ive been forced to learn more than i wanted about it since SD and llama came out
and i have done machine learning in the past so that helps
sharp geyser
definitely not professionally
math is not my strong suite
I'd never make the cut
eternal osprey
you need an undergraduate degree in mathematics first
to be fair, it's not crazy maths.
Weighted sums, entropy, conditional probability, learning parameters and formula's, model evaluation.
It's not that crazy. If you encounter the maths, you will most likely be able to get yourself started using online resources.
Also many different packages do most of the maths for machine learning. Most of the times all you need to do yourself is model evaluation and fixing hyperparameters.
But yeah of course, you do need to know some underlaying information about for example the different activation functuons etc.
frosty gale
i dont know too much about it but i know the deeper you go the more advanced some concepts get and you need to do some things on your own and know the maths behind it to understand how to better optimise the model
eternal osprey
i dont know too much about it but i know the deeper you go the more advanced som...
exactly exactly
that's true
frosty gale
for any university course for machine learning you usually do an undergraduate with maths alongside it as well
because some of the maths involved gets quite complex and not really something youd see in a high school setting
but once you understand some of these maths jargon terms then you can probably do it just fine
eternal osprey
Yeah that's true, but usually everything is done by the package or framework you are using already.
There's no point to reinvent the wheel.
Though, setting evaluation and tuning hyperparameters aside as that IS completely left for you to do as far as i know.
sharp geyser
Who uses libraries, im a rust developer. I am the king of reinventing the wheel /j
eternal osprey
Though we do have some specific functions such as inner and outer loop validation to tune hyperparameters but it's extremely inefficient.
Ew i am such a fucking nerd
frosty gale
Yeah that's true, but usually everything is done by the package or framework you...
if you are working outside of a framework environment and doing stuff a framework usually cant do for you or something like that then all that course probably goes to good use
but its probably also a case of "maths in software engineering"
aka in 95% of cases you only need high school maths
depending on what you want to do
but universities still make you do advanced maths courses
it might come into use for some advanced problems but most of the time you can use a library for that or quickly google

I believe I did state this once here, but I'd like to bring it up once again before I start working
I made my bot on atlas mongo db cloud database free plan, I wasn't expecting it to grow this much
Now that the bot has a lot of active users, the commands are often delayed and the bot responses are a bit slower than I'd want them to be.
I've a few options, unsure on which one to consider.
Data of all players is stored on mongodb ofc, and that's the only db I know how to use i'm pretty much a beginner at databasing
I can try learning SQL but I don't know where to start. I'll also have to re-write the entire bots code in SQL which does sound painful and time consuming. I'd also need some practice and guidance if I pick this way
Other is I could maybe buy premium version of mongodb, but i dont know if thats gonna fix anything or nah.
Would appreciate if someone can help me decide whats the best choice to make in my case before I proceed with anything :), feel free to suggest alternatives if you've any! I work with python ofc
Also apologies for yap wall man

Hey Zeksy
There is a cool thing called orms, you basically don't need to know any sql to use em
Just use an ORM if raw sql isn't your strongest suite. And what you can't do with the orm, they typically expose builders that you can learn what you need to execute raw sql queries

Object Relational Mapping
dusky idol
Makes sense
But what do I do with bot's database currently
there's a lot of data stored on mongodb ofc
sharp geyser
Well, if its mongodb the hassel free option is to just locally host mongodb yourself and port the data over
dusky idol
i can summon it and then add it to whatever i switch to
dusky idol

what do you mean by hosting mongodb myself btw
sharp geyser
The other option is to host a SQL database like postgres or mysql and port the data over to those, but since those are relational dbs they can get tricky
sharp geyser
what do you mean by hosting mongodb myself btw
You can host the mongodb server yourself...you don't have to use atlas
dusky idol
You can host the mongodb server yourself...you don't have to use atlas
Wait I'm currently using the shared plan on Atlas, so youre telling me if I host it myself it'll respond to my bot faster
sharp geyser
Well not necessarily
But you wont be confined to paying for atlas
If your db responses are slow then that means either the connection is bad, or your queries are terrible
Its hard to say without seeing code 
dusky idol
If your db responses are slow then that means either the connection is bad, or y...
i see, well the responses aren't exactly slow
its just that there are a lot of connections in one single command to retrive data of different types of a user
like the bigger commands have upto 10ish calls to database or so, sometimes even 15 to check and update data etc
sharp geyser
This is why you do connection pooling
dusky idol
let me throw an example
dusky idol
This is why you do connection pooling
Can you evaluate? Apologies tho, I don't really have that much experience 
dusky idol
Im too tired to explain what connection pooling is <:Sadge:746153451196645376>
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sharp geyser
Look at that link
warm surge
I just host my own mongodb server
dusky idol
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/connection-pool-overview/
I read it, got some basics to say the least
I believe if I do the pooling or whatever, it'll keep the connection open all the time so regardless of how many calls I make in a command it wont make a difference?
Half read half assumption btw ^
dusky idol
yay
sharp geyser
Basically, if you have multiple people running a command, and it needs to fetch from a db.
Well if a fetch is already happening, the other call has to wait until that one is done.
dusky idol
Basically, if you have multiple people running a command, and it needs to fetch ...
ohhhhh
yeh i see
sharp geyser
Whereas if you use a pool it can open new connections, and when its done cache them to be reused.
dusky idol
let me give you an example
sharp geyser
It saves you from opening a new connection each call.
dusky idol
It saves you from opening a new connection each call.
Our bot has a "reset" system, I'll explain it in simple terms so we can have a better overview
Basically, everyday at 12am, 8am and 4pm let's say the pulls for everyone resets, let's say all players can pull 8 more cards and run the jjk pull command
whenever a reset hour hits, the bot basically just becomes 10 times slower than usual as the whole world is pulling cards at once
Now that you've explained this, I believe this is what was causing the lag?
From what I'm getting for now, when more users are interacting with the bot at once, it will be slower as it is right now. But if I implement pooling, it will be solved? Correct me if I'm wrong tho
sharp geyser
Well yea if you are running on one command it will be comparitively slower
DBs are meant to be able to handle that, but if its a large number of users making the same command call then it will get very very slow
dusky idol
Well yea if you are running on one command it will be comparitively slower
Yeh it's like 100s of players run the pull command at a reset hour
sharp geyser
DB pooling can lessen the burden
though its not guranteed to help 100%, as it also depends on how you are making these calls.
dusky idol
I see, lessen doesn't mean resolving it tho
sharp geyser
But it will make it smoother experience for the users
dusky idol
though its not guranteed to help 100%, as it also depends on how you are making ...
lemme just throw some example code, a second
sharp geyser
I see, lessen doesn't mean resolving it tho
You wont ever be able to resolve it 100%
thats the sad reality of the world of the internet.
There will always be some lag, its just it can be unnoticeable
dusky idol
You wont ever be able to resolve it 100%
patreondb = await self.bot.db.patreon.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})
if not patreondb:
return await ctx.reply(f"Only Hollow Purple users can access this command")
if patreondb["rank"] != "hollow purple":
return await ctx.reply(f"Only Hollow Purple users can access this command")
pullerIds[str(ctx.author.id)] = datetime.now().timestamp()
find_cooldown = await self.bot.db.cooldown.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})
if not find_cooldown:
await self.create_cooldown(ctx.author)
cooldownData = await self.bot.db.cooldown.find_one({"_id": ctx.author.id})
GlobalPullDB = await self.bot.db.globe.find_one({"_id": "pull"})
Like this block has 4 calls, it's a big command tho and the last part has some update_onecalls too
Usually the command responds within 3-5 seconds, during reset hours it can turn into 5-15 seconds even which is a big problem
dusky idol
There will always be some lag, its just it can be unnoticeable
I got you, I messaged a friend regarding the issue earlier, he's also pretty much a newbie tho
What he told me is, if I switch to SQL it'd never cause any lag as sql is an in-code database and not hosted on cloud unlike mongodb so the bot wont have to build any connection of any sort
He works with sql so he might just be biased, but his suggestion was to try and re-write everything in sql to kill the problem
sharp geyser
Your friend is wrong
SQL is not a in-code database as they say.
While yes you can store it on the file system like with sqlite, there is also cloud dbs that require a server like postgres and mysql.
dusky idol
Your friend is wrong

then doesnt it just depend on host's power
sharp geyser
That is something I myself have no idea about. I haven't used Sqlite enough to know how it works fully. All I know is its a disk database.
You access the db file directly
Unlike postgresql where you open a tls connection to it
sharp geyser
@quartz kindle or @lyric mountain is probably better suited to talk to you about databases though.
I have very limited knowledge compared to them
I wouldn't be surprised if tim could make his own db with the knowlege he has 
sharp geyser
Yep makes sense
Good luck, and definitely use connection pooling
It will help
Usually you can also set the max connection as well if you want to fine tune it
dusky idol

amazing
dusky idol
Good luck, and definitely use connection pooling
Could you tell me how to start with connection pooling then , I doubt id have to make any incode changes for all commands
sharp geyser
uh no idea how you do it in mongodb
and depending on what library you are using it might differ
dusky idol
and depending on what library you are using it might differ
Fair enough, I'm using motor if that helps
from motor.motor_asyncio import AsyncIOMotorClient
cluster = AsyncIOMotorClient(["connection string"])
Bro the docs for that library are so bad 😭
Well I mean, it looks like it already has the default pool size set to 100 connections
Which ideally should be more than enough tho idk how large your bot is
dusky idol
Well I mean, it looks like it already has the default pool size set to 100 conne...
oh the shared cluster you mean
im on this tier
it says 500 max connections and bla bla but also low network performance
that could be the red flag maybe
sharp geyser
Well by default your library only allows 100 max concurrent settings.
You can ofc change this.
rose warren
So update, this doesn't work lol
I just get a "Missing Access" error when I try and add the new member to the thread on the guildMemberAdd event even though I've already given them a role, the bot is in the thread it made and the bot has admin. I also tried setting their rules flag to force accept the rules before trying to add them and it doesn't make a difference. Not sure what's up but it looks like some sort of Discord issue since I can't even add them to the threads with my own account as the server owner.
It used to work perfectly just tagging them in the new thread until about a week ago
sharp geyser
Hello gamers
Got a database question. I am trying to bulk update user settings right now, which means I need to find a way to also reflect this in the database. Right now we are thinking of dynamically creating the sql query, but this seems like a bad idea. As usually dynamically creating sql queries is never a good idea. What do you guys recommend doing?
rose warren
Wdym dynamically creating them is a bad idea?
sharp geyser
as in, taking the json response, looping over it, and dynamically creating the query string based on that.
Its not sanitized, and although the chances of them inserting anything bad is low, its not impossible for bad actors to do so.
I'd like to mitigate that if possible
rose warren
I'm not sure what you're trying to do? What's the json response from? Are you just trying to do a one-off bulk update for all users or is it something a user can trigger? I don't understand.
sharp geyser
Well the response is from the frontend. Kind of like discord's setting pages for servers where you can edit multiple things at once and save it all at once as well. I am trying to go for that effect as well.
The only thing is, if they know the endpoint and they have their student_id (which is saved in the cookie rn cause we have no session management) and their token they can make any requests to the endpoint with whatever data as long as it matches the struct
rose warren
So you just want one user to be able to update all of their settings using one sql query basically?
sharp geyser
Essentially, it'd be better than running multiple queries
rose warren
Ofc
Idk how your settings are structured but i'm guessing you store settings in json format?
sharp geyser
No
They are individual fields
{
"account:" {
"setting1": "somevalue",
"setting2": true
}
}
is more or less what we do rn
rose warren
Well if you're using prepared statements on the backend you should be ok afaik?
sharp geyser
yes & no
prepared statements would definitely help, but in our case when we are handling multiple fields it is kinda where it gets weird
rose warren
How?
sharp geyser
Well, we don't know off hand what fields we are updating, we have to rely on the json given to the endpoint to know.
sharp geyser
Oh for the love of god no
rose warren
Why not?
sharp geyser
That would require having the old settings as well
just so we don't accidentally overwrite them
rose warren
So you only pass the updated settings to the backend?
sharp geyser
I mean, its realistically not alot. But I see no point in sending data we don't need back and forth. Not to mention some settings are sensitive
We can ofc omit them, but in rust omitting fields is a little meh
I'd rather avoid the need to omit the fields we don't need and just not send them period
rose warren
Oh rust. You're trying to be 1000% optimised. Good luck 
rose warren
I have no better solutions for you then
sharp geyser
In reality we chose rust cause its what we both now me know. Its type safety and memory efficient
sharp geyser
I have no better solutions for you then <:mayaLaugh:1091251004101644308>
I mean..its not like what I am asking is specific to rust persey.
But thats fair thanks for the help you did provide!
rose warren
My other alternative was fetch the user on the backend, compare the updated json to the fetched data and then build a prepared update statement based off that which updates / overwrites all settings.
But that's 2 sql queries and since you've mentioned the 4 letter R word you probably won't want to
rose warren
I don't see how you'd do it otherwise
Based off what you told me
- Send all settings to the backend and send one update query.
- Send only updated settings and fetch, merge changes and update the user on the backend.
sharp geyser
I am now realizing that maybe that won't work :^)
Not all settings are in the same table. There are account settings and then other settings as well not stored in the account table
rose warren
I don't see how a dynamically generated query could have solved that either then?
sharp geyser
we'd be able to set which table we are updating
warm surge
So update, this doesn't work lol
damn.
dusky idol
Well by default your library only allows 100 max concurrent settings.
I'll get back to the conversation once I wake up, will probably need you to tell me more about it . Appreciate the help tho nonetheless

Depends on what you mean by "popular". Top.gg is not the only bot list, you can add your bot to many such lists and have a greater chance of reaching users. The uniqueness of your bot is also important, multipurpose bots have it much more difficult because there are thousands of them
lyric mountain

fairly sure bots like loritta or karuta became popular because of topgg
and their active advertising

- make sure your bot is actually good and worth using
- make a good looking website for it and invest on building an online presence
- post on social media and/or pay for ads on google/facebook/instagram/tiktok, try to build a community
- ???
- profit
- realize all your hard work is not paying off because your bot simply isnt that good

Anyway onto dev stuff.
Since text in postgres is not super efficient to use if you aren't storing large globs of text, then you're supposed to use varchar right? Well is it really okay to just keep doing varchar(255) ?
The point of varchar is to specify the size, but since I don't always know the size of things, unless I am controlling it myself then I am kind of forced to use it like that just to be on the safe side.
lyric mountain
you can guess what would be the maximum size and then add some more
for example, on an email it'd never reach 100 characters
lyric mountain
even 50 is a bit of stretch
sharp geyser
Do they limit the size of emails now?
solemn latch
Honestly, I dont think it matters does it?
Unless you have a massive database I don't think you'll ever notice performance or storage issues because of text vs varchar.
sharp geyser
hm
ok
yea I doubt I'd run into an email that is that long
and if I do they can take the cake
sharp geyser
Honestly, I dont think it matters does it?
Unless you have a massive database I ...
Well, I am expecting a lot of data to be stored.
Like alot
lyric mountain
also yeah, u can use varchar(255) where ur unsure, it'll resize down to actual data size
plus 2 bytes
lyric mountain
that'd be char(255)
sharp geyser
ah
lyric mountain
varchar stands for variable char
lyric mountain
yes, it'll give u an error if you try to insert something bigger
lyric mountain
I use varchar(255) on my bot for urls
but if u want to cover every case, maximum valid url size is 2048
sharp geyser
I'd need to store a list or an array of them
lyric mountain
average url size is 75 according to stack
sharp geyser
I store the cdn links for the product images
lyric mountain
ah, child table then
sharp geyser
Really
All it is just a link, I can't just store it in an array
Doesn't seem to warrant a whole new table
lyric mountain
fat columns are worse than another table
simple thing, just parent_id, id and url
sharp geyser
😔
lyric mountain
id being sequential
solemn latch
fat columns are worse than another table
I still always struggle with this concept.
lyric mountain
if you really want to avoid another table, then you can use a json column
json includes both {} and []
sharp geyser
I still always struggle with this concept.
I mean I get where he is coming from, in a relational database, if you are finding yourself storing an array on the table 9/10 times you're doing something wrong
A relational database is meant to map out relations of data you are storing.
Its optimized for it as well, it just is a little annoying imo having to query for it.
lyric mountain
I still always struggle with this concept.
it's faster to move 2 small freezers in 2 cars than to move 1 large freezer in 1 car
sharp geyser
Cause there will be cases where I might need information on the account, and then I also have to get the image urls at the same time
lyric mountain
also you risk getting your car broken and causing a congestion in traffic
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html in case u want to read on postgres json type
sharp geyser
w3 sucks at explaining anything
solemn latch
I mean, I understand it.
At the same time, its just weird that adding more tables is so often better.
sharp geyser
its meant and optimized to handle such things.
honestly I sometimes feel like the array data type was added just to make people happy 💀
I hardly ever use it myself
lyric mountain
I do use a json column on my bot, for storing match history
solemn latch
I use Json for storing discord embeds 👀
lyric mountain
cuz the data simply cannot be converted to a table
sharp geyser
that's fair
sharp geyser
I use Json for storing discord embeds 👀
you store embeds?
lyric mountain
custom embeds likely
solemn latch
yeah, webhook-topgg v2 does

sharp geyser
didnt you use websockets at one point for that project
solemn latch
I dont have time to give support to people. or I just dont want to
sharp geyser
I know there is LEFT JOIN, INNER JOIN, and just JOIN (possibly missing a few) wtf are the differences
lyric mountain
I have a neat graph for this, sec
lyric mountain
sharp geyser
ngl, thats even more confusing
lyric mountain
left gets the left table, with null entries when there's no match on the right side
sharp geyser
I dont have time to give support to people. or I just dont want to
Felt that, link me to the project I will become your support lead /j
lyric mountain
right join is the opposite
lyric mountain
LEFT JOIN = A required | B optional
RIGHT JOIN = A optional | B required
INNER JOIN = A required | B required
OUTER JOIN = A optional | B optional
hm
lyric mountain
A being whatever is before the JOIN keyword, B being what's after
sharp geyser
So basically lets say I have Table A and Table B, in the scenario of LEFT Join if table A returns null then it will only return B or will it error?
lyric mountain
LEFT will fill with null on the B side
like, "Get everything on A, fill B with null if nothing matches"
sharp geyser
🤔
I think I get it now
So you use LEFT Join when you are okay with B possibly being null
lyric mountain
like when you want the data, you dont care if there are orphans or rows without head
you want the data now
you'll usually use inner, then left sometimes
right is pretty rare, outer means ur doing something wrong
lyric mountain
there's also lateral join, when you dont want to link data, you just want them on the same query
sharp geyser
why so many joins
lyric mountain
SELECT * FROM tableA a, tableB b basically
sharp geyser
fair enough
as jack harlow said "I got options"
Now then, off to fuck up my db tables even more!
Also wait
in regards to the product image table
Should I put the FK on the product table or the image table
lyric mountain
image
you cant reference all images from product table
but you can reference a single product from images
sharp geyser
Also, I was thinking of storing how many products the person already has listed in the seller table, though that would honestly just add another db call that i'd have to make
actually then again not really.
lyric mountain
dont be afraid to make read calls, those are the fastest to execute
sharp geyser
👍
So if I am wanting to get the product images, but also the product information would I just inner join on the product_image table?
something like
SELECT * FROM product_image pimg INNER JOIN product p WHERE pimg.product_id = id
idk how the hell this works yet so I am taking a wild guess
sharp geyser
how would that look then, cause I feel like even what I was doing is syntaxically wrong
ionic schooner
thats very interesting
lyric mountain
SELECT * FROM product p INNER JOIN product_image pi ON pi.product_id = p.id
I didn't know you could create aliases like that
sharp geyser
yes but you are telling it a product id to look for
lyric mountain
just add a where after it
sharp geyser
Oh, ok I was confused I thought ON was like that
never even seen the ON keyword before
sharp geyser
SELECT * FROM product p INNER JOIN product_image pi ON pi.product_id = p.id WHERE product_id = id
?
lyric mountain
yep
lyric mountain
either will work, they're the same value
sharp geyser
oh okay
lyric mountain
just remember to use aliases when working with join
else it'll throw an error if a column with that name exists on both sides
sharp geyser
so WHERE pi.product_id = id?
lyric mountain
yes, if id is a param
lyric mountain
yw
sharp geyser
hopefully my current db tables are now properly made
ima cry if I have to rework them again
lyric mountain
either will work, they're the same value
btw, this only applies when using inner join
since with left/right one of the sides might be null
sharp geyser
Oh thanks :D
sharp geyser
btw, this only applies when using inner join
I also added a fk on the product table for the business_id
so we can link products to business accounts

Hey folks! 
General question for all:
How do you go about collecting feedback from users about your bot(s)? More specifically, do you rely solely on users joining your bot support server and reaching out there? Or do you have a feedback mechanism of some description that enables users to provide feedback remotely from their servers?
Thanks!
sharp geyser
Well, you can do it several ways. Direct them to your discord server, or you can make a command for collecting feedback. Personally with the new modals i'd opt for making a command as its easier and some people are less prone to joining servers. You can just have it send to a webhook integrated into a channel of yours :D
solemn latch
Honestly, if your bot has enough traction to get useful feedback they will give feedback

@lyric mountain I am running into some issues regarding the new db configuration you helped me with.
I am noticing that due to me creating a fk between the id field on the business table and the business_id field on the product table I am needing to keep a lot more data in session than I would initially like. I mean its not necessarily a problem, but as it stands now I keep the student_id generated by the table, the account id generated by stripe when I create a connect account, and now the business id generated by the table, which also holds the account id generated by stripe.
Is it ok to not create a fk with the primary key of a table? If so that would be more ideal
real rose
Is it ok to not create a fk with the primary key of a table? If so that would be...
of course (i believe) your FK does not have to be a primary key
you just need to make sure its still unique

Oh I have a funny little bug I can't solve myself
For some reason sqlx thinks I am trying to parse a string into i32

Well by default your library only allows 100 max concurrent settings.
Let's change it now! So could you guide me on how to do that? I tried researching and can't really find anything related
Also I'd appreciate if we can also build a connection pool for mongodb
dusky idol
Ima be real I cannot
yeh fair enough, could you tell me if there's someone I could get help from
sharp geyser
As far as the people I know, no one uses that lib
Though, it really shouldnt be hard to figure out if you read the docs for the library.
I just don't know where to look myself
dusky idol
I just don't know where to look myself
I see, let me summarize it for myself once
The library I'm using only allows me to have 100 connections open at once or something
I can reduce the lag to some extent if I do connection pooling
Both points are correct?
sharp geyser
Connection pooling can indeed help mitigate the lag.
If you are running into lag and it indeed is a connection issue that is
dusky idol
If you are running into lag and it indeed is a connection issue that is

but its all in a youtube video so idk how tf they expect people to find whats hidden
I've examined every frame, looked at the audio I could
frosty gale
i wouldnt trust that to remain in there after youtubes compression unless they posted the raw file somewhere
or theyve done something else to it
sharp geyser
Yea
I've grabbed the video and messed with the contrast to see if there is anything hidden, but that doesn't seem to matter
frosty gale
its probably a lot more complex than that

Did you set it to a port thats already being used?
dense berry
I don't think so since it logs that the vote listener is listening on that port right?
solemn latch
webserver is listening to 2000, but something else on the server/computer could already be using 4599
dense berry
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Vote listening on port ${PORT}`);
});
If that were true, it shouldn't send this console message idk
solemn latch
is your bot sharded?
dense berry
yeah
solemn latch
well thats likely it, you're running this code on each shard. so its opening the first one, then the second shard launches and it cant open on the same port
dense berry
ah
solemn latch
my reccomendation is only let it run on the first shard, then use broadcast/broadcast eval if you need it to run on a specific shard.
dense berry
oh that's smart
dense berry
Anyone know why when trying to export this function, the bot initialization stops half-way through?
export async function isLockedCommand(commandName, userId) {
try {
const voted = await hasVoted(userId);
if (!voted) {
const lockedCommands = ['bassboost', 'volume', 'web', 'vocalboost', 'setdjrole', 'loop', 'shuffle'];
if (lockedCommands.includes(commandName)) {
const user = await client.users.fetch(userId);
const embed = EmbedGenerator.Error({
title: 'Error!',
description: 'In order to use this command, you must `/vote`.',
});
await user.send({ embeds: [embed] });
return true;
}
}
return false;
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error in isLockedCommand:", error);
return false;
}
}
Any errors?
dense berry
None, which is why it's weird. It just stops @ "database initialized"
dense berry
import { isLockedCommand } from '../../events/interactionCreate/vote.js';
export async function run({ interaction }) {
if (!interaction.inCachedGuild())
return;
await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true });
const userId = interaction.user.id;
const isLocked = isLockedCommand(data.name, userId);
if (isLocked) return;
okay, then isLocked is returning true so that narrows it down
The only case it returns true is if they have not voted, and if they are running a command that is vote locked
So log voted and your if statement condition lockedCommands.includes(commandName)
dense berry
How come it just stops the bot init?

@sharp geyser Hey I had to ask smth
Let's say for example theres a command sending a request to mongodb and 20 people run it at once
How will the bot fetch data in such case?
Is it going to be one by one, like it takes first request, gives data back and so on 20 times
Or the amount of requests doesn't matter it'll just take all 20 requests at once and give data?
Because if it's the first case, I can see where the delay is coming from
sharp geyser
Realisitcally that's fine.
It creates 20 different connections, and when its done with the data closes those connections.
Databases though are meant to be able to handle that much at least.
(I might be wrong on the part about it creating 20 separate connections)
wheat mesa
Yeah that's not right
sharp geyser
Thought so
wheat mesa
Connections != requests
sharp geyser
wheat mesa
If you set it up like that then sure you could probably have a pool of 20 connections but realistically you probably have 1 connection
20 requests is absolutely nothing for a db though
sharp geyser
Yea
Once it starts getting into the hundreds of thousands is probably where it starts tripping up right?

20 requests is absolutely nothing for a db though
I just took that as an example number,
by "connection" or "request" i meant stuff like:
data = await bot.db.economy.find_one()
etc.
If 100s of people are running the command at once, it does make the bot slow overall I assume because that's what is happening.
I was wondering if the database replies to all such requests individually or it takes them all in at once

its because I am setting content-length
frosty gale
seems to work as well
frosty gale
my head is breaking
```
node:_http_outgoing:632
throw new ERR_INVALID_CHAR('...
oh right didnt notice that
neon leaf
but why would that cause it
shouldnt a head response contain content-length for the get request
sharp geyser
Maybe it was going over the length you set?
frosty gale
but why would that cause it
a head request should not return a body
by setting content length you are implying in the http request that you are also sending back a body
a head request is only for taking a look at the actual headers
so http spec doesnt allow setting a body
neon leaf
well
I am not sending a body
I am adding the header though because every cdn I ever headed returns it too
frosty gale
content-length is the amount of bytes you are sending for the body itself
if you dont send a body then thats even worse
because the request will likely also get stuck waiting on a body thats never going to come
technically implementations should ignore the body if it gets sent, but since you havent actually sent a body back in the head request it likely glitched everything out
neon leaf
@frosty gale I found the actual issue
its so stupid
the content-disposition header has to come before content-length in the header list
like what ????
sharp geyser
so why not aet it that way

2 problems, first, how do i make the container-fluid div take the whole height.....
i am concerned about fixing this.
idk how to fix those issues..
sharp geyser
oh you want it to look like what it does on mobile?
eternal osprey
look at my message:
2 problems, first, how do i make the container-fluid div take the whole height... (refer to the picture that i sent that shows the div literally only reaching half of the screen in height).
Second,i can't scroll on mobile.. (refer to the mobile picture)
sharp geyser
well set the container to take the max height of the viewport
eternal osprey
well set the container to take the max height of the viewport
<div style = "height: 100vh" class="container-fluid"> still same
sharp geyser
as for not being able to scroll, make sure you aren't setting overflow-y to hidden

mobile size login page I would not make the user scroll to get to the text inputs
if they typed a password or email wrong itll scroll back to the top
and they gotta go down again
poor UX

the sizing you had here was p good i thought
eternal osprey
the sizing you had here was p good i thought
I know, but there's some other things below the login button i can't get to see for some reason
sharp geyser
Also, why are you explaining what the service does on the login page?
Shouldnt that be done on the home page
eternal osprey
Thanks for the input but at the moment it's not what i am asking 😭
I appreciate it tho
sharp geyser
Well, I dont really see whats going on
eternal osprey
i will change it later, but i gotta fix this first.
sharp geyser
Unless container-fluid has css properties overwriting what you want
real rose
```<div style = "height: 100vh" class="container-fluid">``` still same
uh
should it not be
100%
not vh
sharp geyser
vh is view-height
sharp geyser
On mobile it should stop
which is why you'd set mobile specific paremeters (I cant fuckin spell)
