[quartz kindle]

im figuring out how to compile tzdata myself

because most existing builds have major flaws for the api, they ignore/merge historical data from before 1970 timezones

which i need in the api

[sharp geyser]

I see

[quartz kindle]

the idiot lead maintainer thought that was a good idea

if you search for a date for example, in 1948 in stockholm, sweden

you get the timezone for berlin

which is stupid (and wrong)

[real rose]

highhighhighhighhigh

[quartz kindle]

but he says "we onlyguarantee accuracy starting from 1970, evertything before that is out of scope for this project"

dumbass

im sick of you already

[quartz kindle]

lel

[surreal sage]

is this sleepy nodejs or is this fucked up

ok so like

i think it just sets globals or something

dam

[acoustic bough]

you have to add user to the type of Request

interface CustomRequest extends Request {
    user: SomeType
}```

you can’t just assign a variable to an object which isn’t typed to hold that key

[surreal sage]

declare module 'express-serve-static-core' {
  interface Request extends AuthProps {} // Auth props is a type
}```

[sharp geyser]

Okay well uhm

I wouldn't do it that way tbh

[sharp geyser]

declare module 'express-whatever' {
  export interface Request {
    customProp: Type
  }
}

Its better to do it that way as you know for sure that it will show up on intellisense

Thats the way I always do it anyways

[surreal sage]

it works

so

[sharp geyser]

Okay then what was the issue

You made it seem like it wasn't working

[surreal sage]

hadn't figured this out

[sharp geyser]

Also just hope you know that it only adds intellisense auto fill

Some people think differently

[surreal sage]

yea

[radiant kraken]

speaking of TypeScript typings, is this the correct way to write typings for a library? https://github.com/null8626/tio.js/blob/master/typings.d.ts

this one lacks the declare module thing, i'm not sure if that's required or not for Intellisense

cc @sharp geyser

[sharp geyser]

jesus fucking christ

[little plover]

weird question should some one mind helping me with somthing

[sharp geyser]

Why would you need the usage of declare module? You aren't overwriting any library types

[radiant kraken]

[little plover]

not sure if its bc it seems top.gg is down bit i keep getting a error code 500 the site will load but if i look up anything like a bot i need it just give me a 500code error

[rocky barn]

me too

[acoustic bough]

500 is internal server error so yes

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[acoustic bough]

site is down

[little plover]

oh ok

[radiant kraken]

i'm quite noob when it comes to typescript typings sorry

[rocky barn]

is that why some bots are down too?

[little plover]

im gussing so

[acoustic bough]

if the bots are coded bad, yes

[little plover]

half of my bots all the sudden stoped worked once the site went down then

[radiant kraken]

wdym? what's the purpose of it

[acoustic bough]

no error handling lols

[sharp geyser]

Yea nah, declare module is only useful when outlining what a module should look like without implementing said module, or in most popular use cases overriding interface/classes of other modules

[little plover]

im using dino apply giveaway and a couple others

[radiant kraken]

oh alright

[sharp geyser]

for example when discord.js devs want to add their own things to the client and have auto correct for it they would

declare module 'discord.js' {
  export interface Client {
    someDevShit: Type
  }
}

[radiant kraken]

ooo icic thanks ts god

[sharp geyser]

you can even expand the library functionality iirc with declare module though I don't remember

I havent used ts in ages

[radiant kraken]

i'm not sure if that huge type alias is necessary or not but i hope it help devs so that they get the right keys

[sharp geyser]

760+ just from one type is crazy

Thank god you have that in a typings file and not in code

right?

[radiant kraken]

it used to be in code

[sharp geyser]

[radiant kraken]

[sharp geyser]

code go brrr

[radiant kraken]

honestly prettiering that file took ages

[sharp geyser]

tbf I don't know everything about how declare module works either I just know its intended usage

It seems like declare module is really meant to be used in .d.ts files but I break that rule all the time

[surreal sage]

typescript

i built my project

it's in dist

with .js extensions

[sharp geyser]

yea?

[surreal sage]

the main script

imports /middleware/auth

note: no file extension

i run the main script

it errors, because it cant find /middleware/auth

[sharp geyser]

Can you not make multiple small messages and put more than 4 words into a sentence

[surreal sage]

nah 🙂

[sharp geyser]

then have fun getting help, its annoying when you spam chat with your problem

😄

[surreal sage]

ok lemme make one message for ya

"import no workie :("

hollon

[sharp geyser]

"then fix the no workie" is my response

[surreal sage]

[sharp geyser]

@radiant kraken

The declare module syntax in TypeScript is used to declare the shape or structure of an external module or library for which there are no TypeScript type definitions. It allows you to tell the TypeScript compiler about the existence of a module and provide type information for its components.
According to chat gpt

[radiant kraken]

i dont trust chatgpt

[sharp geyser]

its correct though

thats generally what declare module is used for

you can do it with your own modules though as well

every ts file that exports something is considered a module iirc

so you can use declare module on your own files and just modify it in a d.ts file if need be or for some other reason idk

[surreal sage]

scrollin through node docs and found this

async function * generate() {
  yield 'a';
  await someLongRunningFn({ signal });
  yield 'b';
  yield 'c';
}

What's the * before generate()?
And to confirm, yield in promises basically trigger .then everytime? (What about await generate()?)
first .then is 'a'
second 'b'...

[wheat mesa]

it's to signify that the function is a generator function

that's the *

Similar to returning IEnumerable<T> in C#

[surreal sage]

interesting

[quartz kindle]

and guess what

generator functions are about 30% slower than making your own iterator pattern

lmao

well its been a few years since i tested them tbh

but js has a looong history of adding new/better ways of doing things that are slower than the old way of doing things

[wheat mesa]

I never understood why people complicated iterators so much

This is another one of those things that rust does very well

Ranges and iterators

[surreal sage]

i recently saw this shitcode

const obj = {}
const keys = Object.keys(obj)

for (let i in keys) {
  const value = obj[keys[i]]
}```

ok anyways i've got a little problem

i'm doing mongoose model work and I have a static function

(this is typescript btw)

and I want to return the model as document, I just don't know what to set the types to

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[surreal sage]

export interface User {}

interface IUser extends User, Document {}

function stuff(): Promise<IUser>

but there's this entire shitheap of an error

Type 'Document<unknown, {}, FlatRecord<{}>' is not assignable to type 'IUser | null'.

then another alike

[surreal sage]

got it

[sharp geyser]

you could make a union type no?

type IUser = User & Document

or smth like that

unless you are going to be adding stuff to the IUser interface

also can't remember if its & or |

[radiant kraken]

help i'm addicted to rust macros https://github.com/top-gg/rust-sdk/blob/4fa4b1dd8b308234194b22eb980cc6bbc7568af6/src/util.rs#L8

i feel like i'm writing php at this point

[lament rock]

& joins 2 types together. | is or

& is weird

ts is weird

but very cool

Also, if you use the keyword type, the properties are shown in intellisense and depending on the Record's property count, it could be insane and with the keyword interface, it will just show the name of the interface

[crystal wigeon]

has anyone used aws sso?

i want to link an aws account from my web app

i checked sso but it looks too complicated

for no reason at all

[sharp geyser]

Welcome to AWS where everything takes a rocket engineer to use

[eternal osprey]

hey does anyone know how to fix this problem? I already enabled cors on my api but for some reason my site doesn't allow http requests back:

[blocked] The page at https://.. was not allowed to display insecure content from http://...

like do i need to go to my domain hoster and enable http requests as well or..?

the api itself (the http) is just locally hosted from my vps, so i am unsure if i can even add a https to it.

[frail smelt]

how to add images to the bot page on top.gg

[vivid fulcrum]

from where are you accessing your api

https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-mixed-content/

The fix for mixed content is quite simple: Web developers need to ensure that every resource on their page is loaded over HTTPS. In practice, this can prove tricky, as modern websites often load several different resources from various places.

[eternal osprey]

fuckk

i am accessing my api from a secured environment

while m api isn't

[vivid fulcrum]

you can containerize your api so it only exposes itself onto localhost

use nginx with certbot and tunnel it to your api that's running on localhost

it's a tedious process but it works

[eternal osprey]

i mean i have a domain name

but i have no clue how to change my api that's currently runnng on my vps using express to my domain name

like tsfeerhuysch.nl/api...

can i maybe change my dns to my vps ip? (my api is currently running using express)

[vivid fulcrum]

no

you need to configure nameservers on your vps, which provider are you using?

also if your domain name is already in use, you cannot use tsfeerhuysch.nl/api, but rather api.tsfeerhuysch.nl

for the subdomain, just add a new A record on your domain management dashboard

you would set NAME to api and point the ip address to your vps

you might still have to configure nameservers on your vps though

generally you should wait a few hours to see if the changes applied, DNS caching is a pain

there's also another approach with which you can technically achieve your api pointing to tsfeerhuysch.nl/api

with nginx

[eternal osprey]

hostnet

[eternal osprey]

hmm i see

i will try to use api.tsfeerhuysch.nl

it's my first time doing all this

my api still just runs locally on it's api. Idk what i am doing wrong

[eternal osprey]

i already did, but somehow doesn't work

i am sorry, it's an A record

i will just wait it out in the hope that the dns works

[vivid fulcrum]

you're probably going to benefit from reading https://webhostinggeeks.com/guides/domains/

it should clear up some confusion, the guide is thorough

[proven lantern]

can a bot input a command to another bot through discord?

[deft wolf]

Nope

It's not possible

[proven lantern]

mmkay so i'd need to make an API for the other bot if i want them to communicate

thanks

[surreal sage]

Is there a way to 'synchronize' my mongoose in runtime

I want to make a change to a document
The document is elsewhere in a socket (as socket.user), I want the change I just made here too

[surreal sage]

switch (condition) {
  case value:
    {
      // my mind goes from, na na na na
    }

[surreal sage]

nothin

[warm surge]

I just love it says my mind goes from, na na na na

[shut zenith]

How much time i need to wait to the page of my bot get refreshed?

I changed the name of my bot and his photo

[solemn latch]

-refreshdata

[gilded plank]

Fetching Your New Bot Data

To fetch your bot's new name or avatar, please follow these steps:
Click the Refresh Data button in the sidebar on the right.
Click Edit on your bot page and then Save.

💡 Please note: If it still doesn't seem to change, make sure you actually changed the bot's avatar / name on your Discord Developer Portal and not the application's icon / name.

[shut zenith]

But it does not work

[solemn latch]

Did you do both steps?

[shut zenith]

Sorry, it has already been updated, although I did the 2 steps I did not realize that it could take 5-10 minutes to update, sorry for the inconvenience.

[sharp geyser]

@radiant kraken So before hand I was using once_lazy or whatever to make globals but idk if thats the proper method.

I want to have a global db connection variable that can be used anywhere in the application

[radiant kraken]

do you really have to use a global variable

[sharp geyser]

How else would I share connection?

[radiant kraken]

can't you just store it in a struct

and use that struct everywhere

[sharp geyser]

wym?

Structs are a one off thing no?

[radiant kraken]

what is your app like

does it make use of async

[sharp geyser]

They get created then destroyed right after you are done using it

it is asynchrnous yea

its a actix-web app

oh wait

actix web allows you to share data across the app anyway iirc

😭

[radiant kraken]

yup

[sharp geyser]

I dont remember how to do it tho

gotta scrounge the docs

[radiant kraken]

maybe this https://docs.rs/actix-web/latest/actix_web/struct.App.html#method.app_data

[sharp geyser]

Oh yep

thats exactly it

I wonder

Can I just pass in my connection function but give the Data a type of PgConnection

[radiant kraken]

wdym

[sharp geyser]

like this:

    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new()
            .service(index)
            .app_data(actix_web::web::Data::<PgConnection>::(init_connection))
    })
        .bind("localhost:2053")?
        .run()
        .await

or is it Data::<TYPE>()

[radiant kraken]

https://docs.rs/actix-web/latest/actix_web/web/struct.Data.html#method.new

[sharp geyser]

so it can take a type

nice

    HttpServer::new(|| {
        App::new()
            .service(index)
            .app_data(actix_web::web::Data::<PgConnection>::new(init_connection()))
    })
        .bind("localhost:2053")?
        .run()
        .await

so something like this then should work right?

[radiant kraken]

yup

https://tryitands.ee

[sharp geyser]

that try it and see method doesn't work rn

Haven't actually implemented anything

[radiant kraken]

implement something then

[sharp geyser]

Actually before that

How the hell am I going to create a postgres user from this rust app

Cause I am creating a user when they sign up

[radiant kraken]

i've never used postgres before

[sharp geyser]

Oh god @radiant kraken

I just realized

[radiant kraken]

what

[sharp geyser]

I have to do frontend for this project

[radiant kraken]

frontend aint that hard bud

[sharp geyser]

It will look ass!

[radiant kraken]

it wont

[sharp geyser]

trust me it will

@dense flame I will hire you to do my frontend for me 200$ a week

[radiant kraken]

or sayuri

[sharp geyser]

sayuri too expensive

[radiant kraken]

@civic scroll you free?

[sharp geyser]

on a budget here

[radiant kraken]

cosmic's nothing compared to sayuri

[sharp geyser]

not nice!

cosmic is amazing

[radiant kraken]

yeah true

[sharp geyser]

sayuri would add animations to literally everything

rip the roblox devs on their 200$ laptop

😭

[radiant kraken]

i use a $300 laptop and sayuri's websites run perfectly fine with barely any lag

i'm sure it's pretty well optimized

[sharp geyser]

doing backend in rust is both annoying and fun

[radiant kraken]

i can help you out of the annoying parts

[sharp geyser]

I have to be careful with rust cause the ownership and borrower is quirky

Right now just trying to figure out the best way to make a user

time to bust out postman

somethin I haven't used in ages

[radiant kraken]

the compiler's error messages are like the most readable thing ever

compared to things like C++

[sharp geyser]

very true

which is why I love C++ but hate its error messages

I've honestly been using rust more than c++ as of late tho

[radiant kraken]

very good

[sharp geyser]

I am just wondering if I should bother making my own mini orm built on sqlx

cause using just sqlx queries all the time without any structure is going to be aids

I think I can use serde with sqlx and parse the select data into readable/accessible data

I will worry bout that later tho

[radiant kraken]

maybe

anyway you should try frontend again with your project

[sharp geyser]

I will

I am just not sure what to use

[radiant kraken]

you can always ask for feedback

[sharp geyser]

might go with react tho

it will be most familiar

[radiant kraken]

react is good

[sharp geyser]

or Angular

[radiant kraken]

[pale vessel]

use yew as a practice

[sharp geyser]

the newest version of Angular was looking fucking sexy

what is yew

[pale vessel]

it's like rust react

https://yew.rs/

[radiant kraken]

rust react

[sharp geyser]

EH?

[radiant kraken]

i've heard mixed opinions about it tho

[sharp geyser]

it uses wasm I assume then?

[radiant kraken]

yup

[sharp geyser]

yea idk how I feel about using yew

if ima be doing front end rather stick with what I know more of

[radiant kraken]

yup

[sharp geyser]

if I try and do smth new ima just stop the project and quite frankly I think mine is a rather smart idea

Make money off those roblox devs

[radiant kraken]

so what is your project about again

[sharp geyser]

Making an external database tool for roblox game devs

DataStores suck as proven by people expanding on datastores themselves

[radiant kraken]

roblox? .-.

[sharp geyser]

Yes

Roblox games have seen a skyrocket in the industry and are becomming very successful

and where there is success there is money

Why not skimp a few bucks off the top myself?

[radiant kraken]

kekw nice

so you're planning to make it paid

[sharp geyser]

Free for small games

Paid for anyone who needs more resources

This tool will be purely rest api as you can't do anything else really cause roblox only allows Http calls of Post and Get

I think they might allow you to do some custom ones

but I can't remember

[radiant kraken]

poggers

[sharp geyser]

Only thing I am worried about down the road is performance

but thats a problem for the future me :)

[radiant kraken]

since it's just a database i don't think it does really need that much frontend

[sharp geyser]

Its a roblox db service

it will be primarily frontend

[radiant kraken]

bruh

[sharp geyser]

I will have to end up making a database viewer

not everyone will know how to use tools like dbeaver to view their databases

ofc those who do can still choose to do so

they have a connection string, they just need their user + pass and the db name they want to connect to

or I can make a fool proof tutorial on how to use dbeaver

[radiant kraken]

still doesnt sound that bad

good luck on it

[sharp geyser]

Thanks

I will be crying in sorrow while using rust to do this

[radiant kraken]

you wont be crying with my help though (hopefully)

[civic scroll]

hello

[radiant kraken]

can you help misty when it comes to frontend

[civic scroll]

sure

i will tell you what i know

[civic scroll]

static geometry is boring geometry

[radiant kraken]

based

[sharp geyser]

😭

but roblox devs have potatoe pcs

[radiant kraken]

i have a potato pc and sayuri's websites run fine

[civic scroll]

not if i abuse css

and canvas

canvas can get quite performant with heavy animations

[sharp geyser]

i see

[radiant kraken]

and svgs :^)

[civic scroll]

real

[sharp geyser]

Well before I even add a frontend ima at least get sign up and login working

What should I use for auth tokens? I was planning on using UUID but idk if thats unique enough

[radiant kraken]

i haven't seen you play with canvas before tho

[civic scroll]

yeah

i'm not used to... render engines

what should i say...

ah

i'm used to declarative (state) animation rather than imperative animation

like i declare what state to transition to

for raw geometry manipulation, i will have to specify what to render every frame

[sharp geyser]

Wait

[civic scroll]

aka. doing the interpolation myself, which is pain

[sharp geyser]

Why am I bother signing up with user/pass

I will just use roblox oauth

I think that exists

[radiant kraken]

but you are literally a render engine

you render svgs

animated svgs

[sharp geyser]

@radiant kraken This is a thing?

I was playing around

and this seems valid

Its just dereferencing a reference and then making it a reference again no?

Nvm roblox oauth is useless

access token is only valid for 15m unless I immediately cache the information as soon as they login I can't fetch anything new (which I will likely need to do if I went this route)

actually nvm wont ever need new info as I can only really access the profile or so to say the profile is the only useful data roblox supplies

[radiant kraken]

yup

what were you planning to do

it's usually used for conversion between rust references and raw pointers

[sharp geyser]

Oh nothing

I was just messing around

lol

[radiant kraken]

[civic scroll]

my engine is declarative 😔

[radiant kraken]

declarative and imperative are barely any different

plus you said that canvas is very performant so

[civic scroll]

it does

i think more about what i want, rather than how to do to reach what i want

[sharp geyser]

well great

for now I cant do anymore dev

my contabo vps is down

[radiant kraken]

rip

[deft wolf]

F

[sharp geyser]

Love it when has an unplanned maintenance

[radiant kraken]

happened to me several times with stackoverflow

[surreal sage]

refresh tokens

[sharp geyser]

Refreshing every 15m is annoying

[surreal sage]

you don't have to

refresh tokens dont expire

at least tmk

[smoky flume]

lang ??

?

[surreal sage]

@sharp geyser https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-1.5

[sharp geyser]

I dont think you understand how oauth2 works

[surreal sage]

access token and refresh token are different

[sharp geyser]

Once an access token expires, you have to refresh it

[surreal sage]

you use the refresh token to gain an access token

access tokens usually expire

[sharp geyser]

The access token is what allows you to request data on behalf of a user

[surreal sage]

refresh tokens don't expire on roblox

i know how oauth works

roblox expires the access tokens, not the refresh tokens

[sharp geyser]

So if you constantly need information, having to refresh every 15m is annoying

:)

[spark flint]

only refresh when needed 👍

[surreal sage]

this

[spark flint]

roblox oauth is just bad

[surreal sage]

no?

[spark flint]

like tokens limited to that short is just unneccesary

[surreal sage]

you update userdata when e.g. they log in

[spark flint]

yes, refresh when a new update is absolutely needed, and store the data where possible

otherwise ratelimits are your worst enemy

[surreal sage]

i think they're set high for oauth

should be tbh

got a big site with lots of users logging in? no more! 5 logins per minute 😇

it's often 2 requests at once for oauth (login)

getting the access & refresh token

then user info

[spark flint]

pretty sure you have to get your app approved for that

which is same for over 100 users

[surreal sage]

100 different users can authorize

i think that's the only limit

[surreal sage]

yea

[spark flint]

yeah

[surreal sage]

D2?

D2 grid square

[spark flint]

im glad roblox oauth does exist tho

better for verification bots

help

please

me no understand

[wheat mesa]

you need a &mut PgConnection and not a normal reference

[sharp geyser]

Well I understand that much

but why

I dont really understand the error is saying

[wheat mesa]

The error is saying that the get_ref function is defined by the trait Executor, but Executor is not implemented on &PgConnection, it is only implemented on &mut PgConnection

[frosty shuttle]

What ur making

[wheat mesa]

So something like this ```rs
trait Executor {
fn get_ref(&mut self) -> Something;
}

impl Executor for PgConnection {
fn get_ref(&mut self) -> Something {} // Notice the &mut self here
}

(internally)

[sharp geyser]

I see

But wait

Am I to just use &mut PgConnection as my data type in the generics?

#[get("/login")]
pub async fn login(pool: Data<&mut PgConnection>, data: Json<UserLogin>, session: Session) -> impl Responder {
    let result = sqlx::query_as::<_, User>("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1")
        .bind(&data.email)
        .fetch_one(pool.get_ref())
        .await;

    match result {
        Ok(user) => {



            Redirect::to("/").permanent()
        },
        Err(err) => {
            HttpResponse::BadRequest().json({
                ["successful"] = false;
                ["reason"] = err.to_string();
            })
        }
    }
}

[wheat mesa]

I guess?

Whatever works

💀

I am confusion

[wheat mesa]

uhhhh

oh wait

why are you doing .get_ref()?

Instead of .fetch_one(&mut pool)

[sharp geyser]

cause I didn't know that was a thing

💀

[wheat mesa]

I mean you could technically do .get_ref_mut() and it's the equivalent but you should prefer using &mut Whatever

That's some pretty common rust syntax that you should get used to

[sharp geyser]

pub async fn login(mut pool: Data<PgConnection>, data: Json<UserLogin>, session: Session) -> impl Responder {
    let result = sqlx::query_as::<_, User>("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1")
        .bind(&data.email)
        .fetch_one(&mut pool)
        .await;

so like that?

I made the pool param mutable cause it wont let me do it otherwise

[wheat mesa]

Close but not correct

Do pool: &mut Data<PgConnection>

Unless you absolutely have to own the pool connection

[sharp geyser]

I mean not really.

I dont see a reason why

[wheat mesa]

Usually you should always prefer borrowing over owning something unless you need ownership

[sharp geyser]

Well in this case I dont see why the connection should be owned here

So yea, that should work

Okay wth man, I get that it is not satisified but the rest of the error is what confuses me

[wheat mesa]

Again this is not correct

you need to be doing .fetch_one(&mut pool)

[sharp geyser]

but you said I was wrong

😭

[sharp geyser]

Also even if you do that it still errors which honestly makes no sense Cannot borrow immutable local variable `pool` as mutable

[wheat mesa]

Because you're not doing pool: &mut WhateverType

[sharp geyser]

I am though?

[wheat mesa]

Show me your full ode

[sharp geyser]

https://hatebin.com/ovgfncpttf

[radiant kraken]

pool is already a &mut, no?

so you're basically doing a &mut of a &mut

[wheat mesa]

no

[radiant kraken]

there's a difference between

fn thing(mut a: Type)
and
fn thing(a: &mut Type)

[radiant kraken]

^

let thing = &mut ... is a reference to a mutable variable, but the reference itself is not mutable

just pass in thing

[wheat mesa]

im like 99% sure that's not how it works

I'll test

mmmmmm

I see

[radiant kraken]

fn thing(a: &mut Type) { ... }

let mut x = ...;

thing(&mut x); // ok
let y = &mut x;
thing(y); // ok
thing(&mut y); // not ok

fn other(mut a: Type) { ... }

let mut a = ...;
other(a); // ok
other(&mut a); // not ok

[sharp geyser]

Even if I pass just pool it wouldnt work

[wheat mesa]

the libs you're using have complicated generics and lifetimes and shit so it's difficult to debug without actually doing it myself

[radiant kraken]

what is the type for the argument of fetch_one

[radiant kraken]

oh nvm

[sharp geyser]

Imagine how I feel even with it in front of me 😭

[radiant kraken]

@sharp geyser try pool.into_inner()

[sharp geyser]

wth does that do

[radiant kraken]

read the docs smh https://docs.rs/actix-web/latest/actix_web/web/struct.Data.html#method.into_inner

[sharp geyser]

Okay

Roughly the same error

into_inner() returns an Arc<PgConnection>, and that Arc can be converted to a &PgConnection

does the fetch_one() method supports a reference as the argument?

[sharp geyser]

https://docs.rs/sqlx/latest/sqlx/query/struct.QueryAs.html#method.fetch_one

Honestly these docs are confusing wtf is all those letters

[radiant kraken]

woah that's a lot of lifetimes

[sharp geyser]

are those all lifetimes?

[radiant kraken]

'e go brrrrr

yup

[sharp geyser]

I know nothing about lifetimes rn

[radiant kraken]

oh the PgConnection must be mut

@sharp geyser try this!

let mut pool_mut = pool.into_inner();

.fetch_one(pool_mut.get_mut().unwrap());

[sharp geyser]

What in the fuck

[wheat mesa]

this looks janky

never had to use something like this before

[sharp geyser]

I mean

get_mut doesnt even exist on pool_mut

[wheat mesa]

uh it should

[sharp geyser]

nope

there is as_mut

[wheat mesa]

should be implemented on all Arc<T>

[radiant kraken]

pool_mut is an Arc<PgConnection> yes?

[sharp geyser]

but nothing else

[sharp geyser]

Correct

but looking at the props provided get_mut is not one of em

and errors

[radiant kraken]

wth

try as_mut then

[sharp geyser]

No field `get_mut` in type `Arc<PgConnection, Global>` [E0609]

[radiant kraken]

wtf is this then https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Arc.html#method.get_mut

[wheat mesa]

field??

you aren't using the method then lol

[radiant kraken]

OH

[sharp geyser]

error[E0599]: no method named `get_mut` found for struct `Arc<PgConnection>` in the current scope

[radiant kraken]

Arc::get_mut(&mut pool_mut);

then .unwrap() it

i am on my phone

[sharp geyser]

Wait

Does rust have inheritence?

[radiant kraken]

no

[sharp geyser]

Can one struct extend the other?

😭

[radiant kraken]

yes

[sharp geyser]

?

is it no or yes

[radiant kraken]

it doesnt have an extends keyword

[wheat mesa]

it has "inheritance"

[radiant kraken]

but you can simulate inheritance

[wheat mesa]

but it's not designed to be used the same way as in OOP

"inheritance" is achieved using traits

[sharp geyser]

I mean it would suck to make another struct that is similar to another one with an extra field

[wheat mesa]

But dynamic dispatch is slow and should be avoided

[wheat mesa]

You should not use traits for this

[sharp geyser]

guess I will just make a whole new struct

actually

nvm

[wheat mesa]

Rust has like Box<dyn Trait> which is more or less designed to be used for errors, not for inheritance

[sharp geyser]

#[derive(Serialize)]
struct SignupStatus {
    created: bool,
    time: i64,
    reason: Option<String>
}

I will just use this, and if there is no need to supply a reason it wont error yea :D

[fleet storm]

what's the problem?

[wheat mesa]

A lot of traditional OOP is avoided by rust because of performance reasons, dynamic dispatch is expensive and often times completely unnecessaru

[wheat mesa]

#support

[radiant kraken]

use core::ops::Deref;

struct A {}
impl A {}

struct B<'a> {
  a: &'a A,
}

impl<'a> B<'a> {
  fn new(a: &'a A) -> Self {
    Self {
      a,
    }
  }
}

// the trick
impl Deref for B<'_> {
  type Target = A;

  fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
    self.a
  }
}

let a = A {};
a.a_funcs();

let b = B::new(&a);
b.a_funcs();
b.b_funcs();

@misty.dev

ig this is inheritance

[wheat mesa]

that's uh

a jank trick

[radiant kraken]

you can store structs in each other

[sharp geyser]

What me no understand

[radiant kraken]

here's a less janky trick ```rs
use core::ops::Deref;

struct A {}
impl A {}

struct B {
a: A,
}

impl B {
fn new(a: A) -> Self {
Self {
a,
}
}
}

// the trick
impl Deref for B {
type Target = A;

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
&self.a
}
}

let a = A {};
a.a_funcs();

let b = B::new(a);
b.a_funcs();
b.b_funcs();

deref() lets you implicitly also use the reference inside B, which is A

[sharp geyser]

ima just avoid the thought of inheritice in rust

[wheat mesa]

"traditional" inheritance is more or less implemented like so ```rs
trait Pet {
fn speak(&self) -> String;
}

struct Cat {
some_field: String
}

struct Dog {
some_other_field: String
}

impl Pet for Cat {
// impl speak
}

impl Pet for Dog {
// impl speak
}

// Then, you can store stuff like so
let pets: Vec<Box<dyn Pet>> = vec![];
pets.push(Box::new(Cat { some_field: "Something".to_string() }));
pets.push(Box::new(Dog { some_other_field: "Something".to_string() }));

But this is super inefficient performance wise and will 99% of the time end up with borrow checker conflicts

So, composition over inheritance is really what rust tries to promote

[radiant kraken]

You would rarely use Box<dyn ...> tbh

Deref is way better, though it only limits to one Type

Deref is used in things like Arc<> and Box<>, so that you don't have to call into_inner() whenever you want to call methods of the inner variable

[wheat mesa]

I edited it, I should've said "traditional" inheritance

[radiant kraken]

@wheat mesa @sharp geyser here is the documentation for String, you could say that String inherits &str

because you can also use methods from &str in a String

[wheat mesa]

This is a special case though and I don't see this often

[radiant kraken]

it's used very often lol

though i recommend you play around with traits more often misty

you will see a lot of it everywhere

[wheat mesa]

Even operators are implemented as traits

Kinda funny

[radiant kraken]

it's an easy way to do operator overloading

making let res = my_struct + my_other_struct; possible

[wheat mesa]

and yet somehow with all this fancy operator overloading I still fucking hate adding strings together

[radiant kraken]

why

just .push_str or format! it

[wheat mesa]

I understand why, but it's still so annoying

[radiant kraken]

me when println!("{s}{s2}");

[wheat mesa]

I know but this isn't the use case

Lots more cases where this becomes annoying

[radiant kraken]

if you want to add a &str to the beginning of a String, you can do

second.insert_str(0, first);

i appreciate Rust's way of differentiating string slices with owned strings tho

[wheat mesa]

And yet this is still annoying because I should just be able to add them together without the hassle of calling special methods

[radiant kraken]

me when format!

[wheat mesa]

I should not need to use a macro to concatenate two strings

Every other language on the planet has figured it out

[radiant kraken]

besides Rust is not a very high-level language anyway

[wheat mesa]

It’s honestly my biggest complaint about rust

Which is probably a good thing considering it’s a minor issue

[radiant kraken]

same goes for C++

[wheat mesa]

I suppose that’s true for some scenarios but I don’t find myself using C strings super often anyways

[radiant kraken]

use Strings instead of &str then

[wheat mesa]

I do most of the time

But adding a string literal with an owned string is annoying

Same goes for c++

[radiant kraken]

well either using a macro, a special method, or an overloaded operator is the most you can get out of these languages

it's not that bad

[wheat mesa]

I feel like with the trait system, these operators should be implemented by default

[radiant kraken]

wym?

you can't mutate a &str

[sharp geyser]

I don’t even know what traits are

Ill google it later

[radiant kraken]

traits are like interfaces

trait Thing {
  fn do_thing(&self) -> i32;
  fn do_other_thing_default_impl(&self) -> i32 {
    69
  }
}

struct MyType { a: i32 }
impl Thing for MyType {
  fn do_thing(&self) -> i32 {
    self.a + 69
  }
}

let t = MyType { a: 5 };
println!("{}", t.do_thing());
println!("{}", t.do_other_thing_default_impl());

you can do

fn func<T>(input: &T) -> i32
where
  T: Thing,
{
  input.do_thing() + input.do_other_thing_default_impl()
}

(you can also do fn func<T: Thing>(input: &T) -> i32, which does the same thing)

[sharp geyser]

What’s the benefit of using traits over just making functions normally

[deft wolf]

Thanks

[radiant kraken]

they are basically like interfaces in other languages

smh

[sharp geyser]

Then what is the difference between a struct and a trait?

Explaining a trait like an interface, but to me it seems structs are more like interfaces

[humble mauve]

Alles gut

[radiant kraken]

structs, are... structs?

they are datatypes

just like classes

you can't store properties to a trait

its relevant info as to why they have joined so in their best intrests

not spam so to speak

like a guide and info

can i send here what i was thinking to see if thats doable, im not promoting 🤙🏻

Something like this

With links to channels

[deft wolf]

Ratelimit is ratelimit, no matter what kind of message you send to the user, you have to be careful not to exceed it because discord will block your bot for some time. You definitely won't send it at once

[lyric mountain]

dmming every member is a great way of being flagged for spam

[earnest phoenix]

Im a noob at all this so I appreciate the help

[deft wolf]

Automod moment

[lyric mountain]

[earnest phoenix]

could it be set to say a daily limit over some sort of time frame

[spark flint]

your bot will be marked as spam regardless of ratelimits

my bot, even tho its verified, got marked as spam by Discord for sending out too many welcome DMs to users

that was like 300 in a day

discord has a strict antispam when it comes to bots

so be careful

[earnest phoenix]

appreciate it guys

🙏

might just leave it as the welcome set up and everyone else can figure it out

how about a bot that kept a tally

say i imput - 2

and another person with the right role could +5

and it kept count in a channel

feel free to dm if anyone has any ideas, appreciate the help legends

im hoping 1 of the 2838 bot developers might have an idea , will pay

[lyric mountain]

wdym with tally?

like a score keeper?

[earnest phoenix]

like keep a count

yeah

[lyric mountain]

just save on the database the ID of the score message

[earnest phoenix]

but several ppl could use a command and imout their score for the day

[lyric mountain]

it can technically work if you use an update queue

like, the message update every X seconds (best to use minutes), whenever someone uses that command you modify the tracked message

idk how to explain this tho

[earnest phoenix]

they would update the score daily across 10 ppl and give an overall score + or minus

[sharp geyser]

Okay but the idea of traits don’t exist in any other language I’ve seen. Interfaces in typescript for example can have properties or outline a function

rust has many keywords as well that don’t make much sense to me

Such as impl

I’ve noticed it used in combination with structs and I think traits as well

[radiant kraken]

impl stands for implement

with this you can implement your own methods for structs (impl StructName) or implement other traits for your structs (impl Trait for StructName)

[sharp geyser]

🤔

[sharp geyser]

So let me get this straight, I can use impl to implement methods for my structs or make a trait and use impl on a struct to do the exact same thing?

Sounds to me traits aren’t useful at all

Only thing I can see traits being used for is if multiple structs can have the same methods

But beyond that it seems rather pointless

[radiant kraken]

pretty much, but not really the same methods, but does the same thing

traits can be complex

like https://docs.rs/serenity/latest/serenity/client/trait.EventHandler.html

traits can also have default implementations too

for example see https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html

if you implement this, you can do for elem in your_struct { ... }

you should read the rust book especially chapter 5 https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch05-00-structs.html and chapter 10 https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html

[lyric mountain]

that sounds a lot like interfaces, are they equivalent?

[radiant kraken]

yup, except Rust traits don't support required properties - they only allow functions/implementations

thus, impl Trait for Struct

[lyric mountain]

wdym required properties?

[radiant kraken]

e.g require classes that implement such interface to have a specific attribute/property

[lyric mountain]

ah yes, I was using java interfaces as a reference, we dont have that either

dont know much about rust

[wheat mesa]

Traits are extremely useful for extendability

You can add methods onto structs that you didn’t create yourself

Without the mess of extending things like in traditional OOP

Some content wont load for me, as I dont have all the files

Op, I didn't see the part about hiding spotifys card

[quaint rampart]

exactly like that actually

and oh i didnt send it as a link hold on

[solemn latch]

I dont think i'll need the link.

[quaint rampart]

oh alrighty, what isnt loading then?

[solemn latch]

Oh just the images, nothing I need to play around with it.

lemme make a gist, and play around with it to make sure this is right.

I might spoonfeed a little here, but only because you seem to really be trying ^-^

[quaint rampart]

thank you, and i really have 🥲 ive been trying to deal with this problem for almost 2 hours now

[solemn latch]

I'm still learning too, so playing around with this is good practice

[quaint rampart]

yeah i mean ive defintely learned alot so far with css just today alone with this site its defintely good practice BUT VERYYYYY IRRITATING

[solemn latch]

1000%

Have you played around with figma?

Using figma auto layouts helped me with learning flex.

[quaint rampart]

i have not actually but i think i should, i really wanna get into front end but everytime i attempt to i remember why i didnt last time 🥲

[solemn latch]

So, there's a small issue with what I'm giving you.

Without the spotify thing the heights change, just set the parent div to a min height above the spotify height(solving everything would make me feel bad, but I can help if you cant figure it out)

I did delete a few things that looked un-needed, but wasn't sure how much you need for other things.

The raw is here: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Team-Woo/1d26cf45dcc3b398ef65fb071c573f36/raw/120874ecfbd94f50ab7421934b455d483e256910/gistfile1.txt

[quaint rampart]

alrighty thank you so much and i actually appreciate the challenge its the only way to learn. ill def try to fix it tmr since its getting late here and see what i can do! thank you so much for your help and ill keep you updated :D

thank you again for your help

did I succeed in making the ai think it has feelings https://fs.rjns.dev/v/cvBPsTWZAVAHhLYfwk

[green kestrel]

finally got around to making a faq page, feedback welcome. anything i missed thats obvious, ping me and let me know

[green kestrel]

youll only know when the robot apocalypse begins

"you hurt my feels now you must die"

[deft wolf]

Why no dark mode

[green kestrel]

because no 😄

i wanted to concentrate on the bot this time around, not websites, so ive used my old wordpress site and its theme, instead of spending weeks designing a new site. it does the job and has mighty seo

[deft wolf]

Understandable

[green kestrel]

i will need to do some custom web work when i roll out the premium sub

im still not going to use discord's monetization

[deft wolf]

The website itself is quite understandable and readable, I have no objections to that, but what really irritates me is the fact that at the very top there is such a nice background and below it there is no background, only these black bars

[sharp geyser]

@radiant kraken @wheat mesa so I have a struct that is for use when I am giving status information such as if something succeeded or failed, and if something succeeded I dont need a reason so I made that field an Option<String>, thing is when I go to use the struct and give the reason field a value that has the type String I get the whole type expected to be Option<String> but got String instead thing, should I use Option::from(value) or Some(value)

[radiant kraken]

Some(value)

read https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch06-00-enums.html smh

[sharp geyser]

What’s so wrong with asking questions

Sorry if I’m inconveniencing you I won’t ask anymore

[radiant kraken]

it's okay, i'm just advising that you should read the book

since it gets to the basics in a simple manner

[pale vessel]

its fine misty i barely read the book either

i just asked my friend for stuff and read the rest of the docs

[radiant kraken]

i read the book until i got to the chapter that talks about lifetimes

and then i quit from learning Rust for about a year

[sharp geyser]

I don't read the book simply because thats not how I learn

I can read it all day long but I won't remember or actually understand any of it

[radiant kraken]

oh alright

[radiant kraken]

how do you learn? just wondering

[pale vessel]

by examples im guessing

which is the same for me

theres RBE, maybe he'd be interested in that

[fast jungle]

I learn by doing, as with most people I think

[sharp geyser]

I learn by just experimenting

I read the basics and go from there

Playing around with the language is more helpful then reading a book on how it works.

[radiant kraken]

ah ic

honestly i used to do the same too

[sharp geyser]

It's what I have always done and it seems to work out.

[radiant kraken]

whenever i read docs i would just scroll down to the example codeblock

and read the passage before it

[sharp geyser]

I look at a lot of examples as well, but most of the time trying to do something and looking at the error to see what I did wrong then fix it is more helpful

Cause I learn what I did wrong, how to identify it, and how to fix it

[radiant kraken]

ah okay

Rust's rustc --explain <error_code> should be useful to you

[sharp geyser]

Did not know it was a thing

thanks for pointing that out

[radiant kraken]

it's at the bottom of almost every error stack

[sharp geyser]

Honestly with rust I find myself spending more on structuring the data then actually coding 😭

[sharp geyser]

I look at the top

:D

this looks so bad

😭

[radiant kraken]

is your rust project still in one file 😭

[sharp geyser]

No god no

This is my auth file

[radiant kraken]

oh okay good

[sharp geyser]

First thing I learned how to do was make mod files

No way was I going to make a 4000+ line project

[radiant kraken]

this looks okay, but why is HttpResponder not implemented by any type

[sharp geyser]

hm?

I orignally had it with HttpError cause that is the big place that I would be using it

but idk too much about traits and it seemed useless to do so if I wasn't going to be doing much else

[radiant kraken]

you should remove the HttpResponder trait and make get_time as a standalone fn

[sharp geyser]

I can yea

I plan on having multiple util functions so I might as well move it to a whole new file all together

[radiant kraken]

this is a good example

pub trait Summary {
    fn summarize(&self) -> String;
}

pub struct NewsArticle {
    pub headline: String,
    pub location: String,
    pub author: String,
    pub content: String,
}

impl Summary for NewsArticle {
    fn summarize(&self) -> String {
        format!("{}, by {} ({})", self.headline, self.author, self.location)
    }
}

pub struct Tweet {
    pub username: String,
    pub content: String,
    pub reply: bool,
    pub retweet: bool,
}

impl Summary for Tweet {
    fn summarize(&self) -> String {
        format!("{}: {}", self.username, self.content)
    }
}

pub fn notify<T: Summary>(item: &T) {
    println!("Breaking news! {}", item.summarize());
}

[sharp geyser]

So dont actually implement the function in the trait just outline what it should look like?

[radiant kraken]

you can call notify with a &NewsArticle or &Tweet

[sharp geyser]

Gotcha

[radiant kraken]

not really

[sharp geyser]

Fuck the borrow checker man

I still don't understand how to avoid it

[radiant kraken]

@sharp geyser

those are default implementations so that you don't have to include it whenever you do impl MyTrait for MyStruct, doing so would override the default implementation

[sharp geyser]

I see

The borrow checker in rust makes me wanna jump off a bridge

[radiant kraken]

You can't avoid it, only learn from it

[sharp geyser]

I feel like using Arcs for the db stuff is not the best

[radiant kraken]

can you tell me the error?

[sharp geyser]

There has to be a better way

[radiant kraken]

Arcs (atomically reference counted types) are very useful when sharing data between async threads, especially between async/await code

[sharp geyser]

I see

bro

reading the shit off of the error explainer is more confusing then the error ngl

I get the value is freed and since its being borrowed thats bad

[radiant kraken]

send the error

[sharp geyser]

error[E0716]: temporary value dropped while borrowed
  --> src\routes\auth.rs:70:16
   |
70 |     let salt = Uuid::new_v4().as_bytes();
   |                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^           - temporary value is freed at the end of this statement
   |                |
   |                creates a temporary value which is freed while still in use
71 |     let config = Config::default();
72 |     let hashed_pass = hash_encoded(&data.password.as_bytes(), salt, &config).unwrap();
   |                                                               ---- borrow later used here
   |
   = note: consider using a `let` binding to create a longer lived value

I understand the error

but clicking the error code (as you can in the ide terminal) and reading the page it takes you too is more confusing

[radiant kraken]

let uuid = Uuid::new_v4();
let salt = uuid.as_bytes();

.as_bytes() here doesn't consume (immediately drops it after being called) the Uuid type, so you can't use it in one line

[sharp geyser]

I see

So what exactly does consume mean here?

I thought once something reaches the end of the scope it is gone

[radiant kraken]

fn thing(consumed_value: i32) {
  // consumed_value drops after this function ends
}

let value = 5;
thing(value);
// you can't use value after this, because it's already dropped/no longer exists
// therefore it's 'consumed' by thing()

// borrowing is the same thing as referencing
fn thing(borrowed_value: &i32) {}

let value = 5;
thing(&value);
// you can still use value after calling thing()!

[sharp geyser]

Man I am actually bout to throw my pc, I am crying 😭

Why is async rust so fucking annoying

Also using postgres in rust

[radiant kraken]

btw i32s (or any primitive number type) cannot be consumed so it's actually fine to call thing(value);

but not for other things like Strings

[sharp geyser]

I see

Honestly tempted to start this project over from scratch

I've gotten too messy with it

and cleaning it up is going to be annoying

[radiant kraken]

because when you make a copy of it, it doesn't matter because the value doesn't change (not the same story for things like Strings, which have to point to a specific memory location)

[radiant kraken]

It's fine misty

we all went there before

as you understand more you will constantly want to rewrite the entire thing

[sharp geyser]

Rust is the lang I prefer to use for this, but by golly is it so fucking annoying

[radiant kraken]

it's fine, i can always help you

[sharp geyser]

Honestly I think I am just overthinking the entire thing

I am trying to do multiple things at once

And I am also trying to make everything perfect and worrying too much about how it will work

[radiant kraken]

sameeee

this is basically one of the things preventing me from making any new projects

that perfectionism

[sharp geyser]

Yea

Not to mention that I have grown to hate working on things by myself

I am more of a team player now

So doing shit by myself is a big reason I lose motivation

[radiant kraken]

oooooof

you can always have me on the project

[sharp geyser]

If you want to, i'd love the help

A lot of it has to do with my need to seek praise from people who use my services

I like making things that help people

[radiant kraken]

SAMEEEE

i tend to make libraries more than actual standalone applications

[sharp geyser]

on god

[radiant kraken]

maybe because they're simple in nature

[sharp geyser]

I used to do the same

but then I saw no one was using em

and got depressed

I will say though I had a guy add me years ago and ask me questions about a lib I made for tracker.gg

so that was kinda exciting

[radiant kraken]

i've had several people port my library to other languages with their wrappers before

my lib was featured on a reddit thread and stackoverflow post once 😭

[sharp geyser]

oh nice

[radiant kraken]

though it's only one guy saying it

[olive tiger]

when i can vote

[sharp geyser]

hey all it takes is one guy

@radiant kraken honestly no idea why I am overthinking the database.

I myself am only going to be having a single model to hold user data, the rest will be them creating their own.

[radiant kraken]

it's okay, happens to me often too
