is it the code issue or what, my brain is not working now

[pearl trail]

have you added mysql-connector-java in dependency?

[bitter granite]

yes did not work

the lib is downloaded and compiled

[pearl trail]

maven -> reload project

[bitter granite]

this uni makes everything harder
like you cant even use FXML... or javaswing

and if i am not mastaken i remember you also cant that.....

i amma cry, ill just make it into array local storage for now....

i need to reask them if i can do that

Like they should atleast allow you to use any lib coise in real life, they use dont always use the same lib

[pearl trail]

oh

to make gui?

[bitter granite]

Ye i have to make a login page gui that is connected to mysql

[pearl trail]

💀

do you like hash password?

[bitter granite]

Like from them even the lib version if i use 8.0.23
When its supposed to be 8.0.24

Thats a min -20% total score

[pearl trail]

what the fuck

[bitter granite]

No need from this project
Saved on db without any security messure

[pearl trail]

oooo

[bitter granite]

Yeah thats why i have to be really carefull for the lib and project stracture

And this project call for 70% of your total score

More then the exams

[lyric mountain]

I really hate such tests

[lyric mountain]

Type the class outside a string and see if it exists

If it doesnt, then the path is wrong

[bitter granite]

Wdm by that?

I am too dumb

[lyric mountain]

The driver path you put in Class.forName is an actual class in java

Just type it out, as if importing

If the path becomes red then the driver path is wrong

[bitter granite]

Ah ill try it in a bit (moving class irl)

[raven nexus]

is there a way to make mongodb to dont create new database file if there already and exist one before?

i just want it to upload the same file but just update the timing

[lyric mountain]

"upload the same file"?

[raven nexus]

here i give you how the bot save

New session started for user 263941845590081538 at Tue Oct 22 2024 0255 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) in channel 126498329177436

Session ended for user 932286343869005884. Total time: 131.897 seconds.

so it save something like this

_id
671710349f99bd1d213b1df9
userId
"263941845590081538"
guildId
"1204272641306005514"
channelId
"1214550847770337300"
joinedAt
2024-10-22T02:38:44.206+00:00
totalOnlineTime
0
__v
0```

[lyric mountain]

Ok but wdym upload same file?

[raven nexus]

so once i reconnect to driifent vc in the same guild

the file above

it create another files same structure i highlight

i want it to update
totalOnlineTime 0

[lyric mountain]

I...still don't understand, are we talking about files or documents?

[raven nexus]

uh idk how it call but is like this

[lyric mountain]

That's a document

[bitter granite]

something like this?

[raven nexus]

it keep recreating new one and not update

owh

[lyric mountain]

No, get the string you were using before, remove everything but the string, remove quotes

If the last part in the resulting text is red then the classpath is wrong

[lyric mountain]

How are you saving it? Are you using the same id?

[bitter granite]

this? my brain is too dead

[raven nexus]

guild and user id Yes same

[lyric mountain]

Now delete Class.forName and parentheses

[raven nexus]

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const onlineTimeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  userId: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    index: true, // Index for faster queries
  },
  guildId: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
  },
  channelId: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
  },
  joinedAt: {
    type: Date,
    required: true,
  },
  totalOnlineTime: {
    type: Number, // Online time in seconds
    default: 0,
  },
});

// Check if the model already exists
const OnlineTime = mongoose.models.OnlineTime || mongoose.model('OnlineTime', onlineTimeSchema);

module.exports = OnlineTime;

it save from this

[lyric mountain]

But it's enough already tbh, see how Driver is red?

It means the class wasn't found

Thus forName won't work either

[bitter granite]

hm so do i have to redo the global lib?

[lyric mountain]

com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver is an actual class, you could just import it for all we know

But anyway, the path is wrong or you didn't install the lib correctly

[lyric mountain]

Yes, see, not found

[bitter granite]

but it seem like other import work

[lyric mountain]

What import?

[bitter granite]

the one above com.mysql

[lyric mountain]

The others up there are java's std lib

They always exist

[bitter granite]

oh...

[lyric mountain]

Show me ur pom

Or build file, if gradle

Or are u doing it raw?

[bitter granite]

what pom?

[lyric mountain]

That's the model, but where are u actually saving to the db?

[lyric mountain]

Ok, raw it is then

[raven nexus]

you mean from the event itself right?

[lyric mountain]

I mean where u call .save()

[lyric mountain]

Go to the libraries screen and click add new, then select "Download from URL" or smth like that

[raven nexus]

const OnlineTime = require('../models/OnlineTime'); // Ensure the model is correctly imported

/**

async function handleVoiceChannelConnection(userId, guildId, channelId) {

        let onlineRecord = await OnlineTime.findOne({ userId, guildId });

        // Get current time and set milliseconds to 0
        const currentTime = new Date();

            await handleVoiceChannelConnection(userId, guildId, newChannelId);
        }
    });
};

[lyric mountain]

Download the lib from there, it'll configure classpath properly for u

[raven nexus]

it save form here too

[lyric mountain]

See, ur creating a new document, it won't automatically grab the existing one

You need to fetch it then update the value before saving it back

[lyric mountain]

You can also pass a package path to it to get from maven central

The format is group:name:version

[bitter granite]

just did it and it sent me a new error

java: package com.mysql.cj.jdbc does not exist

[lyric mountain]

It's cuz u left the import there

[lyric mountain]

It's still the same error but compile-time now

[lyric mountain]

That's javadocs

But well, use maven central to get the package

Oh wait lmao

U got the wrong file

It's a zip

Java libs are jar

I believe the jar is inside it, unpack

[raven nexus]

const OnlineTime = require('../models/OnlineTime'); // Your OnlineTime model for tracking voice state

module.exports = (client) => {
    const GUILD_ID = process.env.GUILD_ID; // Get the GUILD_ID from the .env file

    // Track user voice channel join/leave times
    client.on("voiceStateUpdate", async (oldState, newState) => {
        if (newState.guild.id !== GUILD_ID) return; // Only track if in the specified guild

        // User joined a voice channel
        if (!oldState.channel && newState.channel) {
            const userId = newState.member.user.id;
            const joinedAt = new Date();
            const channelId = newState.channel.id; // Get the ID of the channel the user joined

            let session = await OnlineTime.findOne({ userId: userId, guildId: GUILD_ID, totalOnlineTime: 0 });
            if (!session) {
                session = new OnlineTime({
                    userId: userId,
                    guildId: GUILD_ID,
                    channelId: channelId, // Include channelId
                    joinedAt: joinedAt,
                    totalOnlineTime: 0, // Initialize total online time to 0
                });
                await session.save();
                console.log(`New session started for user ${userId} at ${joinedAt} in channel ${channelId}.`);
            } else {
                // Update the session with the new channel and joinedAt time
                session.channelId = channelId;
                session.joinedAt = joinedAt;
                await session.save();
                console.log(`User ${userId} reconnected at ${joinedAt} in channel ${channelId}.`);
            }
        }

        // User left the voice channel
        if (oldState.channel && !newState.channel) {
            const userId = oldState.member.user.id;
            const leftAt = new Date();

            const session = await OnlineTime.findOne({ userId: userId, guildId: GUILD_ID });
            if (session) {
                // Calculate the duration in seconds
                const durationInSeconds = (leftAt - session.joinedAt) / 1000;

                // Update the totalOnlineTime by adding the session duration
                session.totalOnlineTime += durationInSeconds;
                await session.save();

                console.log(`Session ended for user ${userId}. Total time updated to: ${session.totalOnlineTime} seconds.`);
            }
        }
    });
};

i am not sure why it recreated new doc

[lyric mountain]

Cuz ur fetching only with totalOnlineTime = 0

Remove that from findone

[lyric mountain]

When downloading libs always get it from maven central, it's guaranteed to be correct

The text inside quotes there is what u put in Download from URL in intellij

Optionally u just download the jar from there, works too but more work

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java/8.0.24

To find just type "[package name] maven central" on google

[raven nexus]

is it common to get timeout 10000ms for mongodb?

[lyric mountain]

No

[bitter granite]

still dosent work on finding the lib

bot error

[raven nexus]

i have use the same database with the main bot and testing bot maybe could that cause a timeout?

[lyric mountain]

That's a javadoc m'lad

Javadocs are, well, the documentation

Is the lib listed under Sources? If not then u probably just added to download the docs

[bitter granite]

i think this is now correct?

[lyric mountain]

It depends, I don't know if it applies but if you're using atlas it might limit how many connections you can have

[lyric mountain]

Yes

Now the import will become white

Which means that forName will also work

[raven nexus]

i think i use atlas the free one

[lyric mountain]

See if it allows connecting if you stop other connections

[bitter granite]

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.```

oh wait

[lyric mountain]

If it does then ur SOL

[bitter granite]

forgot to start the sql

[lyric mountain]

It did work then, since it found the class

Maven central is a godsend for when u need a package, it's like npm or pub but even better

Since it indexes all packages from all main repositories

[bitter granite]

ah yeahhhhhhhhhhh finaly it work

Thankyou so much now i can do the backedn of this program

[lyric mountain]

Nice

[bitter granite]

if only i know about mvn central

when i setup my javafx

-# (that setup took almost 2 week+ of debuging)

[lyric mountain]

Wait till u meet maven/gradle

It's basically the java equivalent of package.json

[bitter granite]

i missed js npm ngl doint this lib

[lyric mountain]

Yeah, you'll very rarely ever need to work on java doing libraries raw like that

[bitter granite]

-# unless you are doing uni work

[lyric mountain]

With a package manager u just put the lib path and they'll get from mvncentral for u

[lyric mountain]

That's why I blame unis for java hatred

[bitter granite]

.....i am at the back of class....

i saw the guy infrount of me

[lyric mountain]

I could even guess they told u to use java 8

[bitter granite]

he is readinng henti..... in class

[bitter granite]

here 11

[lyric mountain]

Lmao why the hell

[lyric mountain]

Eh, somewhat better but still so fuckin outdated

Java's at 23 now

24 by feb next year

[bitter granite]

i mean mysql connectorhas ver 9 and we use 8
and javafx is 17

[lyric mountain]

Also that mysql connector has CVE warnings of severe class

[bitter granite]

let me get the versheet

Eclipse 2020.6 R
Java 11.0.18
JavaFX 17.0.7
MySQL Java Connection Library 8.0.24
XAMPP 8.0.7

althou i dont use the eclipse couse it can be same with intelij

[lyric mountain]

Good thing you were allowed to use intellij

[bitter granite]

well tecnily it would be eazyer to do with eclipse (couse they have tutorial on how to setup) but yeah i thik intellij is better imo

[bitter granite]

i still hate it if the version is diffrent by like 0.0.1

thats a -20%

SO no latest

[lyric mountain]

Which also goes against a proper project planning

[bitter granite]

and best part of this.... they have not even teach javafx or mysql code

[lyric mountain]

As using outdated libs is a liability

[bitter granite]

it will be teach in the last week before i have to submit this assiment

so i had to self learn all of this

good thing there is docs and stackoverflow

[lyric mountain]

Yep, java has a long track record, plenty of Q&A around

[bitter granite]

ngl this would be eazyer if its in py and using mongodb, couse i somehow know more then java+mysql

also i really dont wanna make a documentation on this project

[lyric mountain]

I mean, technically you'd be using JPA not raw connectors, or at least some connection pool like hikari

Nobody does raw connection managing like that anymore

[bitter granite]

Fun fact: This is supposed to be a group project with 7 member

and i am somehow the onlyone that does the work

[lyric mountain]

Always like that lmao

[bitter granite]

couse my team member
Member 1: me
Member 2-7: No one

somehow i become solo in the group...

[lyric mountain]

And you're forced to carry the group, else you also fail the assignment

[bitter granite]

atleast i made a deal with the teacher
as long as backend work and use the correct lib
100%

they will ignore the frount end design and such

[bitter granite]

its not carry
this group only has 1 member (witch is me)

[bitter granite]

atleast i have that to clear my mind

also that i know out of 12 group, i am the only one that has progress

[lyric mountain]

My teacher used to ask questions individually after assignment completion, to ensure everybody participated

[bitter granite]

i wish
in this, even if the member does no work, it will follow the group scorre

it used to be like
they give out a list
and we write what we do
and if we lie, other member can argue it

i want the old system back

they change it to the new system couse there is too much complain

[lyric mountain]

Yep, it sucks and puts a high value target on your head for any assignment, everybody will want to hitchhike on you

[bitter granite]

i bet the one who complain is the one who dosent do the work

[bitter granite]

yeah thats why when i got this class
i know most peeps in this class just want to hitchhike

thats why i immediately apply this group to be solo (and i am now in this situation) on the first day of this semester

bro.... he is still reading that thing iin class

[lyric mountain]

But don't let uni turn you down on java, try to do some side projects with it, it's quite enjoyable

[bitter granite]

and now its the video version

[lyric mountain]

At worst you get to learn a language that can go into resumee

At best you like it

[bitter granite]

imagie that guy bluetooth earphone disconected

[bitter granite]

i would do more java tbh, but not raw

[lyric mountain]

Isso don't get how people can read such stuff in public

Like, what if you need to stand up?

[bitter granite]

you will (soon) , this week is presentation week

[lyric mountain]

Definitely, start a maven/gradle project (xml vs groovy, u choose), it's much more enjoyable

Coding should be about writing code, not dealing with packages

[bitter granite]

indeed

i would say i spend like 80% of my time dealing with lib,setup

[lyric mountain]

Btw you should apply from intellij ultimate while ur still in uni

[bitter granite]

on this project

[bitter granite]

i did, love the codesharing

[lyric mountain]

Also embedded DB tools

[bitter granite]

Code with me*

i used Code with me so i can code on my laptop then run the code in my gaming laptop

[lyric mountain]

Oh, in case u didn't know u dont need to do that

In intellij folder there're 2 executables

One is for server, one for client

[bitter granite]

wait what?

so you can run on cloud?

[lyric mountain]

Yep

[bitter granite]

ok i need to learn that

[lyric mountain]

U can code entirely remote

[bitter granite]

is the code saved in cloud too?

couse i change device if i am outside or at home

[lyric mountain]

https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/

[lyric mountain]

Oh, the cloud will be where ur hosting the server

Like, u could rent a vps and host the server there

[bitter granite]

so basicly you need a vm right?

i have a vm so would be fine

[lyric mountain]

It's mostly for the scenario u said, the gaming pc would run the server

Then ur laptop would connect using the client

[bitter granite]

rip vm broke

[outer crater]

The input field has gone behind this control bar...

[lyric mountain]

Lmao

[bitter granite]

time to fix it in ovh

aaaa

i forgot ovh is blocked in my uni wifi

[lyric mountain]

U need to use safe screen area, whatever ur using for the site should have it

[outer crater]

I'm using css jss 💀😭🙏

[lyric mountain]

Js can get safe zones

I THINK html has it too

[bitter granite]

btw what ver is the best for vm

i am going to just rebuild

out of this option

sending sc in a sec

[lyric mountain]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/env

Nvm css

[lyric mountain]

Idk the diff tbh

Btw, in case ur using mysql workbench there's no need to

[bitter granite]

ill just choose standart

[lyric mountain]

Just click the db icon at the left sidebar

[bitter granite]

is the dns good?

[lyric mountain]

Connect to the db there

[lyric mountain]

Set secondary to 1.1.1.1

[bitter granite]

got it

[lyric mountain]

If google fails cloudflare for sure wont

[bitter granite]

Building

i dont have the paid version

so i have to like rebuild every 6mo

[raven nexus]

i have try to create an ai reply using chatgpt modules

[lyric mountain]

Paid version of what? Intellij?

Didn't u apply for student license?

[bitter granite]

win server

[lyric mountain]

Ah

[bitter granite]

damn fast rebuild

i thought it will take like atleast 15min

[lyric mountain]

Win server is technically just win11 with some booleans set to true

[bitter granite]

i rather have a win server always on stendby tbh

couse there is somebot i rather try on vm

[lyric mountain]

Ur using hyperv?

[bitter granite]

nope

but i can just rebuild anytime

since i dont store importent data there

[lyric mountain]

Ic

[bitter granite]

plus my build is setup so it has all the nesesery stuff (discord, vsc, chrome, steam, java, js, py and few more)

well its just script

[lyric mountain]

Why not linux btw?

[bitter granite]

topgg bot testing,
my main server where i run my bot and other program is linux

[lyric mountain]

Ah

[bitter granite]

for example my bot clone detection bot is on my linux server

most used app in my vm

[bitter granite]

let me flex my best bot feature for some reason

used on dms more then 50+ since it has been made

[lyric mountain]

Lul

Btw that Discord choice is weird, like, you can manage channels but can't change its permissions?

[bitter granite]

Tbh i like that so i can have free decline

[lyric mountain]

And then you can manage roles but also change who can do what in certain channels

Lmao

[bitter granite]

90% of thay wrong perms decline
Is clone too btw
So its gonna get decline anyways

I know this. Couse there is quite abit that use this arguement
"But acording to this ripo, you need manage channel"

[lyric mountain]

I don't even get why submit clones

Like, it likely already exists there working, maintained and hosted for you to use at will

Why bother with a clone, and even attempt to list it on the same place

Bragging maybe?

[lament rock]

I can see some edits or using it as a way to learn how to use a language, but posting it to a bot list is insanity unless it's totally different. The only case I can see is music bots for multiple VCs, but like... Why though?

Just use a private instance(s)

[bitter granite]

I know why

Couse i have ask some

They just want the bot to be in the site

To flex that they are "top.gg developer"

By having bot dev role

They flex it to non-tech friends that dont know anything

I know this is a fact couse i know one person irl ||old me|| who does that

[lyric mountain]

Lul

[bitter granite]

Here is another thing
Alot of non dev discord user
Think that topgg is own by discord/opperate by discord
Including some of medal volenteer/staff (i think medal own topgg)

So it works becouse of it

They think
Bot get accept = auto verified

Guys I have a problem with the location measurements on the phone How can I solve it?

[lyric mountain]

define "problem"

[wheat mesa]

It’s going to depend on what way you’re adding it, but usually there is a .lib file alongside include files (.h/.hpp), and potentially DLLs. You can look up a tutorial of linking something like GLM since it’ll show the process

Also, if you want to make an efficient HTTP Server, try out Go. It’s very good at multithreading and reduces the complexity you’ll encounter with C++

It is

[earnest phoenix]

hence why people in cpp write everything from scratch

meh

[wheat mesa]

C++ has many use cases still

Rust will not see widespread adoption for a little while longer, it still needs to be more supported by the enterprise community

That’s why languages like Java are still so popular, decades of enterprise infrastructure was built on it

[pearl trail]

i prefer use java rather than c/c++ (beside my curriculum)

I seen this exact message from a different member in a different server. I'd suggest @solemn latch prolly should delete this (sry for ping) as its prolly a new typa scam

[quartz kindle]

you mean the daily 1000 bot logins?

[green kestrel]

you want a package manager

consider vcpkg or conan

it makes things a lot easier

if you're new to C++ don't try integrating libs by hand

also get an ide that helps you by maintaining your cmakelists.txt for you, e.g. clion

[warm surge]

Yea

[warm surge]

they are called sessions limits

I love lexer generator

[quartz kindle]

so, as per webster's request, i shall now explain session limits:
once upon a time there was big mountain called Discord, which then turned into a fancy building with magic rocks and somehow learned telepathy.
366 days later an elephant tried to let the sink in but we dont know what happened after that.
They then decided to install a special door and call it a session, and they slapped a little paper on it with some text written in chinese.
the text said something something about documentation. whatever that means... you need to reach a certain level of drunkness to be able to read it.
so after a night of drinks i went to check it out and it said the following:

depending on the size of your bot (number of server), you are allowed a certain number of "logins" per day (they reset every 24 hours), usually 1000 for small bots.
these "logins" are basically successful "identify" requests over the websocket, meaning every time your bot connects it counts as a "login".
each shard counts as a separate "login", so if you have 10 shards, every time you start your bot, it will use 10 logins.
if a shard disconnects and is able to "resume", that will not count as a login and will not count towards the limit, only if the resume fails and the shard needs to reset completely.
if you go over the 1000 logins per day, your bot will be locked out for the remainder of the time until the next reset. you can see how many logins you have left and much time is left until the next reset if you make a GET request to /gateway/bot
when your bot becomes very big, ie 150k+ servers, discord will increase this number, usually to 2000 and first and then more if needed.

[lament rock]

resuming sessions where possible is critical

I need to add cold session resumes into my lib. I currently bypass a lot of lib logic just so that I can apply the session ID and sequence number after a process restart

wondering if anyone has ever hit the Number.MAX_SAFE_INT for seq on a session

@quartz kindle Do you have any idea what might happen when someone reaches such a point?

[quartz kindle]

its extremely unrealistic to think you'd ever reach such a number lmao

if you go past max_safe_int it will start getting rounding errors, like n+1 returning n again

[lament rock]

I mean. My shards used to receive a LOT of messages when those werent privileged

[quartz kindle]

still

its 9 quadrillion

[lament rock]

My cluster has been alive for over 2 months

Idk if the sessions the cluster started with are the same ones but they likely are

Time to make a bot that gets insanely popular and ensure the gateway sessions last for as long as possible

[ruby ermine]

👋

[quartz kindle]

1000 shards connecting once per hour for 100 years makes a total of 26 billion sessions

very very far from 9 quadrillion :^)

[steady saffron]

how does top.gg calculate "more like this"?

im trying to determine "similar forums" for my forum website, but i cant seem to get it to be fast and accurate, its one or the other

[lyric mountain]

probably tags? maybe tracking which bots IPs access then finding the overlaps

[steady saffron]

how would IPs help determine this? i could look at an anime bot and then a moderation bot
is there anything more to make it more specific

[lyric mountain]

you can gather which pages a specific IP accesses

if an IP accesses page A then page B this means they're related in some way, or just means B caught the interest of A users

this enters the big data analysis area, but you can "guess" which pages an user is interested in by grouping similar users

add tags to the equation and you get things that are similar

[steady saffron]

but i dont think top.gg would go through the process of all of this, it sounds as tho this would probably hurt performance

[lyric mountain]

it hurts performance if you're doing this in real time

you can simply process in the server then use the preprocessed data in the site

the "data cruncher" is never in the frontend

[neon leaf]

does this generally look good so far? https://9000.webhook.pet/NEOFORGE/versions

[lyric mountain]

pretty good yeah

[earnest phoenix]

took ages to load for me for some reason but looks nice

[lyric mountain]

tho u could not make version dropdown a 50% flex, same for search

[neon leaf]

yeah its on a dev server

[earnest phoenix]

maybe the graphics should go full width

[lyric mountain]

like, they're way too big

[neon leaf]

you mean 2 versions per row?

[neon leaf]

ah

done

[lyric mountain]

also add a looking glass button to the right

makes it easier to find the search bar

[earnest phoenix]

oh and one small feat you could add is that when click "browse" and get that sort of popup

make "esc" also a way to close it

eventually clicking outside as well

having to use the mouse and slide down is kinda annoying

[neon leaf]

alr ill do that

alr done

[lyric mountain]

version dropdown still pretty big

u can use 15em for the width, basically 15 "M"s side by side

in my print I used 120px

[neon leaf]

done

[lyric mountain]

looking good now

[neon leaf]

would it be a good idea to do 2 versions per row on desktop?

[lyric mountain]

try it to see how it ends

oh actually

on desktop u could use card layout

this way bigger monitors get more items per row

[lyric mountain]

for me it looks better, but might go from person to person

u could add a "display mode" button on top right corner

to switch between single-list, 2-columns and card

[sharp geyser]

I dislike the gap at the right

maybe thats just me though

[neon leaf]

i fixed it already

[sharp geyser]

I don't like uneven things

[sharp geyser]

You're using grid right?

[neon leaf]

no

[sharp geyser]

Im curious what was your solution

[neon leaf]

flex

[sharp geyser]

ah

so you can use justify-center and items-center

[sharp geyser]

I see

interesting

[neon leaf]

its so I can make the last rows grow dynamically

[sharp geyser]

yea

[sharp geyser]

I dislike that

It should all be same size

Maybe I do have OCD

[earnest phoenix]

nah that's not really good tbh

[neon leaf]

well I dont really know if it should be

[earnest phoenix]

you can center them but keep the same size

[sharp geyser]

even centering is a stretch for me

I usually leave them all the same size, and keep them in their positions

[earnest phoenix]

or just let the right one be empty, not a big deal and that's how it's usually done

[sharp geyser]

I'd rather it look like one is mising, than trying to fill it in

[earnest phoenix]

yeah that's perfectly fine

[neon leaf]

alright

[sharp geyser]

yes much better imo

Also, why the choice of making a button you have to click to view the information on that release?

[neon leaf]

wanted to try something different than the old site, https://mcjars.app

[sharp geyser]

Ah

Yea that's how I usually do it, though im not completely against using a separate button

i once participated in a java class where the instructor was teaching about cucumber

the whole thing did not make any sense

[eternal osprey]

Hey guys, does anyone know a free or paid api that shows a constant stream of web3 tokens that are being created?

I am trying to make an automatic buy/sell bot and got pretty far already, but i just need to find a realiable streamer, which i for some fucking reason cannot seem to find.

[surreal sage]

sigh

[raven nexus]

is there a way to put in the logo to php
the file are in images/facebook.png

images/instragram.png

[frosty gale]

easiest way would be to make that image publicly accessible under some URL and then use that relative URL path in your img src parameter

if you want something more fancy like importing images and referencing them without explicitly making them public youre going to need some library probably

[raven nexus]

So like if my image file are at Images and the php are in sub so I just use /image/x/the file name

Correct?

[frosty gale]

if you can access an image called test.png at URL some_website.com/image/test.png then you can just embed it with <img src="/image/test.png"> in your php code

[toxic siren]

Am I able to edit any information on my bot on top.gg so that it'll be up to date

@radiant kraken Why do rust generics restriction only work with traits?

hate having to do something like

impl MyTrait for i32 {}
impl MyTrait for f32 {}

[radiant kraken]

what do you mean?

[earnest phoenix]

Like I can't do

fn blah<T: i32 + f32>(b: T) {}

[wheat mesa]

You can

[earnest phoenix]

No

Not working with primitive types, it expects traits

So you can get around it by making a trait which implements both, but it's kinda shit

[wheat mesa]

Ah I thought you just meant generic restrictions on functions

[earnest phoenix]

Nah

I have to do something like

trait Allowi32f32: std::fmt::Display {}

impl Allowi32f32 for i32 {}
impl Allowi32f32 for f32 {}

fn blah<T: Allowi32f32>(b: T) {
    println!("{}", b);
}

fn main() {
    blah(3); // works
    blah(1.3); // works
    blah(std::i64::MAX); // fails, i64
    blah("hello"); // fails, &str
}

And I personally find that horrible

[radiant kraken]

yeah it's a bummer, you can sort of counteract this with macros or third-party crates such as https://crates.io/crates/num-traits

[earnest phoenix]

yeh found that as well, it's just unfortunate you can't do it :c

[earnest phoenix]

obv that doesn't make much sense because there's no type that implements both i guess

but something like

fn blah<T: i32 | f32>(b: T) {}

could be cool

I mostly use traits for the few generics use cases i have but now facing one where i'd need two normal types

[radiant kraken]

honestly true

that would make a cool crate idea tho, something like

#[alias_trait]
fn thing<T: i32 | f32>(b: T) {}

i wish Rust had a built-in trait like As<T> for types that can be type-casted by the compiler with as _

[earnest phoenix]

definitely

[earnest phoenix]

don't know macros enough to be able to do that lmao

[radiant kraken]

those are procedural macros, they modify the AST of the code fragment next to it, in this instance, the entire function thing

which is very useful for doing magical things like that

one of the things i wish more languages had tbh

[earnest phoenix]

yeah definitely not for me

[earnest phoenix]

yeah true

[surreal sage]

yeah uhm im not sure what this is, this is a .mp4 hosted file over http

actual mp4 size is around 300mb

but it just repeatedly tries to fetch 5 mb chunks, network resources going into the gigabytes

18gb for 300mb to be exact

appears just with this though

content-length: 305482274
content-range: bytes 0-305482273/305482274
content-type: video/mp4

[split owl]

i have a very broad question
how to do sharding and is it necessary

google says its only necessary for bots in 2500+ servers

[digital swan]

Are you anywhere near 2500 servers?

[earnest phoenix]

How? Depends the library

Necessary? Yes, if you still have just one shard and your bot is in 2500 guilds, you won't be able to start it. Recommended is something like 1000-1200 guilds per shard

[split owl]

no lol

[split owl]

i see

my bot's very new so it looks like i dont have to worry about sharding for a long time

[earnest phoenix]

Usually libraries have this auto sharding thing, where they use the recommended number of shards that discord gives for your bot

[split owl]

i see

[digital swan]

Discordjs you can add literally 1 thing to your client and have auto sharding up to a certain extent

[earnest phoenix]

Technically you can implement sharing since the beginning, it's not much of a difference

[split owl]

what about discordpy?

[digital swan]

Not a clue

[earnest phoenix]

Auto sharding will just make one shard for your case

[split owl]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

You just replace Bot with AutoShardedBot

[split owl]

💀

is that it

[earnest phoenix]

yup

[split owl]

wow

[earnest phoenix]

Shards are just multiple connections for specific guilds - libraries make that easier for you by just simplifying stuff

[split owl]

thanks 💯

[earnest phoenix]

You also have new events you can listen to like on_shard_ready(shard_id)

This will get triggered when a shard is ready as the name suggests

For your case, you'll likely just have a single shard with ID 0

And your bot variable has new attributes like bot.shards or bot.shard_ids

[split owl]

so i can use like len(bot.shards) to show the number of shards

[earnest phoenix]

bot.latency uses the average latencies between the shards and you can get all the latencies separately with bot.latencies

Lots of cool stuff to play with

[earnest phoenix]

Absolutely

[split owl]

interesting

[earnest phoenix]

Consider shards as being different connections to discord.

Each of these shard/connection handles events for a set list of guilds.

So if one day you have 2 shards, and one shard cannot connect for some reason to discord, then you won't receive the events for the guilds on that shard, but the other shards will be perfectly fine.

Hence why sometimes big bots work in some servers but not all

There's a formula on the docs to know which guild will send its events on which shard, but you don't really need to know that - it's just to show that Discord splits the guilds into the shards to lower the workload per connection as each connection will receive a more normal amount of events, and not all for every single guild

shard_id = (guild_id >> 22) % num_shards

[surreal sage]

I'm experiencing something really weird

I have a debian server, 192.168.1.250

I try to SSH into it, I get timed out

I ping it, clean response

I ssh into another server, 192.168.1.251
And then ssh into 192.168.1.250, it works fine

[surreal sage]

This server is also available via my public ip, I try that, it doesn't work. I connect to a VPN, it works.

[quartz kindle]

ghosts

[surreal sage]

And it works sometimes

[quartz kindle]

idk it could be stale dns shenanigans

but also ghosts

[surreal sage]

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh interface ip delete arpcache

did both

such big question mark

[quartz kindle]

subnet mask shenanigans? idk

[surreal sage]

It's just ssh though

192.168.1.250 also is running a sharex server that I upload to directly

and it works just fine

😭

[quartz kindle]

that ip is in your local network right?

[surreal sage]

yes

[quartz kindle]

i've seen this happen before, stuff being unaccessible from inside the same network for some reason

[surreal sage]

I'm on a different vlan, 192.168.178.20

[quartz kindle]

but working fine when accessed from outside/vpn

[surreal sage]

Weird as I can ssh into 192.168.1.251 just fine

[quartz kindle]

maybe an issue with port forwarding?

[surreal sage]

Port forwarding as in public ip -> network?

[quartz kindle]

as in pc -> router -> server

or vlan1 -> vlan2

[surreal sage]

oh.

wait

[quartz kindle]

wat

[surreal sage]

my router thinks im ssh scanning

within my network

so it blocked me on that port

lmao

[quartz kindle]

xddddd

[surreal sage]

i dont get this though

it should allow 192.168.x.x

[quartz kindle]

why does it say 192.178?

[surreal sage]

i love you

whahahah i will try to, but idk it seems so strange

[earnest phoenix]

probs because it's not gov monitored idk

[toxic siren]

Does anyone know if I need DBOTS_TOKEN, DBL_TOKEN and BOD_TOKEN, or do I just need the topgg API token

[earnest phoenix]

?

[toxic siren]

I'm trying to finish my bots coding but I'm not sure if I need all 4 tokens

[earnest phoenix]

Well considering you coded it, you should know?

[toxic siren]

I didn't finish coding it genius

[earnest phoenix]

????? then why do you have 4 variables/tokens if you don't know for what they're used

Either you use them or not, if you don't there's no point in having them

And whether you use them, you should know it because you're coding it

[digital swan]

hes on a higher plain of thinking than us

[lyric mountain]

your bot is from a template isn't it?

but well, those tokens are from other listings

dbl is how topgg was called years ago

dbots is a brazillian listing

bod idk

[toxic siren]

How did you know

[lyric mountain]

because you're asking whether u should fill those variables

[toxic siren]

Then why does it say dbl and topgg

On the template

[lyric mountain]

templates usually have a list of variables and an explanation of each for forkers to fill

[lyric mountain]

because it's either an old template or they didn't bother to rename

it doesn't really matter the name

[toxic siren]

So do I fill it in if I'm in the us?

[lyric mountain]

it...depends on how they implemented it

a good template will have all tokens optional, as in, it'll only attempt to execute dependent code if it's filled

but bad templates could simply outright crash if not filled

they aren't mutually exclusive mind you, you can have all filled if you're listed on those too

the template should include a README.md file with instructions for setup

give it a read

[toxic siren]

I didn't even see it until you mentioned it

[earnest phoenix]

Hey, I use NodeJS, and i can execute my bot commands in channels where he can't see (he don't have the permission ViewChannel), how to make him handle that ? He gives me DiscordAPIError[50001]: Missing Access

[lyric mountain]

like this

in html head

[lyric mountain]

try { ... } catch { ... }

or for promises .except()

[slim gate]

i know, but i don't want to write this on every command bro

[lyric mountain]

is your bot crashing on error?

or does it just log to the console?

[slim gate]

yup it crashes

[lyric mountain]

ok, then u dont have a global catch, good

[slim gate]

on interactionCreate?

[lyric mountain]

are you using some sort of command handler?

[slim gate]

like one file for one command?

[lyric mountain]

you'd have it on global scope actually, you should add one later so the runtime doesn't crash for any missed error

            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}```
i think this is my command handler

[lyric mountain]

that's for registering them, idk how d.js cmd handler works, on my own I just put a try-catch where I call cmd.execute(), but that's in my case

[slim gate]

and on interactionCreate event, i have :

const { Events } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

        const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

        if (!command) {
            console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
            return;
        }

        try {
            await command.execute(interaction);
        }
        catch (error) {
            console.error(`Error executing ${interaction.commandName}`);
            console.error(error);
        }
    },
};```

so i got the try {} catch {}

[lyric mountain]

on the global catch you could prevent the crash, but you'd not be able to send an error message on the console

[lyric mountain]

oh, good, that's where it is

[slim gate]

yeah

but it still crashes

[lyric mountain]

a try-catch wont work there, since it's a promise

you need to use .except() after the execute

[slim gate]

i need to use .except ig

and itll be fine ?

[lyric mountain]

yep, the issue is that promise errors happen in another execution, so the regular try-catch can't catch those

since for it, the execution is no longer there

[slim gate]

try catch doesnt mean anything here so?

[lyric mountain]

well, it's good to have

since non-promise errors might happen

and those wont reach .except()

[slim gate]

okay thanks a lot!!

learnt smth new today lol

[lyric mountain]

do add a global catch tho, so your runtime doesnt crash from tiny errors

[wheat mesa]

.except?

[lyric mountain]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34186146/how-to-catch-a-global-error-with-nodejs

[lyric mountain]

it isn't except?

[wheat mesa]

Am I missing something or do u mean .catch

[neon leaf]

its .catch

[lyric mountain]

.catch it is then

[slim gate]

oh okay

[slim gate]

what u mean?

[lyric mountain]

I hate how I work with 3 different js-like langs and each has their own names

[lyric mountain]

after a certain node version, any uncaught exception is gonna stop the runtime

[slim gate]

idk why i didn't learnt python and i wanted to make it in js too 💀

[slim gate]

yeah i know that

[lyric mountain]

with a global catch u can handle the exception

[slim gate]

but where am i supposed to put this global

[lyric mountain]

in your index.js

as in, the first file executed

[slim gate]

it looks like that

const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
const { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandsFoldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(commandsFoldersPath);

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    const commandsPath = path.join(commandsFoldersPath, folder);
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
        const command = require(filePath);
        if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
            client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
        }
        else {
            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}

const eventsFolderPath = path.join(__dirname, 'events');
const eventFolders = fs.readdirSync(eventsFolderPath);

for (const folder of eventFolders) {
    const eventsPath = path.join(eventsFolderPath, folder);
    const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath);
    for (const file of eventFiles) {
        const filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
        const event = require(filePath);
        if (event.once) {
            client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
        }
        else {
            client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
        }
    }
}

client.login(token);```

it just registers commands right ?

and events

so i don't really understand where it executes them

[lyric mountain]

yep, somewhere there add the uncaughtException event handler

[slim gate]

oh wait

[lyric mountain]

shouldn't matter where

[slim gate]

i know what it is

[lyric mountain]

just dont simply mute the errors, let them stay verbose so u dont ignore them

then fix them when you can

[slim gate]

process.on('uncaughtException', function (err) {
  console.log(err)
});```

[lyric mountain]

yep

console.error tho

[slim gate]

isnt that the same?

[lyric mountain]

.error uses ERROR level and is more apparent

.log uses INFO level, and is meant just for informational log

[slim gate]

i host the bot online, so i don't really watch logs or smth... 😅

[lyric mountain]

you should lul

[slim gate]

nobody really use it

i need to wait topgg to validate it etc

[lyric mountain]

I mean, you're the one supposed to be seeing it

not the users

the console I mean

[slim gate]

yeah i know

but for error appear in console, users need to use the bot

[lyric mountain]

ah

[slim gate]

but i mean, missing permissions is the only error i encountered

and it's in very specific conditions, so not fixable lol

[lyric mountain]

in those cases u should check beforehand and send on the channel so the executer knows it's missing perms

[slim gate]

it do it lol

and i dont really understand why

cause the bot isn't supposed to see the channel

[lyric mountain]

well, it needs to to be able to interact with it in any way

[slim gate]

it's a channel for admin only

and my bot isn't in it

but it can still answer etc

[eternal osprey]

i can't clear all this channel gotta be the hardest shit i ever heard

[steady saffron]

its the same for my website and i cant figure out a solution

[sage bobcat]

• im pretty young lol

[unique heron]

Need app testers for my discord bot, wont take too long just need to enter commands, report any discrepancies, make a list of commands that need work and give feedback. Need 4-5 people. DM me if you are free and Interested.

And also, this is just voluntary help i am asking for so please dont ask for money T_T

[lyric mountain]

just need to enter commands, report any discrepancies, make a list of commands that need work and give feedback
Need 4-5 people
you want a literal QA team

[unique heron]

T_T

but i dont even have money for the hosting T_T

[lyric mountain]

btw mods will warn you the moment they see that message

[unique heron]

oh?

invite link?

[lyric mountain]

yep, and looking for testers

[unique heron]

what should i do then?

[lyric mountain]

well, if you have users then they'll kinda test them for you already

just setup proper logging to report errors to you

[unique heron]

the issue is that i want to make sure everything baseline works then i can start advertising and putting it on top.gg

[lyric mountain]

if it passed verification then you're good to go

[unique heron]

?

[lyric mountain]

topgg verification

[unique heron]

oh

[lyric mountain]

the bar is very low for bots, dont be afraid to fix/implement things along the way

very few software launches bugless

[unique heron]

the biggest issue i have is that i am building a game system and a lot of thought needs to be put in that, a lot of logical loopholes etc.

so that needs testing and i alone am not enough

also i have spent so much time on this that i have started to become lazy -_-

[lyric mountain]

ik, I also made a game for my bot, sadly the best way until you have enough users is to do it yourself

[unique heron]

T_T

sad

[lyric mountain]

once users start gathering you can open applications for a tester team

[unique heron]

hmm

ok i guess i'll hav to do it myself

[lyric mountain]

just launch it as-is, fix bugs as they happen

[unique heron]

ok

[lyric mountain]

depending on what kind of game you created it'd be impossible to find every bug yourself anyway

[unique heron]

hmm

its kind of basic - exploring, gathering, battles, pets etc. really common stuff

[lyric mountain]

not as common as you'd imagine, most game bots are just cookie clickers or simple pokemon-like (with just attack/defend buttons)

you're already above the average if you have more than that

[unique heron]

oh ty

first i'll complete the all command version then i'll try to get into the nitty-gritty

[wheat mesa]

Bugs are a part of software. No project is ever complete

[unique heron]

true

i had a bot earlier as well but the update to d.js v13 f'ed it up

[primal fog]

Hey fellow bot developers. Quick question since I am about to launch my bot, how much is the exposure with your bot being in the "new section" of topgg?

I will be trying for trending but I dont think I will have enough userbase to support that

[unique heron]

but still if anyone wants to help with app testing, please dm me 🙂

[lyric mountain]

I'd not rely on that section for getting new users

[primal fog]

Mind DMing you?

[lyric mountain]

I mind

[primal fog]

How would you recommend to start the growth?

To break into trending you will need 20-30ish votes to begin with

After that it's easier as word of mouth does the trick

[lyric mountain]

well, the slower but steady way would be to bring the bot in topic when the conversation allows

the probably faster but gamble-y way would be to bid on spots

[primal fog]

Its a mini game. Its not another AI, waifu or anime or pokemon game

[lyric mountain]

It's the same for every bot, or product in general. Just have the presentation be good enough to grab people's attention

If you were looking for a bot, what would make you look at your bot?

The answer to this is what you need to do to gather more users

[primal fog]

Valid points

Thanks

[lyric mountain]

And always remember, the first 20 words are the most important of your description

If they fail to grab the attention then they'll likely move to the next bot

[primal fog]

Do you have your bot listed?

[lyric mountain]

yep

[slim gate]

hi, i have a discord bot who use puppeteer. i tried to host it on koyeb, but i get this error when puppeteer is needed

someone got an idea ?

(doing the npx command in the console doesn’t work too)

[lyric mountain]

did you try reading the guide mentioned there?

[slim gate]

where?

[deft wolf]

This one I guess https://pptr.dev/guides/configuration

[lyric mountain]

most errors usually explain themselves at the very first few lines

[slim gate]

yeah i just read it

nothing what can help me

[lyric mountain]

did you install the puppeteer browser as directed by the script over there?

[eternal osprey]

async function createButtons(allNames: string[]): Promise<ActionRowBuilder[]> {
  let rows: ActionRowBuilder[] = [];
  let currentFill: number = 0;
  let currentRow: ActionRowBuilder = new ActionRowBuilder();
  for (let i = 0; i < allNames.length; i++) {
    if (currentFill == 5) {
      rows.push(currentRow);
      currentRow = new ActionRowBuilder();
      currentFill = 0;
    }
    currentRow.addComponents(
      new ButtonBuilder()
        .setCustomId(`${allNames[i].toLowerCase().trim()}`)
        .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Secondary)
        .setLabel(`${allNames[i]}`)
    );
    currentFill++;
  }
  return rows;
}

async function sendAndSave(
  allNames: string[],
  channel: GuildChannel,
  Embed: EmbedBuilder,

  if (channel.isTextBased()) {
    const rowArray: ActionRowBuilder[] = await createButtons(allNames);
    let sentMessage = await (channel as TextChannel).send({
      embeds: [Embed],
      components: rowArray,
    });
    status.status = sentMessage.id;
    fs.writeFileSync("./status.json", JSON.stringify(status), (err) => {
      if (err) console.log(err);
    });
  } else {
    console.error("Channel is not a text-based channel.");
  }
}```
pretty long one.
Why do i have an error that ```js
Type 'ActionRowBuilder<AnyComponentBuilder>[]' is not assignable to type '(APIActionRowComponent<APIMessageActionRowComponent> | ```

I swear TS combined with Discord api is literal cancer

[lyric mountain]

why not just java

[pearl trail]

https://tenor.com/view/java-my-beloved-gif-26470299

[unique heron]

isnt java a pain to handle?

[sharp geyser]

That's why they use cups

You aren't meant to touch it with your bare hands

[lament rock]

such a dumb joke lmao

[lyric mountain]

depends on what you mean

some say it's a pain cuz it enforces very strict typing, but I find that to be an upside

[scenic kelp]

i whine about it all the time cause it feels like it hasn't kept up with the features of modern languages

doesn't have string templating, doesn't have async/await, uses type erasure for generics so making T[] arrays is a pain, etc

[lyric mountain]

doesn't have string templating
it does on java 22 (in preview atm - https://openjdk.org/jeps/459)

doesn't have async/await
well, we have futures instead, java doesn't use event thread so async/await wouldn't work anyway

[scenic kelp]

> C#

C# compiles async/await into a state machine

[scenic kelp]

didn't string templating get canned as well?

[wheat mesa]

As much as I love C#, the reason it’s able to have all these features over java is that it took the stance of being adaptable. Java is very set in stone because they don’t want to mess with their standards all the time. It can be verbose, but it is very consistent

[scenic kelp]

which is fair but i absolutely still have the right to complain about it

f u java

[wheat mesa]

Java hasn’t changed a lot in the last 20 years, which is another reason why I think it’s a great language to learn on. There’s no new “best practices” coming out with every new release. That’s something that C# does a lot, which is great for those people paying attention to the changes but not so great for legacy code that should be rewritten

[scenic kelp]

there's a balance to be struck between feature creep and being stuck in stone though

C# pushes too far one way and Java too far the other

[wheat mesa]

I see C# as the experimental ground for language features that other languages may choose to implement later, it’s very bleeding edge and it’s constantly having something new added. Not a bad thing, just depends on your circumstances

[lyric mountain]

nope, it's been in preview for a while, openjdk just take their time when adding such things

[primal fog]

When starting out what stats should i track. Users & Servers should be more than enough right

Or should I track invite origin as well? (App, directory, topgg etc)

[harsh nova]

invite origin would probably be really useful to see what to focus more on

[lyric mountain]

Users & Servers
User count is by far the most useless stat to have

not only is it inaccurate, but it wont tell how many USERS you have either

command usage + invite origin + servers are the ones that are useful

[primal fog]

By users I meant records in my database

[lyric mountain]

seconds per command might be relevant too

[primal fog]

so people who have interacted with the bot

[lyric mountain]

interacted as in used a command? or do you have XP/currency system?

[primal fog]

No its a mini game not a moderation bot

Interacted as of having complete >5 levels

which is 10min of gameplay

[lyric mountain]

ok, then it's a relevant stat

[primal fog]

What do u mean by that

[lyric mountain]

how many seconds a command took to execute

[primal fog]

To point out bottlenecks

makes sense

[vivid fulcrum]

I'd argue Java doesn't really push for it. it's slow in developing itself because of the distribution system it has
it's still a good enough language in 2024 though

I'm still siding towards C# as my favorite though, love the advancements in the native AOT

[earnest phoenix]

One thing I find funny about C# is that sometimes people don't need to comment code because the function names are comments already

[prime cliff]

Not even portainer has support for docker plugins but now i do

[prime cliff]

Not only function names but visual studio is amazing at visualizing what functions and parameters do even without comments, compared to say javascript which is dynamic and requires some initial usage help

[scenic kelp]

also named parameters can help SO much with readability

[earnest phoenix]

that's honestly just IDE specific, and from all the languages i've used so far, was everywhere

[lyric mountain]

it depends, for js it'd be impossible for the ide to guess

[prime cliff]

^

[earnest phoenix]

yeah because it's js and it sucks, but that's a language issue so no ide can do anything against it

say you use ts, you get the same

[lyric mountain]

well, yes that's the whole point of ts

[earnest phoenix]

just like any typed other language

no honestly nothing really something cool about c tic tac toe tbh

that's just the ide doing fancy stuff because the language is typed

and the function names being comments was more a meme about them being super long

[vivid fulcrum]

I usually see that in Java

naturally verbose

[prime cliff]

Depends how you want to use those functions instead of long parameters you could create them as builder methods like what discord.net does with embeds

new EmbedBuilder()
  .WithTitle("Test")
  .WithDescription("Hello");

[lyric mountain]

pretty much the same as JDA lul, but set instead of With

[dry frost]

how me changes my discord bot profile in top gg?

[warm surge]

refresh data > edit > save

[dry frost]

tq

if guys need website for bot u can see in my repo include mdx blog

[surreal sage]

somehow, my tauri project's setup exe

as a probable trojan

[deft wolf]

[lyric mountain]

happened with me too, one of our company apis is flagged as trojan by windows

[eternal osprey]

hahahah i had the same shit was fun to encounter.

[quartz kindle]

add random semicolon somewhere in the code, recompile, done

:^)

[pearl trail]

const ; val = 5;

[lyric mountain]

in a perfect world, the code wouldn't let you compile because it's clearly an error

but js isn't perfect world, so it executes anyway

[prime cliff]

Now this is how you do a permissions system

[outer crater]

I want color of this to be #3b3f8c I tried applying filter to image but didn't turned good? is there any method or online tool to this thing? sorry I'm not a math guy.

filter: invert(30%) sepia(67%) saturate(275%) hue-rotate(190deg) brightness(95%) contrast(90%);

[lyric mountain]

worth to note, filter order matters

[outer crater]

oh, what should I do then

[lyric mountain]

well, you'll need to fiddle with the values till the color reaches what you want

it'll take a while of trying

[outer crater]

😭😭

[toxic siren]

Whoever thought it was a good idea is like my brother, a moron

    );
    addEvent({
        type: "vote",
        command: "vote",
        source: data.source
    });
}

can anyone help with this

nothing gets added

[deft wolf]

Because your database is empty

[split bane]

it should create one no?

[deft wolf]

findOneAndUpdate looks for a document and updates it. It won't update the document if it doesn't find it because it doesn't exist

[split bane]

if the person does not exist

[deft wolf]

The code you sent doesn't indicate this

[split bane]

wait thats jnust event logging

im stupiud

[split bane]

import { VoteUser } from './VoteUser';
import { getCollection } from '../mongo';
import { addEvent } from '../functions';

module.exports = async (data: VoteUser) => {
    const result = await getCollection("votes").findOneAndUpdate(
        { id: data.user_id },
        { 
            "$set": { 
                votes: { at: Date.now(), source: data.source }
            }
        },
        { 
            upsert: true, 
            returnDocument: 'after' 
        }
    );

    // make new thing here
    if (!result.value) {
        await getCollection("votes").insertOne({
            id: data.user_id,
            votes: { at: Date.now(), source: data.source }
        });
    }

    addEvent({
        type: "vote",
        command: "vote",
        source: data.source
    });
}

still doesnt work

[delicate zephyr]

The upsert creates if not exists. Read the docs

[deft wolf]

Ok

[delicate zephyr]

But yea, it should work

However it may be better to check it exists first then create or update instead

[split bane]

oh

yeah it still isnt working

[radiant kraken]

can someone help explain how this outputs 4? @pearl trail @lyric mountain @wheat mesa ```c
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int a = (25, 4.61);
printf("%d\n", a);

return 0;

}

found this question in the C basics quiz (that i failed 😭) and i really need to know how this works because i'm about to have final exams next week

[pearl trail]

it takes the last value

which is 4.61

then converted to int, which is 4

[radiant kraken]

wait is it just that

[pearl trail]

yes

[radiant kraken]

BRUH i failed to this

😭

i suck at c

[pearl trail]

try int a = (25, 5.61); it'll return 5

[pearl trail]

doubt

[radiant kraken]

well my grades state otherwise

😔

like i hate my professor so much

// omitted scanf

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  if (data[i] == input) {
    printf("The data is in index no. %d\n", i + 1);
    break;
  }
}

Given a data with the size of 10 and the inputs of 12, 14, 15, 16, 15, 14, 11, 10, 15, 17.
In which index is the number 15?

A. 2
B. 2 and 4
C. 3, 5, and 9
D. 2, 4, and 8

what is the answer to THIS??????

even IF you know what indexes are or you understand everything, you still wouldn't be able to answer it properly

i answered 3, 5, and 9 but i don't think i got it right because my grades are shit

i don't know they never tell me in WHICH questions i got wrong

ffs

😭

[pearl trail]

should be D imo

it doesnt ask "in which index based on the printed text is the number 15"

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frosty gale]

no sane c programmer would use this syntax

[radiant kraken]

WELL MY LECTURER APPARENTLY DOES

bro he should stfu with this "uhm but actually 🤓" bs 😭

its so annoying

[frosty gale]

its very unclear im not sure why C even supports this syntax, there may be a better use case for it but not sure

[radiant kraken]

he would put the most cursed code in a quiz for a C basics lecture

[frosty gale]

it allows for stuff like
int a = (printf("this is supposed to be 50 ig"), 50);
but you can just do

printf("this is supposed to be 50 ig");
int a  = 50;  

saves a line maybe

[pearl trail]

one liner 😍 😍 😍

[radiant kraken]

why tf would anyone write like that 😭

js basics quiz:

what does this output ```
[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+(+(+!+[]+(!+[]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[+!+[]]+[+[]]+[+[]])+[])[!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]]+[+[]]

[frosty gale]

most clear JS code

[radiant kraken]

.replaceAll('\n', '')

boom everything in one line

The only lang that I know of that uses 1 based indexing is lua

Everyone else is sane and starts at 0

Sql

[prime cliff]

😔 This is so much better than Portainers current "roles" system

[lyric mountain]

not really

you can kinda guess the raw value tho

varchar takes 2+n bytes, boolean takes 1 byte zoneless timestamp takes 8 bytes and idk what a loader_type is

4 bytes then

postgres is fine

but wdym "lots of rows"? what will that table store?

that sounds very wasteful tbh

but that table wouldn't have which launcher was used right? only which loader

wouldn't it be better to assign an unique id to each player (hashed) and then update their entry with the last played date instead?

like, a composite key with (id, mc_version) since some people play multiple versions

at least you limit it to a few rows per player, instead of unbounded

that's true

Thank you for asking a specific question and indicating what your problem is

[raven nexus]

i have question i am trying to create /reload ping without to put .js and it show out the command not found

the structure are in
commands/subfolder/command.js

here is the code

const { ApplicationCommandType } = require('discord.js');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

const commandsDir = path.join(__dirname, 'command'); 

module.exports = {
    name: 'reload',
    description: "Reloads a specific command file.",
    type: ApplicationCommandType.ChatInput,
    options: [{
        name: 'command',
        description: 'The name of the command to reload (without .js)',
        type: 3, 
        required: true
    }],
    run: async (client, interaction) => {
        const commandName = interaction.options.getString('command'); 
        await interaction.deferReply(); 

        try {
            const commandPath = path.join(commandsDir, `${commandName}.js`);

            if (!fs.existsSync(commandPath)) {
                return await interaction.editReply(`Command "${commandName}" not found.`);
            }

            if (client.commands.has(commandName)) {
                client.commands.delete(commandName);
            }

     
            delete require.cache[require.resolve(commandPath)];
            const command = require(commandPath); 
            client.commands.set(command.name, command); 

            await interaction.editReply(`Successfully reloaded the command: ${commandName}`);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Failed to reload command:', error);
            await interaction.editReply('There was an error while reloading the command.');
        }
    }
};

it give me result command not found
what did i do wrong ?

[lyric mountain]

does it say command not found or Command "" not found.?

hey guys is anyone here familiar with the Gale-Shapley Algorithm

[frosty gale]

i was about to be but wikipedia decided to beg for donations for the 50th time

so my attention was diverted

[coral pagoda]

why are wikipoopas like this

[earnest phoenix]

https://youtu.be/MpeOFvxor_0

[frosty gale]

they do this every few months

its already been debunked they have enough money to last for a long while

[frosty gale]

plus their fundraiser messages use all of the corporate marketing and persuasive strategies in the book

thought it was a bit odd they include the exact day in the message but thats fully intentional

[coral pagoda]

yh its annoying
