[earnest phoenix]

ye i also think that only

[royal pawn]

Is that discord.js or discord.py

[earnest phoenix]

Discord.js

[royal pawn]

I'm asking for discord.py

[earnest phoenix]

You didnt specify language

so how we can do it?

Show me a database set example

[royal pawn]

Oh You can identify it by looking my example code

[finite quiver]

Your cmd clears reactions that might be the prob

[earnest phoenix]

You sent it when i was typing

[royal pawn]

Oh

[finite quiver]

Make like if the bot has permission then clear otherwise don't

[earnest phoenix]

You should decorate your command with

@commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.user)

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46087253/cooldown-for-command-on-discord-bot-python

checking that only

[royal pawn]

Yeah. It's a cooldown for every user. I want to set different cooldown for different users

[earnest phoenix]

Use syntax

And add member's id

Easy

Idk python...

[royal pawn]

Ok

[earnest phoenix]

Just googled for you

it is

i confirm @carmine topaz

but there isnt a fix

so it removes the reactions

and doesnt requires manage perms

@clear marlin

[finite quiver]

Change they if bot has permission then remove
Or make help menu in js I can help on that when online pc

[earnest phoenix]

If you do that your help command wont work and topgg wont accept your bot

ok

It happened to me

[earnest phoenix]

yeah thats the problem

Use buttons more faster

but discord.py hasnt released

You dont need to wait until bot react all emojis

😢

[finite quiver]

Make help in d.js 13

[earnest phoenix]

ye thats y

Then you need to use another lib

[earnest phoenix]

whole project in py and help in js will that work

Or just shut down bot

[earnest phoenix]

lol no

[finite quiver]

Yes multiple hosting works

[earnest phoenix]

But worst option

ye

[hybrid cargo]

That's the worst idea that anyone can come up with

[earnest phoenix]

well i think i need to use another lib

Yes

Or learn js

Actually discord js isnt hard that

[hybrid cargo]

Either rewrite in js or other lang, or just fork any custom dpy libs if there are any

[finite quiver]

Seems like the last resource though

[hybrid cargo]

Even then double hosting and running your bot on 2 client instances is really the worst choice which u should never do

[finite quiver]

True

[earnest phoenix]

I was doing 5 host when iam noob

[hybrid cargo]

Everyone was a noob at some point, what matters is how fast and how good you develop your skills

[proven lantern]

my slash commands are hosted on serverless

i win

[earnest phoenix]

?

So they are application command?

[eternal furnace]

I was thinking about using multiple hosts... can someone explain me what problems do you face?

[earnest phoenix]

Brainfuck

Itsnt hard code bot with all features in the same code

[proven lantern]

use aws lambda. it'll be free

Here is the DB data:

[loud ore]

and also https interactions

[loud ore]

and sloooooow

[earnest phoenix]

💀

[loud ore]

What this chendge? On end of the day your code compiled runs on hosting and works faster

[loud ore]

2 gateway client instance yes, but when u running interactions http server or dashboard api isn't that stupid

[surreal sage]

can you content.includes(array)?

like one item of the array matches and it becomes positive?

[clear marlin]

A help command shouldn't require permissions. Now, if you're talking about a help menu, each time the user reacts to a certain reaction it edits the page that was sent by the bot. The bot doesn't need permissions to edit it's own message.

[prime glacier]

getting err while installing chalk

can someone help

[smoky bolt]

Hello guys, have you ever faced this problem when you invite Plasma to your Discord server?

"This bot can't join more servers as it has not been verified or is requesting gateway intents it has not been verified for. Ask the bot's developer about https://dis.gd/bot-verification so you can add it to your server!"

[proven lantern]

they need to verify their bot

[jolly notch]

The bot needs to be verified

[proven lantern]

lol

[smoky bolt]

Plasma is such a popular Discord bot; however, I can't add it to my server. Is this related to developers, right?

[proven lantern]

it must not be that popular yet

[jolly notch]

^

[proven lantern]

i think it's limited to 100 servers until its verified

[jolly notch]

Looks like an old bot

[prime glacier]

can someone help!

[jolly notch]

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-gif-23120054

[prime glacier]

it was a verified bot but it was unverified because bot was against discord api rules

[prime glacier]

😂 nice gif thanks for it

[jolly notch]

lmao good good

[prime glacier]

[smoky bolt]

Okay, thank you. I'll find another bot that creates giveaways that by user' levels

[prime glacier]

ok

[proven lantern]

what rules did they break?

[pale vessel]

Plasma was recently unverified due to our invite requirement giveaways and server requirement giveaways, this is due to our outdated docs which say we still have server requirements

Plasma does not allow advertisement with the bot. We removed server requirements months ago, and to comply with Discord’s rules we will be removing invite requirement giveaways

We have been unverified mainly due to a misunderstanding and lack of communication

Thanks for understanding, Plasma management

[jolly notch]

ouch

what does invite requirement giveaways even do?

[prime glacier]

inv roles

[split hazel]

basically make it so you need to have x invites to be able to join a giveaway

for guild requirement you need to be in said server to be able to enter

[jolly notch]

how does that break tos

[split hazel]

advertising

discord doesn't really want servers to grow like that

[proven lantern]

found this

[prime glacier]

yes

[split hazel]

i like how it says stop it right now

something a femboy would say

[whole surge]

guys rate this website

[spark flint]

Needs fixing a bit

[jolly notch]

seems like a dodgy link

[spark flint]

The positioning at the footer too

[whole surge]

its not responsive for mobile yet

[vivid fulcrum]

it's horrid

[spark flint]

Work on the colour scheme

The icons are really similar colours to the background

[jolly notch]

fucking hell

this websites worse than a 1980's website

[whole surge]

um ok

[jolly notch]

navbar looks like a w3schools navbar but with some animations

[whole surge]

lol true

[vivid fulcrum]

font doesn't match the aesthetic you're going for, the colors don't match, you don't have a palette at all, nothing is pleasing to look at and everything has attention, i don't know where to look at first

also statements like these are cheesy and annoying

[spark flint]

Please please please fix the text sizes

[jolly notch]

pleaase fix the images

[vivid fulcrum]

look on https://dribbble.com/ and https://www.behance.net/search?field=132 for good UI/UX inspiration

because this is horrid and it looks like a 5 minute project

[spark flint]

[nimble kiln]

wtf is that

[spark flint]

The site they wanted us to look at

[vivid fulcrum]

escape it with a backslash

\`

what are you confused about

literally just insert it into your string

lol

...inside of the string

where you want the codeblock to appear

you didn't escape the second backtick

[dusty wave]

Peope quick question do you know how to get a emoji as a image file using a bot??

[vivid fulcrum]

a custom emoji or a unicode emoji

[dusty wave]

[muted halo]

hi

[frigid grail]

Oe mp stp

[spark flint]

I'm working on a domain parking system, where you just point the nameservers and it shows a really simple coming soon page.

which is better for my usecase:
apache or nginx

[split hazel]

domain parking doesnt sound very ethical

[spark flint]

well its just a landing page

change nameservers to ns1.XXXXXX.com and ns2.XXXXXX.com and it will show a coming soon page with no ads or anything

[split hazel]

i meant parking as in buying tons of domains and selling them at a higher price

[spark flint]

ah no i don't do that

[split hazel]

nice

[spark flint]

well this domain i might eventually sell

myparked.site

[timber fractal]

why does this error occur and how can i fix it?

...\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).```

[spark flint]

do npm rebuild

[timber fractal]

alr did that

[spark flint]

try deleting the node_modules folder

[split hazel]

oh god fucking canvas errors

i hated that shit so much

[timber fractal]

and then

[spark flint]

npm i

[split hazel]

their native code is so sloppy it requires a very specific environment otherwise it will not compile

[timber fractal]

my vsc is dying

[split hazel]

oh dear

compiling is cpu and disk heavy

but yeah uninstalling and reinstalling everything should work

[timber fractal]

bruh moment

so true

[split hazel]

the classic meme

[timber fractal]

at least it worked

[split hazel]

and bro your pc is about to fry

you are saved by that ssd

try compiling with a hdd

[timber fractal]

yes it is

[timber fractal]

wha?

[split hazel]

with a hard disk drive

[timber fractal]

like

uh

pc building?

[split hazel]

right there are two types of disks yes

[timber fractal]

yeah

ssd (slow spinny disk) and hdd

[split hazel]

i was saying that compiling with a hard disk drive would be very slow

[timber fractal]

oh

[split hazel]

i dont think it stands for slow spinny disk lmao

[timber fractal]

no it doesnt

[split hazel]

solid state drive

no moving parts

veri fast

[earnest phoenix]

Msg.reply() replies mention on how can i turn it off

[timber fractal]

if v12, i think you cant and you just have to do <message>.channel.send() and V13 you can do something with the Allowedmentions: option, check the docs for that

[split hazel]

yeah

[split hazel]

message.reply({ content: 'hello world', allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false } });

[earnest phoenix]

Is there any way to do it to all messages

Like define it in client

[split hazel]

I think there actually is

[boreal iron]

As client option, yes

[split hazel]

new Client({ allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false } });

for once discord js got something right

[earnest phoenix]

Thanks you

This red area was making me crazy

I think he doesnt care how trash is it lol

[lean sinew]

        const ticks = loadJSON("/home/runner/Bot2/Handlers/ticks.json")
        console.log(ticks)
        var objIndex = ticks.findIndex((obj => obj.userid == message.author.id && obj.closed == false));
        if (ticks[objIndex].userid == message.author.id && ticks[objIndex].closed == false) {
            return message.reply("You already have an active modmail. Do ?mmclose to close your modmail.")
        }
        console.log(ticks[objIndex])

why does it says cannot read property userid of undefined

[
    {
        "userid": "testid123",
        "closed": true
    }
]

this is the ticks.json

[earnest phoenix]

obj.userId

[lean sinew]

bruh what

its userid

[earnest phoenix]

Oh mb i didnt see second msg

[lean sinew]

lol

[earnest phoenix]

Try to console it

console.log(obj.userid)

[lean sinew]

wait

bruh it worked now

nvm i put the json upside down

its supposed to be

[
    {
        "closed": false,
        "userid": "testid123"
    }
]

[earnest phoenix]

Whats different?

[lean sinew]

idk

it worked like this

tho

[lean sinew]

Actually nah i was just tripping the object is undefined

[hushed estuary]

hey

i want to learn to develop a bot

problem is i dont know what is javascript

i dont have knowledge about it

so should i learn java script first

?

[boreal iron]

I wonder if that's a question or not...
Might make sense to learn driving a car, before driving it.

common sense

[coral sigil]

:D

[lyric mountain]

That supposing some people actually learn how to drive

[hushed estuary]

but like some websites saying install node.js

and any other coding apps

my friend used

repl

so is repl better

i made node.js repl

of replit

uh

no

my friend used itt

to make

first created node.js

there

something like this

um

idk

my friends all made

bot

in 2 to 3 days

someone made songs

with mini games

my friend made a mod bot

like carl bot

with repl

no

hm ok thanks

thanks

[lyric mountain]

Token leak

Refresh it asap

[hushed estuary]

ii

i cutted the

token

little bit

[lyric mountain]

You cut the start

The start is the bot id

[hushed estuary]

like to show the ss

i cutted some

[lyric mountain]

So if anyone get the bot Id they can fill the missing part

[hushed estuary]

token letters

[hushed estuary]

uh

but it is a test

bot

i am learning currently how to make

i am new to discord.js and node

[lyric mountain]

Still, people can wreck havoc even with a testing bot

Better be safe than sorry

[hushed estuary]

hm

ok

what is const client = new Discord.Client();

[lyric mountain]

And yes, invest time in learning JS first, then Node.JS and only then bot devving

[hushed estuary]

ohk

i will learn

js first

[vital void]

it has both, Online IDE and code hosting

[hushed estuary]

let me get a good course of it

js

[lyric mountain]

There are some steps you can't skip else you end up with a broken and unfixable bot

[hushed estuary]

uh

ok

[lyric mountain]

W3schools

Can't get any better

[hushed estuary]

w3schools

hm

i dont have any

i am in 8th grade

i only learnt html little bit

like to create webpages and forms

[vital void]

umm isn't it still kinda hard if u sum up all stuff in just 2 hours?

[hushed estuary]

is basic knowledge enough or need to go advance

uh

https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

this website good for java?

js

java script

it is like this

oh ok

for java script should we know

html

and css

[vital void]

yeah, but as of he/she said he/she hasn't tried other languages too

otherwise 2 hours are kinda ok to start

[hushed estuary]

i havent learn html

python

css

i havent learnt any language yet

[vital void]

that's what she said

[hushed estuary]

i am not she

i am he

[wheat mesa]

you don't need to know html and css for js

that's just if you're making websites/frontend stuff

js is primarily used for web development, that's why it's trying to teach you that

but for discord bots you don't need to know and html or css

(Unless you plan on making a website for your bot, but that can be done later on)

[slender wagon]

author: {
           name: `${req.user.username}`
         },

i am passing a embed through a webhook and whenever i pass something like req.user.username inside a embed it doesn't work but as a message it works

i've also logged it and it is just fine

it just doesn't send

[wet fog]

Because the context isn’t the same for embed and message

[slender wagon]

wym

[wet fog]

You should be sending the embed as a embed not a message

[slender wagon]

if i do name: `Grainger`` it will go through

[wet fog]

They aren’t the same code

[slender wagon]

u don't get what i mean

[wet fog]

Explain

[slender wagon]

so basically if i do this it doesn't work

but if instead of req.user.username i put my username "grainger"

it works

as an embed

[wet fog]

Js

?

[slender wagon]

yes

[wet fog]

Not my cup of tea

[slender wagon]

rip

fixed

[subtle kiln]

Do anybody here already applied for a gateway intent and know how long it takes. Because you just send the form and that's it... there isn't any mail or DM confirmation that would give an estimate

[wheat mesa]

Usually takes about 5 business days

Might take a little longer though because of message intent requests coming in at a high rate

[subtle kiln]

Nice, I sent it the last week. It should be approved soon 🤞

[wheat mesa]

Gl!

[subtle kiln]

thx

[earnest phoenix]

I hosted localhost 3000 with my pc but i cant connect it with my phone they are connected to same wifi

[boreal iron]

well then add a firewall rule to allow incoming requests on port 3000

[quartz kindle]

you likely need to port forward your router

[earnest phoenix]

I though local is meaning wifi not device

Using online editors more easy

Or just ctrl+f12 and mobile mod

[quartz kindle]

localhost = this pc
from the phone you should connect to PCs_Local_IP:3000
the phone will ask the router to find the local IP of your pc

which might need port forwarding so the router knows what to do with it, as most block incoming requests by default

you can use cmd ipconfig to find your local IP

[earnest phoenix]

Okay thanks

[quartz kindle]

usually they are something like 192.168.1.5 or 10.1.1.5

the first 3 numbers are the local network, the last number is the device id in the network

[earnest phoenix]

Can i ask you another question (i ll want to you to check my code (is it good coded or no))

[quartz kindle]

if your local network is 192.168.1 then your devices will be:
192.168.1.1 (router)
192.168.1.2 (pc)
192.168.1.3 (phone)
etc

[boreal iron]

Not in your local network

[pale vessel]

I applied day one and it took about 2 weeks, if I recall correctly

You were right about it having no sign of confirmation, it straight up just redirects you back to the bot page after you submit the form, which wasn't very reassuring

[earnest phoenix]

Accepte ma demande d'amis

[frigid grail]

yes

[subtle kiln]

ok thx

[boreal iron]

[split hazel]

tim you're such a comedian

[jolly notch]

lmao

just noticed

[quartz kindle]

:^)

[boreal iron]

Yeah well trying to update my home server

Proxmox doesn’t support hardware RAID

So the mainboard has only limited SATA ports

Means I need a PCIE adapter card for one or better two m2 drives

[jolly notch]

what about ESXi

[boreal iron]

Since Proxmox is heavily writing the drive I necessarily need a second one for the OS as soft RAID

Yeah but I need two m.2 drives

In one PCIE slot

8x for 2x 4x NVME

[jolly notch]

Humans have 1 mouth but 2 or more sausages can fit in it at the same time

[boreal iron]

Well it’s not an issue at all just need an adapter specially made for this

[jolly notch]

yes

or apply the human logic

[boreal iron]

That’s not so easy than you might think

I’m limited with x8 slots

The RAID controller also needs a slot

I could technically fit all 3 in but unfortunately the place between RAID controller and 2nd adapter card is not enough

I’m already thinking about just putting in 1 NVME drive instead of a RAID

And taking the risk

But since I’m already upgrading again I hoped for a solution which lasts for some years

[quartz kindle]

The member of this voice state is uncached.

fetch the member

[simple stump]

ah

okay

[split hazel]

discord js relies on cache to the point where it shits itself if cache isnt present

[quartz kindle]

at least now it gives you a proper error

v12 was "cant read x of undefined" left and right if you had missing caches

[split hazel]

nice

think of the wasted cpu cycles checking if the cache is okay

sorry os development makes you go insane

[quartz kindle]

thats nothing compared to the gazillion checks v8 does on every single js value

besides, thats the entire point of a cache, checking if its there lmao

[earnest phoenix]

Whenever I start my bot I get this error.

nevermind I fixed it <o/

[green kestrel]

i just found out something surprising

github actions has full access to the internet for an action.... and lets you run a discord bot.

im using it for a unit test of my lib

im able to connect to discord websocket, run REST requests, connect to a VC and send audio...

yeah would have expected just a few more restrictions than that though

and apparently the instance can run for up to 72 hours before github yoinks it

so you could have a cron job to run every 72h if you wanted to relaunch it lol

[quartz kindle]

yes, there was a dude who was literally hosting his bot on github actions

[green kestrel]

lol

how well did that work

i mean the vps is tiny, its like 3gb

[quartz kindle]

apparently well enough for him not to need a vps

[green kestrel]

so i guess a D++ bot wouldnt even tickle it

[quartz kindle]

but from what i've read, github action max runtime is 6 hours

[green kestrel]

i could practically run triviabot in it if not for the lack of a db lol

[quartz kindle]

so his bot would probably restart every 6 hours

[green kestrel]

lol true

but im really liking how i can do proper unit tests in it

i havent seen any other lib running unit tests in gh actions

not sure why

[quartz kindle]

most dont even have them

too much work to setup

[green kestrel]

but these projects are years old, you'd have thought they'd have had time

[quartz kindle]

they have a few independent tests and stuff

but i dont think anyone has a full online test

[green kestrel]

ive managed to get it all up and running in 6 months with auto packing and all sorts, its not that complex 🙂

[quartz kindle]

but you're a genius with 160 iq

lmao

[green kestrel]

lmao, i sure am not

im more like one of these people who has 60 iq when it comes to anything not a computer

[quartz kindle]

well i admire how much effort you put into things and how fast you made D++

i run out of energy super quickly, so i develop very slowly

im finding it hard to concentrate these days idk why

maybe im just burned out

[green kestrel]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

a few months ago i started working on an independent discord lib in js

and found out that the ws package is pretty terrible

i rolled my own custom websockets and they are like 20x faster lol

[boreal iron]

#development message

[quartz kindle]

yup

idk

its like

the stuff i have in my todo list is not exciting anymore

[boreal iron]

API v2 est. 2031

[quartz kindle]

it just feels like a chore

[green kestrel]

whats up with the ws module

[boreal iron]

Yeah got so many small project I always delay

Because they can delayed

[quartz kindle]

a lot of time is wasted in their internals, their code is confusing with lots of checks and lots of jumps

but to be fair they go very far to support the entire spec

[green kestrel]

weird

youd think something so well tested and highly relied upon would be optimised

[quartz kindle]

i wrote a websocket for just the subset of the spec that discord uses

[green kestrel]

i found another discord ws quirk today

if your lib talks ETF, then a shard websocket must be binary, if it talks json, a shard socket can be EITHER binary or text frames, but in either instance, a VOICE websocket can ONLY EVER be text frames, or your frames are.... silently ignored

[quartz kindle]

i measured the time spent processing websocket messages from tcp reception until json parsing, and over 2000 messages, ws spent full 6 seconds processing them

[green kestrel]

ick

[quartz kindle]

lmao

i didnt do voice yet

[green kestrel]

tbh

voice was the one set of tests i expected to fail on gh actions

i'd have expected udp to be firewalled except port 52

[quartz kindle]

i also rolled out my own ETF in pure js, which turned out faster than discord's official ETF package lol

[green kestrel]

lol

discords package is ass

its supposed to be heavily optimised, is it bob

the code that builds a buffer uses C malloc, and uses it badly

i changed it to use a vector and reserve(), its a ton faster

[quartz kindle]

nice

im going for pure js so i cant do that

but i got a pretty nice 30-50% performance boost

[green kestrel]

also

it uses recursive descent to build a js v8 object

Local<> type or something

those are shit slow in comparison to nlohmann::json containers

[quartz kindle]

can you do direct conversion between nlohmann and v8 tho?

[green kestrel]

no

[quartz kindle]

im pretty sure you always need transversals

[green kestrel]

but i dont need to, i needed nlohmann

[quartz kindle]

ah well yes

v8 objects cant be converted from anything, they always need to be built from scratch

kind of a bummer

[green kestrel]

from what i hear the discord team hates ERL/ETF

i heard they'd love to get rid of it

but too many bots use it

[quartz kindle]

they should just do it

[green kestrel]

iirc the official client uses it too

[quartz kindle]

they never cared about that for any other update they made

why care about this

[green kestrel]

other updates dont generally remove anything

[quartz kindle]

just make it a semver major api version and deprecate etf

[green kestrel]

they just change things

[quartz kindle]

etf vs json makes lietrally 10% difference in message size

[green kestrel]

i bet some massive bot devs would kick up a stink

[quartz kindle]

in exchange for 50% more cpu usage in most cases

[green kestrel]

its not about difference in message size

if you parse json, you have to deal with indentation, character encoding, etc

basically build a recursive descent parser

[quartz kindle]

if anything, they should use messagepack

[green kestrel]

and all your numbers, you have to read from strings

with a binary protocol all your numbers come packed as binary

[quartz kindle]

there are plenty of better binary protocols to chose from

[green kestrel]

no stoull()

sure

id never heard of etf

and its used by what

[quartz kindle]

also, ETF stores boolean and null and strings lol

[green kestrel]

two kinda esoteric languages

yeah true false and null can be identified quickly though

theyre an atom type

strings are not

you just look for an atom being used as a value whos first char is one of: n, t, f

[quartz kindle]

yeah but they cost the same amount of bytes as strings

[green kestrel]

they are O(1) to parse

at least if you do it in C++

you can make a safe assumption, discord only ever uses an atom as a value in the case of null, or boolean

any other time it uses a utf8 string type

so if you have a value that is atom, you know its one of those two types and just check the first char 😄

(erlpack doesnt do this)

[quartz kindle]

im pretty sure they use atoms for other things

[green kestrel]

key names

but never values iirc

oh oh, in etf, an object key can also itself be a complex object or array type

but youll never see it in anything discord sends you

as it mimics json, and json can only have a string as a key

or number

[quartz kindle]

im using the same code to parse both keys and values

so im not really taking that advantage

[green kestrel]

yeah

but json cant represent this legally:

{[1,2,3]: [5,6,7]}

etf can, i suppose C++ could (but why)

[quartz kindle]

ye

another buffer quirk in js is that depending on the buffer length, its faster to loop over it rather than use the built in latin/utfslice functions

[green kestrel]

lol really?

[quartz kindle]

ye

generally if a string is shorter than 20-30 characters, looping is faster

a lot of my performance improvements came from this lol

same for utf

[stark pawn]

I thought I understood coding but now I might just quit..

[quartz kindle]

thats like default vsc?

ah

it was an extension, but now its built in

you have to enable it in the vsc settings

👍

[quartz kindle]

its just a matter of learning how things work behind the scenes

for example how UTF8 works, how text is represented in binary

[green kestrel]

cant you just manipulate it as a raw byte array

why a string

[quartz kindle]

wdym

its decoding a string from the etf buffer

to build the js object

[green kestrel]

sure

but a binary buffer is not a string

having it as a string means youre stuck with string methods

having it as byte array would be more practical

[quartz kindle]

but it is a string?

[green kestrel]

kinda?

[quartz kindle]

its a string value received from discord

i have to give it to the user as a string

[green kestrel]

i mean a jpeg file can be held in a string too

[quartz kindle]

well discord doesnt send you jpegs

[green kestrel]

it can

[quartz kindle]

since when

[green kestrel]

webhook endpoint, encoded as base64

for the pfp

you can send them like that too

[quartz kindle]

only if you use the cdn

[green kestrel]

nope, this isnt for cdn

[quartz kindle]

they dont send that via websocket

never seen that

[green kestrel]

unless you mean a REST endpoint

[lament rock]

Why does the typescript enum type suck

enum SomeEnum {
  some, // 0
  thing // 1
}
type SomeEnumType = keyof SomeEnum; // "some" | "thing"

const anotherOne: SomeEnumType = SomeEnum[0]; // type string is not assignable to type SomeEnumType

It doesn't even offer suggestions for the inverse of the enum definition

Some DBs offer expression evaluation like simple math. SQL for example allows for instance: UPDATE table SET column = column + 1;

That's exponentional, not linear

linear would be a static value

[wheat mesa]

Adding to the previous value

[green kestrel]

xp gaining should not be linear

the more xp you gain, the harder it should be

it should be somewhat exponential

[lament rock]

Then you should be careful with your multiplier because too much or too little is disheartening

[green kestrel]

last time i did this i drew a curve into a paint program

and then i would read from the curve

[lament rock]

[green kestrel]

level across X axis XP across the Y

convered the curve to a spline in a draw package

[lament rock]

You can statically create a curve with some coordinate and spline logic vs reading pixels

[green kestrel]

this meant that if i wanted to change the levelling i could edit the curve visually

[wheat mesa]

Logarithmic-ish level gain?

[green kestrel]

no dont read the pixels

convert it to a spline and save that

then read a position

[lament rock]

Okay. You didn't mention that, so it was kinda ambiguous. Just want to make sure people are still sane

[green kestrel]

but im not a maths/stats guy, i did this via a pregenerated table

you only need precalculated points for each level number vs xp value

hmmm, ^2 can get out of control quickly

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

something like this perhaps

its not exponential, but becomes more difficult to level up the more you go up the scale

and lol, rectum

[quartz kindle]

access how? list or find? find based on what input?

[lament rock]

You could have a static amount of xp required per level, but have a 📉 so that it gets harder to reach a level each time. If you use math to figure out what level someone is based off xp instead of incrementing a level field, you're saving some storage space, albeit a little amount, and you won't have to deal with BigInts as soon

[quartz kindle]

arr.find(item => typeof item[key] !== "undefined")

[green kestrel]

imagine using a language where bigints are a problem

[lament rock]

I fucked myself because I use BigInts for currency but can't mix with floats

[quartz kindle]

just keep your ints below 53 bits :^)

[green kestrel]

lol

not that simple

iirc my snowflake id is below 53 bits

[lament rock]

Someone is already at something something quintillion

[green kestrel]

but just you try and store it in a js number

it'll round it to the nearest 10k

lol

[quartz kindle]

its not below 53 bits lol

[green kestrel]

it'll do the same to a 53 bit number

[quartz kindle]

your id is 58 bits

have a lastgained timestamp

[green kestrel]

gain xp based on if they were active during a 1 hour window

so no matter how much you spam, you can only gain xp once per hour

or per 15 min

or 5 min

whatever you choose

[lament rock]

That name is horrifying

[green kestrel]

all my homies love mee6.

[quartz kindle]

chose one

function xpNeededForLevel(lvl) {
  const base = 7.5;
  return (lvl * base) ** 2 - base ** 2;
}

just adjust the base to match the curve you want (taken from some random stackoverflows)

another question is if the xp is cumulative or if it resets on every level

if its cumulative you may want a much higher curve

[slender thistle]

I agree, Tim is hot

lol this is still just writing code at the end of the day, just not inside an editor. Why not just learn how to write code and pick up a super useful skill while you're at it

how do i send a message in a specific channel when someone votes on my bot? i have tried using the on_dbl_vote but i dident get any outputs when someone voted

[whole surge]

no its not for domain

[whole surge]

Its cuz i was annoyed when all coding community sayed its worthless

and i am not good at designing

yea

k fine

@spark flint I am really so sorry please forgive me for what i did i really didnt meant to hurt your feelings

done!

@sly sierra

[sly sierra]

hes still not gonna give a you domain

was just stating osmething

anywas

#general or smth

[whole surge]

i dont want i know he will not give me

[rose warren]

Are you using djs v13?

[earnest phoenix]

Figured it out myself somewhat

[rose warren]

That's v12 code

[earnest phoenix]

Well I noticed something was wrong when the video was 2020

[rose warren]

You should upgrade to v13 if you haven't yet done so

[earnest phoenix]

Probably have, if not, how so?

[rose warren]

Check your djs package version

[earnest phoenix]

I guess it's like this?

[rose warren]

Yeah that's why then. You're trying to run v12 code on v13.

[earnest phoenix]

Well I'm not surprised that it didn't work

The video was from 2020

[rose warren]

That'd be why then

[earnest phoenix]

What I have done now "works"

[woeful pike]

what's the max amount of servers you can have on an unverified bot again? is it 100 or 75?

[rose warren]

100

Verification is possible at 75

[woeful pike]

ah, that makes sense then. My old bot shows at exactly 100 servers and isn't verified. Thanks

[rose warren]

It's not that hard to re-write that code you posted above for v13.

[earnest phoenix]

I guess this is the problem I have ran into (I had a previous way more simpler more than this)

so I am literally that dumb

even though it powers more than half of the web in total

[earnest phoenix]

turns out you are a lie

[woeful pike]

would rather use php than go

[split hazel]

i was watching a fireship video about go and went "oh this language looks pretty good especially since its compiled!" but once i saw the lua-like if statement without braces i immediately said no

[modest maple]

My man got his priorities right

[modest maple]

Not even that, go's 'simplicity' is also its downfall

[split hazel]

isnt simplicity supposed to be an aim for all modern languages

after all as times goes on coding is supposed to get easier and more powerful

[wheat mesa]

The easier the language the less control over smaller things you have

There’s a lot of room for optimization in js for example, but not nearly as much optimization as would be possible with C++

But maybe there should be a language that offers control over tiny things and allows you to make small optimizations like C++, but allows you to write compact code if you don’t want to optimize

[modest maple]

have i introduced you to

[wheat mesa]

Haven’t really looked much at rust, all I really know about it is that it’s similar to C++

[earnest phoenix]

it was smth like welcome.send{( embeds : [welcm])}

[radiant geode]

who knows how to check the guild scopes on djs v13?

[split hazel]

@green kestrel wont be happy with this statement

[green kestrel]

lol

[green kestrel]

theyre similar only in they loosely share some syntax, in the same way a newcomer who doesnt know either language might say javascript looks like java

the design philisophy of both is completely the opposite

[split hazel]

did you know javascript was inspired by java

fun fact of the day

[green kestrel]

the philisophy of rust is like... um.... imagine you have a self driving car, that is fast, but wont ever break the speed limit, wont let you drive it unless theres an emergency, and will never crash, but you cant push it to its limits

and the philosophy of C++ instead is like a kit car, you made yourself and can do 200mph, but you could crash it horribly

one of them tries to guide you towards its model of "code safety"

the other doesnt get in your way, gives you a hammer and some nails and says "go build house"

😉

@wheat mesa ^

[split hazel]

ironic

[green kestrel]

rust has a pre-parser thingy thats part of the compiler and checks for thread safety and race conditions, illegal memory accesses etc. C++ doesnt care.

C++: "the programmer knows what they are doing"
Rust: "the programmer needs to be brow beaten to do it right"
JavaScript: "HERP derp me make progrum"

sorry couldnt resist 😄

^ both rust and C++ ideals have their flaws. sometimes the programmer does know what theyre doing, but maybe half the time, rust is right and they dont 😄

[split hazel]

no?

[green kestrel]

no he isnt, it was

when js was made, there were only web browser java applets

and they wanted to make something that people who were into making applets could quickly pick up

[split hazel]

java embedded in websites oh dear

didnt browsers drop support for java a few years ago

[green kestrel]

java applets sucked big hairy ones.

it was a horriffic mess

yeah they dropped support for it a loooong time ago

not only were applets bloaty, but every one that wanted to run prompted you with a security cert prompt

they'd take ages to load up

[vivid fulcrum]

oh the good old times when you'd get greeted with you have to install Java Runtime Environment

[green kestrel]

and every week you'd have to update java runtime, like updating flash player

as they were about as secure as a cardboard bank vault

in the end the approach of java applets was just to 'enterprisey' for web dev

too bloated, slow, and not the right tech stack

flash player filled that niche for a long while though

[split hazel]

then html5 killed it

well not initially

though sucks how browsers dont let people choose if they still want to run flash or not

many old game websites host flash games you cant run

java applets is a different story

[vivid fulcrum]

there are flash forks

luckily

[split hazel]

didnt flash hard-code a kill switch which triggers after a specific date

i saw some guy modify the binary to change that date to still be able to run flash

[vivid fulcrum]

https://ruffle.rs/

my bad, it's an emulator

not a fork

[split hazel]

wust

i tried some flash browser extensions but they run only on some games

[green kestrel]

why would you want to? do you also want to run it in IE6 on windows XP? lol

its like asking if you still want to be at risk of catching the plague 😄

[split hazel]

yes

vulnerabilities are overrated

[cinder patio]

Except that rust is as fast as C++ 😛

[split hazel]

you're lucky i wont ping brain for that one

[boreal iron]

[stuck mulch]

Does anybody know how I’d go about showing how many servers my bots in on my website?

[boreal iron]

Save the data in your database frequently and fetch it from you side

[split hazel]

i'd only say do that if you already do that for some other reason

i'd probably just setup a server on the bot side where you can query it for data

[boreal iron]

Well since it's static, irrelevant data about the bots status it can easily be written into a JSON file.

(instead of a database)

And yes, a database only makes sense if you already have one set up.

[azure lark]

how do i find a channel using its name with djs?

ty

how do i set an embeds image to a deleted images image?

[spark flint]

elaborate

profile pic changes etc?

[azure lark]

no,

someone send a picture in a channel, they deleted it, the bot sends an embed with the embeds image being the image that was unsent

[spark flint]

you could save that image and upload to a file storage system etc

on message delete get the image id, save to vps/pc, upload via ftp and get link, delete from vps/pc, log the url

[lament rock]

The baseline is that once the message is deleted, the media can no longer be fetched

so you have to dupe save it elsewhere which is super inefficient and expensive to do

[spark flint]

Another method is on message delete, save attachment locally, resend as new file

So you don’t have to store anywhere

[spark flint]

Cname at root

CNAME flattening allows you to create a CNAME record at the root of your domain without violating RFC's (the rules that govern the Internet).

not even possible in cloudflare

you can flatten all cnames or flatten cname at root

[vast cedar]

Hello,

I would know if it's possible to create a sub-function, like the toLocaleString function.

var number = '45000'

console.log(number.toLocaleString('en-US'))

// 45,000

I want to remove toLocaleString(), and create a new function "format", to do the same thing as toLocaleString but like that number.format() it is possible and if yes how can i do this

[lyric mountain]

var

I don't get why ALL people that appear here for the first time use vars

is it some kind of starterpack?

[lyric mountain]

yes you can, override String.prototype

HOWEVER be warned that modifying it usually lead to VERY grotesque errors

[quartz kindle]

String.prototype.format = function() {
  return this.toLocaleString("en-US");
}

console.log("45000".format()) // 45,000

[boreal iron]

Isn’t there a static var you can set to define the locale?

(in JS)

Wouldn’t that be easier?!

[errant perch]

wasnt user error like i said

i changed nothing

works now

[wheat mesa]

Probably user error regardless

[quartz kindle]

the user error is in allowing the entire process to crash from an issue like this

[wheat mesa]

If your bot crashes then you should catch the error 😛
