I will not use replit

I would rather shoot myself in the foot

[boreal iron]

How about your pants down?

[pallid zinc]

Azure cloud

[boreal iron]

To make a dirty deal

[wheat mesa]

replit is quite possibly the worst service I have ever used for development in my entire life

[wheat mesa]

unfortunately I am not the age of consent 🤨

[boreal iron]

As next you should recommend Oracle and Google and we got all shit covert

[boreal iron]

Damn

Could have opened a lot of doors for you

[wheat mesa]

I'm using oracle for hosting my bot on a vps because they have a forever free plan that won't sneakily charge you $1000 without you knowing

[slender thistle]

SkySilk has stuff for 3 bucks a month

But it's VPS

Not sure if that's what you want

[wheat mesa]

I mean would it be a bad idea to host it on my oracle vps

[boreal iron]

A free vps must be a very good one

[wheat mesa]

there's no complex api or anything, just a portfolio with a few nextjs routes

[slender thistle]

Glitch!

[pallid zinc]

Replit

[wheat mesa]

No

why isn't markdown working

(from a bot)

[boreal iron]

Doesn’t look like an embed

[spark flint]

it works outside of embeds

[wheat mesa]

it doesn't

[boreal iron]

No

[spark flint]

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/VnECfbVI.png

i use on my bot

[wheat mesa]

wtf

[boreal iron]

It shouldn’t

[earnest phoenix]

👀

[spark flint]

[wheat mesa]

that definitely should not be working

[lament rock]

Webhooks can use text styling outside of embeds

[boreal iron]

Instant report to discord, you’re abusing the system

[spark flint]

maybe only works on slash commands?

[lament rock]

It only works on webhooks

[boreal iron]

And embeds

[spark flint]

my bot deffo isn't a webhook

[lament rock]

slash commands route through webhooks

[spark flint]

oh

ah ok

[boreal iron]

Lemme verify that

Aye he didn’t lie to us

[lament rock]

ofc

[boreal iron]

we can never be sure in here

[spark flint]

lol

[wheat mesa]

:C

[boreal iron]

[lament rock]

[wheat mesa]

I'll scare you away with java

[boreal iron]

You already did when telling me you use the oracle cloud

[wheat mesa]

I use it for hosting my shitty bot

Because it's free and I never have to look back at it or worry about getting charged for going over my bandwidth limit or anything

Broke student life can't take any chances

[boreal iron]

lol

[pallid zinc]

You got any open source and free project?

[wheat mesa]

wdym

I have a few open source projects but none of them are actively being worked on

[boreal iron]

You could use my dirty services but that would bring us back to your pants and your age

[pallid zinc]

You can get free hosting for open source projects

[wheat mesa]

In less than 2 months I will be the age of consent to be fair

[boreal iron]

lmao

[lament rock]

I am still tempted to make an api where people can use some of my custom LavaLink nodes since I have a ton of headroom

[pallid zinc]

Then use it for portfolio

[wheat mesa]

With what? I do plan to open source my portfolio webpage

[pallid zinc]

Fosshost.org

Ig

They provide services for open source projects

[boreal iron]

Say its free and let them sign 5000 sites long tos charging cash from them

[wheat mesa]

That looks promising

I'll look into that

But I'm not sure if my personal portfolio website would fall under their umbrella of good use cases of their service haha

[lament rock]

it'll probably be a private api like weeb.sh is

but ofc people would be able to apply

[pallid zinc]

Reason i asked if you have worked on some open source projects before

[boreal iron]

Hmm I see no real business man in here

[pallid zinc]

True

[lament rock]

I'm not about money or votes you know

[wheat mesa]

I mean I have a few projects on github that are open source but I don't actively contribute to them nor does anyone else

[pallid zinc]

Pulling pants was better then filling 29 forms

[wheat mesa]

The only legitimate project that I really have open sourced is probably this https://github.com/Jwaffled/MathExpressionParsing

Which I don't really plan on working on for a while anyways

[boreal iron]

That makes me sad, money is the one and only in the capitalism we’re all living in

[lament rock]

I already have a job paying for everything

[boreal iron]

There’s never enough cash

[lament rock]

you think people would want to pay for an api of lavalink nodes other people use instead of just buying their own node

[pallid zinc]

Like, who knows if they approve your request just apply

[boreal iron]

No I think you should offer it as free service, let them sign your contract and charge them after doing so

[lament rock]

No that's stupid

going through payment providers is also stupid

[boreal iron]

I see, can’t recruit scammers in here

[lament rock]

You'd be better off with the callers trying to tell you about your car's extended warranty you never knew you had

[boreal iron]

lol

[wheat mesa]

I don't fall under this umbrella unfortunately

I could still apply but I'll have to look at my other options first

[pallid zinc]

Hmm

[wheat mesa]

Thanks for the suggestion though

[boreal iron]

What do you actually need?

[wheat mesa]

Just some host for a portfolio site made in react

I've already got a domain

[cinder patio]

github pages?

[spark flint]

netlify works

[wheat mesa]

Thought they only did static sites though..?

[wheat mesa]

I've been looking at netlify, I'll have to do a little more research on them

[spark flint]

https://www.netlify.com/with/react/

[cinder patio]

unless you're doing SSR, your portfolio should be static

[wheat mesa]

SSR

Actually no

I'm not using SSR on second thought

[cinder patio]

Then github pages could work for you

[wheat mesa]

It is however configured with nextjs

To define routes and such

[pallid zinc]

Needless bro ✨

[lament rock]

Just drop that and have a static website

[cinder patio]

then just npx next export and next.js will turn it into a static site UNLESS you have an API

[wheat mesa]

Yeah on 3rd thought I think I'm using some sort of SSR, the site looks very wrong when it's exported as static

[cinder patio]

how does it look

[wheat mesa]

normally would look like this

instead looks like

[cinder patio]

Add

assetPrefix: "./",

to your next.config.js

[wheat mesa]

rebuilding it rq

works... sorta

I think I'm going to just go with a host like netlify or something

I'm not done with the website yet anyways

[cinder patio]

It should work fine if you don't have any API routes

and only pages

[wheat mesa]

The svg background isn't there and I'd have to refactor all my links and such so for now I'm not gonna worry about it

[cinder patio]

Refactor links?

[wheat mesa]

They're not relative links, they point to routes in the url whereas it needs to point to files when it's static

I'll try fixing that rq

yeah I'll fix that later

I'm gonna take a break for a bit

been working on this a little bit too much and I don't wanna get burned out over config stuff

[proven lantern]

vercel is a good website host

[tulip ledge]

Anyone knows how to solve driver state failure bluescreen? Can't find a recent guide on how to fix it

[quartz kindle]

thats usually caused by a bad driver

[tulip ledge]

yeah I found 3 drivers built for older windows versions do I just download the updated versions of them?

[crystal wigeon]

hey um, quick question. So i have a global var with Map() with some values. lets say this map has some 1k key -> value pairs. and this Map will keep getting more values over time. now my question is. If i remove certain keys at a certain time, will it cause memory leak. so far im suspecting this global var is the root of my memory leak issues im having which stores upto 10k+ props

[quartz kindle]

i'd first uninstall them from the device manager then restart the pc

and see what windows does with them

[tulip ledge]

should I make a backup first?

[quartz kindle]

shouldnt be necessary

[tulip ledge]

alright

[quartz kindle]

depends on a few things

[crystal wigeon]

so like all the props will store is key -> numeric of 0 - 3

ex: 123123213 => 1

[quartz kindle]

if you're storing objects, and those objects also exist elsewhere, if you delete them they will still exist elsewhere

other than that, Map uses a hash table behind the scenes, and hash tables grow by a specific amount every time the number of items reaches a certain limit

for example lets day your Map has 60 items, and the Map internally has a max size of 128, and a threshold of 80

once you reach 80 items, the Map will be internally resized to max 256

[tulip ledge]

I can't find them in device manager?

[quartz kindle]

so the memory usage of a Map does not only depend on the items it stores, but how big the table is as well

[crystal wigeon]

i see

makes sense

[quartz kindle]

and usually these kinds of tables do not get smaller when items are deleted, idk how they do it in js

[crystal wigeon]

i was thinking the size could remain the same when i delete some of these itmes once their purpose is served

or when i no longer need them

keeping the size to a minimal constant

[quartz kindle]

yeah that shouldnt be a problem

[crystal wigeon]

gotcha thanks, i'll try this out

[tulip ledge]

Do I delete them from the Sys32 folder or is that the most retarded thing to do?

[quartz kindle]

they usually belong to something that might be under a different name

for example badlionanticheat.sys is from an anti cheat software used in many games like minecraft hypixel

[tulip ledge]

yeah but I doubt that's the one causing the blue screen as I haven't launched minecraft in like a year

It's the cdd or nwifi that's causing it I think

but I can't seem to find either one

[quartz kindle]

nwifi is usually your wifi chip, under networks

cdd looks to be some kind of screen/display/monitor thing?

[tulip ledge]

could I just update it directly using https://wikidll.com/microsoft/cdd-dll ?

[quartz kindle]

no

drivers often have multiple dlls and sys files, you risk breaking it completely if you change one of them but not the others

[tulip ledge]

oh ok

so do I remove on of these?

[quartz kindle]

you can try running a driver scanner software to scan for outdated drivers

like drivereasy or those craps

[quartz kindle]

no those are gpus

[tulip ledge]

i'll just install drivereasy

[quartz kindle]

screen drivers, if they exist, should show here

most times they are not even needed tho

[earnest phoenix]

can somone help with top.gg

[tulip ledge]

holy fuck like all of my drivers are out of date

[quartz kindle]

show them

you dont necessarily need to update all of them

and its not always better to update them with the software

[quartz kindle]

sometimes the software makes mistakes

[quartz kindle]

is it a laptop or a desktop?

[tulip ledge]

laptop

those are all out of date

[quartz kindle]

i would download most of them from your laptop's maker website

[tulip ledge]

so asus

[quartz kindle]

yeah, go to asus and look for your laptop's model number in their website and see what drivers they have there

after you install the drivers from there, you can try scanning again and see whats left

[tulip ledge]

well

thats funny

guess it doesn't exist

[quartz kindle]

https://www.asus.com/me-en/SupportOnly/ASUS TUF Gaming FX504/HelpDesk_Download/

[tulip ledge]

I just download all of them?

some of them are folders and I have no clue what to do with them

[glass charm]

does anyone know how do i show the server count like in the example?

[spark flint]

post your server count using the API

https://docs.top.gg

[glass charm]

can you tell me how to do that exactly? or send a link from the exact page please?

[spark flint]

what language is your bot

[glass charm]

javascript

[spark flint]

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

specifically https://docs.top.gg/libraries/javascript/#posting-bot-stats

[quartz kindle]

not all of them

there are different editions and different versions of the same laptop model, so they just put all the drivers together, but not all drivers are the correct ones for your specific device

for example they have drivers for both intel wifi and realtek wifi

you just need the one your laptop has

which is intel wireless

[glass charm]

@spark flint does it take some time to show it there?

or its instant

[quartz kindle]

other than that, they also give you multiple versions of the same driver, so you can just download the latest one

[spark flint]

yeah

[proven lantern]

Is there a possibility that discord.js-light is caching the results of this?

client.shard.fetchClientValues('guilds.cache.size')

[glass charm]

@spark flint so if my bot console logs the posted stats i just gotta wait a bit right? i used the code below and puted my token too

const { AutoPoster } = require('topgg-autoposter')

const ap = AutoPoster('', client)

ap.on('posted', () => {
  console.log('Posted stats to Top.gg!')
})

[spark flint]

yep

takes a while for the site cache to clear

[glass charm]

ok, thank you

[quartz kindle]

shouldnt be possible no

there is no caching on those functions afaik

[proven lantern]

mmkay, i'll look see if i'm doing some weird caching.

i have this in a setInterval call and total is always logging as the same value on my server. only changes when i reset

[quartz kindle]

hmm weird

btw that try catch is not doing anything

[boreal iron]

1.44e+7

Pretty human readable

[proven lantern]

i was awaiting before

i should just remove that comment

[quartz kindle]

try broadcasteval instead of fetchclientvalues

[proven lantern]

and the interval function was async

mmmkay

eval?

evil?

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[proven lantern]

const results = await client.shard.broadcastEval(c => c.guilds.cache.reduce((acc, guild) => acc + 1, 0))```
this seems to work

also this

[quartz kindle]

dude

await client.shard.broadcastEval(c => c.guilds.cache.size)

lmao

[proven lantern]

that's too simple

[quartz kindle]

also, if you want to catch errors properly in that interval, either use .catch() or make it async () =>

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[proven lantern]

ohh

i think i know what i was doing

my setinterval was async like this and it cached the result of the promise

but it still logged somehow

like thisjs const p = new Promise((resolve)=>{resolve(Math.random())}) setInterval(async () => { console.log(await p) }, 1000)

[quartz kindle]

yeah like that you're creating 1 promise and then resolving the same promise over and over

[proven lantern]

it's weird that the console.log still happened even though it's cached

[quartz kindle]

why is it weird?

its logging something every 1 second like it should

[proven lantern]

for this part. the loggin inside updateServerCount happened

but actually it's a function that returns a promise so it shouldn't be cached

[quartz kindle]

the only way to make it cache the results of the guilds cache would be if you did this ```js
const promise = client.shard.fetchClientValues(...);
setInterval(() => {
await promise;
}, 999)

[quartz kindle]

yeah that should be fine

[fallen holly]

code
https://pastebin.com/BAPuAQ6t

idk what's wrong with it

[boreal iron]

The property in front of the startsWith method is undefined

as the error says

[quartz kindle]

in your messageCreate.js file, at line 17

it seems message is not a valid message

[spark flint]

you probably want async execute(client, message, Discord)

as the normal order is client, message not message, client

[quartz kindle]

depends on how his eventHandlers.js was done

[wheat mesa]

Why are you guys passing client and Discord in

Quite possibly the most useless function params

Access client through message.client

[spark flint]

idek

[spark flint]

https://just-read.it/ moment

[fallen holly]

i changed it but its not working no err or anything

[boreal iron]

[fallen holly]

this is my handler
https://pastebin.com/iJRNhBCc

[spark flint]

we need the messageCreate event

where the command gets executed

[fallen holly]

aight but it's not even throwing an err

[quartz kindle]

where is eventHandlers.js?

[boreal iron]

Does it by any chance not start with your prefix?

As you return nothing there

_case sensitive _

Don’t forget that

[fallen holly]

it starts with my prefix

[neat ingot]

you should (imo) use an async file loader, and use a custom 'require' function to reload the file each time its called, rather than use the cached version. then your exported module can be reloaded to reload commands when changed, instead of the bot having to reboot.

^ forces fresh require

[boreal iron]

that function name

lol

[spark flint]

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/FAZfUydy.png

how to stop the divs overlapping

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/hhOpYC1g.png

[boreal iron]

What are they “relative” to?

[spark flint]

idek

i was looking at stack overflow

[boreal iron]

Then remove the position class

[spark flint]

i did now

still the same

[boreal iron]

Divs don’t stack if you don’t change their position property

[spark flint]

still the same

[boreal iron]

my gosh 4th edit

[spark flint]

lol

[boreal iron]

centered might also be a position change

[spark flint]

ah

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/U9rmYar5.png

i think thats why

[boreal iron]

Aye

[spark flint]

idk how to center then

needs to be in middle of the page

[boreal iron]

Well just margin one of them

First div

margin-top: -50px

Ugly but works

[quartz kindle]

you want to center vertically?

[spark flint]

yeah

[boreal iron]

display: table
margin: 0 auto

[radiant kraken]

have you tried using flexboxes?

[quartz kindle]

well, one option is to use a negative margin-top which is exactly 50% of the height of the div, but tht requires the div to have a fixed height

or just use flexbox

[spark flint]

no

because stupid

me

i'm stupid

[radiant kraken]

[quartz kindle]

flexbox is like

[spark flint]

flex justify-center items-center h-screen

found that

[quartz kindle]

the magic fix for every single thing

[radiant kraken]

^

[quartz kindle]

that has troubled people for decades

[spark flint]

how do i put on new line

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/ALa2308F.png

[quartz kindle]

you put them in a container

[radiant kraken]

try to change the order of the flexbox iirc

[quartz kindle]

<body or whatever with flex>
  <div>
    <p>hey there</p>
    <p>i code shit</p>
  </div>
</body>

the container div will be aligned by the flexbox

the text lines will be independent

[radiant kraken]

remove the "shit" in the desc too

[spark flint]

why

[spark flint]

epic that worked

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/dmTxmTCA.png

[radiant kraken]

because it isn't true

i hate it when people self deprecate in their portfolios

[quartz kindle]

what if it is true

:^)

[spark flint]

it is very true

[radiant kraken]

no

[spark flint]

my code is just like "it just about works"

[radiant kraken]

so does every developer

[quartz kindle]

just change it to "i code nice things"

btw

the word "shit" can mean good things as well

[spark flint]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

"i code the shit"

"i code cool shit"

[spark flint]

i generally mean i code shit as in like i code stuff

shit can mean stuff

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/EkrjrkZm.png also why no center text

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/q3THvVoS.png

[quartz kindle]

https://tenor.com/SkA3.gif

because u dumbo

[spark flint]

yes

am stupid

[quartz kindle]

you didnt add justify center and items center

[spark flint]

because I don't want it in the middle on this bit

[quartz kindle]

then where do you want it

[radiant kraken]

[spark flint]

ah wait

just justify-center this time

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/mAuWOxbA.gif

[quartz kindle]

not bad

[radiant kraken]

see

it's not shit

[quartz kindle]

also, if you wanna learn more about flexboxes, check this out

https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

[spark flint]

better than http://bigbun.dev/

[radiant kraken]

looks like a github readme

[spark flint]

lol

[fallen holly]

in messageCreate right

[boreal iron]

Ewww, some magical css3 stuff

We build our fundaments on solid css2 and not magical aligning stuff

[slender thistle]

Grid ass looking mf

[boreal iron]

I hope that’s 100% viewport height, if not any other resolution won’t look like that but like weird space between those texts

[spark flint]

yep

[boreal iron]

Thing don’t happen magically, unless you’re a witch

[spark flint]

https://omg-its.blahaj.wtf/g3MTF2nf.gif

[boreal iron]

You know what means sir

Oh no color changing text

[slender thistle]

Flex it.

[boreal iron]

Shut up or I’m gonna flex you

[slender thistle]

Yes da

[boreal iron]

Stop with your magical properties or I’m gonna call the catholic church and tell them about your magic tricks

Css3 is evil

[radiant kraken]

I use HTML4 for backwards-compatibility

[boreal iron]

lol

[woeful pike]

there's a ton of stuff html5 got rid of tho so

[simple stump]

Is there a package similar to Puppeteer that doesn't launch Chromium? The reason for this is that I host my NodeJS projects on a VPS which only has 2GB of RAM, so even running in headless takes a good 30 seconds before Chromium is actually finished loading. This is going to send sketch but I'm asking because I'm attempting to web scrape a website that utilizes lazy-loading, so using Axios isn't enough.

[quartz kindle]

did you try looking into the network tab and see if the data you want can be found on any subrequests?

[sharp geyser]

Any idea on how I can make the button center?

      <Container style={{minHeight: "85vh", display: "flex", margin: "auto", alignItems: "center"}}>
          <Avatar className={'mr-5'} radius="lg" size="xl" src="https://imgs.search.brave.com/Q1JPL__FReDNKqetfnrYnBMKYs-uB8OwCnE6G55y7LE/rs:fit:1200:1200:1/g:ce/aHR0cDovL3dhbGxz/ZGVzay5jb20vd3At/Y29udGVudC91cGxv/YWRzLzIwMTcvMDEv/RG9nLWZ1bGwtSEQu/anBn" />
          <div className={'flex-wrap'}>
              <h1 className={'text-2xl'}>Hello I'm Aaron and I'm {age}</h1>
              <p className={'text-lg'}>I'm a small time developer who enjoys working on random projects. I also love nature and watching MacGyver.</p>
              <Button>Click Me</Button>
          </div>
      </Container>

[wheat mesa]

use a grid and be lazy

<Grid>
  <Grid.Col span={2} offset={5}>
    <Button>Click Me</Button>
  </Grid.Col>
</Grid>
``` something like that

[sharp geyser]

Mmmm

Never touched the grids in it but I can try

[neat ingot]

cant you just 'mx-auto'?

[sharp geyser]

Apparently not

[neat ingot]

.mx-auto{margin-right:auto!important;margin-left:auto!important}```

[sharp geyser]

Should I use grid for the other stuff as well? At least that would make sense to me

Also wtf does span do?

[wheat mesa]

how many columns the column takes up

grid component uses 12 cols by default

like bootstrap grid

[wheat mesa]

depends on what you're looking for

personally I use grid for basically everything

really easy to lay out and visualize

though beware they can cause your page to overflow due to the fact that they have a -8px margin by default

[sharp geyser]

I see

[wheat mesa]

which I usually fix by wrapping the app

[sharp geyser]

I think for this use case it is fine how it is

[wheat mesa]

              <Box id={"box-container"}>
                  <Grid m={0}>
                      <Grid.Col span={12}>
                          <Component {...pageProps} />
                      </Grid.Col>
                  </Grid>
              </Box>

[sharp geyser]

      <Container style={{minHeight: "85vh", display: "flex", margin: "auto", alignItems: "center"}}>
          <Avatar className={'mr-5'} radius="lg" size="xl" src="https://imgs.search.brave.com/Q1JPL__FReDNKqetfnrYnBMKYs-uB8OwCnE6G55y7LE/rs:fit:1200:1200:1/g:ce/aHR0cDovL3dhbGxz/ZGVzay5jb20vd3At/Y29udGVudC91cGxv/YWRzLzIwMTcvMDEv/RG9nLWZ1bGwtSEQu/anBn" />
          <div className={'flex-wrap'}>
              <h1 className={'text-2xl'}>Hello I'm Aaron and I'm {age}</h1>
              <p className={'text-lg'}>I'm a small time developer who enjoys working on random projects. I also love nature and watching MacGyver.</p>
              <Grid>
                  <Grid.Col span={2} offset={5}>
                      <Button color={'gray'} variant={'subtle'}>Click Me</Button>
                  </Grid.Col>

          </div>
      </Container>

this is how I have it rn

it works so

just not responsive at all but 🤷‍♀️

[gloomy vessel]

any reason why the background wont change?

[bright thorn]

Why its not sending true emper...

am new in slash

🥲

[graceful yacht]

hi

[pallid zinc]

based on the docs ig ephemeral only works with reply

plus you can only send reply/defer for first time and then send new followup

[bright thorn]

got it

[pale vessel]

follow up should support ephemeral

[slender thistle]

It should yeah

It does, actually. A friend of mine has a bot that uses ephemeral messages on follow-ups

[pallid zinc]

I checked guilds too

[old cliff]

I think for that the main reply should also be ephemeral

[bright hornet]

https://sourceb.in/5B7LOx0Ug3, someone knows why leaderboard is not accurate?

because you're looping through the results without sorting them

is at least what im seeing

you're also sorting by either the wallet or bank, then looping through the results, then summing it together when adding it

[neat ingot]

['wallet' + 'bank', 'descending'] === ['walletbank', 'descending'] ~ pretty sure thats not what you intended.

[bright hornet]

i wanted to do to join force the wallet and bank to get the leaderboard

[neat ingot]

yes. but wwhat you are actually doing is adding two strings together, then sorting your database by a 'key' that doesnt exist.

[slender thistle]

walletbankdescending is walletbankdescending yes

How am I able to check how many bytes are in a variable in Javascript?

Couldn’t find anything online.

[bright hornet]

so i should follow the code u given?

[pale oasis]

I’ll just use C nevermind.

[neat ingot]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/11900218

there are literally hundreds of results to that google search 😂

idk how custom objects work with such calculations tho

how well*

[pale oasis]

Huh.

[neat ingot]

I didnt give code. i identified your issue 🙂

[pale oasis]

So everyone just counts the length by using .length and passing it as bytes?

[neat ingot]

the length or what?

of*

[pale oasis]

Read one of the answers.

[bright hornet]

oh ok ok

[pale oasis]

Someone actually made C’s sizeof() available to javascript, and turned it into an NPM package. Well, maybe. They probably use the same syntax.

[neat ingot]

yes, strings length are multiplied by 2 to determine the size in bytes ~ in both the one i shared, and the npm module you mention

[quartz kindle]

javascript (v8 specifically) uses dynamic containers to hold various types of data. obtaining the real memory size of a javascript value depends on many factors

for example, there are a few different container types for strings alone, depending on what characters the string has and how it was constructed

the real size of a simple string with n ASCII characters (8 bit per character) is 12 + 4 * Math.ceil(n/4)

"" takes 12 bytes
"1" through "1234" take 16 bytes
"12345" through "12345678" take 20 bytes
"123456789" takes 24 bytes, and so on.

all containers are rounded to the next multiple of size_t, so in 64 bit systems, all data sizes are rounded up to the next multiple of 8

an example of all the different string type containers in v8

the same goes for numbers, there are several different containers for them, like SMI, Double, HeapNumber
there are also 6 different types of arrays depending on its contents, etc...

but if you're using a different engine, ie firefox uses spidermonkey and not v8, then its likely gonna be completely different rules

[pale oasis]

I’m using Edge’s Chakra. So I’ll have to google all these rules online for the engine I’m using.

[quartz kindle]

edge doesnt use chakra anymore

[pale oasis]

I haven’t bothered to update.
I’m using a very old version. 🥲

the bots you're looking for in here are not here

[neat ingot]

v8 has 6 different array types under the hood? i can legit only think of 2: regular arrays and linked list type arrays lol

wth lmao

[quartz kindle]

yes

packed smi = array of small integers

packed double = array of numbers

packed elements = array of non-numbers or mixed types

holeys are non-sequencial arrays, arrays with holes

[neat ingot]

but you can have holey arrays too? is that only for strings?

[quartz kindle]

ie [1,,2]

[neat ingot]

ahhh

https://v8.dev/blog/elements-kinds

quite interesting tbh 😄

[quartz kindle]

yeah, and these transitions can be quite costly

so for example if you keep adding and removing different data types, the array will keep transitioning

[1,2,3] = smi
.push("a") = transition to elements
.pop() = transition to smi again

[neat ingot]

so im guessing really its just about how v8 handles the memory and collection? like, a packed smi would be easier to handle than a holey array or w.e

[quartz kindle]

yeah

also, because in C land everything has fixed byte sizes

[neat ingot]

lol yea

[quartz kindle]

an smi array has a fixed size allocated for each element

if you add a double, it has to transform the entire array into double sizes

[neat ingot]

yea, where a holey could be anything or nothing

[quartz kindle]

lets say [1,2,3,4] uses 4x 32 bits

if you do push(1.1)

it has to transform the array to doubles

[neat ingot]

yea

[quartz kindle]

meaning the whole array now uses 5x 64 bits

[neat ingot]

so it performs that op on all elements?

[quartz kindle]

and not 4x 32 + 1x 64

[neat ingot]

yea that makes sense, i think

lol

yea ok i get that

[quartz kindle]

the entire container will use the largest item as the size for all items

[split hazel]

tf is a holey elements

does it have holes

[quartz kindle]

yes

[neat ingot]

so for talking sake, lets say i have an array that has like [object, 1, 2, 3]

all elements would be 'holding' enough memory capacity based on the size of the object?

[quartz kindle]

not exactly, because object here is a pointer/reference

so its size is always size_t

[neat ingot]

ooooohhh ok

[quartz kindle]

aka 64 bit on a 64 bit cpu

but yes, all items in the array will use 64 bit because there is one 64 bit type in there

[split hazel]

how I would handle a dynamic array is uh - store elements as a fixed size struct stating its type and size and a pointer to an entry in the heap for it

hey that's what my database is gonna do

works for memory too

how are initial sizes allocated

do they get expanded over time

[quartz kindle]

likely through a hash table

im not sure what v8 uses for array indexes

[neat ingot]

👀 dang

[quartz kindle]

size went from 44 bytes to 124 bytes

hmm

i removed the "a" with .pop()

and the type didnt change

[neat ingot]

nor the bytes

[quartz kindle]

yup

[neat ingot]

it must not autoconvert it back

[quartz kindle]

added a 1.1

[neat ingot]

do another push with an int

[split hazel]

what's smi

[quartz kindle]

small integer

[split hazel]

oh so under the hood it treats numbers differently

[neat ingot]

yea, has to for floats/doubles

[quartz kindle]

this is a new array of doubles

this is after push(1)

[neat ingot]

0o

[quartz kindle]

size went from 64 to 224 lol

[neat ingot]

64->224

lol

[split hazel]

is the array ever shrinked

[quartz kindle]

interestingly

if i do a push with the same type

the size still goes to 224

[neat ingot]

so maybe the act of pushing is not optimized? 😂

[quartz kindle]

there seems to be a difference between a read-only object, and a read-write object

i popped the array until it became empty

went down to 144

did push({})

a lot of interesting things happen under the hood that we dont really understand

[neat ingot]

yea im so confuzed rn wth

it must be as you say~ based on read/read-write. its likely objects that are modified are marked as 'dirty' somehow. but you would think that the 'dirt' would be auto cleaned during gc

or maybe thats it, maybe it hasnt ran gc yet

so its still holding internal reference to elements that no longer exist

totally nailed the discord gui rip-off 😂

i've been thinking of trying out some kind of framework like vue or react or next.js. never tried any of them, seem like they could be helpful

[cinder patio]

You're telling me you did this without any frameworks? madman

[neat ingot]

dont need a framework to make an input element and get its value 😛

but no, ive never used any framework. kind of built my own over the years using ejs templating/rendering, but idk, seems like some frameworks could make things a fair bit faster

I have this function for using selenium:

async function seleniumGet(url) {
  if (!driver) {
    await startSelenium();
  }
  try {
    await driver.get(url);
    await driver.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)");
    for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
      await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.className('lazyloaded')), 5000).catch((err) => {
        console.log("Wait error");
      });
    }
    console.log("Done waiting");
    await driver.getPageSource().then(function (source) {
      resolve(source);
    });
  }
}

However, when logging the result of the function using console.log(await seleniumGet("https://myurl.com")); returns undefined. I also tried:

let src = await driver.getPageSource();
resolve(src);

But the result is still undefined. Logging await driver.getPageSource(); works fine (the page source is logged correctly), but resolving src returns undefined.

[earnest phoenix]

I think I created a directory with an array as the name

Somehow idk

But windows ain’t allowing me to delete it cause it “doesn’t exist”.

probably something that can be resolved by just restarting

whats the problem?

[simple stump]

emoji.name is undefined

[stiff dust]

I know but why?

[simple stump]

Can you send us more of your code?

[stiff dust]

there isnt any more this is the whole code

message.guild.emojis.cache is the collection of server emojis so it shouldl return emojis I dono whats going on

[quartz kindle]

for(const emoji of emojis.values())

[simple stump]

^

[quartz kindle]

or just replace your entire code with a single line:

v!eval [...message.guild.emojis.cache.values()]

[stiff dust]

<3

[stiff dust]

i want the names

[quartz kindle]

v!eval [...message.guild.emojis.cache.values()].map(x => x.name)

[stiff dust]

awsome

[quartz kindle]

v!eval message.guild.emojis.cache.map(x => x.name)
this is better

[stiff dust]

works great

[stiff dust]

why in this case we need .values()

[stiff dust]

but this one works without it?

[quartz kindle]

Collection extends Map, its default iterator works on entries, not values

but Collection has .map function built in that Map does not have, and this function iterates over values and returns an array

[stiff dust]

oh ok get it

TIM 👀

I have too many emojis and all of them start with 00 or maybe 01 so I want to remove the 00 or 01 from the emojis can u help with that?

some thing like this:

const emojis = message.guild.emojis.cache

for (const emoji of emojis.values()) {
if (emoji.name.startsWith('00')) { /* remove the 00 from it */ } 
if (emoji.name.startsWith('01')) { /* remove the 01 from it */ } 
}

[quartz kindle]

well first of all why are you putting that prefix in a global variable? that will cause issues where messages will possibly get the wrong prefix because its a race condition
other than that, you can do message.channel.send().catch(console.log) or if you want to use try catch you have to use await

and if command.run is an async function, you have to catch that as well

[hybrid wasp]

oki doki

so i just put everything inside an aync function and then just call it whenever it detects a new message?

[quartz kindle]

message.guild.emojis.cache.map(x => {
  let name = x.name;
  if(name.startsWith("00") || name.startsWith("01")) {
    name = name.slice(2);
  }
  return name;
})

[stiff dust]

tnx

[quartz kindle]

no

you want to use try catch?

[hybrid wasp]

yep

[quartz kindle]

then(() => {
v
then(async () => {

[hybrid wasp]

ohhhhhhh

[stiff dust]

no i dont want to see it in this style i want to do it emoji.setName()

const emojis = message.guild.emojis.cache

for (const emoji of emojis.values()) {
 if(emoji.name.startsWith("00") || emoji.name.startsWith("01")) {
  emoji.setName(emoji.name.slice(2)
  }
})

correct me if im wrong

[hybrid wasp]

it should look something like that?

then(async () => {
try{
//scuffed code goes here
}catch(e){
//consolelog whatever doesnt matter
}
})

[quartz kindle]

await emoji.setName(emoji.name.slice(2));

[quartz kindle]

yes, with await message.channel.send() or await command.run()

[stiff dust]

but i need async for await how can I use await here?

v!eval

const emojis = message.guild.emojis.cache
for (const emoji of emojis.values()) {
    if (emoji.name.startsWith("00") || emoji.name.startsWith("01")) await emoji.setName(emoji.name.slice(2)
})

[quartz kindle]

you need your eval command to support async

if it doesnt, then you can run a self-executing async function

eval (async () => { your code here })()

[stiff dust]

so v!eval (async () => {

const emojis = message.guild.emojis.cache
for (const emoji of emojis.values()) {
if (emoji.name.startsWith("00") || emoji.name.startsWith("01")) await emoji.setName(emoji.name.slice(2)
})

})()

should work

[quartz kindle]

yes

[hybrid wasp]

no worky

[stiff dust]

tnx alot Tim

[hybrid wasp]

    if (message.content.toLowerCase() == "@floral pumice") {
    const mentionEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
      .setColor("#fcc603")

      // message.channel.sendTyping()
      await command.run(client, message, args, prefix, db)
    }}catch(e){}
  })

what did my small brain do now

btw you still have a missing ) on setName

yeah i see

if the error is coming from message.channel.send you did not await it

i need to do in inside the command handler files too?

[boreal iron]

You’re missing the permission to post a message and/or embed

[quartz kindle]

what command is that embed from?

some kind of cat command?

[boreal iron]

At least in that channel

[quartz kindle]

if you use .then() a lot

[hybrid wasp]

cat api 🐱

[quartz kindle]

you will need to convert all of those to await

try catch only works on things that are awaited, not on things that are .then()ed

show your cat command

[hybrid wasp]

OMG

can i type

const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js")

module.exports.run = (client, message, args) => {

  const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: { 'x-api-key': `${process.env.CAT_API}` }
  };

  async function cat() {
    await fetch(`https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search`, options)
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((data) => {
        const CatEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
          .setTitle(`Cat`)
          .setURL('https://docs.thecatapi.com/')
          // .setDescription(`Requested by <@${message.member.id}>`)
          .setColor("#eba800")
          .setImage(data[0].url)
          // .setTimestamp()
          // .setFooter({
          //   text: `${message.member.user.tag}`,
          //   iconURL: `https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/${message.author.id}/${message.author.avatar}.jpeg`,
          // })
        return message.channel.send({ embeds: [CatEmbed] });
      })
  }
  cat();
};

module.exports.name = "cat";

[quartz kindle]

either do return cat() or await cat()

[hybrid wasp]

so everytime i return a message

just return or await

[hybrid wasp]

a function in this case

[quartz kindle]

depending on the situation yes

in this situation cat is an async function

if its returned, then it will be awaited in await command.run()

if its not returned, you can await it, and the catch will still work

but if you dont return and dont await, then the command will exit before the cat function is finished

[hybrid wasp]

ic

ok so doing await cat();

[quartz kindle]

yes

[hybrid wasp]

isnt working lemmi try to return

[quartz kindle]

ah yes to do await cat() you need to add async to (client, message, args) => {

but return should still work

[hybrid wasp]

ok so i tried return IT WORKS!

one more thing

i have the ping command

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");

module.exports.run = (client, message, args) => {
  return message.channel.send(`Latency is ${Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp
    }ms.\nAPI Latency is ${Math.round(client.ws.ping)}ms`)
}

module.exports.name = "ping";

what do i do in this case

can i just put it inside a function and return the function?

or because i return the message it shouldnt do an error?

[quartz kindle]

since you are returning it, it will be caught by the await command.run

[hybrid wasp]

gotcha

so everything should be working now

[boreal iron]

Your api latency technically is the gateway ping or websocket ping and the first measurement is the api response time

_just to say _

[hybrid wasp]

im just adding that

idk why

its more of a test command
but good to know

also Tim thank you so much!

Seems like the traps only work when doing thing.property

not when displaying the default thing

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure what you're trying to do is not possible

[lament rock]

[quartz kindle]

you will always need an object container, you cant work on primitives

[lament rock]

welp. I guess I can discard all of my changes

[fallen holly]

what does this mean

[spark flint]

you've already replied to or deferred the interaction

[crystal yew]

So when I turn off my bot, there is a chance Express fails to turn off, and the only way I know to turn it off is if I shut my computer down or wait a long time. How can I shut it off if this does happen?

[quartz kindle]

wdym fails to turn off

does the process not exit?

[crystal yew]

yes

[quartz kindle]

how are you turning it off?

is express inside the bot file?

[crystal yew]

idk, it just does not shut off sometimes

[quartz kindle]

how are you turning it off?
is express inside the bot file?

[crystal yew]

it turns on when I turn the bot on, and supposed to turn off when i shut the bot off

[quartz kindle]

so its in different files?

where is it hosted?

[crystal yew]

Self hosting, beta bot where I am having the issue

Like im turning the bot on and off for beta testing

[quartz kindle]

how are you turning it on?

what command are you running?

[crystal yew]

"node -v"

[quartz kindle]

node -v is for showing your node version

not running anything

[crystal yew]

idk the command, I press button and bot starts

[quartz kindle]

what button?

[wheat mesa]

replit button probably

[crystal yew]

The run button

[quartz kindle]

they said they are self hosting

what run button?

[wheat mesa]

oh

[crystal yew]

The button that makes the bot run

[quartz kindle]

...

are you using replit?

[crystal yew]

Im not upload the code to a host, because im, testing the code

[quartz kindle]

what

are you using replit/glitch?

[crystal yew]

neither

[quartz kindle]

then what run button?

[crystal yew]

The run button on my software in which im coding my bot in

[quartz kindle]

what software?

[crystal yew]

VSC

[quartz kindle]

vsc doesnt have an autoconfigured run command for node projects afaik

how did you configure it? show your package.json file

[quartz kindle]

do you have a .vscode folder with a launch.json file?

[crystal yew]

no idea what that is

so imma say no

[quartz kindle]

if you have it it will show in your list of files

on the left side panel

[crystal yew]

yes or no, is it possible to turn off the express node without restarting my computer?

[quartz kindle]

of course it is

[crystal yew]

then how?

[quartz kindle]

literally just exit the script

thats what everybody does

but i have no idea how you are starting and stopping your script because i have no idea how your workflow looks like

so i cant help you if i know nothing about what/how you are doing

most people start stuff by running node myfile.js and then stop it by pressing ctrl+C
if you're not doing it like everyone does, then i need to know how you are doing it to be able to help

[crystal yew]

Imma get help elsewhere

[quartz kindle]

good luck

[spark flint]

using nodejs canvas

how can i place text in the center of a canvas (idk what its called)?

[quartz kindle]

fillText

you can measure the height by the pixel size and the width by measureText

and use those to get the X and Y position for where to draw the text

X = canvas width / 2 - measuredText.width / 2
Y = canvas height / 2 - font size / 2

[proven lantern]

I'm still having an issue with the guild count being cached. any idea how total could be cached?

[lyric mountain]

Lmao he wants u to crystal ball his problem tim

[proven lantern]

thanks typescript

I'm fucking amazed

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quartz kindle]

[feral aspen]

I want to create a function called type() with several properties such as channel, message, etc. i.e, if I execute type(272764566411149314).channel, it would replace the value of, supposedly, GUILD_TEXT, to its explanation, a guild text channel.

I'm supposed to be using a class (although I want to write all of this in a seperate file as a class and then export it to use in another file), how should I be planning out the class since I'm confused how I'll do the .channel, .message, etc.

[quartz kindle]

that didnt make much sense to me, can you give more examples?

[stable eagle]

My bot is constantly going offline at midnight for some reason, is there any reason why? My host is galaxygate

[lyric mountain]

A generic, what you want is a generic

Basically make a class that auto-cast to the target value

For obvious reasons, you'll need to throw an exception is all cases except for the correct one

Or return null

class From {
	class Type {
		const id;

		constructor(id) {
			this.id = id;
		} 

		function channel() {
			return client.channels.cache.get(id);
		}
	} 

	function type(id) {
		return new Type(id);
	}
} 

Something like this

Idk if js allows inner classes, or even abstract and private definitions

Ideally you'd have Type private, and From abstract so u can't instantiate it

Then just call From.type(1234567890).channel()

You can transform the last methods into properties if u load all variables during constructor

That'd fit better ur request

[boreal iron]

Is there even a keyword private? I think private vars and functions start with a #

[lyric mountain]

But am on mobile, and writing code here is shit

[lyric mountain]

Idk, I never really stopped to think if js has ANYTHING other than class regarding oop

Actually, I could count on hand how many reserved keywords exist

[quartz kindle]

you sure about that?

[boreal iron]

Tim’s always ready to fuck somebody up

[quartz kindle]

some of those have been removed since ES5

[boreal iron]

I see private but this hasn’t to do anything with classes I guess

[quartz kindle]

thats one of the removed ones

[boreal iron]

Or private vars and functions?!

Yeah

[boreal iron]

It was a little confusing to come to JS without public, protected and private keywords

[quartz kindle]

i didnt even know what those were until i looked beyond js

[boreal iron]

And the fact private vars and functions start with a #

[quartz kindle]

yeah that decision was just stupid

[boreal iron]

Well it is how it is

[quartz kindle]

ts to the rescue

[boreal iron]

Err

Are private vars/functions accessible in an extended class?

[quartz kindle]

no idea, never used them

[boreal iron]

Hmm

[quartz kindle]

i like using _abc as the unofficial standard for private stuff

[boreal iron]

That’s why PHP has protected keyword

[quartz kindle]

i dont care about making my stuff unhackable

[boreal iron]

lol

But things can get complicated when having huge extended classes and may one public var exists two times

[quartz kindle]

just dont use the same name :^)

[boreal iron]

I’m also not a fan if I include an helper class for example in my database class and then call helper functions using my database class

That’s the reason private and or protected vars/functions exist

Js might not be the best oop language here

[quartz kindle]

it never was and never will be

[boreal iron]

Or let’s say might not have the best oop functionality

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

oop is just like

something you can do with it

but you dont need to

[boreal iron]

It’s feels like moving between two worlds sometimes

[quartz kindle]

im moving between 2 worlds rn

awake and sleep

[boreal iron]

Yeah got only 1h of sleep

[quartz kindle]

rip

go slep

[boreal iron]

Can’t atm but later

[quartz kindle]

i will go too

[boreal iron]

When I’m done working

[quartz kindle]

kthxbye

[boreal iron]

Bye

[proven lantern]

i thought goto was going to make a comeback

[bright hornet]

https://sourceb.in/IMQ4apBY0X when im using member.id it keeps throwing error like this Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id') but when im pinging the member its fine.

[wheat mesa]

Well, your member either isn’t cached or you’re not giving an id/mention for it to parse

[bright hornet]

i change the .cache.get to .fetch then it works fine now

[rocky dagger]

i got a message with a button and when i press that button i want to get the message content of that message, how am i able to do this?

[boreal iron]

You receive the corresponding interaction event which includes the message object (and content) as property

[bright thorn]

can anyone check #topgg-api

[raw nest]

I'm using Prisma. How can I get all records that have value bigger than x?

[near stratus]

gt: x ??

or gte: x

[raw nest]

yeah got it thanks^^

another question... can I somehow put variables in a query? variable as the column?

[earnest phoenix]

Sorry for the extremely late response, was asleep; since primitives such as booleans and numbers do not hold a reference, you can check the type of the value wanted and return a new value of the same type, which they could either use or modify, for arrays, objects, symbols or similar types of values, you gotta clone the value in a way as I'm sure I've told you how to do so before

[spark flint]

😔

I have a function called checkName(username) which returns { scam:true, reason:"whatever" } or { scam:false }, how can I check all members from all the servers my bot is in to see if any return scam:true?

[neat ingot]

depending on what you are wanting to achieve, you may be approaching the solution backwords. If you are wanting to keep a record of all the users in each server that have been flagged as 'scam:true' then, imo, you should create a specific database table/collection for those entries and then you add to it, or check it as required. otherwise the alternative would be to iterate over every single guild you are in, then every single member, then forcing fresh data for each member, then checking the flag. which is not a good approach for a number of reasons

[spark flint]

I already have a database for lots of them

I’m mostly checking for any users that are scam accounts that haven’t been flagged because It was from before I started checking for them

I did a check for users with the word modmail in etc and got 36 users

I just now need to get those user ids and then I’ll add to the database too

[neat ingot]

ahh, if your only planning to run the operation once, that isnt too bad. just iterate over each guild, fetch the guild data, iterate over each guilds user, fetch the user data, then check/add

[simple stump]

Is it possible to download a file from a blob URL? I'm not sure how those work, but for some reason certain blob URL's work and some don't. For example this one results in the image:
blob:https://mangadex.org/6bb8e02d-ae5f-486b-a42d-bd655de28e39
But this one results in Firefox saying the "url doesn't look right":
blob:https://mangadex.org/6cbbfd0b-2dd0-49c0-801f-9ac8ef4fa021
(FYI Mangadex allows you to download the images directly from URL's using their API, but I'm trying a different approach since their API isn't all the greatest imo)
When I try to use this bit of code to download files from a URL, I get a timeout error.

async function downloadFile(file, path) {
  const streamPipeline = util.promisify(nodeStream.pipeline);
  const response = await axios.get(file, { responseType: 'stream' });
  await streamPipeline(response.data, fs.createWriteStream(path));
}

[timber fractal]

how do I call a js function, using ejs?

for example, I want this p element to have as content the output of Math.floor(Math.random() * 10), how would I do that?

[wheat mesa]

try {
  switch (smth) {
    case 'B':
      result += 5;
      throw new Exception();
    case 'C':
      result += 6;
      throw new Exception();
    case 'D':
      result += 7;
  }
} finally {
  ...
}
``` thank you for coming to my Ted talk on “how to avoid using `break`”

My teacher hates when I use break in loops, so I’ll just do this for loops instead of switch cases

[crimson vapor]

Why does he hate using break?

Does he think it will break the loop not the switch case?

optionally, just use java

interaction.channel.id === dm cahnnel

how check

[vivid fulcrum]

do you want to check whether the channel is a dm channel or if it's a specific dm channel

[bright thorn]

yes

i want to reply a button which is in user dm

[wheat mesa]

I’m talking about in a loop

Break is of course allowed in a switch case

[wheat mesa]

That is Java!

[lyric mountain]

then why not case XX -> ...?

[wheat mesa]

It’s a joke

[lyric mountain]

a

[tidal nymph]

const perms = [
        Permissions.FLAGS.VIEW_CHANNEL,
        Permissions.FLAGS.SEND_MESSAGES,
        Permissions.FLAGS.USE_EXTERNAL_EMOJIS,
]

channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has(perms);

Is this the right way to check if my bot has permissions in a channel?

[lyric mountain]

depends on whether has expect inputting arrays

[woeful pike]

why switch?

const mappings = {
  B: 5,
  C: 6
}

result += mappings[smth]

[tidal nymph]

im sure it does, I tested in local, if the bot doesn't have perms it stops there. But it actually doesn't stop when its being hosted

kinda weird

[lyric mountain]

are u saving the file?

[wheat mesa]

1: it’s Java, 2: ITS A JOKE PEOPLE

[lyric mountain]

like, pretty dumb but sometimes happen

[tidal nymph]

saving what?

[lyric mountain]

the file ur code is in

[tidal nymph]

do you mean when its being hosted?

it rebuilds every new deploys

I dont think its related at all tbh

maybe its something about discord cache

[lyric mountain]

String chars = "ABC";
int bits = 4;
bits = (bits << 6) | 5;
bits = (bits << 6) | 6;

result += (bits >> ((chars.length - 1 - chars.chartAt(smth)) * 6)) & 0xF;

[tidal nymph]

ok nvm I think I found out that sending embed message with link also needs embed_links perm 🤔

[proven lantern]

does anyone have an idea why total would get cached? The value doesn't update until i restart the bot

[lyric mountain]

c.guilds.cache.size maybe?

[proven lantern]

line 8 of the 3rd ss?

oh

like dont use the cache

this is the code from the library that does client.guilds._add
https://github.com/timotejroiko/discord.js-light/blob/0d8afe430a484ba8fac24fd61c33b1125b25a074/handlers.js#L114

so maybe that doesn't add it to the cache?

[lyric mountain]

idk how d.js works (let alone timfork), can't help much with it

[fluid garden]

I need help pls

How can i keep alive my repl it js bot

🙏

[lyric mountain]

ping it once every a few minutes

[fluid garden]

What you mean?

Realy? Or u joking?

He will get alive if i pinged?

[lyric mountain]

ye

repl.it is supposed to be used for sites and services

both are supposed to never be 24/7 and only start when called (aka on-demand)

so if u want to keep it 24/7 u need to trick it into thinking someone is acessing it

[fluid garden]

Ob

Oh

Just normal mention?

[lyric mountain]

no

[fluid garden]

Like @lyric mountain

How?

[lyric mountain]

HTTP ping, not discord ping

[fluid garden]

It is not python

And idk how to make that in js

[lyric mountain]

fetch("the bot repl.it url")
