development

[hidden gorge]

ah i tried using certbot once... im not lying when i say this it broke my damn NGINX setup

ended up rebuilding the VPS

[quartz kindle]

acme.sh is better than certbot in my experience

[delicate wigeon]

It wasnt too hard to setup imo, but I am also a more "self-hosted" type of person then anything, if I need it, and there are means to host it I try to do so

[solemn latch]

tim doing development therapy

[quartz kindle]

yes please, my mental health is in a horrible place rn

[hidden gorge]

honestly i just used cloudflare bc this VPS Just runs stuff for my business that's it

[delicate wigeon]

Ive luckily never had certbot issues, theyve always given me 0 issues unless I was a cert for my ip address, but I have the ability to apply subdomains

[delicate wigeon]

True, I rent my vps, and then me and my brother have a 2nd one for our one main shared project. I mainly do tinkering and self hosting on my personal one, and use that knowledge for the production one

[solemn latch]

😦 I'm sorry man

[delicate wigeon]

I want to turn my 2nd pc into a homeserver eventually, I think it could be cool, and if my wifi ever goes down it can be a home media lab too

[hidden gorge]

ah i just pay like $5 USD monthly for mine in reality all we use it for is our website i might get another VPS later on bc we need to get our own CDN to be able to hold all of our videos

used mongodb and Cloudinary to make my own kinda CDN but it was buggy

[delicate wigeon]

Tbh Ive never gotten what a cdn is, is it just to serve media?

[solemn latch]

It spreads content globally for you.

[hidden gorge]

basically yes

[solemn latch]

So, your server could be in centeral US and someone in germany would get it faster than reaching your actual server.

[hidden gorge]

i gotta use a CDN bc i have to be able to access everything on the server from my car so i can upload videos from on scene

[solemn latch]

Really important for websites, will help you show up on google with a higher ranking.

[delicate wigeon]

Hmmm, Ill need to look into it fr, does it require multiple servers or just a certain setup of tools?

[solemn latch]

If you use a company they do it for you.

Much much cheaper that way 😄

But you can for sure use multiple distinct server.

[hidden gorge]

in reality my CDN will only be accessed by a server in my car and the website

[delicate wigeon]

You dont really need a cdn then, you can build a site that takes those files and uploads them to local storage and serves them from another endpoint

I use a bot to upload my images to my site which is built and served in node

[solemn latch]

👀 like a discord bot?

[hidden gorge]

(reason i say On scene is bc im a Emergency Services and Incident Photographer + Videographer)

[delicate wigeon]

Yeah

Its a skin system for my pokemon game

[solemn latch]

Wont that degrade your quality a ton?

discords compression is awful

[delicate wigeon]

Nah, we use links to download from the direct link, but the concept is all the same. They can upload the video to say discord, and use discord cdn to download the video

[hidden gorge]

yk whats gonna be hell setting up wifi in my car

[solemn latch]

Your alternator will hate you for it 😄

[hidden gorge]

dw it will hate me

i gotta install Emergency Lighting in it

so flashing lights

[hidden gorge]

im gonna get an Aux battery and 2nd alternator

[delicate wigeon]

Could you technically just use a portable hotspot from a cell provider?

Probably less work/hassle in the end

Only thing you would need to keep in the car is the charger, and then at that point you can take that wifi anywhere

[small tangle]

I just use their css utility classes if thats what youre asking

[delicate wigeon]

Bridge a raspberry pi to it to ssh tunnel and bam, private site access

[hidden gorge]

im basically making a police car its a 2020 Ford Explorer Ford Police Interceptor Utility but replaced with Amber and White lighting

-# Lighting costs $9,000 - $10,000 💀

[delicate wigeon]

Expensive for me, Im 23 w/o my license

[hidden gorge]

im 16 💀

[delicate wigeon]

But once my next bot project (currently working on, in alpha) takes off I plan to get it done. I used to live in a state without mandatory classes bc you did them in HighSchool, but now where I live it costs extra just to take classes

[solemn latch]

👀 does that not violate your local laws?

[hidden gorge]

what

[solemn latch]

My state they would get so pissed if you had red/blue lights. Impersonation laws

[delicate wigeon]

As long as its distinguishable enough from an emergency vehicle should be fine

[hidden gorge]

im not getting Red and blue im using Amber and White

[delicate wigeon]

They said white/amber

[solemn latch]

ah, probably okay.

[hidden gorge]

i only need it bc i need to be seen by traffic

[solemn latch]

Work truck?

[hidden gorge]

confirmed it with the chief of police

[hidden gorge]

personal + work

Emergency Services Photographer and Incident Photographer + Videographer

aka News Company

[wheat mesa]

yeah no this is just illegal lmao

[hidden gorge]

its actually not ive cleared it

[wheat mesa]

unless it's like work truck-looking

but afaik even attempting to look like a police car is a crime

[hidden gorge]

you can buy retired FPIUs and do whatever u want with them

[wheat mesa]

like, with lighting

[delicate wigeon]

Raspberry pi setup can still be a killer idea fr
Use a touch screen display for it to go with the pi, bind ssh tunnel to start, and connect to the hotspot, and then you can use electron to make a dedicated site gui for the pi,
Kinda a cool circle of items

[hidden gorge]

like ive said 2 times now its not Red and blue lighting

its Amber and White

the car will be incapable of red and blue

[wheat mesa]

that doesn't necessarily make it legal

different color lights != not a traffic hazard

[hidden gorge]

like ive said again ive cleared it with the Ministry of Transportation and as well as my local PD

you can have Amber and White lights here but not on while your vehicle is moving

[pearl trail]

at what age are you legally allowed to drive there?

[wheat mesa]

special treatment moment

[hidden gorge]

16

[wheat mesa]

def not legal but w/e

[pearl trail]

damn

[wheat mesa]

emergency-looking lights is definitely illegal. If they are just static LEDs that do not flash or change color, then I could see the argument fo rit not being illegal

[hidden gorge]

16 you need to drive with something with a Full G class License and 4 Years of Driving History and you cannot drive between 12 AM - 5 AM and a 0.00 BAC

[pearl trail]

but imo this point is fair tho (replying to waffle)

[hidden gorge]

-# not the only person to have these in my region :}

also do remember im canadian

[wheat mesa]

doesn't make it legal!

Yes I do remember

[solemn latch]

Work trucks can have lights. Theres likely guidelines per state.

[pearl trail]

oooooo

[wheat mesa]

I believe work trucks need a special tag/permit for that

[hidden gorge]

nope

[hidden gorge]

Lights are prohibited or restricted based on their combination and/or the direction they are visible from. Flashing red lights, visible from any direction on a vehicle, are restricted to law enforcement vehicles only. This restriction does not include four way flashers or tapping the brake pedal to produce an on and off effect with the brake lights. In addition to this, red lights and red and blue combinations of lights to the front are also restricted to law enforcement vehicles. Flashing blue lights are restricted to police vehicles and snow removal vehicles, but only while they are actually engaged in the removal of snow (or de-icing, etc.). Flashing green lights are restricted to volunteer firefighters.

[solemn latch]

I know in my area tow trucks can have sirens even. But that does require a permit and you must be given permission on each use.

Used during critical crashes, such as a major highway being completely blocked.

[hidden gorge]

Ontario's HTA (Highway Traffic Act) does not prohibit white and amber lights :}

soooo

HTA Applies to all roads not just Highways

Anyone know why my port forwarding for port 51820 wouldn't be working? I don't think it's my router, bc I forwarded on port 22 for SSH and it worked just fine. I am trying to set up Wireguard on my rpi, and for some reason it's not going through. Here's what my ufw status looks like:

To                         Action      From

[prime cliff]

@wheat mesa you only whitelisted the udp protocol whatever you're doing might be using tcp or a different one

[wheat mesa]

wireguard only needs UDP

[prime cliff]

You could also check the firewall log

[wheat mesa]

What's the command for that

[prime cliff]

It's a file somewhere in /var google it i guess

[wheat mesa]

I also tried looking at the TCP packet dump and there was nothing, but I'm assuming nothing would come through if the firewall blocks it

[wheat mesa]

got it working. my stupid router doesn't support NAT loopback so it was trying to connect through my public IP instead of my local since I was on the same network

[prime cliff]

Lol

For internal stuff anyway like db access you can use an ssh tunnel to proxy pc localhost <-> vps localhost by port

[hidden gorge]

need some opnions rq do i make the boxes above the members transparent or no?

[prime cliff]

Looks pretty good although the card titles could be a little smaller compared to main title

[hidden gorge]

How much smaller would you say?

[prime cliff]

The avatar images seem a bit too big

[hidden gorge]

That pic is zoomed out too so

It auto scaled

[prime cliff]

Ah ok

[scenic kelp]

do you have a max width for your content

i'd say it's generally a good idea to have a max width of around ~1400px so it looks good on ultrawide screens as well

[crystal wigeon]

has anyone worked with payment integrations like paypal? I wanted to know how i can send customers receipts and like a bill after completing the payment? like as proof. so people dont go to paypal and back charge after purchasing the item

[pearl trail]

there's an endpoint for receipt i believe

[delicate wigeon]

Weeeeeee

Well thats silly

@bitter granite hy, dont mean to ping, and not here to bug u, but ty.
You may have accidentally deleted all my already created cards data, but you helped me identify a single capitlilzation error in my startup flow

[delicate wigeon]

Well, I created a custom loop to make my bot leabe servers I dont want it in. And somehow during that process, it managed to delete and crash my users card json, which is a really massive bug that I need to fix, so ty for finding it!

[sharp geyser]

Anyone here use Amazon SES?

I am looking at it and it seems to just use already existing emails, and if thats the case why not just use office 365 smtp instead of aws ses. I dont really actually see how you can send 250,000 emails potentially through SES if you will end up hitting limits from the email provider.

[neon leaf]

am I tripping

ye I am, the second arg that map provides is index which provides a radix to parseInt

[quartz kindle]

get trolled

[spark flint]

office 365 is not designed for marketing or transactional emails

SES is

theres loads of providers that are just repackaged SES

I use https://useplunk.com personally, its amazing

[frosty gale]

i wish all marketing and newsletter email providers just go bankrupt or something

i cant remember a time where i have actually enjoyed receiving a marketing or newsletter email that i havent explicitly agreed to

[swift barn]

Only done payment integrations with stripe

[sharp geyser]

That wasnt my question. Im wondering how SES works if it requires already existing emails to function

[spark flint]

wdym existing emails

[sharp geyser]

Well it had me create an identity to send emails through and that identity is an already existing email provided by protonmail

[sharp geyser]

Unless i can send emails through the domain identity it had me create

[pearl trail]

whoa i just realized this is a thing

[covert gale]

yeah, rust also has that and it's really nice and helpful

[wheat mesa]

Tuples

[pearl trail]

yeah it is, now i don't need to create classes for every multiple values i return

[earnest phoenix]

lots of languages have that lmao

[frosty gale]

alongside almost every language having some kind of variation of it

javascript even sort of

[frigid locust]

hii!

[frosty gale]

arrays can act like tuples

but imagine the disgusting overhead of constructing a new array on the heap every single time you want to make a tuple @quartz kindle

horrible

a dynamically sized array*

[pearl trail]

ok so uh i got a question, why does this status == "enabled" goes into my int typed parameter function? the console returns True, and i have "3 functions"

public async Task SetEffectSet(string effectName, string level) {}
public async Task SetEffectSet(string effectName, bool enabled) {}
public async Task SetEffectSet(string effectName, int value) {}

ok now i use this (...., enabled: result), thx

wth it's still not working found the issue

[quartz kindle]

Array(n) is faster than [] btw

if you know the final size of the array behorehand

:^)

[scenic kelp]

what was it?

[scenic kelp]

you can also do tuples with named fields in C#

(int x, int y) ToTuple(int x, int y) => (x, y);

var coords = ToTuple(2, 3);
Console.WriteLine($"{coords.x}, {coords.y}");

[frosty gale]

the initialization or all accesses afterwards?

[quartz kindle]

all accesses within that size

there is a small cost every time an array's size has to be increased

when you push to it, or add stuff to its indexes

but if you initialize an array using Array(n), all accesses inside that n will not have the cost of having to expand the array on the first access

[frosty gale]

makes sense, about how a vector works

are arrays in js an actual contiguous block of memory holding references to objects or does it do anything special such as becoming a partial linked list

but then index access would be very slow if it involved linked lists in any way

[quartz kindle]

there are 6 types of arrays afaik, depending on the items being held

i believe when an array is declared either with Array(n) or with [a,b,c,d], it should be a contigious block

then if an item is pushed, the array is transformed into something else

i dont know the exact details but i imagine it can be several memory blocks linked like a linked list

[frosty gale]

yeah thats what i was thinking might be a possibility

if you make it a linked list of chunks of smaller contiguous arrays you can sort of get a balance between benefits of a linked list and benefits of a regular array

[quartz kindle]

ye

[frosty gale]

chunk size would be very annoying to figure out though, it would totally depend on the number of elements

I'm building a "clan" system in my discord bot. The trouble I'm having is that discord username's change. If I'm persisting their name, how would I update it upon a name change? One option is to change it the next time the game is used by them?

[vocal knot]

why not use user id and fetch name from cache after

[unique sedge]

this

[pearl trail]

there's actually no issue with it. basically on each SetEffectSet, i execute another 3 SetEffectSet to disable other effects inside try catch like this (the function actually supposed to throw error in this function thus i catch it with try catch)

    private void _resetEffect(string effectName)
    {
        try
        {
            SetEffectSetInt(effectName, 0);

[humble gyro]

what in the ...

[long marsh]

If a clan has 15 people in it, are you suggesting that I store the names of all 15 people in perpetuity? Then whenever I go to "list" all members in the clan, grab them all from cache?

[vocal knot]

no fetch the names from discord depending on what package you use some offer cache

what language is it?

[long marsh]

Doesn't that API have rate limits?

[vocal knot]

i never hit the rate limit

[long marsh]

How often do you hit it and at what scale?

[vocal knot]

my bot is in 662 servers as of now

[deft wolf]

Probably because of cache

[vocal knot]

probably

@long marsh what language and what package do you use

[long marsh]

I'm coming at this from nearly a pure serverless environment where I don't store any cache except for player data. My application is write-heavy.

Here's my thinking:

• User initiates command to do main game action
• If the username is different than what is stored at the database level, update it
  • If the user is in a clan, redundantly store their name there as well

So that whenever a clan is fetched, it has all the member's and their rankings available.

[solemn latch]

Not too hard, if you're going for 1955 technology.

Very very basic cpu design should be taught imo.

[long marsh]

I only use types from discord-api-types since I'm HTTP interaction only. I also don't call back into discord ever either ... I respond within the 3 second threshold.

I'd have to hand-roll any caching mechanisms is what I'm saying.

[vocal knot]

what you can do then store user id and name that way just update it needs to and have your own cache

it's not more work than just keeping username

and add a queue system if you're so scared of ratelimit

[long marsh]

If a player load's a clan and their members, I would prefer not to hit cache 15 times for all 15 players. Rather, I can store their names and ids redundantly on the clan record.

The downside is that I must keep the two spots of data synced. Fortunately, this isn't too bad since I can check to see if their user name in the database matches their current. If so, don't do anything. If not, update the data in two separate places and clear their cache record.

I also only store cached data for up to 5 minutes after update. So if a player continues playing, their 5 min TTL will keep increasing.

[lyric mountain]

doing interactive games without memory persistence is very complicated

simply because you cant hold context for long

using the database to retrieve context is a way, but it'll be N queries every time you need to restore context

[long marsh]

It’ll be two in my case, but yes I agree.

[frosty gale]

using the master class method which lets you retrieve the context using a function and it automatically caches and retrieves from db as needed as well as clearing out old contexts 😋

only bad part about it is you need to be careful not to have multiple cached contexts of the same thing floating around

[earnest phoenix]

So I'm having an issue which was my fault i forgot to apply for intents, i cant use my commands, discord wont verify my intents, i would update it but i cant, because my commands dont work. any help with this?

[lyric mountain]

if you cant get the intents then discord doesn't deem them necessary for ur case

what intent are u trying to get? message?

[earnest phoenix]

nvm its fixed but the issue was there was an glitch when i turned one off it turned them all off and since it was already at 100 servers it wouldnt allow me to enable them

[real rose]

you can use commands with slash commands just fine without intents

[errant rune]

How do I add a hexadecimal color background to the bot's long description?

[deft wolf]

Nekotina even has their website in the long description, I would like to know how they do that too

[deft wolf]

You can use html tags + css

Could you give me an example? I tried to do it but it didn't work

[errant rune]

<style>

[vital mirage]

Something about this system just makes me cream lowk

ignore election

[wheat mesa]

nosql databases make me want to cry

Also is this audit logging but with a single object..? Sounds scary

All fun and games until you have to fetch a resource that gets updated a ton, then finding out you have to pull 5mb of data for one object

[long marsh]

While postgres / traditional SQL databases are perfectly acceptable, I don't mind the challenge of a NoSQL database. I try to use DynamoDB in most of my use-cases. Which is even harsher than stuff like MongoDB

Most of the time, I find myself trusting the application logic > the database. Meaning, I'll do all the validation upfront / merging of data within my application. Database access is typically super dumb. 1-1 for typical CRUD actions.

[wheat mesa]

I still really dislike it. It’s open to too much interpretation on what data is stored where. No rules leads to more bad practices (unintentionally)

[vital mirage]

ive been using it for years and never had any issues

[proven lantern]

DynamoDB is great. so much cheaper than anything else

[long marsh]

If you understand single table design and know your access patterns ahead of time, then yeah – it's amazing.

I suspect I won't pay a dime until I'm hitting hundreds of active users every hour. Which, with my current scale / rollout, won't be for at least another year or two.

[proven lantern]

look how much they give for the free tier

[long marsh]

Correct – that's the tradeoff. I'm okay taking putting the validation layer on the application to determine what the "use" of the data is.

[long marsh]

Haha I'm very aware. It's awesome at scale.

I also use it professionally at my company ... and it currently serves thousands of requests per minute without any hiccup. Postgres could do that too, but at a burden of paying higher monthly costs / maintaining it.

[proven lantern]

same with lambda

[long marsh]

Yep, we're purely serverless. AWS CDK + Lambda + DynamoDB. We do have some queuing for rate limit stuff, but other than it's that simple. The application has made my company $3 million so far ... with initial costs (dev work / sales / etc.) being below $250k in less than a year.

Ofc people costs were the highest portion of that. Actual infra maintenance ... legit tens of dollars per month.

[proven lantern]

why did you choose AWS CDK over AWS SAM?

[long marsh]

I could ask you the same haha, but in reverse.

Last I used SAM, it had a ton of abstraction / opinionated flows for certain things. AWS CDK can be as low-level to CloudFormation as you want. To give you a clearer answer though, our organization has built L3 constructs with business-level opinions in them that all departmental teams consume.

So, the business forces our hand with AWS CDK. It's a delight over terraform though (if you're strictly AWS)

For example, when we spin up an API Gateway, it's automatically deployed with a lambda authorizer that hooks into our organization's authentication / authorization application. Or when an S3 bucket is deployed, it has restrictions imposed at the resource policy level that our org mandates.

[proven lantern]

that makes sense. using a programming language to create the resources instead of configs probably lets you do a lot more custom stuff

[long marsh]

For sure does – just must more power and flexibility.

[tacit estuary]

Is there really no way to get input through both text input or reaction/emoji input from the user? Cause I am thinking about it and they both require a separate def check thing and the one missing an input will get stuck at the other. I swear python is unnecessarily annoying.

You can not even use if/else statement because apparently try/except need to immediatelly follow a def function.

[long marsh]

Does the discord username stay the same? Or can nitro folks change it?

For example, my username is thomas.gt.

[vocal knot]

everyone can change username

the user id tho never changes

saving stuff under username would be really unsecure

[long marsh]

Why would it be "unsecure"?

Is it to prevent people from getting rogue friend requests and stuff?

[pearl trail]

it can be changed

id cant

[vocal knot]

this

[long marsh]

Yeah I store everything via the discord id, but need to showcase a "name" for users in clans. I don't want to have to fetch up to 10+ users each time a clan page is loaded, so I'm redundantly storing the usernames; however, I then need to keep it up-to-date after the fact.

[vocal knot]

even if your app doesn't save sensitive info using username to save stuff under is always bad

[vocal knot]

just save name as well in same DB row

[long marsh]

That's what I was going to do, but they can change after the fact.

[vocal knot]

just have it check from time to time

[pearl trail]

that’s fine, maybe like put expiry

[vocal knot]

this

like have an expiry of like 2 days or idk or when the user runs a command you can check at the same time

[long marsh]

Hmm... maybe. Put like a "expiresAt" time for some distant future such as 2 days?

Or, I can additionally do some extra work to "queue up" name changes. Ie. every time a user clicks a command, queue up a name change if it's not the same one kinda thing

[vocal knot]

yeah

or use both as redundancy

[long marsh]

Yeah. Store the username on the player record, then just check each time if the name is changed. Update the name.

Then, at the caching layer, if it detects that I'm changing the name "queue" up a TTL that one of my workers will scan after the fact.

Side note: would it be better to use the discord username or global_name?

[pearl trail]

imo, global name, because what people see is the global name, not username. also lets take me as example, takiyo is already taken, so i put dot in front of it .takiyo . thats my opinion

[proven lantern]

store username, global_name and nick. then show nick first, global_name second

also make sure to save the user/member data that is resolved in slash commands

might save some api calls

[long marsh]

Yeah, this is what I'm using. I'll likely only store the global_name

[errant rune]

How do I add a website to the bot's long description on Topgg?

and how do I change the background too?

[frosty gale]

aws word vomit detected

[sullen crater]

why would discord limit polls to two weeks 🤨 i cant think of a technical limitation

[real rose]

same as timeouts for 1 week

i wanna timeout for 1 month

[pearl trail]

that's not that bad, like why would you want polls' duration longer? i even forgot polls i participate a week ago if its not because discord notification sent me the result

[sullen crater]

i was thinking of like permanent demographics poll in a locked channel, so anyone who joins later while the server exists can respond to it without a new poll created

embed+reactions w/ a bot works for doing something like that, but thats where i was thinking like. why 2 weeks?

[long marsh]

Haha are you not a fan?

[covert gale]

Timeouts actually go to like 29/30 days if you create it through the api

it's really weird that the UI doesn't support it though

[spark flint]

its 28d max

[covert gale]

i was close

haven't worked with the api in a ages now

[real rose]

bizarre isnt it

[earnest phoenix]

average discord moment

[deft wolf]

I'm just waiting for the server level to have an impact on things like the length of timeouts

[opaque acorn]

How easy is it to migrate to discord.js 14?

[earnest phoenix]

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v14.html#before-you-start

[errant rune]

To change the background, do I have to inspect and see what the name of the class where the long description is located is?

[cursive hare]

How we get bot developer

[deft wolf]

You mean Bot Developer role?

[cursive hare]

Yes

Can you tell

[deft wolf]

You must have an approved bot on top.gg

[cursive hare]

Ok

here is the code that i broke @radiant kraken

wait i think i might know what to fix, brb

[radiant kraken]

i haven't touched discord.js in like 5 years

[bitter granite]

goud the issue.....

found*

i am so dumb

[pearl trail]

quick question, can you put buttons and interact with it in ephemeral?

[sweet sorrel]

jap

[bitter granite]

yes

i prettysure yes

[pearl trail]

oke thanks

[tacit estuary]

I am not even working on buttons today and they are still terrorizing me. They have messed up my visual studio code with yellow lines under most of the imports.

import discord <-
import aiohttp <-
from discord.ui <- import Button, View
from discord.ext <- import commands
from discord <- import app_commands

[solemn latch]

👀 what does it say when you hover over the yellow lines? couldnt import?

[lyric mountain]

what the hell is that syntax?

[tacit estuary]

I added arrows to show the problem, but used picture instead.

[lyric mountain]

ah

[frosty gale]

god i hate pylance

[tacit estuary]

I hate buttons. They are the reason why those yellow lines came up.

[tawdry panther]

pip install discord

pip install aiohttp

else

pip show discord

and same w aiohttp

[tacit estuary]

It mysteriously fixed itself!

[tacit estuary]

That is what I did way earlier and now it mysteriously all work, but I did have to install akinator again to make it fully work again.

[tawdry panther]

weird haha

also have that sometimes

[tacit estuary]

I ran it and all the yellow lines disappeared.

Makes no sense at all.

[tawdry panther]

for some odd reason my giveaways wont end 😂

[tawdry panther]

atleast it works lol

[tacit estuary]

I closed out the vscode and reopened it and they were still there. But I am glad it all working again.

[tawdry panther]

yess nice

[tacit estuary]

Now I can finally add anti cheat thing to one of the games I have since I don't want people cheating.

[tawdry panther]

W

i forgot to add a simple thing so people could do /slots -1B and itll guve them 5b😂😂

[amber rose]

Is this real?

🥶

[tawdry panther]

sadly not😂

[amber rose]

:/

[tawdry panther]

do you think a crypto system would be cool?

[amber rose]

I don’t know

[frosty gale]

please no more crypto

[tawdry panther]

LOL

[real rose]

i respect the honesty

[scenic kelp]

really niche thing but has anyone here ever written a terminal emulator?

i'm writing a crappy terminal emulator thing in typescript and svelte and i'm wondering how soft-wrapping works with ansi cursor manipulation commands

and yes i could write a program to test it myself but that's too simple

[vocal knot]

like as a web ui?

[scenic kelp]

in general

the behaviour should be pretty much identical cause most terminal emulators emulate the VT100

[long marsh]

Are you doing it for learning purposes?

[scenic kelp]

pretty much

[tacit estuary]

Anybody know how to add a timeout type thing to buttons so that once certain time say 20 seconds goes by, the buttons can be removed? And without using anything related to class.

[proven lantern]

i found a quest. so are these only for video games? not for bots?

[pearl trail]

mmmmmm

[bitter granite]

If you have the budget, its possible

[solemn latch]

Why the limit on classes? The library you use is likely entirely classes.

[tacit estuary]

It is way too advanced for me and I am certain nobody can explain it in simple basic English to me. This was the example code that helped me to finally make working buttons for my weather bot. If that can be translated into class, then I can probably figure it out.

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    button1 = Button(label="Click me!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    #button2 = Button(label="Click me2!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    #button3 = Button(label="Click me3!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    
    view = View()
    view.add_item(button1)
    #view.add_item(button2)
    #view.add_item(button3)
    await ctx.send("Hi!", view=view)

    async def button1_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Hi!")
    button1.callback = button1_callback

I am still in shock that the buttons worked after 2 or 3 years of attempts and it feels crazy.

[solemn latch]

Classes are no more complex or confusing than lists and dicts.
An afternoon to understand them at most.

[small tangle]

It is only too advanced for you now just spend some time to improve your knowledge and skills Frankly, youll not improve your language skills otherwise

[tacit estuary]

But list and dict are super easy to figure out. I will say dict is the more complex one but even that is still easy. But class is very complex. Anything that explains what they mean always use very complicated vocabulary. Then again, so does all of coding from what I can tell.

I am done with all that stuff tonight.

[tacit estuary]

I got the buttons to disappear after timeout.

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail is this too hacky

i'm thinking of making form on top of #inverse

but z-index isn't working

😭

fyi ```css
nav #search form {
z-index: 2;
}

nav #search #inverse {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
}

nav #search #inverse * {
pointer-events: none;
user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
}

i can't select nav #search form #box

cc @civic scroll too

wait nevermind solved it by making nav #search #inverse pointer-events: none; 😭

i'm so stupid

[pearl trail]

what are you trying to achieve?

[radiant kraken]

I GOT IT WORKING

WOOOOOOOO

[radiant kraken]

search box that goes from this to this on focus

as it focuses it should have an animation that goes from the state above to below like this

idk the idea just popped up in my head

maybe using two elements and two clip-paths is too hacky though

need to know sayuri's thoughts on this

what do you think?

[pearl trail]

smth like this?

[pearl trail]

also, use position relative

[prime cliff]

Got all of my account, profile and team stuff done just need to work on fancy server features now

[radiant kraken]

YES 😭

how did u do that

i want that

oh my god i suck at css so much

[prime cliff]

It's just a css animation for the input background when you hover or focus it

[radiant kraken]

it's not that simple builderb

[prime cliff]

It is

[radiant kraken]

what about the input text

and search icon

[prime cliff]

Same thing hover/focus change text/icon color

It's basically like when you hover over a button and it changes the design

[radiant kraken]

[prime cliff]

In cats case though it has an animation delay before it changes color so it dosen't look like it instantly changes and syncs with the background animation

[radiant kraken]

nah it seems that it's all just mix-blend-mode

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail i got it working without the cyan!!!

trying to find a way for the other way around tho

[pearl trail]

congrats 🎉

[radiant kraken]

you also don't need the background-clip btw

[radiant kraken]

@pearl trail

[wheat mesa]

css is pain

good thing I don't deal with css

(crying rn dealing with css at work)

[radiant kraken]

css is very ez

definitely

[wheat mesa]

I am dealing with css combined with searching for DOM elements with jquery

and our html structure is so inconsistent

[pearl trail]

👀

ah nvm it's just their promotion to buy their AI Assistant

[solemn latch]

What is it?

[deft wolf]

L AD

[solemn latch]

If you think of a class as just a dict with functions inside they're really simple. You're combining dicts and functions.

A lot of online teachers make this a day 3-5 subject. I promise you they're not as complex as you think.

[pearl trail]

it's something like copilot, but from jetbrains. they got local AI completion that runs on your device (it's free) and that AI Cloud, which is just like copilot with few more features (paid, 7 days free trial)

it randomly appeared when i'm opening my ide lmao, even tho i already used it

i thought it's now free since there's no "Paid" in that window

[radiant kraken]

gotta jump on the AI bandwagon

[solemn latch]

I still like using AI for some really basic stuff, bouncing ideas off it to find a better solution to a problem.
Or fixing type errors that I'm too lazy to think through.

Autocomplete is stinky though, and just using the code it outputs. yikes.

I'm still paying for github copilot 👀

[wheat mesa]

I'm fine with using AI as long as I understand what it's generating

It's not amazing, but it def helps me out with frontend stuff since I'm not super well versed in standard practices for that

I usually use it to bounce ideas off of it as well

[solemn latch]

I think my big issue with AI is just newer developers using it.

[wheat mesa]

It's like a more advanced rubber duck

Yeah

I'm still pretty new since I'm an intern, but damn some of my classmates cannot do ANYTHING without it

Also note to self: do not write your own keyboard navigation system for a jquery app

I thought it was gonna be a little 15-20h adventure and I wouldn't have to touch it again

Probably like 50-60h in on updating it to handle more and more things 😭

[solemn latch]

not in jquery, but I didnt like handling in site autocomplete. Not fun

[wheat mesa]

The code I originally wrote for this system was actually pretty clean

Now it's just urban sprawl

[wheat mesa]

I'm glad someone else wrote that part of this project

[solemn latch]

Its satisfying when it finally works, other than that no thanks not again.

Its not even compatible with screen readers, which makes it worse. I'll work on that eventually.

I added all the keyboard inputs just to help screenreaders too 👀 but never took the time to properly get a screenreader to work properly.

[radiant kraken]

interesting

i've still never touched ai

i always resort to classic googling

[vocal knot]

google is god

[scenic kelp]

i did some testing and the behaviour was actually a lot simpler than I expected

basically soft wrapping just moves the cursor, period. there's no additional visual buffer required like i thought there'd be

control characters are also simple to implement that way

[pearl trail]

that reminds me of minecraft

[surreal sage]

sigh

nvm node 21 moment

[merry crescent]

first discord bot completed! ahhhhhhh

[tacit estuary]

I look into it. I got school book for python. It's an ebook, so it takes longer to load.

[long marsh]

Congrats!

[merry crescent]

thanks

[azure trench]

How good do bots havr to be to be tested

Is 25 unique commands and fetures enough for first attempt

If majority wofk

Work

Or is 100% operational preffered

I have a multi functional game bot

[harsh nova]

we don't mind the number of commands at all. A bot can have 1 command and still be accepted

[azure trench]

Wow ok

[harsh nova]

as long as you follow our bot guidelines you'll be fine

[azure trench]

Thanks plety

i think im going to wait till its done tho

im too embarassed

i diddnt even really code it

chatgpt did

im just the ideasman

its like 20k lines of code now tho

my brain has broken learning this much

sneak peek

https://prnt.sc/NOTtN-IJxhsg

one of the cards it makes

[harsh nova]

looks good! :D

[azure trench]

ty ❤️

its so hard

ive never coded before

its taken weeks of hourless sleep

ontop of work

[harsh nova]

yeah it's quite a journey to learn lol but it's fun!

[azure trench]

learnt SQL etc

cant believe how far ive come

[harsh nova]

insanely useful

[azure trench]

i turned a laptop i owned

into a server

to host this

[harsh nova]

nice!

[azure trench]

ive literally done A-Z

cant wait to finish

im surprised it doesnt have to be complete to be trialed here

ill make it way less buggy tho

coz im sure complete products are always preffered :3

[harsh nova]

well it's hard to say a bot is ever completed You can always expand your bot with more commands and such. All that is important is that it follows our guidelines

a good rule of thumb is quality over quantity tho. A bot with 5 really well made commands might do better than a bot with a lot of just decent commands

[azure trench]

yeah

im going to convert this bot when im done

to a playstation bot

that accepts gpt created game files

and provides instructions on how to create them

then reads and generates games

will be my next project

just gotta get this bot reading this game properly haha

[sharp geyser]

I thought this was a outline, but when I set it to none it still appears

[pearl trail]

border?

[solemn latch]

Why does it look like browser highlighting to me

[sharp geyser]

Ive disabled just about everything i can think of

And no dice

I think it might be browser related

[queen needle]

could be autocomplete highlight or a focus

[harsh nova]

This screams of some obscure -moz css rule

I wish there was some way to indicate that you want to disable default css for elements

[azure trench]

omg i reset my database on my bot today

and just did a flawless pipeline test

i wanna squeal

im such a noob at coding

2 months for this ;-;

first project ever

[sharp geyser]

Just dont rely on gpt

as a new programmer it is more harmful if used improperly

[lament rock]

One thing people tend to do (myself included sometimes) is just accept the answers without taking time to understand what it all means and sanity checking it. I used GPT to help me learn blender python a bit since concrete scripting examples for what I wanted to do were sparse from my searches. It was only after I decided afterwards to look at it did I realize there were quite a few flaws and some practices were outdated

[sharp geyser]

So this isnt the effect I was going for, I want it to slide back in from the top, when they scroll up even if they aren't at the top of the page.

<script lang="ts">
    import '../app.css';

    import { onMount } from 'svelte';

    let openState = $state(false);

    onMount(() => {
        let lastScrollY = 0;

        window.addEventListener('scroll', ()=> {
            const header = document.getElementById('header');
            const currentScrollY = window.scrollY;

            if(currentScrollY > lastScrollY) {
                // @ts-ignore
                header.style.transform = 'translateY(-100%)';
            } else {
                // @ts-ignore
                header.style.transform = 'translateY(0%)';
            }

            lastScrollY = currentScrollY;
        })
    })

</script>

[sharp geyser]

Ignore the movie in the background I didn’t realize until just now

[queen needle]

So always scroll them to the top? or

I just am having a bit of trouble understanding what you mean is all

[sharp geyser]

So when you scroll down, it like transitions up right, like "slides" up, and when you scroll back up it will slide back down.

[pearl trail]

can you make a variable? just compare is the current scroll is less than the prev

temp = 0;
up = false;

onscroll {
  if current < temp && !up // then it's scrolling up, set up to true
  else if current > temp // set up to false
  temp = current;
}

[sharp geyser]

Im confused

What are you asking / telling me to do

[pearl trail]

oh wait, didnt see the code fully

[queen needle]

So the scrolls, either direction are a transition scroll

[sharp geyser]

Yes

[pearl trail]

can you like debug it with console logs? i usually do that if i find a problem

[sharp geyser]

I want to the navbar to not always be there when they are scrolling through content

but they can bring it back by scrolling up

[queen needle]

OHH

https://discord.mx/v/vOCOYzWOEY.mp4

I thought you meant like this

[sharp geyser]

Nah

The navbar

I want it to transition based on the scroll

[queen needle]

Just to make sure i have this right

Navbar at top, scroll down the page as normal, but when i scroll up it should show the navbar but not bring me all the way back up the page

[sharp geyser]

Correct

Since I dont want the navbar in the way 24/7

but I want it to look nice, not like it just poofs

So I figured a translate would work

[queen needle]

https://discord.mx/v/y2NWr2sVOs.mp4

something like that

[sharp geyser]

Woah that wasnt exactly

but that looks cool too

I wanted it to transition up off screen

[pearl trail]

[sharp geyser]

then abck down when thye scrolled up

YEA

like that

[queen needle]

ohhh

mine used react anyway

[pearl trail]

but you still need the logic

[queen needle]

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

export function useScroll(threshold = 100) {
  const [scrollDirection, setScrollDirection] = useState("up");
  const [scrollPosition, setScrollPosition] = useState(0);
  const [prevOffset, setPrevOffset] = useState(0);

  const updateScroll = () => {
    const scrollY = window.pageYOffset;
    setScrollPosition(scrollY);
    if (scrollY > prevOffset) {
      setScrollDirection("down");
    } else if (scrollY < prevOffset) {
      setScrollDirection("up");
    }
    setPrevOffset(scrollY);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    window.addEventListener("scroll", updateScroll);
    return () => {
      window.removeEventListener("scroll", updateScroll);
    };
  }, [prevOffset, threshold]);

  return { scrollDirection, scrollPosition };
}

I just used this old hook

[sharp geyser]

I see

I use svelte

so

[queen needle]

Yeah i realized that lol

that's why the just pure js solution Takiyo is way better

[pearl trail]

hmm but my code is basically the same as code that aaron sent

[sharp geyser]

yea

except mine aint working

💀

[pearl trail]

can you do smth like this? console.log([currentScrollY , lastScrollY ]);

and see the result

[queen needle]

Can you check and make sure the styles are getting applied to your nav?

[pearl trail]

also is the header position is fixed?

and not block/absolute/relative

[sharp geyser]

it is

fjxedi mean

let me check the other question

[sharp geyser]

The styles are indeed applied

[queen needle]

this is odd

[sharp geyser]

ITs being applied to the outer div tho

[queen needle]

oh yeah that's why

because that's not the fixed div

[sharp geyser]

Ah

ea

it works now but the problem is

Now its all the way to the left

No longer centered

[pearl trail]

use transform: translateX(-50%) and left 50%

[queen needle]

https://discord.mx/i/s5bROIOAlI.png I hate discord

why did they think to add reaction notifications

[queen needle]

or try switching where the styles are being applied

[sharp geyser]

How do I center it

if I need to make sure its fixed

[pearl trail]

either pancake's answer or mine

[sharp geyser]

I cant apply the styles to Appbar

it doesnt accept an ID field that the js uses

[queen needle]

it is a testid

which i'd assume is unique

but if not just try Takiyo's answer of applying those styles to the outer div

[sharp geyser]

Well

it works on the outer div

but like I said it makes it not centered

[pearl trail]

huh

flex justify-center ? to make the child centered

[sharp geyser]

you cant combine fixed with flex

<div id="header" class="flex flex-row justify-center p-4 fixed">

applying flexed, will ruin the flexbox properties

[queen needle]

https://jsfiddle.net/rubiksking124/k2refh68/9/

centered and still has the scroll thing

[pearl trail]

me trying to ignore the codes without ; at the end

[queen needle]

the formatter automatically gets rid of them

[pearl trail]

💀

[queen needle]

https://discord.mx/v/fW4zf12sSS.mp4

[pearl trail]

that broke my heart 💔

[queen needle]

I agree

[vocal knot]

beat it up until it adds it back

[amber rose]

What does this have to do with Discord applications?

“Hey help me fix this BF cell loop I need it for my app”

[vocal knot]

no where does it say it has to be discord related

[solemn latch]

This channel is related to anything development ^-^

[quartz kindle]

how can i develop a fulfilling relationship

[deft wolf]

You can't

[quartz kindle]

rip

[solemn latch]

is it time to start a bromance with tim?

[quartz kindle]

kurwa

how to develop resistance to disappointment

and how to get this disappointment out of my fucking head

:^)

[deft wolf]

It's against ToS to be a programmer and be in a relationship 🤓☝️

[quartz kindle]

who made that ToS

imma sue

[deft wolf]

Probably the same one who decided that if you play League of Legends you can't take a shower

[quartz kindle]

that one's a lie, i playe league and i do take showers

just not that often

[sharp geyser]

Yes okay

Now we know tim is a liar

[vocal knot]

so like once every 5 year?

[abstract charm]

I'm having trouble with the images not showing up on my top.gg page

I'm using markdown's

Is that correct? Or am I missing something here

[earnest phoenix]

it's correct

[abstract charm]

I think something is wrong with my image hosting then

[earnest phoenix]

just be sure the link is actually an image and not some page like imgur

[abstract charm]

I'll keep messing with it

[abstract charm]

That's probably my problem tbh

does google drive work? i assumed it would, but it isn't

[deft wolf]

Upload the photo to imgur and copy the direct link to the image

Google drive is able to store photos, but you are not able to place links to them on external sites in such a way that they will be displayed

[abstract charm]

I got it, I just routed the link through duck duck go instead and it works with google drive

[deft wolf]

Weird

[abstract charm]

yeah, i found a super niche and outdated reddit post about the same issue

[lyric mountain]

I'd recommend imgbb instead

[deft wolf]

I've never used it

[lyric mountain]

imgur sometimes delete less viewed images

[sharp geyser]

Am I dumb or is the content not supposed to be below the header?

https://pastes.dev/Cc5i3emv7Z

Dk if its the best method

but I added top padding to the body content

Though I do notice when scrolling the text shows over the nav

is this a z-index issue?

Yep

Seems to be

😎

[sharp geyser]

Current progres

I hate web design but I think im cooking

[azure trench]

i cant code

thats why i use gpt

but its doing well

i know what correct and incorrect code looks like

i just cannot create it off my own knowledge

[harsh nova]

Would probably be a good idea to ease into it and properly learn to code on your own Even if you continue using gpt to help you write it'll be way easier to squash bugs that way

[vocal knot]

you just need to learn good searching skills

then you learn as you do it

[azure trench]

ive been improving ALOT

at identifying the specific issues

once i used all my gpt plus membership

like the cooldowns

i started a weebit of trying myself and it worked

[vocal knot]

ask any good programmer and they'll tell you they do alot of googling and shit

[azure trench]

i kinda know what im supposed to see but if u asked me how to make it from scratch

[harsh nova]

Lol yeah good googling is half the job

[vocal knot]

yep

[harsh nova]

Not that it does not require skill as you need to nail down what precisely the issue is and figure out how to fix it with help from the info Google provided

[vocal knot]

yeah

[wheat mesa]

this is a bad habit to have

I think that GPT is going to set back CS student/junior dev knowledge a ton

Nobody thinks about how to approach a problem anymore, they let gpt do it for them

[sharp geyser]

I won’t lie I’ve started getting into this habit

I am starting to cut gpt off for backend development

I’ll still use it for front end

[azure trench]

im not a cs student tho

this is a hobby

im a language interpreter and commercial cleaner

[wheat mesa]

I’m just saying that if you want to actually learn how to code, don’t use gpt for anything except for bouncing ideas off of it

[azure trench]

yeah

[tacit estuary]

This was a hobby for me too and have improved tremendously from 4 years ago. Also Basil!
#UnexpectedOmori

[queen needle]

I've fallen into this trap, the other day i used it for an implementation of quick sort

After I did that I realized how much it's infringed on programming for me, and I won't let myself use it

[wheat mesa]

To be fair, quick sort is an algorithm that isn’t exactly intuitive to begin with. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, but it is important to understand the ideas behind it

[queen needle]

Well imo it is one of the easiest sorting algorithms besides bubble sort to read how it works and implement

[wheat mesa]

I’d say that selection and insertion sorts are more intuitive

[queen needle]

I agree with selection I forgot about that

https://github.com/Cinnamonsroll/sorting-algorithms/tree/main

These are the only sorting algorithms I know

[pearl trail]

because its fixed

[tacit estuary]

Questions about discord.py.
1: Can you use slash command and then get text input from a user? Example: /slash -> user input 1 2 3 4 5 6
2: Can you use slash command and then get text input from a user multiple times? Example: /slash -> user input 1 2 3 4 5 6 -> user input 7 8 9 10 11 -> user input 12 13 14 15
3: Are you allowed to use while loop when using buttons? Example: Button gets pressed -> Cycles thorough while loop again and user gets next set of buttons

[quartz kindle]

yes
yes
yes

[tacit estuary]

Just to be clear, that user input can be text based? I thought of a way for buttons to have while loop and chatgpt kinda confirmed it for me. I mean yes yes yes tank you.

[pearl trail]

type: String?

[sharp geyser]

Yea I forgot you need to mess with z index

[sharp geyser]

How can I make it so that the height remains fixed, and the text doesn't move as its being typed out.

I tried setting a height

but the result remains the same

maybe the height just isn't enough

But the top text always moves up as the bottom is being typed out

[spark flint]

set minimum height

so its forced to be that height

[sharp geyser]

smart

let me try

[sharp geyser]

You are a godsent

It works wonderfully know

I might get rid of the transition honestly

It looks weird with just my face STAYING there

😭

[pearl trail]

make it like this

™️

[sharp geyser]

Oh my god

I totally would

but that would def fuck up the page

[past rampart]

You should take a better picture bro 😭

[earnest phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/staring-meme-gif-705829194042584208

[sharp geyser]

Its filler

Better pic will def be up before I launch my portfolio

💀

Its also an old picture of me

so

and the only one I have

😭

[past rampart]

Try to make the same fade in time with the picture it's so weird that someone stares at you before you get information about them

[sharp geyser]

lmao

[sharp geyser]

let index = 0;
    let typedChar = "";
    let typewriter: ReturnType<typeof setInterval>;
    const typeChar = () => {
        if(index < phrase.length) {
            typedChar += phrase[index]
            index += 1;
        } else {
            clearInterval(typewriter)
        }
    }

Love how simple a typewriter effect can be

[pearl trail]

hmmmm

should i be concerned

[sharp geyser]

What is the tld extension

[sharp geyser]

Prokbun told me the same thing for my .gg domain

💀

[pearl trail]

like .com ? if yes, it's .us

[sharp geyser]

im sorry what

Ah

wait

I understand now

[pearl trail]

yeah i dont know much about domains 😅

[sharp geyser]

.us domains aren't typically protected by WHOIS protection by porkbun

[pearl trail]

oh i see

i guess that's why the retail price is a bit lower than namecheap?

[earnest phoenix]

whois protection is usually free

[sharp geyser]

Is my main container not supposed to be the full height?

The green background stops short

I am visualizing where stuff goes and their bounds

[wheat mesa]

check for margin, sometimes the body element has some defaults iirc

You can also visualize the layout by using dev tools instead of changing the background color

[sharp geyser]

AH

right

margin

Love it

[quartz kindle]

or use a css normalizer

[pearl trail]

what is that?

[sharp geyser]

Visualizing the bounds of divs

[sharp geyser]

It resets css defaults to normalized levels

e.g setting it to 0 on margin and such

[pearl trail]

is it some kind like this? or we do it manually like usual? because what i caught from tim's message is it is a module or some kind

[sharp geyser]

Likely a module or smt

idk

[sharp geyser]

are you speaking of normalize.css?

[earnest phoenix]

actually just a file

[sharp geyser]

Well yea

its a css file

that you import globally

afaik

[earnest phoenix]

yeap

[quartz kindle]

there are other similar ones but yes

its mainly to correct diverging defaults accross different browsers

but also remove defaults that dont make sense

[sharp geyser]

I will give it a shot

[quartz kindle]

its basically a one-liner you can copy paste into your own css if you want

or you can include it as a separate css file

[sharp geyser]

yea

[vocal knot]

i didn't know about normalize.css I'll also keep thay saved somewhere foe if i ever need it

will probably use it sooner than later when I'll make at least a home page and help page for my bot

[real rose]

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cssviewer/ggfgijbpiheegefliciemofobhmofgce?hl=en i use this quite often

can be helpful

[pearl trail]

whoa, that's very helpful

thankss

[sharp geyser]

Thank you

[sharp geyser]

I have a blinking cursor but it wont be centered properly. When I try it gets to the end and gets stuck there while the text continues (as shown in second video)

<p class="text-xl cursor flex items-center gap-2">{typedChar}</p>

    .cursor::after {
            content: "";
            width: 2px;
            height: 20px;
            display: inline-block;
            @apply bg-surface-400;
            animation: cursor-blink 1.5s steps(2) infinite;
    }

  @keyframes cursor-blink {
      0% {
          opacity: 0;
      }
  }

this is the cursor class

[quartz kindle]

i wouldnt use flex for this

use a flex container if you must, but keep the text itself inline

ie make both <p> and .cursor display:inline

assuming they are siblings

oh nvm, they are the same element lol

either try display:inline on the ::after, or try absolute positioning shenanigans

if it doesnt work, make them two separate inline elements

[sharp geyser]

Ah yea I ended up using a lib

cause

I needed more features

and I wasnt going to spend time coding it myself

💀

[quartz kindle]

lazy

[lethal tide]

@quartz kindle

[sharp geyser]

no WAY you called ME lazy

Sir

where is your astronomy api

[quartz kindle]

erm...

🏃‍♂️

[sharp geyser]

💀

[vital mirage]

is it worth the effort and probably months of time to make a dashboard for my bot

[wheat mesa]

Do you want to do it to make money or to learn?

[vital mirage]

i made it for the purpose of learning djs14 and i dont have the desire to add premium features

But its going to have a lot of commands

a configurations for commands like changing certain channels for certain features

[wheat mesa]

I would say that if you’re doing it purely for the sake of your bot, it’s probably not worth it (unless it’s popular). If you’re doing it because you also want to learn in the process, go for it, you’ll learn a ton

hi chat

trying to setup gh workflow for building and releasing a version of a gh action

but struggling heavy rn

[earnest phoenix]

average gh actions moment

[surreal sage]

nvm got it

pure suicide

[earnest phoenix]

how many commits

i actually managed to make a simple workflow in a single commit lmao

was surprised myself

[surreal sage]

heh...

think like

40 now

okay buddy

[earnest phoenix]

🗿 average github ci

oh wait this is my retardism oops

[prime crescent]

ive seen slash commands with form inputs, as in a pop up on your screen where every text input is presented and you write in the form instead of the slash command.

What is this called? i cant find any docs on it and im prolly searching for the wrong thing

[deft wolf]

Modals?

yeah thats it, thank you

[vocal knot]

i love google lol right when i published a website for my bot it got reported to google as phishing LOL at least it only took them a few hours to unflag it after i appealed it but bruh

[solemn latch]

👀

did you register it on google console before it was flagged for phishing?

[vocal knot]

no only after

[solemn latch]

I wonder if it wouldnt have flagged you if you did that first.

[vocal knot]

probably wouldn't have

also what i find funny is the website is pure html LOL

[solemn latch]

classic

litterally

[vocal knot]

all it links to is discord

forgot i disabled cursor for screenshots but the cursor is on the Add to Discord

[lament rock]

I recently took on the task of trying to make a queue and lock system across multiple processes for syncing rate limit buckets for Discord but god do I hate this

[wheat mesa]

Enjoy your IPC!

[lament rock]

NOOO

[ionic schooner]

That sounds like fun, I have an idea!!!!!!!!! make a microservice for it lol

Maybe even redis

[sharp geyser]

I have an even better idea

Dont do it!!!

[lament rock]

Redis was an actual thing I got as a response when I asked the project lead, but this is actually for a lib I maintain and a goal was to make it where people didn't have to use something proprietary so that they can mix and match and was easily extendable

[lament rock]

I kinda have to at scale. We have a proxy service, but you can only make so many requests per IP

[vital mirage]

I would love to learn, and i arleady know pretty advanced react ts but my biggest problem is i am very much not visually creative

So the whole designing it would probably take years

[quartz kindle]

is the goal to be horizontally scalable across machines?

if not, then i suggest lmdb

[smoky kestrel]

where i can find this

[smoky kestrel]

can u trll me bro

[deft wolf]

It's not something you can find, it's something you type yourself

[quartz kindle]

go to your topgg bot page, edit, webhook

write anything you want in "authorization", and write exactly the same thing in TOPGG_WEBHOOK_AUTH

[bitter granite]

https://top.gg/bot/<your bot id>/webhooks

[pine willow]

Something like this isnt against top.gg rules right?

[bitter granite]

I mean thats just a random picture of a person

I dont see what its against the rules

[pine willow]

Its AI checking an Image. And its being saved temp on my Servers.

Because of privacy I mean

[bitter granite]

As long as it has pp and tos about it, its fine

[pine willow]

alr

It has

[sharp geyser]

Long time no see stranger

[pine willow]

dam

[frosty gale]

until someone complains that its racist anyways

[pine willow]

where is that racist

[real rose]

I believe they're referring to the possibility of the bot misidentifying someones race

As AI won't always be 100% accurate

[deft wolf]

If someone squinted and the bot thought they were Asian, I can see a situation in which someone might feel offended

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wheat mesa]

I think it really depends on how you interpret the results. The AI isn't intentionally racist, it's just predicting a set of statistics based on its training data. Sometimes AIs are wrong.

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[vocal knot]

well it can be because some of the data it's trained on is from racist people

[green kestrel]

so long as the data doesn't train the ai, if it does it's against Discord's own tos

[pine willow]

It doesnt.

AI is already trained

doesnt need data

[pine willow]

I could remove that field

But then the gender would be an Issue lol

[deft wolf]

Oh brother

[pine willow]

because yk, some LGBTQ members are very pissed abt that

[pine willow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[deft wolf]

I mean it's AI not you so they can be mad at AI

[pine willow]

I already got alot of hate because the AI said that only male and female exists.

😭

[wheat mesa]

You can get offended about anything. I'm sure there are improvements you can make, but even the most well funded AIs (ChatGPT) aren't perfect at preventing offensive content from getting through

[deft wolf]

AI is ruthless

[pine willow]

Well the AI knows the differnce lmao

I tested it

[earnest phoenix]

miss the old days where ML wasn't called AI

[pine willow]

Yea its ML

[earnest phoenix]

or where crypto wasn't cryptocurrency

[wheat mesa]

I’ll be completely honest I don’t know the difference, I just know there is one

[pine willow]

But most people know more what I mean if I say AI

[earnest phoenix]

ML isn't supposed to mimic a human

[wheat mesa]

I was under the impression that ML fell under the umbrella of AI, it’s just more specialized to completing specific tasks

[earnest phoenix]

yeah it does

though now people say AI for everything because it became the buzzword to use

e.g. self driving cars also use ML

but people just say AI because that's the only word people understand these days

[pine willow]

yh

But yeah it doesnt say asia if the person in the Image squints

[pine willow]

real

[earnest phoenix]

yeah but probably meant more people imitating asian eyes, not just squinting your eyes

[pine willow]

1 min

[earnest phoenix]

can't find a good picture tbh

[pine willow]

Exactly my problem

[earnest phoenix]

apparently called slanted eyes gesture

[pine willow]

Yea found some Images

None of them got detected as asian

Maybe because its a bad Image

[green kestrel]

try a pic of a dog

I'm curious what it'll do

[pine willow]

It will say "No faces found"

but sure
