[wheat mesa]

Yes

[sharp geyser]

I guess that makes sense

[deft wolf]

Unfortunately, you can't set it. This feature simply doesn't work right now

[unborn panther]

Top.gg is awesome

[deft wolf]

It's such a toxic love. You seem to hate this site but you use it anyway

[unborn panther]

you're right

[real rose]

welcome to the average topgg user

[copper cradle]

no-

malloc returns a void* and you cast that void* to the struct

[warm surge]

lmao

[sharp geyser]

Yea I know

[surreal sage]

im trying to prebuild in gh codespaces buttt

it errored on those 2 last lines

and doesnt seem to do anything else (so i canceled)

cant even share github links...

ari-party/sct-module-astronomical-object/actions #3

[real rose]

thanks for spamming it 1 million times

[surreal sage]

🙂

[solemn latch]

👀 we do need to work on our regex's a bit

[surreal sage]

google are you stupid

[sharp geyser]

?

[deft wolf]

It's probably because he chose the Netherlands and the error mentions Ireland

[real rose]

Yooo

[tulip ledge]

Did they remove embed colors on mobile?

[deft wolf]

No

It's a bug

[tulip ledge]

👍

[green kestrel]

nice, why do i always forget we can do this on desktop

it makes <pre> look so damn pretty

i had gotten in the habit of not used it, because it would look a mess on mobile... but it looks like they 'kludged' that, so it just displays as plain white on mobile now without the ansi mess in it

which means its safe to use 😄

[harsh nova]

still no clue how they dont support syntax highlighting on mobile

[harsh nova]

as real as it gets

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[green kestrel]

probably cpu cost

highlightjs isnt the most efficient of libs

it runs the text through thousands of expensive regexes

you could probably kill someones device like some sort of denial of service attack by sending a message with ten embeds full of complex ansi escapes or something

if its a crappy old motorola or something

[lyric mountain]

ok, just subscribed to gpt cuz I wanted to see if I could use some generated images for my card game, and I gotta admit

it's really good for that

especially for anime-like images

[green kestrel]

youll have to let me know how that works out for you, im doing the same but using midjourney

and midjourney makes some awesome stuff!

[surreal sage]

bro

i am going fucking crazy

i have a template string, where im substituting something

when i substitute it, for some reason the value stops before a $ character

but when I don't replace and just use the value, it works fine

[green kestrel]

like this.... midjourney v6 can even put text onto an image now

[surreal sage]

i don't understand

how does <string>.replace do this

what

what

the replacement is a file's content

[lyric mountain]

sadly it made a mistake with the double T there

Generate a close-up image of a brown leather book in a tavern table with a candle and a teapot. The book must contain the words "Grimoire Utopius" written in a classical font.

[green kestrel]

that's pretty good

midjourney presents four variations and usually some are better than others

extra letters and misspellings are a common thing there too

[sharp geyser]

So what's the big difference between a JSON Web Token (JWT) vs Cookie based authentication?

[quartz kindle]

there are many differences and its mostly a matter of opinions, but for me the biggest difference is with cookies you usually store the session id on some db, with jwt you dont really need to store anything server side

which also makes it possible to invalidate sessions with cookies, but harder to do with jwt

[sharp geyser]

Yea I was seeing JWT's are completely stateless

[quartz kindle]

jwt is usually time based validity, cookie's valitity is mostly "as long as the session exists in the server"

[sharp geyser]

So essentially JWTs are the thing to use if I want to give temporary access

Cookies if I want the access to last the entire session

[quartz kindle]

yeah, like auth tokens than need to be regenerated every once in a while

[sharp geyser]

Is that what discord uses on their oauth2 stuff ?

are they technically just jwt tokens

[quartz kindle]

OAuth 2.0 doesn’t define a specific format for Access Tokens. However, in some contexts, the JSON Web Token (JWT) format is often used. This enables token issuers to include data in the token itself. Also, for security reasons, Access Tokens may have an expiration date.

[sharp geyser]

gotcha

[lament rock]

Discord auth tokens, you could consider JWTs

The first part of the token is the client ID

[sharp geyser]

I always figured they were as they have to be tied to a user somehow and I doubt they do that server side

[lament rock]

Well. They have to for MFA tokens since all of it is random

So a token > user ID relation wouldn't be absurd

[final nymph]

Discord.js version: v14.14.1
Node.js version: v20.11.1

can someone help me?

[solemn latch]

MessageEmbed is now named EmbedBuilder

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v14.html#messageembed

[final nymph]

and this...

I looked on the internet but I didn't understand anything about bitfield or anything

[solemn latch]

If this is a command, I dont think this is how permission checks are handled anymore.

https://discordjs.guide/slash-commands/permissions.html#member-permissions

If you're following a guide or video its pretty outdated.

[final nymph]

Im trying to make a fully ai bot

i think the problem is chat gpt version

[lyric mountain]

If you plan on making it public, don't bother

You'll not be able to sustain the usage

[twilit beacon]

Hello, could anyone clarify a doubt? How do I know that my bot is under analysis? Know if it was actually sent? Where can I see this

[real rose]

-notified :p

[gilded plank]

@twilit beacon

Bot Review Notifications

If your bot is approved:
You'll get a DM from @gilded plank, a ping in #logs and you'll be assigned the <@&265125253443878912> role here.

If your bot is declined:
You'll get a DM from @gilded plank and you'll also get a ping in #mod-logs.

💡 Please make sure you have your DMs activated for this server.

[real rose]

You can check in #logs for your bot and #mod-logs if it was declined

[twilit beacon]

So, I would like to know where I can check that it is under analysis? I sent it just now and just wanted to confirm that it was actually sent for analysis, I can't find anywhere about this feedback

in logs it says it hasn't found it yet

[real rose]

Then it wasn't sent yet

I can only see a bot you submitted in 2023

Nothing recent

[twilit beacon]

I'll send it again, wait a minute

now it was

thanks

[twilit beacon]

The evaluation time is 2 weeks?

Or is it possible to have the evaluation beforehand?

[real rose]

It's a lot shorter right now

[twilit beacon]

How many days more or less?

[warm surge]

Few days

Max

[final nymph]

yeah you're right thanks for the help

[sharp geyser]

Im seriously getting tired of this ownership shit in rust

[wheat mesa]

it exists in rust and C++ and almost any language that isn't garbage collected

😉

rust just enforces it

[sharp geyser]

I knowww

But I can be angry with it in the moment

:C

[radiant kraken]

It's okay, i can always help you

Besides the compiler has one of the sanest error messages

[sharp geyser]

@radiant kraken @wheat mesa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mAITcNt710 time to watch this

im joking i'd never watch it seriously that'd take way too long, but it would be an interesting thing to watch when im going to bed

[radiant kraken]

nice

[sharp geyser]

not nice

its a day long

💀

[radiant kraken]

just watch each chapter per day

[sharp geyser]

fair

tho its a harvard level class so idk if I will understand any ofi t

[radiant kraken]

idk looking from the chapters they look like cs basics

i expected huge brain stuff when i hear harvard

[pale vessel]

yeah u probably already knew all those

except for maybe algos and cybersex

[radiant kraken]

yup

why is emoji a chapter

is that talking about unicode

[pale vessel]

it's talking about decancer (real)

[radiant kraken]

🙀

[pale vessel]

it does seem to include unicode though

although it is weird that this is part of a cs course

it seems out of place

[sharp geyser]

Okay so binary is 0's and 1's
Counting in binary can be done as

4         2           1 = 4 * 0 or 1, 2 * 0 or 1, 1 * 0 or 1. Sum up the results of these multiplications
|         |           |
0         0           1
4 * 0 = 0 | 2 * 0 = 0 1 * 1 (0+0+1 = 1)
0         1           0
4 * 0 = 0 2 * 1 = 2   1 * 0 = 0 (0+2+0) = 2
1         0           0
4 * 1 = 4 2 * 0 = 0   1 * 0 = 0 (4+0+0) = 4
1         0           1
4 * 1 = 4 2 * 0 = 0   1 * 1 = 1 (4+0+1) = 5
1         1           0
4 * 1 = 4 2 * 1 = 2   1 * 0 = 0 (4+2+0) = 6
1         1           1
4 * 1 = 4 2 * 1 = 2   1 * 1 = 1 (4+2+1) = 7

Now with this "system" you can only go up to 7 correct?
Which means if I wanted to go higher than 7 i'd need to add on an extra bit.

8           4           2           1 = 8 * 0 or 1, 4 * 0 or 1, 2 * 0 or 1, 1 * 0 or 1
|           |           |           |
1           0           0           0
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 0 = 0 | 2 * 0 = 0 | 1 * 0 = 0 (8+0+0+0) = 8
1           0           0           1
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 0 = 0 | 2 * 0 = 0 | 1 * 1 = 1 (8+0+0+1) = 9
1           0           1           0
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 0 = 0 | 2 * 1 = 2 | 1 * 0 = 0 (8+0+2+0) = 10
1           0           1           1
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 0 = 0 | 2 * 1 = 2 | 1 * 1 = 1 (8+0+2+1) = 11
1           1           0           0
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 1 = 4 | 2 * 0 = 0 | 1 * 0 = 0 (8+4+0+0) = 12
1           1           0           1
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 1 = 4 | 2 * 0 = 0 | 1 * 1 = 1 (8+4+0+1) = 13
1           1           1           0
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 1 = 4 | 2 * 1 = 2 | 1 * 0 = 0 (8+4+2+0) = 14
1           1           1           1
8 * 1 = 8 | 4 * 1 = 4 | 2 * 1 = 2 | 1 * 1 = 1 (8+4+2+1) = 15

My god my tired brain just made me type something out that wasn't a question

I started typing this at 2am which was 25m ago

[sharp geyser]

Learning how to count in binary has opened the doors to a lot of things.

I could probably write a message in binary if I wanted

[deft wolf]

No setup fee on contabo

[stiff dust]

Hello

how can I create something like this:

[earnest phoenix]

Hello

[quartz kindle]

yup, thats why its so common to see numbers like 255

256 possible combinations from 0 up to 255, after that more bits are required

[little cosmos]

zz

[past field]

ok question

is there a way to get my bot to announce when a server subscriber subscribes to the server? i’m assuming that’s an event listener

[wheat mesa]

Now you can understand how everything at the lowest level is represented with just bits

[twilit beacon]

Can anybody help me? How do I put these commands that appear when clicking on the bot?

[deft wolf]

You can't

It's automatic

[twilit beacon]

I have a bot where the command is /price but it doesn't appear in it

here

[deft wolf]

Yea, it's not verified by Discord

[solemn latch]

Discord decides when to add it.

[twilit beacon]

I understand, the verification is automatic?

[lyric mountain]

no, you'll get a message when you're ready for verification

also be warned that you'll have to fill a fairly technical form for it, so pay attention to your bot development

unable to align div horizontally
im making a pager. <bg> should cover whole screen

[sharp geyser]

So 8 bits = 1 byte
Integer typically is 4 bytes
Which is a 32 bit number which can go from 0-8000+ possible combinations right?

[lyric mountain]

4b combinations

the unsigned integer limit is the actual amount of combinations

[wheat mesa]

The amount of combinations grows expontentially

2^bits - 1

[sharp geyser]

Oh I see

[wheat mesa]

(The -1 is because of signed-ness)

Since you need 1 bit to represent it

Each bit you add multiplies the number of unique combinations by 2

[sharp geyser]

Signed ints can be negative right? But unsigned can’t

[wheat mesa]

Hence why it's such a convenient system for computers

Large amounts of data in small spaces

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[sharp geyser]

That’s why it’s 4b possible combinations

Cause it’s neg and pos

[wheat mesa]

Actually I think I explained the signedness thing wrong

But kuuhaku prob about to correct it

[lyric mountain]

lul, u said it correctly

[solemn latch]

Signed can have a sign, if that's what you mean.

[lyric mountain]

it's basically this: if you're dealing with bitwise ops, it doesn't really matter if something is negative or positive

you're dealing with the 32 bits, nothing more

the actual value is useless

[sharp geyser]

Bit operations is something I still don’t understand but I’ll figure it out in due time

[lyric mountain]

it's basically and array of booleans if u stop to think

[sharp geyser]

I’m already happy I figured out how to count in binary and dealing with bits

[solemn latch]

Bit operations can be really fun.

Bit math is so interesting

[lyric mountain]

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 this is your array (an int)

for signed ints, the very first bit is what defines if it's positive (0) or negative (1)

(very first in the message, but it's actually the last bit for computers)

as yk, u read from left to right

[sharp geyser]

Yea

[lyric mountain]

using bitwise is just like using arrays, but on steroid

8x more space-efficient than an array

[solemn latch]

He makes a whole cpu. It's a really fun thing to make, you learn a lot about bit operations

It used to be way cheaper to do, damn inflation ^-^

Funnily enough I could build this as well

I have the kit lol

[wheat mesa]

[solemn latch]

It's such a good learning experience

[solemn latch]

I got mine to .2mhz

^-^

No wait, khz? 200hz

Lol

It's been awhile

I followed along with that tutorial from money from my first paycheck.

[wheat mesa]

man I wish I could buy fun things

Gotta save like every cent possible though because uni is gonna eat my money next year

[lyric mountain]

do yall have something like ENEM there?

[wheat mesa]

No idea what that is

[lyric mountain]

basically a very long very broad exam where u can gain discount for uni if you score high

[wheat mesa]

Nope

You can get scholarships and such for scoring high on the SAT

But that time has passed

My scholarship is $3k/year for 4 years

[lyric mountain]

holy

[wheat mesa]

But the cost of tuition is roughly $15k/year for 4 years

[solemn latch]

Yikes

[wheat mesa]

Right now I have federal and state grants paying for it all

But the new financial form for college is probably going to take away half of that aid

(My federal pell grant, which gives me $7k/year)

Probably because I have a decent amount of money in my bank account that I had to tell them about

Which I had earned from my job saving specifically for college

The US doesn't understand that just because you have the money in your account doesn't mean you can afford to give it all away

If my car breaks down AND my aid gets taken, then I'm fucked

oh well

[lyric mountain]

or if you step on a nail and need to go to hospital

[wheat mesa]

yeah

[solemn latch]

And that's why uni is dying in the US

[wheat mesa]

also because a bachelor's degree is the equivalent of a high school diploma 15 years ago

can barely get anything with it

that's why I'm doing a master's, hopefully it will offset me from others

[lyric mountain]

I mean, you have quite a bit of portfolio to put on resume

those past projects, even if unfinished

[sharp geyser]

I’m hoping to be able to go to college myself

[wheat mesa]

yeah, but still not enough

[sharp geyser]

We’ll find out Wednesday

[wheat mesa]

applied to 60+ internships, only had 10 emails back

7 were rejections, 3 were virtual prerecorded interviews

the rest ghosted me

Those 3 interviews ghosted me afterwards also

[wheat mesa]

Born too late to get into peak CS, born too late to buy a house

[wheat mesa]

I'll pass lol

Might visit sometime

[lyric mountain]

as much as I dislike this country, the IT area is pretty starved for applicants

[wheat mesa]

Hell, my own uncle manages a team of 15+ software engineers (regularly hires interns), and told me "Yeah we usually only consider juniors and seniors"

That was rough

Can't even get in with nepotism lmao

[sharp geyser]

Usually they want young people they can manipulate not graduates

[solemn latch]

Graduates are young people they can manipulate.

No internships during uni = graduates are manipulatable

[sharp geyser]

Honestly an internship just seems useless to me but idk

[quartz kindle]

reject jobs, create your own company

[radiant kraken]

congrats! that code looks good

[sharp geyser]

thanks

stackoverflow helped a lot

:^)

[radiant kraken]

that's okay, at least you learned

[sharp geyser]

Only thing I don't really understand is this:

vector<string> split(const string& input, const string& delim) {
  vector<string> ret;

  size_t pos = 0;
  size_t lpos = 0;

  auto dlen = delim.length();

  while ((pos = input.find(delim, lpos)) != string::npos) {
    ret.push_back(input.substr(lpos, pos - lpos));

    lpos = pos + dlen;
  }

  ret.push_back(input.substr(lpos, input.length()));
  return ret;
}

[radiant kraken]

which part do you don't understand?

[sharp geyser]

I dont get what the while loop is doing

mainly the condition and ret.push_back

[radiant kraken]

hmmmm, i could be wrong but @sharp geyser

string::npos = max value of size_t, probably some kind of value that gets returned from find() once it couldn't find delim in or after lpos

delim = the delimiter
lpos = the starting index to search from
pos = the position of the detected delimiter

                          pos
                          v
finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                    ^ lpos (0)

finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                    ------ input.substr(pos - lpos)

finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                               ^ lpos = pos + dlen

[sharp geyser]

[radiant kraken]

wait

there we go

sorry it's 3 am lol

[quartz kindle]

its walking through the string finding each delimited one at a time

[sharp geyser]

I know what it does but not how its doing it

[quartz kindle]

find()'s second parameter basically means which index to start searching from

[radiant kraken]

does my explanation work for you

[quartz kindle]

so find first delimiter, get its position, slice the word, update the position, search again starting from the previously found

[sharp geyser]

not really sorry

[radiant kraken]

😔

which part do you not understand

[quartz kindle]

does cpp not have an string.split() equivalent?

[sharp geyser]

  while ((pos = input.find(delim, lpos)) != string::npos) {
    ret.push_back(input.substr(lpos, pos - lpos));

    lpos = pos + dlen;
  }

while pos = find delim at lpos does not equal npos then push the substring at position lpos to pos - lpos then set lpos to be the current position + the delim length

is how I interpret it

pos is the position of the delimiter in the input, so I am sub strining the lpos (which is 0 to start out with) to positonOfDelim - lpos and pushing t hat into the ret vector

[quartz kindle]

its correct

[radiant kraken]

                          pos
                          v
finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                    ^ lpos (0)

finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                    ------ input.substr(pos - lpos)

finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                               ^ lpos = pos + dlen

in the next iteration, pos = last index + 1 because it cant find "misty"

                                               v pos
finding "misty" in "today misty is learning c++"
                               ---------------- input.substr(pos - lpos)

in the next iteration, pos is string::npos, because pos is out of bounds

here's the entire iteration

[quartz kindle]

the cool thing about cpp is that every single question on SO, no matter how simple, has all sorts of different answers, often absurdly different

[radiant kraken]

well C++ has lots of standards

like C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, and C++23

[sharp geyser]

not that I know of

[quartz kindle]

ye, similar to js ES verions

but cpp differences betwen versions are often much larger, code-similarity-wise

[radiant kraken]

yes

some entire modules just get deprecated for no reason

[sharp geyser]

Sounds like a djs update

[quartz kindle]

what annoys the heck out of me is all those solutions that require using boost

boost is like, lodash for cpp

lol

[radiant kraken]

except it's much worse because it's thicc asf

me when boost

[quartz kindle]

lmfao

[sharp geyser]

wtf is boost

[radiant kraken]

lodash for cpp

[quartz kindle]

a cpp mega-lib

[sharp geyser]

wtf is lodash

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[radiant kraken]

the js lib that tries to do everything

like a multipurpose bot

[quartz kindle]

lodash is a js lib that has like hundreds of functions for all sorts of silly things

[sharp geyser]

oh thats probably why I never heard of it

[radiant kraken]

like it has its own toLowerCase function

[sharp geyser]

[radiant kraken]

lol boost takes up 705 MB in my PC

[quartz kindle]

LOL

[sharp geyser]

jeez

almost 1gb

[quartz kindle]

also, lodash performance:

[sharp geyser]

so its slower

[quartz kindle]

ye

lmao

[sharp geyser]

What the fuck is the point of it then

[radiant kraken]

i mean lodash is one of the oldest Node.js libraries so

[sharp geyser]

Its like 2x+ slower

[radiant kraken]

[quartz kindle]

ye

i mean, back then it has its purpose

[sharp geyser]

ye but did js not have those functions themselves ?

[quartz kindle]

back in the days of not all browsers supporting all js

[sharp geyser]

or were they added after lodash made them popular

[radiant kraken]

i mean back then, those functions probably didnt exist yet

[sharp geyser]

fair enough then

[quartz kindle]

a lot of things js didnt have yet, some things only some browsers had

[sharp geyser]

it's last update was 3 years ago

why dont they just archive it

[radiant kraken]

maybe because they gave up on it

[sharp geyser]

its not useful anymore by the looks of it

[quartz kindle]

https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Lodash-Underscore

lmao

[radiant kraken]

You Dont Need Boost when

[radiant kraken]

lodash seems like it's made for js devs who still want to support internet explorer

[quartz kindle]

xD

[sharp geyser]

IE is already dead

dont bring it back

😭

Its been replaced by an even worse option edge

[eternal osprey]

hey guys suppose i use docker for my project

and i run the project using docker run ...

[radiant kraken]

misty

[eternal osprey]

if i make changes to it, do i need to rebuild the whole image again>

[radiant kraken]

i USE edge

[sharp geyser]

dont

Edge sucks

[radiant kraken]

i cant misty

i use a low-end pc

[sharp geyser]

opera gx

[radiant kraken]

and chrome is just slow as fuck

[sharp geyser]

ez

[radiant kraken]

tbf edge is much more lightweight than chrome

[sharp geyser]

or use brave browser, built in ad blocker, ram limiter, even a built in vpn if you pay

[quartz kindle]

im using brave

[sharp geyser]

I do as well

[quartz kindle]

so far its been the only solution that never gave me any issues on youtube

[sharp geyser]

Third time i've installed the browser

stats reset between installs

I've blocked probably 400-500k ads

[radiant kraken]

idk man opera gx/brave looks pretty heavy for my pc

i want lightweight

like i cant even use VSCode

[quartz kindle]

if you want lightweight get rid of chromium lel

[sharp geyser]

https://oceanhero.today

I like this extension

cause of the whale

[quartz kindle]

someone made a browser with node+electron

[sharp geyser]

unrelated

[quartz kindle]

and claim its fast and lightweight

[sharp geyser]

electron fast and lightweight?

[radiant kraken]

yeah

[sharp geyser]

500mb just opening the damn application

[radiant kraken]

the only electron app i use atm is Obsidian

[sharp geyser]

anyway bye guys work calls

[radiant kraken]

bai bai misty

[quartz kindle]

https://minbrowser.org/

[radiant kraken]

i gotta study rn am about to have math finals in 3 hours

[quartz kindle]

gl

[eternal osprey]

each time i use fucking docker, when i make one single change i have to rebuild my whole image and then rerun docker to make the changes go through. Is there a better way to make docker just save changes on rerun or something? Cuz else i will throw it out of my project hella fast as it's so annyoing

[quartz kindle]

simple

dont use docker

:^)

[eternal osprey]

my project uses a lot of dependencies and using docker i think it's pretty useful

to get everything installed already,

[quartz kindle]

make an install script

gg

[eternal osprey]

Tim, i am trying to use docker and learn it. It may be beneficial in the future.

[quartz kindle]

then idk, i dont use docker myself

[solemn latch]

wtf

[radiant kraken]

ewwww

when i see duckduckgo i immediately closed the tab

Min is written entirely with CSS and JavaScript using Electron
yeah nope

definitely not min for my pc

[wheat mesa]

compile llvm

60gb+

[eternal osprey]

in sql, why does BOOLEAN evaluate to TINYINT?

does it actually evaluate true/false to binary?

[solemn latch]

yeah, its way more storage efficient.

[lyric mountain]

depends on the database

on postgres for example, there is an actual boolean datatype

[sharp geyser]

No thanks I’d rather not

Although it’d be fun to make my own language in c++

[eternal osprey]

that's really interesting

[eternal osprey]

i see

idk mysql is pretty well optimized in terms of speed it seems

it literally doesn't let me create a foreign key unless i index a table

other sql clients don't really limit you to doing so

[true star]

Has 'boot scootin' Boogie ' been flirting out on any other plays, Or just Me and mine?

[lyric mountain]

[lyric mountain]

I mean, you'll pretty much always have a primary key on the table

and every PK is indexed

if you're using an FK without the other table having a PK, something is really wrong

[quartz kindle]

a boolean only requires 1 bit of storage, however in every single system out there, the minimum amount of data that can actually be stored is 1 byte / 8 bits

thats why in most databases, booleans are stored as 8bit ints

[past field]

sam.. bestie.. can I get your help best friend in the whole entire world

best pal

[sterile lantern]

yeah sure whats up

[past field]

only if you want to of course

i was trying to dissect what you were saying with getting started on the actual function of the bingo game

and i couldn’t get it LOL

[sterile lantern]

in your interaction handling

you have a part where you check the number of players, right?

if you have enough players (some sort of if statement), then you can either begin the game in that if statement, or have a separate function to start the game and call it in that if statement

[past field]

yes right now i think i have it set to 30 players

[past field]

oh that’s a good idea! are you familiar with using canvas with node?

[sterile lantern]

heard of it but never used it

[past field]

ahh ok gotcha, i got some thinking on how this can be played lol

[sharp geyser]

Then how does a bitset work?

Cause a bitset can store it as 1 bit

[radiant kraken]

a bit set is a set/array of bits or booleans, think of it as

a = false
b = true
c = true
d = true

     1110
        ^ a
       ^  b
      ^   c
     ^    d

[sharp geyser]

I know its an array of booleans but they are 8 bits anyway, how is it stripped down to just 1 bit

[radiant kraken]

a single byte (the minimum size to be stored in memory) can hold 8 bits, so instead of an array/struct of 8 booleans, you can just store them in a bitset thus requiring 1 byte instead of 8 bytes

[sharp geyser]

I can store an array of 0's and 1's but how does it know its supposed to be a bit, and not an int which is also 4 bytes

[radiant kraken]

a bit can only be 1 or 0

booleans work the same way, but takes up 1 byte or 8 bits if you're not using a bitset

[sharp geyser]

ok, but like...how the fuck do you specify that you are storing bits and not just a list of numbers

[radiant kraken]

you do bit operations on them, like OR or |, or SHIFT TO THE RIGHT or <<

or you can use a bit literal or 0b01010111

[sharp geyser]

didnt know that was a thing

[radiant kraken]

(this is if you're going the raw/universal way, instead of using c++'s built-in class wrapper)

[sharp geyser]

yea

[radiant kraken]

i use bitsets everywhere throughout my major Rust project

really saves a lot of bytes especially when you're storing lots of numbers/packed data

[sharp geyser]

So wait, even if I give an empty string to an Option<String> it will still emit Some and not None?

Good to know

[pale vessel]

if u want to give an empty string you'd still have to do Some(string)

so yeah it'd be Some, not None

[sharp geyser]

gotcha

I just wont provide the param in the request at all

Which should give me a none

Also figuring this ownership out hurts my brain

I had to do this:

            let email = login_data.email.clone().unwrap();
            let email_exists = does_entry_exist(&pool, ETable::USERS, ETableFields::EMAIL, &email).await.exists;

            if !email_exists {
                return HttpResponse::BadRequest().json(LoginError {
                    reason: String::from("An account with this email does not exist")
                })
            }

            FieldData {
                field: String::from("email"),
                value: email
            }

instead of passing &login_data.email.unwrap() to does_entry_exist

This is because unwrap takes ownership of the value being unwrapped

so I can't give it to the does_entry_exist func

[pale vessel]

use as_ref().unwrap() then

[sharp geyser]

oh?

is this better than using clone?

[pale vessel]

yeah

it's cheaper

[sharp geyser]

gotcha

also if I do that then I have to use to_string on email in the FieldData struct

[pale vessel]

right

or provide login_data.email directly if nothing else needs it

[sharp geyser]

hm

That doesn't seem to work

which makes sense

cause the type of value is String

So wait

hm

[pale vessel]

did u not unwrap it

[sharp geyser]

oh shoot

[sharp geyser]

What kind of data would I even put inside a cookie for my auth system

[pale vessel]

a session token xD

[sharp geyser]

Should I just make one or?

[lament rock]

My bot used to not have a rewind button. Currently, it just seeks to 0 of the track. Do you think this is a good layout? I've seen some players on apps do ⏪⏭️⏯️ and usually there is no stop button. Spotify does ⏪⏯️⏭️ Like I do so I went with that. Though I'm also worried about users who have built up muscle memory over 4+ years to click the left most button to pause/resume

Also, my bot doesn't hold references to previously played tracks, so to subtly convey that, I used ⏪ instead of ⏮️ since skip goes to the next track and that's ⏭️

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt, its the db that defines what it is

data is just data, the program handling the data is responsible for knowing what the data contains and how to read it

but you can use bitwise to store extra information alongside the actual data if you want to store them together, otherwise you will likely store it in different places, ie keys types and values

[lyric mountain]

Personally I'd separate pause and resume buttons

simply because that emoji looks too similar to "Next song"

Any python bot dev dm me i need help

[lyric mountain]

just ask here, easier for someone to help than on dm

[earnest phoenix]

It's something personal

[green kestrel]

I've said so many times you need to see a doctor about those. /j

[deft wolf]

I'm curious what "discord tools" he needs

[green kestrel]

special tools.

for secret tasks.

[earnest phoenix]

Who?

[earnest phoenix]

Who ?

[deft wolf]

You

Here you are asking about python developers, on the discord developers server you are asking whether they also create "discord tools" there

I am curious what "tools" you mean

[earnest phoenix]

I am developing something suspicious

But wait a sec why you guys stalking me

[lone plinth]

Guys I need some help. I've this chatbot which swears and it's a bit goofy. It does some inappropriate chats with the users. If the user enables /swear feature. So idk that will discord interfere in future or not so should I make it like it will only talk inappropriate when you've annbles nsfw in the channel settings?

[soft gazelle]

I have a question may I post the code here? Because not sure if I got this right or not

[deft wolf]

Of course, just remember to remove any "sensitive" information such as the token

[soft gazelle]

Here is this correct?

[pale vessel]

it should work if it's right

just make sure you've enabled the intents on developer portal

[soft gazelle]

Okay, whenever I make those codes, can I test it out before I publish it and launch it? (Can't spell) does it cost anything?

@pale vessel ^ sorry for pinging

[pale vessel]

where are you launching the code?

usually it wouldn't cost anything extra to run the code

[soft gazelle]

Discord.py

[solemn latch]

Thats a library, not a place to run code.

[soft gazelle]

Or should I use Pycord or Discord.py?

[quartz kindle]

you said something about publishing and launching

thats what they are asking about

what are you using to "publish" or "launch"

[soft gazelle]

Oh, sorry I misunderstood my bad, but anyways, like launching the bot.

[quartz kindle]

yes, what are you using to launch

like, what system, hosting, website, platform

[soft gazelle]

Since it's go be my first time doing it well I'm on mobile. So about hosting.

[quartz kindle]

so you never started your bot yet? this your first time?

[soft gazelle]

The botghost without a code I have but with the code, I haven't started hosting my own.

[lyric mountain]

hosting on a phone will be complicated, but possible

this excluding botmakers like botghost

all in all, you dont pay at any of the stages of hosting a bot

well, except for buying a VPS ofc

[soft gazelle]

Okay, about this code, should I use Pycord?

[lyric mountain]

you can use whatever language or library you want

[soft gazelle]

Okay, how can I view how many servers that my bot is in?

[lyric mountain]

the client object will have a guilds property

the size of that property is the server count

(unless you're sharding, but this is story for another day)

[soft gazelle]

Okay, do I need make a code it will tell me how many servers that my bot is in?

[neon leaf]

whats the best way to convert all post bodies I recieve into valid utf8 in nodejs?

or atleast valid utf8 when its not binary data

so like utf16, ascii, ...

[lyric mountain]

yes ofc, the bot wont do anything you dont tell it to do

[lyric mountain]

simply read the bytes as utf8

when creating a string, you can specify the encoding

also some libraries will automatically convert to the encoding specified in the header of the response

[neon leaf]

what exactly do you mean?
If I take the raw bytes of the post body and do toString('utf8') I get a string yes but it doesnt seem to be actual utf8 because postgres complains
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00

[lyric mountain]

the response body is just a bunch of bytes, you can encode it however you like

it might cause broken characters tho if the original encoding isn't utf8 compatible

the 0x00 thing is because you have a null character somewhere, probably part of the request stream as a delimiter

if you're the server, then simply force utf8 upon your clients through Accept-Encoding header

otherwise, cut out the null character from the req

[neon leaf]

isnt that just for compression

[lyric mountain]

oh wait lul, wrong header, sec

Accept-Charset

this

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Charset

[neon leaf]

its from the client to server

[lyric mountain]

oh nvm, discontinued header

[neon leaf]

ill try replaceAll("\u0000", "")

[lyric mountain]

that'll do too

[neon leaf]

seems to not explode

👍

[earnest phoenix]

Developer portal

[lament rock]

alternatively, I could edit the icon

[lyric mountain]

that's an option

[lament rock]

Shit, now I'll have to also do that on the website

[lyric mountain]

tbh, without the blue bg it looks fine

maybe it's the low contrast messing with me

[lament rock]

Blue bg?

You mean on the emojis?

Those are the built in emojis

[lyric mountain]

yes, meant them

well, try gathering some more opinions on it

perhaps it's fine as-is

[lament rock]

I personally like it

I think the icons convey the intent

[eternal osprey]

No but like even if I have a pk and fk I MUST have that table I am referencing to indexed

this isn’t the case in other clients

[lyric mountain]

but that's what I'm saying, all tables that have a PK are indexed

that's the entire gimmick of pks

and as I said, if you have an FK that's not referencing a PK, then you need to rethink your structure

[neon leaf]

ah yesd

[past field]

if anyone has experience with node canvas pls lmk! i’d appreciate some guidance on my project with it

[solemn latch]

Canvas is a fun one.
I had a bot that had a 1v1 fighting game.

Instead of being text based it would use canvas to make a gif of a bunch of frames, then in the response message it would show the fight with animation and damage taken, etc.

I got so indepth with it you could customize what your character would look like.

Fun times

I would calculate the time the gif would take to play, and the size of the gif itself to determine how long to wait to send another message containing the stats for the match.

That took so long to make, then I killed the project 😭

[sharp geyser]

you used canvas to generate each individual frame

[solemn latch]

It was slow, yeah

[sharp geyser]

probably killed your ram and cpu as well

[solemn latch]

100%

I had made a bunch of workers so individual frames would render across cores.

It was an expensive project, which is why it was buried.

This was so long ago that discord actives hadn't launched, no one had done anything like it before either.

The bot gained a fair bit of growth

If someone ever does the same idea, but in opengl or some other proper rendering method, and does like a pokemon style to it it would grow so fast.

imagine pokemeow or one of those bots, but you actually fight with animations.

[past field]

dang

so it’s not that easy to coach me through lol

doesn’t sound like it 😭

[solemn latch]

I was doing something stupid complex, I'm sure what you're doing is simple enough

[past field]

I’m working on a bingo game LOL

[earnest phoenix]

Hello

[past field]

I have a blank bingo board, was trying to see if I can use canvas to generate numbers in the board for every players that joins

[solemn latch]

Oh yeah, that wont be "easy" but the canvas part shouldn't be too complex.

[past field]

well, easy is probably not the word I should l have used lol, more like “coachable”

[solemn latch]

This is one of those times chatgpt can get a lot of the legwork done within canvas.

[past field]

oohhh yeahh let me see what it’ll do

[sharp geyser]

I gotchu

put my C++ skills to use

[solemn latch]

If you ever do, let me know ^-^

Its worthy of a staff pick

[sharp geyser]

oh definitely not

opengl is so fucking hard

I like the idea

but

1. Opengl hard
2. Nintendo Sues for Everything

[solemn latch]

I'd suggest not using pokemon yeah, but a pokemon style

pull a palworld ^-^

[sharp geyser]

I like the idea of a graphical rpg game with opengl tho

palworld is being sued out the ass by nintendo rn

[solemn latch]

Is it? 👀

[sharp geyser]

As of my latest knowledge yea

Wait no, it was rumored to have happened.

All nintendo did was announce that any use of IP would be pursued by legal action.

[sharp geyser]

Palworld can't even get sued even if nintendo wants to

Its protected under parody laws

[solemn latch]

It would have to be gamefreak too

Nintendo cant sue afaik

[sharp geyser]

nope

They can try

but it'd be thrown out unless the judge is biased and ignores the laws

[solemn latch]

Nintendo doesnt own pokemon 👀

They just own a part of gamefreak, which owns pokemon

[sharp geyser]

Aren't they one of the largest share holders

They absolutely could

[solemn latch]

The only thing I can find is 1/3rd, and the source on that is a reddit comment

They could be the largest shareholder, its impossible to say tbh.

[sharp geyser]

I'd say a safe bet is they are.

Pokemon brought them in a lot of money

they'd secure that

They'd be dumb not to

not to mention they are a multi billion dollar company

they absolutely could

[solemn latch]

gamefreak is a 90 billion dollar company 👀

which is just wild

Nvm

I mighta lied there

3.8 billion apparently. 90 billion in profit over the years?

Something like that

Crazy nintendo doesnt own the whole thing.

[radiant kraken]

I remember seeing a bot that generates videos... from canvas frames

can u imagine the computing power needed for ffmpeg to render all that

[solemn latch]

👀 hopefully they fixed all that

lol

[radiant kraken]

that command must have really really strict ratelimits

[earnest phoenix]

OSError: dlopen failed: library "libpthread.so.0" not found
Guys can you help me?

[wheat mesa]

this does not give us enough info to work with

Usually this means that the system compiling whatever program is missing the pthread library (commonly used when compiling on Linux systems)

[sharp geyser]

Right, so what I store inside my redis session store is a user id. Would it be smart to store more application critical information like their username so that way the client can easily display it, or simply keep their user_id and just have the client use that to fetch the backend api for more user info

[lament rock]

You can cache the username there. Just nothing meant for persistence. Reducing API calls is what that's all about

[past field]

is it possible to create a slash command to schedule a post ?

[past field]

nvm figured it out

[lament rock]

Anything is possible

[soft gazelle]

I have a question, so I use ChatGPT to help me with the code with Javascript, can I use ChatGPT to help me with the code?

[deft wolf]

Partially yes, but certainly not entirely

You can ask about some individual issues but he will never write you the entire code correctly + chat gtp stopped on discord.js v13

So any code that will refer to discord.js you will have to check if it is compatible with v14

[sharp geyser]

Simple solution

Don’t use ChatGPT for code

[deft wolf]

Of course, but not everyone has enough patience and willingness to read documentation and tutorials

[eternal osprey]

That's so bullshit.

ChatGPT can give you a gentle push in the right direction

[sharp geyser]

Uh no

Not any modern libs

[eternal osprey]

Not to necessarily fully rely on it, but it can be pretty helpful sometimes

[sharp geyser]

It only has information up to 2022 iirc

[eternal osprey]

Owh are we talking about libs

[sharp geyser]

Anything after that is useless information

[eternal osprey]

you were talking about code in general right?

[sharp geyser]

No

[eternal osprey]

owh i deduced that from this message.

[sharp geyser]

It’s helpful to understand coding concepts sure. Even that’s a little bit of a stretch sometimes cause it’s not perfect

[eternal osprey]

nvm then, yeah for libs it's helpless.

[sharp geyser]

Even with general coding concepts it’s still not the best

ChatGPT can get confused on what you want to know with what’s found in stackoverflow pages that lead to no result

[eternal osprey]

yeah exactly. But on the other hand it's a fast way to grasp some of the concepts and get to understanding a piece of code more;

[sharp geyser]

Not always

You have to be very specific as to what you want to know

And new programmers suck at that it’s the hard truth

[eternal osprey]

yup that's true.

[sharp geyser]

If you simply ask ChatGPT how does this work or how would I use it. It’s not always going to give you a "correct" answer as it can pull that information from anywhere even code of people asking for help

[eternal osprey]

ChatGPT really helped me a lot when i was learning haskell. I specifically asked it a little question like, how does currying work etc en tbf it did a good job explaining and giving examples.

Especially as a visual learner it was great.

[sharp geyser]

If you can give specific instructions then it’s great tool but don’t rely on it

[eternal osprey]

yeah exactly. I wouldn't recommend asking chatgpt to implement something crazy or big, but little questions can be awesome

[eternal osprey]

yuh agree

[sharp geyser]

Oh shoot I’ve been using Xfinity WiFi the entire time pog

Fuck using my data when I don’t need to

Always happens to me as well

 INSERT INTO Messages (backup_id, owner_id, server_id, channel_id, message_content, message_author_id, message_timestamp, embed_id) VALUES ('qqPvtaL3vR2h1ByQZw8E', 345138133429649408, 734123033782124575, 945460738418421861, 'testig this out!', 456226577798135808, 2022-04-15 10:29:12.962, null) Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '10:29:12.962, null)' at line 1```
hey guys, what's the matter with that fucking timestamp?

the thing itself is a string, mysql expects it to be a timestamp but i am unsure what kind they define timestamp to be.

[sharp geyser]

It’s a normal timestamp?

[eternal osprey]

it tells me that it's wrong though.

and the range for TIMESTAMP values is '1970-01-01 00:00:01.000000' to '2038-01-19 03:14:07.499999'. The fractional part should always be separated from the rest of the time by a decimal point; no other fractional seconds delimiter is recognized. For information about fractional seconds support in MySQL, see Section 13.2.6, “Fractional Seconds in Time Values”.```

[sharp geyser]

How are you inserting the timestamp as a string?

[eternal osprey]

This comes from their docs, i do think i meet all constraints.

[sharp geyser]

Like wrapping it in single quotes

Or smth

You can’t just give it a raw timestamp it looks like

[eternal osprey]

  const formatter = function (message) {
          const createdTimestamp = new Date(message.createdTimestamp);
          const year = createdTimestamp.getUTCFullYear();
          const month = String(createdTimestamp.getUTCMonth() + 1).padStart(
            2,
            "0"
          );
          const day = String(createdTimestamp.getUTCDate()).padStart(2, "0");
          const hours = String(createdTimestamp.getUTCHours()).padStart(2, "0");
          const minutes = String(createdTimestamp.getUTCMinutes()).padStart(
            2,
            "0"
          );
          const seconds = String(createdTimestamp.getUTCSeconds()).padStart(
            2,
            "0"
          );
          const milliseconds = String(
            createdTimestamp.getUTCMilliseconds()
          ).padStart(3, "0");

          const sqlFormattedDate = `${year}-${month}-${day} ${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}.${milliseconds}`;
          return sqlFormattedDate;
        };```

this is the formatter i use

[sharp geyser]

God I’m on my phone

[eternal osprey]

i indeed think that it expects it to be wrapped in ' '

[sharp geyser]

Can you put that in a bin please 😭

[sharp geyser]

Yes

It does

It doesn’t accept a raw timestamp it has to be "stringified" in a sense

[soft gazelle]

Hey is this good code?

 const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('message', message => {
  if (!message.content.startsWith('/')) return; // Check if the message starts with '/'

  const args = message.content.slice(1).trim().split(' ');
  const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

  if (command === 'punish') {
    // Check if the user has permission to use this command
    if (!message.member.hasPermission('ADMINISTRATOR')) {
      return message.reply('You do not have permission to use this command.');
    }

    // Parse arguments
    const username = args[0];
    const rank = args[1];
    const punishment = args[2];
    const reason = args.slice(3).join(' ');
    const duration = args[4];
    const note = args.slice(5).join(' ');
    const approvedBy = message.author.username;

    // Check if all required arguments are provided
    if (!username || !rank || !punishment || !reason || !duration || !note || !approvedBy) {
      return message.reply('Please provide all the required arguments: Username, Rank, Punishment, Reason, Duration, Note, Approved by.');
    }

    // Check if punishment is zero tolerance policy and if user mentioned
    if (punishment.toLowerCase() === 'zero tolerance policy') {
      const mentionedUser = message.mentions.users.first();
      if (!mentionedUser) {
        return message.reply('You need to mention the user when using zero tolerance policy.');
      }
    }

    // Perform action based on the punishment
    // Here you can add your logic to apply the punishment, like adding a role, sending a message, etc.

    message.channel.send(`Punishment applied to ${username} for ${reason}. Approved by ${approvedBy}.`);
  }
});

client.login('your-bot-token');

[sharp geyser]

Which is why I say fuck the built in data types and just use Unix timestamps

Date.now = god tier

Who needs all the useless info like the day month and year when I can parse that later if I need it

[neon leaf]

thanks for the idea of feeding my ai discordjs docs

[sharp geyser]

No problem

Make an ai specifically for the djs docs and anything djs v14 and up related

You’ll make bank

Trust

You know how many lazy people will buy it to write code for them

Might as well make money off lazy people

[neon leaf]

eh

maybe

[soft gazelle]

Yo ^

@neon leaf ^

[sharp geyser]

No it’s bad

You aren’t using a switch case

[deft wolf]

What discord.js version are you using?

[eternal osprey]

ah i see!

Ahahahh OMG i just found something funny

i forgot to prepare my sql statement content

so one of my messages was DROP table and it literally executed it

Damn

[sharp geyser]

Lmao

Good job mate

Hopefully it was a test db

[eternal osprey]

it was luckily

why is mysql2 so dumb with their error handling?

They give me no info

database
                  .execute(
                    `INSERT INTO Messages (backup_id, owner_id, server_id, channel_id, message_content, message_author_id, message_timestamp, embed_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)`,
                    [
                      randomString,
                      interaction.member.id,
                      interaction.guild.id,
                      channel.id,
                      fetchedMessage.content,
                      fetchedMessage.author.id,
                      formatter(fetchedMessage),
                      null,
                    ]
                  )```

Error executing SQL statement: INSERT INTO Messages (backup_id, owner_id, server_id, channel_id, message_content, message_author_id, message_timestamp, embed_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' at line 1

They tell me to read the manual and go fuck myself

[sharp geyser]

Hm

I’d try and help further but I’m currently on the bus and on my phone

[eternal osprey]

it's okay!

[soft gazelle]

What version should I use for Discord.js

@eternal osprey

[charred nest]

latest stable

[rustic scarab]

It's recommended to use the latest stable version.

[eternal osprey]

idk

why ping men

[lament rock]

Always use latest stable anything for Discord related stuff

[harsh aspen]

It seems like the error you're encountering is related to a syntax issue in your SQL statement

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and improve error handling:

1. Print or Log the SQL Statement:
   Before executing the SQL statement, print or log the generated SQL statement with the actual values filled in. This way, you can see the complete query that is being executed, which can help you identify any syntax errors.

   const sqlStatement = `INSERT INTO Messages (backup_id, owner_id, server_id, channel_id, message_content, message_author_id, message_timestamp, embed_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)`;
   const values = [
     randomString,
     interaction.member.id,
     interaction.guild.id,
     channel.id,
     fetchedMessage.content,
     fetchedMessage.author.id,
     formatter(fetchedMessage),
     null,
   ];
   
   console.log("SQL Statement:", sqlStatement);
   console.log("Values:", values);
   
   database.execute(sqlStatement, values, (error, results) => {
     if (error) {
       console.error("Error executing SQL statement:", error.message);
     } else {
       console.log("Query executed successfully:", results);
     }
   });
   

2. Check Placeholder Values:
   Ensure that the number of placeholders in your SQL statement matches the number of elements in the values array. In your case, there are eight placeholders and eight values, so that seems correct.

3. Verify SQL Syntax:
   Manually review the generated SQL statement to ensure that the syntax is correct. In your case, the syntax appears to be fine, but there might be subtle issues.

4. Use Named Placeholders:
   Consider using named placeholders instead of positional placeholders. Named placeholders can make the code more readable and can help you spot errors more easily.

By incorporating these steps, you can make your code more robust and enhance error handling for MySQL queries.

[wheat mesa]

please don't send chatgpt answers here

we don't do that

[harsh aspen]

but I do

[wheat mesa]

My point was that ai generated answers are not appreciated

[harsh aspen]

but I appreciate 'em

they do help me a lot

[wheat mesa]

If their problem could be solved by chatgpt I'd imagine they would've tried it

If they wanted an AI generated answer, they could get it themselves

The reason that people ask questions here is because that want human help

[harsh aspen]

they might have forgotten

[wheat mesa]

🤦‍♂️

[neon leaf]

dont u love it when you release a true gimmick ai feature and 1 month after release u get comments about it being so crazy and wondering where these people were the last entire month

[solemn latch]

battless?

[lament rock]

battless vibes fr

[wheat mesa]

honestly wouldn’t be surprised

[silk flame]

Is there a way to clear the repositories that you’ve cloned on vsc and start over?

[solemn latch]

You can just delete the files from your file explorer

[harsh aspen]

what if they use MacOS and linux and they don't have that file explorer

[spark flint]

then open finder

[wheat mesa]

If you use linux and can’t find your file explorer then you shouldn’t be using a computer

[surreal sage]

find parents

[spark flint]

[sterile lantern]

what role permission is considered "moderator"

[real rose]

I think manage messages ?

or perhaps kick or ban

[sterile lantern]

aw that sucks for channels for mods only 😔

wanted to create a private thread in one of those channels

[harsh aspen]

manage threads perm I think

[sterile lantern]

o

[sharp geyser]

Anything that can modify another user, channel, role or the server

[real rose]

makes sense

[sterile lantern]

turns out its basically anyone with basic mod perms

kick/ban/manage msg

[harsh aspen]

i see

[warm surge]

Remove node:

[silk flame]

How

[warm surge]

it’s in your index file

[restive trail]

hey how do I refresh my bot still not updating

[trail marten]

you don’t really have to

node:fs will work fine

[silk flame]

It wasn’t though

Is there something else I could do instead of removing it?

[pale vessel]

looks like you're missing the quotes

[twilit beacon]

I have this problem, sometimes this error happens, I don't know what it could be, if anyone has had something similar I can help. I thank

'throw new DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);'

[silk flame]

const fs = require(“node:fs”); ?

[deft wolf]

Your bot is missing access to discord channel

[charred nest]

its the API error right below - its missing access to whatever youre doing

oof im slow typer LOL

[twilit beacon]

How can I solve?

[charred nest]

give the bot permissions in the channel

[twilit beacon]

It has the necessary permissions

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1082860291152420954&permissions=414464736320&scope=bot

This one

[charred nest]

no, in the channel -- go to the channel permissions, edit -> give your bot's integrated role permissions to read/send message

[twilit beacon]

ok

[twilit beacon]

how to check discord js bot permission? I will do a validation if the bot is not allowed to send a reaction it would cancel the message

[charred nest]

check permissionsbitfield

https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.14.1/class/PermissionsBitField?scrollTo=s-Flags

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/permissions#permissions-bitwise-permission-flags

[twilit beacon]

thranks

[charred nest]

no problemo c:

[past field]

ok so i have this counting bot in my server

is there some type of listening event i need to have to code that myself in my own bot?

[charred nest]

you would have to listen on messageCreate i would think

probably narrow it down to a channel to avoid listening to messages that are unneeded, then from there make the counter system

[past field]

i’ve been working on this by the way

thank you

[past field]

ok question

I'm working on my counting game and it's coming a long ok right now

but I want it to also accept math equations as the next number in the sequence

what am I doing wrong

this is the event listener I added to my index.js

[deft wolf]

You know it's going to be quite a pain to code this without a database, right? After restarting, all information about the last number and the last person who wrote the message will be lost because they are stored in the bot's memory, which will be deleted after restarting

[past field]

ah I didn't know that

ok i need to look into some databases. rn ive had my eyes on SQlite.. but i can do under another time

[eternal osprey]

hey my fellow people

how is everyone doing

[past field]

pretty good! how about you

[charred nest]

i personally use better sqlite 3 or enmap

either of those are good options

is lastUserId defined outside of the listener ?

ah nvm i see it now

my bad, my client didn’t load in the full text properly

[past field]

yes I’m looking into sqlite3, i’m installing the DB Browser right now

[quartz kindle]

better-sqlite3 good

[charred nest]

fax

[eternal osprey]

why is the site's image not available eventhough i explicitly added an icon?

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="./src/logo.png">```

[acoustic bough]

because google is special

it displayed an entirely different image for months for my website

[eternal osprey]

hahahah so i just gotta wait and thug it out?

[acoustic bough]

actually now it’s nothing again lol

[eternal osprey]

yeah google is hella annyoing

[acoustic bough]

yeah

it indexes like only 1/3 of all my pages

[past field]

good lord

i installed the sqlite packages in vsc

and installed db browser on my computer

but i hit “create new database” and its asking me to edit a table

[wheat hemlock]

Does anyone have a bot that can pick up pairs and calculate the percentage based on Voice?

[wheat mesa]

What?

[charred nest]

curious as to why youre using db browser ive never used it so i cant speak to it lol i just have the bot run sql queries as needed

ie create if not exists table

create table if not exists tablename ( bla bla

or whatever it is

i haven't touched sqlite in a hot min

https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/blob/master/docs/api.md

[wheat mesa]

It looks like you tried to add a command that doesn't have a name or description in it

[past field]

oh i thought i had to lol

[silk flame]

Ugh, of course! Thank you.

[wheat mesa]

np

happens to everyone at some point

[charred nest]

oh, no lol you don’t have to

if it helps, use it. if it doesn’t, ditch it

[past field]

just a little background, I’m super new to this coding bots thing.. like i started working on my bot Feb 20 so i’m learning the different javascript codes and pieces and terminology lol

[past field]

so i don’t quite know what this means 😭 not yet at least

[quartz kindle]

sqlite is a good db to start with because its much simpler than a standard database software in the sense that most databases operate as a server, while sqlite uses a single file to store data.
a db browser is useful to load the sqlite file and view its contents, but its not strictly necessary to make it work

the sqlite file can be created, read and written to 100% via code

[lament rock]

Never use eval. You can pass a string into the Number() constructor

[wheat mesa]

Yeah eval is completely unsafe. Never expose eval to a user that you don't absolutely trust

[quartz kindle]

^ for context, if you use eval, the person running the command can do something like /command process.exit() and your eval will run that and quit your bot

[wheat mesa]

That's not even the worst of your fears, a user can find your bot's token with eval and use it to login themselves

[quartz kindle]

or worse, they can do something like /command require("child_process").exec("rm -rf /") and delete your entire server

[wheat mesa]

I'm sure they could also do something bad with your host machine if it has elevated permissions enough

Yeah ^^

[past field]

whoa

what

i deleted it

[wheat mesa]

The eval() function essentially interprets the given string as if it were code

One of the worst vulnerabilities in any sort of security sense is arbitrary code execution

You NEVER want anyone running untrusted code on your machine

[past field]

so how should i modify the code to something safer?

[wheat mesa]

^^

[quartz kindle]

like papi said

you can use Number() to convert a string into a number

[past field]

like this?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[charred nest]

tbh as someone who started learning coding while making a discord bot, i rlly wish i waited until i understood more lol. obv doesn't speak to everyone, but you'll struggle through easier concepts that more learning would equip you for

fixing massive amounts of tech debt after you learn more also sucks

also, any reason you're declaring w your let statements at the end of your code rather than before you use them?

iirc you'll get an initialization err

[past field]

ah

ok i’ll have to move it

[charred nest]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/let

[past field]

thank you!!!

[charred nest]

no problemo ! mdn docs helps a lot

https://javascript.info/ this as well <-

[wheat mesa]

same, this is why I almost always recommend using java or c# as your first language, since they teach more fundamental concepts than js does (types)

[charred nest]

oh absolutely. there’s a lot of fundamentals that need to be learned and understood first before diving into the deep end

things i think are easy, basic javascript concepts didn’t use to be for me, and that’s simply bc i didn’t take the time first to learn those easy things

[dusky idol]

When I apply for verification of my new discord bot on developer portal (75+ servers), will it ask me for my id again considering that I already have submitted it once back in the day to get my other bot verified?

[silk flame]

What code do I use to randomize these responses instead of just getting the first one each time?

[craggy pine]

you should learn basic Javascript. This woud easily be done via an array and randomzing the result from said array to then be used in your reply.

[silk flame]

Thanks but I have. I’ve tried a few things that aren’t working. Was just looking for a code example to make sure I’m doing it right

[craggy pine]

Then if you have, store the "Jokes" in an array and shuffle them and return the first result.

[sharp geyser]

if you have learned basic js or how arrays work this would be easily achievable

[wheat mesa]

this is inefficient

just generate a random index between [0, length)

no need for mutation of the array

[sharp geyser]

yup

[wheat mesa]

that's messy

[sharp geyser]

theres a funny lib including in js called math

use it to get that index

[silk flame]

Thanks
