an API endpoint requires me to post a file alongside the body, what would be the best way to do this? I thought converting to a base64 but js can't handle converting larger files like that (I dont think anyway)

if its not, then its probably infinity
The answer for any question is Pi

the code
im just using it like that
const ganyu = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./ganyu.json", "utf8"));
const i = ganyu["I"]
i.points++
that is the problem
numbers are considered a "primitive" value in javascript, and all primitive values are passed by "copy", which means that if ganyu["I"] is a number, then when you do const i = ganyu["I"], then i becomes a copy, not the original
can you console.log the value of ganyu["I"]?

you are trying to work in 2d with a 1d array
meager lance
ty
lyric mountain
it's not hard, you just need to know how to transform it
lyric mountain
the formula is (floored) ```
x = index % width
y = index / width
so I should have an array with 10 items and each item is an array with 10 more?
neon leaf
ignore that
grim aspen
assuming python?
lyric mountain
the formula I sent is 1d -> 2d
u just need to reverse it to get the index
index = y * width + x
alternatively simply use a 2d array
neon leaf
I think a 2d array would be the better choice here

grim aspen
what is undefined
deft wolf
Where do you need it?

this should be the correct approach for a 2d array and just finding the current state, correct? if so then I get it
const array = [
[true, true, true, true],
[true, false, false, true],
[true, false, true, true],
[true, true, true, true],
]
// y ^
// x >
const position = {
x: 3,
y: 1
}
const row = array.reverse()[position.y]
const place = position.x
console.log(row[place])
file2: const client = require("../index.js")

console.log(client)

found online:
There is nothing inherently wrong with this, assuming that index.js exports client.
However, it's important to note that console.log(client) will only work if client is defined in index.js and exported properly. If client is not defined or not exported, console.log(client) will output undefined.

boreal iron
You're trying to fetch the channel before the client is logged in
As you don't await your login process
Channels doesn't exist at this point as property of client

both what fake and i said
use await before assigning the result
to the channel i mean

Because you set the "random" value to a const
That will never change
lyric mountain
it's a function
lyric mountain
is there a more "random" way? like this doesnt seem random at all
change the array to double and assign the value to each index, just so we can see what's being returned by Math.random()
neon leaf
if you mean double as in the datatype that exists in java, not ts, sure
lyric mountain
double, float, number, whatever decimal type u have
see that math.random returns
use the same data type

@lyric mountain do you think it's worth the effort to try to parallelize my ECS
I want this to be pretty optimized but rendering still needs to maintain order which kinda sucks
lyric mountain
I want this to be pretty optimized but rendering still needs to maintain order w...
use the fire-and-forget method
wheat mesa
wdym?
lyric mountain
idk how to explain, basically u let the processing happen as much as it wants, and the renderer simply asks for the last rendered frame
wheat mesa
the issue is that I need certain things to be rendered before others so that I can maintain proper layers
lyric mountain
u can still use it
wheat mesa
how so?
wheat mesa
it looks to me like it's just one thread running the rendering
lyric mountain
yes, note how I'm passing a Consumer
wheat mesa
lyric mountain
basically the processing updates the consumer with the latest frame
as to not have two thread using the same resources at once
wheat mesa
So are all of your entities drawing themselves to that consumer?
lyric mountain
no, see Game
I'm updating the render task itself, this way it's impossible to have two things using the swing renderer at once
I could have 100 threads without a single CME
the synchronized is also important on access methods
lyric mountain
you'll get the logic once you start doing it
wheat mesa
Yeah I understand it for the most part I'm just trying to think about how to properly implement this into my engine
lyric mountain
there are other ways to achieve it, this is just one of them
wheat mesa
I think the issue would still persist
Because the order you render here still matters
If you render in the wrong order, something can still get drawn over something you don't want it to be
For example, I have layers implemented so that an entity on layer 1 would get overlapped by an entity on layer 2
lyric mountain
use a Map<Integer, BufferedImage>
wheat mesa
Since it goes in order
lyric mountain
then render according to the key
wheat mesa
I think my system is a little too complex for something like that
This is essentially the API that every system gets
The list being the layers, and the set being the actual entity IDs
And this is the render method of my canvas class, I just update each system with the created graphics
(As for whether or not this is efficient, I'm not sure)
lyric mountain
just finishing a game, will come help later
wheat mesa
hell, the majority of my CPU time for the render system isn't even spent rendering, it's spent looping over the hashset
(Granted I was looping over like 80 thousand entities, which would make some sense, but even then I don't think it would be that heavy since it's just HashSet<Integer>)
I'm not having performance issues yet (I maintain 60 fps until I hit roughly 80 thousand entities) but I'm just worrying about when I have to implement more extreme algorithms like collision
wheat mesa
maybe multithreading rendering is too much
I should multithread physics if possible though
since collision is going to be expensive
lyric mountain
K back @wheat mesa
This class was an attempt I did to have parallel threads coalescing into one result, in an ordered manner
The concept is having each thread individually complete it's own task, returning one specific result. After all threads finish executing, the "merger" function is called to compose the final value
You could use this concept to split your map into smaller pieces and having each thread process its own piece
wheat mesa
Hmmmm
I could have a thread for each layer
That would significantly speed things up
lyric mountain
Yes
wheat mesa
I think I have a significant problem though, my ECS is not built for multithreading
lyric mountain
Should not be too hard to implement it
You can also make a custom iterator
And simply extend hashmap to use your iterator
This should affect every loop (and method) seamlessly
wheat mesa
The biggest problem being that my ECS is very intertwined in its respective classes, I donāt know if it would be easy to parallelize
There isnāt a whole ton of shared state but it mainly relies on one big array of bitsets
lyric mountain
Could try synchronizing it
That way no two threads would be able to access it at once
wheat mesa
Yeah
lyric mountain
By using semaphores, I mean
wheat mesa
I might try that in a bit when I finish eating
Iām going to have to learn a lot of multithreading to do this lol
We did multithreading in my cs class but it was very basic and pretty much only went over locks and signals, which I donāt think would be optimal for this
That would be hell to program
lament rock
I am facing so many technical challenges with a minecraft server and looking at performance metrics is a lot of back and forth trying to tune config so that server tick times don't exceed 50ms

java is so hard imo
quartz kindle

grim aspen
Usually Minecraft servers (like hypixel) use their own hardware such as large server rooms. Thatās how their servers have good connections with large players
I met Hypixel and asked him directly how most servers work
lament rock
Hardware doesn't really play into things because any hardware would struggle with more than like 150 players just running a vanilla mc server.
Some projects like paper really make a huge difference, although I'm not using paper because the bukkit api is REALLY limited
I settled on fabric which allows me to use mods like C2ME for multithreading chunk loading and detaching it from the server thread
earnest phoenix
What Minecraft version are you running on your server? That plays a major role in the performance
lament rock
1.19.2
I know a lot of big servers settle on 1.12
and use mods like viaversion to allow new players
I really think I have a really optimized server rn though
even when users are elytra flying generating chunks, tick times are a stable 50ms
earnest phoenix
From what I remember giant servers like 2b2t did testing on 1.16 and 1.18 and the server ran pretty well, not sure about 1.19
lament rock
1.19 is pretty good. I'd ask people to help stress test but :^)
earnest phoenix
1.19 is pretty good. I'd ask people to help stress test but :^)
You should try 1.19.4, there seems to be bugs that are fixed and some technical changes

lyric mountain
That would be hell to program
Tbh, it'll be easier if you start over
Like, the first attemp got you far enough, but implementing multithreading midway is much harder than simply starting again
This time it'll be much easier as you already got experience from it
To practice parallelism you could make a simple test project where many threads try to process something together
wheat mesa
Yeah I donāt have the time for that right now, Iāll probably just skip over multithreading. For the thing Iām making I think it should be just fine
lyric mountain
I mean, if it handled well up to 70k entities
you hardly will ever reach that count in a normal game
btw @wheat mesa
if u dont need random access, u can use ArrayDeque
it's much more efficient for head-tail access than Set or List
wheat mesa
I started using an arraylist of sets, is the iterator on ArrayDeque even faster?
lyric mountain
yep
but it's worth doing some benchmark
deques are entirely made around being iterated
and obviously cant have random access
wheat mesa
Actually I only store like 4 sets of stuff, and I do need random access so I can delete specific objects
(In the sets)
lyric mountain
ah
you could use a map instead of a list to store the sets
tho I don't think it should make much difference for only 4 ovjects

Hello, I have a command that generates a canvas and it takes a long time to finish. Is it possible to do multithreading to make it run faster?
(instead of making one thread at 100% make two at 50% which would make execution much faster)
lyric mountain
canvas is not thread safe so no
u need to find out what's the bottleneck to begin with
lyric mountain
because it's not threadsafe
i means two threads will compete against eachother
instead of helping
hushed robin
because it's not threadsafe
why is it not threadsafe
sounds like a very big limitation š«£
wheat mesa
Because it wasnāt written with threads in mind
wheat mesa
Multithreading is very complex and can be near impossible to implement in some cases
hushed robin
bruh
wheat mesa
Also more threads does not always mean better performance in every scenario
In most scenarios itās pretty good but sometimes itās not worth the complexity in the codebase for the performance you squeeze out
hushed robin
are threads and cores the same thing
wheat mesa
No
hushed robin
whats the difference
wheat mesa
Cores are physical CPU processing units
Threads in a programming sense are used when you need to do things in parallel
More cores usually means more physical threads
hushed robin
can javascript do multithreading
wheat mesa
But most threads are āvirtualā threads in the sense that the CPU simulates execution in parallel by swapping between tasks on the cores really really fast
Javascript has worker threads but the language itself is single threaded
lyric mountain
being able to split the task
wheat mesa
^
lyric mountain
or having something running in the background without affecting the main flow
wheat mesa
Most CPUs have more than one physical thread available for processing
hushed robin
but you can't
wheat mesa
You can take advantage of that
lyric mountain
but you can't
in js
(and python, dart, etc)
but other langs can can leverage threads to a whole new level
hushed robin
java?
lyric mountain
yes, for example
hushed robin
bruh
why would the makers of those other languages limit it so much
l javascript
lyric mountain
because some langs are just not meant for it
js was made for sites, but people made node
lyric mountain
because it'd not be js anymore
wheat mesa
v8 is an absolutely MASSIVE engine
lyric mountain
node has worker threads, which is as close as js will get to actual threads
wheat mesa
Adding threading would take likely hundreds of thousands if not more than a million lines of complete reworks to the engine
lyric mountain

solemn latch
Adding threading would take likely hundreds of thousands if not more than a mill...

how would it help google anyway?

lyric mountain
for example, I have my own language for command syntaxes, it's called shirosig
wheat mesa
Javascript by itself is a specification, it is up to individual developers on how they implement that specification. If the engine doesnāt match that spec, then itās not javascript
lyric mountain
it does not need any engine, I parse it with my own interpreter

Thats how I think of it
wheat mesa
Best way to put it tbh
lyric mountain
you can make a language yourself, it doesn't need to be a programming language, you don't need any code

you just need to say "X means Y" and ur done

so... javascript is nothing without node.js
no
wheat mesa
Thereās obviously other engines besides nodejs, but if nodejs were the ONLY engine, then yes

Noā¦
lyric mountain
this doesn't make sense
let's say "abadaba" means #development

Javascript is IMPLEMENTED with code

if I say "go to abadaba" you know I mean "go to #development"
