I only tested on bun

so something may just not work on node

actually I think I already see an issue

ffs

http2 is the same except with binary frames

it has its uses and mitigates certain vulnerabilities caused by misconfigured servers which is cool

think browsers use it by default

but fall back to 1.1 no problem

http3 is completely different it uses udp for faster transmission

so it avoids the tcp handshake and error checking by using its own http optimized error checking

[quartz kindle]

ye but for instance, if you were to make http2 from scratch using only tcp

since http2 can work with multiple data streames in the same socket

its probably not gonna be that simple

to make it compliant with the spec at least

i would be very interested in making a quic ipc lib tho, whenever node decides to add quic sockets to its net lib

[lament rock]

Make your own impl

[quartz kindle]

yes, my own quic on top of node's net udp

[frosty gale]

http 1 is annoying as well since theres a lot of stuff

theres also chunked encoding via transfer-encoding: chunked which allows you to send a body in chunks

[quartz kindle]

as well as connection keepalive and shit

upgrades

and all other weird headers

i wonder why discord never implemented stuff like messagepack and protobuff for its ws encoding

as additional options to json and etf

protobuff would honestly be amazing for discord

[frosty gale]

yeah but probably for simplicity or they just werent aware of it when they started writing the api

json is extremely annoying to parse

i think javascript somewhere partially uses simdjson which is very good

simdjson is the fastest json parsing library since it doesnt parse the entire object right away

you iterate through the object and consume values once

so you can store parts of the json until you need them later and parse them

[lament rock]

I made a parser for my cursed json-like library that saves character space that just walks over the string once and adds properties to the current object as it traverses. Could add circular support at a later time but nah

It's actually easy to do

[quartz kindle]

i like binary formats so much more

sure they are not human readable

but they are so nice to make and parse

very fluid and very efficient

[lament rock]

can save more space at the byte level yeah but I needed utf 8 and less characters

[quartz kindle]

i never finished my binary format, is abandoned in a drawer somewhere

but it even had string compression

and context sharing

and fast object key decoding

and object key deduplication

lmao

[frosty gale]

is it kind of like json but binary?

[quartz kindle]

kind of like messagepack but better

it even had a variable bit length float format lol

instead of only float32 and double64

it was a very shitty idea i had but it actually worked pretty well

so you can store stuff like 1.5 in 1 byte instead of 4 bytes

[neon leaf]

I hate debugging
Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot write headers after they are sent to the client

[quartz kindle]

that error is quite self-explanatory

[neon leaf]

yes, it would be in 100 lines of code

not in 4000

[quartz kindle]

xDD

[lament rock]

skill issue

[neon leaf]

oh fuck

I still need to implement compression

[lament rock]

Worry about getting shit to work first

[quartz kindle]

compression is easy, just zlib everything

[neon leaf]

ye

my lib already parses everything

I just almost forgot

[quartz kindle]

ah well you also need to add accept encoding headers

but thats easy too

[lament rock]

Hey Tim, speaking of encodings, is wetf better than the etf enc/dec you had in tiny-discord that's also in cloudstorm?

[quartz kindle]

slightly better yes

[lament rock]

Time to add it as an optional dep

[quartz kindle]

decoding is mostly the same, only marginal improvement

encoding is a big difference

but encoding is rarely used in a discord lib

so i didnt focus much on it before

[lament rock]

Wouldn't be surprised if Discord uses your lib instead of erlpack

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[lament rock]

They would probably like more cpu time

[quartz kindle]

discord doesnt use js anyway

their own erlpack is a c++ wrapper for js and python

just to help people decode their shit

[neon leaf]

ok the issue, I am 99% sure is in here

but where

[lament rock]

ye ik

[quartz kindle]

is that the only place where you have res.writeHead()?

[neon leaf]

yes

write is the only thing called

once and the function returns

[quartz kindle]

i dont see anything wrong there

is write() only ever called once?

[neon leaf]

yes

I get one log from it per request when I add one

it doesnt die on every request though

OH

I may have found the issue

if (eTag) {
if (context.headers.get('if-none-match') === eTag) return rawContext.status(Status.NOT_MODIFIED, STATUS_CODES[context.response.status] || 'Unknown').write(new ArrayBuffer(0))

        context.response.headers.set('etag', eTag)
    }

so it is calling it twice

idk why it didnt log but alr

the code senses im tired i think

[quartz kindle]

hue

[neon leaf]

ah yes

nice bar

-1ms

[quartz kindle]

nice

[neon leaf]

sir

if someone provides a full response body, do I stream it for compression or just do it all at once too after compressing

[quartz kindle]

depends on how big the body is i gues

if its like bigger than like, idk, 100kb?

stream it, else compress at once, but idk

[frosty gale]

are there many uses for that level of precision though

reducing bits like that has its own overhead and adds complexity

so theres probably not that many uses for it if not many things have it

i dont remember what kind of precision you can achive in 1 byte

its been a while since i had a computer science class lol

but for that id imagine a 6 bit mantissa 2 bit exponent?

unless you want more decimals so a bigger exponent in that case

[neon leaf]

best programmer in the world right here

[digital swan]

obviously not it doesnt even work 🙄🙄🙄

[neon leaf]

smh

🔥 🔥 🔥

[frosty gale]

localhost is bound to internal connections only, silly!

[frosty gale]

something tells me this isnt ascii

[neon leaf]

pretty ignorant of me to think compression is just calling zlib smh

[quartz kindle]

i actually dont use the same format as floats, my exponent and mantissa are base 10 because i dont fucking understand dafuq they do

but yeah, its 1 bit exponent, 7 bit mantissa

then 2 bits exponent, 14 bits mantissa

and increase as needed

[quartz kindle]

you named it compressionSync but uses the async functions lel

[neon leaf]

is there something wrong with this? like it corrupts but on the streams the response is delayed by exactly 5 seconds?

[neon leaf]

smh

[frosty gale]

in school they taught us how to work them out on paper lol

its worth learning it honestly

especially with the things youre doing

[quartz kindle]

theres a thing with compression streams where it waits for more data before outputing anything

you need to explicitly drain it i think

[neon leaf]

ä

[quartz kindle]

but like, why overcomplicate it when base 10 is so simple and works just as good

its also faster than calling buffer.writeFloat32BE or whatever

[frosty gale]

how are you even storing it as base 10

i think you can but you will lose negatives and positives

or youll have to spend an extra bit to add them

[quartz kindle]

i put it in the flag

ie, have separate types for positive and negative

[frosty gale]

yeah the point of twos complement is to avoid wasting a bit to figure out positives or negatives

what youre doing is called sign magnitude

[quartz kindle]

yeah

but i already use 1 byte to get the content type anyway

so i dont lose anything

[quartz kindle]

give me a number example

[frosty gale]

what do you want specifically

[quartz kindle]

any float lel

[real rose]

https://tenor.com/view/math-numbers-confused-when-he-say-hes-straight-what-gif-7675506

[frosty gale]

2.35

[quartz kindle]

that will take 2 bytes

expo = 01
mantissa = whatever the binary for 235 is

so 10 bits

i know its dumb and dead simple, but it works quite well in practice, can save a lot of bytes if you're encoding a lot of small floats

like coordinates or something

[frosty gale]

its essentially how floats work actually but without the mantissa and exponent being represented in twos complement

the positioning of your decimal is probably different too

but same concepts

[quartz kindle]

yeah

[frosty gale]

do you understand twos complement

its a neat system

[quartz kindle]

but IEEE floats do some weird math shit

[hidden gorge]

whats IEE if you dont mind me asking?

[quartz kindle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format

IEEE = Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

[frosty gale]

ieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

how many Es do you need

[quartz kindle]

all of them

institute of efficient electrical electronics engineering extra economics entrepreneurship enthusiastic excelent excelled exceeded extra ergonomic entropic energetic energy erlang earth

[frosty gale]

that erlang was probably due to lack of words

can you make a discord bot in erlang

[quartz kindle]

probably yes, but idk

[low orbit]

Is it better to self host or use vercel for a nextjs app?

[real rose]

Depending, likely Vercel as it's built for nextjs

haven't used it myself but seems really raelly good

[timber hatch]

That's exactly what i told you zerls!

[real rose]

vercel does have limits for stuff like middleware to be aware of

[timber hatch]

Only downside of free tier imo is maximum function execution time. Something like 10s. Which isn't GREAT

[real rose]

hence why its FREE

[timber hatch]

yeah true

the $20 is great tho

[frosty gale]

how long do you need said function to execute

[timber hatch]

depends. something like ai image generation without using app router for streaming, can take upwards of 1-2 mins

[frosty gale]

fair enough

cant you offload that somehow though

idk

[spark flint]

use cloudflare pages for nextjs

its fast

[wheat mesa]

it's actually not too hard

Here's an example for 11.125
take the first part before the decimal point, convert to binary
11 = 1011
take the second part after the decimal point, convert to binary
0.125 * 2 = 0 + 0.25
0.25 * 2 = 0 + 0.5
0.5 * 2 = 1 + 0.0
(Stop here because you got + 0.0)
0.125 = 001
Combine them
1011.001
Convert this to scientific notation by moving the decimal point to the right of the leftmost 1
1.011001 * 2^3
The bits after the decimal point are now your mantissa
Mantissa = 011001 (Plus trailing zeroes and such)
If you're doing single precision floats (4 bytes), your "bias" will be 127 (for double it'll be 1023, follow the same process)
Add the exponent to the bias (the 3 in 2^3)
127 + 3 = 130
Convert that to binary
130 = 10000010
Then you have your final answer after you set the sign bit (1 for negative 0 for positive)
0 10000010 011001 (Trailing zeroes here for however many bits you need)
^ Sign ^ Exponent ^ Mantissa

This was an easy one since 11.125 can be perfectly represented by it but the only difference if it can't be perfectly represented is that your mantissa bits will be more detailed (Just repeat the process for getting the bits after the decimal point until you're out of bits)

Hope this was a decent explanation, that's what I found works best for me

[quartz kindle]

so the fraction part is multiplied by 2 N times until its a whole number?

sounds convoluted af lol

[wheat mesa]

Basically it's binary but past the decimal point

You know how binary goes 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, and so on?

[quartz kindle]

and for example, you needed to multiply 3 times, why is it 001 and not 10?

[wheat mesa]

It's basically the process for converting to 2^-1, 2^-2, etc

[wheat mesa]

You see the (0) + 0.25, (0) + 0.5, (1) + 0.0

It's the number in the front that determines the bits

Here's an example for something that's a bit more complex

[quartz kindle]

also why is the leading bit removed from 1011

[wheat mesa]

0.11 for this process would be
0.11 * 2 = 0 + 0.22
0.22 * 2 = 0 + 0.44
0.44 * 2 = 0 + 0.88
0.88 * 2 = 1 + 0.76
0.76 * 2 = 1 + 0.52
0.52 * 2 = 1 + 0.02
0.02 * 2 = 0 + 0.04
Repeat for however many bits your mantissa is for maximum precision

So you would get 0.11 is approx .0001110

[wheat mesa]

For the IEEE format there will always be a 1 there in all cases

So it just removes it since it's not significant and doesn't tell us anything about the number

[quartz kindle]

so thats where the precision is cut off

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[quartz kindle]

when you run out of bits

[wheat mesa]

That's where you lose precision

More bytes, more precision

[quartz kindle]

but basically

[wheat mesa]

But some numbers just aren't possible to represent perfectly in a finite amount of bits

[quartz kindle]

the whole concept of this format is to make it easy for the cpu to do math with it right

in some way the cpu can do fast math by moving bits around

[wheat mesa]

Yes the FPU is designed specifically around this format

[quartz kindle]

because from a number>binary>number conversion stand point, the whole format is super convoluted and makes no logical sense

which is where i look at it from

so its confusing to me

[wheat mesa]

It's for math and so that we can also represent very big numbers while doing big calculations with them

After all, we designed computers with the intention of using them for highly complex calculations

[quartz kindle]

yeah

i understand a bit better now thanks, but its still weird, because i can only see the conversion difficulty side of it

[wheat mesa]

I feel that it's partly due to the implications in astrophysics, where numbers are so huge but also need a lot of precision to work with

Since we basically worked on a ton of computer shit solely to go to the moon lol

[quartz kindle]

yeah

ironic that my api is precisely about that

[frosty gale]

hard wired to do these calculations its pretty cool

[quartz kindle]

but most of the bulk is done by a C library lol

[wheat mesa]

But yeah, I can't speak much to the actual hardware components, but I do know that there are circuits specifically designed to take advantage of this format and reduce CPU cycles needed for floating point arithmetic

[quartz kindle]

thats basically what vector math is for right

like AVX instructions and shit

[frosty gale]

yeah thats basically what it is

[wheat mesa]

Yeah SIMD is designed for that sort of thing too

[quartz kindle]

i know cpus have specific instructions dedicated to do fast float math

[frosty gale]

a lot of calculations it cant even do in a single clock cycle so it needs its own clock too

[wheat mesa]

Yup

[frosty gale]

but faster than the cpu can for sure

fpu's never used to be integrated in cpus

it used to be a motherboard addon

[quartz kindle]

3 complex 5 me

[frosty gale]

wired to the cpu

[neon leaf]

bruh

[quartz kindle]

cpu engineering is so amazing, i really cant grasp my mind around it

[wheat mesa]

It's interesting stuff but I really have no intention of studying more of the hardware, since I'm not a computer engineering major

[neon leaf]

compression didnt work because this.getCompression() returns brotli, not br

[quartz kindle]

ah lmao

[wheat mesa]

same, I just took a screenshot of my slides lol

[frosty gale]

im planning to design my own CPU with its own ram and everything with an FPGA

cool project for the future

[quartz kindle]

yourecrazy

[wheat mesa]

This is the stuff you're talking about with the SIMD instructions @quartz kindle

[quartz kindle]

ye

AVX-512 for example has 512 bit space of calculations

which can be divided into a ton of smaller ones

and be done all in a single cycle

looking at all of this crap makes you feel really small and humble lol

like idk why people look up to me, i dont know shit

[wheat mesa]

To be fair, a lot of people spent their entire careers studying these sorts of things in order to invent them

[sharp geyser]

Man some more nerd shit going on that I dont understand

[wheat mesa]

What may take us a few minutes to understand likely took a lot of very intelligent people a long time to come up with

[frosty gale]

i think for simd you need to copy over the data to some special cpu registers so whatever calculations youre doing has to be worth the transfers and copies

same with the gpu really

[wheat mesa]

Yeah it's in separate registers

[quartz kindle]

mathematicians literally spend years/decades on a single problem

[frosty gale]

its the optimizations clearly

if i need my js code to run the speed of c i know who im going to

[wheat mesa]

If you want the slides I have @quartz kindle I can send you a pdf

They're not super detailed but can definitely help with looking up more specific questions about it

[neon leaf]

why

[quartz kindle]

Z_SYNC_FLUSH is only for gzip and deflate

for brotli its zlib.constants.BROTLI_OPERATION_FLUSH

[neon leaf]

yeah, sadly doesnt fix the issue either though

[quartz kindle]

try zlib.constants.BROTLI_OPERATION_FINISH

since youre closing the stream anyway

[neon leaf]

nope

ohhhh

sir

I should not code while half asleep

im assigning content-length

yeah

works fine now

ok Im gonna go to sleep

[quartz kindle]

cool

[lyric mountain]

@rocky turret ah just checked modlogs to see what was the issue, how did you list that command on ?help?

like, how does it appear there?

[rocky turret]

[i for i in cog.walk_commands()]

you can't say role hahahaha command exists lol

[lyric mountain]

didn't mean that

how are you showing the command list to the user?

the help embed, not the code

[rocky turret]

I'm making a list of all commands from that cog and sending it

[lyric mountain]

sigh

I dont mean how you're doing it through code, I want to see how ?role appears on the command list

[rocky turret]

ok wait

[lyric mountain]

this is very likely why they thought there was a command named role list

[lyric mountain]

did you, at some point, have ?role list there?

[rocky turret]

that's auto, never

[lyric mountain]

do you have a help (or command list) command?

[rocky turret]

yes ofc

[lyric mountain]

how is that command listed there? (not the code)

just ?role?

[sharp geyser]

Btw your date field is messed up

[rocky turret]

dont care

[sharp geyser]

Just thought I’d point that out :)

[rocky turret]

let that die

lol

[sharp geyser]

Okay grumpy

[rocky turret]

(lazy)

[lyric mountain]

btw I HIGHLY recommend structuring your command list another way, there's no background color for inline code on mobile

ok so, my bet is that temprole list got wrapped, making it appear as role list

[rocky turret]

You mean this?

[rocky turret]

no connection between those two commands...

[lyric mountain]

what? no, I mean this appears without the darker background

[lyric mountain]

not what I said

[rocky turret]

But it helps user to understand it and make it highlight?

[lyric mountain]

I said that command might've been wrapped due to screen size, so instead of temprole list it appeared as temp
role list

[lyric mountain]

...you're not understanding what I mean

[rocky turret]

nope no way

[lyric mountain]

this for you appears with a black background right?

on mobile it doesn't

[rocky turret]

yeah

[lyric mountain]

on mobile all you get is the different font, no black background

discord changed that a while ago, don't rely on the darker bg

[lyric mountain]

it can happen

which is why I use column format on my bot's help command

at least there's no risk of mobile breaking it when there's only 1 cmd per line

[sharp geyser]

What’s the +2 for

[lyric mountain]

subcommands

[rocky turret]

doesn't happen with zalgo text

[lyric mountain]

zalgo combine with the original text, but what does this even have to do with what I said?

I'm giving u the probable reason as to why they thought ?role list to be a command

if you think this isn't the case, ask them

[rocky turret]

asked her she is off..

[sleek isle]

So I have this help command, it looks somewhat fine on pc, but inline not supported on phone, its super long and looks messy, any of you hvae any idea or tips for a good help command?

[lyric mountain]

coalesce subcommands into a single help entry, when possible

[craggy pine]

Could split each category of commands as a paginated help menu.

[lyric mountain]

that too

actually that alone should make it much more readable on mobile

[craggy pine]

Another suggestion not relevant to the question but should make the aliases consistant between the commands. Like chose a side you like them on since I'm noticing some are on the left side and some are on the right side.

[lyric mountain]

plot twist: list is actually an alias of l

ah yes, thank you

sorry, didnt got to reply earlier, was busy with works

is it possible to have text input parameter on a slash command AND a select menu?

[sharp geyser]

Well select menus can’t be user input text

Also iirc select menus values can be any primitive type

i ended up finding the document to do what i was trying to do lol

the question i asked wasn’t really clear sorry

[bronze plank]

Does anyone know that Restorecord leaks ip
Does Top.gg have restorecord bot on their site, if they do, it's a real bad situation

[deft wolf]

No, there is no such bot on the top.gg website because it is probably not even a bot, but rather a website/service that does not have a physical bot

[deft wolf]

Not every application is a bot

[spark flint]

yes

they dont have an official restorecord app

Hey guys, getting 413 payload too large using nextjs on vercel. I've set the config in my api route to an extremely large size just to prove to myself that this was not working regardless of the size i'm posting.

export const config = {
    api: {
        bodyParser: {
            sizeLimit: '1gb' // Set desired value here
        }
    }
}

but i'm still getting the error. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? (using cloudflare too in case that's relevant)

[chrome grail]

Cloudflare limits the request size by default if you're on the free tier

Iirc, it's like 100 or 250 mb - but you'd have to double check

[timber hatch]

ah okay cool thank you, found a reasonable solution.
convert b64 to blob url --> send that to backend --> convert back to b64

Hi,
I've stopped getting vote webhook calls from 8th April, nothing has changed my my webhook and I've verified the password, tried resetting the password as well. But still not receiving any new vote webhook events.

Any ongoing issue? or something that I'm missing?

[quartz kindle]

did you try a webhook tester?

[whole quail]

how to remove a bot from top.gg

[quartz kindle]

there should be a delete button in your bot's edit page

[whole quail]

is it existent in mobile view?

i couldnt see it

[pale vessel]

just add /delete to the url

[tiny ruin]

Yes, it says "Your test webhook request was sent!" but I'm not receiving any event

[whole quail]

thanks i deleted it

[quartz kindle]

i mean, a webhook tester like https://webhook-test.com/

put the test url in your top.gg and send the test there, see if it shows up

[lyric mountain]

+1 for that site, works without hassle

[tiny ruin]

Received the event there :/

[quartz kindle]

then the problem is on your end

where is your bot hosted?

[tiny ruin]

on a vps

it used to work fine tho, nothing changed on my end.. I'll try to check what's wrong

[quartz kindle]

double check your vps's ip, ports, firewall, code

use a request tester like https://reqbin.com/ and try to send a manual vote yourself to see if your vps receives it

[tiny ruin]

Thanks

[sharp geyser]

Oh cool an api testing tool that runs in the browser!

[tiny ruin]

Found the issue, thanks a lot for help @quartz kindle ❤️

[quartz kindle]

cool

[frosty gale]

theres not that many because it has to go through their server first

cors and browser restrictions and everything would otherwise fuck it up

[eternal osprey]

@lyric mountain , in java if we have a try-catch, if it's a regular exception that occurs in the code within the try clausule it will always execute the code in the catch right. Then i am a bit confused as for why we have throw?
Is it to define new custom exception labels? Like: throw new RandomFuckinName("some reason here")?

[wheat mesa]

Exceptions aren't always thrown by the runtime itself

Exceptions sometimes need to be thrown by the programmer

Like if you have a function called "parseInt()", you'd want it to return an int. But what if a string is passed that isn't parse-able? You'd need to throw an exception, something like IllegalArgumentException or something

[quartz kindle]

ye, its pretty heavily rate limited

if you need power testing, you'll need something stronger, like postman

[lyric mountain]

there are 3 types of (base) exceptions:

• RuntimeException: might happen due to input validation or other conditional errors, meaning that with proper handling it shouldn't happen (optional)
• Exception: might happen due to errors outside programmer's control, like IO issues
• Error: catastrophic errors that should never be handled, else it might cause serious runtime issues

all exceptions will inherit one of those, usually with a predictable naming pattern

as waffle said, most exceptions will be thrown by the developers themselves, to prevent the runtime continuing execution of that scope

let's take runtimeexception for example, a very common example is IndexOutOfBoundsException, meaning you tried to access an invalid list index

if it weren't for the exception, whoever is using lists wouldn't know about the illegal access, and the issue would be fairly hard to find out where it happened as you dont have a stacktrace for it

for exceptions, a common example is IOException, which happens when you try to read or access a file that either you cant or doesn't exist

[wheat mesa]

Personally I've always hated the exception system ever since I started using rust, but I can see how it was a major step up from C/C++ where an error was usually completely silent

[lyric mountain]

this type forces you to write a try-catch block, as it's an error that's required to be expected since it's outside your control

for errors, a common one is StackOverflowError, you know how it happens

once an error happens, the runtime is supposed to exit, as the side effects are usually catastrophic

you can still catch it, but shouldn't

[lyric mountain]

js is a good example of this, when shit happens you better call sherlock to find where the hell the issue is

good thing people adopted exceptions there

[eternal osprey]

ahhh i see

so it's basically to create specific custom runtime exceptions given your program and whatever you don't want to happend

arigato guys

[lyric mountain]

you can create any of those 3 types

but runtimeexception is the one mostly used, unless you want to force the dev to write a try-catch block

[wheat mesa]

Yeah the IndexOutOfBounds check is pretty much ```java
if (index < 0 || index >= size) {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Index " + index + " out of bounds for size " + size);
}

[lyric mountain]

I for example use a ConfirmationException to force myself to put try-catches whenever I use my command-lock feature on my bot

since it prevents using certain commands till the user confirms it

had way too many cases where I forgot about it and people could transfer stuff while in a trade

so forcing me to write the catch kinda helps remembering it

[eternal osprey]

i see that's pretty cool!!!

Idk i am trying to pick up some far-lost java principles that i once learned but didn't use for a year or two...

[lament rock]

This breaks my current understanding of js arrays. In that sense, are they more like Maps where each entry is keyed by something but by default when pushed it's the next seq number?

and an out of bounds check is as simple as checking if a key exists or not

If you pushed more data into this array, how would slice(0, -1) work?

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt

[lament rock]

oh it throws an Error?

[quartz kindle]

the array part of it only works on normal indexes

anything other than that is treated as an object

so its an array and an object at the same time

[lament rock]

Makes sense. Everything inherits from Object anyways

[quartz kindle]

ye

any key that is not in the 0-32bit range is not affected by array methods

can only be accessed directly like an object key

or using object functions like Object.keys

the -1 from indexOf is the "not found" index, not the actual -1 index (for clarity)

[civic scroll]

mfw keys are converted into strings

[quartz kindle]

yup

[lament rock]

I dont like Objects for that

[lament rock]

Or rather, Records

[civic scroll]

it's just js not being strict on being an array

[lament rock]

Had a bug in my lib where trying to get a shard by ID or finding it by ID would always fail since even though I assign a number, it's converted to a string

[civic scroll]

keys are always converted into strings

so it's advised that you do the conversion

or use a Map

[lament rock]

Yup

[quartz kindle]

Map with bigint

better than object with string ids

[past field]

is it safe to say djsv14 is easier to use than 13?

[lament rock]

I don't think it comes down to how easy it is to use. It comes down to which one is still maintained for the latest Discord API versions. If you're putting off updates because the lib becomes too difficult to use, then it's time to switch libraries

[quartz kindle]

the older the lib, the easier to use :^)

[proven lantern]

how would my slash command get a user that isn't a member? the slash command can only be used in channel
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-object-resolved-data-structure

[quartz kindle]

fetch the user

[proven lantern]

so they could still be a member even if they dont show up in the members object? this is the first time i've seen this happen

[quartz kindle]

huh?

i think im not understand what exactly you're trying to do

[proven lantern]

i have an interaction URL and my data.resolved looks like this

  "members":{
    "1":{},
    "2":{},
    "3":{}
  },
  "users":{
    "1":{},
    "2":{},
    "3":{},
    "4":{},
  }
}```

so they referenced a user that isn't a member of the server perhaps?

or discord just forget to send the member info for that user

[quartz kindle]

what type of interaction is that?

[proven lantern]

slash command sent from a channel in their server, not a DM

[quartz kindle]

and the command has an option to chose members?

[proven lantern]

it's a string input. they can reference multiple people per input

[quartz kindle]

string type? not mentionable type?

[proven lantern]

yeah

can you mention someone outside the server though?

[quartz kindle]

i didnt even know discord would resolve strings lol

[quartz kindle]

you can, just only those who are friends with them or share servers with them will be able to click on the mention

[proven lantern]

that's trick

y

[past field]

really?

[quartz kindle]

nope

[past field]

ohhhhhh ok i see

it showed up as the id for you

[quartz kindle]

yeah

it shows the blue number, but not clickable

[past field]

what kind of buttons are these?

[pale vessel]

most likely buttons with a zero width space as the labels

[lyric mountain]

\u200B in case u want it

Put that in a string

[subtle spindle]

Does anyone know why if I press a button on my bot a message appears that can only be viewed for me? I use the bdfd bot and I didn't put $ephemeral anywhere

[lament rock]

If you're using the app as a personal app, then all responses are ephemeral in guilds > 25 members

[rustic scarab]

You could also double check the events. Or use the search function to search for ephemeral.

Or yeah, could be a personal application as well. In that case, refer to PapiOphidian message.

[subtle spindle]

Oke thanks

It doesn't work

personal app in what sense?

[lament rock]

Apps that you can use anywhere even in guilds that dont have the app added

[subtle spindle]

Let me explain better, I have that problem with any command and this thing has been going on for a week but I haven't added any new commands and I haven't changed anything

[deft wolf]

BFDD don't have their own Discord server? I don't think anyone here is familiar with this program and how it works, so it would be better to seek help from a community that knows it better

[subtle spindle]

It is but nobody is online

I was hoping someone could help me...

[quartz kindle]

nobody here uses bdfd, thats the problem

[radiant kraken]

absolutely wrong

lots of bots listed on top.gg use bdfd

[deft wolf]

They are certainly not active on this channel

[radiant kraken]

yup

[lyric mountain]

that's what tim meant lul, that nobody here (active) uses bdfd

[deft wolf]

Broken indeed

[frosty gale]

funnily enough burp suite the tool we use for pentesting is one of the best http clients

because its for pentesting it supports basically everything you can do with http

other http clients i find to be massive bloatware

and they dont even do what their entire purpose is well

[frosty gale]

it lets you also manually modify the http 1/2 request so its great for testing custom http server implementations

[quartz kindle]

cool

havent heard of it before

[frosty gale]

portswigger the company behind it is very cool

they also have penetration testing labs on basically every attack there is completely for free

[past field]

ok so i have this giveaway command

how would i go about creating a new command that will end the giveaway, or reroll it? is that something i need a database for?

[quartz kindle]

most likely yes

[frosty gale]

if you really dont want a database you could just extract the data from a giveaway message if its there

fetch reactions to reroll etc

[sharp geyser]

So, I has a question for your very experienced developers

Does anyone here know of a service that allows me to verify people's age/documents?

[solemn latch]

stripe

[sharp geyser]

Stripe is for payment stuff

[solemn latch]

Stripe also does age/document verification

https://docs.stripe.com/identity

Its what discord uses to verify your ID when you verify a bot too.

[sharp geyser]

Oh really

That's cool

[past field]

well I def want to learn databases, but I was working on a giveaway command and it just made me wonder about making a reroll or cancel command for giveaways

and I assumed it would involve database with the logic i had in mind, but wasn't sure

[sharp geyser]

rocket

its not 1:1 to express

but its one of the best ones and has a lot of support

instead of middleware it has route guards

[radiant kraken]

rocket requires nightly rust, no?

[sharp geyser]

no

its just recommended

it will still compile and run fine

although null brings a good point, I highly recommend using nightly with rocket.rs (even if its not 100% required)

[sharp geyser]

most likely

[sharp geyser]

yes

definitely not the second one

the entire point of writing an api is to group the endpoints together

so for example, /guilds /users /whatever

[wheat mesa]

Btw I’d recommend learning rust before going into async rust. Very different languages

[sharp geyser]

I think he's been using rust for a while now

[wheat mesa]

Not for long enough I don’t think lol

[sharp geyser]

I on the other hand threw a hail mary and said fuck it

So now I am learning rust while learning async rust

[sharp geyser]

Just look at me, I didn't know a lick of rust

I went right for async rust

[wheat mesa]

Do you know C++ or much about memory

I’m not saying that it’s impossible but you’re going to make your life hard without knowing about memory

[sharp geyser]

Idk much about memory and im doing just fine

I only know the basics

like how it works

[wheat mesa]

Not understanding why the borrow checker is good is going to lead to a lot of clones and copies that aren’t necessary

[sharp geyser]

yea

me and the borrow checker have a love hate relationship

I try my hardest not to use any methods that create a clone

but sometimes I say fuck it

and sometimes its needed

Borrow checker is literally just references and pointers (from my perspective)

my rule of thumb is, always have a method accept a reference of something rather than letting it consume the value

this might be bad practice

but I find 9 times out of 10 I'd rather it accept a reference then the actual value, since i need the value later on

[sharp geyser]

Hm?

If you give it the value the function consumes that value until the end of the function

so if you are using the value after calling that function rust doesn't know whether or not it is free, because now that function has consumed the value

so you can either
A. Clone the value if it is clonable
B. Pass it in as a reference
C. Something else I have yet to figure out :)

[radiant kraken]

did i hear rust

rustup toolchain install nightly

[radiant kraken]

nope

if you want for whoever use the function reuse input value later after calling said function use a reference

otherwise, consume it

but misty was right, try to use less of .clone() or .to_string() as possible

you want to work with more of &T, &str, or &[T]

any type that is a reference yes

[sharp geyser]

imagine using generics

pfft

[radiant kraken]

i do!

:D

[sharp geyser]

I don't

yet

[radiant kraken]

also

if you can, try to play around with lifetimes

[sharp geyser]

I hate lifetimes

I understand how they work

but I dislike them

[radiant kraken]

I love lifetimes

I love them

took me around a month or two to get used to the concept of lifetimes lmao

[sharp geyser]

I don't even want to touch them

I've yet to run into a case where I actually need them

[radiant kraken]

struct Wrapper<'a> {
  reference: &'a String,
}

fn thing<'a>(input: &'a String) -> Wrapper<'a> {
  Wrapper { reference: input }
}
``` here, the returned `Wrapper` will have the same lifetime of `input`, as it holds a reference to `input`, basically Rust knows that `Wrapper` will never outlive `input`

the lifetime `a` here basically means that it will die when the `input` String is freed

[sharp geyser]

ah yes but

if you write code in a way lifetimes are not needed

then boom

:)

[radiant kraken]

(:

[sharp geyser]

I will forever avoid lifetimes until I actually need them

I know how they work

but no ty

also at that point why not use a string slice rather than String

[radiant kraken]

its just an example

[sharp geyser]

I know

I was just curious why you chose String over str

sorry

thats how you specify a lifetime

[radiant kraken]

it's a lifetime generic

[sharp geyser]

rust doesn't let you use ' except for lifetimes iirc

[radiant kraken]

here, the lifetime is a, you can name it anything u want tho

[radiant kraken]

and chars

[sharp geyser]

normal convention for lifetimes is to go through the alphabet tho

a, b ,c ,d, e ,etc

[radiant kraken]

some libs opt for a word

[sharp geyser]

yea

[radiant kraken]

but the standard is a single lowercase word yes

[sharp geyser]

pretty much

[sharp geyser]

Basically what null said is the compiler/runtime knows that Wrapper will exist as long as input does because it has the same lifetime

if what null said was confusing

[radiant kraken]

thank you for rephrasing it ❤️

tbf most tutorials/guides on the web about rust lifetimes suck

made me quit learning rust once

if you think about it, every rust reference implicitly has their own lifetime

[sharp geyser]

Right guys

Here me out, if I only want to verify someone is 18+, then could I not make a bot that reads an image of an ID, look for the DOB (Date of Birth) and then compare the date to todays date

Why pay a company an enourmous amount of money if all I care about is whether or not they are 18+

[radiant kraken]

well people could fake that ID

[sharp geyser]

who cares I am doing my due diligence

Discord can't blame me 😎

I also don't want to pay $1.50 to stripe just to verify someone's identity nor the other resources out there charging much much more

Pain in my ass ong

yes

stripe charges $1.50 per check if you use images

or $0.50 if you have them put hte information in themselves

💀

I am using python with easyocr

[radiant kraken]

tesseract?

[sharp geyser]

this only works for US ids tho who literally display DOB on their ids

foreign ids don't

tesseract is terrible ngl

It got a lot of stuff wrong

[radiant kraken]

what

most ids display dob

[sharp geyser]

Foregin Ids don't have DOB 00-00-000

[radiant kraken]

oh in that format?

[sharp geyser]

they index it based off numbers

like 1. 00-00-0000

US makes it stupid simple, because americans are stupid

they'd probably get the issued date mixed with their date of birth 💀

[radiant kraken]

icic

[sharp geyser]

https://hatebin.com/qsqqcikcdt

lovely lovely data

💀

[radiant kraken]

yummy!! data ❤️

[sharp geyser]

Lowkey fixing to say fuck ML and just do manual verifications cause like

fuck

too hard

no wanna do it

Honestly might

Also have to stress to people that all we want to see is their DOB and picture all the other stuff can be blurred

[radiant kraken]

cant wait to become ID reviewer of the month

[sharp geyser]

@spark flint

sir

or ma'am

[spark flint]

Hi

[sharp geyser]

How would you auth requests from a person (idk if I asked you this already). What I currently do is create a token for a user and then query the db based off the user id in the cookie to verify if the token sent through the auth header matches the token attached to the user id

[spark flint]

Do you use JWT etc

[sharp geyser]

no

[spark flint]

Because that ensures it can only be a token signed by you and then verified by you

[sharp geyser]

JWT are hard to manage since its stateless

you can't revoke them

[spark flint]

Otherwise I could just edit the user id in the cookie or token and impersonate another user

[sharp geyser]

At that point, its not on me 💀

If you leak your token then shucks

[spark flint]

lol

[sharp geyser]

Actually wait

this wont work 😭

FUCK

JWT are so weird though

You can't revoke a JWT so it just exists until it expires

but what if the user logs out

[wheat mesa]

Majority of companies that do ID verification of any sort have a manual review. GitHub literally does a manual review for your student ID to see if you qualify for the education package

[sharp geyser]

Yea I just don't know the legalities of this, as this isn't for a company per sey but for a server

[radiant kraken]

@quartz kindle @lyric mountain do you know how to retrieve the redirect URL by fetch()ing it? say https://github.com/actions/setup-node/releases/latest and i want to retrieve the https://github.com/actions/setup-node/releases/tag/v4.0.2

[pale vessel]

it's just res.url

[radiant kraken]

thanks

[frosty gale]

they do indeed

i literally just show them i have education microsoft 365 and they go yep youre in

bc we dont do student ids here

[earnest phoenix]

Yoo

Hello

[frosty gale]

yeah which is why i avoid JWTs

JWTs are good but you can mess them up easily as well

because youre literally entrusting the user to send a valid JWT that wasnt modified by anyone else

only thing between that is a cryptographic signature

and implementing a mechanism to invalidate them is annoying enough to the point where its just easier if you do a traditional session token

[lament rock]

Do any of you know how to make js async functions run as sync like if I can block the thread until the task executes, but for stuff like while, idk if it all runs on the same tick or what

If you ask why: exit handlers cannot have any async code or calls

[frosty gale]

theres actually a lib for that

https://npmjs.com/package/async-exit-hook

but not sure if its needed anymore meanwhile nodejs might have added a way to do async stuff on exit

@quartz kindle is probably more qualified to answer that

[quartz kindle]

not possible

[quartz kindle]

its possible to run async before exit on certain cases

[lament rock]

what cases are that

[quartz kindle]

there is the beforeExit event, but it only works when its a natural exit, not a forced exit/crash

then some termination signals allow for the process to continue

others dont

depending on the OS, the signal received from ctrl+C may be different

its probably gonna be easier to use a lib for that, theres too many different cases to handle

unless you know exactly the type of exit you wanna handle

[lament rock]

Any really

Trying to store music queues to resume later

[quartz kindle]

i mean, you could always use writeFileSync

and store them in a txt/json lul

but try one of those libs

[lament rock]

That's what I'm doing, but I have some queues I have to destroy cleanly which is an async task

[quartz kindle]

you can do the clean destroy on restart no?

[lament rock]

mm. I guess?

[quartz kindle]

or you can have a separate scroipt for that and run it using exec/spawn

[lament rock]

stripe doesnt either. Discord support had to adjust something so it would accept mine again

[quartz kindle]

in brazil there is an official government app that requires you to face id with your phone to login

they compare your face with the face they have in their records, which is the image from when you had your id card or driver license done

so yeah, it never works

and then after it fails a few times they lock you out for 24h

and theres no support and nobody you can talk to to get it fixed, besides going personally to some office in bigger cities

[frosty gale]

governments should have no interest in tech

they always deploy the modern way of doing things but they never make sure it works properly

it might work in development but in production theres a million other factors that come in play

to view my tax account i had to submit a few documents one of them being a passport from said country

but i wasnt from that country so i didnt have the passport they wanted so i was locked out from my taxes

until now a few years later where they actually fixed it and let you verify with other documents instead

[crystal wigeon]

[quartz kindle]

lel

[subtle spindle]

you were right there was an $ephemeral in the command for calculator and it was outside the customID

[frosty gale]

sure but its primary use is for your server to know and identify an oauth request

ideally it should be a completely random ID that your server can then lookup in some cache to get info about the oauth request

if it doesnt exist then it should reject it

[frosty gale]

you mean global variables?

but yes in the native programming world theyre called global variables

and they live with the program

i dont use rust really but id assume it would be just like defining any other variable except outside of a function

ill checkl

ah compiler even told me

rust has some of the best error messages of any language

but yeah something like this

youd use static if you need to share that variable and change it, and use const if you just need a value there and it will never change

kinda like an enum/constant

[sharp geyser]

That’d only be usable in that file btw, if you want to define something usable anywhere throughout the project check out once_cell or lazy_static

[frosty gale]

yep

show some of the code around it

but looks like you cant make it mutable for whatever reason

[sharp geyser]

He’s borrowing something that’s not mutable

STATE_MANAGER is immutable and you’re passing it to a function that expects it to be mutable

[frosty gale]

youre probably doing something wrong then

i assume its this call that wants statemanager to be mutable?

but that wouldnt be borrowing it?

[sharp geyser]

Yea, he said generate_state takes in a mutable self

[frosty gale]

ah

[sharp geyser]

so it consumes State manager

problem is, he is defining it as immutable

[frosty gale]

can you not make a mutable static variable?

you shouldnt have to do that

defeats the point of rust

yeah dont think you can make a mutable static

classed as unsafe

why does that statemanager needs to modify a reference of itself

[sharp geyser]

Question

Why are you wanting to make it static?

[frosty gale]

probably so the state can be shared across multiple routes/functions

[sharp geyser]

Okay

But uh

Rocket already has state management

[frosty gale]

that makes it easy then

i think anyways

[sharp geyser]

use dotenvy::dotenv;
use google_cloud_storage::client::{Client as StorageClient, ClientConfig};
use sqlx::{postgres::PgPoolOptions, Pool, Postgres};
use std::env;

pub struct App {
    pub stripe: stripe::Client,
    pub db: Pool<Postgres>,
    pub s3: StorageClient,
}

impl App {
    pub async fn new() -> Self {
        dotenv().expect(".env file not found");

        let connection = PgPoolOptions::new()
            .connect(env::var("DATABASE_URL").unwrap().as_str())
            .await
            .unwrap();

        let config = ClientConfig::default().with_auth().await.unwrap();

        Self {
            stripe: stripe::Client::new(env::var("STRIPE_KEY").unwrap()),
            db: connection,
            s3: StorageClient::new(config),
        }
    }
}

.manage(App::new().await)

boom

[frosty gale]

i need to learn rust

[sharp geyser]

now in your routes

just have
state: &State<App>

Easy as that

[frosty gale]

how is json support like in rust

i might write a small api with rust

[sharp geyser]

its stupid simple

use serde

and its realtively easy

[frosty gale]

looks good actually

looks like it will also verify that input is the expected datatype since you can define a struct as a template

[sharp geyser]

If you use rocket its even easier to handle json input from endpoints

use rocket::{
    http::{Cookie, CookieJar},
    response::Redirect,
    serde::{json::Json, Deserialize},
    State,
};

#[derive(Deserialize)]
pub struct Login {
    email: String,
    password: String,
}

#[post("/login", data = "<login>")]
pub async fn login(
    cookie: &CookieJar<'_>,
    login: Json<Login>,
    state: &State<App>,
) -> Result<Redirect> {...}

then its just login.email

though you can use the serde_json package if you are wanting to do it in any project

[sharp geyser]

Yep! It will also error if its parsed incorrectly

e.g a key is missing

[past field]

ok question.. might be a dumb question.

as far as the giveaway command that i was talking about

does it make sense to add a “reroll” button on the embed that announces the winner? like is it possible to have the bot retrieve the data from the collector of the lobby message and reroll it? idk if my question makes sense logic-wise

[craggy pine]

The way I handle a re-roll type of system in my giveaways is by storing the entiries in my database. The winner by default has a flag set when they've won so if they need to be rerolled I just grab the entries without the flag and chose a new one and flip flop the flag.

[past field]

ok i’ll have to study databases more, tim walked me through the concept and set up on the charts on better-sqlite3 but i’d have to read and practice it a few more times

[craggy pine]

I use Maria but I'm sure they're similar

[sharp geyser]

Not like that

yep

if you wanted just normal params you can also do /redirect/<code> for future reference

[frosty gale]

it depends what you do for giveaway entries

if you make people click a reaction to enter and that reaction is kept then you can fetch all reactions and select a random person

but if its a button or you remove the reaction then you have to have a database

id say its quite smart to make it a reaction since youre basically forcing discord to be the database

but then reactions can be unreliable and annoying

[past field]

i gotcha, ok i’ll just figure out how to set it up with sql

[frosty gale]

should be quite simple

first make a table for storing giveaways, in that table you should have giveaway name, giveaway id, giveaway contents, etc

then make a table for entries in the giveaway which will have the id of the user and the giveaway id it belongs to

[sharp geyser]

You can return pretty much anything

[past field]

will i have to have a logic coded within the giveaway.js for generating a giveaway id?

[frosty gale]

how you wanna make the giveaway id is up to you

you could make the database make one automatically by having an autoincrement field

or you could make your own by generating a random string or number and using it as id

or even use the message ID of the giveaway message as ID

shouldnt be too much logic though

[sterile lantern]

if i have a slash command, e.g /enter <username> and then it responds with two buttons, am i still able to access the value of <username>

when i log the data, its just the customId that prints

but i cant store it in the customId because it exceeds 100 characters

actually i can probably just store it in the msg ig

[sharp geyser]

Of course

username is a option

likely a user option

so you will always have access to it in the scope of the command

[sterile lantern]

actually, when you click on the button you dont get that information

[sharp geyser]

when the interaction is ran you do though 🤔

You'd logically handle all this in the command handler for that command

[sterile lantern]

im using cf workers so its not like i can use an interaction collector

its like a confirmation prompt

[sharp geyser]

wtf

[sterile lantern]

they run the command, the bot reiterates that info and they click yes or no

but i just parsed the info from the msg and it worked fine

[sharp geyser]

Who the hell uses cf workers to make a discord bot

💀

[sterile lantern]

started doing it for fun and it actually isnt bad at all

dont need to use any hosting services either 🤷‍♂️

[sharp geyser]

I mean fair enough get your bag

[sterile lantern]

its a pretty good free tier so y not take advantage of it xdd

[sharp geyser]

Won't be able to make anything super complex

but gl

[sterile lantern]

yeah its p limited, but works for simple stuff

I made a bot with a cf worker. It lets my mods run a /down command in my server when my bot / host is down which triggers a Pagerduty alert on my phone. Because it's a cf worker it basically has 100% uptime and will always work even if my host is offline.

I also host my status page on a cf worker

[sharp geyser]

Oh Im not saying its not a useful thing

I just have yet to see someone do much with em

[solemn latch]

I know 2 people at this point who use cf workers for their bot.

[quartz kindle]

the thing is

cf workers are good because of their edge network / global availability

which a discord bot cant take advantage of

since requests are always coming from discord's servers, which means its pretty much always the same worker being hit

all other workers accross the world will never be activated lul

[sharp geyser]

if only I could make a music bot with cf workers

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[frosty gale]

linklava server hosted somewhere

cf workers control everything else

[sharp geyser]

You can’t join a vc and receive gateway events

You’d need to be able to control voice state and listen to the updates

Unless lavalink has changed

[lethal linden]

hello is there everybody can help me with discord api?

[quartz kindle]

probably many people

[lethal linden]

I am trying to change the about me bot through api, the request is sent correctly, even I used toJSON
And I also sent the JSON data manually, but I get this error again

response : {"message": "Invalid Form Body", "code": 50035, "errors": {"_errors": [{"code": "DICT_TYPE_CONVERT", "message": "Only dictionaries may be used in a DictType"}]}}

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[lethal linden]

can you explain more?
I realized that I should send the request in json format. What do you mean by dictionaries ?

are you talking about json collection ?

[sharp geyser]

is that lua

dang

[radiant kraken]

yes it is

[sharp geyser]

haven't seen that language in this channel in a long ass time

💀

[radiant kraken]

i've seen lots of lua devs here from roblox

tho i rarely see people use lua for discord bots yea

[sharp geyser]

null, that is impossible

I'm in this channel 24/7 basically

😭

[radiant kraken]

why

[sharp geyser]

last lua code was posted in 2023 which was my own

[radiant kraken]

what

[sharp geyser]

cause I am a developer who likes helping others

[radiant kraken]

you used lua?

[sharp geyser]

ofc

[radiant kraken]

[sharp geyser]

I was working on that roblox database project

I had to use lua quite often

[lethal linden]

I have a mysql completion framework in lua that you can easily use if you replace it with the functions for sending Roblox queries.

It has the ability to backup at a specified time and upload it to pastebin or as a file or email and also multi db connection

[sharp geyser]

Oh, I don't code in roblox anymore

It was something I was doing cause I was bored anyway

[radiant kraken]

good

now you use rust 🚀

[lethal linden]

I never had fun with Roblox

[sharp geyser]

Roblox was always a hobby project for me

I never pursued it seriously

If it worked out, great, if not who cares

[radiant kraken]

everything has always been a hobby project for me

[sharp geyser]

cc is my baby tho ngl

I've put more effort and time into it than anything

[radiant kraken]

our

[sharp geyser]

ayo?

[radiant kraken]

[sharp geyser]

im kidding

Monday is going to be a big work day

[lethal linden]

im still problem ;‌(

[sharp geyser]

right

so discord expects the response to be form url encoded iirc

so you can't send it just like that

[lethal linden]

what is the right syntax to sending request?

[sharp geyser]

Actually they might not require it to be form url encoded, that might only be on the oauth2 stuff

try and send it as a stringified json

I wonder if that will work

[lethal linden]

 [ { "bio": "bruh" } ]

[sharp geyser]

wait

What you are doing is not even possible

There is only 2 possible things you can update

the username and the avatar

[lethal linden]

ops

[earnest phoenix]

Goodnight! I'm using typescript together with ts-node, and I wanted to know if there is a setting in tsconfig so that I can use ESNext (import and export) in typescript and have it compiled with .js files

I use ts-node in a testing environment (dev environment) and use import with the .ts extension, but when I try to run the code using ts-node, it returns an error, saying that it was impossible to find the file with the . ts in the directory

[sharp geyser]

Good night!

[radiant kraken]

good night misty

[lament rock]

In your imports, dont include the file extension

Of course at runtime it wouldnt be able to find ts files since it compiles to js first when you run ts-node, not just running raw ts files.

[frosty gale]

unless you wanna name it .ts.ts then yes

not even a terrible idea

makes it more clear its a typescript file

[eternal osprey]

hey guys

for fibonacci of 4 i got the result of 1.25

but i have no clue whether it's correct. i don't seem to understand the computation that they are coming up with

[surreal sage]

almost thought my ubuntu server got taken over

before i realized i was tryna ssh at root

[earnest phoenix]

but it gives me an error that the file was not found. If I put the .ts in the tsconfig extensions, wouldn't it work?

[past field]

what are some factors to consider when coding in raid protection

[lament rock]

You're doing something wrong then because you cannot import ts files at runtime

[sharp geyser]

Don’t

Discord’s auto mod basically handles this already

It’s not perfect of course but if you really wanted to you can make your bot work alongside it

[past field]

work alongside how?

[sterile lantern]

how come this isnt updating the msg with the button:

i click the yes button and want it to just disable the two buttons given

and then i follow up afterward

but its not editing the msg

no errors either, and i print the response and it looks fine

it just sends the follow up without editing the msg

msg isnt editing tho

[pale vessel]

is the original message ephemeral

[sterile lantern]

yes

is that why its not working

[pale vessel]

try removing that flag for update, you don't need it anyway

it wouldn't make sense for an edit to be ephemeral anyway

[sterile lantern]

still nothing

the components are disabled buttons

but neither msg nor buttons are updating

its still the same msg

[pale vessel]

you should still be able to update ephemeral messages so i don't think it's that

you can always try without ephemeral if you want to make sure though

[sterile lantern]

i tried without ephemeral

i tried just content as well

neither is working

and for some reason it still returns 200 so idk why it isnt actually editing the msg

[pale vessel]

one con of using a webhook

unless you're using the api

[sterile lantern]

it isnt a webhook, its just the bot

[pale vessel]

ah yeah because you got a status code

me dumb

[static steppe]

The bot status ain't updating
No errors

[pale vessel]

where's this from?

[sterile lantern]

cf worker logs

its the json of the response

{\"type\":7,\"body\":\"{\\\"content\\\":\\\"work pls??\\\",\\\"components\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":1,\\\"components\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":2,\\\"emoji\\\":{\\\"name\\\":\\\"✅\\\"},\\\"label\\\":\\\"Yes\\\",\\\"style\\\":3,\\\"disabled\\\":true,\\\"custom_id\\\":\\\"disabled_yes\\\"},{\\\"type\\\":2,\\\"emoji\\\":{\\\"name\\\":\\\"✖\\\"},\\\"label\\\":\\\"No\\\",\\\"style\\\":4,\\\"disabled\\\":true,\\\"custom_id\\\":\\\"disabled_no\\\"}]}]}\"}```
