development

[ancient nova]

no

            let getResponseFromAPI;
            await fetch(`https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/checkPassword?username=${Username}`)
                .then(res => res.json())
                .then(out => getResponseFromAPI = out);
``` this better lol

[cinder patio]

yes, but no

const getResponseFromAPI = await fetch(`https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/checkPassword?username=${Username}`)
                .then(res => res.json())

[civic scroll]

NO

[ancient nova]

I had that from the beginning it didn't work

[civic scroll]

remove then 2nd .then

[cinder patio]

[ancient nova]

THE 2ND THEN IS WHAT MADE IT WORK

[quartz kindle]

lmfao

[neat ingot]

I just got totally lost watching a clip of a random tear animation I made a while back 😄

[civic scroll]

you seems to have skill issue

[ancient nova]

what did polish people do? :<

[ancient nova]

no, after debugging it many times it is what made it finally work

[civic scroll]

res.json is also a promise

i forgor

[cinder patio]

lmao let's just delete everything

[civic scroll]

but await awaits everythinf right

[cinder patio]

That would still work

yes

[neat ingot]

i feel bad for how much i laughed at this

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[ancient nova]

lol

okay I finally made it actually work

with customized error messages

[civic scroll]

@cinder patio imagine opening in webstorm and it starts throwing code quality warnings

[lyric mountain]

that's the good thing about jetbrains

[civic scroll]

let's also mention SonarLint

[lyric mountain]

it doesn't try to make your code look good, it doesn't try to make you feel less bad from writing shitty code

it'll tell you plain and simple that your code sucks and you need to fix it

[civic scroll]

unlesse

evil company

[lyric mountain]

[ancient nova]

okay Imma dip

thanks to everyone who didn't immediately blocked me and went on with their lives

[civic scroll]

take a rest

istg

[ancient nova]

🤣

bye

[quartz kindle]

blocked

jk

[ancient nova]

😑

[neat ingot]

[boreal iron]

don't worry Tim doesn't block anyone who could possibly distract him from moving on developing his API

[sudden geyser]

funny thing is the repo actually made news headlines now

[civic scroll]

"very nice"

[lament rock]

👍

git merge

[lyric mountain]

great way of getting exposure

[lament rock]

Time to add that to a Discord library. Discord sends you a list of voice regions on READY, so you can triangulate the user's approximate location and guess from there

[wheat mesa]

Time to install a node-ipc on a bunch of Russian VPSs

[primal aspen]

So why is "anonymous" voting done via reactions in a public channel instead of dm'd polls that are entirely anonymous?

[sudden geyser]

Who/what are you referring to specifically?

[cinder patio]

I think you have the wrong server

I have to write an algo which compares the differences between two files, if any lines have been added / removed and lines which are edited... but that sounds hard

[ancient nova]

let _amount = 5;
Amount = _amount;
var interval = setInterval(() => {
 Amount -= 1;
 if (Amount === 0) {
  clearInterval(interval );                                        
 }
}, 250);
```can anyone tell me why this loop never stops?

[cinder patio]

you have 3 different variables which are called amount lol

[boreal iron]

I see 3 different vars named amount

[cinder patio]

pick one

[ancient nova]

now there's 2

_amount is actually a variable that is picked by the CLI

I just put it there for reference

[cinder patio]

you need only one

ah

it should work...

also follow naming conventions pls

[boreal iron]

well you updated (amount === 0) to (Amount === 0) now which is correct

[ancient nova]

well I do have it correct in my actual script, I just wrote this quickly for reference as to ask why it never stops

could it be that the actual

 if (Amount === 0) {
  clearInterval(interval );                                        
 }
``` is inside request function?

[cinder patio]

It does stop

your code is correct

[boreal iron]

after he changed his typo

[ancient nova]

yeah but I don't have this typo in my actual code and it never stooooooooooooooops

[boreal iron]

well check amount then after reducing it by 1

aka. log it and see

[cinder patio]

yeah add a console log to see if it really stops

[boreal iron]

ah lol I see

like in his example above

[ancient nova]

I don't need to I have a request inside the loop that pings a website and returns a console log

[cinder patio]

ok

you're delusional babe

If that's the 100% exact code then it should stop

give us more to work with

[ancient nova]

do you want the actual code then?

[cinder patio]

yes

[ancient nova]

let amount = 5;
var checkWebsiteAliveInterval = setInterval(() => {
    amount -= 1; 
    req("https://google.com/", (error) => {
        if (!error) console.log(`WEBISTE IS ALIVE!`);
        if (error) console.log(`WEBSITE IS DEAD!`);
        
        if (amount === 0) console.log(`PINGING STOPPED`);

        if (amount === 0 && !error || error) {
            clearInterval(checkWebsiteAliveInterval);
            return recursiveAsyncReadLine();
        }
    });
}, 250);
``` this is basically what it is

I just removed _amount since it's not needed

[cinder patio]

Well color me surprised

!error || error this is always going to be true

[ancient nova]

I meant to say if amount is 0 and there isn't an error then true or if theres an error return true immidietly

[ancient nova]

😢 thought you were gonna say that my syntax is good lol

[cinder patio]

You need to use await here. the code inside the req callabck doesn't get executed right away

[ancient nova]

where exactly?

[cinder patio]

so you're sending way more than 6 requests in reaility

[ancient nova]

how? is that why it never stops?

[cinder patio]

That's why it appears to you that it never stops

[ancient nova]

😮

magic

how do I fix it though?

[quartz kindle]

once it goes beyond 0 you're fucked

[ancient nova]

control + w or alt + f4 or control + c fixes it right up

(depending on where you execute the code, actually)

[cinder patio]

let amount = 5;
const checkWebsiteAliveInterval = setInterval(async () => {
    amount -= 1; 
    const resultOrErr = await req("https://google.com/").catch(() => undefined);
    if (!resultOrErr) console.log("Website is dead...");
    //...
    if (amount === 0) {
        clearInterval(...);
    }
}, 250);

[ancient nova]

there isn't any difference besides a catch

.. and an await

[cinder patio]

... exactly.

[ancient nova]

that will fix it, really?

[cinder patio]

and the code is cleaner in general

[quartz kindle]

that can still break

[cinder patio]

how

[ancient nova]

how

[quartz kindle]

if the response takes more than 250ms to return, another interval iteration will run regardless, and set amount to -1

[cinder patio]

yeeeah

[ancient nova]

OMG

[cinder patio]

you need to amount -= 1 after the await

[ancient nova]

yeah

I had that issue

[quartz kindle]

how about not using an interval in the first place?

[ancient nova]

that's why I limited it to 250ms

[quartz kindle]

thats like so wrong for this type of thing

[ancient nova]

I need to ping my api many times since it's glitch

[cinder patio]

you can just do a for loop

[ancient nova]

yea for loop also

[quartz kindle]

use a recursive function or a for loop

[lyric mountain]

why people insist in using X === 0 instead X <= 0 if beyond me

also var

[cinder patio]

ugly

Also < 1

better

[ancient nova]

why do you hate var so much

[ancient nova]

just noticed if I did a for loop I couldn't control the speed

I don't want it to take place instantly

although asynchronous delay could do the trick

[quartz kindle]

you can add delays to a loop

[cinder patio]

you can create a sleep function which uses a setTImeout

[ancient nova]

ya that's what I meant by an asynchronous delay

[lyric mountain]

it's a shitty way of declaring variables, causes a ton of weird errors, is terribly inefficient and any respected IDE will throw a hundred of warnings in your face

[quartz kindle]

another thing you can do, which actually makes sense for this, is add a time limit for the request, and if it doesnt return within the limit, assume offline

[ancient nova]

I use VSC and gives me not a one error

[lyric mountain]

I said respected IDE

not fancy text editor

[ancient nova]

and it's one of the most popular, if not the MOST popular idea actually

[lyric mountain]

there really is -1 reasons to use var instead of let

[ancient nova]

really

[lyric mountain]

vscode isn't an ide

[ancient nova]

then which editor is better than vsc

[lyric mountain]

for js? webstorm

[cinder patio]

vscode is ideal for js

[ancient nova]

never heard of that

[cinder patio]

shut

[lyric mountain]

he edited "ide" for "editor"

[ancient nova]

also @cinder patio so then I should use a for loop idead?

[quartz kindle]

idead

[ancient nova]

idead lol, me too

[lyric mountain]

https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/

[cinder patio]

yeah

[ancient nova]

okay it looks actually kinda nice

[lyric mountain]

vscode is the best if you exclude IDEs

[ancient nova]

although it's primarily web based

[cinder patio]

bloat compard to vsc tbh

[lyric mountain]

not really

[cinder patio]

VSCode is pretty much an IDE for javascript these days

[ancient nova]

from the looks of it, it is so

[lyric mountain]

by what looks?

the name?

[ancient nova]

I use it more for c# tbh

[ancient nova]

the name also, but the loops more

[lyric mountain]

what loops?

[cinder patio]

Yeah and I use it for Rust and C++. VSCode is pretty great.

[ancient nova]

bruh sorry I was thinking about the loops and typed it out instead of "looks"

[lyric mountain]

kekw

but really, you shouldn't judge an IDE's purpose by the example images

[cinder patio]

Visual Studio is terrible for JS

disgusting

[lyric mountain]

js is mostly used for web, so they use web examples

[ancient nova]

visual studio BY ITSELF is bad af

[lyric mountain]

never said it was good

[ancient nova]

vsc is the good one

[lyric mountain]

this is the important part

[ancient nova]

shhhhhhhhhhhh

[cinder patio]

For JS I am going to argue that it IS an IDE

[ancient nova]

you can make it into an ide with enough extensions

[cinder patio]

for JS only (and TS)

[lyric mountain]

well, you can consider a dog a mollusk as much as you want, doesn't change what it is

but back to the topic, change those vars

and use less risky boundary check

[cinder patio]

If it has all the core features an IDE has, then it's an IDE.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat ingot]

i kinda feel that way about vs code too

with a few extensions its basically a full ide

i write/build/run my c# code in vs code using dotnet

[ancient nova]

should I put the i === 0 check inside the for loop or inside the req function?

[cinder patio]

It has built in debugging and autocomplete for JS and TS. For other langs you have to install plugins

/ extensions

[lyric mountain]

well, it's useless to argue any further so I'll cut the discussion here

[lyric mountain]

no, use proper boundary check

[cinder patio]

you think I'm wrong?

[neat ingot]

[ancient nova]

which is?

[lyric mountain]

your opinion, I can't change that

[neat ingot]

vs code is treating the boundary lines very much so imo

[cinder patio]

but how is it wrong though

[lyric mountain]

either less-than or greater-than (or ~equals variants)

[cinder patio]

in your opinion

you can absolutely change my opinion

[lyric mountain]

as I said, I can't change your opinion, all this discussion will bring is a mod telling us to cut the topic

[ancient nova]

guys chill

[cinder patio]

I'm waiting

[lyric mountain]

for me (and microsoft), vscode is a code editor, you can put as many plugins as you want but that won't change what it is

[neat ingot]

https://i.imgflip.com/69wggv.jpg

[lyric mountain]

vscode is more feature-rich than lesser editors like sublime or np++, but less than an actual IDE

take eclipse (shitty one) for example

[neat ingot]

vs code can do the things defined there

[lyric mountain]

code editor != text editor

[ancient nova]

you can build and test software in vsc with a bunch of extesions

which are free btw

[cinder patio]

What does an IDE have that VSCode doesn't, for JS at least?

built-in VSCode ^

[ancient nova]

yeah and for some languages those features are builtin

[cinder patio]

That is such a weird sentence. It's saying the same thin??

[ancient nova]

TypeError: req(...).catch is not a function

[neat ingot]

again imo, vs code treads the line between editor and ide very much

[ancient nova]

sorry for intruding on your guys' discussion but

I got an error

[cinder patio]

The definitions are so blurry that I'd say it can be considered both

[neat ingot]

kind of yea lol

[lyric mountain]

opinion

[neat ingot]

[lyric mountain]

is it async?

[neat ingot]

at the end of the day, if you can write and run and debug your code, use what makes you happy on the inside 😛

[ancient nova]

yeah

[sudden geyser]

okay crazy idea but

[lyric mountain]

show that function

req I mean

[sudden geyser]

what if we get rid of ide/code editor distinction and just call them editors

[cinder patio]

this ^

[sudden geyser]

who cares if you use intelliJ or neovim: you can make both the exact opposite

[neat ingot]

imo, they should update the definition of ide, and make it for specific environments. like, i'd consider unity an ide for game devs, or android studio for android devs

[ancient nova]

rl.question(question), async (_speed) => {
if statement{
another if statement {
for loop {
const awaitedExpression = await req(websiteToAlive).catch(() => undefined);
}
}
}
}

sorry for bad syntax lol

[neat ingot]

but then you could argue tools like visual studio can be integrated within those environments

[lyric mountain]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30527522/what-are-the-differences-between-visual-studio-code-and-visual-studio

[neat ingot]

and then you could ague so can vs code... lol

[sudden geyser]

reject vscode

return to sublime

[ancient nova]

so what's wrong?

[lyric mountain]

use codeblocks please

[ancient nova]

I can't copy paste all of it

[cinder patio]

I'm arguing that VSCode IS a IDE for javascript and typescript. The answers in that seem to be talking about C#. Yes, C# is easier to write in VS

[lyric mountain]

```js
code
```

codeblocks

[ancient nova]

const awaitedExpression = await req(websiteToAlive).catch(() => undefined);

[lyric mountain]

I'm not talking abt VSC vs VS

[neat ingot]

but not hard to write in vs code. you literally run dotnet new console to create a new c# console application (granted, you need the c# plugin)

[lyric mountain]

VS is (despite a shitty one) an ide

so it technically fulfills your question

[ancient nova]

well then is there a problem or not?

[lyric mountain]

you didn't send what I asked

send what req is

[ancient nova]

I did

request

[lyric mountain]

show where u define it

[ancient nova]

const req = require('request');

[quartz kindle]

lol

[ancient nova]

at the very start of the script?

[quartz kindle]

didnt we talk about promises vs callbacks before?

[lyric mountain]

tell me it isn't this

[quartz kindle]

and how request does not support promises

[neat ingot]

have you really been coding since 2018?

[ancient nova]

yeah lol

I'll just switch to fetch then

[lyric mountain]

yeah simple

[ancient nova]

that is pretty simple tho

[lyric mountain]

less than promises

cuz u cant simply chain steps

[ancient nova]

that doesn't really bother me

what can you do in nodefetch that you can't in request

besides the promises

[lyric mountain]

the big red warning should tho

use node-fetch

or axios

[ancient nova]

I used request for forever

adding it to any program is muscle memory so

[neat ingot]

request has been depreciated for ages - i use bent, node fetch is fine

[ancient nova]

can't just automaticalyl stop

[ancient nova]

I also have nodefetch in my program so I'll just use that ig

[lyric mountain]

worried to ask if you add it even to programs that don't use requests

[ancient nova]

most likely not lol

[lyric mountain]

I recommend reading what changed in latest node versions, much of the stuff that was fine to do back in 201x is now either deprecated or frowned upon

[ancient nova]

that's a bold way to say it

fine I'll try using node-fetch more

[lyric mountain]

not only that, but general stuff

[ancient nova]

and also change all of my vars to lets

[neat ingot]

honestly, keeping up with all the changes for various packages is time consuming af

[quartz kindle]

lets'a go, its'a me, mario

hello'o

[ancient nova]

lol

[lyric mountain]

like, languages are VERY volatile over relatively small periods of time

[ancient nova]

I'd hate to care about changes

[lyric mountain]

there's a reason they say being a programmer is re-learning to code every day

[lyric mountain]

don't code in python then

[ancient nova]

I'm not a person that wants to update their bots code every week because a single feature has changed

[lyric mountain]

they literally kill the language every single update

[neat ingot]

I havent heard that before, but it seems fitting 😄

[ancient nova]

I hate python so much

[lyric mountain]

my teacher used to say it a lot

[ancient nova]

not only because of what you said, but also bloating, syntax and much more

[lyric mountain]

not every week, but most like every major update

like, u make a bot in node 16, when you update to 17 you need to check what was changed

for example in node 15 (?) they added optional chaining

which made a HUGE (in capital letters) difference in how your code flows

let val = ...;
if (val == null) { // or if (!val) { if it wont return a falsey value
  val.aFunction("abc");
}

became ```js
let val = ...;
val?.aFunction("abc");

[quartz kindle]

node itself rarely ever pushes breaking changes tho

discord.js on the other hand...

[lyric mountain]

ye, I meant more for how things stop being "okay" and become "could be better" over versions

[woeful pike]

C would like a word with you lol

[lyric mountain]

C fights with its own compilers

[woeful pike]

clone a javascript repo 1 year later and nothing works. Clone a C project 15 years in the future and it runs perfectly

[sudden geyser]

yeah cause it gets zero updates lul

[lyric mountain]

C++ for example, a few years back it was fine to include using namespace std in every project was relatively common

now the community will yeet you out of the building for doing that

[woeful pike]

3 words, say them and I'm all yours 🥰

[ancient nova]

but both are valid and still work in the latter version

[woeful pike]

using namespace std

[ancient nova]

so no reason to be scared

[lyric mountain]

they are, but isn't recommended anymore

[quartz kindle]

using namespace v8

:^)

[sudden geyser]

i'm thinking of three other words and it's not fine

[ancient nova]

yeah so that's why I don't really care about changes

[quartz kindle]

its not fine

[ancient nova]

and I'd use them until they stop working

🤷‍♂️

[lyric mountain]

bad thing

[ancient nova]

you say it's bad, but if it works it works

[lyric mountain]

goes to search for that cow gif

[ancient nova]

in some cases, like now had to switch from request to fetch but still

[lyric mountain]

https://c.tenor.com/wb_cBkihf5EAAAAC/cow-udder.gif it works

[ancient nova]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-polish-cow-at4am-gif-18638816

[quartz kindle]

if you dont like switching, then dont use external libs

[ancient nova]

lmao

[quartz kindle]

node has built in http

[woeful pike]

possibly the most inconvenient builtin library of all time

[ancient nova]

I forgot about that one

[quartz kindle]

also

node has built in fetch now

experimental in node 17

will be enabled by default in node 18

[lyric mountain]

they merged node-fetch into it or is it entirely new?

[ancient nova]

also @lyric mountain you won't believe my big brain plan

[quartz kindle]

they merged undici and undici-fetch

[ancient nova]

want to hear it?

[lyric mountain]

depends

as long as you don't say you'll transform request into a promise-based lib

[ancient nova]

why would I do that -_-

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure that already exists

[ancient nova]

at this point I'd prefer nodefetch

but yea

my big brain plan is

since I can't move my files from glitch to repl it, since sqlite doen't work with repl, the thing I just made can ping the website like 5 times and bring it back alive for like 3 seconds just to check the password

[woeful pike]

I just want one single unified web api

😭 just pay $2/month for a vps lol it's not worth the pain

[ancient nova]

insane ngl

[woeful pike]

you spend way more money every month just going outside or buying random shit

[ancient nova]

still

[lyric mountain]

I mean, why u want the site to be 24/7?

websites are fine being on only when used

[ancient nova]

exactly, can just bring it alive for 5 seconds to check the password and then it can go back offline

[lyric mountain]

no need to ping

[ancient nova]

and by doing that I won't break their tos

[lyric mountain]

when u access the page it'll go on

[lyric mountain]

browsers send a GET request when u open any website

[ancient nova]

yeah, but if I don't ping it, or at least await it it won't work

[ancient nova]

have to start it up beforehands

[lyric mountain]

why?

[ancient nova]

because glitch websites take ages to boot up[

[lyric mountain]

well, but how would you know when to ping?

[ancient nova]

just before I exec the function

ofc with a slight delay

[lyric mountain]

how?

[ancient nova]

bring it online
// do some other stuff
// by this time like 3000ms should have passed
//login takes like 1000ms
and website should've booted by then

big brain

[quartz kindle]

that one actually doesnt use request, it uses http

[lyric mountain]

a

[quartz kindle]

b

[ancient nova]

c

[old monolith]

how do you guys transition guilds to slash commands?
I looked into it and it seems like you can attempt to sync commands in a guild and if you get an error they dont have application.commands scope and have to re-invite the bot.
is that the best approach?

[lyric mountain]

just ask them to reauthorize the bot

and obviously, check if the scope is enabled before pushing slashes

[old monolith]

can you be a bit more detailed?

check if the scope is enabled before pushing slashes
how? is there a way to check the enabled scopes?

[lyric mountain]

check the docs for that

[slender wagon]

how do u handle a Cannot send messages to this user error without the entire app crashing

[old monolith]

catching it

[ancient nova]

does anyone know a safer way to do this?

eval(fs.readFileSync(`./customcommands/${answer.replace('-', '')}.js`, "utf-8"));

[cinder patio]

require

[slender wagon]

uhh

client.users.fetch(USER_ID).then((user) => {
               try {
                  user.send(`You just purchased a ${item} for ${price} Cips`);    
               }
               catch (err){
                  console.log("err")
               }
            })

this kinda catching should work right?

[ancient nova]

require caches so no

[old monolith]

JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`./customcommands/${answer.replace('-', '')}.js`, "utf-8"))

[ancient nova]

.. why json?

[old monolith]

oh its js

my bad

then there is no way

[ancient nova]

no worries

[old monolith]

you can remove the cache tho

[cinder patio]

So what? Why don't you want caching

[old monolith]

delete require.cache[require.resolve('./b.js')]

[ancient nova]

because I need to execute it many times not execute once and then cache to memory

[cinder patio]

then use eval

[ancient nova]

already do

[old monolith]

dont use eval just clear the cache

[cinder patio]

same thing

doesn't really matter

[ancient nova]

innefficient, at that point eval would be better regardless

I guess I'll stick with eval for this one then

[old monolith]

I did, I dont see any way to load what scopes your bot has on a guild

[cinder patio]

I mean your method is still as inefficient. If the code never changes, you just need to run it multiple times, then wrap it in a function, dynamically import it and just call the function whenever you need to

If it changes, then this is your only option

[ancient nova]

that's a pretty good idea although my I use eval because the customcommands folder changes during runtime many times

and I want to update realtime what commands are there to show in a GUI

[woeful pike]

uh what why

like in development?

[ancient nova]

I'm working on an integration system

execute custom scripts from a program, save and reuse for convinience

also gonna add support for more languages soon

[slender wagon]

logs the error but still manages to crash the app

[old monolith]

you didnt await

[woeful pike]

you wanna know the ultimate trick to convenient development? Do development by running test suites and once your tests are passing, hook it up to discord

No eval and reload required

[cinder patio]

Regex question:

it("...", () => {
  // I need to get everything in here
});

it("...", () => {
  //... And here
});

The regex I have is it\(".*", \(\) => {((.|\n)*)}\);, which works the first time, and then it captures everything. I want it to stop at the last }); before another if or a newline \n

[ancient nova]

nahhh I'm making something different although nice idea

[woeful pike]

why not just parse the AST?

[old monolith]

honestly just do

const user = await client.users.fetch(USER_ID);
try {
    await user.send(`You just purchased a ${item} for ${price} Cips`);
} catch (err) {
    console.log('probably cant dm that person', err);
}

[cinder patio]

I could... but a regex solution seems possible too

[woeful pike]

regex isn't really meant to solve these kinds of problems

[ancient nova]

people say regex shouldn't be used for that

personally I think otherwise

my script is like 25% regex, constantly increasing and nobody can stop me

[quartz kindle]

have fun having a slow ass script :^)

[ancient nova]

few ms doesn't make a massive difference

[woeful pike]

I'm working on a tool that parses the entire topgg codebase with @swc/core to look for translation strings in order to reduce bundle size. The entire thing executes in a couple seconds and that's mostly because it's in js and not compiled to wasm

would recommend

but there are other compilers out there you can use like babel that have better support

but why do you need to do this anyways

[cinder patio]

I think I'll go with the swc one, I've used it's Rust API and it really is super fast

I'm creating a snapshot testing tool for one of my libraries

[woeful pike]

why not use something like istanbul instead

wait snapshot testing? I thought you wanted to look at testing summary

[slender wagon]

same error but weird how it doesn't log the "probably cant dm that person"

[ancient nova]

just found this 😉

[old monolith]

hm no then you probably did something wrong or I suddenly forgot how to javascript

[woeful pike]

that last sentence is totally wrong lol

it's what leads people to write 200 char regexes

[slender wagon]

it looks fine to me

[ancient nova]

it's what the sentence said, better than having a 400 liner

[cinder patio]

The thing is that I'm testing a typescript transformer, so integrating that with existing tools is pretty difficult.

I'm basically writing integration tests for the transformed code, and snapshot tests on top of that to easily view changes in the generated code. So the integration tests check if the generated code is correct, and at the same time if there is any regression or anything of that sort.

It's a unique case, can't find anything to help me out lol

[woeful pike]

absolutely not, I would much rather write a 400 line parser than a 200 character regex

you're going to go insane the second you need to make a change to that regex

[ancient nova]

hmm well I prefer to keep it simple

[woeful pike]

big regexes are not simple tho

[cinder patio]

and the snapshot tests get the source from the transpiled integration tests

[ancient nova]

well not simple more "compact"

[woeful pike]

couldn't you use jest's own snapshotting for this?

[cinder patio]

I can't get the transformer to work with jest

[ancient nova]

if I include a simple backslash text explaining what the regex does it's not gonna be as hard

[cinder patio]

and ts-jest to be specific

[slender wagon]

await user.send(`You just purchased a ${item} for ${price} Cips`).catch((err) => {
console.log('probably cant dm that person', err);
})    

yeah not sure what happened but this worked

[ancient nova]

plus there's regex editors out there

plenty of them

[woeful pike]

How do you fix an error with this regex

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

if you run into an issue you're basically fucked

[slender wagon]

found it a happy face it is

[ancient nova]

2 backslashes are causing this error

[woeful pike]

no that's just a generic email regex I copy pasted. It probably works for most things and is good enough to use

but if you run into an edge case you have no way of solving it

[ancient nova]

no, the regex is wrong

[woeful pike]

not to mention regular expressions can only describe regular language. You can't use it to reliably parse programming languages

[ancient nova]

the backslash should be a \ instead

[ancient nova]

nothing is impossible

[woeful pike]

no it is quite literally the definition of what a regular language is

one that can be expressed by a regular expression

if you have something like js which is a context sensitive language you can't parse it with regex

[ancient nova]

but you can still do it in regex, and if you format it nice it doesn't make a difference

[woeful pike]

if you enjoy pain I suppose you can

[ancient nova]

🤷‍♂️ I like a challenge

[woeful pike]

there are challenges and there are wrong ways of doing things lol

[ancient nova]

regex isn't always that bad though

I agree sometimes it's better to skip regex, but in most cases using regex is a good idea

[woeful pike]

because regex isn't capable of representing the language you're trying to describe, the regex you have to write to cover more edge cases become more and more absurd until a point where it just makes no sense anymore and you can't really use it

try working on a parser without regex sometime. It's fun

or use regex in your parser, doesn't really matter

a json parser is a fun one and can't be made with regex

[ancient nova]

if you worry about syntax you don't have to use it, in my case at least it had helped me immensely with some stuff I couldn't do in the language or was quite literally harder to do without regex

with regex you can fit difficult to code checks in one line

[ancient nova]

we'll see

[earnest phoenix]

Regex this regex that, you shouldn't be using regex for everything or at least most things, here I work for Discord mobile's syntax highlighting library which uses regex mostly and that's a bad idea in general because it becomes extremely difficult to parse programming language instead of just using a text parser such as TextMate

[woeful pike]

syntax highlighting regexes must be a fucking nightmare

no wonder it's god awful

[cinder patio]

imagine having a parser for each language tho

[woeful pike]

https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/

[cinder patio]

terrible but understandable

[ancient nova]

I'm not talking about stuff like that though, if you do something like this in regex well

I can't have a say in that lol

[woeful pike]

the "benefit" of regex in this case is it's kind of fault tolerant because it kind of works with syntax errors

although im pretty sure tree sitter supports that too

[earnest phoenix]

I suppose that's why the regex approach for Discord mobile's markdown and syntax highlighting was chosen, although we'll be working on an actual parser, although parsers can also be tolerant for syntax errors if desired with a few options, using regex causes extreme amount of overhead for such simple operations as mentioned (not the syntax highlighting), I know that we've optimized the shit out of regex engines such as in our V8 engine, but doesn't really change the point much

[woeful pike]

well if you're doing syntax highlighting in a client's machine the overhead seems negligible

when they're looking at like max 1 full page of code

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, but the concern here for the syntax highlighting library isn't the performance, but rather the ease of making support for newer programming languages

[woeful pike]

right, regex seems awful for that

[cinder patio]

Regex generator from an AST? I wonder if that's doable 🤔

[woeful pike]

why not a parser generator lol

[cinder patio]

In websites and applications when the code is little having a smaller bundle size > better and faster code highlighting

at least imo

[earnest phoenix]

It takes like about an entire week or more just to add syntax highlighting to a new programming language (a proper and big one, not placeholders and simple esolangs or markdowns, such as Diff)

[cinder patio]

AST > regex would help those tools out

[earnest phoenix]

It took me 3 weeks to add JavaScript and TypeScript syntax highlighting to Discord mobile, and 6 months for it to land because the open-source libraries are inactive...

[ancient nova]

wow.

[earnest phoenix]

https://github.com/discord/SimpleAST

[ancient nova]

you used kotlin for the smali files?

[earnest phoenix]

I'm unsure if that relates, but that's just how it's written and integrated to the Discord mobile client, and it's extremely fast in this case

[ancient nova]

didn't know discord used kotlin, but that's pretty cool

[wheat mesa]

Discord doesn’t use Kotlin I don’t think, Kotlin is just a really friendly language for integrating with Android

[woeful pike]

parser combinators gang!!

[ancient nova]

does github.io allow for 24/7 hosting?

I was thinking, would it actually be possible to host an api on github?

[woeful pike]

github pages don't run processes for you

they just serve files

[ancient nova]

then how do people run their services on github like that?

(eg. https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html)

[woeful pike]

this is javascript that runs on your client

all github pages does here is send you the files

if your api is just json files then sure you can do that

[earnest phoenix]

Suweeeee

[ancient nova]

seems complicated

[woeful pike]

you want a free api? use cloudflare workers

[ancient nova]

they host 24/7?

right now I use glitch, which isn't the best but works ig

[woeful pike]

it's a serverless platform

they will execute functions for you. If your bot only uses slash commands you can run your bot on it too

[ancient nova]

so it's the same as github pretty much

[quartz kindle]

no lol

[woeful pike]

look up how serverless works

[wheat mesa]

github isn't for hosting (mostly)

[ancient nova]

ahhh now I get it

[wheat mesa]

aren't cf workers basically just an endpoint?

[woeful pike]

with cloudflare workers you register functions that run when an endpoint gets a request. Github pages just sends a file as a response

[ancient nova]

it stores function and then passes them

[split hazel]

mfs when they realise serverless applications are hosted on a server

[woeful pike]

it's cloudflare's version of AWS lambda

[ancient nova]

🖍️

[wheat mesa]

feed cloudflare instead of amazon

[ancient nova]

I tried to use an emoji but forgot I don't have nitro

[wheat mesa]

bezos has enough money >:C

[split hazel]

no

[ancient nova]

we can dream

[split hazel]

i want him to go to the ISS again

[ancient nova]

so it's a serverless server hosted on a server?

nice

[hidden gorge]

YESSS

[ancient nova]

mine took like 8 months to get approved

and then I lost it's files and my will to live

[hidden gorge]

mine took 5 minute

[ancient nova]

I will never make a bot again

[ancient nova]

tf?

[hidden gorge]

yeah

[ancient nova]

so unfair

I had to wait 8 freaking months

and then because of that my bot started getting invited too late and I was 1 DAY TOO LATE FROM GETTING A BOT DEVELOPER BADGE

1 FUCKING DAY!!!!!

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

L

[woeful pike]

same

[ancient nova]

shush bro

not funny

[earnest phoenix]

I find it kinda funny

[ancient nova]

sadness 😦

[ancient nova]

you're a bad person

laughing at my misfortune

[wheat mesa]

it's true

[ancient nova]

how dare you

[wheat mesa]

misty is a terrible person

[earnest phoenix]

I mean but it is funny

[wheat mesa]

he bullies me on a daily basis

[earnest phoenix]

cause badges mean nothing

[ancient nova]

I bet you'd like one too

[woeful pike]

I find it kinda sad

[earnest phoenix]

stfu go back to working on ur non-production useful json parser with your manual advancing

[ancient nova]

how about early supporter badge?

[wheat mesa]

😉

[ancient nova]

wouldn't you want that?

[wheat mesa]

I'm reworking that later after I do my homework dw

[earnest phoenix]

I had early supporter badge but it did nothing but show I supported discord early

[ancient nova]

exactly which is cool

[earnest phoenix]

Not really

[ancient nova]

it is

[earnest phoenix]

just shows you supported a platform that is toxic cause of the people who use it

[ancient nova]

I'm not

if someone is then it's their problem

don't mix me with people like them

[craggy pine]

Also people who only made bots for that badge ruined the experience for actual developers for the longest time in terms of verification wait times

[ancient nova]

I mean if you're an actual developer a badge can mean a lot

[craggy pine]

Which 99% id say were not really developers

Just people flooding discord wanting a silly badge that meant nothing tbh

[earnest phoenix]

Discord users thinking an SVG on their profile is gonna give them godlike powers or get them laid!!!

[ancient nova]

that discord badge pushed me to make a discord bot, updated and maintained it for like 2.5 years and then lost the files so didn't wanna make a new one

I didn't get me anyway

[craggy pine]

Exactly

[ancient nova]

but as my bot was getting more popular wanted to update it constantly either way

[woeful pike]

[ancient nova]

come on you know having a badge looks cool, since you yourself have one

[woeful pike]

nobody really cares about badges tho

non-devs barely even notice them

[craggy pine]

A program that shouldn’t take months to verify ended up taking that long due to all of the bot makers and copy pasta code

[ancient nova]

I do

[craggy pine]

Yepp

[ancient nova]

I'd love a badge

[woeful pike]

meh

[craggy pine]

It means nothing

Literally

[ancient nova]

-_-

[earnest phoenix]

I really don't find it cool whatsoever, I was just given it for having fun with Discord bots, never really wanted it in the first place

[woeful pike]

I could have 0 badges it wouldn't change anything tho the early supporter badge looks kinda cool

[lyric mountain]

I does, it means you'll get constant scam offers from badge hoarders

[earnest phoenix]

I really wish the Verified Discord Bot Developer badge should've never been a thing

[stark abyss]

I kinda want it but I don't want attention

[ancient nova]

well maybe you, I'm still kinda mad discord didn't give me the badge even after appeal

I was only 1 day late

1 single day

[craggy pine]

Yep

[ancient nova]

wouldn't get scammed lol

[lyric mountain]

No, but it's annoying

[ancient nova]

ig

[lyric mountain]

Like, all the time

[earnest phoenix]

@woeful pike so mean

[lyric mountain]

Almost as worse as saying you're female on reddit

[earnest phoenix]

Every time Discord introduces a new badge, you know it's time for those scammers to rise

[ancient nova]

or older accounts

[dry imp]

skill issue, shouldve submitted it 1 day earlier

[ancient nova]

pretty sure my account is from early 2015

people wanted to buy it just cause it's age

[ancient nova]

I didn't have enough servers

I started getting them once I uploadead my bot to top.gg

but it legit took 8 months to get approved

[earnest phoenix]

I saw so many people applying for the Discord moderator exam just for the Certified Discord Moderator badge even though they're not even interested in moderation nor actually moderate anything

[earnest phoenix]

I will give you 1$ for your account that has early supporter badge

[ancient nova]

certified discord mod badge?

[dry imp]

i mean who wants to work

[ancient nova]

never heard of it

[earnest phoenix]

[ancient nova]

oh that

[dry imp]

xiuh is certified mod

[ancient nova]

thought it was just a badge discord admins get

[lyric mountain]

Admin is the socialist one isn't it?

The hammer I mean

[earnest phoenix]

My friend was offered 1 bitcoin for the Discord nitro badge

Ah yes

[craggy pine]

Exactly. Anything a new badge releases you know all the people are going to flock to it. Do they think they’ll just sell off the accs for a quick buck or tf

[earnest phoenix]

that badge is permanent yknow

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah ()

[ancient nova]

bro I had a person scam their friend out of their account with early supporter and then cut contact after years of friendship

no kidding some people are this selfish

[real rose]

badges seem to really entice people

I personally don't see the value in them

[ancient nova]

make you feel special even though you aren't

[real rose]

i used to have early verified bot dev until buddy i was working with removed me from the team

[dry imp]

lmao

[ancient nova]

terrible friend

[earnest phoenix]

MFs think they gonna become the next Jeff Bezos when they get a badge and proceed to sell their account for it

[ancient nova]

ah yes, here's your 10$

[hybrid cargo]

F

[real rose]

YEAH FR

[earnest phoenix]

Badges are just like NFTs but instead of receiving hate for the most part, they get the opposite instead, and you mostly don't pay billions of dollars to them (unless you buy someone's account which is against Discord's ToS)

[ancient nova]

wait that's actually against tos?

no way

why?

[dry imp]

tf u mean why

[ancient nova]

it's just an account why selling it would be against Tos you made it I'd say you can do whatever you want with it, if you for example quit discord why not sell your account since you aren't going to use it

[earnest phoenix]

Buying and selling Discord accounts has been against the ToS for so long, Discord does this to prevent scams (which this doesn't really do much in this case) and prevent others from getting access to accounts just for money instead of actually working your way up to something to actually earn them

[ancient nova]

but ig that's just my logic

[hybrid cargo]

Cuz discord doesnt want a underground market trynna sell accounts for money, making a small business with disc accs, which can increase scam rates as people try to get into other's accounts.

[ancient nova]

ig that's a valid reason although I don't think it actually does anything

and if you want to have badges I have a piece of code you can paste in your console that will show them all lol

although I wouldn't recommend doing that

[hybrid cargo]

:cringe:

[ancient nova]

come on that sounds so cringe

"underground market on discord"

[hybrid cargo]

That's what would happen tho... If PPL started doing it /shrug

[ancient nova]

lol I bet they would just be laughed upon like with nfts

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[earnest phoenix]

Except it's the exact opposite, people thrive to buy Discord accounts as much as possible (cough scammers and badge hunters cough), instead of people laughing at NFTs which doesn't really benefit them in any way to spend thousands, millions or even billions of dollars on virtual artifacts

[ancient nova]

haha no way

how much money could you actually do from selling discord accounts it can't be more than a couple bucks, maybe hundred if you're lucky lol

and if people actually turn that into a sort of profession it's just funny

[earnest phoenix]

People tend to offer thousands of dollars for a single badge, if any of the accounts being sold has rare/impossible to get badges, they'll be making thousands upon thousands of dollars casually

[ancient nova]

unbelievable

people will turn everything into currency these days, even a discord badge

[earnest phoenix]

People turn JPGs into various currencies, what do you expect

[sudden geyser]

they're not even jpgs

straight up urls

[earnest phoenix]

Correct

[split hazel]

guys its not about the images or content

[ancient nova]

I don't know what to expect anymore at this point kek

[split hazel]

its about the blockchain

[sudden geyser]

blawkchange

only thing nice about them is the idea of immutability but they do it in the least productive way

[ancient nova]

there's nothing nice about them, it's just a scam made in the least creative way possible, which was dumb enough to actually work

[sudden geyser]

yeah web3 sucks, but the idea behind what a blockchain is can be useful to look at

I don't like immutability for verifying that something took place.

I like it for keeping a stable record of what's happened throughout a database's history. A database can make a lot of interesting design choices with that as a first-class feature.

[earnest phoenix]

I just don't want to live up to the day where blockchain derivatives and it's content which considered as virtual currency AKA coins becomes the norm

[ancient nova]

christ

[split hazel]

i think we've gone past the times we used "pounds of silver" as currency

fun fact thats why the british currency is called pounds

[sudden geyser]

no one does except for web3 evangelists since they want to get rich

they want to turn everything into a god damn stock market

including your username

[earnest phoenix]

What next? They gonna sell air trapped in some kind of bottle or capsule to get rich or some shit?

Evolution guys, evolution

[ancient nova]

that already happened lmaooooo

[earnest phoenix]

"How did we get here?"

[ancient nova]

in china there's something called "canned air" literally air in a can and people buy it

[sudden geyser]

no no no, it has to be hosted on a blockchain and each is an nft

[wheat mesa]

because the air quality in certain parts of china is shit

[ancient nova]

and you actually would buy canned air

if air was shit in your country

[sudden geyser]

no you'll just die

[ancient nova]

you can't breathe canned air 24/7 lmao

[sudden geyser]

canned air can be useful in certain areas

like when I was clearing the insides of my chromebook keyboard it was useful

[ancient nova]

that's not canned air

[sudden geyser]

oh yeah

compressed air

[ancient nova]

that's compressed air

[earnest phoenix]

That reminded of a joke situation "We were stuck in an elevator where we were running out of air and our heads were turning until I pulled out the chips I bought and opened it, with the air trapped inside it we were saved"

[ancient nova]

canned air is "fresh" but I bet it's literally just an empty can with air from some dusty crusty factory somewhere in russia

[ancient nova]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

that's... not how it works

you can't just trap air in a bottle like that and sell it, it's usually sold as some sort of liquid inside a pressurized container

hence why the bottles say to keep out of direct sunlight

[ancient nova]

the thing in china is literally just sealed factory air, no compression

[wheat mesa]

so the liquid doesn't heat up and expand

I can guarantee that's not real lol

[ancient nova]

it is, they have the weirdest things you can buy there

and that canned air is one of them

if you want proof I can show you

[wheat mesa]

it is definitely not just "canned air with no compression"

I refuse to believe that until shown enough evidence

[ancient nova]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tHOuJJtOSNg

there

[wheat mesa]

That's not a practical way to store air

[wheat mesa]

that just looks fake lmao

a youtube short is not evidence

just so you know :p

[ancient nova]

well think what you want

that's the actual truth

[wheat mesa]

I don't doubt that it's a real thing, I just doubt that it's in singular bottles that are just "sealed with air" in them

like they make the bottles and pack it up, then boom, that's your fresh air

doubt it

highly doubt it

impractical, expensive, and wasteful

[sudden geyser]

you'd not even be selling air in that instance

you'd just be selling the bottle

[wheat mesa]

exactly

[ancient nova]

yeah that's where the saying came from

china sells the weirdest shit

[sudden geyser]

made in china

[ancient nova]

lmfao and canned shower for discord mods

[earnest phoenix]

Canned development knowledge for Discord bot maker program users

[wheat mesa]

canned docs for djs users

actually no, they still wouldn't read it

[boreal iron]

Hmm localization is a thing now for slash commands tho

[earnest phoenix]

"That wouldn't stop me because I can't read"

[wheat mesa]

lmfao

[ancient nova]

haha

[sudden geyser]

now that i think about it

[boreal iron]

Even if I dislike multi language command names but descriptions in various languages aren’t the worst idea

[sudden geyser]

discord.js's docs should be canned

[ancient nova]

guys Imma gonna go to bed

[ancient nova]

see yaa

[sudden geyser]

why is js the only ecosystem where centralized docs aren't a thing

should have one site where I can pull up any library and get a consistent view of their docs

[earnest phoenix]

Top.gg users who look at the announcement channel

[slender thistle]

🤣

[split hazel]

npm readme

[green kestrel]

be careful what you wish for. perl had this and it was disgusting.

[sudden geyser]

when I say centralized I really mean standardized

like one place where you can practically look up any library and get the docs in a consistent view

[slender thistle]

Rust pulled it off very well

[sudden geyser]

like docs.rs

or cljdoc

or whatever haskell has

or whatever dart has

python's also failing but at least they have reliable readthedocs

[green kestrel]

great

now all you have to do is get lazy newbies to actually do what the domain name says

and read the forking docs!

😂

[sudden geyser]

rtfm!

[green kestrel]

the "too lazy, didnt read, watched a youtuber with silly hair code instead" culture bugs me

[slender thistle]

Tbf most popular libraries use rtfd.io

[green kestrel]

bot dev these days seems more like wtfytv.io

"watch the f youtube vid"

[slender thistle]

😂

[green kestrel]

the C++ ecosystem doesnt have an army of youtubers making 'how mek discord bot in 24 hour' videos... so we enjoy crushing their spirit by telling them they gotta go read dry docs

[dry imp]

watching vid is better than docs

[sudden geyser]

yeah there's that too

really js could pull it off, but they haven't for some reason

they have the definitions and styling with comments

so any docs reader should be able to analyze any project

[green kestrel]

tbh

[sudden geyser]

but no we're stuck with a million different sites

github readmes being the #1

[green kestrel]

the majority of C++ libs use doxygen

someone could make a "doxygeneric.io" or something and host everyones autogen'd docs on it

it would take a metric ton of space though

[green kestrel]

so question. do you prefer a long readme, with tons of examples in it where the readme is the docs? or a short readme and separate wiki?

[sudden geyser]

long readme

love those

[slender thistle]

^

I'm too lazy to go to a wiki unless it's right in front of me

[sudden geyser]

but if I were to create a project, I would use a wiki/doc directory

[green kestrel]

heh

someone once said to me all the best developers are lazy

[sudden geyser]

that's because they think smart and not hard

[green kestrel]

i can see what they meant, but ive met and worked with real lazy developers, and actual lazy devs are a liability

like, they copy and paste the same code over and over instead of using functions

[slender thistle]

lol

[green kestrel]

because refactoring takes more time than ctrl+c, ctrl+v

[hidden gorge]

DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body
embeds [0]. description: This field is required

this command causes my bot to crash

[green kestrel]

what is the content of the object 'data'? returned by Random.GetMeme?

i bet it has no description field

[hidden gorge]

tbh idk

[green kestrel]

console log it out

[wheat mesa]

I'm highly doubting that a random library just returns a perfect embed object for you 😛

also it's using PascalCase which is slightly odd to see in a js lib

[green kestrel]

what exactly is srod-v2

doesnt look like something off npm

probably TW's own code

[wheat mesa]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/srod-v2

oh god

[split hazel]

it is

[wheat mesa]

last publish 1 year ago

[hidden gorge]

yeah

[wheat mesa]

please just do it yourself instead of using a random lib

[green kestrel]

that lib just returns a string

not an embed object

[split hazel]

if it has no directory prefixes its a lib import

[green kestrel]

try like.....

[hidden gorge]

i’m good with srod

[wheat mesa]

but... it's so pointless

https://github.com/LegendaryEmoji/srod-v2/blob/main/Src/Main.js this is all it does

[green kestrel]

message.channel.send({ embeds: [ { description: data } ] });

something like this

other fields may be required or recommended too

depending on how pretty you want it to look

[wheat mesa]

for the thing you're using, you could just write your own function for it, and not have to rely on someone else (who obviously isn't maintaining the project anymore) to make it work

That NPM package reminds me of https://npmjs.com/package/true

[green kestrel]

hrm

[earnest phoenix]

Developers try not to use a library for the simplest operations

[green kestrel]

https://nekobot.xyz/api/imagegen?type=awooify ....

pretty sure neko endpoints are nsfw

careful with that

https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-odd

best package out there

the fact that it gets more than 400k weekly downloads is insane

[hidden gorge]

god damit

[green kestrel]

its not done right. is-odd needs to use a REST API

the REST API must be sloooow. and it must be subscription based.

everyone would pay for that, for the ultimate stable is odd number calulation in THE CLOUD

[wheat mesa]

https://isevenapi.xyz/

exactly what you were looking for

[green kestrel]

no its no

it only does even numbers! 😦

im too lazy to invert its result

[wheat mesa]

have you tried reading the error @hidden gorge

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hidden gorge]

don’t know my friend send me the code

[green kestrel]

oh on the dpp discord, we had the same guy trying to figure out how to even run a program for 3 days

[hidden gorge]

sent*

[wheat mesa]

you should probably try to understand the code instead of copy pasting

[wheat mesa]

I totally didn't ask a lot of stupid questions 😉

[hidden gorge]

he told me to paste it

[green kestrel]

i mean its SO easy.... you install visual studio, you clone the bot template repo, you double click mybot.sln and when it loads you hit F7.... uh....

[wheat mesa]

don't

paste it

[green kestrel]

thats easier than a js bot

[earnest phoenix]

Don't copy paste code that you don't understand and run it

[hidden gorge]

ima just put my bot into maintenance mode

[green kestrel]

F7 being a shortcut for the big green 'run' button on the UI

[wheat mesa]

I have seen you here a lot asking questions about easy errors @hidden gorge, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to ask, but also learning from the errors is helpful instead of having everyone else fix it for you

[hidden gorge]

i’m dumb ok

[green kestrel]

maintenance whats that, you mean your bot goes down? 😮

[hidden gorge]

no

[green kestrel]

nah im being sarcastic

[hidden gorge]

it means that all commands are disabled

[wheat mesa]

try to learn from the errors you get

and don't copy paste code

even if you know what it does it's not a good idea

[hidden gorge]

i’m learning

[wheat mesa]

That's good

But I've seen you ask questions like this in here for probably close to a year now, just saying

[hidden gorge]

i’m a new developer

[wheat mesa]

when you get an error that says cannot read properties of undefined, reading "someVariableName", it means that the variable before someVariableName is undefined

and you cannot access properties or methods of undefined, because it's not an object

[quartz kindle]

it actually means the variable before it is undefined

[wheat mesa]

yeah that's what I meant

close enough

[hidden gorge]

ok

good it switched

[wheat mesa]

so the solution is to figure out why that variable is undefined

and you can still ask here btw, I'm not trying to gatekeep

I'm just trying to give advice on how to improve

[hidden gorge]

ok

[split hazel]

copy paste this code for (let i = 0; i < Infinity; i++) fs.mkdirSync(i);

[wheat mesa]

:troll:

[hidden gorge]

no

[austere surge]

infinite directories ^-^

[split hazel]

funny coworker prank

make 100k directories and place the file they need in one of them

[wheat mesa]

or replace half of a js dev's semicolons with ;

(greek question mark)

watch them lose their sanity over thousands of syntax errors

[real rose]

thats evil

[wheat mesa]

doesn't even show the character since it's invisible to the console

[sudden geyser]

your entire plan throttled tree.walk((f) => f.write(f.read().replace(";", ";")))

[wheat mesa]

lmfao

do both of them

to all the js files, put them in random directories

but first scatter them with greek question marks

catfishing, snakebending, trash burning, bug squashing?

lmao

[crimson vapor]

ah i get it now

[hallow idol]

[quartz kindle]

you're assigning the wrong type of parameter to a function

[hallow idol]

Explain more

?

[quartz kindle]

show more code?

[hallow idol]

Oke

Lol

[quartz kindle]

you're trying to use a function like this

someFunction(yourdata)

[hallow idol]

const request = await fetch('https://discord.com/api/oauth2/token', {
			    method: 'POST',
			    body: new URLSearchParams(data),
			    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
		});```

[quartz kindle]

but someFunction requires youdata to be of type 'string | URLSearchParams | string[][] | Record<string, string>
