development

[solemn latch]

I really love the new DJs docs, they're amazing.

Takes up a little too much space to describe a prop though, but its very readable

[pale vessel]

that's just not how the lib is designed

[wheat mesa]

djs = abstraction abstraction abstraction

[sharp geyser]

Yes I know

I wish it was designed that way though

You can still be beginner friendly without all those builders that abstract away from the point of the library

[earnest phoenix]

Alright I think I got it

client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
  if (interaction.isChatInputCommand() && interaction.commandName === "ping") {
    const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .addtitle("Connect to our Server")
    .addDescription("Test description");
  };
});

is this correct?

[wheat mesa]

no

[solemn latch]

op ok, I was about to say I think so 👀

lmao

[wheat mesa]

It’s close but not going to run properly

It’s addTitle not addtitle

Camel case

[deft wolf]

Wait, addTitle?

Not setTitle?

[solemn latch]

https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/builders/1.7.0/EmbedBuilder:Class#setTitle

[vivid fulcrum]

do you not have intellisense? what are you working in 🤔

[solemn latch]

setTitle

[solemn latch]

the right question to ask

[earnest phoenix]

TypeError: (intermediate value).settitle is not a function

[earnest phoenix]

replit

[solemn latch]

Capital T

setTitle not settitle

[earnest phoenix]

now the command doesn't respond but no errors?

[wheat mesa]

I’d highly recommend learning some javascript before trying to make a bot. It’s a lot easier

[solemn latch]

looks like you may have gotten rid of the interaction.reply

[earnest phoenix]

 interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });

this works right

[earnest phoenix]

I mean

[wheat mesa]

https://tryitands.ee

[earnest phoenix]

I was fine at making bots 2 years ago

3*

in 2021

which is why I have the developer role,

but I forgot all of it and now there are so many changes

[wheat mesa]

I’m not talking about learning the library

I’m talking about learning the language

That error told you exactly what was wrong but you (I’m assuming since you pasted it here) didn’t know what it meant

It’s important to understand the language before trying to make complex applications such as a discord bot

[earnest phoenix]

how does this not work? I don't understand

[deft wolf]

You can't use capital letters and spaces in command name if i remember correctly

For options too

[earnest phoenix]

Removed them it has a different error now

DiscordAPIError[50035]: Invalid Form Body
1.options[0].name[APPLICATION_COMMAND_INVALID_NAME]: Command name is invalid
1.options[1].name[APPLICATION_COMMAND_INVALID_NAME]: Command name is invalid

[warm surge]

you cant have uppercase letters

[earnest phoenix]

ty

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
  if (interaction.isChatInputCommand() && interaction.commandName === "ban") {
    const { options, member } = interaction;
    const user = options.getUser("target-user");
    const ID = user.id;
    const banUser = client.users.cache.get(ID);

    if (!member.permissions.has(Discord.PermissionFlagsBits.BanMembers)) {
      return await interaction.reply({
        content: "You must have ban permissions to ban users.",
        ephemeral: true,
      });
    }

    if (member.id === ID) {
      return await interaction.reply({
        content: "You cannot ban yourself!",
        ephemeral: true,
      });
    }

    let reason = interaction.options.getString("reason");
    if (!reason) reason = "No reason provided";

    const dmEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setColor("Blue")
      .setDescription(`You have been banned from the Atlas SMP | ${reason}`);

    const banEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setColor("Blue")
      .setDescription(`${banUser.tag} has been banned | ${reason}`);

    await interaction.guild.bans.create(banUser.id, { reason }).catch((err) => {
      return interaction.reply({
        content: "I cannot ban this member",
        ephemeral: true,
      });
    });

    await banUser.send({ embeds: [dmEmbed] }).catch((err) => {
      return;
    });

    await interaction.reply({ embeds: [banEmbed] });
  }
});

Why does this code throw error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id')
at Client.<anonymous> (/home/runner/atlasbackend/index.js:47:21)

[solemn latch]

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id')

Means you're using .id on a null variable.

Just glancing at your code, user.id; user might be null.
banUser.id; banUser might be null.

[earnest phoenix]

Ok I fixed that issue, and here is the updated code:

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const { Client, Intents, Collection, MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

const {
  REST,
  Routes,
  ApplicationCommandOptionType,
  PermissionFlagsBits,
} = require("discord.js");


module.exports = {
  data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
  .setName("Ban")
  .setDescription("Bans a user from Atlas SMP!")
  .addUserOption(option => option.setName('user').setDescription('The user you wish to ban').setRequired(true))
  .addStringOption(option => option.setName('reason').setDescription('The reason for the ban').setRequired(true)),
  async execute(interaction, client){
    const user = options.getUser("target-user");
        const ID = user.id;
        const banUser = client.users.cache.get(ID);

        if (!member.permissions.has(Discord.PermissionFlagsBits.BanMembers)) {
          return await interaction.reply({
            content: "You must have ban permissions to ban users.",
            ephemeral: true,
          });
        }

        if (member.id === ID) {
          return await interaction.reply({
            content: "You cannot ban yourself!",
            ephemeral: true,
          });
        }

        let reason = interaction.options.getString("reason");
        if (!reason) reason = "No reason provided";

        const dmEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
          .setColor("Blue")
          .setDescription(`You have been banned from the Atlas SMP | ${reason}`);

        const banEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
          .setColor("Blue")
          .setDescription(`${banUser.tag} has been banned | ${reason}`);

        await interaction.guild.bans.create(banUser.id, { reason }).catch((err) => {
          return interaction.reply({
            content: "I cannot ban this member",
            ephemeral: true,
          });
        });

        await banUser.send({ embeds: [dmEmbed] }).catch((err) => {
          return;
        });

        await interaction.reply({ embeds: [banEmbed] });
      }

}

throws this error:

/home/runner/atlasbackend/node_modules/@sapphire/shapeshift/dist/cjs/index.cjs:46
throw this.error;
^

ExpectedConstraintError: Invalid string format

[solemn latch]

Shapeshift is input validation.
Its probably the name of your ban command, I think you just worked on this issue in another error you had above.

[deft wolf]

Why .setName("Ban")?

[earnest phoenix]

Wdym?

[deft wolf]

It should be .setName("ban")

[earnest phoenix]

Ah yes, it's fixed now tysm lol

However my slash command doesn't appear now?

[deft wolf]

Are you sure you registered it correctly?

[earnest phoenix]

That's the only code I have for my ban command

it's in a ban.js file

[deft wolf]

Then you need to register it now

[earnest phoenix]

Should I just do that in my commands.js?

[deft wolf]

It depends on what it is. This is usually done in the main bot file (bot.js/index.js) because it is only launched once

[solemn latch]

You realistically shouldn't register it every time your bot launches.

IIRC, you can register it once and never register it again unless its edited.
If your bots ever in a reboot loop it & it registers all commands every time its easy to get a rate limit.

But that can be an issue for another day.

[earnest phoenix]

I registered it here?

[earnest phoenix]

Didn't I register it in the code I put above

in the ban.js

[solemn latch]

You're creating the command locally, but not sending any information to discord.

[deft wolf]

Nope, what is in this file needs to be registered using most likely rest.put() as you did with the ping command earlier

[earnest phoenix]

Can I register it in the same file?

How someone knows what is cooldown for Canvas api's rate limit?

[solemn latch]

Might be useful: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-deployment.html#command-registration

[deft wolf]

This won't work. This file must be "fired" in some way for anything to work in it

[earnest phoenix]

How would I do that?

Is there some documentation?

[deft wolf]

Read that

[sterile lantern]

i still get Cannot send empty message

i tried this as well

[earnest phoenix]

I read it and I don't understand how it applies to my case

[earnest phoenix]

I read it and I don't understand it

[pale vessel]

don't set the content type

[sterile lantern]

same error

[pale vessel]

what error?

ah i see

[pale vessel]

what's ur current code?

[sterile lantern]

oh

i changed type to image

and it worked

but how do i make it actually embed

[spark flint]

you're sending a PNG as a text filetype

so it will try and embed like a text file

[sterile lantern]

i changed the filetype to image

still appears like that

[sterile lantern]

would i need to send it as an embed or is there another way to have it display the img

[sharp geyser]

Make sure the image isn’t breaking discord’s restrictions

An image can only be a certain width and height

[sterile lantern]

it def isnt breaking file size

nor width/height

[sharp geyser]

Are you sure?

[sterile lantern]

yes

[sterile lantern]

this is the image i used

[sharp geyser]

I’ve seen people say the same thing and it was actually the size of the image

[sterile lantern]

if it helps its being uploaded via a slash cmd and its an ephemeral img

[sharp geyser]

Doesn’t really matter here

[pale vessel]

this

[sharp geyser]

So long as it’s not too big or the file isn’t too large it will embed most of the time. Also yea what flaze said

[sterile lantern]

the img is an object

directly from the slash cmd

[pale vessel]

what obj?

[sterile lantern]

attachment object

[pale vessel]

that won't do

u need the image as a blob/buffer in order to upload it

something like formData.append("files[0]", await (await fetch(img.url)).blob(), "image.png");

[sterile lantern]

that worked

ty

[sterile lantern]

btw if i wanted to edit that same msg, this should work right:

(message is the webhook msg obj)

it doesnt seem to work and idk why

[pale vessel]

what doesn't work

[sterile lantern]

the editing of the msg

it doesnt edit the message

the response.json just prints object Object

[pale vessel]

yea u JSON.stringify() it

[sterile lantern]

turns out webhook id is returning false

sigh

the editing changes it into that

[solemn latch]

I'm not 100% on this, but editing images attachments isnt possible on webhooks right?

[lament rock]

console.log uses util.inspect on Objects. Either stringify it with JSON.stringify (not String or toString) or util.inspect

[sterile lantern]

yeah i stringified it

oh well

actually

i fixed it by simply not editing the image

since i dont need to

[sterile lantern]

does anyone know the rate limit for fetching members in a role? i want to fetch the members in 12 roles

actually i could probably fetch all the guild members and then map for each role

[lament rock]

If you perform a request, it tells you the bucket info. rate limits should not be hard coded

[crystal wigeon]

What’s wrong with topgg?

I’ve been receiving lot of complaints of people not being able to vote

Cause the site keeps crashing or just says something went wrong

It’s been like this for the past week entirely

[deft wolf]

This is nothing new, top.gg has such an episode on average every few days

Apparently the website is as stable as it has ever been

[fossil bone]

ok so my bot used to work a few months ago, i haven't changed a thing in the code so i tried to revive and use it now it refused to work
any ideas why?
i get these in the console outputs
2024-02-12 10:04:37 INFO discord.client logging in using static token
2024-02-12 10:04:38 INFO discord.gateway Shard ID None has connected to Gateway (Session ID: 34fe665d4ebee525888f9a4cc97a1607).
but yet it doesn't interact whit any command i use in the server
i checked the priviliged intents and all were toggled on like they always were, so idk at this point i'm lost, and i think it can only be a new discord update that i'm not updated to causing this, so help me out here?

[earnest phoenix]

It would help if you sent the code for your bot

[fossil bone]

import csv

#it can't get any simpler it's just a calculator bot that with a csv file for chatting

[civic scroll]

damn

[pale vessel]

you might need to explicitly add message content intent

i don't think it's included inside the default intents

[civic scroll]

resisting my urge to optimise this code

😔

[pale vessel]

keep ur ego down

[civic scroll]

[earnest phoenix]

if i open visual studio code, with my bot code and everything and i keep that running on like a non-used computer, does it go forever until i turn it off?

[civic scroll]

it would go until vscode is closed

but why would you need vscode just to run the bot?

you can run it from powershell or command prompt

[earnest phoenix]

oh

well now i feel really stupid buying from a bot hosting site

[spark flint]

thats not stupid

its cheaper to use bot hosting instead of an old pc

[earnest phoenix]

how

[spark flint]

because with an old pc

you are paying for power

you are paying for bandwidth

[earnest phoenix]

yeah but its just a bot for my server

[spark flint]

oh if its just for you

then yes

if its a public bot, i would use hosting

[pseudo grotto]

Is there a way for bots to verify members to bypass server filters, like normal human admins can do by right clicking on a member and clicking verify? For example, waiting 10 minutes in a server when verification is HIGH.

[spark flint]

you can give them a blank role

that bypasses

(at least it used to)

[pseudo grotto]

roles could bypass?

[spark flint]

thats why the role <@&432583476659879936> exists here

[pseudo grotto]

but it doesnt anymore?

[spark flint]

i'm not sure

pretty sure it still works

[pseudo grotto]

i mean why would you guys make a role for it

when you can just right click

and verify?

idk

[spark flint]

because that feature is relatively new

[pseudo grotto]

so the people who specially verified, still have that role

[spark flint]

the roles existed since 2018

yes

[pseudo grotto]

lol so we can just ping em

or i cant

[spark flint]

the role doesn't ping

you can mention a role without pinging it

[pseudo grotto]

hm

ok

[spark flint]

<@&265125253443878912>

[pseudo grotto]

<@&585528734904352769>

[spark flint]

doesn't ping

<@&585528734904352769>

would be funny if that pinged

[earnest phoenix]

application_id[NUMBER_TYPE_COERCE]: Value "YOUR CLIENT ID" is not snowflake.

what does this error mean

nvm fixed it

[low orbit]

Am i going crazy or why can it not find this entry

[lyric mountain]

because string != number

[low orbit]

they're both strings and I'm using == so it shouldn't matter anyways

[lyric mountain]

and I'm using == so it shouldn't matter anyways
for one never ever use double equals, it's a recipe for hard-to-find bugs, and using it for certain things like discord ids wouldn't work anyway

because the string will be cast to int, which will truncate the value

I believe the issue might be that you're using this inside an arrow function

try storing the lookup id in a constant

[low orbit]

nah i've just found it, console.log(getData) wasn't where it was in that screenshot, i had moved it just so i could show what i was logging when i sent here, but when i ran it, it was an empty array 🤦‍♂️

[deft wolf]

In my opinion, even if it is a bot for only one server, it is still worth buying normal hosting. Even 512MB of RAM for a dollar or two a month is not that much, but the bot will work 24/7, especially if it is a bot that is supposed to deal with user verification, role assignment and such general server matters

[frozen linden]

Hello

Hi

NyNu

[deft wolf]

?

[lyric mountain]

even if it was a ping bot it'd be worth tbh

linux knowledge is never wasted

[surreal sage]

try [...datathinghere] nmaybe

always try spread operator when objects arent object-ing

[sterile lantern]

for some reason when i try to update a field it just completely removes it

im using mongo-http

i tried w/out update and just $set, that didnt work either (just completely removed the array from the doc)

[low orbit]

i already fixed it, its all good

[earnest phoenix]

how do i make it so they have to vote before using a command?

[spark flint]

I don’t think you need the update part

On mobile so hard to show

Then remove the “ around $set

[sterile lantern]

same problem

still deletes the array entirely

[spark flint]

hm

idk if this works with that lib but

await db.collection('points').updateOne({ _id: "points" }, { $push: { "Approved Points": user } }, { upsert: true });```

thats how i'd do it personally

[sterile lantern]

push doesnt work either

so weird

[spark flint]

very weird

[sterile lantern]

its also not the db operation failing.. it says its successful and modified 1 doc

[sterile lantern]

nvm, it was a bracket issue

[sharp geyser]

Is that a lib for mongo?

[sterile lantern]

yeah

im using cf workers so im using a http lib of mongo

thank you

[sterile lantern]

if i fetch guild members (which returns guild member objs and their role ids), can i filter the users with a specific role name or would i have to use id

[quartz kindle]

members have role ids, role objects have role names

so to filter by name, you need to have the role object in the guild, so you can check its name with the id from the member

most libs will already do that for you as long as the roles are cached

[sterile lantern]

meh i think id is just better

im using http so it would be a manual req

and theres like 10k+ members

[quartz kindle]

afaik there is no way to filter members by roles without fetching all members, which is a pain in the arse

[sterile lantern]

yeah im just fetching members then looping through them to see if they have a role

[pale vessel]

it's so dumb since there's guilds/:id/roles/:id/member-ids but they're locked to users only

[quartz kindle]

pain au cul

[summer torrent]

hi tim, how's it going

[stiff dust]

Hello I want to create new Private Bot and give activity roles
for example if someone sent 500 messages in last 7 days I want to give them an specific role
Just need a little help for the structure can someone explain what is the best way to do it?

The idea I have is this!

For each user set an array and a number called DailyMessagesCount in DB
And also create a DJS Collection called users and assign it to client like client.users
and count their messages in each hour like client.users++ for each message by them in messageCreate event and update DailyMessagesCount for each user in hour and then after that in the end of the day in 00:00 I will push DailyMessagesCount to that array in the DB and also I count the sum of the elements in the array and if the element is more than 500 I will assign them as Active Member and give them that role also after that if the elements of the array reach 7 I remove the first one and add new one so this way it will only count messages during last 7 days

[sterile lantern]

how would i first defer a response, and then update it after the code completes? rn it just returns a response at the end

i tried this but it said unknown interaction

(the id and token are correct)

[solemn latch]

👀 raw api? I like it

are you writing a lib? 👀

[sterile lantern]

no im just using cf workers haha

[solemn latch]

OH COOL
I love those types of projects

so neat

[sterile lantern]

yep its very cool but yet so tedious at the same time with all of these manual reqs

[solemn latch]

Yeah, for sure.

I have webhooks being sent from a cf worker, loved making it. PITA to maintain

[sterile lantern]

unsure why this is erroring tho -- its not longer than 3 seconds

[solemn latch]

Its message.id right?
message.data.id would be the id of the application command

[sterile lantern]

is that not the id ur supposed to provide

i couldve sworn i saw interaction id

lol that fixed it, thanks

[solemn latch]

Yeah, interaction id.
not the interaction.data.id

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#create-interaction-response

if you click on {interaction.id}
the first field is that id.

[sterile lantern]

but is it possible to make it ephemeral

[solemn latch]

I haven't used a slash command bot in months.
you need to set it as ephemeral in the defer message right?

[sterile lantern]

oh its just flags

so when i defer

should i create followup msg, or edit original response

[solemn latch]

it should be a follow up iirc.

[sterile lantern]

alr ty

[sterile lantern]

it seems to be stuck in thinking

this works

this doesnt

the return is in the else if (message.type ...

this is what response1 is

[solemn latch]

api/v10**//**websockets/

does // not cause issues here?

[sterile lantern]

let me fix that lol thanks

oof still doesnt respond

[solemn latch]

status code/text?

[sterile lantern]

none of it is printing

cf workers just show canceled

[solemn latch]

Just log (a.status, a.statusText)

It might help to wrap fetch in a function which logs every single fetch status and status text for every request. At least for development.

[sterile lantern]

logs still empty

[solemn latch]

👀 is it not even reaching fetch?

[sterile lantern]

might be that

altho i dont see why it would

let me try putting it inside the cmd block instead of the interaction

still nothing

its not even recognizing the cmd

let me try moving the defer into the cmd block

ok so i think the defer is somehow cancelling the interaction

bc after the defer, nothing prints

nothing works

and cloudfare shows up as canceled

[solemn latch]

👀 I'm not sure how to help with that.

[solemn latch]

Are you possibly running out of cpu time?
if you're on the free teir you get 10ms of cpu time before it cancels.
it also has 15 seconds of real time per request right?

[sterile lantern]

yeah im on the free tier

but does deferring not work with cf workers then?

[solemn latch]

You can defer, as long as you follow up within those 15 seconds(and dont run out of cpu time)

[sterile lantern]

well i defer and then instantly respond

so thats weird

[solemn latch]

Why are you defering if you instantly respond?

[sterile lantern]

to just test it

its meant for a larger command

[solemn latch]

fair

[sterile lantern]

(scanning all guild members)

idek if i can do that now

[solemn latch]

ah, thatll probably take longer than 15 seconds right?

[sterile lantern]

yeah

10k+ members

[solemn latch]

You can store the relevant info in KV

You'll probably want to use an actual server for handling that specific command tbh.

even if its defered by a cf worker, then handled on server.

[sterile lantern]

oof i wanted 2 do this for free

no other way to do this?

might just go manual way and keep the users stored in a database

and update it as we go along

wait

cpu time is 30 seconds

nvm looking at diff plan

[solemn latch]

a 30 second cpu time per request would be wild for free

Imagine

[spark flint]

i think thats $5/month for 30s

30 million CPU milliseconds included per month
+$0.02 per additional million CPU milliseconds

Max of 30 seconds of CPU time per invocation
Max of 15 minutes of CPU time per Cron Trigger or Queue Consumer invocation

[solemn latch]

yeah, but then it uses up your duration pricing

[spark flint]

yeah

[solemn latch]

workers are the best priced, but somehow the most expensive thing ever.

$5 and you get 8 hours of cpu time

meanwhile you can get hundreds of hours of cpu time a month for $3

but somehow cf workers still feel cheap

[sterile lantern]

wait theres no possible way to fetch members of a specific role right

unfortunate that role obj doesnt contain a member list

😔

[solemn latch]

Sadly not

In order to keep an updated database of users with a specific role you'd need to use the gateway I think.

[sterile lantern]

time to manually add all of these users into a database and add/remove when necessary

how fun

[stiff dust]

BUMP

[little meadow]

hey guys i need a template nodejs for my discord bot djs v13, if someone vote my bot, it will send to my channel/their dms to thank them

nvm i read the docs

[copper cradle]

Little something I made https://github.com/zSnails/NeoNeedsKey

[edgy tendon]

what module am i suppose to use for the api with python.

[radiant kraken]

ads smh

[green kestrel]

if you ever have need for an anti DDOS tunnel, do NOT use x4b.

if you have unused credit in your account, they will never ever let you transfer it back to your card or paypal.

so its a case of "fine, you want to be a dick, i'll raise a disupute, not like i plan to continue using your service anyway"

[surreal sage]

are there any npm packages that cache a value for some time unless fetched before expiry?

like memory optimization caching

i want to store mongoose models in it

ima just write my own ig

[green kestrel]

i got my refund

they are NOT happy

lol

they basically called me a fraud

so i complained to paypal, i wont be taken for a mug

[tulip ledge]

I use a library called expirymap

[surreal sage]

hmmmmm

[digital swan]

or you could add a row to a database table for every message tracking the date and user id

count rows in last x days for giving roles and can delete older rows periodically

[sharp geyser]

Well you can use redis if you really want to

[surreal sage]

oh oh more configuration oh lord

[sharp geyser]

I said if you wanted to

[surreal sage]

ohhhh im gonna dieee

[sharp geyser]

That’s just one of the many options

You could also just use a map

Also Id say it’d be pretty fun to make your own implementation of a map that has expiry entries

So why use a lib

Unless you just want to get it over with

[sharp geyser]

That lib is dependency hell

It’s lib requires another lib that also requires another lib that also requires another lib

[surreal sage]

is it smart for companies that use mongodb to actually give the _id of a document to the user

e.g. an order's document

cuzz

[solemn latch]

Id contains nothing harmful afaik

[lyric mountain]

even if it did it's hashed anyway

[spark flint]

ID just resolves to date

thats it really

The 12-byte ObjectId consists of: A 4-byte timestamp, representing the ObjectId's creation, measured in seconds since the Unix epoch. A 5-byte random value generated once per process. This random value is unique to the machine and process.

[lyric mountain]

oh, so not a hash

[pale vessel]

the eval was so fast it didn't even need to put the time it took to evaluate

[quartz kindle]

fool of a took

[spark flint]

i just don't handle under 1s evals

(forgot)

[surreal sage]

win + r
cmd
node

[spark flint]

lazy

👍

bot eval easy for stuff like this

[surreal sage]

i think the time navigating to that channel takes longer than opening node

oh yeah

mb

you can just windows button

type node

enter

and do stuff there

[spark flint]

lol

[wheat mesa]

Why do that when I can run something with my bot that’s on a version of node from 2.5 years ago? I want the legacy experience

[copper cradle]

shush

[pale vessel]

or if im already in browser, f12 and evaluate away

its great for simple js evals

[surreal sage]

yessir

[delicate vine]

Hello everyone . I'm looking for a coder for a bot project. Preferably French

[deft wolf]

I doubt you can find anyone on this channel. There is a certain group of people active here and 99% of them will not be willing to "work" with you

[surreal sage]

especially because of the french part

[eternal osprey]

heyy, this is more of a theoretical question. Is it possible to convert a non-deterministic turing machine to a deterministic one using a powerset construction?

@lyric mountain did you ever use textures in opengl? I'm trying to do a batch renderer but I can't seem to figure out why my texture is rendering as a black square

[sacred python]

How can I create buttons that still work after a restart with discord.py?

[lyric mountain]

didn't reach that part when I was writing my graphics2d wrapper

how did u load it?

[solemn latch]

I'm excited that I know what batch rendering is.

[wheat mesa]

It worked for a while so I know it's not my loading

[lyric mountain]

dump button states to database, load on restart

[wheat mesa]

It broke after I added a "white square" dummy texture to use for plain color rendering

[lyric mountain]

for example, if it's a role button, save the message ID to database and whatever else you need to re-create it

[wheat mesa]

It works for colors so I'm really confused on why it doesn't work with proper textures

I'm going to clean up the code rq and see if I can figure it out

[smoky copper]

/buy

[sacred python]

is there no other way?

[lyric mountain]

no

"still work after restart" will always require using a database of some sort

[sacred python]

ok thanks

[wheat mesa]

I hate this

turns out my texture was being loaded wrong

I was loading it as GL_RGBA8 when it wanted GL_RGB

any large library that involves C++ he likely has his hands in it

[radiant kraken]

He's not

why are y'all still talking about him smh

[lyric mountain]

I mean, he's a legend like tim

[sterile lantern]

rn i use slash cmd attachment option. if someone were to submit a video instead of a picture, how would i differentiate between them?

when someone tries a video it just uploads an img bc its being forced as an image

[lyric mountain]

Your best bet is reading the first 4 (?) bytes of the file

Most if not all formats use magic bytes, which is unique for each format

[sterile lantern]

actually

i could probs just use content type

[lyric mountain]

Content type can be spoofed easily

[sterile lantern]

wdym

well in theory

[lyric mountain]

You can write whatever you want on the headers

[sterile lantern]

if they tried to make a photo a video, wouldnt it still upload it as a photo

[lyric mountain]

Kinda, but you can intercept and modify the headers sent to the server

[sterile lantern]

who?? the user or me?

[lyric mountain]

The user

[sterile lantern]

via a slash command?

[lyric mountain]

Ah you mean through discord, thought you were doing for a sitr

[sterile lantern]

no haha

[lyric mountain]

In that case it's even easier

[sterile lantern]

using cf workers :')

[lyric mountain]

Just rename the extension

[sterile lantern]

wdym

users can either submit photo or video

rn its just forced as img

[lyric mountain]

Discord trusts the extension too much

[sterile lantern]

wait

so if i forced imgs

as videos

they would still upload as images right

[lyric mountain]

Rename png to mp4 and send it

[sterile lantern]

lol ok

[lyric mountain]

Would be an invalid video yeah, but discord would allow

Just read the first few bytes in the file, you can identify the format right away

[sterile lantern]

if someone uploaded .mov and i forced to mp4, still a vid right

or .webm

[lyric mountain]

Yeah, kinda

Whatever codec you use will be angry, but they usually ignore the extension and read the magic bytes as a fallback

[frozen ridge]

[quartz kindle]

what do you guys think about nginx now?

main dev split from them and created his own fork "freenginx"

[spark flint]

[lyric mountain]

wasn't nginx open source already?

[pale vessel]

yeah but look at mysql and mariadb

[quartz kindle]

apparently the company behind nginx made some decisions without discussing with the dev team first

and some devs didnt like it

[radiant kraken]

nice

[vernal vector]

i need ur help

( sorry for the ping )

[deft wolf]

You are the chosen one Null

[vernal vector]

Uh ?

[civic scroll]

what do you need?

[vernal vector]

To do a command system

I want to make a python discord bot with a cog command that requires voting in top.gg.

[civic scroll]

ah

[civic scroll]

time to note down what you wanted the bot to do as well as how to approach it from logic side

(don't think about implementation, just idea - "as a discord bot, how can i do {...}")

[vernal vector]

wow I hadn't thought of that thank you very much ^^

[civic scroll]

[ionic schooner]

Who has experience with elasticsearch? if so what are your thoughts on it, and if you don't like it what are some other free self-hosted options

[eternal osprey]

hey guys

is there anyone out here that has used hadoop before?

how can we know how much mappers/reducer instances are being used for a map/reduce action?

Imagine i had a folder with 10 txt files across various datanodes within a cluster, and i wanted to like get one file that contains each word and their occurence.

[eternal osprey]

if anyone could explain this, i would be trhilled.

[lament rock]

if the function takes a callback, just increment a number in the callback

[eternal osprey]

are you talking to me?

i cant lie this might be the best class i have had so far, about dockers and hadoop an allat

finally something pratical instead of theoretical like turing machines

[lament rock]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

fucking hell

authy decided to shutdown its desktop authenticator app

what a pain

[pale vessel]

yeah i got an email about that too

[green kestrel]

so, we went bowling after work because one of the guys was leaving. turns out when developers go bowling, we spend all our time abusing and finding xss exploits in the bowling management system lol

poor lane attendants had no clue wtf was happening lol

[green kestrel]

I lost at the actual bowling

but won at disrupting the system lol

I was the big lol

[deft wolf]

This is probably the longest "hello" I've ever seen on this channel

hollywood bowl right?

me and my coworkers found the same thing haha

but you cant do much with it

looks like minimal html rendering so no script tags

would be considered very low severity

[sterile lantern]

        formData.append("payload_json", JSON.stringify({content: message, allowed_mentions: {"roles": ["roleid1", "roleid2"]}, avatar_url: <url here>, components}));

im trying to make a webhook ping two roles, but its not pinging any roles at all - any idea?

does the bot need permissions to ping roles in order for its webhook to ping roles?

i tried allowed_mentions: { "parse": ["roles"] } as well

[eternal osprey]

TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Failed to read the 'headers' property from 'RequestInit': String contains non ISO-8859-1 code point

fetch("http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/completed", {
                method: "POST",

                },
                body: JSON.stringify({ email: "data" }),
            })```

i am unsure what this error even means

i mean it had to do with my headers, but it seems perfectly fine?

[lament rock]

try omitting allowed_mentions unless the content you're posting is unknown

[lament rock]

Pretty sure Headers have to start with Capital letters

On top of that, ISO-8859-1 refers to latin1 character encoding

So if it's non latin1, you should fix that

[exotic ivy]

Can a competent dev take topgg over please and fix it finally so it'd work for more than just a few hours at a time, this is just unimaginable to always hear it's impossible to be fixed

[lament rock]

If you think you can do better, make a competitor

competition is healthy

[real rose]

ok this is pretty funny

Lowkey wish it worked

[pale vessel]

webhook uses the everyone role

[sterile lantern]

so if the bot itself has perms it can ping right

the webhook was created by the bot

[pale vessel]

nope

[sterile lantern]

bruh so in order for it to ping roles, @ everyone has to be able to ping roles???

I thought webhooks could always ping

[pale vessel]

yes, i believe so

webhooks are disconnected from the bot

[sterile lantern]

this can be channel based right

like if i allowed the @ everyone role to ping in that specific channel

[pale vessel]

yeah

[sterile lantern]

it seems like it uses bot permissions actually

[green kestrel]

yes lol

[green kestrel]

really? certain things we were doing were doing weird stuff, see how it had 'the lane is broken' up above? 😄

[lament rock]

The checking bot permissions is only for POST /channels/:channel_id/messages
Like Flaze said, webhooks are detached from the bot since you can use a webhook url on other services other than Discord and giving webhooks the same channel perms as the author isn't a good idea.
allowed_mentions also doesn't alter permissions like if the permission is denied on <@&guild_id> then it won't make a difference if it's present or not, just if the message would notify users, check if it should push those notifications

[pale vessel]

one can't be pinged (it's just a role) and the other could if allowed

[lament rock]

It's just the chat identity that's different

<@&guild_id> resolves to at at everyone

It's what you edit for permissions as well on an API level for the everyone role

but typing two ats is cringe so at everyone is just shorthand

strange that at everyone "works" in DMs

[pale vessel]

it's probably meant for group DMs

[eternal osprey]

how can i know if i have latin1 character encoding? Also, so Sessionkey and Cart should be in the headers contrary to their lowercase ones?

[green kestrel]

discord only supports utf8

so whatever you're doing in whatever charset remember to convert it

when you display it

[radiant kraken]

utf-8 my beloved

probably the only sane encoding

[green kestrel]

it's all about utf-32 /s

utf8 ftw

[austere linden]

yo guys,
wanna ask by which time zone this website decides thats its a weekend or not ?

[green kestrel]

utc

[warm surge]

it been answer in general

[green kestrel]

damn cross posts

[warm surge]

yup

[radiant kraken]

nah utf-21 :^)

[green kestrel]

ah yes the sensible standard

[radiant kraken]

why waste the 11 bits

[green kestrel]

for use on 21 bit systems

[radiant kraken]

yes

[green kestrel]

sounds like the sort of data structures dpp has lol

[radiant kraken]

wdym

[green kestrel]

we bit pack stuff to save memory

like the 40 or so booleans in stuff like users and guilds

[wheat mesa]

C++ devs when they find out a boolean uses an entire byte (7 bits wasted, cannot let this happen)

[green kestrel]

and integers that can only hold a value up to 15 etc

[wheat mesa]

Must use bitsets instead!

[green kestrel]

indeed

we bit pack booleans into sets of 32 or 64

[wheat mesa]

Bitsets are a wonderful thing

[green kestrel]

and bit pack very small ints into 32 or 16 bit ints

2, 4, 6 or 7 bit ints

[wheat mesa]

I haven’t ever looked at the internal implementation, do they occupy the same number of bytes as using bitwise operators over an integer would occupy? (Assuming that you set the size to be 32)

[radiant kraken]

ayooo sameee

i use it in my library too

[wheat mesa]

I’m assuming it’s a thin wrapper over bitwise operations so you don’t have to use your brain too hard for it

[green kestrel]

yesnt

[wheat mesa]

I need to use bitsets for signatures in my ECS when I start developing it that’s why I’m wondering

[green kestrel]

we just use bitwise operators internally

[wheat mesa]

I meant the stdlib bitset

[green kestrel]

but to the user we represent it via a set of methods that return or take bools

nah we don't use std::bitset

[radiant kraken]

heavily underrated tbh

[green kestrel]

bit fields aren't complicated enough in my mind to need an abstraction

[wheat mesa]

You’d be surprised the amount of kids in my CS classes that think booleans occupy 1 bit

[green kestrel]

it's just |, &, ^ and ~

[wheat mesa]

Stdlib bitset is convenient when you need to specify a maximum size

[radiant kraken]

the world if booleans occupy 1 bit

[green kestrel]

they "do", just with 8 bits of alignment

[wheat mesa]

Instead of having to manage multiple 64-bit numbers with bitwise operations

[radiant kraken]

fuck alignment

[green kestrel]

00000001
----------^
the boolean

[radiant kraken]

make an operating system where there is no alignment

:^)

[wheat mesa]

It’s even funnier when kids stuff an extra boolean into a struct and think that it’ll only increase the size by 1 byte

[lyric mountain]

Chaotic neutral system

[wheat mesa]

inb4 word alignment

[wheat mesa]

alignment exists for a reason

[green kestrel]

and depending it may take 64 bits!!!

imagine 8 bytes used for your boolean

because of alignment

[wheat mesa]

Yup

[green kestrel]

you can use pragma no pack and introduce a whole world of performance hurt

or pack stuff by hand

[wheat mesa]

One 8 byte number + 1 boolean = 16 byte struct for x64

Crazy how I’m gonna actually need to think about this sort of stuff soon 😭

Game engines are fun

[radiant kraken]

nice

which part of it is fun?

is it the math/physics

[wheat mesa]

The optimization

And the architecture

[radiant kraken]

oh lmao

[wheat mesa]

You can implement something super naive if you want but overall you have to think differently to get it to be more efficient

[green kestrel]

these optimisations are why I love c++ and developing dpp and why I don't use js

[wheat mesa]

I think that if I can implement a really nice entity component system I’ll be set for making the game I want to make

[radiant kraken]

:^)

[green kestrel]

these days my optimizations be nuts

[wheat mesa]

Biggest issue at the moment is figuring out how to actually design an ECS

[green kestrel]

it's essentially fixed at around 60mb

[radiant kraken]

nice

[green kestrel]

ecs aren't the hotness now

[wheat mesa]

Damn, that’s about 3x as much ram as my engine eats right now

Granted all I have is a renderer

[green kestrel]

they hurt cpu cache

[wheat mesa]

ECS is better for cpu cache

[green kestrel]

depends

[radiant kraken]

imagine how much ram it occupies if it was coded in djs

[wheat mesa]

Storing everything in contiguous arrays is wonderful for caching

[green kestrel]

you need a good block allocator to go with it that keeps the entities allocated in order in a block near the components

[wheat mesa]

Entities are merely a thin wrapper over an ID

My biggest issue is that I don’t think I really want “systems”, but I don’t know how else to handle communication between components

I suppose I could just update every component in each componentarray and attach the entity they’re updating for to the update function

That sounds really slow though

Idk

If anyone has pointers on where to find resources for making an ECS without systems please lmk

[eternal osprey]

hey guys, i made a UDP parser for my raw socket to basically mimic wireshark. I wanted some clarification if what i was doing is correct. So basically the full segment is all the data including the header which is a 64 bit, so 4 byte header. The data itself is 4 bytes as well. If we want to unpack the header, we get the full data segment and parse it into 4 equal sized segments, then we unpack the structures and format them correctly using encoding !HHHH as they are unsigned shorts. Once that's done, we can just get the rest of the data starting from indice 8, and that's basically how the packages work right? But does that mean that if a packet goes through the network pool each intermediate router must unpack and check the header for the source and destination ports? Isn't it really time consuming or do they use a different way of unpacking

someone has to end my suffering please

[green kestrel]

yes

each hop in the route analyses the header of an IP packet and may rewrite the destination IP if it's doing NAT

if it alters the packet it must recalc the checksum

ip stacks don't examine the packet payload it's treated as opaque data only

so 99.9% of the time they don't change the packet to route it but must be able to parse the header to know where to route the packet

[eternal osprey]

i see!

That's really interesting can't lie

isn't there a faster method then instead of parsing the header etc?

wait no that's dumb. I think that with this header there can't really be a faster way?

[green kestrel]

there is but you can't do it

modern network cards have hardware acceleration for parsing and routing TCP/IP and UDP packets

but at the user level you don't have access to that, would have to be a kernel module or network card driver

I've written a TCP stack before which kinda half works and I didn't use any hardware acceleration

it's in C, what are you using?

[eternal osprey]

i see. I didnt know all that.

[eternal osprey]

I've written it in python as i wanted to create the parser pretty quickly without lots of bumps along the road.

I might use java in the end though if that's possible

[green kestrel]

anything is possible

[wheat mesa]

speed and python don't go together very well :c

[green kestrel]

bigger q is, is it practical

[eternal osprey]

would a tcp parser be more different compared to a udp one?

[green kestrel]

yes TCP is far more complex

[eternal osprey]

I guess the header is the same but tcp has no data limit right?

[green kestrel]

udp is just fire and forget

source port dest port hope it gets to you glhf

[eternal osprey]

yeah exactly

[green kestrel]

TCP operates on a sliding window system to handle throttling, back off and retries

a bit like zlib

[eternal osprey]

i see, ofc you need way more error handling and basically need to retry sending if it fails. But the parser itself, would still have to unpack 8 bytes for the header but what about the data? Would that be any sized data?

like, in udp you are restrited to 8 bytes of actual data within the package

[green kestrel]

yes up to the max IP packet size

[eternal osprey]

but iirc tcp has a no-limit protocol in data

[eternal osprey]

i see

[green kestrel]

64400+ someghing

[eternal osprey]

bits?

or bytes

[green kestrel]

bytes

[eternal osprey]

damn that's a big packet

[green kestrel]

but most network cards don't allow that

[radiant kraken]

i'm sure he just wanted to get things done quickly first

[green kestrel]

it's basically the same as the MTU

couple of kb

or you have to deal with IP fragmentation

which is ew

[eternal osprey]

i see that's pretty interesting.

i might move over to tcp just to see how it is.

[green kestrel]

"enjoy"

[eternal osprey]

yeah, i didn't want to deal with huge loads of documentation and slow starting. This is usually the case with java in my experience. Python however is easy to start with.

[green kestrel]

it's like being kicked in the teeth by a horse

[eternal osprey]

😭

nah i got this (i think)

i find it fun

[green kestrel]

it's like someone made a sane standard and over time people shoehorned shit on top until it's a mess

like http basically

that didn't happen to udp

[eternal osprey]

whahahah damn i hope i can still manage to do it

btw

while we are at it with the questions and the life lessons

i had a question about assigning ports

i read through the documents of ietf and found this part:
o The Well-Known Ports, 0 through 1023.

o The Registered Ports, 1024 through 49151

o The Dynamic and/or Private Ports, 49152 through 65535

what do they refer to with well known, registered, etc etc? Also, when i am in development process i sometimes assingn port 4000 or 5000 to a localhost process. I assume that's private right? Why does it work while it does not fall inbetween the given ranges here or do these ports above stand for a different usecase?

[sterile lantern]

i just gave the bot perms to ping in that channel and it worked

[lyric mountain]

Http for example

Basically standardized ports

Which are immutable and unusable for anything else

/reload folder:misc command:about

[sterile lantern]

your path should probably be \commands\misc\about.js

in your code you do /commands/${foldername} ...

[sterile lantern]

change the / to a \

[hidden gorge]

i did and it crashes

[hidden gorge]

for all?

[sterile lantern]

yes

``` const newCommand = require(./commands/${folderName}/${command.data.name}.js);

this line

change the / to \

[hidden gorge]

ok ima try it

Error executing command: Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\FRC 7722\Desktop\Projects\Bots\RoSearchBot\commands\developer/commands/misc/about.js'

at Object.execute (C:\Users\FRC 7722\Desktop\Projects\Bots\RoSearchBot\commands\developer\reload.js:25:42)

[sterile lantern]

why is it doing \commands\developer/commands/misc

[hidden gorge]

idk

[sterile lantern]

your paths are messing up

hm

that happened after you changed it to a \ right

[hidden gorge]

its erroring at:

            const resolvedPath = require.resolve(`${__dirname}/commands/${folderName}/${command.data.name}.js`);

[hidden gorge]

no

its always happened

[sterile lantern]

the two errors are different

oh

nevermind

[hidden gorge]

WAIT

[sterile lantern]

youre forgetting to go outside

of the folder

[hidden gorge]

ITS TRYING TO FIND THE COMMAND IN THE FOLDER IT WAS RAN IT

[sterile lantern]

..

yeah

[hidden gorge]

the command runs but it doesnt show any of the changes made

[sterile lantern]

global commands can take up to 1 hour to propagate

[hidden gorge]

ooooh

[sterile lantern]

guild specific commands on the other hand update instantly, so you could use those if your bot is only in one guild

[hidden gorge]

i found out how to make itwork

[sterile lantern]

interesting, what'd you do

[wheat mesa]

This but usually they don’t take very long at all tbh

[eternal osprey]

  let data = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("data"))     
    let cookie = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('key'))
    console.log(cookie)
    console.log(data)
  fetch("http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/completed", {
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json",
                    sessionKey: JSON.stringify(cookie),
                    cart: JSON.stringify(data), // Converting cart to a string
                },
                body: JSON.stringify({ email: "data" }),
            })```

hey guys why is this error occuring here?

In all my other fetch operations this error does not happen, while i use the exact sme method (though i don't retrieve data from the localStorage.

[wheat mesa]

Are you sure there isn’t like some sort of weird Cyrillic letter in that string or something

[eternal osprey]

it might

i might consider not encrypting the email

[sterile lantern]

is there a reason why some of my button interactions fail but some of them work?? even if they fail, they still run through the entire cmd (just dont give the response) so im a bit confused

ik we should be replying within 3 seconds, which im pretty sure it does, but idk why its failing

it happens randomly

same with some commands

[deft wolf]

Sometimes the bot may take a little longer to execute the code, sometimes it's the code, sometimes the hosting

[sterile lantern]

its using cf workers

if i were using gateway i would just defer

but i cant even defer with cf workers which sucks

[lament rock]

You can defer immediately within the worker and then edit the original interaction response later on

the HTTP response from the worker should be the defer

then you can use rest to edit

alternatively, you can "load balance" interactions by receiving over the gateway, but if Discord asks you to reconnect, then the interactions might expire

depends on how fast you can reconnect and resume

[sterile lantern]

but how would it work on cf workers

i tried deferring

and it is stuck on thinking

and doesnt respond

even tho i do the post request and reply to the original interaction

[lament rock]

Dont followup or use the reply to interaction endpoint. You have to edit the original interaction response after deferring

[sterile lantern]

oh

i was following up

ill try that, thanks

[lament rock]

You also need to wait for the http response to be sent before you can PATCH the interaction response

[sterile lantern]

so basically defer immediately, then patch?

[lament rock]

Yea

[sterile lantern]

will try that

[sterile lantern]

actually, how would i even do this? right now i return the response for the cf worker stuff, but if i returned a defer reply it wouldnt execute the code below it

response1 is the reply

[ionic schooner]

Does anyone have any suggestions for SMTP services?

[lament rock]

setImmediate and call a function in the callback before the return new Response

[sterile lantern]

hmm

would

try { return the deferred response } finally { do the actual stuff } work as well

[sterile lantern]

(setimmediate isnt supported)

it does defer, but it doesnt execute the setTimeout

[spark flint]

https://postmarkapp.com/ or https://mailersend.com/

i use both, i love them

postmark has amazing support

so does mailersend

[ionic schooner]

thanks! much appreciated

[spark flint]

no worries 🔥

easier to setup and use compared to sendgrid

(and cheaper)

[ionic schooner]

I should be good with the free tier, since I'm really only using this for login and such

using mailersend that is since SMS, not sure if I'll have a use for SMS but we shall see

[spark flint]

fairs

[soft gazelle]

Is there a code for punishments, promote, demote and terminate like

Username: {username}
Rank: {rank}
Punishment: {punishment}
Reason: {reason}

?

[wheat mesa]

Yeah that's not how this works

You're gonna need to start by learning a programming language

While I would normally recommend something like Java, if you only intend to program as a hobby/for discord bots and not as a profession, you can start off with javascript

Developing a system like that is going to require a relatively large amount of knowledge and there is no 20 line script that does it all for you

[soft gazelle]

Okay, so is there a video? Or is the a format I can copy and paste it?

[wheat mesa]

For what you want specifically? No, there is no video. There is no copy paste. You have to learn how to develop something like that by learning how a programming language works

[craggy pine]

https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript Taking what Waffle said, there are plenty of websites to get you started on Javascript. Take this one for example. I used it when I was first getting going with these things.

[wheat mesa]

Here's another one that I just googled real quick, seems good and interactive: https://learnjavascript.online/app.html

This is not a quick process, so if you're just looking for a custom bot for your server, you're probably just going to want to hire a developer or find a friend that happens to know how to code

However if you intend on learning a programming language, feel free to ask for help here and in other programming related servers

[soft gazelle]

Thanks

[sharp geyser]

What if I want to learn Java

[wheat mesa]

oracle docs

[sharp geyser]

Yikes

[radiant kraken]

Java is fun

it's basically JavaScript just slightly different

should be easy if you come from a JS background

[wheat mesa]

@sharp geyser did u give up on learning C++

you should do opengl

🧌

Here's a method I just wrote

    std::vector<std::tuple<glm::vec2, glm::vec2, const unsigned char *>> Pack();

now THAT is cursed

[radiant kraken]

@wheat mesa you should do OpenSSL

[wheat mesa]

beyond belief

[radiant kraken]

🧌

write an entire discord bot with just openssl calls

[wheat mesa]

The return type is unreadable but so is the actual function

std::vector<std::tuple<glm::vec2, glm::vec2, const unsigned char *>> TextureAtlas::Pack() {
    // ((x, y), (w, h), data)
    std::vector<std::tuple<glm::vec2, glm::vec2, const unsigned char *>> returnValue;
    stbrp_context ctx;
    auto *nodes = new stbrp_node[m_Width];
    stbrp_init_target(&ctx, m_Width, m_Height, nodes, m_Width);
    auto *rects = new stbrp_rect[m_Textures.size()];
    for (int i = 0; i < m_Textures.size(); i++) {
        const auto &entry = m_Textures[i];
        rects[i] = stbrp_rect{entry.id, entry.texture.Width(), entry.texture.Height(), 0, 0, false};
    }
    stbrp_pack_rects(&ctx, rects, m_Textures.size());
    delete[] nodes;
    int notPacked = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < m_Textures.size(); i++) {
        const auto &entry = rects[i];
        // Guaranteed to exist
        const auto &texture = m_Textures[entry.id];
        if (!entry.was_packed) {
            notPacked++;
        } else {
            returnValue.emplace_back(glm::vec2(entry.x, entry.y), glm::vec2(entry.w, entry.h), texture.texture.Data());
            m_IdToUV[entry.id] = {{entry.x / static_cast<float>(m_Width), entry.y / static_cast<float>(m_Height)},
                                  {entry.w / static_cast<float>(m_Width), entry.h /
                                                                          static_cast<float>(m_Height)}}; // (x, y), (w, h)
        }
    }
    delete[] rects;

    if (notPacked > 0) {
        std::cout << "[WARNING]: " << notPacked << " textures could not fit in texture atlas!";
    }

    return returnValue;
}

and holy shit

it ACTUALLY WORKS

FIRST TRY

[radiant kraken]

looks pretty readable to me

i have seen worse C++ code

[wheat mesa]

I think I'm leaking memory in there somewhere but I do not give a fuck right now

[radiant kraken]

with less lines

[wheat mesa]

i am genuinely impressed with myself

managed to do all of that with just 50 firefox tabs of obscure opengl documentation and a 2am flow state

[lament rock]

I thought I understood Quaternions, but I had to double check with ChatGPT and now I think I get it. The w component was really confusing as I'm more used to Euler angles and 360° representations, but I guess the w component just helps with performance somehow and makes interpolation between rotations smoother

[wheat mesa]

Quaternions are scary man

Good thing I’m only doing 2d!

[lament rock]

Now I got it down actually. That's really confusing to understand

Well I mean it makes sense now that I was able to correctly feed it a scenario and tell me if I was right

but at that point, I just don't understand what use case it has outside of animation

[radiant kraken]

thats still a lot

[wheat mesa]

(The “just” part was a joke)

[sharp geyser]

It’s not that I gave up more like lost motivation

I’m just not certain on what to do anymore, I’d love to continue learning the language but quite honestly I’ve lost the love I had for programming largely due to discord bots and doing them for 3 years

I also never learned properly so my knowledge was very limited in the languages I did learn. I’m also just not as smart as everyone else I see pursuing it and it honestly bums me out

[radiant kraken]

dw i'm not smart too

i still harbor some impostor syndrome around my friends

[civic sundial]

Can someone tell me about this

Error: Not enough sessions remaining to spawn 1 shards; only 0 remaining; resets at 2024-02-18T1515.578Z"

[pale vessel]

i am stupid and i am happy

[civic sundial]

@wheat mesa

[civic sundial]

isn't it good ?

"Happy"

[civic sundial]

@solemn latch

[solemn latch]

dont ping random people for development questions

If someone knows they will answer.

[civic sundial]

i ping 2 they are developers

unless you are not ?

[solemn latch]

I am, but I cant help you right now.

[civic sundial]

O.o

Okie

Np

[spark flint]

you have been ratelimited by Discord for disconnecting and reconnecting too often, you have to wait until that time has expired

[civic sundial]

nodemon on top lol

btw thanks

[civic scroll]

you should throttle it

restarting on every single file change won't be good

[deft wolf]

Especially if you often make small typos like me

[civic scroll]

maybe consider code a watchdog for your bot, but for the command files
so that when said file changes, your bot can just re-import said modules

without having itself restarting

[civic scroll]

so real 😔

me when silly syntax error

[civic sundial]

Ohh

[civic scroll]

saves the full restart for when you change the core mechanics of the bot itself

reminded me that i wanted to make an interactive shell of the bot back in the day
so i can issue hot reload right there without stopping the bot from running

i was too lazy 😔

[civic sundial]

same i'm

[past field]

can i have some help pls 😅 trying to make a bot.. i typed in npm i in the terminal and it says it can’t find the “package.json” file

[solemn latch]

did you npm init the folder you're working in?

[past field]

no, i thought since the file was already in there it would load it up! sorry I’m new to this

[solemn latch]

package.json is?

[past field]

yes, I’m following a video that Mac created on youtube on building a bot

[sterile lantern]

how do i go about implementing context.waitUntil for deferring replies and stuff (cf workers)

[sterile lantern]

you need to cd into your project

[solemn latch]

^
The terminal is in a different folder

[past field]

how do i do this?

[sterile lantern]

cd <path to your project>

[past field]

in the terminal?

[sterile lantern]

yes

[past field]

in which file?

thank you so much for your help!

[sterile lantern]

what do you mean?

you need to type the command into your terminal

[past field]

really sorry if i’m asking stupid questions lol i’m new to this

[sterile lantern]

no worries

[past field]

so it doesn’t matter which one of the files on the left is selected?

[sterile lantern]

based on this picture, your path is donm0/Da-High-Roller-Bot

so the command would be cd donm0/Da-High-Roller-Bot

nope

you need to type this into your terminal

nothing to do w files

[past field]

ok thank you i’ll try this

hm

[sterile lantern]

im not sure where your project is located so you need to find the path to it

[past field]

i have it connected to github! is that what you mean?

[sterile lantern]

no, i mean the location of your repo on your laptop

where is the folder located on your laptop?

[past field]

ok let me see if i can figure that out

i don’t remember making a folder, let me see if i can find one

i must have skipped that step lol

[sterile lantern]

you mightve ran a command to clone a repo which would automatically create a folder

open your files and try to look for the folder

[solemn latch]

right click on any file in the explorer it should say "reveal in (something)" your file explorer or whatever its called in mac terms.

[past field]

is there a way for me to download this onto my desktop and create that folder so i can have a path?

for some reason i’m not seeing a folder 😭

[solemn latch]

is it not already downloaded?
it looks like you've been modifying local files

[past field]

that might be why

[solemn latch]

The M next to config.json means modified

[past field]

i created a fork in github of this, i thought that was me making my own copy

[solemn latch]

did this not open a local folder? 👀

[past field]

@solemn latch

[solemn latch]

👀 so weird, I wonder how you got here

[past field]

i was following the video mac posted on youtube lol, should i just start over from the beginning?

or is there a way to fix it here

[solemn latch]
