development

[past field]

just like the real tim.

[quartz kindle]

lmao²

[solemn latch]

Poor tim, always getting the complements. Must be hard

[quartz kindle]

indeed

much pressure

[frosty gale]

although word of warning

that makes you very susceptible to ddos if youre not careful as well as complete authentication bypass if youre not careful

because an attacker can open multiple connections quickly with no authentication stopping them and since you wont close them until they try authenticate they will hang there taking up resources

[solemn latch]

I close them after 5 seconds iirc

[frosty gale]

thats still long enough to open tons of connections and overwhelm a server

but you shouldnt worry too much about it id just be aware that its possible

[solemn latch]

Hopefully it shouldn't be a problem.
Hopefully my DDOS protection kicks in first.

At first it'll probably be behind cloudflare too since I pay for a tier that allows a fair number of websockets.

Which should last me a few years

[frosty gale]

ideally i would require you to put an authentication token as query string or a header then you can add a handler before upgrade and reject connections right there and there

then you also dont run the risk of your websocket implementation processing messages before a user has authenticated through misconfiguration

[solemn latch]

I mean each websocket on the websocket server has a token property. Since every message will be validated anyway it shouldn't be a problem

Any message I received will require that token to do anything in the database.

(I'm not selecting/updating by ID, but by token)

That way if someone gets someone else's token and they reset it will automatically reject them even if they have an established connection

[frosty gale]

i would upon opening a connection, have a separate message handler that waits only for the authentication token, then when client successfully authenticates it registers events for messages relating to other commands that require authentication

[past field]

meawhile, with the questions i ask, he probably thinks i’m an idiot 😭😂

[frosty gale]

thats a good idea also

[solemn latch]

I don't think anyone thinks you're an idiot ^-^

[solemn latch]

I had a feeling you'd stick with programming the first time you asked something here just based off your questions and problem solving. I don't think anyone thinks you're an idiot. Just a beginner

[solemn latch]

I just hate the way not authenticating after the upgrade occured.

Handling it on the client side seemed to lead to unknown errors, which I couldn't figure out how to cleanly handle.

It's hard to explain without showing.
I'm currently doing some work away from my computer. But I'll have to show it to you to see if there's a better way.

I'll setup a minimum example so it's easy to show ^-^

I spent like 2 days goofing around with it, looked at dozens of questions on the ws GitHub.

Because this is going to be for mostly inexperienced devs I need clean errors across multiple languages

[frosty gale]

you mean its difficult to handle authentication errors before the upgrade on the client side?

[sharp geyser]

oh yea I bet

[past field]

you and @deft wolf are the only reasons i stick with it lol

[past field]

you never make me feel like an idiot and @deft wolf ‘s patience with me is unbelievable

[sharp geyser]

most of top.gg is helpful

[past field]

100%%%%%%%%

[frosty gale]

most of #development anyways

[quartz kindle]

all the weirdoes were banned

what was that guy's name again, that would constantly ask for help and then argue with whoever helped him

and got muted a gazillion times before ban

[earnest phoenix]

pls tell me the free hostings that will hosting bots 24/7

[frosty gale]

lmao he was my favourite

[frosty gale]

repl.it probably

[quartz kindle]

google compute engine free tier
repl.it
oracle compute free tier

[earnest phoenix]

replit's security is 0%

[quartz kindle]

i forgor his name tho

[earnest phoenix]

k thx

[frosty gale]

you suggesting oracle is like leading him to his demise

google is good but you have to be careful to stay within their free tier limits

[last schooner]

@earnest phoenix discloud

[frosty gale]

otherwise theyll start charging you and 1 its not cheap and 2 you cant set a hard limit i believe

i think even using too much network will automatically have you be charged

[earnest phoenix]

thx
but i can't acces to them services in my country

catch my country bro

[frosty gale]

what is your country

[earnest phoenix]

catch my country

[deft wolf]

battleless?

[quartz kindle]

you mean "guess my country"

[quartz kindle]

yeah him lmao

[frosty gale]

brazil

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[deft wolf]

I had to make sure because the only thing I remembered was that he tried to mess with the Steam API

[earnest phoenix]

no

[quartz kindle]

turkey, india, pakistan, iran

[frosty gale]

turkey is my guess too

[earnest phoenix]

nice

" iran "

[quartz kindle]

rip

[earnest phoenix]

yea

[sterile lantern]

for reference, i usually use import but ig this package doesnt support that

[earnest phoenix]

python is good for discord bot development ?

[frosty gale]

sure

[sterile lantern]

yeah i guess

just depends which one ur most comfortable programming in

[frosty gale]

php

[earnest phoenix]

but i ... don't see the key in compass

[frosty gale]

not sure what you're trying to do here but in mongodb the id field already exists for all records and is automatically indexed

[earnest phoenix]

yeah, _id_ exists

but not "id"

i see the index in mongosh which is interesting

just not compass

OH SHIT I'M STUPID

rubber duck debugging strikes again

this is interesting though...

[earnest phoenix]

sqlite3 or mysql ?

[earnest phoenix]

??

[earnest phoenix]

which one is better for discord bot's database

uhhhh depends on your purpose

[frosty gale]

for a simple beginner bot i would recommend sqlite3

but if you dont know sql use a wrapper around it that makes it simpler to use

[earnest phoenix]

plz don't open your bot up to sql injection basically

[sterile lantern]

how can i make this work

  Try `npm i --save-dev @types/trello` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'trello'```

i already tried a trello.d.ts file and that doesnt work either

[real rose]

lowercase T

[sterile lantern]

still get the same error

[real rose]

you didnt try hard enough ||(jokes)||

did you install the module

[sterile lantern]

yep

get the same issue when i try doing import * as trello from 'trello' (which is how i import all of my other packages)

[wheat mesa]

Did you actually do npm i trello

[sterile lantern]

yes

[wheat mesa]

Also why even bother using a package for this? I’m sure they have an easy to use REST API

Oh you’re using typescript

This package doesn’t have typings

[sterile lantern]

how would i bypass that

id assume with trello.d.ts but that doesnt work

[quartz kindle]

did you try npm i @types/trello

[sterile lantern]

yeah

doesnt exist

[wheat mesa]

It doesn’t exist

He’s using a random package that hasn’t been updated in 3 years

Just use their raw API

There’s no reason to use a package for this

[sterile lantern]

to be fair it still works lol

easier to use

[quartz kindle]

the advantages of an api that doesnt have breaking changes every year

unlike a certain lib

:^)

[wheat mesa]

js users when there isn’t a package to solve world hunger

[deft wolf]

Real

[wheat mesa]

One of the biggest things that bothers me about js is the amount of bloat packages that exist for no good reason

There doesn’t need to be a wrapper around everything 😭

[sterile lantern]

is there a way to just ignore the ts check

cause i tried the annotations

those dont work either

[quartz kindle]

did you try creating a declaration module .d.ts and including it in your tsconfig?

[wheat mesa]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46608937/npm-package-doesnt-have-types

[sterile lantern]

like this?

if so yeah

[wheat mesa]

add a globals.d.ts file and add the line declare module trello

[quartz kindle]

then idk, shit like this is why i dont use TS (cant miss a chance to shit on TS :^))

[sterile lantern]

in the project or in the same folder as the file

[wheat mesa]

The root directory of the project

[sterile lantern]

yeah that doesnt work either

[wheat mesa]

Wherever your package.json file is stored

[sterile lantern]

get a bunch of these

[pale vessel]

is that your own lib?

[sterile lantern]

no

[pale vessel]

try disabling library checks then

[wheat mesa]

He’s trying to use a package that doesn’t have typings in ts

Adding a declaration file creates those issues above, idk

Never done that before

[sterile lantern]

oh those issues

always came

even without the declaration file

[wheat mesa]

oh

[sterile lantern]

it just happens whenever i try to declare that specific package

[pale vessel]

u could also just fork the lib and add the typings urself

[sterile lantern]

man i dont even use ts anymore

the main file used to be in ts

but i just changed everything to js

[pale vessel]

simply run the script with node without tsc then

[sterile lantern]

this is cf worker stuff

i tried removing ts stuff but still nothing

[pale vessel]

maybe it somehow didn't apply the new config properly

[sterile lantern]

i removed that entire file at one point

and i still get the same error

i think its something to do with the cf workers

[pale vessel]

check ur deployments

make sure that it deployed the proper code

[sterile lantern]

it wont even deploy

it just fails

because of those same errors

once i remove the trello import, it deploys fine

[quartz kindle]

have you tried doing what i mentioned before?

go through the entire trello dependency tree and change all requires to use node: prefix

[sterile lantern]

these?

its in trello's package.json

[quartz kindle]

yes

its a ridiculous requirement but thats pretty much what cf is telling you

[sterile lantern]

do i need to do node:trello in my main file as well

[quartz kindle]

they dont support anything that uses internal node modules without the node: prefix

no

only the internal node modules

modules that are built into nodejs

or

[sterile lantern]

same errors

[quartz kindle]

you can try installing a 3rd party version lol

like install http and uri from npm

instead of using the node built in

[sterile lantern]

i tried that actually

i tried installing everything it said it couldnt find

but didnt work

[quartz kindle]

rip

[quartz kindle]

cd into node_modules/restler/lib/multiplatform.js

and change fs and util to node:fs and node:util

[sterile lantern]

i get '1 problem in this file'

but it doesnt say anything

[quartz kindle]

ignore it

or add a ts exception to that line

[quartz kindle]

did you add the node_compat thing to wrangler?

[sterile lantern]

yeah but when i deploy with that

it doesnt work

i think the project size gets too big

[quartz kindle]

if cf reinstalls everything from npm you're screwed either way

because it overwrites those import edits

[sterile lantern]

with the node_compat its 2121 kb

without its 700

regardless it doesnt work with either

[quartz kindle]

you'd need to fork those libs, edit them in your github then install them from github instead of npm

[sterile lantern]

trello? or all of the ones that trello requires

[quartz kindle]

if you can even install git on cf lol

since git is a requirement

[sterile lantern]

is there a way to just disable the ts requirements

or is this a cf worker issue

[quartz kindle]

restler primarily, then edit trello to use your github restler

what does restler even do

[sterile lantern]

idk

[quartz kindle]

An HTTP client library for node.js.

Last publish
8 years ago

ffs

fork trello, replace all restler calls with fetch

get rid of it

[sterile lantern]

could i just change this to fetch lol

in trello's main.js

[quartz kindle]

i mean, fetch is available globally in node 18+, so you dont need to require anything

but the api is different, so you need to reimplement the restler calls to the fetch format

[sterile lantern]

god

[quartz kindle]

es6 promise polyfill lol

object assign lol

[sterile lantern]

this is what restler did

[quartz kindle]

all those 3 things they use are all built into node now lol

[sterile lantern]

at this point i think it would just be easier to make functions

[quartz kindle]

probably

check what makeRequest does

[wheat mesa]

Even better, don’t use a wrapper for something that doesn’t need a wrapper

[sterile lantern]

yeah im just gonna use the api directly

could just make my own functions so i dont need to repeat code

[quartz kindle]

callback hell from a decade ago

it isnt hard to replace all that with fetch, but you're probably better off making your own functions

[past field]

tim brother

[harsh aspen]

tim brother

[quartz kindle]

lol

[frosty gale]

i have an interesting question for you

is there a performance difference between using callbacks and promises

[quartz kindle]

yes

callbacks are faster, about 30% faster

[sharp geyser]

battleless?

[real rose]

(noooob^ )

[frosty gale]

tf

those gains make callback hell worth it

[harsh aspen]

I'm a good human 👀

[quartz kindle]

the thing is

any performance advantage will be absolutely demolished by the i/o wait time lol

so its only worth it if you have a gigantic hell of a function whose sheer amount of callbacks actually do amount to some difference

[harsh aspen]

In terms of performance, both callbacks and promises have similar overhead when it comes to managing asynchronous operations. However, promises can sometimes have a slight performance advantage due to their ability to optimize certain asynchronous operations internally.

Promises have built-in mechanisms for error handling and chaining, which might make them slightly faster in certain scenarios compared to manually managing callbacks. Additionally, promises can be more easily composed and manipulated, leading to potentially more efficient code in complex asynchronous scenarios.

That said, the performance difference between callbacks and promises is usually negligible in most real-world applications. The choice between them should primarily be based on code readability, maintainability, and compatibility with existing codebases or libraries.

[frosty gale]

that looks like it was written with chatgpt

[quartz kindle]

indeed

and also wrong, anyone who says promises are faster than callbacks clearly never tested them

[harsh nova]

yeah that vocab is outside battleless scope

[harsh aspen]

AI never gives wrong answers

[quartz kindle]

callbacks use the event loop in a purely flow control way, its literally function calls

promises do a bunch more checks under the hood

have dedicated error handling

use the even loop in a different way, since they expect it to be async from the beginning

callbacks dont expect anything, you can use callbacks synchronously

[harsh aspen]

I see

thanks Timmy

[frosty gale]

svelte is so good

why do people use react

[tulip ledge]

cause it was made before svelte and most existing apps were made in react

also react is made by a multi billion company

while svelte was a 1 man job iirc

[frosty gale]

i have to say he did a better job

[tulip ledge]

he indeed did

[jaunty lagoon]

still humans samrter lel

[wheat mesa]

Petition to ban AI generated answers from #development

[solemn latch]

Lets see what I can do ^-^

[frosty gale]

is this stackoverflow

the mods did an entire "protest" on ai generated answers

[wheat mesa]

I’m fine with AI being used in combination with someone’s brain

But blatantly copy pasting answers on a topic of which you have no knowledge is really annoying

If people wanted AI generated answers like that, they wouldn’t ask other humans

[real rose]

havent you been warned before for using stupid AI generated responses constantly

[frosty gale]

battleless getting banned (again)

[radiant kraken]

I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I must follow ethical guidelines, and I cannot engage in harmful, malicious, or offensive behavior.

[radiant kraken]

artificial intelligence meets natural stupidity

[harsh aspen]

Bro, my last AI generated response was on 3/3/2024, where is constantly

[wheat mesa]

My last AI generated response was… oh yeah, never

[harsh aspen]

Also, I didn't get warned that time

[wheat mesa]

If you don’t know the answer to something, don’t answer it

[harsh aspen]

Chatgpt really helps me in development, thats why Im encouraging to use it like me

[wheat mesa]

I look in here all the time and see questions I don’t know the answer to, I just leave it to someone else to respond instead of sending a paragraph of meaningless AI generated garbage

[real rose]

you were not encouraging.

If users want to use AI, they will do that as opposed to asking in here.

moreover the message you replied to was already answered

by someone more than qualified

so I'd leave it off next time

[harsh aspen]

ok nvm

anyways

I won't use AI to help you again

[real rose]

you weren't helping me

[harsh aspen]

let humans help you

[harsh nova]

I wont do the thing you told me not to do

[real rose]

how dare you

[harsh aspen]

"you" was not meant only to you sorry

[harsh nova]

jolly good! We're on the same terms lol

[spark flint]

...you are giving guidance to people on stuff you don't know ☠️

thats like applying to be a maths teacher without knowing maths and saying "oh i'll just use a calculator"

[wheat mesa]

^^

[quartz kindle]

is that actually him? lmao

[wheat mesa]

I wouldn’t be surprised

[harsh nova]

well shit if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

[sharp geyser]

and if it acts like a fish and swims like a fish

then its dinner

[harsh aspen]

and if it sleeps like a cat and meows like a cat

[harsh aspen]

(no)

[quartz kindle]

sounds like a confession

[harsh aspen]

No I don't lie

I don't even know who you are talking abt

[past field]

does anyone have experience with the canvas node module with discord.js ?

[harsh aspen]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[sharp geyser]

Im sure someone does, but they wont just ask you your problem.

[past field]

ah i forget

[sharp geyser]

State the issue you are having and someone qualified will be able to answer

[past field]

my bad 💀

[sharp geyser]

all good

[quartz kindle]

pure coincidence i promise, but i do lol

[past field]

thank the lord, tim the code god knows all i stg

[sharp geyser]

tim at this point you know just about anything js related

lets be real

[past field]

stg

[past field]

do you have anything that i can use as a resource to figure out how to get canvas to automatically generate random numbers on a png of a bingo board i created? i’m working on creating a bingo game for my bot. i have the lobby set up successfully, now im working on the actual function of the game (how the numbers will be rolled, the buttons, etc) but i imagine the first thing that needs to happen after i tap my start button is the bot generating the bingo boards for the players

[quartz kindle]

generating is easy, just use Math.random() and stuff

then you use canvas's text drawing functions

you need to calculate the coordinates in the bingo image for where each number should be

[sharp geyser]

you can use math to also to calculate the coords

:)

which likely means you will need to 1. decide how big the board is 2. decide how big each box will be that houses a number

[quartz kindle]

3. account for padding/border/separation between each box if applicable

[sharp geyser]

I haven't worked with canvas in a while but you can just make a sample board that will be used for every single board further. blank one ofc with only the boxes drawn and the other stuff

[harsh aspen]

👀

[sharp geyser]

I swear if the response from this guy is some chatgpt response I will send him to the gulag

[past field]

shit

[harsh aspen]

like that?

[past field]

that sounds like a lot for my beginner brain

[sharp geyser]

its not too complicated tbh

[past field]

ok i gotta sit down, breathe, and dissect those steps lol

[quartz kindle]

check the docs for canvas fillText

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/fillText

[past field]

it’ll much easier if you just disconnect your brain from the stem and switch brains with me for a few mins

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[past field]

laugh your brain off instead pls.

[real rose]

💀

[harsh aspen]

lmao

[harsh aspen]

hey guys tricky question
how do app like discord handles real-time communication
like will the app fetch the messages API every second to receive new messages or they use a tool?

[pale vessel]

can't u ask ur chatgpt that question?

[sharp geyser]

why did I have that same thought to ask this question 😭

[harsh aspen]

yes good idea

yep it works 🙂

[civic scroll]

WebSocket
the application establishes a duplex (two-way) communication pipeline to the chat server after a successful upgrade request (handshake)
think like when you make a cellular call

oh someone already answered it

[tulip ledge]

websockets are so tedious and it's such unorganized code. I don't like it

wish there was a better way to do it

also quick question. I'm working on a kind of security bot and it has some niche features I haven't seen in any bot yet. But I was also thinking of adding a lot of cusomizability. With that I was thinking of integrating the Lua interpreter in my bot. So a server administrator could write lua scripts on the dashboard that will get triggered on specific events. Now I was wondering. How do i do this safely? Iirc I can disable access to certain packages of lua but users will still have access to the file system and to io. Also would this be something that people use?

[lyric mountain]

depends, you can make a well-organized websocket if you spend enough time on it

it's not inherently bad, people just take the easy way which makes it look bad

[sharp geyser]

easy way = best way

[vivid fulcrum]

i don't remember where i exactly read this, but quite an innovative approach is to run untrusted code inside of a docker container. you can let the user do whatever with the file system and memory as it is all virtualized and gets cleaned up

useful article: https://hmarr.com/2013/oct/16/codecube-runnable-gists/

I reported both IPs don't worry, but unlucky for you guys the dude had a temp file upload service that he used in-case the domain was taken down, if the malware is still in your system he's still digging into your credentials

really? huh...

[civic sundial]

here is it

[lyric mountain]

if (warn == "DeprecationWarning: The Emoji#url getter is deprecated. Use Emoji#imageURL() instead") return;
holy lord of hardcoding

[civic sundial]

[wheat mesa]

my god

[lyric mountain]

but anyway, are you really not getting any error in console?

[wheat mesa]

So much unnecessary logging 😭

[civic sundial]

Nope

[lyric mountain]

that's a template, they're usually pretty verbose to help forkers troubleshooting

[wheat mesa]

man

[lyric mountain]

ok so, put console.log("1") right above // ———————————————[Global Variables]———————————————

and console.log("2") right after // Initializing the project.

to check if it's stopping in one of those requires

[civic sundial]

1,2 done

[lyric mountain]

run it, see if they appear on console

[lyric mountain]

tho I must agree, that's an insane amount of console.log calls when a single interpolated string could do it

[quartz kindle]

im pretty sure the bot is running

but you dont log anything

in the else block, you only have client.login(token), but then you dont log anything

[lyric mountain]

ah that's a true, there's no "Ready" message

[civic sundial]

Nope bot no even showing its activity

[lyric mountain]

neither 1 nor 2 appeared on console?

[civic sundial]

it did

[lyric mountain]

then it's tim's case then

[quartz kindle]

add client.on("ready", () => { console.log("bot is ready") })

[wheat mesa]

require("./handler")(client); ouch

Nothing to do with the issue but just an odd way of doing things

[lyric mountain]

also, is webhookClient declared anywhere?

[frosty gale]

for some reason this line gave me the idea of a c++ library that lets you import and use javascript functions

use case: c++ too hard

[lyric mountain]

unless I'm blind I dont see it, so it'll error when logging the errors

[lyric mountain]

there's already a library for that

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[lyric mountain]

where did you put the code tim sent?

[lyric mountain]

^

should be above client.login

[civic sundial]

i didn't

[lyric mountain]

put it then, so we know whether the bot is going online or not

[civic sundial]

cuz it already have hat

ok

[lyric mountain]

where?

[quartz kindle]

you have a hat

nice

[frosty gale]

why

im glad theres some like minded people out there

[lyric mountain]

yeah, they named it JavaScript

[frosty gale]

i shouldnt need to write an entire program to split a string

ill just import js and split it that way

[lyric mountain]

well, they named it ecmascript but whatever

[frosty gale]

(c++ standard library provides a function to split a string into an array by delim for the record)

[wheat mesa]

Splitting in C++ has always been garbage

The language itself is quite nice though

[civic sundial]

yea got it its not working from // ———————————————[Logging Into Client]——————————————— to end

[lyric mountain]

do you have a file named main.json inside botconfig folder?

cuz there's virtually no exception handling in that code, so many stuff that could error there

[civic sundial]

yupp

[sharp geyser]

Right so I decided to torture myself cause I just love causing myself pain. How the fuck do I use slash commands with cogs

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import ApplicationContext, Bot

class Public(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.slash_command(name="setup", description="Allows you to setup your profile and choose your starter stats", guild_ids=[957867801119449109])
    async def setup(self, ctx: ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.respond('Setup will commence when I fully implement this feature')

    
def setup(bot: Bot):
    bot.add_cog(Public(bot))

using pycord this is how I am defining a cog

from discord import Bot, ApplicationContext, Intents
import os

intents = Intents()
intents.members = True
intents.guilds = True

bot = Bot(intents=intents)
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"{bot.user.name} has logged in.")

    for cog in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if cog.endswith('.py'):
            bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{cog[:-3]}')
            print(f'Loaded cog.{cog[:-3]}')
        else:
            continue
    


@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[957867801119449109])
async def hello(ctx: ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.respond(f"Hello {ctx.author.name}")


bot.run("REDACTED")

the only slash command that loads is the hello slash command

[quartz kindle]

what if you remove require("./handler")(client);

[sharp geyser]

neat figured it out

:D

helps looking through very old pycord help forum channels ig

strange that slash_commands exists on commands but they dont advise you using it

💀

[earnest phoenix]

thats my favourite line of js by far

stupid maintainers shoving their stupid warnings in runtime

Do U know how to add bot too my server

??

[spark flint]

fucking lmfao

stop pinging people

https://www.iorad.com/player/2133568/Discord---How-to-add-a-bot-to-your-server-using-Top-gg#trysteps-1

[sturdy dock]

Who tf are U

[spark flint]

ur mom

who r u

[sturdy dock]

Ur sister

[sharp geyser]

no I do not

[sturdy dock]

Thnx for your response

[sharp geyser]

No problem

but uh that guy who you asked "Who tf are U" answered your question

so look there

:)

[sturdy dock]

Still don’t understand what you are saying

[sharp geyser]

click link and read

[sturdy dock]

Yeah

I saw IT

and i added it

[sharp geyser]

then READ

[sturdy dock]

But now the problem is idk how to use it

[sharp geyser]

then that sucks, we dont help with how to use bots

join the bot's support server

[sturdy dock]

How?

[sharp geyser]

💀

[sturdy dock]

😂😂

[sharp geyser]

It's crazy people don't know how to use websites

or read

[deft wolf]

You are alive

I thought that after all the time you spent on mute you would give up on this server

[radiant kraken]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>

char * split_next(char * string, char * delim, const size_t delim_length, char * output) {
  char * ptr = strstr(string, delim);
  
  if (ptr != NULL) {
    const size_t found_len = ptr - string;
    
    memcpy(output, string, found_len);
    output[found_len] = 0;
    
    return ptr + delim_length;
  } else {
    strcpy(output, string);
    
    return NULL;
  }
}

int main(void) {
  char test[] = "somethingtestasdftestyes";
  char delim[] = "test";
  char output[50];
  char * tok = &test[0];
  
  do {
    tok = split_next(tok, delim, sizeof(delim) - 1, output);
    
    printf("%s\n", output);
  } while (tok != NULL);
  
  return 0;
}
``` this is what my 5 am mind came up with

[sharp geyser]

yea no

[radiant kraken]

wdym no

[past field]

what exactly could I code in for an anti-nuke security feature?

[sharp geyser]

nothing

let discord handle that /s

[frosty gale]

world dies if a split token is larger than 49 characters

[radiant kraken]

just malloc + realloc

[real rose]

no way 😭

[past field]

whatcha mean?

[sharp geyser]

Discord's auto mod

[lament rock]

sussy activity

[earnest phoenix]

why am i getting this when i call the webhook endpoint?

uhhhh who ghost pinged

[real rose]

someone who just got themselves banned

[lyric mountain]

this what? the embeds thing?

[earnest phoenix]

got it sorted, i was using the wrong api version

[lyric mountain]

ah

[sturdy dock]

Does someone knows how to use scrims bot??

[civic sundial]

@quartz kindle @lyric mountain it was a command handler i got from a friend it was working great but the issue was that its version was discord v13 so i updated it from v 13 to v14 so then it started to giving errors of chalk after some work and my friend helped me in that the error was removed so now thats how its not working now

[lyric mountain]

well yeah, you cant simply update from v13 to v14 without changing code

[civic sundial]

what should i do now ?

[sharp geyser]

check out the migration guide

[earnest phoenix]

Hshshssjjsjss

Gay?

[deft wolf]

🤔

[quartz kindle]

why are you gay?

[deft wolf]

Who is gay?

[earnest phoenix]

E you

[quartz kindle]

you are gay

[earnest phoenix]

You Tim

Is gay

[quartz kindle]

you are transgenda

lesbian? homosexual? how can i describe you?

[earnest phoenix]

Vai se fude

[quartz kindle]

kkkkkkkkkkk

brazilian detected

[sharp geyser]

lol

[frosty gale]

this is the funniest shit

you can just tell by how it looks that its not gonna be nice

[quartz kindle]

xD

[lyric mountain]

impressive gtranslate could understand it

[deft wolf]

I wonder what the motivation is for people to go to this exact server and this channel to write something like this

[quartz kindle]

its called being a kid on the internet

do random shit for the lulz

[chilly egret]

can confirm

[radiant kraken]

this excretory system is not designed to receive!!!! it is only for exit!!!!!

[green kestrel]

this is why dpp provides dpp::utility::tokenize 😄

[humble gyro]

what does that do? 👁️

[green kestrel]

splits strings

like um

std::vector<std::string> split_string = dpp::utility::tokenize(string, ",");

all the string helpers dpp makes for internal use, it exposes publically for users to use

because std::string is lacking, in some ways

[humble gyro]

ohh i see

[green kestrel]

tbh

if you just want to split a string at spaces, tabs and newlines, you can always use std::stringstream

std::stringstream stream("hello world");
std::string hello, world;
stream >> hello;
stream >> world;

its slow, though

[wheat mesa]

Still quite verbose compared to a built in method

Not to mention this is probably unnecessary overhead

[radiant kraken]

the C/C++ way is to always write your own function for it

can't have a C/C++ project without a utility file

[humble gyro]

util.h

[surreal sage]

has anyone got a clue on how I can proxy udp and tcp connections from a vps to an opened port on my home server

tried this but doesnt quite work (nginx.conf)

wait it works oml

[humble gyro]

based af

(i have no idea)

what are you building?

[surreal sage]

couldnt change incoming and remote port

[surreal sage]

nothing

game server thing

[humble gyro]

sick

[surreal sage]

runs on my home windows server

[humble gyro]

I wanna do a multiplayer game someday

😭

[surreal sage]

and using vps as proxy

[humble gyro]

smart

[surreal sage]

butttt its not quite working

js stuck on this

damnit

and just found out about nginx -t

[humble gyro]

[surreal sage]

seems like tcp is working but not udp

(why)

wut.

[green kestrel]

yeah usually you'd want to avoid stringstream, it does some stuff that is expensive

like each time you instantiate one it reads various config from the system locale which means it literally reads a bunch of files, and it parses floating point numbers differently depending on your system locale e.g. in France it will read 1,03 as 1.03 but in England it won't.

you can avoid it doing that with commas by explicitly setting locale but this still doesn't stop it reading config files each time you create the object

[surreal sage]

nah please

i swear to god

if me forgetting to open port 8777 on server

is the issue

please dont work

it works and doesnt work

😋

[quartz kindle]

holy shit locale-dependent code is a programmer's worst nightmare

i got ptsd from working with excel formulas only to find out they dont work if the users excel is in a different language

[green kestrel]

lol exactly

[green kestrel]

the only thing worse is locale dependent dates

you get all the pain of calendar/date/time manipulation and intervals/spans, plus representing them in wildly different formats depending on where the user is from!

[neon leaf]

Finally switched more stuff to cloudflare like my S3 and some APIs, it's been a pretty nice experience so far

[wheat mesa]

Too much work

Already hell to debug templates, can’t even imagine what it would be like with someone’s hobby project

Unless this just transpiles to C++, in which case it might be even worse for debugging

[radiant kraken]

Oficial

the name NodeppOfficial is not even taken

time to troll them by taking the name 🛒

[quartz kindle]

lmao

i dont know how to feel about that

like, it looks cool but also cursed

[quartz kindle]

maybe its in another language, thats how you write "official" in portuguese btw lmao

[radiant kraken]

but i'm sure the project is in english

[radiant kraken]

why is this the first thing i see in my github explore page

[craggy pine]

Stop trying to use c and c++ to hack into the white house. It's obvious duh 🤷‍♀️

[nova steppe]

Hello,
Is it possible to do test votes to see if our code reacts correctly?
I thought it was possible, but I can't find it...
Thanks in advance !

[quartz kindle]

yes its possible, there should be a test button somewhere in the webhook settings page

[nova steppe]

I tried but nothing happens on my bot side, after that I don't use the webhook, maybe the problem comes from this side

[quartz kindle]

if nothing happens on the bot side, then it probably means its not receiving correctly

you can test using a webhook test client as well

for example https://webhook-test.com/

also feel free to show your code

[nova steppe]

after that I may have made a mistake, I used a test bot and not the one that is on the site, so it may not receive the votes...

[quartz kindle]

the votes go to the webhook url you specify

it doesnt matter whats on the receiving side

[nova steppe]

after that I don't use webhooks

I code in python for info

[quartz kindle]

what URL did you put in your top.gg webhook?

[nova steppe]

I put the url of a discord webhook

[quartz kindle]

thats wrong

top.gg webhooks are not discord webhooks

the URL must be where your bot is hosted

your bot has to receive the vote, not discord

[nova steppe]

I understood the problem, I'm trying to simulate a vote, but the test functionality sends to a webhook, but I don't use a webhook, I use the API directly

my connection is via this line, I do not use webhooks

[quartz kindle]

all votes are sent to a webhook, not only test votes

https://topggpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/webhooks.html

[nova steppe]

I don't use the WebhookManager

[quartz kindle]

if you want to receive votes, you have to use it

[nova steppe]

this event does not work to receive votes? Well it doesn't work for tests, but for normal votes?

[quartz kindle]

it only works if you use the webhook manager

the webhookmanager is used to enable that event

the docs are very badly written and dont specify that

you need to add this to your code

bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook("/dbl", "dbl_auth").run(PORT)

[nova steppe]

ah ok, thank you, but then what url should I enter to receive the votes?

[quartz kindle]

and in the top.gg website, your URL should be http://yourbothostingIP:port/dbl

what hosting do you use?

[nova steppe]

I host my bot on a PC

[quartz kindle]

then its more complicated

[nova steppe]

oh 😅

[quartz kindle]

the URL should be http://your.pc.ip.address:port/dbl

but your router will likely block it

you will probably need to power forward in your router

[lyric mountain]

and ask your ISP for a fixed IP

some charge extra for it tho

[nova steppe]

The thing is that it's a friend's PC, so I don't have access to the box 😅

Is it mandatory to go through a webhook?

[quartz kindle]

there is no other option

the only other option is using get_votes function in an interval

[nova steppe]

Oh yeah, not very practical...

Well, thank you, I have to go eat, I'll see how to do it tomorrow.
The documentation does not look very well explained, without you I could have searched for more hours! Thank you!

[quartz kindle]

np!

[nova steppe]

I'll probably come back to ask questions tomorrow around the same time if I can't make it, have a good evening! (Finally, it depends on the time at your place 😅)

[frosty gale]

brazil 💀

[nova steppe]

France personally 🙃

[humble gyro]

ayo the touch of making top.gg's name top.gg red

incredibly epic

[solemn latch]

👀

[wheat mesa]

CMake is a build system, kinda like gradle but not really

GDB is a debugger (I feel like this is self explanatory)

Also fleet is absolutely NOT lightweight

It’s just meant to “feel” light

[pale vessel]

u can learn both, why choose?

it's not like you're under a deadline

[quartz kindle]

hes under a liveline

[pale vessel]

so probably cpp

[tulip ledge]

but rust is more fun

[pale vessel]

completely true

[civic sundial]

its not registering slash command what i did wrong ?

[past field]

do you have other commands that register with slashcommandbuilder?

[civic sundial]

ping

[past field]

do you have the proper intents enabled?

[civic sundial]

didn't get it

[past field]

what is it doing when you try this members count command? application did not respond? and if so, are you getting any errors in your terminal?

[civic sundial]

his is what its doing no other command then ping

[past field]

but when you use /membercount, what happens? do you get an error?

[civic sundial]

nothing happend

[past field]

do you get “application does not respond” ? or any errors in your terminal?

[civic sundial]

no

[past field]

do you get an acknowledgement from the bot that the command was successful?

[civic sundial]

no

[past field]

so when you use the /ping command, it works?

let me see your /ping code in the js file

[civic sundial]

yea it dose

[sterile lantern]

are you actually registering the commands globally/to your guild?

[pale vessel]

maybe u didn't register the other command

[sterile lantern]

the code u have in member count doesn't automatically push it, iirc its something like client.application.commands.set

or guild.commands.set if you want guild specific cmds

[past field]

and does it matter that the memberscount is using slashcommandbuilder and the ping command doesn’t?

[pale vessel]

it looks like they're mixing different command structures

i have no clue how their handler works but if ping works then they have to change the membercount command code and make sure to register it after ping

[quartz kindle]

did you do this? https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-deployment.html#command-registration

[past field]

that’s what i was going to suggest

[past field]

yes i personally have, it was @civic sundial i think may need to take a look

[quartz kindle]

oh sorry, wrong reply

[civic sundial]

can you summery it that to long to read

[deft wolf]

XD

[quartz kindle]

the code you showed is only about handling the slash commands

ie: what happens when the user uses the command

you didnt show any code that creates slash commands

slash commands have to be registered with the discord api

for example, discord.js has something like commands.set()

[radiant kraken]

have fun

[quartz kindle]

https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.14.1/ApplicationCommandManager:Class#create

[past field]

i shouldn't have even said anything, damn

[civic sundial]

@quartz kindle like this ?

[sterile lantern]

is commands.create even a thing

im pretty sure its commands.set

[deft wolf]

The first thing is that you are missing () after Client, the second thing is that this function is a promise so you have to use either await or .then and the third thing is that I am quite sure that any type must be a number

[sterile lantern]

it also looks like theyre mixing code together

[deft wolf]

You also need to provide intents in the client, otherwise you will get an error

[civic sundial]

client missing intents

[deft wolf]

Yes, that's the error

[civic sundial]

which intents do i use

Intentsbitfield.Guild_member e like that

[deft wolf]

I have no idea, choose the ones that your bot requires to work

[civic sundial]

Me either

[lyric mountain]

hey look who I found here

ur back

[quartz kindle]

it is

set replaces all commands with a list of commands

create adds a new command

[radiant kraken]

how's c++ been going

[quartz kindle]

something like that yeah

btw you only need to run that code once

after its registered, you never need that again, unless you want to update the command or create a new command

you dont need to run that on every bot start

[sterile lantern]

oh ic, I’ve only ever used set lol

[civic sundial]

ohhh

[civic sundial]

@quartz kindle what the hell is this now ?

[radiant kraken]

why

[quartz kindle]

dafuq is this code lmao

[civic sundial]

💀

[quartz kindle]

you are reassigning commands.create to an object

you forgot the () bro

commands.create({ ... }) not commands.create = { ... }

also, the execute function has nothing to do with that, why is it there

[civic sundial]

same error

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[radiant kraken]

it doesn't look weird

which part looks weird to you

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[radiant kraken]

that's opereator overloading

and i can get why it can throw off most beginners, because it did to me once

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[radiant kraken]

i hate the fact that the first thing most people introduce C++ is thru std::cout <<

faithie people come from all sorts of backgrounds

here's a more bearable version```cpp
#include <cstdio>

int main() {
printf("hello\n");
return 0;
}

yes

[radiant kraken]

like beginners might interpret function calls as function << arg1 << arg2; which is absolutely wrong

[civic sundial]

is it C ?

[radiant kraken]

yes

C is compatible with C++

[civic sundial]

i learnd it when i was in 9 class at school

[radiant kraken]

sheesh

[civic sundial]

then python, then html css for web dv and js lilbit

[radiant kraken]

i learned C when i was 15 on my own because my school doesn't have any CS classes lol

i self-learned 100% of my stuff

[civic sundial]

Damn

[radiant kraken]

https://cplusplus.com/reference/ or https://en.cppreference.com/w/

they are quite technical though

C++ is not as centralized compared to Rust

[lament rock]

I don't touch java unless I gotta do something mc modding related. A lot of these languages schools have been advocating have kinda fell off and now they're kinda accumulating technical debt I feel like

cs is still applicable, but from what I personally have seen is mostly only applicable because of Unity

Id like to sit down and actually learn rust and cpp but rust's syntax turns me off so hard :(

[pale vessel]

rlly? rust's syntax is lovely

it's quite consistent and i like it, coming from someone with a JS background

[quartz kindle]

omg java bad js good ok

[lament rock]

Java is alright yeah from personal experience. I was able to pick it up quite easily after 6 years in js/ts, but I'm not a huge fan of the compile to java bytecode to later be interpreted. I guess it helps with bundle size, but :( readability goes to 0. I've had to edit java bytecode and I never wanted to uninstall my OS more

Been using fernflower for a while but I'll give that a try

how so?

I might actually start editing bytecode that way if thats the case

or wait im mixed up

ignore my mindless ramblings

Yup I mistook that for some program I used to remove some fields from classes preventing vanilla mc clients to join

[earnest phoenix]

just wondering is there a way to see if a shard server in a mongo cluster has failed via mongo js?

[radiant kraken]

lucky

i wish i had CS classes in school

stupid curriculum

wdym?

yikes

doesnt sound so fun

i was never interested in programming until i turned 13

...because of some youtube programming tutorial i found on my recommended

i think i got to discord bots when i was still like 3 months into learning

[wheat meteor]

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("this")

how i get the webhook-auth ?

[quartz kindle]

in your top.gg bot webhook page

[wheat meteor]

Ok, but in the webhook URL, how do i get the "server ip"?

[quartz kindle]

where is your bot hosted?

[radiant kraken]

your server's URL

[wheat meteor]

Discloud

[quartz kindle]

its your bot's ip address on discloud then

[acoustic bough]

you need to have your bot on a host that also provides you with an IPv4 or IPv6

[quartz kindle]

what kind of access do you have? is that one of those pterodactyl panels?

[acoustic bough]

probably

[wheat meteor]

Ok, thanks

[wheat meteor]

Wait

[radiant kraken]

dont use regex then

[wheat meteor]

Only this

I can't get the ip

[radiant kraken]

or at least only use regex for the most predictable parts

[acoustic bough]

then your host sucks

[quartz kindle]

do you have any way to contact the admins of discloud? if so, ask them

[wheat meteor]

Ok, thanks Tim

[radiant kraken]

nice

[quartz kindle]

https://docs.discloudbot.com/suporte/faq/ticket

[radiant kraken]

or just make a separate web server

[wheat meteor]

yep

[lyric mountain]

mobile browser detection

[acoustic bough]

that regex looks like it will break after a day in production

[lyric mountain]

that's actually the official way of doing it

[acoustic bough]

I honestly just use the screen width to find out if the browser is mobile or not

[lyric mountain]

until navigator.userAgentData.mobile catches on at least

[lyric mountain]

I also need to include tablets so...

[acoustic bough]

lol

[radiant kraken]

wait until i squeeze the browser window

[acoustic bough]

lmao

[quartz kindle]

i mean, what other use case would there be for detecting mobile devices besides screen sizing?

its not like browsers can access much of the device's OS

[radiant kraken]

request headers

user agent

[quartz kindle]

just send the screen size in the headers

lmao

[frosty gale]

[umbral lily]

What do people use for subscription services? Is it against tos to use a third party? Discord teams doesn't support my country.

[sharp geyser]

Why would it be against tos?

Discord implanted their own way to make it a little easier for people but if it doesn’t work for you then use something else

[digital swan]

Patreon is a popular one but I’ve found ko-fi has a wayyy simpler api and allows you to sell items/one off purchases and memberships

[umbral lily]

I really wish it did work for me.

Thanks. I'll probably be using node to interface if possible. Any suggestions?

I would prefer to automate it in the background.

[digital swan]

I use ko-fi personally so that’s all I can speak on but it’s a simple webhook like with topgg for receiving votes

https://help.ko-fi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004162298-Does-Ko-fi-have-an-API-or-webhook#h_01HP1SMJAKE2HQ82A5011Z5648

[umbral lily]

thanks. I'll roll with ko-fi. I hope they support Canada.

[digital swan]

Don’t just go with it cause a random internet man with a cat pfp said it’s good though

Do some research and see what would work best for you

Maybe there’s something better

[sharp geyser]

Just so you know you dont need to interact with the api yourself from what I recall

ko-fi has a discord integration

What if it's just a Honeypot?

[sharp geyser]

Ah yes, love it when it still creates the product listing as 0.10$

clearly what I told it to do

💀

wait

why the fuck

what is the point of that data field stripe 😭

[dusky idol]

Can you explain it now? I think I'd need it a bit !
I'm sometimes facing the "Connection Terminated" errors maybe due to the heavy demand as there's too many users using the bot now?

[pale vessel]

no way he's back

[north cairn]

hey guys
does cloudflare support hosting websites(free version)

without any troubles as it have with dc bots

[north cairn]

@quartz kindle sorry for the ping,but u will be able to tell better coz u know my situation

[solemn latch]

As long as it's a static site

[north cairn]

enlighten me on what is a static site

[solemn latch]

https://pages.cloudflare.com/

[north cairn]

bruh static websites dont allow changes

A static website is one where web pages are delivered exactly as they are stored, with no real-time content changes. In contrast, a dynamic website generates content in real time, typically using databases and scripting languages to provide interactivity and personalized experiences.

whats the use of static website then

make a portfolio ig??

[deft wolf]

Blogs

[solemn latch]

A lot of websites are static

[north cairn]

can someone give examples of static site and dynamic site

amazon must be dynamic right?
blogs would be static?!

[solemn latch]

Discordjs.guide could all be made static

The search functionality would have to be implemented client side, but it could be static

[north cairn]

give me some popular examples
that would help me understand better

yep so i cant really make a top level website without dynamic

[solemn latch]

What do you need that's dynamic?

[north cairn]

i can't store informations

[solemn latch]

Ah

You're likely going to have to pay for what you want.

If you don't want to have issues at least

[north cairn]

hmmmm
so atleast i can make some projects right?!

mayb a portfolio one
to -do-list would be dynamic

[solemn latch]

So a lot of bot websites are static.

Like a description and invite button.

[north cairn]

there are so many cons
u cant even do login system

[solemn latch]

If you want a login system you really really shouldn't use free services

[north cairn]

sed

[solemn latch]

Free services often sell information, by looking at what you put on them.

So any user data needs to be on a paid server imo.

Even if the free service generally can't see the data easily if it's in a database

[north cairn]

so for now,i wont have issues with a portfolio website with cloudflare?

[solemn latch]

You should have no issues

[north cairn]

general question
what cloudflare is for

it's free plan seems useless to me

[solemn latch]

It's not really a simple answer.

They have a million different features

The big ones I use is workers(lamba style serverless), DDOS protection, cdn, and load balancing.

If you're specifically talking about cloudflare pages, that's one of their smaller features.

It's not something the bulk of their users use

[north cairn]

hmm ok thanks

[quartz kindle]

static = html+css+js

dynamic = has a backend behind, ie nodejs, python, php, .net, etc

you can use cloudflare pages for static and cloudflare workers for backend

[north cairn]

IS IT FREE

?!

[quartz kindle]

up to the specified limits, yes

[silver jungle]

Is the Top.gg sdk safe to install now?

[quartz kindle]

https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/limits/

[quartz kindle]

its never been unsafe if you install from package managers

[silver jungle]

Okay thanks!

[north cairn]

ok thanks

the malware was never uploaded to pip/pypi

pypi has tightened its security by 2024 by deprecating password auth and enforcing 2fa

TS: is there anyway to simplify this?

basically i have a type for a nested object:

{
  a: {
    b: any,
    c: any
  },
  d: {
    e: any
  }
}

and i want to turn it into the type "a.b" | "a.c" | "d.e"

with all combinations of parent and child

wondering if there is a way to do that without two template types lol

wondering if there is something like ${keyof PlanetDataCache}.${keyof PlanetDataCache[keyof PlanetDataCache]} that would work

[frosty gale]

this is why i never make complex types in typescript

you focus more on types than actual code

[humble gyro]

check kotoba repo in top.gg

https://github.com/top-gg/kotoba

we do something similar to type i18n

[quartz kindle]

i managed to simplify it to a single template at least

[solemn latch]

Lol<K>

[quartz kindle]

pretty much

K extends keyof PlanetDataCache ? `${K}.${Extract<keyof NonNullable<PlanetDataCache[K]>, string>}` : never

without Extract it complains symbol is not assignable to string

@_@

is there any way to do a loop inside a type in ts? like instead of Lol<keyof abc> cant i somehow do the keyof abc part inside the type declaration while keeping the context for each key?

apparently this only works when definidng object keys:

type Optional<T> = {
  [K in keyof T]?: T[K];
}

it doesnt work if you do type = K in keyof T ...

nevermind i give up

once i do variable.split(".") i lose all type info lol and get reverted back to string

[humble gyro]

That kinda makes sense

[quartz kindle]

it does, im just dumdum

[lament rock]

pretty sure there is no split type so cant expect split to understand

[quartz kindle]

ye

[lament rock]

would have to cast which isnt the hugest deal

[quartz kindle]

honestly all i wanted it for was to get autocomplete in a nested switch case lol

im still not sure how im even gonna design this function tho

its a pretty complex/annoying one

[past field]

i’m still having trouble understanding how to set up better sqlite3 for discord.js v13

[quartz kindle]

what are you not understanding?

[lament rock]

The same you would for any structure

[past field]

can you send me the resource again? so i can look at it again

[quartz kindle]

like, the library docs?

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

or you mean the SQL language in general?

[past field]

i have no knowledge in sqlite, query language or anything lol

i want to have a database connected to my bot so i can have like a server currency, level system, leaderboards, stuff like that

[frosty gale]

just curious about modern js, does a for of loop over an array still incur a significant performance penalty as opposed to doing a for i arr[i]?

[quartz kindle]

sqlite has two parts:

1. the wrapper library, written in js (better-sqlite3)
2. the SQL language, which is what you use to run commands inside sqlite

[quartz kindle]

it should impact a bit ye

[frosty gale]

makes no sense

for of should keep things more on the native side

[quartz kindle]

for of invokes the iterator functions

[frosty gale]

with a for i youre basically doing 2 statements for 1 thing

[frosty gale]

javascript has iterators?
