[sudden geyser]

You could try wrapping the p and Button.Danger in a div then use your flex justification

[surreal sage]

I'll try using tar -xvzf instead

[neon leaf]

that ends up like this

this is the alert component

[sudden geyser]

then you probably want the p to take up the rest of the space in the box

[neon leaf]

if you mean add text-left w-100 then that also doesnt work

[sudden geyser]

no

that's fixed

[neon leaf]

so w-[100%]?

well both dont work

[sudden geyser]

no

you need to tell the individual flex item to take up the rest of the space

flex-grow may be something

[neon leaf]

thanks!

[sudden geyser]

you may also need to get rid of the centering you're doing in your alert since the text will be centered otherwise

[neon leaf]

items-center is vertical

[sudden geyser]

really? I didn't know that

[neon leaf]

yeah, justify-center is horizontal

[lyric mountain]

not always vertical/horizontal, but cross-direction/same-direction

Any idea to why 'user' would be null

        {
            name: 'play',
            category: "Plalist",
            description: 'Play your current select playlist OR a specified playlist title or id',
            type: 1,
            options: [
                {
                    name: 'user',
                    description: 'The user who owns the playlist you want to play',
                    type: 6, // user
                    required: true
                },
                {
                    name: 'playlist',
                    description: 'The playlist you wish to play',
                    type: 3, // string
                    required: true,
                    autocomplete: true
                }
            ]
        },

the options

    autoComplete: async(client, interaction, config, db) => {
        switch (interaction.options.getSubcommand()) {
            case "play":
                {
                    console.log(interaction.options.getUser('user')) //null
                    const focusedValue = interaction.options.getFocused();
                    let search = focusedValue.length === 0 ? client.database(`SELECT * FROM playlists WHERE owner_id = ${user.id}`, false, true)  : client.database(`SELECT * FROM playlists WHERE title LIKE "${focusedValue.toString()}%" AND owner_id = ${user.id}`, false, true)
                    let choices = await search;
                    await interaction.respond(choices.map((choice) => ({name: choice.title, value: choice.playlist_id})))
                }
            break
        }
    },

javascript making me go insane again

[viral badge]

check speed of concat method

[viscid gale]

hmmm good idea

gimme examples if I missed.. going raw is fast, even with numbers, but the difference is notable between numbers and strings in concat and it's slower overall

[lyric mountain]

not a good way to benchmark

[viscid gale]

alr, elaborate

[lyric mountain]

js does some optimization when u repeat the same task many times

[sudden geyser]

use a benchmarking library instead

or program

[lyric mountain]

meaning u wont get real performance of given task

[sudden geyser]

to get a rough idea of what the performance is like

[lyric mountain]

I mean, it'll show mostly incorrect results

[viscid gale]

:/

[sudden geyser]

you're not about to figure out what optimizations your cpu is doing

[lyric mountain]

ur repeating the same task 500m times, JIT will inline it almost always

plus, ur not restarting the runtime after each task, meaning commonly used methods will get optimized during previous execution

[viscid gale]

took away one "0" from the other tests above

I get what u saying I ain't saying "u mad"
I'm just saying that if I run the same test the same amount of times to separate functions I can compare them

[lyric mountain]

not really, but if those results satiate you...well, go on

benchmarking involves very strict environments to assert two tests are done with the exact (or as exact as possible) same starting conditions

[viscid gale]

I mean.....

[lyric mountain]

those numbers mean nothing

[viscid gale]

the point of science is for things to be reproducible, I'm not trying to measure my cpu, just seeing what function is faster

[lyric mountain]

yes, and u wont that way

because the tests aren't sterile

[viscid gale]

if the methods are ridiculously close to each other in speed

[lyric mountain]

a common optimization done during runtime is to calculate only once and return the same value for the remaining iterations

if all input values are the same

[viscid gale]

and if they're that close to each other when I do them a couple million times, well word

[lyric mountain]

the results mean nothing if the experiment is done wrong

[viscid gale]

I've tested things on functions that play with randomly generated arrays

[lyric mountain]

still

I gave only one example, it ain't the sole optimization done by jit

you'll never get correct results without correct tests

[viscid gale]

idk why you insist that running 2 functions a couple million times and seeing roughly a consistent difference means nothing

[lyric mountain]

because that's how it is

[viscid gale]

"correct" only ever meant "which one is faster" in what I'm testing for

[lyric mountain]

yes, and your tests wont tell u that

how hard is to understand that one call might influence future calls?

[viscid gale]

in application, things aren't run in sterile environments

so actually, why would u test them there.. when your intent is to have something be faster in application

[lyric mountain]

yes, that's why u test in a separate environment

[lyric mountain]

because u want to test which method is the fastest

it's like testing which car is the fastest but in a crowded road

[viscid gale]

sounds like u would see if a boat sails without ever putting it on water

[lyric mountain]

see the car example

[viscid gale]

u can say "yea it should sail" but the proof is the application

[lyric mountain]

if ur gonna test which car is the fastest, you'd do it in a straight, empty and controlled space

[sudden geyser]

you really just want a controlled experiment man

[viscid gale]

@sudden geyser that's all I'm on yk

[sudden geyser]

I think the console test is fine as is for small cases like this

by small cases I mean as a trivial test

a proper benchmarks tries from a fair state and controls certain variables

but most people aren't going to go through the effort for such a thing

so I think the console test or using a library / program is fine

[lyric mountain]

well, there's a site for that

[viscid gale]

oh, so all of this was for advertising?

🗿

[lyric mountain]

nope

[sudden geyser]

a test also tries multiple times and measures differences

which helps remove noise

usually

[viscid gale]

well it'd be rather difficult to say how much ms it takes for the function that small to execute

[lyric mountain]

that's why u force a bigger test

[viscid gale]

to see which one is faster over time

[lyric mountain]

no, to strain-test

[viscid gale]

well yea, so that what I choose has the lowest strain

u were saying this isn't a good way to measure that

the entire time

[lyric mountain]

like ```js
let a = "";
for (const i in [0..10000]) {
a += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
}

console.log(a);

[viscid gale]

why would I try to see which of these things are faster that exist all over in something bigger

[lyric mountain]

because...nevermind, do what you will, if u want to 1 + 1 = 3 so be it

[viscid gale]

that will be called on numerous times

[viscid gale]

console.log is a snail on browser

[lyric mountain]

as I said, do what you will, I can't convince u to do a proper test so there's no point in attempting to

[wheat mesa]

console.timeStart/timeEnd is half decent for measuring times quickly, but there’s a lot of complex engine things happening in the background without a proper testing environment

[spark flint]

copilot is no longer included with student pack

🫡

[lyric mountain]

Write a plugin to integrate chatgpt

[quartz kindle]

js wont ever be able to do accurate benchmarks, you will have to settle for those small console tests

[quartz kindle]

that code will not be measuring the concatenation performance, it will be measuring the Math.random() performance, since that by itself will eat 99% of the cpu time in that one line of code

in order to defeat the amazing js optimizer, you need to introduce things that are orders of magnitude slower than the things you actually want to measure

which makes measuring even more stupid, because at that point you're basically benchmarking a big ass code with a small needle somewhere inside, and trying to get the timing of that needle

[lyric mountain]

Forgot abt that

I suppose u could switch for a string literal then

[quartz kindle]

the actual reason for this is a bit deeper

in the first code, the array is actually initialized as a small number array, then the inner array is unpacked and the other numbers are added, completing the small number array

in the second code, the array is initialized as a blank array, so it has an unknown/mixed type under the hood, then when the numbers are added, the array remains a mixed type

the js engine does these weird shenanigans with arrays

js arrays have many different types under the hood

[viscid gale]

hmmmm

[quartz kindle]

of course the difference also comes from the number of items being unpacked from the inner array, less numbers to unpack will be faster

[viscid gale]

ik ik, but I also was noting that yes, adding values then a ...array was different from plain ...array

that's pretty dang cool

[quartz kindle]

still is really weird that the performance hit is so big

but yes, if you can, initializing a non-empty array will always be faster than an empty array

[viscid gale]

nah, the numbers being that wildly different mean nothing according to someone else 😔

[quartz kindle]

since it gives the engine an array type hint

[viscid gale]

k jokes aside I was shocked at it tho

a while back I remember the ... being slower than using a for loop to begin with

so I thought "ah lemme just make a full spread function that'd be faster" which led to me testing that specific case and being like "what the hell"

[quartz kindle]

hahah

actually let me test this deeper

holy wow

this code [...[1,2,3,4,5]] generates this bytecode

very simple, very straight forward

but this code [1, ...[1,2,3,4]]

generates this...

lmfao

from this point of view, the first code should be faster, but i guess the second code has so much more information provided that gives the engine a lot more things to optimize there

also the last part makes it seem like (im no expert in reading these, so correct me if im wrong voltrex), in the second case, the inner array is not actually unpacked into the outer array, but rather the outer array will hold references to the inner array instead

so both arrays remain separate in memory

[earnest phoenix]

What's happening here is that the first code ([...[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]]) is the exact same as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] because it unenrolls the spread call as it has no effect here, resulting in a minimal bytecode, however in the second one ([1, ...[1, 2, 3, 4]]), it goes a lot deeper as it looks up in the target object's descriptors (all objects and literals has their own internal slots) as to what appropriate behavior it has for a spread call, which in itself generates it's own bytecode

[quartz kindle]

however, the first code is 7x slower than the second for some reason, thats why this is all so weird (and funny)

lmao

my thinking was that maybe if the second code keeps both arrays separate in memory and just references them it can skip the concatenation in the first code, thus it becomes faster, but if the first code does not actually concatenate anything like you say, then im at loss for an explanation here

[earnest phoenix]

It's the complete opposite for me

You folks may be using a version of V8 that had a regression for this specific case

[quartz kindle]

chromium 107.0.5304.88

let me test on node too

indeed, node 19.3 gives a different result

[earnest phoenix]

Chromium 107 uses a version of V8 that has a regression

[quartz kindle]

reminder to always test weird things on more versions xD

[viscid gale]

@viscid gale

[earnest phoenix]

Yep, we merged the patched V8 release in the Node.js v18 releases

[viscid gale]

just pinging myself so I can search for this ping later

really bloody interesting things

[quartz kindle]

so basically all my previous explanations were wrong, so never mind me

haha

[viscid gale]

it happens

[quartz kindle]

i was right on one thing tho, but i got it the other way around actually

on the dev tools memory inspect, [...[1,2,3,4,5]] is the one that actually shows it being a full SMI array

whereas [1, ...[2,3,4,5]] does not, indicating its a mixed type array

[viscid gale]

ahhhhhhh

[earnest phoenix]

Yes, there are wrapped type hints for spread calls on elements with other types

We do everything we can to optimize as much as possible™️

[quartz kindle]

the first one takes 44 bytes, the second one takes 100 bytes

this is another js secret that most people do not know, identical objects in js can have very different memory usages, depending on how they were created

[viscid gale]

so far I'm only using the spread function (for loop that does [...array]) for that case only and another case where I say [1,...array] I leave it

1 is shorter than a word that makes human sense and it could be shared over a websocket an ungodly amount of times

[quartz kindle]

use compression :^)

zlib stream is great for websocket

[viscid gale]

much to think on, gn 👋

[wheat mesa]

I guess it’s time… I’ve gotta swap back to djs

[lament rock]

why

[quartz kindle]

fuc djs lol there are so many js libs now a days

raw is best

[wheat mesa]

detritus hasn’t gotten an update in 7 months

And I definitely don’t want to be writing my own raw lib

I would never get anything done

Unless someone has a better suggestion, I’m gonna have to use djs

Or I could fork detritus but that’s kind of a complex lib

[quartz kindle]

im adding something pretty cool to my raw lib, an actual disabled events option

that prevents the event from even being parsed into json

by matching the event name when still in binary data

my benchmarks showed a 10x performance boost for disabled events

[sudden geyser]

just find another library?

some person in this channel I can't remember the name of wrote a fairly interesting library

thought it was tom

yes, not tim!

[quartz kindle]

tom and jerry

[spark flint]

Tom and Jerry more like Tim and Berry

[quartz kindle]

berry the platypus?

[sudden geyser]

oh his name was actually tim

timsmart

the library is called droff

https://github.com/tim-smart/droff

[lament rock]

I've been also maintaining some low level Discord libs myself

pain in the ass

[quartz kindle]

xD

btw papi im finally adding a string/bigint etf option

because of you

[lament rock]

Good

[quartz kindle]

no more being stuck with bigint ids only

[lament rock]

shit was so confusing

[quartz kindle]

indeed

[lament rock]

what was the nail in the coffin?

[quartz kindle]

now if only i can figure out the most annoying problem of all

snake case or camel case

_<

[lament rock]

PascalCase ftw

[quartz kindle]

because discord uses snake case

[lament rock]

this shit is now C#/Java

[quartz kindle]

and i want it to be 1:1 to the discord api docs

[lament rock]

discord used to be backed by py

[quartz kindle]

but then my own extras on top, if they are pascal it gets weird

if they are snake, its also weird

i cant decide

[lament rock]

no casing

no underscores

justwordsstrungtogetherlikethis

[quartz kindle]

hahahah

[lament rock]

How about dynamic keys and the user can decide

[quartz kindle]

for example what looks/feels better```js
{
large_threshold: 500,
disabled_events: ["PRESENCE_UPDATE"]
}

or

{
large_threshold: 500,
disabledEvents: ["PRESENCE_UPDATE"]
}

[lament rock]

Thats something I have yet to see

[quartz kindle]

large_thresold is an api option so it has to remain snake

[lament rock]

Just have a set of internal keys and dynamically set the prototype of classes based on options

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[lament rock]

It could work tho

like I prefer camelCase

but jimmy bob here might want snake

Im so inconsistent with my shit tho. I use snake case in C#

its the most cursed shit

[quartz kindle]

do i just duplicate all of it on intellisense and coalesce the case in the actual code?

lmao

[lament rock]

What I'd do which might be reasonable is have different entry points for cases and dynamically assign to class prototypes based on some value you can bounce around

instead of using the syntax sugar for classes

that way you can have 1 code base with internal keys

[wheat mesa]

To be fair the only reason I’d be using djs over a different library is because I don’t want to learn another lib

[lament rock]

discord.js is a memory leak itself

[sudden geyser]

learning new things is fun though

*usually

[next storm]

Hey, I need a help. I tried to make a website and it's working good, it's made in html. I tried to use express and made a basic file in which I putted this```js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const router = express.Router();

router.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/index.html'));
});

router.get('/invite', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/invite.html'));
});

router.get('/support', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/support.html'));
});

router.get('/vote', function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/vote.html'));
});

app.use('/', router);
app.listen(433);

console.log('Running at Port 433');``` but when I'm opening the website, it's showing it without the components, it's showing just like a blank website with just normal fonts written and with no images

[lament rock]

its insane how much memory you'd be saving if you just didn't import such fucking large libraries. The module require cache is insanely stupid and comes with a lot of overhead since Discord.js likes to have a ton of files for each thing

[quartz kindle]

i mean

thats still nothing compared to the actual discord cache

[lament rock]

I know

but they'd save a lot of memory if they used something like tsup

for initial import

inline src maps are also pretty cool

[quartz kindle]

the files that the html file uses, for example images, css files, font files, etc... all of the must have express routes too

to make this easy, express has a "static" system for static files

[next storm]

it'll show all the components and images then?

[quartz kindle]

app.use(express.static('folder name'))

that will make everything inside a folder you chose marked as a static file, so express will always find them

[next storm]

I've my file structuring like this

[wheat mesa]

Should probably have an src directory

[next storm]

all the css works and all are in assets

[wheat mesa]

Not required but good practice

[quartz kindle]

then make assets your static folder

[next storm]

ok

[quartz kindle]

app.use(express.static('assets'))

[next storm]

oki

still not showing the components

[quartz kindle]

the files inside the folder are exposed to the root directory

so you have to remove any /assets/... from your html code

or do this instead

app.use('/assets', express.static('assets'))

[solemn latch]

👀

what

[next storm]

worked (:

thanks a lot

[quartz kindle]

👍

[next storm]

now I've to get it hosted

[solemn latch]

It looks like its just static files currently.

Github pages probably would work fine

[wheat mesa]

^

[next storm]

I can link my domain there ?

[solemn latch]

yep

got a pb with windows env

pGlob doesn't work

does someone know how to fix it?

[quartz kindle]

windows also supports forward slashes, you dont need to use double back slashes

[shadow frigate]

What does one call these?
justTesting vs just_testing?

Surely there's a specific name for these

Ping me when you respond please, thanks

[quartz kindle]

pascalCase and snake_case

[shadow frigate]

Nice one cheers

[quartz kindle]

there are many others as well

[shadow frigate]

pls Advise?

[quartz kindle]

like SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE that discord uses

[shadow frigate]

What do you personally prefer?

What do you think is best practice or is this just a 'case' of personal preference?

[quartz kindle]

personal preference

[shadow frigate]

fair enough

[quartz kindle]

but in js/ts most people use the same style as the image above

[shadow frigate]

lol which one

[quartz kindle]

pascal for classes, camel for functions

screaming snake for constants

[shadow frigate]

fair enough

[quartz kindle]

js people dont like snake case

[shadow frigate]

I don't utilise these like I should tbf

[quartz kindle]

python people on the other hand use snake case a lot

[shadow frigate]

My code would look cleaner

[quartz kindle]

also web apis are mostly snake case

because web data formats often do not differentiate between upper and lower case keys

other case styles xD

[shadow frigate]

lmaooo

goteem

[quartz kindle]

this one has a cool explanation

[shadow frigate]

lmao fair play, they are pretty good

What's your favourite?

[tacit sand]

Hey guys may be the wrong place for this but does anyone have any info on when/if puginator will be available again. Thx in advance

[shadow frigate]

Probably best you join their Discord server

[tacit sand]

My bad. They have this one listed on their site

[deft wolf]

We don't know

Check for yourself

[sudden geyser]

Is there a site that can check what browsers a site (or JS file) is compatible with?

Alright so I'm trying to use MongoDB for the first time.

^ This is my datasetup file.

Then I have one model for my lockdown command. Which looks something like this:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const Schema = new mongoose.Schema({
    Guild: { type: String, required: true },
    Lockdown: {
      Enabled: { type: Boolean, default: false },
        Channels: { type: Array, default: [] },
    }
})

module.exports = mongoose.model("lockdown", Schema);

For some reason, my error catch returns just "An error occured" not specifying why.

My datastore looks like this.

Is it correct?

[deft wolf]

Can you hover over const Keyv = require("keyv")?

[idle coral]

Believe it's typescript.

To do with TypeScript.

[sharp geyser]

What is the exact error?

[sharp geyser]

That is different than what you said

[deft wolf]

Are you running it on your computer or on a machine?

[idle coral]

Computer.

[sharp geyser]

Okay one thing first

Are you sure you are connected to the database?

This error usually means that it took to long to respond and find the resource

[idle coral]

Showing connections on the primary, yes.

[sharp geyser]

which usually means that its not connected

[deft wolf]

Personally, I have this error because I have terribly shitty WIFI

[sharp geyser]

Also another issue could be due to you trying to use the model before a connection is fully established

[idle coral]

How could that be prevented?

[sharp geyser]

You could use async/await on the .connect which will only continue allowing code to run after the .connect once the promise has been resolved

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65408618/mongooseerror-operation-users-findone-buffering-timed-out-after-10000ms all of which is actually mentioned here

a simple google search provided this stackoverflow page

[idle coral]

Well I took here over google.

Sorry.

You're fine

I wasn't hating

[wheat mesa]

Looks like replit to me.. which is not your computer

[stiff dust]

Hello Guys I have a problem this is my code and when I add new roles it won't update in data base any idea? 🤔

as you can see in both images from DB second role didn't add (first image is for before add second role and second image is for after adding it)

(first role is added because the code is different for adding when there isn't any role)

[quartz kindle]

if data.dj or data.dj.roles was not found, then the variable djRoles becomes an empty array []

that empty array is not connected in any way to data

so data.dj.roles will continue to be empty

[stiff dust]

see the console.log result

its not empty

[quartz kindle]

you are logging djRoles not data.dj.roles

[stiff dust]

well djRoles is what I want to save 🤔

[quartz kindle]

but you're doing data.save()

[stiff dust]

so

[quartz kindle]

so

data.save() saves the changes made to data

[stiff dust]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[quartz kindle]

and there are no changes to data

[stiff dust]

wait

there is a change

I change data.dj

it was

{
roles: ['id1'],
djOnly: false
}

and now its

{
roles: ['id1' , 'id2'],
djOnly: false
}

don't kill me Tim

[quartz kindle]

const a = data.a || [];
a.push(1);
console.log(a) // this will always work because its either data.a plus 1, or empty array plus 1
console.log(data.a) // this is different, if data.a existed before, then its data.a plus 1, but if data.a did not exist before, it will continue not existing, because the new array that is created above is separate, and not added to data automatically

[idle coral]

Well then, it is indeed Replit.

🤭

[stiff dust]

so what should I do now? 👀

[quartz kindle]

if data.dj.roles already exists, then your code should work

[stiff dust]

well thats the point!

why it don't work

[quartz kindle]

you said it did work?

[quartz kindle]

you said there was a change

[stiff dust]

there is a change but in data base nothing changed

[idle coral]

I have this, I believe.

const { mongooseConnectionString } = process.env.mongooseConnectionString
const mongoose = require("mongoose");

module.exports = async () => {
    if (!mongooseConnectionString) return;

    await mongoose.connect(mongooseConnectionString, {
        keepAlive: true,
        useNewUrlParser: true,
        useUnifiedTopology: true,
        useFindAndModify: false,
    })

    return mongoose.connection
};

This is located within ./handler/mongoose.js

In index.js, I have:

// MongoDB
const mongo = require('././handler/mongoose')
 mongo().then(connection => {
    console.log('MongoDB shard connection successful.')
})

[stiff dust]

Maybe this? @quartz kindle ?

[quartz kindle]

this is where you have to use async await

or you have to put all the code inside the .then()

[quartz kindle]

maybe, i dont use mongo

[idle coral]

Yeah. connection is declared but it seems never used.

[quartz kindle]

how else do you use it if its never used?

how were you using it?

[idle coral]

Wait just kidding-

Blind eyes.

// MongoDB
const mongo = require('././handler/mongoose')
 mongo().then(console.log('MongoDB shard connection successful.'))

Would it look like that..?

[quartz kindle]

no...

[idle coral]

brotha

[quartz kindle]

im talking about your code that uses mongo

like idk how it works, connection.query() or mongo.query or mongo.findOne() idk

[idle coral]

Schema.findOne()

I don't think it's my schema though.

[quartz kindle]

so where you use your schema

for example

[stiff dust]

yup

[quartz kindle]

const schema = new mongoose.Schema()
const model = mongoose.Model(schema)
model.find()
model.save()
``` is that how you are using it?

anyway it doesnt matter

what matters is that ALL of thay schema model stuff has to happen AFTER the mongo connect fimishes connecting

and the problem with a .then() is that it does not make your code wait for that

all your code outside of the
.then() continues running before mongo finishes connectong

[idle coral]

Yeah.

In a way though.

const model = mongoose.Model(schema)

I don't use that though..

module.exports = mongoose.model("lockdown", Schema);

[quartz kindle]

just put this ```js
const mongo = require('././handler/mongoose')
await mongo();

or in your ready event

[hidden gorge]

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentsBits } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");
const clc = require("cli-color");

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

client.once(Events.ClientReady, c => {
    console.log(clc.white(`Logged in as`), clc.red(`${c.user.tag}`));
});

client.login(token);``` Undefined Reading of  `Guilds` at ```js
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });```

oh fixed it

[graceful veldt]

why not map through all the Intents at once

[warm surge]

I know bit number

[graceful veldt]

const Discord = require("discord.js"),
client = new Discord.Client({intents: Object.keys(Discord.Intents.FLAGS).map(x => Discord.Intents.FLAGS[x])});

[graceful veldt]

oh ok lol understandable, I used to as well

[solemn latch]

👀 why?

[deft wolf]

Exactly

[warm surge]

Try const client = new Client({ intents: 131071 });

[graceful veldt]

Ik that

But this looks kool xd

[deft wolf]

Why all intents?

[solemn latch]

^

thats not a good thing

[graceful veldt]

I use all tho

💀

[quartz kindle]

ew

[warm surge]

Sometime people don’t know what they need on their bot plus most bots use all

[solemn latch]

👀 how?

[deft wolf]

But not everyone needs them

[warm surge]

I know

[solemn latch]

if you use all without knowing why you're making a mistake

[graceful veldt]

Idk much abt this but still managed to get, shrug

[warm surge]

Ikr mostly beginners doesn’t know their intents

[graceful veldt]

👋

[warm surge]

hi?

[quartz kindle]

you must have nice cpu usage

:^)

[solemn latch]

if discord gave me presence intent id still turn it off

[graceful veldt]

Tho idc abt cpu usage/ram/disk space, as I my own machine setup for this lol

good night guys

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[deft wolf]

I even turned off the message intent

[solemn latch]

another good one to turn off

[deft wolf]

Since there are slash commands, struggling to write a text command is not worth the time

At least for me

[quartz kindle]

my bot was so much easier to use with text commands xd

but then again i didnt actually finish the slash command rewrite yet

i just made a make shift solution

and its been like that for months now

[deft wolf]

I used to think text commands were better too, until I saw that you can add choices, select channel/user and autocomplete without having to go to much trouble with it

It made it a lot easier for me when it comes to writing the bot

[boreal iron]

You're not alone
The list of stuff to do no matter it's related to code or reality already fills two life cycles

Sad reality

[quartz kindle]

[wheat mesa]

Might be kind of a stupid question, but how do I resolve paths properly after my typescript has been compiled?

For example, I'm trying to load a .env file where the structure is like ```
ProjectName
| src
| .ts files
| dist
| compiled .js and .js.map files
| .env

Nevermind. Got it with process.cwd()

[hidden gorge]

Im trying to add 2 buttons but They wont show.

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require("discord.js");
const { EmbedBuilder } = require("discord.js");
const { ActionRowBuilder, ButtonBuilder, ButtonStyle } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("ping")
        .setDescription("PONG!"),
    async execute(interaction) {
        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setTitle("PONG! 🏓")
        .setDescription("Test Pong")

        const row = new ActionRowBuilder()
            .addComponents(
                new ButtonBuilder()
                    .setLabel("Support Server.")
                    .setURL("https://")
                    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Link),

             

            );

        const row2 = new ActionRowBuilder() 
            .addComponents(
                new ButtonBuilder()
                    .setCustomId("version")
                    .setLabel("Version: 0.12.3")
                    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Secondary)
                    .setDisabled(true),
            );   

        await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed], components: [row] [row2]});
    },
};

[wheat mesa]

because that is definitely not the way to use arrays

I'm surprised that even works without errors

[hidden gorge]

fixed

[wheat mesa]

So I'm trying to dynamically import compiled typescript modules, but I seem to run into this error no matter what I try: Error occurred whilst loading events: Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:' and here's the code that causes the issue: ```ts
const events = fs
.readdirSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '../events/client'), { withFileTypes: true })
.filter(file => ['js', 'ts'].some(e => file.name.endsWith(e)) && !file.name.endsWith('.d.ts'));

[quartz kindle]

show how are you importing those files

[wheat mesa]

const ret: EventImport = await import(path.resolve(__dirname, `../events/client/${file.name}`));

as for the type (doesn't really matter here) ```ts
interface EventImport {
default: { name: 'string'; execute(payload: any, client: Client): void };
}

[quartz kindle]

try this file://${path.resolve...

whats your node version btw?

[wheat mesa]

18.12.1

Now I've got this, and it doesn't load the event as far as I can tell (doesn't execute any of the code in my execute function)

[quartz kindle]

try file:///

with 3 slashes

[wheat mesa]

Oh I just realized what's wrong

It's got two default props for some reason... ```
[Module: null prototype] {
__esModule: true,
default: { default: { name: 'ready', execute: [Function: execute] } }
}

not a big deal but that's very odd

[quartz kindle]

it already has a default one by default

you added another one

[wheat mesa]

odd, seemed to work just fine in another project

Granted I was using ts-node and ran the ts directly

Just gonna keep it that way and just do ```ts
const ret: EventImport = (
await import(file:///${path.resolve(__dirname, ../events/client/${file.name})})
).default;

Otherwise ts yells at me

working perfectly now!

where is the .xyz?

[oak cliff]

Does ur bot have perms to send images/embed links?

yes

removed when i sent it

it didn’t detect permission changes

that’s why i restarted

man using djs makes me miss detritus

[earnest phoenix]

how to get topgg token

[boreal iron]

You can get the token only when having an approved bot on the topgg page

Editing it will show give you the menu you can navigate through to generate/see your token

[earnest phoenix]

bruh

[boreal iron]

[bright thorn]

allowed_mentions.users[SET_TYPE_CONVERT]: Only iterables may be used in a SetType```

What is this error

Anyone can explain

[sharp geyser]

libless is life

[sterile brook]

slash sucks at getting avatars

[sudden geyser]

wdym

[sterile brook]

literally what I said

Try to get avatar of uncached user

This user ID as example u can use:
422088370060263424

[earnest phoenix]

use api to fetch user

and get avatar hash

[sudden geyser]

you're using slash commands though

discord sends you a user/member map if you say the option is a user

[viral badge]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type

[sterile brook]

Ik buddy, I am already using it, and result remains the same

[sudden geyser]

don't see how it couldn't be simpler

[viral badge]

wdym getting avatars tho 🤔

[spark flint]

That seems like a code issue, I get user and avatar from slash command user and it works just fine

[sterile brook]

U can get the correct link to avatar, yep, but when I am trying to view it using embed, it's just empty
And no, that's not only for my bot, I also used dyno to get avatar from same user, and result is same, no picture, but the rest info is fine

[spark flint]

Weird

Channel permissions maybe?

Not too sure

[sterile brook]

Also not, cuz one person avatar displays fine, and the other one is not

In same channel

Like this

[viral badge]

user.avatarURL()?

crazy

[sterile brook]

?

[viral badge]

does the person have a custom avatar or is it the discord avatar btw?

nvm boomer issue

[sterile brook]

It's his main discord avatar

Not custom

[deft wolf]

Then it must be something related to the embed itself

Have you tried maybe changing the avatar format, its size or something?

[sterile brook]

Tried using size and not using it

Same situation

And dyno seems have same issue

Using standard .displayAvatarURL() func

[deft wolf]

Okay, have you tried using .avatarURL() instead?

[spark flint]

.displayAvatarURL() returns a discord default avatar if they do not have an avatar

[sterile brook]

avatar on screenshot, that I sent earlier appeared after some time

That kinda kekw

Changed to .avatarURL, seems working now

[deft wolf]

Images in embeds work terribly strangely

You can send 100 identical messages with the same link as an image and 99% chance there will be a message where that link will not load properly

[spark flint]

😍 we love sudden breaking API changes

[deft wolf]

For me, for example, links from imgur don't want to work very well

[sterile brook]

Tested more, no, .avatarURL gives same result

I am cursed

[spark flint]

if the URL fails, it can sometimes cache the failure

[sterile brook]

[spark flint]

I recommend putting a random query on the end

?cache=${Date.now()}

thats what I do

Prevents caching

[earnest phoenix]

not really sudden, was announced 3 weeks ago

[radiant kraken]

"Hi all! Today we are removing the Discord API, the change is rolling out as we speak."

[earnest phoenix]

i wouldn’t question it if they made bots a nitro-only feature

standard discord behaviour

[sterile brook]

If that matters, added dynamic: true and size options to displayAvatarURL () and now it works pretty fine

For earlier post

[radiant kraken]

at this point every new feature is locked behind nitro

[hidden gorge]

can slash command names have spaces?

[viral badge]

well you can always try it and see 😎

[hidden gorge]

i can’t run my code offline

[viral badge]

well i havent seen a command with spaces yet

[spark flint]

no

[viral badge]

however you can use SUB_COMMAND

[spark flint]

but you can technicalyl

yeah

with subcommand

[viral badge]

it was a pain first time but was pretty easy 🤓

[hidden gorge]

So i have my slash commands separated in folders i have my reply reading ./commands/../${file} idk if this works or not

If you did it correctly then yes

You'll find out when you turn on the bot

Make sure you’ve restarted after adding in next.config.js

It’s annoying and makes you restart

Ohh, fair enough. It works.

[feral aspen]

I'm setting up GiscusComment, which is an app in GitHub. How can I retrieve the repository ID and the category ID of a specific repository? (discussions)

[earnest phoenix]

By reading the documentation at https://giscus.app/

Actually no need to even read anything, type your repository name and it will generate everything for you..

[feral aspen]

I've actually set it up, wrong. It works, now. :)

that happens when you register both a global command and a guild command with the same name

                    .setDisabled(true),

[compact pier]

hell nah

[quartz kindle]

that method of timing will always be inaccurate

[hidden gorge]

what

i tried client.ws.ping but i learned v14 doesnt support ws

[quartz kindle]

that method of timing will always yield incorrect results because you are comparing two timestamps of two different machines

interaction.createdTimestamp is the timestamp according to the discord server

Date.now() is the timestamp according to your computer

different computers are almost always out of sync in time

you can see it yourself, sometimes the time in your pc and the time on your phone is not exactly the same

they are often several seconds off

sometimes even a minute or two

[viral badge]

i think a common method is to edit afterwards with the time it took

[maiden gazelle]

does someone know why my embed is not defined

[deft wolf]

You probably didn't import Discord

Wait

Why do you want to send it before its creation

[maiden gazelle]

huh?

wym

[deft wolf]

You send the embed one line higher than you create it

The code works top-down

[maiden gazelle]

ohhhh

then that was the problem

thank you

[hidden gorge]

const { EmbedBuilder } = require(“discord.js”);

[hidden gorge]

also move the await send below the embed

[maiden gazelle]

i just wanted to do that lmao

[deft wolf]

I totally don't understand the ping command. For me it is useless

Like the bot-info command where people post the library they use and the specs of their VPS

[sudden geyser]

flexing

with slash commands a ping command is especially useless imo

[earnest phoenix]

for curious lads

[sudden geyser]

does anyone actually care about bot specs

[deft wolf]

I don't know what's interesting about whether someone's bot has 8gb of ram or 16gb

[quartz kindle]

indeed

i did this to flex my ram usage tbh

lmao

but the statistic command is currently disabled

[hidden gorge]

Can not send an empty message...

[wheat mesa]

Keep in mind that this command is a terrible idea

[hidden gorge]

its for support server only

[wheat mesa]

If you have no way to opt out then it’s against TOS to do this iirc

[hidden gorge]

im working on the opt out

[hidden gorge]

^

[maiden gazelle]

  let link = 'https';
    
  if(!message.content.startsWith(link)) return;
    let embed = new Discord.EmbedBuilder()

    .setColor("#2E3192")

    .setDescription(`You cant advertise here.`);
    
    message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
``` can someone please tell me why my anti advertising isnt working

when i send something with https it doesnt send the embed

[wheat mesa]

because you inverted the condition

You're essentially saying if message.content does NOT start with link

oh wait

I read that wrong

hold on

[maiden gazelle]

Okay

[wheat mesa]

what's the exact message you're sending?

[maiden gazelle]

just sending a random link

like a discord inv

or youtube link

[wheat mesa]

discord invites don't always start with https

you can do stuff in discord like discord.gg/dbl

[maiden gazelle]

ik but the one i sent did

[deft wolf]

Keep in mind that this will only work if the link starts with https. Someone can put a period and spaces and it won't work anymore

I would probably use includes instead of startsWith()

[maiden gazelle]

so it is includes(https)

[deft wolf]

includes(link) in your case

[maiden gazelle]

oh yh i forgot

[deft wolf]

Then all messages containing https will be blocked

[maiden gazelle]

it still doesnt work

[wheat mesa]

Do you have code above that? You’re probably returning early somewhere

[solemn latch]

do you have the message intent? 👀

[maiden gazelle]

bot.on('messageCreate', message => {
  if(message.author.bot) return;
  let prefix = '>';
  let MessageAray = message.content.split(' ');
  let cmd = MessageAray[0].slice(prefix.length)
  if(cmd.toLowerCase() !== 'mm'){ if(!message.channel.type == Discord.ChannelType.GuildText) return; }
  let args = MessageAray.slice(1)

  if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;

  let commandfile = bot.commands.get(cmd);
  if(commandfile) {commandfile.run(bot,message,args)}
    
    
  let link = 'https';
    
  if(!message.content.includes(link)) return;
    let embed = new Discord.EmbedBuilder()
    .setAuthor({ name: `SHARK automod`, iconURL: bot.user.displayAvatarURL() })

    .setColor("#2E3192")

    .setDescription(`You cant advertise here.`);
    
    message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
})
``` this is my message.create event

[maiden gazelle]

yes ofc

[deft wolf]

Dude

You return when the message does not start with a prefix

[maiden gazelle]

no

my prefix works perfectly

[solemn latch]

exactly

[deft wolf]

Yes, but what I mean is that if the message doesn't start with a prefix the rest of the code won't work

[maiden gazelle]

oh

[deft wolf]

So your link blocking code won't work if the message doesn't start with a prefix

[maiden gazelle]

how can i fix it

[deft wolf]

It's best to create a new event dedicated to blocking links

Because the one you sent is responsible for the commands

[maiden gazelle]

ah

how do i need to call that event lmao

[solemn latch]

same as you currently do

just a second time

[maiden gazelle]

okay

oh wow it works

[deft wolf]

See how simple it is

[maiden gazelle]

yup i didnt taught abt it

but 1 more question

how can i make it that it deletes the link message that was sent

[quartz kindle]

message.delete()

[deft wolf]

You'll just have to think about it a bit more because I don't know if you really want to block all links or just links from specific domains such as Twitter/Youtube

[maiden gazelle]

all

but i can add to my let link = 'https'; just let link = 'https', 'http, 'Https', 'Http', 'discord.gg'

[deft wolf]

Then it should work as you want, but keep in mind this invitation that Waffel sent

[maiden gazelle]

yes

[deft wolf]

No no

Thats bad

[maiden gazelle]

oh

what do i need to do then

[deft wolf]

You'd have to have an array of these links, and you'd have to check if the message had one of them in it

You also don't need to pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters because you can just convert the whole message to lowercase with toLowerCase()

Then you will get rid of this Https and Http

[maiden gazelle]

oh okay

[solemn latch]

http covers https too

[deft wolf]

This is also useful in commands because you want your bot to respond to both !ping and !Ping

[solemn latch]

just a side note, if your bot is in a development server with this code it will delete messages without links in them too.

http & https is talked about pretty frequently in dev servers.

[deft wolf]

That's true too

[solemn latch]

all images will be deleted too

ie

https://i.imgur.com/2vjw5Yy.png

^ this would be deleted, since its just a link to an image

[maiden gazelle]

didnt understand that i just used the || lol

[deft wolf]

You can also do it this way, but learning how to use arrays is useful

A lot of things in discord.js rely on collections and arrays

[maiden gazelle]

i try to make when someone says hey or hi or something like that the bot will say hi back or something but then with random things

[deft wolf]

And that's what arrays are for

You can put e.g. 10 different answers in them and then by simple drawing a number from 0 to 9 you can choose the answer

[maiden gazelle]

ummmm

when i type https rn or something like that it keeps spamming cant advertise here

[solemn latch]

any chance the bot is activating its own message?

[maiden gazelle]

this is what i have

[deft wolf]

Okay

First of all, this let link is bad

It will always return the first thing

Second, you don't ignore messages from bots

[maiden gazelle]

should i do this then

[maiden gazelle]

how can i do that

[solemn latch]

that also doesnt work

👀

[maiden gazelle]

oh

[deft wolf]

You have it in the previous code you sent, which is if(message.author.bot) return

Then the bot will not respond to messages from other bots

[maiden gazelle]

okay

oh its fully working atm

https

http works

discord.gg works

oh nvm

[hidden gorge]

do i add my collector for my buttons in the same file?

[deft wolf]

By works you mean it blocks the link?

[maiden gazelle]

nope it blocks everything

even if i say hi

[wheat mesa]

are you using the message.content.includes("something" || "something else")

because if you are that's why it's not working

[maiden gazelle]

i do

[wheat mesa]

that's wrong

[maiden gazelle]

what do i need instead

[wheat mesa]

let arrayOfBlocked = ["words", "you want to", "block"];
if(arrayOfBlocked.some(s => message.content.includes(s)) {
  // do stuff
}
``` for example, I don't mean this to be a spoonfeed but this is the way I'd approach it

[hidden gorge]

how do i make it delete a message in dms when i press a button

[wheat mesa]

Of course this is not a hugely desirable as it will block any message that even so much as has this word in a subset of a full word

But it seems like what you're looking for

[maiden gazelle]

ig that is what im looking for yes

[deft wolf]

<button>.message.delete() most probably

[hidden gorge]

…

[deft wolf]

???

[fluid quest]

How to add the same data(db) in anthor code?
like /setchannel /// set channel for alarm db.set
-- /deletechannel /// delete the channel from db db.delete

[solemn latch]

If your database supports multiple connections you can connect the same way twice.

[deft wolf]

I have a database assigned to my client, so I have access to it wherever I need it

[solemn latch]

I assume by another code they mean another program

[deft wolf]

I thought he meant bot commands and separate files

[fluid quest]

i mean this
send message or set channel discord js
What data I need

[solemn latch]

the channel id is all the data you really need.

[eternal osprey]

does anyone know why i can still vote while not being user1?

const filter1 = i =>  i.member.id === gamedatabase[key].user1
          const collector = r.createMessageComponentCollector( {filter1,
            componentType: "BUTTON",
            time: 10000,
            max: 1,
          });```

[quartz kindle]

because filter1 is not a valid collector option

[boreal iron]

Also the component type... a string might not be parsed to the integer anymore by djs

Use the expect api value 2 or djs constants

[velvet stream]

Hello guys, how you doin?

[sterile brook]

How i can get this?

let replyObj = await interaction.reply({embeds: [embed], files: [new AttachmentBuilder( pngBuffer, {name: "card.webp"} )], components: [actions], ephemeral: true, fetchReply: true})

Always gives me error: unknown interaction

[boreal iron]

If you can not ensure to respond to the interaction within the 3s limit, than defer the interaction, execute your code (whatever it is since you didn't provide it) then respond by editing the reply (which was the initial deferring)

[sterile brook]

ty

[boreal iron]

More simply, before creating your image or fetching it from an api or whatever you're doing, defer the interaction

Then edit the reply once you're ready

[sterile brook]

i asked cuz i used deferUpdate() instead of deferReply()

[boreal iron]

Ah yeah that's only available for buttons the reset the initial loading state

[sharp geyser]

So I am thinking of possible problems with my original thoughts on a messaging system. What should I do to prevent people from spam sending messages in a chat? Should I implement a queue system that will only send the rest of the messages if they aren't rate limited?

[earnest phoenix]

That can work but that's a bad idea, sending the messages after the rate-limit ends can send the message in a completely bad time and would most likely be out of context

Just block the message from going through with a short-lived pop-up that says the user is rate-limited

[sharp geyser]

I see

That makes more sense

Also, what is RabbitMQ? I know its a messaging service type thing but I don't understand what practical use it can be used for

I've seen a lot of people use it in their messaging apps

[lament rock]

it can be used for load distribution

and also cluster bi directional communication

[sharp geyser]

Mmm

I dont quite understand what that means and its practicalities

[lament rock]

I'll give Discord interactions as an example. Your master server receiving HTTP messages can send that message off to RabbitMQ to a specific channel and slaves that listen to that channel can decide who takes care of it probably through identifiers or first come first serve. This way, new slaves can be added to a super cluster without needing to add logic or configuration about new slaves

The master can be totally stateless

[sharp geyser]

Okay but why would RabbitMQ be needed for something like that? Couldn't you do the exact same thing without it

[lament rock]

You could if you so desired, but you might need some other intermediary system for relays which is what RabbitMQ is or do peer to peer through configuration which might facilitate a restart among nodes to know who to communicate with

[sharp geyser]

So RabbitMQ is simply a means to broadcast real time data to multiple endpoints?

[lament rock]

Basically. And there are multiple channels which can have their own message queue so slaves can listen to specific ones and be specialized, but all of the messaging being centralized

[sharp geyser]

Mmm so an example would be a channel for specifically handling Discord Interactions

[lament rock]

And another for whatever like communications or receiving gateway events

[sharp geyser]

and those slaves attached to the channel would only process any message sent on that channel ignoring others

[lament rock]

yup

there's also acknowledge systems so if a message isn't acknowledged, it's resent

[sharp geyser]

So the master is what a user would request to e.g me sending a message and then it gets sent to the slaves for them to process

[lament rock]

Yup

[sharp geyser]

This makes more sense

[lament rock]

its really scalable

[sharp geyser]

I thought RabbitMQ was just another websocket implementation

like the ws lib

[lament rock]

No. WS operates over http which isn't the case with RabbitMQ

http has its own overhead

[sharp geyser]

How does RabbitMQ operate?

[lament rock]

Idk what protocol it uses. It might be some UDP backed system

verses HTTP being TCP

[sharp geyser]

I need to learn networking ong

Seems like a valuable skill

I have no idea what TCP and UDP actually are

[lament rock]

most realtime games use UDP because of throughput and having packets being guaranteed to be received isn't totally necessary as rubber banding happens

TCP has systems in place to ensure packets are received

through acknowledgements

[hidden gorge]

windows firewall

[lament rock]

You have no idea what you're talking about

[sharp geyser]

even I can tell that is invalid

[hidden gorge]

actually i do i use TCP and UDP for my GTA 5 servers

[sharp geyser]

I know I do have to open some ports on my linux machine specifying the protocol for my rust server

[lament rock]

totally unrelated to what we're talking about

[sharp geyser]

It uses TCP and UDP, UDP for the game port and TCP for the rcon stuff

thats as far as I know what TCP and UDP are tho

[hidden gorge]

just saying UDP and TCP are on both Inbound and Outbound rules of the windows firewall

[lament rock]

stuff like movement and such can be shoved on UDP since it needs to have less overhead

that contributes nothing to the conversation.

[blissful coral]

Anybody know anything about InfluxDB on linux systems?

[sharp geyser]

What do you recommend me researching btw?

I wanna learn more about networking

Especially since I plan on doing multiplayer games in the near future

[lament rock]

What aspect tho

oh games

[sharp geyser]

Games and just networking in general, especially those on linux systems

[lament rock]

Well. Looking up how to setup UDP connections is handy to know and how you can build on top of it and make use of its throughput should the packets arriving to clients not be critical

[lyric mountain]

TCP: here, please take care of this package, understood?
UDP: here takes this and fuck off

[lament rock]

TCP is still really good though and is more than just message acknowledgements

[sharp geyser]

this made me cackle

[lament rock]

Do not try to understand HTTP's systems tho. I made the mistake of trying to write my own client based off raw tcp sockets and I wanted to off myself

[boreal iron]

Start with learning about what network layers are, which ones exist, about how tcp ip works, other protocols etc.

In a few years you should be good to go

[lament rock]

while you're at it, researching micro services is really good instead of going with standard monolithic designs

[sharp geyser]

monolithic meaning? (I know I could google but youre here /s)

[lament rock]

vertically integrated

all in the same process

[sharp geyser]

now to google what vertically means in this context

[lament rock]

Spreading the load across multiple machines is horizontal scaling

[sharp geyser]

Oh right

[lament rock]

having everything on the same machine is vertical scaling

[sharp geyser]

Vertical is when you try and beef up the current machine to handle it all right?

[lament rock]

yeah

rip in piss wallet

[sharp geyser]

I remember someone mentioning that now

they said postgres was horrible at vertical scaling or smth

[lament rock]

a monolith is a single large block of stone. Monolithic isn't exactly the best word to use for vertical, but it's what popped in my mind first

[sharp geyser]

Nah I understand now

I should of guessed what i t means since mono means one

[lament rock]

latin go brr

[sharp geyser]

I know hardly any latin

[lament rock]

English is derived from latin

[sharp geyser]

Yes but actual latin is much better

I wanna learn old latin

[hidden gorge]

science periodic table lol

is what i thought of latin for some reason

[sharp geyser]

Periodic table is actually from greece isn't it?

[lament rock]

[hidden gorge]

no latin

[sharp geyser]

or at least a lot of the scientific naming are from what I recall

[hidden gorge]

i think

[lament rock]

This is getting de-railed

[hidden gorge]

no i think there was a russian scientist

[sharp geyser]

Indeed

[sharp geyser]

german*

[hidden gorge]

yep

[hidden gorge]

ooh

oops

thanks

[sharp geyser]

Anyways back to the topic at hand

[lament rock]

I need to go back to using RabbitMQ actually

[sharp geyser]

Is RabbitMQ what discord uses or do they use something else?

[lament rock]

and move away from gateway based interactions

idk what they use tbh

[sharp geyser]

I know they use a mix of different tech

[lament rock]

All I know is it's an insanely good messaging broker

[sharp geyser]

Ima try it out for my chatting app

Oh god docker

How the hell does docker work

another thing I dont really understand

[lament rock]

I haven't used docker so idk

The basic idea is automating app setup and containing it in it's own space in disk/memory/cpu

[sharp geyser]

@lament rock Installing rabbitmq seems tedious

[lament rock]

It was a pain in the ass, but once it's setup, it's good

[sharp geyser]

https://rabbitmq.com/install-debian.html#apt-quick-start-packagecloud should I just follow from here on or?

So wait rabbitmq is not a replacement for a websocket implementation right?

It just works hand in hand correct?

[lament rock]

its not a replacement and it doesnt work hand in hand

Well I mean it kinda could be

[sharp geyser]

So how would it work exactly?

[lament rock]

Kinda hard to describe other than what I told you

Just a socket of sorts

but websockets are http

[sharp geyser]

Mmmm

So how would i implement rabbitmq in a chatting app efficiently

That is my only question now

[lament rock]

Something that involves broadcasting messages to multiple workers

[sharp geyser]

😔

This isn't helping me wrap my head around how it works

Alright so let me put it this way

I would be using a websocket implementation with a rabbitmq implementation as well right?

User Sends Message -> Websocket Transports Message to RabbitMQ -> RabbitMQ process the message -> RabbitMQ sends the message to all clients via the Websocket

This is my understanding of how it works

[lament rock]

no websocket

websocket is http

rabbit mq is not http

You are using a UDP socket most likely

There are sockets other than websockets

just call it some network interface

[sharp geyser]

ok then I have a lot to learn here before diving in if I wanna use rabbitmq

[south kiln]

const query = require('samp-query');
const AsciiTable = require('ascii-table');

module.exports = {
    name: 'serverstat',
    aliases: ['player'],

        const server = new query('217.106.106.86', 7002);
        const getPlayerList = async(message)=> {
            try {
                await server.open();

                const table = new AsciiTable();
                table.addRow('Player ID', 'Name');
                playerList.forEach(player => {
                    table.addRow(player.id, player.name);
                });
                const embed = new MessageEmbed()
                .setTitle('Server Players')
                .setColor(0xff0000)
                .setDescription(table.toString());
                message.channel.send({embeds:[embed]});
                server.close()
            } catch (err) {
                console.error(err);
            }
        }
       setInterval(getPlayerList.bind(this), 5000);
    }
}```

in this code when is use callback.apply is not a function error

any one please help

please ping me

[earnest phoenix]

Show us the full error

[south kiln]

wait

[earnest phoenix]

The second parameter of samp-query module's default function (you declared it as query) expects a function

Read:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/samp-query

[south kiln]

bro can you come my dm please

[earnest phoenix]

Sure but why?

[south kiln]

i have one doubt please come

[earnest phoenix]

Alright

[viral badge]

samp-query?

[solemn latch]

do you have a page with /login as the path?

[earnest phoenix]

for the love of god learn to screenshot

[hidden gorge]

yes

[hidden gorge]

my computer is offline

[solemn latch]

so, if you go to localhost:port/login
it loads a page?

[hidden gorge]

no

[solemn latch]

then the issue isnt this part of your code.

[hidden gorge]

idk what’s causing it

[hidden gorge]

how do i make a string option on slash command required?

bc i tried .setRequired(true)) but it says invaild

[lyric mountain]

It's not set as a GET endpoint

[neon leaf]

did anyone ever work with chakra ui + nextjs before? Im trying to make color switching look smooth but transition-all doesnt seem to work, is there any other way?

[deft wolf]

This may have happened because you gave the required option, for example, at the very end. Required options must always come before optional ones

You'd need to send the error code and your command code so we can find out more about why it's not working for you

[surreal sage]

HTML page likes to scroll to 0, 0 after an element was added
How do I make it not scroll to 0, 0
scrollY and scrollX are both 0
No height: 100% css rules

I've got height: 100vh;

[lyric mountain]

100vh height will make it impossible to ever scroll the page

[compact pier]

How many interaction types are there?

[neon leaf]

does anyone know why this happens in nextjs? it seems like tailwind styles are lagging behind

[deft wolf]

Slash commands, buttons, context menus and select menus

Thats all i guess

[compact pier]

okok, thank you

[earnest phoenix]

modals too

[compact pier]

I hope, they will add new types to discord

like pop ups, looks like modals but don't have inputs

[earnest phoenix]

what would be the point of that, just send an ephemeral message

[solemn latch]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-object-interaction-type

[compact pier]

Popout thingy looks better :D

[solemn latch]

More annoying though

Pop-ups are the most common reason I close out websites early

[compact pier]

yeah kinda, only if people abuse it (they will)

[earnest phoenix]

couldn't really be abused

[compact pier]

they could have ratelimits

[earnest phoenix]

how would someone abuse them?
