you'd need to make a gigantic mess for it
restive furnace
i did make embed interfaces too and most of them are optional, yeah
opal plank
its a super pain
thats example i gave is a simple example
but there are times where they return countries for example
as the property
not as value
things that go that route will wreck your interfaces
undone carbon
var today = date + 7884008640
today.toISOString().substring(0, 10);``
TypeError: `today.toISOString is not a function`
Am I doing this wrong?you need a date
a number+toString() isnt a thing
also stop using vars
use let/const
undone carbon
Ah gotcha
opal plank
we both evil geniuses
providing snippets in Ts so we can hear complaints afterwards about 'this code dont wqork'
and then reply in 'you werent suppose to copy it, but understand it'

Do you guys ever reach a point where everything in your bot is theorically working pretty good but you forgot how everything is working inside it so you have this mental confusion and you don't know if your bot is actually great or not?
cinder patio
yes actually.
restive furnace
sometimes
cinder patio
I feel like I all my code is trash
slender thistle
I still somehow know how my bot works despite the code being a total clusterfuck
quartz kindle
every time i need to update something i need to study my own code again

sudden geyser
// and /* */ are your best friends
earnest phoenix
hot take but
opaque seal
//and/* */are your best friends
you already know I ain't use them to describe my code but just to comment code out right?
earnest phoenix
comments are unnecessary if you write clean, readable and managable code
opaque seal
comments are unnecessary if you write clean, readable and managable code
which is why comments are necessary xD
restive furnace
comments are unnecessary if you write clean, readable and managable code
yeah, i do comment on public projects tho
sudden geyser
It may seem clean at the time, but it'll creep up on you later.
restive furnace
and my codebases are pretty manageable and readable IMO
sudden geyser
Even if you were to make your code as clean and readable as possible. Plus if someone else comes across your code comments will help
proven lantern
your code should be readable. if you need comments then the code is not readable
sudden geyser
You can have clean code and still have a use out of comments.
opaque seal
^
restive furnace
the fact is my comments are unreadable while code is readable
sudden geyser
There are cases where you should use comments, like if you're writing a library and document your public classes, methods, properties, etc.
proven lantern
like javadoc comments?
sudden geyser
Even outside that, for maintainability, I'd suggest using them.
Yes
or JSDoc, or Rust doc, or whatever
proven lantern
documenting is good
slender thistle
I use docstrings in my bot because the stuff I return is just way too fucking hard to be understood without proper explanation
(I am lazy to use dictionaries so I just return everything in tuples)
proven lantern
are you following the principles of functional programming?
every function is always simple with functional programming
slender thistle
I don't go by any principles and do everything however I want tbh
So please enlighten me with knowledge
proven lantern
chaos coding
slender thistle
Hey, it works just fine and I write the documentation for the most part 😂
sudden geyser
tuple programming
proven lantern
one rule is a function never uses global variables, only uses variable from input or locally.
the input variables are never modified. in fact no variables are ever modified
slender thistle
"modified" codewise?
proven lantern
mutated
slender thistle
Well yeah that's why I'm using tuples
slender thistle
eh no that's the part I doubt if applies to my code
sudden geyser
It depends on what you're doing really. Is the global variable the only variable you'll be using (aka it's not passed as a parameter, so it’s unique rather than changed)? Then go ahead and use it if it doesn't make your code messy.
slender thistle
I don't specifically have any global variables. I only access the bot object through multiple files and rely on getting the tuple elements with it
that's about as global as my code is
proven lantern
do you have a functional that you can call twice with the same input and get a different result?
feral aspen
console.log(`New User "${member.user.username}" has joined "${member.guild.name}"` );
member.guild.channels.find(c => c.name === "welcome").send(`"${member.user.username}" has joined this server`);
});```
How can I make it find only in 1 specific guild, in a specific channel ID? and send a specific message?Me or Ben is no?
proven lantern
then you probably are not breaking the rules too bad
slender thistle
Talking to Ben
feral aspen
Ahh alright
slender thistle
for a specific guild, check member.id against a string
proven lantern
you can memotize the functions to speed them up a bunch
sudden geyser
@feral aspen the 1 specific guild I assume is supposed to be the guild the member joined, correct? If so, you can find the channel ID with member.channels.cache.get(...)
I think your mistake was calling .find() on .channels when it's a manager and not a collection
feral aspen
My bot is in like 100 servers, but I want to make the guildMemberAdd only to 1 server
so I would find the id of the welcome channel I need

doesn't guildMemberAdd require a oauth token?
sudden geyser
no
slender thistle
No
feral aspen
No?
slender thistle
It just requires the bot to be in a server with the joining user
sudden geyser
Maybe check if member.guild.id is equal to whatever guild ID
slender thistle
Why the living hell did I say member.id, oops
autumn aspen
lmao
proven lantern
oh, the event listener doesn't require oauth. the method to add a user to a guild does

Would this work? for only 1 specific channel in a server

Hi, what do u think is better for developing a site, php or node.js ?
sudden geyser
Use the one you like (they both have their ups and downs). I'd prefer Node.js
earnest phoenix
Which one is cheaper to host, faster and secured ? This is what I want to know
quartz kindle
there is no difference in hosting
restive furnace
pins i misunderstood, but yeah ^
quartz kindle
unless you go for something like wordpress which basically does it for you
node.js vs php is debatable, but most benchmarks indicate node.js is faster, because it uses an event loop, while php spawns worker threads for each connection
slender thistle
Python or node.js :^)
restive furnace
i heard that you should use any other than php, since it's outdated and unsafe sometimes.
earnest phoenix
not so much anymore, php became decent in 7+ but too late to the party
php is way too slow in modern web dev
blazing portal
if(unsafe) {
makeSafe();
}
I saw that there are no web hosting services that support node.js, so you I need to buy a VPS that is more expensive
a vps is like 3 bucks a month
blazing portal
you can get good enough VPS for 2-3 bucks a month
quartz kindle
vps is not more expensive than webhosting
opaque seal
^
restive furnace
web hosting = 1 - 2 bucks a month, vps 2-3 bucks a month.
earnest phoenix
if anything, webhosting is more expensive than a vps
quartz kindle

most providers offer a cheaper webhosting pack than a vps tho
earnest phoenix

earnest phoenix
What do u hink about contabo ?
honest perch
its bad
earnest phoenix
Why ??
honest perch
@blazing portal could you explain
blazing portal
it's good, if you are willing to get lower disk speed
honest perch
@earnest phoenix hidden fees, cheap, you get what you pay for, slow write speeds and read speeds
earnest phoenix
a ok.
blazing portal
what hidden fees? I've used contabo for over 3 years now, never paid any fee
blazing portal
slow write and read speeds are pretty irrelevant though unless you have millions of page views
fluid basin
If you're looking at static website hosting or simple web applications, PHP is a very mature language and has many frameworks and libraries to support it, not to mention along with flexible hosting providers and many options.
Other the other hand, if you need a large scale (web/otherwise) application or real-time applications, using NodeJS or more recent technologies with better support for realtime programs will be recommended.
blazing portal
@honest perch can you see a method ban here? https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Guild

is there a way to turn js "2,000,000" to ```js
"2000000"
one option is to use .replace
karmic compass
it only replaces once though
quartz kindle
replace with regex
slender thistle
.replace(/,/g, "")?
quartz kindle

karmic compass
what does /g do?
quartz kindle
global
slender thistle
I guess I'm more used to Python's way of implementing .replace
replace(self, old, new, count=-1, /)
Return a copy with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new.
count
Maximum number of occurrences to replace.
-1 (the default value) means replace all occurrences.
If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are
replaced.

Save the interval somewhere, and clear it via clearInterval in the stop command.

an interval without something to cancel it does not stop

just for the love of god, dont fuck with JsonB tables
stark abyss
opal plank
i absolutely regret dicking with jsonb tables
its handy but hella complicated
yo'ure storing json in a table
its more reliable to stringfiy it and then save it
apart from that, i have no complaints with pg whatsoever
stark abyss
Okay I'll seen on youtube how to use it, if it seems something that I can use it then I will try
mystic tundra
https://github.com/sayuribotbr/rapidsql this library probably can help you start with sql
stark abyss
mystic tundra
It is very simpler and easier than postgres
opal plank
like i mentioned, postgres is mostly good for everything, though some other db's have better advantages. if you want something lighter and more simple, there are better optionss. postgres is a good, reliable and efficient mid tier db. The example i gave you is the top tier end, where you get too much traffic and might wanna use something else. theres also the low tier where postgres is 'too advanced' for what you need
say, you only need a database to store prefixes for guilds
then postgres would be the incorrect tool for the job
can it do the job? absolutely
should you? likely not
unless you want to continuing developing the bot where you'1ll need more advanced tools
stark abyss
I plan to store quite a bit of information
stark abyss
I am planing to make a market kinda thing where people can add what they are selling (in game cards)
OKay
opal plank
postgres would be a reliable option in this case
if you plan to future-proof* your bot, use that
stark abyss
Alright sounds good thanks
opal plank
i put an asterisc there cuz like i mention, depending on the traffic you get you might wanna use elasticsearch or a quicker db

If anyone knows why a fetch "post" won't obtain a user/pass/hash cookie when the body is correct but all the other cookies needed. Writing a bot to log into a site and it works when I copy and paste the cookie but won't send it without replying bad statuses.
Not sure it's cors block either, or origins issue. Headers look right and are exactly identical to the sites header. Might be a cloud-front block or something odd.
sudden geyser
@obtuse jolt try logging message.mentions.channels
It doesn't show up in the log for message.mentions, but it's a non-null return type so it should exist.
obtuse jolt
it literally logged everything about the guild and now i cant see anything useful

no?

Then you probably got a collection of channels

@boreal iron then how can i fix?

You could use Object.values to convert the object key/value into an array of the object's values, then call .find() on it, while passing it a function to see if summonerName is equal to whatever name. I don't know what the actual structure of the object looks like, so I can't provide an example.

Easily caught, try building your nested statements slower
and running console.log, if things underline red check them immediately or know why they are.
Sometimes it can be a lack of closing brackets or a function.

table is a ordered storage for your stuff

is it like object?

Can someone explain what this means? This is quick.db
@stark abyss think of it like a key/value that can persist:
economy.set(...) sets the key as myBalance to 500.
economy.get(...) gets the key "myBalance", which returns 500 as that's what you just set.
I haven't used QuickDB but this is the concept behind it.

usually you'd want an indexer on it
in this case, it'd be 1, 2....
its an unique identifier

so let's say if I don't want to include a nickname for someone I would have to since it's a table?
opal plank
your tables can take any shape you want
unique patio
To sum it in your mind, it can be seen like an object but it's fixed.

object but it's fixed okay

therefore you allow its shape
if you want a value to be permitted to be empty, so be it

Do not use .json for a database
Using .json file for a database is not a smart idea. If you do use it as a database, trust me, you'll regret it.
First off, .json is a data format, and should not be used as a database. .json is usually used for configuration like your bot token or prefix.
Second off, .json is a way to represent data as a sequence of bytes, usually for transmitting as a message or storing in longer-term storage. A database is a way to organize data to make retrieval efficient. You can, at least in principle, store data in .json format then later read it in and extract out useful information. That would be using it as a kind of rudimentary database, but it wouldn’t be scalable or even practical for more than relatively small amounts of data.
Third off, if the ,json file gets updated frequently, then corruption may happen. The data in the file may be wiped out, and even if you make a backup every once in a while, you may still encounter the file being corrupt at an unexpected time. And you can save a lot of time just by using an actual database.
How do I prevent this from hapening?
I recommend you use an actual database such as MySQL, MongoDB, QuickDB, or other reliable databases.
