development

[sharp geyser]

and all those calls require async

😭

[queen needle]

Which can be done on the server/nextjs api?

[sharp geyser]

Partially yes

but the client still needs to call those api and respond to it / get the data returned

I guess I could possibly offload everything to the server and mitigate my need for async on the client

but i'd still need async to some degree

One idea I thought of is to cut off what I need to do in half but just creating stripe connected accounts on signup instead of doing it all at once when they want to make a seller account

[radiant kraken]

WHAAAATTTTT HOWWWW i literally just removed a macro 😭

[queen needle]

well i'd go the route that creates the least amount of client promises and then use .then or try and create a async hook which just returns a wrapped function

[sharp geyser]

[quartz kindle]

can you access the return value of the Page function on the client side?

[sharp geyser]

wym

Page is the function that renders the html elements

[quartz kindle]

so you never access its return value anywhere? does it have to return raw html?

[sharp geyser]

nextjs handles whatever the return value of the page function is

I dont do it myself

[willow ether]

can't you do whatever you need to with direct dom manipulation within a component?

[quartz kindle]

i see, then you need to find somehwere else to use your async functinos

[sharp geyser]

That's not the problem Belligerent Engine

Manipulating the dom isn't what im even trying to do

[willow ether]

yeah I kind of undertand the issue, but doesn't the framework you are using have an "out" to just use raw html/js to solve a problem?

[queen needle]

What I did when I needed to use async, is i had a server component be the main, which did all of the data manipulation or api handling, and then returned a client component, which passed down the data as parameters

[sharp geyser]

I really hate how im currently doing things tbh

Even if I get it to work its not ideal

[queen needle]

If you don't judge the code:
https://github.com/Cinnamonsroll/bkmrks/blob/main/app/[username]/[bookmark]/page.tsx
Is the server component

https://github.com/Cinnamonsroll/bkmrks/blob/main/app/[username]/[bookmark]/components/BookmarkPage.tsx is the client component

[sharp geyser]

My code isn't any better

im a backend dev trying to make frontend shit work

😭

[radiant kraken]

😭

[quartz kindle]

sveltekit has await html blocks

{#await promise}
    <!-- promise is pending -->
    <p>waiting for the promise to resolve...</p>
{:then value}
    <!-- promise was fulfilled or not a Promise -->
    <p>The value is {value}</p>
{:catch error}
    <!-- promise was rejected -->
    <p>Something went wrong: {error.message}</p>
{/await}

xD

[queen needle]

Love that, jealous of that

[sharp geyser]

I think I need to rethink how i do everything tbh

[queen needle]

@pulsar roost you're a big brain on how to use async with next

[quartz kindle]

according to nextjs docs, they suggest putting async code in a server component, and access it from the client

[sharp geyser]

Right now I have a button (which is its own component) that creates a stripe account, then redirects to a different page with a query param with the account id In it

then that page handles creating the session and embedding the stripe onboarding component

I am hating frontend work can someone else do it for me plez

[queen needle]

See I would, but from all of today with how much you've complained about stripe, I no no wanna

[quartz kindle]

https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/no-async-client-component

[sharp geyser]

I will pay 1 schmeckle an day

[sharp geyser]

Realistically its not bad

if you know hwo to do frontend shit

I just dont

😭

[queen needle]

I do like 45%

[quartz kindle]

doesnt stripe have managed checkout pages?

like iframes and shit

[sharp geyser]

Yeah but then I can't do certain things

[quartz kindle]

so you dont have to fully integrate it

rip

[queen needle]

We believe in you, you got this

[sharp geyser]

I dont

I think the first step is to remove all stripe integration so far in the pages

and redo it all

Start from scratch with a different approach

Cause how im doing it now is going to be aids to maintain

[queen needle]

real

[willow ether]

I don't do a lot of frontend but used to write a lot of tooling and build/integration stuff during the fun period when React was new and shiny. JS frameworks tend to be very overdesigned and opinionated.

[queen needle]

The point of JS frameworks is to be so bad, someone builds one to compete which has it's own issues, rinse and repeat and eventually there is a good one

[quartz kindle]

xD

[willow ether]

I like to point out that one of the best websites I've ever used is Mcmaster-carr. And its built with aspx pages and popsicle sticks.

[quartz kindle]

you combine the flags

[long marsh]

I thought for sure they were additive, but I wasn't entirely certain. Thank you!

[pulsar roost]

huh

man just default export function async Page() { /*** stuff... **//}

[quartz kindle]

nah man, just function Page export async default static class readonly { stuff }

[queen needle]

I thought async exports didn't work with next

[sharp geyser]

Can client components be async?

From what I've seen and experienced they cannot be

[pulsar roost]

no

[pearl trail]

why do you need async tho

[pulsar roost]

probably to do something like this

aka get data server side

[sharp geyser]

Yeah thats the approach ima take

Ima mimic pancake and have a server page that renders a client component of the page and just pass data to it as needed as child props

[pearl trail]

lmao

[queen needle]

10/10

[sharp geyser]

Yeah that’s exactly what ima do

I do similar when rendering the navbar

I prefetch the session and pass it

Granted I think I can make the navbar a server component now that I’m not using hooks anymore in it but I can’t remember

[pearl trail]

yeah right

[glass ridge]

hi

[neon leaf]

Rust cat

[quartz kindle]

what

[neon leaf]

why utf5

doesnt that mean each scalar value is 5 bits

so 4 actual data bits?

[quartz kindle]

yes and no

it uses a user-definable character table of 30 characters that are mapped to 5 bits each

31 and 32 are reserved values for characters not in the table

[neon leaf]

least cursed thing ive heard from you

[quartz kindle]

lmao

there are many attempts and variations on utf5 out there

i just saw another interesting one that uses a sliding window

im gonna test it out later

but this one is pretty ok, only about 30% slower than naive utf8

best case scenario it uses on average 2 bytes for every 3 characters

[neon leaf]

and worst case it uses more than utf8, no?

[quartz kindle]

characters in range 00 to FF use 13 bits each, characters in range 00FF-FFFF use 21 bits each

utf8 already uses 16 bits for chars above 127, so its not that bad

[neon leaf]

me when 嗨

[quartz kindle]

that would take 3 bytes in either one

[neon leaf]

hmm

[quartz kindle]

24 bits in utf8 and 21 bits on mine

[neon leaf]

not horrible then

[quartz kindle]

but if you put it in the character table, it will take 5 bits

[neon leaf]

well yes but thats cheating

[quartz kindle]

yup

the only problem is performance, its slower than utf8

[neon leaf]

well duh

working with 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits is always faster (tho 32 and 64 are always fastest)

[quartz kindle]

maybe if i make a c++ addon for it

:^)

[neon leaf]

make it in rust

i dare u

[quartz kindle]

Should I do a stepper ui when people signup for my project?

Are those even good UX/UI wise?

[pearl trail]

well depend on how many data you ask

[frosty patio]

so my discord bot has two plans that are both lifetime one gives 10 channels access and one gives unlimited channels, now the way I have it set up is when they have 10 channels premium they can't upgrade to unlimited and idk if thats good or bad bcz I dont want them to pay twice

[lyric mountain]

well, just charge the difference

[quartz kindle]

yeah, make a new plan that acts as an upgrade between them

• Hidden command blocks that could be hidden and shared with malicious requests and token exposed.
• Parsing variables by default so you can get any variable such as intetaction_token with any user input command that echos the output e.g a note command.

[dusk tangle]

[pearl trail]

hello, so i want to ask a question. if you're making a mobile app prototype that works, and have a page that's long enough for scrolling, do you make the frame long to cover all the contents or keep it cropped to the phone size? like in the picture, is it preferred to do the long one or short? and also for fixed element at the bottom of the phone, if i choose the long one, i need to put it in the middle where the actual bottom phone position is at

[queen needle]

I'm probably not the greatest person to answer this and maybe don't perfectly understand, but if something is fixed to the bottom it should stay there, so if it's like infinite scrolling it should always stay the bottom, depending on what it is, it might scroll and change positions like go to the top, or to the left and right

But also like I said I might be completely misunderstanding your question and you can just ignore me

[pearl trail]

oh it's fine, the main question from me is that, is it preferred to have long frame to fit all contents or have phone-sized frame and have the contents hidden below it?
the squared element on the long frame is required to be at that position like in the screenshot or else it's hidden because it's out of phone's size range

sorry if my question is not clear enough

[crystal plover]

when i run my bot
all cogs load up

bot prints .env token is there and loaded

but it does not print logged in as bot

any solution how ?

[lament rock]

is it supposed to automatically print that or do you have a print to say that?

[hidden gorge]

does this look like a bad profile concept?

[compact condor]

this is quite nice plus the hierarchy is well done but maybe make the badges in a row and on hover show a tooltip what the badge is about because personally it's taking too much space and align location, created at and the badges maybe to the left instead of center

[frosty patio]

you need to add

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'Logged in as {bot.user} (ID: {bot.user.id})')

[hidden gorge]

this is the rest and im gonna change out some boxes for different things this isnt final

[compact condor]

also I suggest to edit the navbar left/right spacing to the spacing on the main content container

[frosty patio]

I am not the best when it comes to UI but it looks clean to me

[compact condor]

it def is

[hidden gorge]

the concept is almost 1,000 lines 😭

[real rose]

not the bg 😭

[compact condor]

if you want you can put svgs in a file (something.svg) and load it with <img> but then it's only static ig

[hidden gorge]

as well as we are doing this concept too - Most likely will get printed out irl

[warped glacier]

So i got bored. Tried to make my bot a website. What do yall think?

The docs page is a bit buggy. Im working on it.

[compact condor]

tbh quite nice, but you don't want to move stats on a website since this iritates users and the buttons background are blending too much into the background, maybe add a few images of your bot or even a nice video about it. But else good job 👍

[frosty patio]

looks good, but you need contract between the blue background and the buttons, plus the stats containers moving feels weird

[radiant kraken]

i recommend you make the primary buttons not have the same gradient color as the background

make them stand out

[compact condor]

@radiant kraken this is what I mean

[radiant kraken]

can you show that line in errors.py?

[compact condor]

on github it's already fixed but I shipped it to PyPi with the error, when I have components v2 support it'll be all good again

[radiant kraken]

ohh cool!

i recommend you use a linter like ruff

super useful! i use it in every python project i maintain

[compact condor]

Ic, will look into it, thanks for the recommendation 👍

[radiant kraken]

[crystal plover]

It’s fixed one cog file had an loop event in end don’t know how but it was the imposter

[frosty patio]

@compact condor I fixed the mobile ui and the blinding white, I added dark and light theme toggle
https://pricepeek.vercel.app/

check it out and tell me what u think

[sharp geyser]

One thing I can say

Typewriter effect needs work

Set the min/max height so it doesn't move the content as it types it out

Looks weird otherwise, especially on mobile

[frosty patio]

yeah you are right let me fix it

[sharp geyser]

Not sure how to feel about the responsive menu for the nav

It's just styles buttons that don't really fit

Then again styling responsive navs were never my thing either so I can't really say

It just looks a bit weird

I think a lot of it contributes to the large open space thats just dead

[compact condor]

Good work, it looks very well done!

[frosty patio]

thank you all for the feedback

What is the best hosting platform for postgres databases?

[acoustic bough]

I personally would put the db on the same platform as your service

[lament rock]

Putting it in the same machine or even datacenter is the best thing you can do

[prime cliff]

Usually dbs use more ram than cpu so not really best platform but better specs really

[acoustic bough]

my point was latency

[prime cliff]

Latency isnt an issue if you have stuff on the same machine and even then that's trivial for DBs

Thanks, legends! 🚀

[quartz kindle]

how does that fix a memory leak?

[neon leaf]

pending requests could get stuck

and were never cleared if their initial cleanup was skipped (server error/timeout/aborted/...)

which caused me to have 1GB of pending requests on all 6 production servers

[quartz kindle]

ah so you are imposing a time limit to clear it regardless of status?

[neon leaf]

yes

[quartz kindle]

what could cause requests to get stuck tho?

[neon leaf]

server error/timeout/aborted/...

aborted being what happened most I would assume

[quartz kindle]

dont you have events for that?

like onAborted

[neon leaf]

no

if the request is aborted, my future will be dropped

aka no code will be executed further

theres probably a way to hook into that process but this is a lot simpler and safer

[quartz kindle]

doesnt sound safe to me, i mean, using timers to handle async work is not really ideal

but yeah, i guess its simpler

[amber wraith]

hi

Is there anyone who needs dev help with their bot? I'm open to offering assistance!

[acoustic bough]

I've half a gig of permission overrides in memory, how can I fix that mess without breaking permissions

[amber wraith]

What Language are you using for your bot?

[acoustic bough]

js

[amber wraith]

Create a temporary role, give it access, and add the user to that role.

[acoustic bough]

what

idk how that would solve anything with the memory issue xd

[amber wraith]

Your hosting storage is full or what?

[acoustic bough]

no but I'd rather not use 4gb of memory with just 17k servers

but djs is a memory hugging piece of software

[digital swan]

What’s the client cache settings?

[acoustic bough]

biggest caches rn are text channel manager and permission override manager

but limiting chose in some way will prob break shit

[digital swan]

And they’re taking up 4gb?? That’s insane

[acoustic bough]

2,7gb rn

https://wamellow.com/status

[knotty night]

love the UI on the site.

[digital swan]

Have you looked into hybrid cluster sharding or whatever the package is called

[acoustic bough]

I use a fork of it

[knotty night]

your home docs page endlessly loads, the rest are fine

[acoustic bough]

blame widgetbot

[knotty night]

okay

[acoustic bough]

its been like that for idk

3 months

asked support but no help rly

it sometimes works

[knotty night]

also, your review redirects to a dead page

[acoustic bough]

yeah havent gotten around to change that xd

[knotty night]

no worries XD just wanted to make sure you knew

[digital swan]

Might just have to beg for more moneys from your users for a bigger server

[acoustic bough]

throwing more hardware at an issue is not a good solution

[digital swan]

I dread the day I start running out of memory again

[acoustic bough]

should have written the bot in a real language

[digital swan]

Would you rather do that or make your own library

[acoustic bough]

my own

[digital swan]

What are you waiting for then

[acoustic bough]

go get out of hospital

[digital swan]

Oh damn

Good luck

[quartz kindle]

the problem is not the language but djs

you can keep using js and use the discord api directly, create and manage your own caches

[acoustic bough]

im aware but I got to love golang

[quartz kindle]

my bot uses 100-150mb at 10k servers

[acoustic bough]

im just rly frustrated about djs in general

[quartz kindle]

yeah, i moved away from djs years ago as well

but if you prefer go over js then go for it

language preference is more important than performance/efficiency

[acoustic bough]

all my microservices for wamellow are in go so

and they use like, idk, 10 micro cpu %??

and 3mb

[quartz kindle]

cool

i like js the most so i stay with it

but manually accessing api's feels much better than using opinionated wrappers every single time

[acoustic bough]

i generally like the dx - mostly

[quartz kindle]

same with databases, i rather query them directy rather than using orms

[acoustic bough]

for that kysely is the best

imo

[quartz kindle]

never tried it, i like using sqlite directly

[acoustic bough]

its a query builder

not an orm directly

basically just typesafe sql queries

[wheat mesa]

I’m the opposite. I’m bad at writing sql, EF Core is a life saver

[covert gale]

i've been using diesel recently and yeah, i don't like how confusing some stuff is now

i would much rather write sql queries myself

[quartz kindle]

i create the types myself in the same file that creates the tables

for example

[wheat mesa]

Writing sql by hand for your own projects is fine, but I’ve found that writing it by hand when you’re working on enterprise projects is time consuming

[neon leaf]

I always write my own SQL wrapper for each project

[wheat mesa]

Once you start querying using LINQ your life will change

[quartz kindle]

to each their own :)

[wheat mesa]

Type safety

[covert gale]

also diesel isn't async by default which is quite annoying

[neon leaf]

Rust diesel?

[covert gale]

yeah

[neon leaf]

Bru no async by default?

Tf

I was considering diesel a few months back but I found it too annoying

Sqlx was a lot simpler

[quartz kindle]

i tried rewriting my utf5 encoder into a cpp node module and apparently its faster than TextEncoder lol, but it still needs more testing

[acoustic bough]

oh my god I had so much pain with utf8 <-> utf16

😭

[quartz kindle]

xD

indeed its annoying

but at least utf8/utf16 are the same everywhere

but since node 23.4 latin1 in node is not the same as it is in browsers

which is the stupidest thing

[quartz kindle]

also, why the fuck doesnt TextEncoder support anything other than utf8, but TextDecoder does

[acoustic bough]

lmao

all I needed is just converting byte indexes

[quartz kindle]

what is the use case?

sounds interesting

[acoustic bough]

facets for text, I get like an array of byteStarts and byteEnds that have a type of like bold

but its utf8

and js strings are utf16

[quartz kindle]

i dont quite follow but sounds interesting lol

is it sort of like a .charAt() / .charCodeAt() for utf8 and utf16?

or like an .indexOf(char) ?

i like working with binary encodings, its so much fun

[acoustic bough]

I have a string like
hello world
facets[]

• byteStart: 6
• byteEnd: 11
• type: 'bold'

which I basically then convert to
hello **world**

[quartz kindle]

oh

[acoustic bough]

but to properly add the markdown features like **, I have to use the byte start/end, which are in utf8

[quartz kindle]

you cant use simple string replacement / regex?

[acoustic bough]

but javascripts .slice(i, i) is utf16

[acoustic bough]

how would that work with a regex lol

what am I going to match for

[quartz kindle]

i mean, applying transformations based on pattern matching, not byte positions

[acoustic bough]

there is no pattern

lmao

[quartz kindle]

so how is there byte patterns? like how do you arrive at which bytes you want to transform?

is it not based on the content of those bytes?

[acoustic bough]

I get the bytes from the same source as the string

its just their way of storing rich text

[quartz kindle]

ohh, you run it through an api that requires input in byte indexes

[acoustic bough]

im consuming data from an api yes

[quartz kindle]

that makes more sense yeah

testimonies from users if you have them

[warped glacier]

i dont really have testamonies.

And what images would pop. I dont mind the idea of pics.

[sharp geyser]

Uhm

Anything related to your bot?

Could be screenshots of it in action

relatable pictures you find on the internet

Anything really so long as it's in theme

[warped glacier]

The bot is kinda hidden. I could take a clip of it deleting a scam message?

[sharp geyser]

All I can give you is ideas, what you do from here is up to you

[warped glacier]

I like the idea. Im just trying to think what would work

[sharp geyser]

I'd say its not the worst idea if you did that

[warped glacier]

I like the idea. I just am not sure past its image what to add pic wise.

I can take a clip of it deleting and reporting.

But thats all i can think of

@sharp geyser Do you think this looks ok?

[sharp geyser]

Turn it into a gif

[sharp geyser]

Using a converter or something

or export it as a gif in whatever video editing software you have available

Tim has helped so many people that it would be a miracle if he remembered this situation

Even I would have a problem with that

[quartz kindle]

ah that name sounds familiar

[dusk tangle]

[quartz kindle]

looks good

you listen to music 24/7? xD

[hidden gorge]

basically yes

even at school i have my earbuds in

i cant deal with noises :{

[quartz kindle]

interesting, im totally the opposite

i rarely ever listen to music

[hidden gorge]

I have ADHD and get overstimulated :{

[quartz kindle]

rip

[hidden gorge]

hell idfk how im gonna do in the police

[quartz kindle]

blast some hardcore music while shooting

[hidden gorge]

😭

im literally applying to my local police next september im screwed

[quartz kindle]

nah u got this

[acoustic bough]

I've adhd and I can't live without music either

[hidden gorge]

HA HA

hold up lemme get mine

[hidden gorge]

its only low bc im busy a lot at stuff where i can't have my phone

[acoustic bough]

I just have airpods in and work with that the entire day

[hidden gorge]

I work in a place where I need to hear so lmao

[hidden gorge]

is this too many?

[sharp geyser]

I really wish you'd stop recording your music as well

or at least put a warning so I dont get earraped

[hidden gorge]

i dont mean to

[sharp geyser]

You do it every time

💀

[hidden gorge]

i record with OBS...

[sharp geyser]

Why?

[hidden gorge]

i use OBS for streaming

[sharp geyser]

Also obs has a way to turn audio channels off

[hidden gorge]

MY WINDOWS RECORDER BROKE

[sharp geyser]

womp womp?

I doubt its broken

you just cant use it properly

[hidden gorge]

no, everytime i try to use it i get an error code

[sharp geyser]

Have you tried resolving it using your AI tools

[hidden gorge]

huh??

[hidden gorge]

(its only loud bc i was recording sirens)

i forgot to turn it down

[queen needle]

sharex recordings >

[acoustic bough]

just plug one ear

[pearl trail]

no 60 fps :(

[acoustic bough]

I loved sharex but no Linux support :/

even though .NET now works on Linux iirc

[covert gale]

yeah it's unfortunate

i've resorted to flameshot + peek for gifs

[long marsh]

Does anyone know if discord lists their IPs for incoming webhooks? I was hoping not to have to expose my HTTP API to the world for Discord.

[prime cliff]

Not really unless Discord uses cloudflares IP range? other than that you can check the User-Agent header to block most requests.

[wintry storm]

Friend, in every video you post the song you forgot is starting exactly the same time as the video. Respect people & their intelligence more; They tell you it bothers them, you do it deliberately then act like it was an accident as if everyone is stupid. Come on.

[deft wolf]

[wheat mesa]

.NET has worked on Linux for a long while now, it’s just funky when you deal with UI and such

It’s also a major PITA to install, or at least I had trouble with it

[acoustic bough]

I only miss to programs on linux

paint.NET and shareX

well I got paint.NET working in wine, but only a 13yo version

[sharp geyser]

not anymore

dotnet-install is a thing now

[hidden gorge]

Its not the same song??

[quartz kindle]

so far ive liked lightshot the best, but it doesnt record gifs and it randomly stopped working after some windows update, so im using flameshot as well

but lightshot's UI was much cleaner and better UX than flameshot

sharex is much more powerful but i dont like its UI/UX, i use it for gifs/mp4 only

[keen obsidian]

Hey I'm making a server core bot. What commands should I add?

[crystal wigeon]

anyone integrated paypal?

or does anyone use kofi?

im wondering how can i connect someone's paypal on my website to send them money from 3rd party

like how kofi or pateron does it

[covert gale]

i've been out of the scene for a while, what apis are out there that assist with dealing with spam bots and the like

i know anti fish is good to check links against, but is there anything that focuses on known hacked accounts and the like?

[acoustic bough]

does smb have a good go-lang library to build nice CLI apps

I want to have a nice interface for progress and successful/failed steps

this looks meh

[lament rock]

I think that looks alright for a terminal interface

[lyric mountain]

was going to use it, but sadly they dont return the discord id

idk abt paypal, but they rates are a little too high imo

[pearl trail]

yeah, quite simple

[quartz kindle]

when you pay the pal, whose pal is getting paid? your pal or their pal?

[frosty patio]

just don't play the video, its that easy

[hidden gorge]

does this look good for a connecting ui?

[crystal wigeon]

yeah im using email connected with discord with it

but just curious what APIs do they use?

patreon

when you connect your paypal and you receive money when someone donates on patreon

[pearl trail]

so basically, someone donates via patreon to you, and you give the money to someone through paypal?

afraid to fail understanding your case

[surreal sage]

holy fucking shit npm website flashbang at 2am

[quartz kindle]

cpp guys what is the best way to store a simple key value thing?

both keys and values are ints, keys are 0-64k and values are 0-255

only around 30 items will actually get stored

tried std::map and performance was abysmal

[wheat mesa]

std::unordered_map

Standard std::map is a treemap iirc

C++’s standard lib naming conventions are abysmal

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

std::list is also misleading

It’s a linkedlist

Enjoy your O(n) random access

[quartz kindle]

im using an array[64k] rn, performance is good but im allocating a 64k array on the stack to store only like 30 items lol

[wheat mesa]

I mean tbf that’s only 256kb of memory

Actually that’s kinda big ig

unordered map is probably the best bet for standard lib afaik

[quartz kindle]

lemme try

[golden pawn]

yes!

[wheat mesa]

Depending on your use case, you might be able to get away with some dynamic resizing

[hidden gorge]

Thank you.

[quartz kindle]

unordered map was even worse

[wheat mesa]

Really?

[quartz kindle]

yeah lmao

i mean, its pretty similar to map

[wheat mesa]

That’s surprising

You can initialize it with a bucket size I believe btw

Avoid some unnecessary reallocs

[quartz kindle]

with map im getting 3 second for a million iterations

with stack array i get 400ms

[wheat mesa]

Hmmmm

Your perf on the stack with direct array access will be pretty much unbeatable

That’s like the most ideal scenario for a lookup

But it’s just the downside of using a bunch of memory

[quartz kindle]

yeah but if i want to use this in a class and run multiple instnces, each instance is gonna take 64k stack memory, isnt stack limited to like 2mb?

[wheat mesa]

Not to mention that arrays are just fantastic for CPU cache

[wheat mesa]

If you want, try heap allocating

See how much of a perf hit you take

[quartz kindle]

lemme try with heap

oh nice i also get 400ms with heap

[wheat mesa]

If you’re concerned about memory try the unordered map solution but use .reserve after creation

Might help a bit with reallocation overhead

[quartz kindle]

nah i'll keep it on the heap, its fine

64k is nothing for heap

[wheat mesa]

Fair enough, didn’t know how much you wanted to optimize ;^)

[quartz kindle]

definitely perf in this case

although im pretty bad at cpp, so im sure there are things i could improve that i dont know aboujt

[wheat mesa]

Yeah direct array access is about as fast as you can get

[quartz kindle]

i constantly get confused with pointers

[wheat mesa]

Pointers are confusing

[quartz kindle]

lemme just make sure this is correct

[wheat mesa]

You get a hang of it though

[quartz kindle]

// in class definition
private:
  char16_t charmap [31];
  char16_t * keymap;

// in class constructor
Utf5::Utf5(char16_t * c) {
    env = nullptr;
    wrapper = nullptr;
    wcsncpy((wchar_t *)charmap, (wchar_t *)c, 30);
    keymap = (char16_t*)malloc(256*256);
    for(uint8_t i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
        keymap[charmap[i]] = i;
    };
}

is this right?

i mean, it compiles and works

but idk about semantics xd

[wheat mesa]

I would avoid using malloc and free in C++, prefer new and delete instead

It shouldn’t matter as long as you don’t mix them though

[quartz kindle]

how do i create a 64k block using new?

[wheat mesa]

Also make sure that your malloc sizes are consistent across platforms. Sometimes sizes vary, using sizeof() is usually better than a constant unless that’s your intended behavior

[quartz kindle]

actually i need a 128k since i cast it to char16

[wheat mesa]

new T[size] returns a pointer just like malloc but without needing to cast

Afaik, been a while since I’ve used C++

Oh shoot sorry it would be new[] T[size] I think?

[quartz kindle]

i mean, this compiles keymap = new char16_t[256*256];

[wheat mesa]

Yeah after consulting ChatGPT the first way is correct

To free the memory you would use delete[] ptr

[quartz kindle]

delete[] keymap;?

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

If keymap were just a single heap allocated object, then you would do delete keymap, but since it’s an array you need the square brackets

C++ is weird man

Rust ftw

[quartz kindle]

yeah i dont feel like learning rust rn lmao

[wheat mesa]

Blazing fast without the UB dogshit just because I didn’t know that Linus Torvalds shit his pants in 1985 which caused the C++ consulate to change the behavior of some obscure and unknown language feature that also isn’t properly implemented by MSVC but is on GCC and Clang

Once you go rust you barely ever go back

[quartz kindle]

xDDD

also napi is a pain

[wheat mesa]

Yeeeeep

Anything FFI related is a pain

[quartz kindle]

i need to have two sets of constructors and destructors

one for cpp, another for js

[wheat mesa]

Ouch

[quartz kindle]

class Utf5 {
    public:
        static void Destructor(napi_env env, void* nativeObject, void* finalize_hint);
        static napi_value Init(napi_env env, napi_value exports);

    private:
        Utf5(char16_t * c);
        ~Utf5();
        static napi_value New(napi_env env, napi_callback_info info);
        static napi_value GetCharmap(napi_env env, napi_callback_info info);
        static napi_value EncodeInto(napi_env env, napi_callback_info info);
        // static napi_value Decode(napi_env env, napi_callback_info info);
        static napi_ref constructor;
        napi_env env;
        napi_ref wrapper;
        char16_t charmap [31];
        char16_t * keymap;
};

[wheat mesa]

Js deconstructor sounds cursed

Is this for your ultra fast encoding/decoding lib?

[quartz kindle]

well, there probably is a better way to do things, but this is how they do it in their official napi examples

[quartz kindle]

rn its just an experient out of curiosity

but it could be

[wheat mesa]

I have a feeling that the overhead for napi is going to make it not worthwhile for smaller payloads but 100% worth it for large payloads

Anything string related sounds like js is going to make 10 million allocations

[quartz kindle]

yeah, even TextEncoder and Buffer are slower than for loops for small strings

[wheat mesa]

Well either way good luck on your endeavors 🫡

[quartz kindle]

[small tangle]

Ah yes

[frosty patio]

sorry A.J for the ghost ping, your @ wasnt showing in #mod-logs and I wanted to see who that was

how do i limit the topgg stats sending to like only one time? because it keeps running and even throws errors sometimes

nvm found it

[acoustic bough]

Google cloud is 'down' rn

go to downdetector, literally everything is going down rn 🤣

[acoustic bough]

yeh

[quartz kindle]

cursed block of code

[pearl trail]

hell yeah, one liner 🔥

would be better to not use { }

😼

[quartz kindle]

xD

im refactoring this crap now

[delicate zephyr]

atleast it's somewhat readable

[quartz kindle]

somewhat

intersting how this code

automatically turns the arrow around for rtl languages

no idea that was a thing

[pearl trail]

interesting, what if you put “hello world a -> b” , will it become “b <- a world hello”?

[quartz kindle]

i dont think so

for example

Changed Italian (it) translation for Grand Est (FR.GES) region: Grande Est -> Grand Est
Changed Hebrew (he) translation for Charente-Maritime (FR.17) region: השראנט הימי -> שראנט-מריטים

these are the strings i am generating

the arrow changed for the hebrew part but not the rest, i think its based on the text being surrounded by rtl text

scammer?

wait but now i have no idea if the arrow is pointing in the right direction there lmao

apparently its not js doing it, its this markdown visualization im using

[pearl trail]

oh wow, interesting

[quartz kindle]

my vscode md file also shows the rtl arrow

but a js console.log doesnt

it seems to be an utf8 thing

there are unicode characters to override text direction

[quartz kindle]

removed it by doing this lmao

now all my arrows are left to right

this edditor has weird fonts, this one looks better

[hidden gorge]

So im trying to figure out how to store the assigned agent to a live chat should it be stored via id?

[wheat mesa]

Depends on your intentions, I’d say an ID is probably your best bet

An even better option would be using a relational db like postgres instead ;^)

[hidden gorge]

account id is corelated to the ObjectId in the Database

wait that should be a string hold on

fixed that one

yeah bc thats a string

[crystal plover]

[acoustic bough]

am I insanely stupid? I don't know what I am doing wrong

[sharp geyser]

What exactly is the action you are performing

It looks like sending a message

[sharp geyser]

Yeah I see that

My only guess is that you are still trying to send a message in the channel despite you checking for it

[acoustic bough]

I am bailing out of the function early

[feral aspen]

There's some {} which I feel like are redundant especially when there's one statement after the if? 👀

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/sY97geO5vy - something like this (does it make a difference, absolutely not).

[clear field]

[quartz kindle]

negligible, as this is not a performance-sensitive part

[queen needle]

did you just do the if statements for readability?

[quartz kindle]

initially i do them the long way and lay out every possibility separately

then if there is room for it, i can take another look and shorten it out

since there was a different message for each option i put them all separate, but now that its done and there are similar patterns on each message there is room for refactoring

[queen needle]

That makes sense

Now I see why Tim is goat

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[queen needle]

[keen obsidian]

What is the best way to implement premium commands?

[lament rock]

It depends on your architecture. There is no universal best way, only the best way for you but we don't know what that is since your app is different from ours

[keen obsidian]

This is the code I want to emplement premium commands on https://github.com/BrandgrandRealMe/OptiCore

And I have a buymeacoffee set up but I could switch to something else

[quartz kindle]

does bymeacoffee have an api or a webhook?

[acoustic bough]

fyi, discord dev terms force you to (also) use in-app purchases if u live in us/uk/eu

[deep cedar]

Guys can somebody rate my website?

https://task-gg.vercel.app/

[fossil gust]

when i select the yellow at the bottom they all turn yellow. is that supposed to happen

[deep cedar]

Normally no but I'll fix it

[fossil gust]

same with purple the top becomes pink

[deep cedar]

Hmm

[fossil gust]

but i like the design very clean

[deep cedar]

Thanks

[woven atlas]

lol im sorry but that is ai generated 😭

[deep cedar]

?

Its not

Do u have any proof then that it is ai?

[woven atlas]

is it fully done tho? your website

[deep cedar]

No?

Im gonna continue tommorow

[willow ether]

Having done a bit of vibe coding myself, you might want to clean up the ai-generated comments after it generates code for you. It speaks better English than you do 🤣

[fossil gust]

that footer is also a dead giveaway 😆

[wheat mesa]

Yup, lovable

The amount of software vulnerabilities created by lovable is embarrassing

[queen needle]

Also the correct use of html tags like section, which sounds like a small thing but often people just div * 1000

[prime cliff]

@solemn latch scam

[queen needle]

Also pseudo element to place background?

With an unneeded z-index

[keen obsidian]

Link to source

[keen obsidian]

I think so

[keen obsidian]

"Discord's Developer Terms of Service and related monetization policies do not explicitly force developers in the US, UK, or EU to use Discord's in-app purchase system exclusively. However, if you choose to monetize your app through Discord's Premium Apps (e.g., via App Subscriptions or One-Time Purchases), you are required to use Discord's monetization platform for those transactions."

[quartz kindle]

if it has a webhook, you configure it so that your bot receives a signal when someone subscribes/purchases something, use that to update your database

if they dont have a webhook but have a rest api, you can query their api to obtain a user's subscription status

[keen obsidian]

Is there something specifically for discord bots?

[quartz kindle]

their api doesnt say anything specific for discord bots, so you'd need to build an interface yourself

https://studio.buymeacoffee.com/webhooks/docs

[keen obsidian]

wtf is this source code (it's jwt)

[hidden gorge]

jesus

[acoustic bough]

I hope it's just some polyfill or shit but still

that really doesnt work in a module?

i just did this to fix it...

its really dumb

[hidden gorge]

oh that worked

that worked so much eaiser

[acoustic bough]

you shouldn't use express as it's the slowest http framework, jfyi

(and I hate ejs but that's personal)

[hidden gorge]

i just like using it bc its what ive been using for years and i know how to cretae systems so well in it

create*

(plus im behind on basically everything so i want to get it all done and deployed)

[acoustic bough]

fair

used to be much on ejs but started to hate it and got intro react

then typescript as well

[pearl trail]

lmfao my first ever dashboard is built using ejs

actually fine, but it'll be a mess once the app is big

and react is much easier and save much time

[hidden gorge]

im still working on the live chat dashboard any suggestions?

I love that they are also completely transparent in how it operates and is able to make money despite being a free software at its core

Rarely see that in SaaS companies now a days

[prime cliff]

[sharp geyser]

Might have to cop that for myself instead of rolling out my own system

More I can offload somewhere else the better

[prime cliff]

Inb4 i add support chat to dev space

[sharp geyser]

I honestly haven't looked at devspace in a hot minute

I've put stuff on it and haven't needed to look at it since it just runs 😭

[prime cliff]

I'm adding a different agent mode to it now by default it was website -> agent vps now theres gonna be a agent -> website just like how portainer does edge agents

[sharp geyser]

Ohhh interesting

😭

What the heck

There's so much more

[prime cliff]

🙂 i asked for suggested ones in here and a few servers and my own recommendations too

After this i'll be working on status features to monitor web/servers/containers with public pages and alerts with webhooks/discord will be nice to use without hetrixtools login every 14 days requirement.

[sharp geyser]

I just used ffmpeg to compress a video's size from 855mb to 72mb

Hey boys i have a problem.

I have a js file calling a py script. So it’s awaiting till the py script is done.
Thiugh this blocks the whole script and no other people can use the bot then eventhough they are not affilitated to this request

[pearl trail]

you use execSync ?

[prime cliff]

Why are you doing this weird process in the first place 🙃 surely there is a better way

[pearl trail]

maybe ml? who knows

[eternal osprey]

Machine learning

I dont like using js libraries

and tensorflow js doesnt work on apple silicon

[eternal osprey]

Yeah

I am calling a subprocess

[pearl trail]

use exec or better, spawn

[eternal osprey]

Wouldnt that still block until the subprocess exists

Cuz i am awaiting a pipeline output

[pearl trail]

nope

those will spawn asynchronous

there’s a stream event available with spawn

[eternal osprey]

Damnn really

Ah ofc i heard something about web workers or something

[pearl trail]

heres some info that might help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69328592/can-i-listen-for-a-specific-output-with-child-process

you can also combine spawn with readline to process data as it comes in, in case you have a process that gradually outputs data

Hey tim

I have a port issue with ssh I haven't ran into before

I set the port in sshd_config to something different, but for some reason its still using the old port despite doing a hard reset of the system & also restarting ssh

I remember you helped me with this before a while back iirc

[prime cliff]

This might be your answer https://askubuntu.com/a/1439482
Instead of the ssh config it uses the systemd control config which overwrites that

[scenic horizon]

Apologies if this isn't the right place, but is there a way I can change my bots profile image on the top.gg site? I can't seem to find an option anywhere

it should get it automatically from your bot's discord profile

you should be able to change it in your discord developers bot page

[scenic horizon]

Ah ok I didn't know/remember that when I first set it all up. I've gone and updated it there, any idea how long before I see the changes reflected?

how'd I ensure quality control with translations? while I have proofreaders on crowdin, idk how well they do their job, as, well, I don't know the languages

[pearl trail]

if you dont trust them, hire a 2nd proofreaders still unsure? 3rd, 4th, 5th, ∞

[acoustic bough]

I only have volunteers lmao

[pearl trail]

xD sorry for my joke, might not be funny. but if i were you, i might do tests on them, maybe like in 1 category you have 20, check 5 random translations, and ask them to AI. if happen to have a mistake, add more checks. yeah i'd be utilizing AI for translation related.

[acoustic bough]

yeah I used to check every few translations with deepl if they aren't nonsense

but I cannot really check the quality itself or if it misses the point or context

ah, that's why i usually use chatgpt/gemini. i can tell it what's the context and they will understand for the rest of chat

[eternal osprey]

Damn i just created my own crypto project and started a free open beta but honestly i ahould’ve stress tested it more

Within 1 day i used over 3.5k api credits of my 50k plan

i will go back to my code and try and cache to reduce the amount of fetchrs made 😭

[neon flicker]

If we assume there's a messaage like "@neon flicker", would it be possible to extract the user from the message?

[acoustic bough]

from the mention?

either use the mentions field in the API data or regex match the content

[neon flicker]

Sorry for the poor explanation, I was curious what the string would look like and it turns out that the mentions are simply replaced with <@id>

wikipedia apis are so damn confusing holy...

[queen needle]

Oh no if he thinks it's confusing were all screwed

[eternal osprey]

broo i know right

they don't have a single api endpoint to scrape a single page.

they fucking segmented it

lints, media-lists, mobile-html..., parsoids or whatever that was.

i tried working with it once and gave up

[quartz kindle]

its even worse than that

they have three major systems: wikipedia, wikidata and wikibase

all of them with separate api groups

and one of them uses a weird database system called SPARQL

i spent the last 5 days working on this shit, figuring out what all of these apis can do and how to do these weird queries lmaop

but i did figure out how to do what i wanted in only 3 requests, which previously took me hundreds of individual reqs lmao

the SPARQL query alone took me 3 days to figure out

[queen needle]

You should see if chatgpt can one shot it for fun

(it probably can't)

But it'd be interesting to see how many requests it takes

[quartz kindle]

i didnt think of that

im curious now

[willow ether]

Looks less awful than GraphQL lol

though a bit similar in theory

I'd actually be optimistic about LLMs being able to spit out simple queries in stuff you're unfamiliar with.

Speeding up the zero to "working app" stage in a brand new toolset/framework/whatever is one of the better uses for it.

[quartz kindle]

it actually worked pretty well

half of the query works, the other half doesnt lmao

now my vsc is freezing from writing/reading a 200mb json file

[queen needle]

...

Why does that exist

[prime cliff]

Ofc that's gonna freeze lol

[quartz kindle]

scraping tons of data from wikipedia lmao

most of it is redundant

i split it into 3 files, 6mb 34mb and 141mb

[queen needle]

just do constants.js smh

[quartz kindle]

sure sure :^)

[queen needle]

Holy shit

biggest file i ever had was similar in size, but it was for a dictionary

and that was just until i loaded it into db

[quartz kindle]

this is basically a datadump from geonames+wikipedia

i will still process it, dedupe it and what not

[queen needle]

will it go away like are you putting it into a db?

[quartz kindle]

nope, it will remain a json file to be imported by libs

but the final one will be much smaller

i'll make a few different variations, final sizes will probably range from <1mb to 20+mb

[queen needle]

interesting

ill make sure to keep checking here to see how it goes

[quartz kindle]

xD

i wonder how much data i've downloaded from them in the last few days total

been testing this thing for like 5days now, and every time i test it i re-download everything xD

[queen needle]

jesus

howcome

[quartz kindle]

well 90% of the script is handling the download itself

so i can only test it by redownloading

because its not like im downloading a single file, its hundreds of requests to various wikipedia/geonames endpoints

and combining the data and what not

if there is one mistake somewhere, i need to run the whole thing again after fixing to see if it worked

[queen needle]

I had to do that when I built my dictionary db

And I didn't add continuing, so if I stopped the script it'd complete restart, checking every word again

and I went to run it overnight and didn't turn my computer to where it doesn't turn off, so it just turned off, ending it

[carmine spruce]

rip-

[queen needle]

It proceeded to end 4 more times throughout the day before I add a system to continue through restarts

[quartz kindle]

this is sort of mesmerizing to watch lmao

[sharp geyser]

What in the fuck

6 days?

[deft wolf]

FTP moment

[grave wolf]

Hi

Anyone help me ?

[acoustic bough]

are you uploading node modules lmao

[pearl trail]

thats just the speed being slow

[carmine spruce]

1.45 KB/s is rough

[stone oracle]

What

[lament rock]

I like to zip things and then upload that

Having to process multiple files for ftp uploads usually takes so much longer than just one

[deft wolf]

Yea, there is still a function to enable that allows you to send multiple files at once but still sending one zip will be faster I guess

[chrome trout]

[sharp geyser]

Nah it’s Minecraft mods 😭

[deep cedar]

Hi guys um trying to fix my task commend which cant understan d due time (tommorow, in 30 mins etc) can somebody tell me why?

[quartz kindle]

not without seeing the code behind it

[deep cedar]

U need the code?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[pearl trail]

Tim is so good that he can analyze the code through discord message

[quartz kindle]

lies

i dont have x ray vision

sadly

[pearl trail]

awh that sucks :(
