the ram will cool down
but it's basically guidance
wheat mesa
Oh I assumed that it was live rendering
earnest phoenix
if your in north america you could get to south america with a map
earnest phoenix
Oh I assumed that it was live rendering
nah, I render it monthly on the secound week

dynmap my beloved
lament rock
I was able to fit a heavily modded server into a 2GB VM
wheat mesa
you know what I learned yesterday that disgusted me
earnest phoenix
what
wheat mesa
apparently the java compiler doesn't inline functions at compile time
it does it during runtime
lament rock
:)
wheat mesa
(also I am a thorough believer in adding an inline keyword to hint the compiler to inline something)
lament rock
remake minecraft java's server in c++
I think that already exists with something like waterfall though
might not be the actual name
earnest phoenix

this is the map
I zoomed out to get the whole thing
wheat mesa
To be fair making a server isn’t too hard, it doesn’t require any rendering and it’s (I think) fairly well documented on what the server needs to do
earnest phoenix
in minecraft
lament rock
nvm it isn't waterfall. waterfall is basically horizontal scaling of servers as "lobbies" I guess
This is probably gonna keep me up at night
earnest phoenix
what is?
lament rock
there's a platform that allows both java and bedrock clients to join
earnest phoenix
geyser
wheat mesa
Cuberite is a C++ server for minecraft
earnest phoenix
Geyser is the plugin
for waterfall, Bungeecord, Spigot
Geyser allows java and bedrock crossplay
lament rock
Geyser is still made in Java though
wheat mesa
lament rock
earnest phoenix
Geyser is still made in Java though
so this plugin isn't made in java? the one your talking about
wheat mesa
He’s talking about a custom server implementation
In c++
Since you’re never directly dealing with the mc client, you don’t need any Java to write a server
lament rock
I could write one in JS
wheat mesa
Already exists
wheat mesa
I think it’s called like mineflayer
Yeah it is
Oh wait
This isn’t what I was thinking of
This is a botting API
Not a server
earnest phoenix
@wheat mesa you can find everything, Find me a botting API with AI in the bots. The server I'm working on is gonna have a prison and I wanted to bot the guards with AI
we call it the ban prison
whenevre you get banned
wheat mesa
AI in the bots???
wheat mesa
The only thing I know that’s AI/ML based for minecraft is baritone
But that’s a mod, I don’t know of anything server side that does that
lament rock
I'd probably rather just take volunteers
because Minecraft is too complex for a traditional AI model
wheat mesa
Yeah
That’s like phd level stuff, minecraft is almost similar to training AIs in real life in a way
Albeit a lot more simple than that
But still not a feasible project without a background in ML
lament rock
ML logic destroys my brain
earnest phoenix
does anyone wanna work on group developments
split the profits @wheat mesa @lament rock ?
lament rock
There is no profit, not even for Discord bots unless you're top % or insanely lucky
wheat mesa
But if you don't sell anything that people want, you will have no profit
lament rock
Finding people who share your vision is hard and would be better off contracting people off fiver
earnest phoenix
Didn't you take business Management? (dont take offense)
earnest phoenix
Finding people who share your vision is hard and would be better off contracting...
Ha, I worked on fiverr. If you don't have bots to review you, You don't get anything
wheat mesa
And not my fancy
lament rock
We are not running a business lol
wheat mesa
Yeah
earnest phoenix
I'm still in high school
Mine was required, In MIDDLE SCHOOL.
lament rock
weird school
wheat mesa
It's a volunteer job with the potential to make 22 cents at the price of hosting, hard work, and time
If it were that easy to start a business and make money, I'd be rich already
earnest phoenix
22 cents per bot or whatever price we sell it for
wheat mesa
Unfortunately it's not
Oh you're talking bot development
Then my estimate goes down to 0 cents
lament rock
he means the profit margins
earnest phoenix
It somewhat is, If you have the stuff to sell. people will buy
