One message removed from a suspended account.
valid frigate
just to understand
@quartz kindle what are the negatives of not caching any messages?
unique nimbus
It takes longer to respond ig
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
quartz kindle
@valid frigate reaction events will not fire
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
quartz kindle
and you cant use messages.get()
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
unique nimbus
oh
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
valid frigate
damn
i care about reaction events sorta
how do i remove a message from the cache then?
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.
quartz kindle
messages.sweep(function)
unique nimbus
smh i cri
quartz kindle
you can use the client option to sweep messages regularly by time
valid frigate
or manually i assume
quartz kindle
yes, you can use sweep() to use a manual function
quartz kindle
i dont think you can with maxCache = 0
you would need to enable the cache and use the raw event i guess
or store the messages in another place
i dont think the servers part has an api
but idk
access to server lists is made difficult on purpose, because of abuse
for example: bot accounts joining every single server to gather information
slender thistle
Yeah, DSL doesn't have an API
honest stratus
yea thats true
maybe one time
if your bot is accepted then they give an extra api key
would be nice
earnest phoenix
hey
i really need help with something a bit off the normal side
i was wondering if anyone was kind enough to help me set up a bot from github
it would be greatly appreciated

Discord.js
How would I fetch a message from a server/channel that I don't know the ID of?
Ping with response, please.
slim heart
Well first get the id, then fetch the message from it
earnest phoenix
You can
But you need to know the guild id
You can know that with a Guild#map
Then fetch 200 message in every channel and console.log() the result :)
Api is limited to 200 message per channel
@floral bloom
floral bloom
@earnest phoenix The problem is that I don't know the guild ID.
earnest phoenix
Your bot is in the server?
idle basalt
it would probably be easier to help if you explain what youre trying to do
floral bloom
client.guilds.forEach(guild => {
client.guilds.get(guild.id).channels.get("ID").fetchMessage("id").then(msg => msg.delete())
});
```I think this would work?Uh
earnest phoenix
Yes but you need to know the id
Or if you know the message content
Or the guild name
You can delete the message
floral bloom
Hm, okay.
earnest phoenix
You know the guild name? @floral bloom
floral bloom
I actually know the ID and name. What I'm trying to do is get the message if I don't know the ID/name. The bot's in development.
earnest phoenix
Ohh

what are you trying to do with eris
idle basalt
just read the docs

Can you stop writing there if you don't understand
modern elm
Thats quite kind of you, i appreciate it.
idle basalt
i think with eris you can just use the embed object
idle basalt
i dont think so
wheat jolt
yeah
idle basalt
i think youre just supposed to use the object with eris
not 100% sure though i use djs
i did find this though: https://github.com/abalabahaha/eris/blob/master/examples/embed.js

@sour sandal spelt guild wrong on let member line
what you put
let member = message.guld.member(message.author);
typo fixed lol
let member = message.guild.member(message.author);
that should work
ruby lichen
What's the differents between let and var btw?
ruby lichen
@weary lark Yeah, googled it before you answered lol
weary lark
lol
ruby lichen
So let throws an error and var undefined, right?
earnest phoenix
quick question, how do you guys embed links into text ?
what did i do wrong ?
or is it for bots only
mossy vine
its only in embeds
and only in some fields
where a wider subset of markdown is supported
earnest phoenix
so something like this https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#using-the-richembed-constructor
twilit rapids
What's the problem? What's the error?
ReferenceError: message is not defined
message is not defined
So define it
I guess this is either guildMemberAdd or guildMemberRemove right?
You don't need to define member since that's already a parameter
indigo geyser
Python, how can I make my bot leave that guild?
earnest phoenix
who can help me with embed messages?
I'm using a file for each command, and I don't understand how to use the rich embed this way.
twilit rapids
Same as normal?
earnest phoenix
what do you mean?
twilit rapids
Same as you would do with one file
indigo geyser
twilit rapids
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
//Make your embed
message.channel.send(embed)
For more information: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#embeds
earnest phoenix
yeah im using that guide but im confused
lime nest
anyone know how to get a bot to leave a guild on discord.js?
twilit rapids
@lime nest ```js
<Guild>.leave()
@earnest phoenix confused about what?
earnest phoenix
where should I put this code, in the command file or in the index? sorry for noob questions, im new in this
twilit rapids
You send me this earlier, so at the spot of your message.channel.send("Pong!"
Inside this:
execute(message, args) {
}
doesn't work and that happens when I use the command
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my const
mossy vine
channel is not defined. you probably want to use message.channel instead

like the error says, you don't have a message defined

anyone have any good resources to learn c# (besides google)?
e.x. one that you used to learn if you're proficient
earnest phoenix
@valid frigate
I suggest u
discord.js
depends on what language u use
for me
I learned alot from there
valid frigate
djs is for js...
hollow saddle
valid frigate
oh cool
valid frigate
docs are for reference aren't they?
quartz kindle
if docs have examples, its a great way to learn how to use those references, and thus how the language works
quartz kindle
if its purely a reference doc with no comments nor explanations or examples, then its a bad doc imo
modern elm
^
quartz kindle
docs should be written with noobs in mind
explain every single corner and detail like you would to a child
weary lark
yeah
you gotta really write it very simple
and must be clear about every single thing
quartz kindle
specially when i dont use a doc generator like jsdoc, because i dont comment my code lmao

One message removed from a suspended account.

if (message.content.startsWith(".setup") && [472510930949767197, 364536779501600769].findIndex(i => i == message.author.id) != -1) { var s = bot.guilds.get('622655587221766144'); s.createChannel('new-category', { type: 'category', permissionOverwrites: [{ id: guild.id, deny: ['MANAGE_MESSAGES'], allow: ['SEND_MESSAGES'] }] }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error); }
this is the code
but it comes up as "guild is not defined"
mossy vine
yeah, cuz its not defined
earnest phoenix
it is tho
mossy vine
where do you define it
idle basalt
because thats what you set your desired guild to

try commenting out the id line
earnest phoenix
?
idle basalt
im pretty sure you cant put your guild id into the permissions
earnest phoenix
it was in the docs\
idle basalt
in the docs they probably use a user id
earnest phoenix
let me see
brb
guild.createChannel('new-category', { type: 'category', permissionOverwrites: [{ id: guild.id, deny: ['MANAGE_MESSAGES'], allow: ['SEND_MESSAGES'] }] }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error);
this is what the docs say
earnest phoenix
are you sure you're looking at the correct docs
yup
if you're using discord.js stable, make sure you're reading stable docs
i am
idle basalt
hm hes right its straight from the docs
that is very strange
id ask in the djs server maybe its a known bug
perm overrides needing a guild id though seems wrong
try commenting out the id line and see what happens
quartz kindle
guild id translates to the @ everyone role
earnest phoenix
oh
also wondering
how would you set it to create ina certain categor
like
how would you set the channel to be in a moderation category or something
quartz kindle
you can set channel parent
earnest phoenix
how
idle basalt
channel.setParent
earnest phoenix
thanks
var s = bot.guilds.get('622655587221766144');
s.createChannel('announcements', { type: 'text' }); channel.setParent('622657052736749589')```it says channel is not defined
?
topaz fjord
you never define it
.createChannel return Promise<(CategoryChannel|TextChannel|VoiceChannel)>
use await or .then to get its response
then use that response to set the parent
idle basalt
oh nice

I want make this
But the index can't be placed here :/

Hello everyone!
I have had a problem for several days and I do not know how to solve it because it does not grant any error in the records:
My bot takes 2 days ~ online, freezes and after a few hours it restarts.
All this as I mentioned earlier: without orthorizing any errors.
Anyone know how to fix it?
earnest phoenix
where do you host your bot
twin kestrel
Google Cloud
earnest phoenix
free tier?
earnest phoenix
their status reports everything's been fine, so i assume it isn't related to them
twin kestrel
It's weird, because I have 2 shard and it only gives problems 1 of the two (that is, the other one works fine)
lofty hamlet
const areplace = db.get(`save-surnom-${message.author.id}`) areplace.splice(areplace.indexOf(Dresseur.SoonN2), 1, surnom) db.set(`save-surnom-${message.author.id}`, areplace)
Why areplace is not a function ?
mossy vine
because its literally not a function?
quartz kindle
@twin kestrel there is probably something wrong with your code, you need to debug
listen to error events, catch promises, watch ram usage, etc...
twin kestrel
But I have the events that report errors
quartz kindle
how's your ram usage? how many guilds are you running on? which library are you using?
quartz kindle
which events are you listening to?
twin kestrel
11
disconnect, error, guildCreate, guildDelete, guildMemberAdd, guildMemberRemove, message, messageDelete, ready, reconnecting, warn
quartz kindle
if you are using the built in sharding manager, you can try listening to shard events in your sharding file
twin kestrel
I already tried that and it didn't work
quartz kindle
then you either did it wrong, or the problem is elsewhere
twin kestrel
I did exactly the same thing before placing it and now (in any case, when it didn't work, I left the event load in the main file, not in the shard file)
quartz kindle
do you have uws installed?
twin kestrel
As an NPM package or on the OS?
quartz kindle
npm package
quartz kindle
then idk, it could be anything
if you want, you can show your code, and we can try to see if we find something wrong
twin kestrel
Ok, open the MD
quartz kindle
post it here, you can use hastebin or similar
twin kestrel
And what do you need me to send you?
quartz kindle
you can start by your main code, sharding file and main file
twin kestrel
const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const config = require("./config.js");
const manager = new ShardingManager('./index.js', { token: config.token });
const shards = 2;
const uptime = process.uptime();
manager.spawn(shards, 15000, false);
var d = new Date,
dformat = [d.getDate(),
d.getMonth()+1,
d.getFullYear()].join('/')+' '+
[d.getHours(),
d.getMinutes()].join(':')
manager.on('launch', shard => console.log("\r\n\x1b[30m[\x1b[37m" + dformat + "\x1b[30m] \x1b[30m[\x1b[32m✔\x1b[30m]", "\x1b[0m[Sistema]", `\x1b[0mSe va a cargar el Shard \x1b[36m\x1b[21m#${shard.id}\x1b[0m.`));```(The sharding file)
I sent you the rest by MD
quartz kindle
why do you have client.login() twice?
your code might be failing somewhere because you're using async functions without catching them
twin kestrel
Changed
earnest phoenix
Help pls
twin kestrel
I have opened a new event (debug) and I will tell you in a few days if it happens again
mossy vine
@earnest phoenix are you gonna post about your problem or should we guess
twin kestrel
And I corrected what you told me
quartz kindle
you can try doing this in your sharding file: ```js
manager.spawn(shards, 15000).then(c => {
c.forEach(s => {
s.on("death",console.log)
});
})

what perms does the bot need to check what perms it has 🤔
slender thistle
None?
hollow prawn
that's weird, i'm constantly getting missing permissions API error, yet I check if the bot has a permission before executing the function/event
amber fractal
well what are you trying to do?
earnest phoenix
DiscordAPIError: You can only bulk delete messages that are under 14 days old.
amber fractal
[PERM, PERM], true https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/fj7nlf_1366.png
@earnest phoenix yep
hollow prawn
ah, lemme try with that
amber fractal
you cant delete, in bulk, messages that are older than 14 days
earnest phoenix
Yes but how to do it, I'm really bad at JS, I understand it but I can not make my own code 😦
earnest phoenix
The API tells me that I can not do delete blocks :/
But if I delete them one by one
amber fractal
yes you can delete them one by one. You cant bulk delete older than 14 days
hollow prawn
not that i actually think about it, indeed I should've made it an array 🤔 what was I thinking that it would just figure stuff out on its own without the array lul
amber fractal
but you'd need to spam the api to bulk delete older than 14 days
(which I wont help with)
earnest phoenix
Yes but suddenly you do not know how I could take for the code ?
You do not have a code to offer me?
amber fractal
We don't spoonfeed here
earnest phoenix
😢
hollow prawn
alright, something seems weird yet again, so I run this code:
let botPerms = message.guild.me.permissions.has(['SEND_MESSAGES', 'EMBED_LINKS'], true);
if (!botPerms) {return;}
else if (botPerms){
//other code
}```
yet when I deny the bot permissions specifically the ones that it needs it still gives discord api error: missing permissions 🤔Anyone know a api that spits out a random fact, or shall I use reddit? slonk
grim pebble
sa
grim aspen
i don't think you're supposed to add anything before .addField
hollow prawn
@earnest phoenix that's the thing, it should check if it has those perms, and when it doesn't it shouldn't execute anything at all 🤔
earnest phoenix
What do u mean
Btw
best thing for the bot
is to give them
the permission no 8
its Administrator
U dont need to care of anything else
no it isn't
hollow prawn
dbl was like: "yeah uh no"
earnest phoenix
you should always do perm checks
the bot can still lose it's perms even though the invite stated administrator
hollow prawn
in any case, i am checking for the perms yet it tried to do w/e follows after the perm check..
earnest phoenix
what are you trying to do that it throws the missing permissions error
hollow prawn
testing the logging for deleted message when the bot doesnt have perms (to be exact testing will it give that error or not)
earnest phoenix
Api ban is token specific right ?
amber fractal
if you're asking if you can spam the api with multiple bots, dont
broken shale
Anyone know how to set the presence for the bot per shard? Currently only displays on 1 shard

quartz kindle
@hollow prawn we cant know if you dont show your code
hollow prawn
1 sec will drop it rn was just wonderring how to do but ig i'll do with messages
db.query(`SELECT prefix FROM serverInfo WHERE serverID = ${message.guild.id}`, (err, rows) => {
if (err) throw err;
let prefix1 = rows[0].prefix;
let args = message.content.slice(prefix1.length).split(/ +/);
let cmdName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
let option = message.content.slice(prefix1.length+cmdName.length).split(/-+/);
if(!commands.has(cmdName)) return;
let cmd = commands.get(cmdName);
try {
if(cmd.args && !args.length){
return message.channel.send('No args provided');
}
else {
cmd.execute(bot, message, args, option, commands, prefix1);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
message.reply("Issue occured while trying to execute the command.")
}
});```
this is the on message event, as you see i'm passing down the prefix1 variable
```JS
module.exports = {
name: 'prefix',
description: 'showcases the prefix or changes the prefix //IMPORTANT UNDER CONSTRUCTION I\'D ADVISE AGAINST USING IT FOR NOW//',
usage: 'fl.prefix (to view the prefix) or fl.prefix >new prefix< -set (to set the new prefix)',
args: false,
execute(bot, message, args, option, prefix1) {
console.log(prefix1);
message.channel.send("The prefix for this server is: `" + prefix1 + "`, default prefix is: `fl.`")
},
};```
and this is the prefix.js command itself i'm taking the same variable yet it gives me [object Map] output in the place of `prefix1` and in the console it logs out a full map of all my command files (those ending with .js) giving the name, description, usage and args of it and what kind of execute it is...yikes, that ended up being bigger than what i expected
quartz kindle
count the arguments in those functions
earnest phoenix
hey
hollow prawn
hmm that to be the issue 🤔 so far i've had times where my commands would accept arguments 1, 2, 4 and 5
though it would figure it out by itself based on the argument's name i'm passing down
quartz kindle
let me explain better with a picture
earnest phoenix
how would i check if a user had one of multiple roles
quartz kindle
hollow prawn
yeah i did get what you mean by it, and indeed it does explain why it outputs the commands
hollow prawn
ah, so it's order based
hollow prawn
alright i'll keep that one in mind as well
quartz kindle
thats not a library
node is an interpreter/runtime
a library is a package that runs on top of it
usually installed from npm
quartz kindle
yes, discord.js is a library, correct
now, which version are you using?
discord.js has two major versions, v11 (stable) and v12 (master)
earnest phoenix
let me check
quartz kindle
the way roles work is different in both versions
quartz kindle
alright, so its v11
earnest phoenix
yea
quartz kindle
now, you want to check if a guild member has a specific role, right?
earnest phoenix
well, check for multiple roles.
earnest phoenix
okay
quartz kindle
you will see that a member has a property named roles
quartz kindle
earnest phoenix
yea i found it 🙂
quartz kindle
roles gives you a collection, which is a modified map object
if you click on collection, you will get to the page that shows all the things you can do with collections
earnest phoenix
to check roles?
quartz kindle
which returns true if one or more things match
earnest phoenix
hmm, okay
quartz kindle
you can use .has to check if one specific thing exists
quartz kindle
yes
earnest phoenix
but how would i implement it?
quartz kindle
.some is identical to javascript's native array.some()
you can check the javascript's docs at the mozilla website
but in short, its .some(function)
the same way you use other types of iterator functions, such as .map()
earnest phoenix
I honestly don't know how to implement that
quartz kindle
quartz kindle
its not that hard
listOfItems = [item1,item2,item3];
listOfItemsToCheck = [item3];
listOfItems.some(currentItem => listOfItemsToCheck.includes(currentItem))```ok
quartz kindle
im gonna go sleep now, so good luck figuring it out, you should be able to learn a thing or two in the process
earnest phoenix

no one can help you unless you post the problem @lost cove

use https://hasteb.in to share large blocks of code
this is for bot dev but clearly nothings happening to ask about whatever you want
lost cove
idle basalt
you can find better help in dedicated servers though
lost cove
Yeah its supposed to compound
lost cove
My population growth stays the same tho
hushed berry
but the static move in is what throws it off
lost cove
I think it's off because it remains the same when it should be compounding
I need to incorporate years_iterated somehow
hushed berry
yeah theres def a few things wrong with this
the while loop condition should probably be the thing youre actually checking for the break
years_iterated starts at 1 (?)
lost cove
Yeah 0 would throw off the calc I'm pretty sure
years_iterated also needs to be returned in the if condition at the bottom lol
or not idk
lost cove
well yeah that's what I mean tho, if/when I do plug it in to the calc
hushed berry
its not used for any of the calc
lost cove
Yeah you're right actually
hushed berry
you just need to keep a variable with the running pop
lost cove
There wouldn't be anything to plug it into
hushed berry
and increase it by the growth factor
and then add the move_in amount
and keep doing that until you're past the goal
lost cove
Growth factor being population_growth? I have total_pop that does this
hushed berry
growth factor as in the
factor you need to multiply the value by
1 + (perc_growth / 100)
that number
lost cove
Oh okay
lost cove
You know, I have no idea LOL
hushed berry
hahahah
lost cove
But it seemed to get me closer to my goal so I guess I left that in there when I gave up
lost cove
Yeah for sure
I thought I was a good programmer but the recent "algorithm(?)" problems we've been given have been pretty damn hard
I learned C# before python so the switch was like getting hit by a truck
violates every rule I was taught
hushed berry
oh man dont take it too hard
lost cove
Also the problem after this one is basically making a function that determines whether a number is prime...I don't even fckin know how to find that normally LOL
hushed berry
hahahhahahha
lost cove
Needless to say I googled it
hushed berry
i mean
thats the #1 skill of programming
not solving the problem
but figuring out how to solve it
lost cove
Right
hushed berry
using all the resources you have available etc
lost cove
I have an internship lined up already so I don't have to worry about imposter syndrome or anything, but yeah no programmer would ever be expected to know all of this stuff just on a whim

They reached out or you applied?
hushed berry
they reached out to me
lost cove
Damn
hushed berry
im tellin ya man
lost cove
How'd they get ahold of you

So its a clipping service?
hushed berry
ye, mostly

Do you work on the client side or web or full stack or?

Im purely backend ^^
lost cove
No lmfao I'm doing the third one xD
hushed berry
can you paste that one
lost cove
3/3 questions
lost cove
Sure
# 3. (15 points) Write a function named isPrime that accepts an integer as a
# parameter and determines whether or not that number is a prime. The
# function should return a Boolean value (True if prime, False if not prime).
# If a non-numeric value is entered, your function should print an error
# message and return None.
def isPrime(x):
if x > 1:
for i in range (2, x // 2):
if(x % i) == 0:
return False
break
else:
return True
else:
return False
isPrime(11)
what does // 2 do
lost cove
This is google's code my friend
hushed berry
lol
lost cove
All I can say is int division by 2 lmao
Desperate times call for desperate measures >_<
lost cove
I need to just submit and go to bed
hushed berry
i dont really know python all thta well
lost cove
Yeah
just gotta add a try/except statement (same as try catch) for it to meet the requirements
hushed berry
how come?
lost cove
if x isn't an integer, it has to catch that exception and write an error message
hushed berry
try/except seems ugly
hushed berry
makes sense
lost cove
This is the first week we've done loops and the fucking prof throws us into nested while loops 
hushed berry
nested while loops arent badddd
lost cove
This has been the hardest hw by far lmao
I feel bad for the students who haven't ever seen a line of code before this course
hushed berry
yeah, thatd be seriously rtough
copper cradle
lost cove
I think I'd rather use C++
or Assembly
lul
kidding assembly fkin sux
ok back to pop assignment
So with year 0 we start with 1000. Year 1 is 1105. Year two is 1220
So it goes +105 +115
my brain can't handle 
I don't think the prof takes off points so long as you tried the problem
hushed berry
i mean
i kinda take back what I said earlier
it should start at 1
you just need a better variable name
hushed berry
you need to return it 1 based from what i can tell
lost cove
idk im fkin going to bed and accepting this lmao
hushed berry
lmfao
hushed berry
lmao
lost cove
And there's actually spanish homework I haven't done also
Doesn't matter tho I can submit it late

steel cloak
in discord.js how would you go about making a text channel in a catorgory
warm marsh
set the channel's parent.
Although it might have changed in master.
@steel cloak What version of DJS are you using?
If you're using master it's this. js <Guild>.channels.create(name, [options]) Options and other things can be found here https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/GuildChannelStore?scrollTo=create

ahh okay thanks!

earnest phoenix
Contabo give you crazy specs for cheap @earnest phoenix
I pay $15 a month for 30GB RAM, 8 cores and like 1TB SSD
stray garnet
how to fix that, with that users
unkempt ocean
wdym?
earnest phoenix
@stray garnet are you only showing online users? Are you using client.users.size
grim aspen
if you're wanting the total amount of users, use the member count, not by the size of the client
stray garnet
@earnest phoenix Yes
earnest phoenix
Any ideas how to fix this?
public boolean hasVoted(final String userId) {
final AtomicBoolean atmBoolean = new AtomicBoolean(false);
this.api.hasVoted(userId).whenCompleteAsync((hasVoted, e) -> {
atmBoolean.set(hasVoted.booleanValue());
});
return atmBoolean.get();
}```
it instantly returns false it doesn't wait for my check :/message.channel.guild.me.hasPermission() using this but not works
it acts like has permission
actually it hasn't
twilit rapids
v12 or v11
unkempt ocean
v11
twilit rapids
So wdym "not works"
mossy vine
it acts like has permission
actually it hasn't
twilit rapids
.hasPermissions is deprecated
unkempt ocean
unkempt ocean
I did
mossy vine
it acts like has permission
actually it hasn't
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix I use https://contabo.com/
even for $5 a month, you can get 4 cores and 8GB RAM
depends what you're wanting to use it for
i wouldn't use contabo for hosting a website
rip how come
the vps' are performant for what you pay for
but
the protection is meh
oh yeah, my friend DDoSed it and it went down instantly, its a bit better now with the iptables rules he gave me
you can often experience ddos crashes
yeah
when he ddoses it now, it barely does anything (I mean its noticeable, but doesnt completely go off)
but yeah all in all, their protection is shit
I like BlazingFast for web hosting
go to "VPS"
then choose a plan (preferably the ones to the right)
it converts
i use pounds, always converts for me
yes
of course..
it supports Linux and Windows so yeah obviously
it works exactly how you have it setup already
you just have to install all the shit again basically

Think of it like having a separate computer as if it’s just like a laptop next to you to run all your stuff it’s just not next to you and it’s on 24/7

How to get the Users of The Bot?
short siren
What language and library
marsh frost
Curious on how some of you would approach this.
I have a bot running that uses SQL saving for what i've needed up to this point. But, let's say I need to save some data and it could be pretty frequently, essentially a query would be sent every time a message is received, would I be better off storing data in a file format such as json?
small latch
@rough bronze kunt.
mossy vine
@small latch its been dealt with
small latch
Banned af?
mossy vine
@marsh frost if the data is static (wont be changed) then json is perfect. if it changes often, its still better to cache it somehow than to query the database on every message
marsh frost
Say it's for incriminating values, the data would be static, but not final.
'caching it somehow' seems vague and could cause memleaks, I would think.
mossy vine
could
marsh frost
Oh, I think you're confusing the static and final keywords.
mossy vine
im not talking about keywords rn
i dont even know what they are for in java lol
json is for data that doesnt change very often
marsh frost
Oh. What language do you use?
mossy vine
mostly js
marsh frost
Oh, cool deal.
I have other programs in Java that constantly access json, with no issues. Was more or less just curious on how some of the bot developers here approach this situation. I'm new here.
mossy vine
wouldnt a database be faster, even if you make sure you cant corrupt the json on accident?
marsh frost
I'm not sure to be honest.
Let's say it was for an XP system where every message sent, gives 1xp.
Each time a message is sent SQL query would be written in order to increment the value already stored.
I have to think that writing to a json is lighter than a query
earnest phoenix
it's not
anything that requires fire and forget (do it fast and don't think about it) is supposed to be handled by actual databases
when using files you can't write multiple data at the same time
you're locked behind the file concurrency
not to mention, the file will grow to be massive
marsh frost
so a sql server would cache the requests?
marsh frost
So how would it not be limited by mass queries?
earnest phoenix
because databases are built for that
sqlite, for example, has a built in concurrency handler
marsh frost
Also I wasnt talking about writing the entire message to a flat file, more so grabbing a value and increasing by 1
earnest phoenix
which you need to do to increase it
oh wait
you mean the message contents
yeah i'm not talking about that either
i'm talking about how json has formatting rules
and how everything is stored as an uncompressed string
marsh frost
Yeah that's not relevant to what I mean. I mean the actual resource load of grabbing an integer and increasing it by 1.
vs an update query
earnest phoenix
update query would still be more lightweight
marsh frost
Great to know, thanks for your insight!
earnest phoenix
you need to open the whole file, wait for it to be read, and then you can write your data to it in the other case
weary lark
whats a good virtual machine hoster service? (besides azure)
marsh frost
Well, you have to do the same with sql
earnest phoenix
i mean, not really
marsh frost
Vulr has good cloud deployments @weary lark
earnest phoenix
everything is being handled at the core layer, you only need to send your queries
marsh frost
Sure you do cry, you have to select, then update.
AFAIK SQL queries have no math functions for increment a value
earnest phoenix
there's a key type that auto increments iirc
marsh frost
ooo
That'd be nice.
I lied
SQL definitely has the support for math functions it seems
UPDATE myTable
SET ID = ID + 1```
earnest phoenix
i mostly don't handwrite SQL anymore at this point
mossy vine
it does
marsh frost
Are you using a library?
earnest phoenix
i discovered ef core and i've been using it since then
marsh frost
not sure what ef core is
marsh frost
Oh lordy another non-java boi
mossy vine
not many people use java here
earnest phoenix
don't worry, i know java
marsh frost
So there's another question, what do most people use?
marsh frost
Is there a reason most don't use Java? Are there downsides to js vs Java in this instance?
Or is it simply because of JS's popularity and Py's simplicity?
earnest phoenix
they're both languages that require almost to no brain cells so a lot of, well not smart people, use it
marsh frost
I wouldn't say js is over simple, Py takes the cake there 😛
