development

[spark flint]

Well what members are there to mention

Use a user selector

[bright hornet]

data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('whois')
    .setDescription('To see members information')
    .addUserOption(option => 
        option
        .setName('user')
        .setDescription("Enter who would like you to know their information")
        .setRequired(true)
    ),
    async execute(interaction, client) {
        

        await interaction.channel.send({embeds: [embed]})
    },``` just like this right

[spark flint]

Yeah

[bright hornet]

hmm

how do i show their idendity or

call them

to an embed

[spark flint]

You mean get the user object?

[bright hornet]

yap

[spark flint]

2 secs

[upbeat sleet]

how to i check a people voted or not ?

[bright hornet]

use their api

[upbeat sleet]

howw ???

[spark flint]

interaction.options.getUser('user')

[upbeat sleet]

i am toooo beginer

[spark flint]

https://docs.top.gg

[bright hornet]

https://docs.top.gg/libraries/javascript/

[spark flint]

@bright hornet ^

[bright hornet]

dont need to do .username?

[spark flint]

You need to await it too

[spark flint]

assign to a variable

[bright hornet]

ohh

[spark flint]

Then you can do user.username

Etc

[upbeat sleet]

Hm.....

[earnest phoenix]

It doesn't return a promise btw*

[bright hornet]

var member = interaction.options.getUser('user)```

[spark flint]

Ah

Anyways

That should work

[bright hornet]

ok ill try this shit

[upbeat sleet]

await lib.topgg.get.user.voted.or.not?({
user : toast
});

quite nice XD

[spark flint]

Alrighty

[bright hornet]

why slash is way more diff to command handler

like damn

[lyric mountain]

Forget var please

[spark flint]

what

[bright hornet]

wait why

[upbeat sleet]

hm..nice

[lyric mountain]

Long story short, var is hoisted and causes way more issues than necessary

[bright hornet]

oh

[lyric mountain]

If u want the full list of reasons give it a search

[bright hornet]

const then

[lyric mountain]

Let

Const is constant

[bright hornet]

llet

let

[craggy pine]

let = you can reassign it
const = it stays as it is

[bright hornet]

oh

thanks for info

[lyric mountain]

dw, I see people using var here all the time

[craggy pine]

const thing = "hi"
thing = "bye"
//error

let thing = "hi"
thing = "bye"
console.log(thing)
//"bye"

[lyric mountain]

most come from very old tutorials that still used var

[craggy pine]

It is rather surprising that var was used as much. Was let / const not a thing

lol

[lyric mountain]

let is a quite new thing

[craggy pine]

Oh interesting

[lyric mountain]

and a privilege devs that support IE can't afford to have

luckily for them, IE support is bound to die this year

[earnest phoenix]

In the old versions of JavaScript, only the var keyword existed to declare variables, and the strict equality operators (===/!==) didn't even exist

[bright hornet]

interaction.member.roles.cache.size``` this is how can i get their roles right

[quartz kindle]

another difference is that let/const is block scoped, while var is function scoped```js
var x = 10;
if(something) {
var x = 20;
}
console.log(x) // 20

let y = 10;
if(something) {
let y = 20;
}
console.log(y) // 10

[craggy pine]

That's "size"

as in. You'll get the total # of roles they have (if that code is even correct I never messed with slash commands yet)

[bright hornet]

damn

[craggy pine]

.addField(`Roles [${guildUser.roles.cache.map(r => r).length}]`, guildUser.roles.cache.map(r => r).join(" "), false)

how I atleast display roles in an embed

[lyric mountain]

as weird as it seems, I feel var being hoisted comes from VERY old way of programming where you declared variables on the beginning

that's the reason ye?

[bright hornet]

const member = interaction.options.getUser('user')

const member = message.mentions.members.first()``` how this is so diff

[craggy pine]

Different stuff entirely

[quartz kindle]

i guess it was a very early attempt at supporting some kind of static analysis

[lyric mountain]

like ```js
function aFunction() {
var a, b;

a = 10;
b = 5;

console.log(a * b);
}

[quartz kindle]

yeah

considering js copied much of its syntax from c langs

[bright hornet]

understandable^

[lyric mountain]

I suffer that pain everyday with delphi

sucks not being able to declare a var anywhere other than the head of a function/class

[quartz kindle]

delphi requires all vars to be declared beforehand at the top?

[lyric mountain]

ye

[craggy pine]

yikes

[earnest phoenix]

These differences wouldn't even have existed mostly if Discord staff implemented slash-commands a long time ago, which they planned to implement at the very start (6 years ago) and they're being implemented now

[bright hornet]

6 years?

[lyric mountain]

iirc they added support for in-code variable declaration on newer updates

but we wont be updating delphi in the foreseeable future

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[lyric mountain]

why? look at how much it costs to update

yes, you also have to pay for bug fixes

yes, the IDE crashes and freezes all the time for absolutely no reason (like pressing ctrl + space)

[earnest phoenix]

Do people even use Delphi anymore

[lyric mountain]

sad brazil reality

oh, and did I mention that you dont get database components unless you purchase the second package (there are 3 packages)?

because who would need databases anyway /s

[earnest phoenix]

Sounds like EA to me

[feral aspen]

Is there a link I can check out Discord.JS V14?

[lyric mountain]

isn't it still nightly?

[earnest phoenix]

https://deploy-preview-1011--discordjs-guide.netlify.app/additional-info/changes-in-v14.html

[feral aspen]

Pardon?

[earnest phoenix]

Those are the changes, if you want to use the v14 early, you just install the development version by running

$ npm i discord.js@dev

[feral aspen]

Would you do that?

[lyric mountain]

using nigthly branches is risky

[feral aspen]

I'm afraid I don't understand what nightly means.

[lyric mountain]

everything could change from one commit to another

well, how could I explain?

basically an in-dev version

[feral aspen]

Ohh. Makes sense.

[lyric mountain]

still-hot bread

[earnest phoenix]

I don't recommend using the development/beta/alpha/nightly branches since they ship the newest code without any consideration or security checkups and breakage checks

[lyric mountain]

also they almost always lack any meaningful documentation

[earnest phoenix]

And they're meant for testing, not production ready projects

[feral aspen]

This part annoys me.

It's supposed to be an array of objects.

[real rose]

i second this,

[bright hornet]

const user = interaction.options.getUser('user')
        
        const embed = new MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle(`Informations`)
        .addField(`Member:`, `${user.username}`, true)
        .addField(`Roles:`, `${interaction.user.roles.cache.size}`, true)
        .addField(`Role Names:`, `${interaction.user.roles.cache.map(r => r).join(" ")}`, false)
        .addField(`Joined At:`, `${moment(user.joinedAt).format('ddd, MMM Do, YYYY, h:mm a')}`, true)
        .addField(`Created At:`, `${moment(user.joinedAt).format('ddd, MMM Do, YYYY, h:mm a')}`, true)
        .setColor('RANDOM')
        .setTimestamp()

        await interaction.channel.send({embeds: [embed]})``` so after doing this, if i ping someone, it shows the role to me not in the member that i pinged

[feral aspen]

shows the role to me, what do you mean?

[lyric mountain]

.map(r => r) why

[neat ingot]

it can be?

[craggy pine]

he def tried my code out

[feral aspen]

It makes no sense.

[bright hornet]

my role is 7 roles, i pinged the other members only 2 but it shows mine

[bright hornet]

yep

need to see the codes with this slash command

[feral aspen]

It shows your roles instead of the user's roles?

[bright hornet]

ya

[earnest phoenix]

interaction.user refers to the user who invoke the interaction

[feral aspen]

You're getting the roles of the user who performed the interaction.

[craggy pine]

since its my code, i did that bec that's what I found on stack overflow a millions years ago and never bothered to make it better. It works

[neat ingot]

why does it make no sense?

[bright hornet]

ohhh

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/lTgeL.png

[feral aspen]

You pass in an array of objects, and Discord.JS, in backend, should loop through that array and handle the rest, why not keep it that way?

[neat ingot]

it does tho...

[feral aspen]

I don't see an array?

[feral aspen]

This is v13?

[bright hornet]

if i dont add the interaction gonna get the eroror

[neat ingot]

i think so, says stable on the site 😄

[bright hornet]

eroror

[earnest phoenix]

Since you're getting role info and all that, you should use getMember() instead, it returns the guild member instance of the user, which you can also access the user's details from the <GuildMember>.user property

[feral aspen]

I'm talking about V14. :)

[lyric mountain]

oh js has varargs

[neat ingot]

when did that drop? lol

[feral aspen]

How does that work?

[lyric mountain]

basically an open array

[bright hornet]

can u give some example?

[earnest phoenix]

Even if that's removed, you can just addFields(...embeds)

[lyric mountain]

you don't need to declare explicitly an array, you just write whatever would go inside it

the fucntion itself can grab the values as an array normally

[bright hornet]

since interaction only define who use the command

[feral aspen]

Why not pass in an array to the argument and discord.js use the array instead of grabbing the values and putting them into an array?

[bright hornet]

how about for the members :

[lyric mountain]

function aFunction(...args) {
  for (a of args) {
    console.log(a)
  }
}

aFunction(1, "a", {}, 10)
aFunction(2, "b")
aFunction(3)

I use it all the time on java, didn't know it was a thing in js too

[feral aspen]

Yup, that's possible.

[neat ingot]

👀 really? i thought that was super common lol

[feral aspen]

The rest parameter, I believe it's called.

[lyric mountain]

we call it varargs in java

[feral aspen]

Rest Parameter in JS. :)

[neat ingot]

you also dont need to declare '...args' and can access the arguments property within a function, buts its not quite the same an the array you get from using ...args

[earnest phoenix]

An example

// Get the guild member instance of the user.
const member = interaction.options.getMember('user');

// Username.
console.log(member.user.username);
// Roles.
console.log(member.roles.cache);
// User flags
console.log(member.user.flags);

[quartz kindle]

yes, all functions have a hidden arguments variable available in its scope

[feral aspen]

You don't need to us it unless for some certain reasons.

Not sure when, though, and at what cases?

[quartz kindle]

one case is checking how many params were given to the function

a(1,2,3,4,5,6) { console.log(arguments.length) }

[feral aspen]

Well args.length?

[feral aspen]

In terms to this function.

[lyric mountain]

varargs don't require to be alone

function aFunction(param1, param2, ...args)

[feral aspen]

Indeed.

[earnest phoenix]

If you want to check the amount of arguments passed to the rest parameter, although that's not recommended if you don't want to actually use rest parameters, so that's when the arguments internal scope slot comes into play

[feral aspen]

OHH, this is the perfect example, indeed.

[quartz kindle]

there are a few use cases on the mdn page

[feral aspen]

arguments and the args.length return the same value unless you have more parameters with the rest parameter, and that's when the arguements internal scope comes handy. args is for the function above from KuuHaKu.

[neat ingot]

^ another use case

[bright hornet]

ohhhh

[quartz kindle]

for example ```js
function myConcat(separator) {
let args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
return args.join(separator);
}
myConcat('. ', 'sage', 'basil', 'oregano', 'pepper', 'parsley');

[neat ingot]

but thats different from the actual functions arugments i guess 😄

[bright hornet]

.getMember and .getUser for slash commands

[neat ingot]

more just a destructuring example

[quartz kindle]

but yes, pretty much everything you can do with arguments, you can also do with the spread operator

[earnest phoenix]

Exactly what I said, you don't need to use an additional rest parameter just to check for that unless you actually want to check the length of the rest parameters passed, the another thing considered with it is the function length

Rest parameters can modify the length of the function while the arguments internal scope slot doesn't, which was a fatal case in older browsers but I'm sure that was patched by someone in the team

[feral aspen]

Yup, exactly.

[lyric mountain]

things get funny when u want to pass an actual array as a param

[bright hornet]

const member = interaction.options.getMember('user')``` in here, i should focus on ```js
.getMember('user')``` whatever in the `option .setName('')`?

[earnest phoenix]

It should be the same name as the user option's name, it just gets the guild member instance of that user instead of just returning the user

[bright hornet]

why this happened?

[lyric mountain]

you didn't ack

[bright hornet]

ha?

[earnest phoenix]

You only have 3 seconds to respond to an interaction before it expires, if you need to respond after 3 seconds, you need to defer the response

[neat ingot]

a 2 minute delay in command reply?

for real? 😄

[earnest phoenix]

YandereDev Simulator

[bright hornet]

interaction.deferReply()?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[lyric mountain]

you should focus on why it took 2 min tho

[bright hornet]

where should i put it? on interactionCreate event? or in the command.js?

[earnest phoenix]

Either their bot host is pretty shitty or they're sorting a ton of shit in that command or something

[bright hornet]

brah

[spark flint]

Id recommend Discord time stamps for join and create dates

[neat ingot]

if you deferReply, you need to use editReply instead of reply when responding

[bright hornet]

oh i see

[bright hornet]

The reply to this interaction has already been sent or deferred.```

[neat ingot]

dunno what to tell you there

as long as you defer once, and edit reply after that you should be fine

[bright hornet]

aaaaaaaa

seems like this .joinedAt and .createdAt got idk

[boreal iron]

Aye use timestamps
Can’t be easier to read tho 1647831025

[livid lichen]

If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.
https://cdn.ch1ll.tk/r/invalid_perms_discord.png

Found the error, it was the Start Activities perm.

[neat ingot]

I like that rgb background 🙂

[livid lichen]

Thank you, lmao.

I love ShareX 😎

[livid arrow]

can anyone tell me approximately what specifications I may need to host a bot with over 200 servers (5k members on average) which will run the bot smoothly without any lags. Also Note: I'll be using flask. Thanks In advance

[wheat mesa]

We don’t know what your bot does

Or what it caches

[livid lichen]

^

[livid arrow]

economy, leveling, moderation, integration of social media APIs

[wheat mesa]

Again, that doesn’t provide too much detail on what specs you’ll need

What does your bot cache? Do you run in memory databases? Do you do any intensive calculations? Etc

[neat ingot]

i mean, as long as you have around 2gb ram and not running a potato, your bot should be fine for that number of guilds unless your doing obscene things with your cache

[wheat mesa]

It’s difficult for someone to estimate specs without looking at your specific implementation

[livid arrow]

I don't need any intensive calculations. Yeah, I use databases

[livid lichen]

Be more specific on the database.

[livid arrow]

actually you don't need to be specific, just a quiet idea would be enough

[quartz kindle]

start with 1gb ram 1 core and continue from there

[livid lichen]

If you're using a database known to be resource intensive, that could also need more ram.

[wheat mesa]

There’s always the handy testing method

[quartz kindle]

like mongoliadb

[livid lichen]

I use mongoDB and redis. Both are not that resource heavy.

[livid arrow]

yeah, mainly I need database for the economy but I'll also need to store social Oauth keys

[quartz kindle]

well mongoliadb uses a certain % of your system's max ram by default

so it can be more resource intensive than others, depending on the configuration

[livid arrow]

hmm understood, Thanks is there any good hosts that is cheap and accepts crypto :))

[wheat mesa]

I don’t think there’s many hosts out there that accept crypto

Never heard of one that does, but I don’t know many hosts

[livid arrow]

umm I saw some but can you tell me what's the cheapest price I can have?

so that I can compare

[wheat mesa]

I’m not sure about the cheapest hosts, especially for accepting crypto, but generally speaking you get what you pay for

most hosts that claim to be cheap also use less powerful hardware

[livid arrow]

Mainly I need a python hosting. I'll need to use flask and connect my domain to use the Oauth callbacks.

so, will also need a good bandwidth for the site

I have a shared hosting but it has gcc disabled. so, not being able to use it for hosting the bot primarily

[wheat mesa]

gcc is required for python? Interesting

[livid arrow]

to install the python version of discord module

and other modules which requires that

[wheat mesa]

I suppose node-gyp is a similar way, makes sense

[sweet python]

Is there a top.gg npm module

Like when someone votes your bot it shows up in a channel

[wheat mesa]

There is a nodejs top.gg api wrapper

[sweet python]

Could I get a link to it

[livid arrow]

just search on "npmjs.com/package/" ez

dunnu if it's allowed to share links, so yeah, search manually 🙆‍♂️

[dry imp]

you're allowed

if someone asks for it, you are allowed to give them the link

[quartz kindle]

about 3 usd for 1gb ram 1 cpu

[neat ingot]

contabo vps is super cheap:

[quartz kindle]

if you dont mind slow disks, yes contabo is unbeatable, nothing else comes even close

[neat ingot]

they offer nvme now which is nice 🙂

i think i only have ssd, and never had any issue with read/write speeds

[quartz kindle]

last time i saw someone benchmark it, they were still slow

[neat ingot]

could be yea, i remember checking the hardware when i first signed up and it was a little older than i'd have liked

[quartz kindle]

its usually not a problem since most programs wont be doing lots of reading and writing from disk

[neat ingot]

easy to reduce writes as well if you cache temporarily... but i wont start that again lol

I was getting flamed the other day cause i cache my active db items for a minute before saving 😄

[quartz kindle]

im running a full text search based on grep lol

[neat ingot]

like, regexp?

oh, grep is a command line utility? i've never used it before 😄

[quartz kindle]

ye, its used to find lines in a text file

[neat ingot]

this is for parsing your astronomy datasets? 😄

[livid arrow]

thanks ig 1gb ram and 1 cpu is enough for early stage

[quartz kindle]

sort of yes lel

i have a huge list of keywords and names that can be searched for, but i didnt find any tokenizer that was good enough

grep still gives me the best matches

[neat ingot]

this is not usable https://github.com/timotejroiko/ftset ?

[quartz kindle]

i did use it a first, but since its inside the program, its also blocking and limited to 1 thread

grep can be multithreaded if searching through multiple files

[neat ingot]

ahhh ok ok, so your outsourcing it 😄

[quartz kindle]

and its non blocking to the progam

ftset is faster to search in a single file

but grep is faster for multiple files

[neat ingot]

how many files are there?

[quartz kindle]

about 8 or 9

[neat ingot]

ahh ok, so how much faster is it to use 'native' grepping?

[quartz kindle]

well, with ftset i was getting anywhere from 10ms to 50ms per query

with grep im getting an average of 10-20ms

im caching all queries tho, so they will only actually grep once

after its cached is < 1ms

[neat ingot]

is that heavy on the rams?

[quartz kindle]

we'll see, is not running in prod yet

im using lmdb for cache

[neat ingot]

the movie website?

[quartz kindle]

lmao

LMDB

[neat ingot]

ahh ok, so a lightweight key->value storage

[quartz kindle]

ye

[livid arrow]

can you give me the website link :)

[neat ingot]

I wonder how my cache system compares to others

[quartz kindle]

lmdb is kinda like redis but embedded like sqlite

[neat ingot]

ohhh, so its a recoverable cache too? like, in between boots?

[quartz kindle]

ye it has persistence

[neat ingot]

nice! thats a thing i did not bother with as I'm mostly cacheing mongodb objects 😄

[quartz kindle]

galaxygate.net

[neat ingot]

my brains hit a complete dead end for what to do to improve this more 😭

[livid arrow]

thanks again 😄

[quartz kindle]

labels would be nice, or do you have placeholder labels instead?

[vast cedar]

Does someone know why Structures.extend return undefined on v13 ?

[quartz kindle]

because it was removed in v13

[neat ingot]

yea it has placeholder type labels

and tooltips

[quartz kindle]

nice

[vast cedar]

Oh so i should use prototypes or is there something else ?

[neat ingot]

I was going to stop writing it and just use the Discord RPC Maker app someone linked when I first showed it, but eh, theres no fun in that 😄

I also needed to poll an api for json data for like, players and server counts

[quartz kindle]

yes, you can try using prototypes

[vast cedar]

Okay thanks :)

[sweet python]

dope

[ripe heron]

i get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord.ext.commands.bot'```
I just ran import topgg

[dry imp]

welp

that is topggpy?

[bright thorn]

How much player we can connect from lavalink for my bot?

any idea

[bright hornet]

how do i get the random data in here? seems doing this js .then((res) => { const embed = new MessageEmbed() .setTitle(res.data[0].name) .setImage(res.data[0].image.url) .addField(`Weight:`, `${res.data[0].weight.imperial}`, true) .addField(`Height:`, `${res.data[0].height.imperial}`, true) .addField(`Bred for:`, `${res.data[0].bred_for}`, true) .addField(`Breed Group`, `${res.data[0].breed_group}`, true) .addField(`Life Span:`, `${res.data[0].life_span}`, true) .addField(`Origin:`, `${res.data[0].origin}`, true) .setColor('RANDOM') .setTimestamp() message.channel.send({embeds: [embed]}) }) only focus on the first data

nvm

fixed

[heavy marsh]

In d.js v13 is there a way to get the number of voice channels the client is playing on

[bright hornet]

how can i make this emoji?

[slender thistle]

Any of your files named as discord?

[ripe heron]

Nope

[bright flame]

okay so i want my bot to have time when the message is sent by the user in any channel in epoch format, for python

how can i do this?

[neat ingot]

< : HOUSE_BRILLIANCE : 735339675102871642 >

^ that, but no spaces

oh, that ones slightly different actually, my bad 😦

[dry imp]

thats topggpy right?

[ripe heron]

yes but I fixed it

[dry imp]

you use pycord?

[ripe heron]

at first yes, but I switched to discord.py

[dry imp]

owh okay, i guess the problem occur because topggpy needs d.py 1.7.3 dependancy that may cause error for people who uses pycord since they use the same import name, thats why for pycord you must install it using --no-deps

[near stratus]

idk what epoch is (Google says some archaeological stuff)
but anyway just use unix timestamp and let discord format it

For reference: https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-timestamp-styles

[dry imp]

try using message.created_at.timestamp() * 1000

[rocky dagger]

im trying to run nodemon but i just geet this error here how can i fix it? nodemon : File C:\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemon.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Pol icies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

[near stratus]

Run powershell as admin
then run ```ps
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[rocky dagger]

thanks

[civic scroll]

you use index 0 to access items

you can randomize the indexies

[analog tinsel]

how i can add my website as bot description? i forgot website that converts

[vast cedar]

Wdym by bot description ?

About Me ? If yes it's on the developer portal

[earnest phoenix]

If you're talking about Top.gg bot page's long description, you can use the iframe tags, if you're talking about the bot's about me section, all you can do is to add a link to your website to it from the Discord developer portal

[analog tinsel]

yeah iframe is answer thanks

[simple stump]

How do I get the duration of an mp3 file? I’ve tried reading the metadata, used different libraries (mp3-duration, music-metadata, etc.) but they all return different values than the actual duration. I essentially download an mp3 file using node-fetch or axios and store it locally, then read the file and stream it using Discord’s @discordjs/voice. I’m attempting to get the duration of the file and display the total time of what is being played, but when trying to get such duration it always returns the wrong output.

[wheat mesa]

Don’t quote me on this because I’m not sure entirely, but the buffer length is probably directly related with how long the song is

[quartz kindle]

ffmpeg can do that

also, where are you downloading the mp3 from?

audio files can be of bad quality and contain garbage data

[wheat mesa]

Yeah, I just looked at the code for some duration packages, and they use ffmpeg internally

[feral aspen]

[earnest phoenix]

https://npmjs.com/package/get-mp3-duration

[wheat mesa]

https://github.com/caffco/get-audio-duration/blob/main/src/index.ts seems pretty simple to do yourself if you wanted to reduce dependencies as well

[scarlet rune]

This error makes no sense

[wheat mesa]

Are you sure that line 40 doesn’t have spaces instead of a tab? I don’t use python, not so sure

[feral aspen]

That looks like spaces to me.

[wheat mesa]

“Python is a good beginner language”

Errors when you misindent your code

[earnest phoenix]

[scarlet rune]

No but I’m intending it

[wheat mesa]

I’m going to trust the python interpreter on this one

And say that you’re doing SOMETHING wrong

[woeful pike]

did you make sure to enable indents for ur bot bro

[feral aspen]

What?

[last tapir]

its all because of that damn phone of urs

[ancient nova]

guys I'm trying to do a function that outputs 2 results

for example

return 1,"hello"

and if I do

thatFunction[0] it would return 1
and if I did [1] it would return "hello"

would that be possible to do?

[feral aspen]

Uhh, sure.

const values = [1, "hello"];
console.log(values[0]); // 1
console.log(values[1]); // "hello"

[ancient nova]

I figured an array would do it

[feral aspen]

Indeed, that would work.

[ancient nova]

is there a way to do it without an array though?

[neat ingot]

function athing() {
    return {a:1, b:2};
}
athing().a
athing().b

function otherthing() {
    return [1, 2];
}
otherthing()[0]
otherthing()[1]

[feral aspen]

Can you eat an apple without eating it?

[ancient nova]

that actually works?

[neat ingot]

your just returning an object, or an array, and then using that data

[feral aspen]

Dude, why all of this. 😂

[ancient nova]

let me test

[neat ingot]

idk, why not 😄

[ancient nova]

huh that actually works

[neat ingot]

yup, but you should do the function call and store the value before referencing its properties, eg:

const mything = athing();
mything.a```

[feral aspen]

const athing = () => ({ a: 1, b: 2 });

athing().a
athing().b

const otherthing = () => [1, 2];

otherthing()[0]
otherthing()[1]

This is better. ES6 Moment

[ancient nova]

to extract the values you'd usually have to do

function().then((0, 1) => {
return 0,1;
} no?

cause if I do them separately and call the function two times

otherthing()[0]
otherthing()[1]

like so it will give two different results

[feral aspen]

I'm not sure why you would not want to use the simpler way.

[neat ingot]

why not

const athing = ()=> ({a:1, b:2});
const {a, b} = athing();
``` ?

[ancient nova]

my thing isn't a constant function

[feral aspen]

Dude, you're basically using a value of an object you defined in a function, use the simpler way.

[wheat mesa]

.then is only for async function callbacks

[neat ingot]

hey, you wanted to 'es6-ify' it 😄

[wheat mesa]

You can return an object

That’s the easiest way

[ancient nova]

it is an async function

[ancient nova]

it would only return one value

[wheat mesa]

I was unaware, but even then you don’t want to fall into .then callbacks

I’m confused

I thought you wanted multiple values

[ancient nova]

okay let me explain what I'm doing so you guys can understand

basically I have a function

[wheat mesa]

If you want to return more than one value in a function you generally want to use objects for that

[neat ingot]

everything is javascript is an object. it doesnt matter if you return a value, a string, an object, an array, its all only relevant to how you handle those returned values.

if you want to return an object, do it, then handle that object

[wheat mesa]

Let’s try to not be confusing about semantics right now :p

[quartz kindle]

how about doing it the C way? ```js
function something(return1, return2) {
return1.value = 10;
return2.value = 20;
}

const return1 = { value: null }
const return2 = { value: null }
something(return1, return2);
console.log(return1.value) // 10
console.log(return2.value) // 20

[ancient nova]

const certainFunction = function (something, something2) {
//do stuff with something and something 2
return {result:something, result2:something2};
//return them
}

and then somewhere else in the code I call the certainFunction
certainFunction(input, input1);
I want to be able to call that function and get both of the outputs out of it, by your guys example I figured it would be like so
const {result, result2} = certainFunction(input, input1);
and I want them both because I want to use them in a switch case like so:

switch (result) {
case "modified-something-here":
//rest of the code
conssole.log(result2);
break;

@wheat mesa @neat ingot

apologies for taking so long

[neat ingot]

that was hilarious!

[ancient nova]

yep this might be alright too

[neat ingot]

omg im dying lol

[ancient nova]

so would my example above work correctly?

[quartz kindle]

depends on a few things

is something and something2 a primitive? like number, string, etc? or are they objects/arrays?

[ancient nova]

both are strings

[neat ingot]

i think that looks right

[quartz kindle]

ok, so they will not be accidentally modified by your function

[ancient nova]

however the something is classified and second is an object that a string is later passed onto

[earnest phoenix]

I'll forever do it this way from now on

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

The good ol mutable object reference method

[ancient nova]

is that a problem? :/

I haven't tested it yet let me see if that works

[quartz kindle]

i was laughing at mistyy

[ancient nova]

scared me lol

[neat ingot]

if they are unmodified, why do you need to send them to the function to begin with?

[ancient nova]

they are, the function modifies them and returns them to be used in another function, basically

[quartz kindle]

well, the originals are not modified

it will return new copies of them

[earnest phoenix]

They are just not explicitly done so tim

He made a comment saying to do something with something and something2

[ancient nova]

TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'result' of function()

hmm

[neat ingot]

did you await your function? its async right?

else its trying to destructure a promise

[ancient nova]

it's an async but I forgot to await it

[feral aspen]

Damn, what. 😂

[earnest phoenix]

I don't think await here would even matter it'd just return something anyway just probably not what they want

[feral aspen]

What's the benefit from that?

[neat ingot]

explicit behaviour 😄

[quartz kindle]

nothing really, its just a way of doing things. in C/C++ its often done that way

[earnest phoenix]

C is al lang from old times there is no benefit to most of how things have to be done in C

[quartz kindle]

but since in js you cant have references to primitives, you have to put them inside an object

[ancient nova]

Failed: FATAL ERROR HAD OCCURED
Reason: TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'result' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined.

that's a problem

[feral aspen]

It's the most unnecessary long code which can be shortened.

[quartz kindle]

i've worked with an old C lib from the 90s that returns 3 different values, one as the actual return value, and two in referenced args

[feral aspen]

Unless there are benefits from doing it in that long way, then I take it back.

[quartz kindle]

the same lib also has functions that you need to pass an array to, and the function will add all the results inside the array you gave it

instead of returning an array with the values

[ancient nova]

I'll try fixing that myself then

[feral aspen]

Wait, really?

You're talking about C from the 90s?

[quartz kindle]

ye

[feral aspen]

How's that possible, where is the final value stored?

[quartz kindle]

in the array

like this

const result = [];
something(result);
console.log(result)

[neat ingot]

async function athing(input1, input2) {
    return {
        result1: `${input1}-success`,
        result2: `${input2}-success`,
    }
}
const {result1, result2} = await athing('test', 'result');
console.log(result1, result2);

as long as your doing something like this, there should be no issue.

[quartz kindle]

the actual return value of the function is a flag indicating if the function was successful or failed

so it works like this

[feral aspen]

OHH.. instead of returning the value from the function, it stores it in the array you passed, damn.

[feral aspen]

Same as this, like you said.

[quartz kindle]

const result = [];
const status = something(result);
if(status === 1) {
  console.log(result)
} else {
  throw error
}

[neat ingot]

libs like that are a pain imo

[quartz kindle]

it often also has an output error string in a separate arg

like this

[feral aspen]

Hard to understand and comprehend, and can get confusing when knowing multiple languages.

[quartz kindle]

const result = [];
const error = "";
const status = something(input, result, error);
if(status === 1) {
  console.log(result)
} else {
  throw error
}

ofc that doesnt work in js

but thats pretty standard in many C libs

[feral aspen]

input?

What's the value of that?

Is it like arguments?

[quartz kindle]

like whatever the function actually uses as an arg

[feral aspen]

Oh, fair enough.

[quartz kindle]

let me show the actual c code

[feral aspen]

Go ahead.

[ancient nova]

would passing one argument and outputting 2 be problem?

[quartz kindle]

xx is an array of length 6

serr is an error string

[hushed patrol]

i have this in djs

const options = message.guild.channels.cache.map((channel) => ({ label: channel.name, value: channel.id })); ```
 but idk how to make a select element in html and forEach select option it's label is the channel name and value is the channel id(im trying to make a discord bot dashboard and need help assigning the options of a channel select dropdown to the contents of a variable)

[quartz kindle]

if flag returns ok, its safe use use xx, otherwise the error will be written in serr

[feral aspen]

Goodness.

[quartz kindle]

info is the input vars

[neat ingot]

the arguments you pass, and the values you return are near irrelevant compared to how you handle/process the data.

[ancient nova]

that's great, however somehow, somewhat it doesn't work even though I've done everything correctly

[quartz kindle]

didnt we already solve this some time ago?

[hushed patrol]

i dont think

[feral aspen]

What's the difference between int32, int64, double, integer and maybe there are else.

[quartz kindle]

i even showed you the ejs code

[hushed patrol]

we didnt solve the select tho

[neat ingot]

in short: the size that the value can be

[hushed patrol]

wait

leme see

ah

[quartz kindle]

int32 = 32 bit signed integer
uint32 = 32 bit unsigned integer
***64 same thing but 64 bits
double = double precision number (aka numbers with decimals)

[ancient nova]

do you know why it might not work then?

[hushed patrol]

this ig

[ancient nova]

Cannot destructure property 'result' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined.

[neat ingot]

not a clue im afraid 😦

[ancient nova]

that's really weird

I'm 100% it's defined

[quartz kindle]

you will need to show some code

[ancient nova]

it's exactly as you typed it above

[quartz kindle]

int32 is the same as int
int64 is the same as long long int
uint32 is the same as unsigned int

[quartz kindle]

you will need to show some of your actual code

[feral aspen]

Ohh.. thanks!

[neat ingot]

I love how folks always hoarde their code like its golddust 😄

[simple stump]

I'm sorta confused as to why I can't access the duration object. I have this JSON object:

{
  format: {
    randomStuffIdk: "asdfasdfasfasdf",
    duration: 34.207800453514736
  },
  otherThings: {
    asdfasdfasdfasdfd: "asdfasdfasdf"
  }
}

But for some reason, I can't access format.duration as it returns undefined.

let meta = await mm.parseFile(`./handlers/voice/music/${title}`);
let metadata = util.inspect(meta, { showHidden: false, depth: null }); // Returns the JSON object above
console.log(metadata);
console.log(metadata.format); // Undefined

let duration = metadata.format.duration;
console.log(duration); // Undefined

[ancient nova]

const function(_input){
//code
if (result == 200) {
return {
result: "success",
input: _input;
};
}
if (result == 200) {
return "error";
}
return {
result: "failure",
input: _input;
};
}

and am calling that using
const statusResult = function(input);
statusResult.result and .input
I also tried doing the await
const {result,input} = await function(input);
but that also didn't work @quartz kindle

I shortened it as much as I could

[neat ingot]

your structure cannot be like that, as this works fine:

let metadata = {
    format: {
      randomStuffIdk: "asdfasdfasfasdf",
      duration: 34.207800453514736
    },
    otherThings: {
      asdfasdfasdfasdfd: "asdfasdfasdf"
    }
}
console.log(metadata); // The JSON thing above.
console.log(metadata.format); // <works
let duration = metadata.format.duration;
console.log(duration); // < works

[neat ingot]

if (result == 200) {
return "error";
}```

this is not an object containing the properties you are trying to destructure

[ancient nova]

so even if that part doesn't execute it has to have the correct syntax?

[neat ingot]

you also have ; instead of , in your return objects

i didnt notice there was a duplicate if statement for that status lol

[ancient nova]

yeah sorry I was kinda hurrying with the copy pasting lol

the ; is only to finish the statement

[simple stump]

Unfortunately the JSON data is what is returned from the library I'm using

[ancient nova]

is that a problem?

[quartz kindle]

well, thats what happens when you dont want to show your actual code, we end up fixing the problems with the example code you show instead of the actual problems with your actual code

[simple stump]

I didn't write the JSON, it's just what is returned..

[ancient nova]

I can't it's wayy to big

[neat ingot]

function functionname(_input){
    //code
    if (result == 200) {
        return {
            result: "success",
            input: _input,
        };
    }
    return {
        result: "failure",
        input: _input,
    };
}```

const function is not valid syntax

[earnest phoenix]

The util.inspect() method returns a string, not an object

[quartz kindle]

which also means the actual problem can be anywhere else instead of the parts you're showing

[simple stump]

Oh whoops. My bad. Thank you

[earnest phoenix]

Use JSON.parse() instead

[ancient nova]

I use contant functions
const something = function() {
}

I feel like I should've stated that before

could that be the issue? 0_0

[quartz kindle]

no

[neat ingot]

ok, well, please, when sharing code your 'having issues with', please show the actual code, not some half whipped up filled with errors example.

sorry to be blunt 😘

[quartz kindle]

why not just put it in pastebin or something

pretty sure there are pastebin variants out there that support password protection and auto-deletion after 5min and shit like that

if you're that worried about your code

[neat ingot]

i worry about my code sometimes... then i remember i plagarized every line from some tutorial somewhere, and that makes me feel better as a human 🙂

[ancient nova]

nah it's not that

let me post it all

hold on I just gotta short it to message limit

[quartz kindle]

just paste bin it

@_@

[ancient nova]

it's fineeeeee

gimme a sec

[neat ingot]

any other vital options an app might need?

[ancient nova]

const getWorkingWebStatus = function (website) {
    req(website, (error, res, body) => {

        if (res.statusCode == 200) {
            return {
                result: "success",
                input: `${website}`
            }
        }
        if (res.statusCode == 429) {
            return {
                result: "error",
                input: `${website}`
            }
        }
        return {
            result: "failure",
            input: `${website}`
        }
    });
};


const statusResult = await getWorkingWebStatus("http://google.com/");

switch (statusResult.result) {
    case "success":
        console.log(`${statusResult.input} is WORKING!`);
        break;
    case "error":
        console.log(`ERROR occurred!`);
        break;
    case "failure":
        console.log(`${statusResult.input} is NOT WORKING!`);
        break;
}
``` @quartz kindle

[lyric mountain]

tim suggesting pastebin tsk tsk

[quartz kindle]

well thats the problem

[ancient nova]

basically every bunch of code that matters is here

[quartz kindle]

your function returns undefined

[ancient nova]

HWAT?

[quartz kindle]

you return inside the req callback

[neat ingot]

^ this

you are not returning anything, and performing a request

[earnest phoenix]

Use a promise to resolve the said value

[lyric mountain]

also I'd check for status family not for exact statuses

[ancient nova]

that's an issue? I'm not returning anything related to res output?

[quartz kindle]

its not returning anything period

your function is basically doing this:

[earnest phoenix]

new Promise((resolve) => {
  req(..., (...) => {
    ...

    resolve(...);
  });
});

[ancient nova]

it's an await function I don't have to resolve it

[quartz kindle]

const getWorkingWebStatus = function (website) {
    req(website, (error, res, body) => {}) // initiate a requst and return undefined
}

all your function does is initiate a request

it does not wait for it

it immediately returns

[ancient nova]

oh...

[earnest phoenix]

You're requesting a value from a callback, if you want it, you must use a promise to resolve the value

[lyric mountain]

res.toString().startsWith("4")

something like that

[ancient nova]

I'm confused, then what am I exactly supposed to do? take the callback out of the promise?

[quartz kindle]

you need to "promisify the callback"

like voltrex showed

[neat ingot]

const getWorkingWebStatus = function (website) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
        req(website, (error, res, body) => {
            if (res.statusCode == 200) {
                resolve({
                    result: "success",
                    input: `${website}`
                })
            }
            if (res.statusCode == 429) {
                resolve({
                    result: "error",
                    input: `${website}`
                })
            }
            resolve({
                result: "failure",
                input: `${website}`
            })
        });
    });
};

not to spoon feed. but that is what your function could look like

[earnest phoenix]

You can either return the promise and resolve the value from the callback, or additionally promisify it for later use by using the util.promisify() method

[quartz kindle]

function something() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    doSomethingWIthCallBack(callback => {
      resolve(callback)
    })
  })
}

[ancient nova]

so having async doesn't matter?

I still have to resolve it?

[quartz kindle]

when you return a Promise, your function automaticaly becomes an async function that returns whatever the promise resovles

[neat ingot]

i think you are misunderstanding which parts of your code are async and which arent

[quartz kindle]

no, async only works if the thing is already using promises

callbacks are not promises

callbacks existed way before promises did

[ancient nova]

might have

[quartz kindle]

they are the old style of asynchronous coding

[ancient nova]

let me try figure this out

[quartz kindle]

promises came to improve it, but if whatever you're using doesnt use promises yet, you need to turn it into a promise yourself

[neat ingot]

// create a non async function that returns a promise (and should be awaited)
const getWorkingWebStatus = function (website) { 
    // returns a promise that can be awaited
    return new Promise((resolve) => { 
        // perform a non async function call with some callback
        req(website, /*the callback >*/ (error, res, body) => { 
            resolve({ // resolve the promise we returned with an object
                result: "failure",
                input: `${website}`
            });
        });
    });
};

hope that helps somewhat 🙂

[ancient nova]

thanks!

I think I might actually have fixed it

running the code has no errors let me try to test the function out

it worked

amazing

thanks @quartz kindle @neat ingot @earnest phoenixand @lyric mountain lol

[last tapir]

const events = [
    {

                id: 'roleUpdate'
            }
        ]
    },
];

How can I count the number of events?

[earnest phoenix]

You're welcome

[quartz kindle]

both from message and from role?

[last tapir]

yes

[quartz kindle]

events.reduce((a, b) => a + b.events.length, 0)

[last tapir]

i made a for in loop first

or that, ooo

[neat ingot]

something like this maybe?

events.reduce((result, item) => {
    result += item.events.length
},0); 

[feral aspen]

.reduce() is really handy at times, I keep forgetting what it does and remembering the day after.

[neat ingot]

oh tim beat me lmao

[feral aspen]

I need to keep understanding it now that I am handling sharding.

[ancient nova]

is there a way to make a temporary variable that will be removed once function is over? I know I can do that in c# pretty easily

[earnest phoenix]

If you've already set those to the client, which I assume you've already done so, you can just do <Client>.listenerCount(), if you haven't, then you can reduce it by using <Array>.reduce(), which was already shown

[quartz kindle]

everything declared inside the function only exists while inside the function

[ancient nova]

so having a normal
var object;
and then later be used for something such:
object = "string";
won't be stored?

cause I'm running to performance issues declaring a new variable with looping

[feral aspen]

When I have this code:

require('dotenv').config();
const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const manager = new ShardingManager('./src/index.js', { token: process.env.TOKEN, totalShards: 2 });

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
    console.log(`[SHARDS]: Launched shard ${shard.id}`)
});

manager.spawn({ delay: 10000, timeout: 60000 });

The error is Error [SHARDING_IN_PROCESS]: Shards are still being spawned..
Some people told me, don't broadvast eval or fetch client values before all shards get ready. Although, I have the ready event immediately firing up, what can I do at this case?

[quartz kindle]

function something() {
  let object;
  // do something
  object = "string";
}

console.log(object) // undefined

[ancient nova]

you should first start the client then count shards

[neat ingot]

dont use the var keyword, its obsolete and has quirks. use const for constant vairables or let for variables that can change

[feral aspen]

I have the ready event immediately firing up, what can I do at this case?

[quartz kindle]

anything declared inside a function only exists inside that function and its respective subfunctions and subscopes

[ancient nova]

using var is just muscle memory at this point

[wheat mesa]

var is bad

[ancient nova]

I use it both with const and practically never use let

[neat ingot]

lol, fair. i ; every language i use because of habbit

[wheat mesa]

Unless you know the baggage that comes along with it, you should probably not be using var

[neat ingot]

still, should try for the sake of modern code 😄

[wheat mesa]

let is block scoped, var is function scoped

[ancient nova]

since JS doesn't need the ";" I sometimes forget to add it while writing in C and I can't figure out the why my code isn't running sometimes lol

[cinder patio]

give code I doubt that's where the issues are coming from

[neat ingot]

arent var declerations also hoisted ?

[quartz kindle]

nothing you can do about it, catch the error and try again later

[wheat mesa]

let is block scoped, var is function scoped

[ancient nova]

var amount = 5;
for (let i = _amount; i--;) {
const variable = something;
return variable;
}
take this as an example of what I'm doing

[quartz kindle]

the only thing you could do is pass a timer calculated from the number of shards multiplied by the timeout between shards

[ancient nova]

it just hurts to look at how I'm declaring a new variable each loop

You should probably show the actual code of what you’re doing instead of showing vague examples

[neat ingot]

yea, but im sure the var variables are hoisted to the top of the scope and can be accessed (with no value) before definition ~ iirc, could be wrong

[feral aspen]

Is there no promise to first check that shards all finish launching first then continue to fire up the ready event?

[cinder patio]

That would run the loop only once. Variables have little to no cost so don't think that they're making your code slow

[neat ingot]

(()=> {
    console.log(testvar)
    var testvar = 1;
    console.log(testvar)
})();

[wheat mesa]

Oh that’s what you meant, then yeah you’re right

[quartz kindle]

if you declare it inside the loop, it only exists while that iteration of the loop exists, once the iteration is done, the variable is gone automatically

[ancient nova]

I figured, I'll just let it be like that

also one last question before I go, what it's the best efficient way to check if the loop has stopped?
I've been using if (i === 0) and sometimes it doesn't work or get's called before loop is actually done

[feral aspen]

Could you provide an example?

[wheat mesa]

what..?

The loop condition?

[cinder patio]

for (...) {
   ...
}
console.log("Loop has stopped :D");

[wheat mesa]

That

[neat ingot]

for (let index = 0; /* condition > */ index < array.length; index++) {
    const element = array[index];
    
}```
all loop types have a build in condition for if they should run

[wheat mesa]

But I don’t think that’s what you meant unless I’m wrong

[quartz kindle]

there is no such thing, unless you're doing something really weird

can you show from where do you want to check that?

[quartz kindle]

something like this i guess? ShardingManager({ shardArgs: [2 * 10000] })

calculate the total delay for all shards

2 shards * 10000ms delay each

give it to the shardArgs so yuo can access it from the children

then use that as a timer before using broadcastEval

but that is not an ideal solution

the last shard will wait the full time for all shards, instead of waiting just its own time

[ancient nova]

well basically
I had a function that logs something to the consAole
then loop
and then checked if it hit o and logged it's own thing, often the 0 check console.log came first before the logging from the function finished

but that may be just cause my code is really unoptimized

[feral aspen]

The idea is great, but not an ideal solution made me not do it.

[quartz kindle]

its better to just catch the error and retry later

[feral aspen]

Catch the error, where?

[ancient nova]

I fixed the above with a asynchronous delay of like 3000 ms

[quartz kindle]

broadcastEval

[ancient nova]

but now that it's being resolved automatically it's fixed

[quartz kindle]

if you have race conditions, that means you're not using promises correctly

once you are, there should be no race conditions

anyway i g2g

[ancient nova]

see ya later

thanks for the help again

[feral aspen]

Thanks for your time, Tim.

[neat ingot]

I asked earlier but it got immediately buried lol
Any vital options I could add to my app

[wheat mesa]

Can’t think of any. What framework did you use for that? React native? Electron?

[neat ingot]

electron with bootstrap and custom styling

[wheat mesa]

Nice

Looks great

[neat ingot]

thankies

[hushed patrol]

@quartz kindle ty the code u gave worked tysmmm

[mild zodiac]

may I ask, what this app is? :)

[lyric mountain]

this

[mild zodiac]

but what does the app do, is it some kind of dashboard for the bot?

Discord RPC doesn't sound like a dashboard...

[craggy pine]

No it's quite literally the message you see in the picture

RPC probably Rich Presence Creator?

[spark flint]

rich presence

like what i have rn too

[neat ingot]

the app communicates with discord on my pc to set my 'currently playing' information on my user profile. it also polls an api for information on players and servers, but that api is offline atm 😛

[mild zodiac]

oh bruh

yeah sorry I'm dumb lol

[spark flint]

mines from VisualStudio, they made an app to allow you set it to whatever you want basically

[ancient nova]

can you not use the request NPM to ping an IP by itself?

[lyric mountain]

just use node-fetch

[ancient nova]

@lyric mountain can node-fetch do it though?

[lyric mountain]

well, yes

any kind of http request is a ping

[ancient nova]

without the port it isn't a http request

just a plain IP

[lyric mountain]

without the port it's implicit to be either 80 or 443

but that's address not request

[civic scroll]

technically anything you send to an IP endpoint can be treated as a request

[ancient nova]

so setting it's port would fix it?

[quartz kindle]

in order to ping an address, that address must be able to respond somehow, so it needs to be running some kind of server on some port

[civic scroll]

yeah that

[ancient nova]

for example http://1.1.1.1:80

[lyric mountain]

I think ur missing the point

[civic scroll]

no

[ancient nova]

cause before I had a invalid URI error while trying to ping an IP

[civic scroll]

in order to ping, both side send messages

[lyric mountain]

maybe u passed an invalid ip

[civic scroll]

you can't ping if endpoint doesn't respond

[ancient nova]

1.1.1.1 is valid

just don't know it's port

[civic scroll]

address and port matters

[civic scroll]

you tryna ping cloudflare?

[quartz kindle]

port is 80 for http, 443 for https

[lyric mountain]

nope, http:// and https:// are required

[ancient nova]

just for testing

[civic scroll]

4200 for angular

[quartz kindle]

if you write http:// it will automatically set port 80 for you

[ancient nova]

it didn't, it seems

[lyric mountain]

5432 for pogstress

[quartz kindle]

if you write https:// it will automatically set port 443 for you

[ancient nova]

I kept getting invalid URI errors

[civic scroll]

you host on the same machine right

[ancient nova]

I host the script on my PC and I'm trying to ping 1.1.1.1

which is a host as well

[lyric mountain]

1.1.1.1 isn't a "host" per se

it's literally cloudflare

[ancient nova]

yep, but it is hosting

[civic scroll]

it's a proxy server

not a hosting one

[ancient nova]

testing for hosting returns data so it is a host

[civic scroll]

💀

[lyric mountain]

you see, not everything that lay eggs is a chicken

[ancient nova]

okay, just give me a different IP address I'll see if it fixes the error

[civic scroll]

also another possibility is that, the host refuses connectio

[ancient nova]

alright let me check then

[civic scroll]

tim why you use odd node version

[quartz kindle]

its runkit

[civic scroll]

i demand node 16

[quartz kindle]

node 17 is nice

[civic scroll]

also request

use http

:^)

[quartz kindle]

thats what he said he was using

or she

or they

[civic scroll]

or [object Object]

[quartz kindle]

best gender

[civic scroll]

ngl

[quartz kindle]

"hi, are you male or female?"
"im a js object"

[civic scroll]

also any good image renderer that uses svg

[quartz kindle]

what platform?

[civic scroll]

wanna do programmatically

[ancient nova]

lmao

well it worked weirdly enough

[civic scroll]

js is best

but canvas sucked

[ancient nova]

I'll try with http now

[quartz kindle]

you dont need anything to make svg

[civic scroll]

no

[lyric mountain]

j-j-java maybe? 👉👈

[ancient nova]

let amount = 10;
var intervalAmount = setInterval(() => {
amount -= 1;
if (amount === 0) clearInterval(intervalAmount);
}, 250);
``` can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?

[quartz kindle]

you can generate svg by concatenating strings

[civic scroll]

feBlendMatrix

is what i'm looking for

[ancient nova]

supposed to be a counter and stop once it reaches zero but it goes infinitely for some reason

[civic scroll]

for drop shadows on a transparent surface

[civic scroll]

var

[lyric mountain]

never ever use === to check loop condition WITH an increment/decrement

[ancient nova]

does not work for me

[quartz kindle]

then you're doing something wrong

[cinder patio]

== / === doesn't matter

[civic scroll]

runtime issue

[ancient nova]

then how else am I supposed to check?

[lyric mountain]

either >= or <=

or </>

[civic scroll]

or ==, if type is certain

[lyric mountain]

nonono

[cinder patio]

When working with integers u'll never get a floating point

[lyric mountain]

you see, cosmic rays are a real thing in programming

[quartz kindle]

^ thats true

[civic scroll]

yes

[lyric mountain]

plus iirc the compiler does some under-the-hood optimizations when using </<=/>=/> for loops

[civic scroll]

also like

tim

btw

any platform, as long as executable

and takes svg definition as argument

[ancient nova]

alright so I'll just change it to amount < 0 then

[quartz kindle]

i mean, if what you're trying to do is supported by the svg spec, you can do with by concatenating strings, otherwise idk

[lyric mountain]

it'll never run

u need to use >= 0

[civic scroll]

<=

[cinder patio]

< 1

[quartz kindle]

< 2

[ancient nova]

lmao which one

[civic scroll]

render to .png tho

[quartz kindle]

=<=>>=<.<0.1

[civic scroll]

or .webp in this case

[lyric mountain]

= 0 if u want to include 0, else use > 0

[ancient nova]

-_-

[cinder patio]

< 1

[lyric mountain]

oh wait nvm, it's an inverse check

[quartz kindle]

ah so you want an image rendering to convert svg to raster, in node or in browser?

[ancient nova]

yep, it's going down

[civic scroll]

that will be serverside code

i can use child-process

[lyric mountain]

☕

[quartz kindle]

and canvas didnt work?

[civic scroll]

sucked

doesn't render boxshadows properly

for transparent surfaces

[quartz kindle]

did you try sharp?

[civic scroll]

ye

the shadow got through the surface instead

[ancient nova]

reminded me of JAVA logo for some reason

[quartz kindle]

well, try random npm modules i guess

[lyric mountain]

that's the idea

[civic scroll]

tim you

[quartz kindle]

me me

[civic scroll]

doesn't have to be a node module

an executable works

[quartz kindle]

try inkscape

or imagemagick

[civic scroll]

cli compatible?

[quartz kindle]

ye

they are linux cli programs

[civic scroll]

because ima run that with 1227 consecutive images

[lyric mountain]

imagemagick +1

heavily optimized for cli usage

[civic scroll]

thank

also is there any event in browser to tell if javascript code is already fetched and ready to execute

[lyric mountain]

isn't fetch a promise?

u could either await it or use .then

[cinder patio]

I mean... if the code is executing then it's already ready and getting executed? Like what do you mean

[civic scroll]

i mean "when do browser APIs are available"

[cinder patio]

Depends on which API

[ancient nova]

why does async delay not work in setIntervals?

[cinder patio]

document should be used in an window.onload event, or in a script which has the defer attribute

[civic scroll]

on serverside render config i tried but ended up with localStorage is not defined
when the code is rendered on servers , browser APIs are not available

[civic scroll]

callback is not async

[cinder patio]

yeah localStorage is a browser-only API and you're trying to use it server-side. Check if it exists beforehand

check if you're running on the server

if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
  // ... running on the client
} else {
  // running on the server
}

[ancient nova]

no, I've made a asynchronous setTimeout delay thingy that works as a delay function that javascript never gave us

[civic scroll]

that is a microtask iirc

[ancient nova]

the problem is that it doesn't wanna work for some reason it doesn't work inside setInterval parentheses

[cinder patio]

give code

we can't imagine ur broken code

[ancient nova]

please, I'm all about right syntax and 100% clean code

[civic scroll]

i wanna know when it's available so i can use them right away

[cinder patio]

localStorage is available right away if the code is running on the client

localStorage will never be available on the server

[cinder patio]

more code

[ancient nova]

it doesn't work event though the entire function is an async function

[civic scroll]

meant to be async, so

return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, <delay>))

[ancient nova]

that's almost what I did

just put it into a constant function as alwayas

IT WORKS btw don't say it doesn't

[cinder patio]

Then why are you here

just show the code

[civic scroll]

you also have synchronus wait

[ancient nova]

for some reason it says that my function isn't async when it is whenever I try to exec it from setInterval

[ancient nova]

const delay = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms));

[civic scroll]

it's evaluated on server before that

pain

[ancient nova]

I've shown you the one that causes the errors

[cinder patio]

That code doesn't give enough context at all

We can only guess

[civic scroll]

the function that hosts this block of code is async right

[ancient nova]

let me fix it then so I can paste it

it's got too much stuff in it to fit into one screenshot

[civic scroll]

answer

[ancient nova]

yep

[civic scroll]

then it should work

[cinder patio]

What do you mean by "doesn't work" then?

what does it do

[civic scroll]

then issue is _speed being too small for the await to work at all

[cinder patio]

Adding 100 ms won't make much of a difference anyways

at least for u to notice

[ancient nova]

rl.question(`question`), async (_something, _amount) => {
    //more code
    var interval = setInterval(() => { // here is the interval
        _amount -= 1;
        if (_amount <= 0) {
            clearInterval(interval); 
            await delay(_speed + 100); //this causes the error but it shouln't
            return recursiveAsyncReadLine();
        }
    }, _something);
});
``` this is basically the entire function

rest doesn't affect it whatsoever

[lyric mountain]

var

[ancient nova]

whoops

wait

[cinder patio]

what error

[ancient nova]

that the function is not async

[woeful pike]

protip a _ prefix means intentionally unused variable outside of classes so this is probably going to end up confusing you

[lyric mountain]

shouldn't it be _speed * 100 btw?

[ancient nova]

nope, just want a slight increase

[cinder patio]

You need to put async in the callback to setInterval

async () =>

[ancient nova]

I figured

var interval= async => setInterval(() => {

[cinder patio]

no

[ancient nova]

updated it to that whilst trying to figure out

[cinder patio]

setInterval(async () => {

[ancient nova]

that did not work either

I've done that the first time I got this error

[cinder patio]

then u did something else wrong

[ancient nova]

maybe this

req("http://" + _ip, async function (error) {

should I convert it to an arrow function?

[cinder patio]

Most of the time it doesn't matter if it's an arrow function or a function defined with the function keyword so that's not your issue

[ancient nova]

could be though you never know

and at this point I feel braindead so it doesn't hurt to try

[cinder patio]

async (error) =>

go ahead and waste more CPU cycles

[ancient nova]

I think I just did

the delay didn't even work

no error though so that's progress

I won't make you help me anymore so I'll just figure it out myself

[cinder patio]

you're definitely not doing something right if that removed ur error

[ancient nova]

yeah, but I got no clue what 😫

could it maybe be an IP validation function?

it uses REGEX, and only is used once in the if statement

okay I finally fixed it lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo

[quartz kindle]

congrats

[ancient nova]

aaaaand now I got a different error ... I just can't

[boreal iron]

I won't make you help me anymore so I'll just figure it out myself

lmao

[ancient nova]

🤭

[dry imp]

imagine getting error when programming

[ancient nova]

and you don't?

are you human?

[dry imp]

i dont

[ancient nova]

cap

[dry imp]

work pefrectly in 1 try

[ancient nova]

massive cap

[dry imp]

sorry if you cant relate

[ancient nova]

stop the cap

[split hazel]

what is an average r/w speed for a hdd

[ancient nova]

like couple hundred mbs per sec

for a SSD prolly like couple GB

[craggy pine]

A typical 7200 RPM HDD will deliver a read/write speed of 80-160MB/s

550 MB/s for a ssd

[ancient nova]

I don't get why the god damn thing logs AFTER THE ERRORS

[earnest phoenix]

can I make kind of a setTimeout that runs every x time infinitely? And I want to start the timeout every time the bot starts if it dies or I update it

this sounds me of ```js
client.setTimeout/Interval

[split hazel]

im getting 210mbps so epic

[earnest phoenix]

how to meter that

[earnest phoenix]

your disk usage lowered?

[split hazel]

?

[boreal iron]

Wtf is this review?

[wheat mesa]

You could use cron depending on your use case

[earnest phoenix]

cron? my usecase is that, every certain time I want to add some gems to all players added in the mongodb database

will check cronjob

[dry imp]

answer it

[boreal iron]

Are those two IDs are actually bot IDs?

[earnest phoenix]

he wants to get the bots from that ids

[boreal iron]

Thank you but i do understand English as well

Can’t create a test invite on mobile meh

I wonder if both IDs are actually bot IDs

[earnest phoenix]

wait i'll make invite

[boreal iron]

Ah ty

Send them privately please

[earnest phoenix]

ok

oof I have to copy the ids

[earnest phoenix]

sent

[boreal iron]

Hmm one actually is a bot
