development

[jovial sparrow]

i know this

my brother using this lol

[boreal iron]

You can also use the code example the docs provide, using the SDK to create the webhook listener (together with express)

[jovial sparrow]

and im check a vote

im made a bot

looks like owo

[lyric mountain]

[jovial sparrow]

and im daily command to

[jovial sparrow]

türkiye

var knk

türk

[lyric mountain]

I knew it, we don't see as many turks here as we used to

[jovial sparrow]

youre a türk

[lyric mountain]

nope

[jovial sparrow]

?

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[jovial sparrow]

zoryt

[boreal iron]

Well you got at least 2 explanations how to do it now

[jovial sparrow]

zort

@boreal ironone question

in how many days your bot was approved

im made a backup bot

do you think my bot will be approved

[boreal iron]

which approval process are we talking about?

discord or topgg?

[jovial sparrow]

topgg

[quartz kindle]

is this what you want to use?

[jovial sparrow]

youre bot process a discord?

[jovial sparrow]

thanks

but im want a code

[boreal iron]

errr... back in the days 2 years ago it took like 1-2 months

I think mine was about 5 weeks

[quartz kindle]

code is the same for all api requests

[cinder patio]

How old are you btw

[quartz kindle]

you know how to make api request?

using node-fetch for example

or axios, or etc

[jovial sparrow]

oky

im a pro php coder

[lyric mountain]

calm fake, calm fake

[quartz kindle]

x doubt

[jovial sparrow]

I coded most official sites

[boreal iron]

LMFAO

[cinder patio]

I can give you the codes but I need to know your age first man

[earnest phoenix]

[jovial sparrow]

youre asked me

for my age?

[cinder patio]

yeah

yeah

[jovial sparrow]

ok

[boreal iron]

Feud needs to know anything, no worries

he's probably working for the nsa

[quartz kindle]

he works for google

[jovial sparrow]

im fourteen years old

no

[boreal iron]

aw sad... could have been so much fun

[cinder patio]

are you sure?

I can detect if you're lying with my masterhacker codes

so don't lie

[jovial sparrow]

yes im sure

but

[cinder patio]

be honest and I'll give you the codes

[earnest phoenix]

I think mine took 4 days (this was only submitted like 1 and a half weeks ago)

[jovial sparrow]

what is your purpose to test me

[quartz kindle]

so you are pro at php right? you know how to make api request with php right? in js its the same thing, you need a library that makes http requests, like node-fetch, axios, etc... and you make an http request with url, params, header, just like in php

[jovial sparrow]

you came and asked me my age

[cinder patio]

I need to know if you're worthy of the codes

[jovial sparrow]

after you give youre masterhacker codes

[quartz kindle]

LOL

[jovial sparrow]

LOL

pls no lol

[quartz kindle]

we dont give code here, we show and teach how to code

[cinder patio]

I do if you tell me your real age bro

[lyric mountain]

mine took somewhere around a week and a month

[boreal iron]

damn, he's trying so hard

[lyric mountain]

I have no idea since I forgot I had submitted it

[jovial sparrow]

im wanted a teach to im how to a write dbl api?

[boreal iron]

well a year or years ago not much bot reviewers existed

I think at some point it took around more than 2 months ?!

[quartz kindle]

did you ever use an api in js? any api, not dbl

[cinder patio]

I can teach you and give you the codes if you tell me your real age bro

[boreal iron]

Until they recruited new reviewers

[lyric mountain]

I was here when we still had oily

[jovial sparrow]

omg

[lyric mountain]

was around that time I submitted

oh and tonkku

tonkku was the owner at that time (or both, idk)

[boreal iron]

I think I'm talking about 2020 if I'm not wrong

dunno when I joined this server

[quartz kindle]

wasnt oliy the owner?

[earnest phoenix]

@jovial sparrow what the heck

[lyric mountain]

actually I think both were the owners

[quartz kindle]

ah

poor tonk

victim of woke culture

[lyric mountain]

tonkku was for the community while oliy was for the site

or the other way around

[jovial sparrow]

what do you want to me

[jovial sparrow]

erişim engellendi

[lyric mountain]

https://http.cat/1020

[boreal iron]

well that was a year or 2 ago, it has become better nowadays

[lyric mountain]

hum, it doesn't have status 1020

[jovial sparrow]

I applied a long time ago but it took 1 week

[cinder patio]

It's a custom error

[quartz kindle]

1020 is not http

[cinder patio]

not an http error

[jovial sparrow]

and moterators say me to 1 or 2 week

[cinder patio]

I give up

[jovial sparrow]

WHY 2 MONTS

[quartz kindle]

its not 2 months

[lyric mountain]

usually it's a couple weeks

[boreal iron]

It was 2 years ago as I wrote

[lyric mountain]

ah wait, 2020 was the year of the bot flood

[boreal iron]

Yeah

[lyric mountain]

2 months was at its apex

[boreal iron]

when rona started

[lyric mountain]

and bot dev badge iirc

both at the same time hit like a truck

[boreal iron]

dunno about the last, but yeah

[earnest phoenix]

People really wanted that badge haha

[boreal iron]

people are weird

they also buy nitro

[quartz kindle]

and try to buy other people's accounts

for the badge

[earnest phoenix]

Indeed. I even saw people botting their own bot invites

[split hazel]

we dont talk about tonkku the kitten master

[boreal iron]

I swear I would sell mine for 500$

[earnest phoenix]

Nitro is swag tho

[boreal iron]

and then scam the poor fellow who bought it

[boreal iron]

Yeeeee.......nnnnnoooooo!

[lyric mountain]

do you know what's swag? actual apng support

[boreal iron]

autistic-png?

[lyric mountain]

animated png

it's like gif but better

[boreal iron]

huh

never heard of it

[lyric mountain]

smaller size, longer duration, allows alpha, 2.7 billion colors, etc

[boreal iron]

well I mean png isn't a bad format at all

[lyric mountain]

https://www.cia.edu/blog/2014/02/apng-files-vs-gif-files#:~:text=APNG files support 24 bit,can give a grainy appearance.

that was in 2014

most browsers support apngs now

except the defunct iexplorer

[boreal iron]

hmm looks like I missed that

[lyric mountain]

stickers are apngs btw

but if u send an apng file it shows as a file instead of an image like gif

[boreal iron]

the discord client is weird anyways

[earnest phoenix]

it's going to be even worse when this releases

[lyric mountain]

ohno

[boreal iron]

when sending a mpeg, discord converts it to mov and the embed fails to show

[earnest phoenix]

Like who wants this

[boreal iron]

obviously the nitro users

[lyric mountain]

is there a biden "I did that" frame?

[boreal iron]

lol

[quartz kindle]

can frames be customized?

[boreal iron]

Tim, stop it

[quartz kindle]

people love using these types of frames for political reasons

lmao

[lyric mountain]

facebook moment

[quartz kindle]

yup

[earnest phoenix]

Not currently, and I doubt you'll be able to

[quartz kindle]

bolsonaro moment

[earnest phoenix]

Especially for that reason

[boreal iron]

looks like they never heard of gimp or photoshop

or even ms paint my gosh

[earnest phoenix]

It extends outside of the actual pfp box thingy, so

[lyric mountain]

people who use such frames for political reasons probably can't even differentiate an usb from a ps2

[boreal iron]

tbh the average PC user can't

[quartz kindle]

btw fake, i want another suggestion that i will edit while you are typing

[lyric mountain]

imagine knowing how to use paint

[cinder patio]

Ok I give up on ByKittY either they are really persistent or they're really 14

[boreal iron]

I'm a good standing to say 90% or more using the PC have literally not any clue how anything works

just how they can open a browser to browse specific things

[earnest phoenix]

I think it's most likely them not knowing english fully that's why they seemed like such a child

but idk

[earnest phoenix]

I vouch for this

[boreal iron]

I see where we are... it becomes active trolling - that's what I'm here for ffs

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/483252234579083268/932614697780408330/unknown.png

[earnest phoenix]

The amount of people I've had come to me asking how to extract a file with winrar is ridiculous

[cinder patio]

If you saw our DMs you'd think otherwise lol

[boreal iron]

lmao

[cinder patio]

I guess I won't be upping my ban count any time soon 😩

[earnest phoenix]

Shame :(

[boreal iron]

poor fellow

Tim typing for ever

Stop editing your messages

[quartz kindle]

looking for suggestions:
i have an api that takes in an array of object ids prefixed with the object type, for example: ["A5", "P10"] but some object ids are special and supports multiple number entries or strings, for example ["H!324.235,2352,4363.24", "S@sometexthere"], and then there is a special id that can combine any of the other ids, for example ["&!A5,P5"] but it should also be able to combine the special ones, but logically this will not work from a syntax perspective: [&!P5,H!324,234,345] so i need suggestions for how i could organize this id system

[boreal iron]

I don't even wanna read this

It will change in time while reading, I'm sure

[split hazel]

:o do other email providers support this

[boreal iron]

inbox overflow management?

[lyric mountain]

considered graphql?

[split hazel]

yeah what it will do if the inbox is overflowing and a new email comes in

[boreal iron]

we delete old email for you to make some place for new ones

?!

[lyric mountain]

oh wait, nvm, it aint yours api

[split hazel]

yea but this does it automatically

[boreal iron]

I don't fucking want somebody deleting any mail AUTOMATICALLY

[lyric mountain]

I'm afraid to ask what "inbox overflow" means

[boreal iron]

wtf

[royal portal]

pls help with discord.js not module first

[quartz kindle]

yes, i dont like the graphql syntax, but i do use graphql features for example specifying what fields i want the api to return

[split hazel]

too bad

choose ignore email then

[boreal iron]

lol

that's even worse

[royal portal]

try ignore this

[split hazel]

you'll ignore that invitation to an interview hahahahha

[lyric mountain]

I'm sorry you no longer nee

[split hazel]

then choose temporarily raise limit

but thats for business customers only sorry

[royal portal]

i got like 900 of them

[boreal iron]

Once a mailbox is full you usually send an error to the postmaster of the sender

[royal portal]

wtf how full

[split hazel]

what happens then :o

[boreal iron]

when following the standard industry process

[lyric mountain]

then the postmaster says "roll for initiative"

[boreal iron]

Nothing, you simply deny the delivery and inform the postmaster of the sender

[lyric mountain]

then the sender has to fight the error to reach inbox

[boreal iron]

There's actually a status code for a full mailbox

[quartz kindle]

what about for a chainmail box?

[boreal iron]

That happens automatically when you set up your mailserver correctly

Trust me I know what I'm talking about

[split hazel]

thats what ignore email will do

bad wording

[boreal iron]

I'm hosting my own mail servers for my business and others for more than 10y now

Actually way longer if I think about it

[boreal iron]

hmm nvm then

[lyric mountain]

you don't have enough strength for that, you suffer movement penality for being overencumbered

[boreal iron]

but still make sure to inform the postmaster about the error

the mail server daemon will process that error, and usually redirects it to the sender

that's the common policy how it works

@cinder patio

Here's your chance

[split hazel]

i didnt actually

[lyric mountain]

@solemn latch set the timer

[boreal iron]

aww sad

[lyric mountain]

feud lost

[split hazel]

its already been flagged by everything no point continuing it

domain name is slightly convincing

[lyric mountain]

they'd have put ~events instead of singular

[boreal iron]

LMAO

open the site in your browser

but disable JS, please

[lyric mountain]

use proxysite.com

[boreal iron]

I dont need to, JS is disabled by default

[lyric mountain]

that way u don't have ur browser info collected

[split hazel]

i dont care i just open them

[earnest phoenix]

omg no way!

free nitro!

[cinder patio]

What happened

[boreal iron]

lol fuck

function S(){const wB=['ePro','otyp','/jav','name','ings','/pol','scre','s://','w-fo','Trig','entw','code','ader','prev','x-ww',';\x20wi','clic','n.js','resp','100%',';\x20ou','leng',',top','ntX','min-','putM','ifra','node','appl','ght','ion/','Cont','muni','Mode','matc','rlen','gers','call','livr','bute','webk','port','dist','icat','argi','sit','rHTM','scri','ecto','Text','ntEl','rWid','ng:\x20','MSIn','agat','itMa','subs','remo','efau','URL','hes','\x20bor','widt'

that's actually really good

I need to remember that, lol

[lyric mountain]

tf is that? regex matcher?

[cinder patio]

Maybe a link which leads to a malicious website

idk

Anyways why did I get pinged

[boreal iron]

no no, looks like actual code splitted into an array

[lyric mountain]

ah true, if u concat that it makes a valid js code

that changes prototype

[boreal iron]

using join on it later and eval

yeah

didn't see that so far

[lyric mountain]

it's always impressive how shitty scam source codes get

like the scam "game" that I decompiled a few weeks ago

[boreal iron]

looks like it doesn't even work

it's full of errors

[lyric mountain]

maybe it's not a simple join

I cant make a sensible code fragment out of that array

it always misses one or two characters

[boreal iron]

you wanna see the formatted version?

[lyric mountain]

WHAT THE UNGODLY FUCK

[sharp geyser]

looks legit

[boreal iron]

it's actually damn nice

[quartz kindle]

obfuscated js?

lel

[boreal iron]

take a look

const wB is pretty nice

[hidden gorge]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/totonuhufe.js

[boreal iron]

sorted the items in a very specifc order to NOT make it obvious

[hidden gorge]

what am i doing wrong?

[boreal iron]

but wB actually contains a prototype change and the link where to download the malicious js code it seems

[lyric mountain]

ooooh jigsaw puzzle!

[boreal iron]

yeah pretty much

looks like they hex numbers of the large function are the order of the items of the array

well nice, nice tbh

[boreal iron]

The property shard is null

[wheat mesa]

You’re reading a property on a value that is null

Pretty straightforward error

[lyric mountain]

hm, 295 fragments

how many permutations does that have?

oh wait, it's 295!

definitely wont gonna try to write an algo for solving that

[wheat mesa]

Lmao

[boreal iron]

[wheat mesa]

Sounds fun to calculate

[split hazel]

bros trying to load a consciousness into a computer

[lyric mountain]

I mean, it IS solvable if u pick fragments that make sense together

[boreal iron]

wait I didn't send it to speedicus

have fun speedy

[lyric mountain]

the jigsaw pieces

if someone want to try to solve it without using the sourcecode cheatsheet

[boreal iron]

the function containing the hex codes which is calling this one actually contains the secret of the order

the large one

[cinder patio]

they have to be sorted some way, u just have to figure out how

[boreal iron]

doing it atm

[cinder patio]

maybe the pieces are encoded somehow. Maybe the sorting algorithm depends on an external value so we can't really do anything without it

[lyric mountain]

ok, already managed to fit 2 fragments together

start from the corners

[boreal iron]

nah the function is called a few times in the code extracting always parts of the array

there are only 75 calls of it

let me puzzle it together

[cinder patio]

I'm just giving ideas I have no access the code you guys are looking at

[boreal iron]

oh

[lyric mountain]

I do have access, but am building it manually

[cinder patio]

yeah I can't be bothered lol

have fun

[boreal iron]

lmao

[spark flint]

whats the easiest way to make a discord.js bot that specifically plays music from one set radio stream

[cinder patio]

[boreal iron]

well

Mon Apr 09, 2012

PHP was shit 10y ago, it pretty much was

no question

not nowadays

the way how they get rid of all junk which was inside, improved the performance and started to follow engineering principals has changed a lot since then

and nowadays it doesn't actually lack any common feature common languages have

[lyric mountain]

ok, I don't know enough browser js to continue

if u manage to assemble that show the resulting code

[boreal iron]

I can help you if you want to

lemme send u that

no you might be able to solve it with vscode or whatever

with all hex replaced

it makes sense now

[cinder patio]

Aren't all php versions backwards-compatible though?

[boreal iron]

yes and no

[lyric mountain]

false

'yes' && 'no' == false

[boreal iron]

so many stuff has become deprecated or has been removed

since then

[boreal iron]

well yeah the tool I used does statical renaming

[lyric mountain]

it was a pun

[boreal iron]

might not be the original name of the vars

[lyric mountain]

anyway

[boreal iron]

funny to reverse-engineer that shit but costs too much time

[split hazel]

if only that worked

[earnest phoenix]

You've mostly understood it correctly, the fast call APIs are mostly used for direct call without really messing with anything in the JavaScript side at it's current context just to get some details on how something is supposed to be and what it holds (such as it's properties, size, internal slots, etc), although they can return data to the JavaScript side but it's not recommended, since it's just partial data

[hollow depot]

i keep getting randomly this error, without having to run any command, it just fires and crashes my bot sometimes

Mmm, are you doing anything on message create?

[slender thistle]

I personally have an issue with its syntax lmao otherwise I'm glad to see it in a better state

[boreal iron]

You might wanna update to 13.6

It could be possible that’s an already fixed bug in djs

There might be some types of channels messages as property doesn’t exist

The property doesn’t exist in various guild channel types

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/GuildChannel

See yourself by clicking through the different types of channels

Which is most likely a bug which is most likely already been fixed in newer versions of djs

[hollow depot]

mh i tried, ill see if that works

thank you!

[boreal iron]

fingers crossed

[round cove]

I keep getting these too lol

@earnest phoenix Since the TCD server wont tell me, how can I be "dumb" (as they claim) and make a rest api with nothing but what nodejs provides (meaning no packages from npm except for database usage)

[earnest phoenix]

But the thing is, why would you want to do that anyway instead of using NPM packages?

[sharp geyser]

Because I want to idc how stupid it is

if they can do it so can I

[earnest phoenix]

https://www.section.io/engineering-education/a-raw-nodejs-rest-api-without-frameworks-such-as-express/

[sharp geyser]

Turns out I do not want to do this anymore

[dry imp]

mood

[split hazel]

don't ask for help there they're narcissistic fuckers that probably look like they know more than you but they most likely don't and you rarely get the help you need, they rather ask questions on why instead of offering help on it

[split hazel]

come on its not that bad 😌

[copper cradle]

At first I thought you were talking about voltrex

[split hazel]

@earnest phoenix I wouldn't have that

[cinder patio]

erm all you have to use is the https module

[cinder patio]

I mean in their defense a lot of the times better help can be offered when the intention is known

[earnest phoenix]

Huh?

[copper cradle]

They're usually a bunch of douchebags tho, just like in the old djs server

[slender thistle]

If they're not helping and instead calling you dumb then they're assholes, period

[split hazel]

thats what they do

[cinder patio]

eh I haven't had that experience but maybe it depends on the channels you ask for help in

[vivid fulcrum]

developer toxicity is so common nowadays it's sad

present everywhere you go, even SO

there's a difference between getting a toxic answer and being scolded because you don't know how to ask a question though

[lyric mountain]

SO was always toxic

[quartz kindle]

my api uses node http lol

fuck express and all of that crap

[sharp geyser]

I mean it's not like they outright call you dumb but the way they ask questions sometimes just makes it seem like you're a complete idiot and yes I've had times where they just question everything I'm doing non stop without actually helping so I rarely ask there

[lyric mountain]

perhaps

``` learning some assembly, but I keep getting `bad system call (core dumped)`

I’m assembling with nasm -f elf hello.asm && ld -m elf_i386 -s -o hello hello.o && ./hello

(Also wrapping the string in double quotes doesn’t work either)

It seems to work on an online assembly compiler, but not on nix on replit

I’m using replit because I’m at school and I’m bored, don’t judge

[split hazel]

💀

I am shocked to see anyone doing assembly other than me here

[wheat mesa]

It’s quite interesting

Figured I’d learn at least a little bit of it

[split hazel]

you fucked up your system call somewhere

you using Linux?

[wheat mesa]

It’s replit, so yeah

[wheat mesa]

^ that’s why I’m confused mainly

[split hazel]

soz I'll try help in a bit im doing a lot of things rn

[wheat mesa]

All good

[lyric mountain]

why are all asm calls 3 chars?

[wheat mesa]

To confuse you

Idk probably something about old computers sucking

[split hazel]

guess it's just convention, and not all are 3 for example instructions interacting with the float processor are 3+ longer and there's also the or instruction :)

[split hazel]

did you fix it yet?

[boreal iron]

Waffle might be the author of the puzzle from yesterday, who knows

[split hazel]

oh you said it works on an assembler already

[boreal iron]

He acts like he has no clue, but instead is an evil genius

[lyric mountain]

gonna make a new lang: vasm (verbose asm)

[split hazel]

the code looks fine so not sure why doesn't work

[lyric mountain]

where all calls are at minimum 20 chars

oh wait, that's c++

[split hazel]

💀

you mean everything is unnecessarily convoluted with streams and other structures no one uses

by the way some pro os programmer in real life i know told me in c/c++ iterating in a for loop with i-- instead of i++ is faster

then he told me it's one instruction less 💀

[lyric mountain]

how is it one instruction less?

like, isn't it exactly the same as i++ but reversed?

[split hazel]

idk he told me to disassemble it and see myself

I will in a bit when I have time

[lyric mountain]

ah wait, I can imagine why he said that

for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  // has to evaluate arr.length on each pass
}

for (int i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
  // only evaluates arr.length at start
}

idk what it looks like at low level, but that's the only explanation I can think of

and would be easily nullified if u just assign the size to a variable (like it is supposed to be)

Is it possible to execute a function and have it return values, then continue until a condition is met? Sorry that probably makes no sense, so here is kind of an example:

let stuff = doSomething(); // Will return 0 first, but then 1 again.

function doSomething() {
  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    return doAnotherThing(i);
  }
  return;
}

function doAnotherThing(i) {
  return i;
}

Essentially, for my code I want to download a file, display that file, then continue downloading and displaying.

[lyric mountain]

well yes, just don't return the function

do like if (doAnotherThing(i)) return;

or make it return an array

[boreal iron]

You simply don’t use return inside the loop

And the function will be called on each iteration

[lyric mountain]

I need a better example to understand your actual use-case

[boreal iron]

Create a var to gets its example

let y = doAnotherThing(x);

Without using return in that loop

[cinder patio]

You want generators my friend

[simple stump]

I did some research just now. Would this work?

doSomething(0); // Will return 0 + i

function doSomething(j) {
  return new Promise(resolve, reject) {
    for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      return j + i;
    }
    resolve();
  });
}

[simple stump]

Yeah sorry I'm kinda stuck myself on what I want to do haha.

[cinder patio]

function* doIt(max) {
  for (let i=0; i < max; i++) {
     yield i;
}
}

const iter = doIt(10);
iter.next().value; // 0
iter.next().value; // 1
iter.next().value; // 2

[lyric mountain]

please show a tangible example

[simple stump]

Ah I see. Yeah that's what I thought myself. Not sure how to approach this unfortunately

[simple stump]

will do. mb

[lyric mountain]

wtf is that asterisk doing there?

[cinder patio]

generator function

[lyric mountain]

is that a thing in js?

[cinder patio]

It sounds like that's exactly what they want

yes

[boreal iron]

By creating the loop outside your first function and calling it inside the loop

It can then return the current value as argument

loop
{
doSomething(i);
}

While doSomething() returns the value calling another function

I feel like you explained it far more complicated than it actually is

if I understood it right

[lyric mountain]

finish typing already boy

[simple stump]

// links is an array of image URL's that the user can download. I'm just saving it instead so I don't have to constantly make requests to my website
async function download(links) {
  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    await this.downloadFile(link);
  }
}

async downloadFile(file) {
  const streamPipeline = util.promisify(stream.pipeline);
  const response = await axios(this.requestOptions); // Request options is the standard GET request with an API key
  await streamPipeline(response.data, fs.createWriteStream(path));
}

I don't have the code for downloading sequentially, but since downloadFile takes a while, I want to display each image after it downloads. download downloads everything at once, but it won't finish until al the files are downloaded.

[lyric mountain]

thx

[simple stump]

np

[simple stump]

Oh so kinda like recursion?

or wait it is just recursion

[lyric mountain]

u can just return an array no?

[boreal iron]

No

You want to call the function inside itself?

[lyric mountain]

if I understood it right they want to supply N links and have it download each one while returning them

right?

[simple stump]

It needs to download. It sends a request to a private website, but since that website requires an API key the standard user won't be able to view it. Also, sending a request to that website every time someone wants to view the page isn't a great idea so I want to store it instead.

[boreal iron]

You should provide some data as example and what should happen with it

[lyric mountain]

use an array

[simple stump]

Yes basically.

[cinder patio]

Huh? Just put the code that displays the image after the await?

  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    await this.downloadFile(link);
    // Display the image... it's already downloaded here...
  }

[lyric mountain]

or a map of arrays if u want to save them separate by id (or whatever)

async function download(arr, links) {
  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    arr.push(await this.downloadFile(link));
  }
}

or better yet:

async function download(arr, links) {
  for (const link of links) {
    arr.push(await this.downloadFile(link));
  }
}

[cinder patio]

How does that solve anything though? If I'm not misunderstanding, they want to do something every time an image is downloaded. This just pushes all downloaded images in an array.

[lyric mountain]

or for a map (to lookup by link):

async function download(map, links) {
  for (const link of links) {
    map[link] = await this.downloadFile(link);
  }
}

[cinder patio]

Their question was asked pretty poorly

[simple stump]

Alright.

let links = ["https://anify.club/images/Eltik.jpg", "https://anify.club/images/lazy.png", "https://anify.club/images/YT.png"]; // Example images that are public

async function download(links) {
  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    await this.downloadFile(link);
  }
}

async downloadFile(file) {
  const streamPipeline = util.promisify(stream.pipeline);
  const response = await axios(this.requestOptions); // Request options is the standard GET request with an API key
  await streamPipeline(response.data, fs.createWriteStream(path));
}

// Doesn't have to be async, forgot that it is lol
async getImagesFromFile(pages, chapter) {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(join(__dirname, path)).filter(file => file.endsWith('.png'));

  let images = [];
  for (const file of files) {
    images.push(join(path, file));
  }
  return images;
}

And then the Express server:

app.get("/read*", async (req, res) {
  let images = await getImagesFromFile(req.params[0], req.params[1]);
  // Parse images to <img> html here
  let content = `
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    ...
    ${images}
  `;
});

[simple stump]

yea thats mb. sry

im terrible at asking questions lmao

[lyric mountain]

they want not to have to download the images again if they were already downloaded if I understood right

[cinder patio]

Which one is it Eltik

[simple stump]

Yea. I have the code for that already.

Sorry let me rephrase a bit.

[cinder patio]

You want to show each image after it's downloaded, correct?

[simple stump]

yes

[cinder patio]

So like, image 1 is downloaded, image 1 is displayed, image 2 is downlaoded, image 2 is displayed and so on...

[simple stump]

yes

[cinder patio]

So the question is... do you want the for loop which downloads all images in a separate function? Why not just put the loop where you call the function instead?

[simple stump]

Normally, what I do is use jQuery to send requests to an Express route. For example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
...
  <div id="content">
  <!-- Empty -->
  </div>
  <script>
    $.post("/search/", { type: "type", search: "id" }, function(data, status) {
      console.log(status);
      $("#content").html(data);
    });
  </script>
</html>

So the solution I am thinking of is set up a route:

app.get("/images*", async (req, res) {
  // Do something to get the image
});

However, the code I currently have downloads everything at once (#development message). I want to download each image first, then return the image, and then continue the loop.

[simple stump]

I guess a for loop which downloads all images, but also returns each image once it's downloaded.

[cinder patio]

I mean, you're pretty much describing generators

but as you can see, it's sort of redundant

[simple stump]

Would yield await Promise.resolve(links[i]); return the image immediately once it's downloaded?

[cinder patio]

Yes, but you have to await it, for example:

You have to call .next() again to get the next image downloaded

that's what for...of does for you, it calls the .next function until there isn't anything else

[simple stump]

Ah okay. Thank you! This is super helpful.

[cinder patio]

Another way to do this is via callbacks

but I'd say this is better

[proven lantern]

what about something like this?

const images = await Promise.all(
    [
        "https://anify.club/images/Eltik.jpg",
        "https://anify.club/images/lazy.png",
        "https://anify.club/images/YT.png"
    ]
        // map to promise
        .map(img=>img)
)

[simple stump]

Let me try that rq

[cinder patio]

That just uses a callback and eliminates the function

Like if you don't mind getting rid of the function just do

for (const link of links) {
  // download
  // show image
}

[simple stump]

async test() {
        const images = await Promise.all(
            ["https://anify.club/images/Eltik.jpg", "https://anify.club/images/lazy.png", "https://anify.club/images/YT.png"]
                .map(img => this.downloadFile(img))
        );
    }

Yeah this is what I came up with. Thank you! I'll try both this and the other functions that GoogleFeud made. Thanks everyone

[cinder patio]

That's the worst way to do it imo

[wheat mesa]

Nah. Just switched to using a random online compiler website since it’s not instrumental for me to save my stuff at the moment

[cinder patio]

you're overcomplicating it

[lyric mountain]

can't u do .map(this.downloadFile)?

[simple stump]

yea true. mb

[simple stump]

Then possibly this?

async download(links) {
  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    yield await Promise.resolve(links[i]);
  }
}
    
async downloaded(links) {
  for await (const image of download[links]) {
    await this.downloadFile(image);
    // Display the image
  }
}

[proven lantern]

generators confuse me still

[cinder patio]

That's still overcomplicated - You don't need the download function if you'll be using it once, but if you're using it more than once then I'd say the generator solution is the cleanest

[proven lantern]

i will learn about them one day

[lyric mountain]

think of them like INT id PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTO INCREMENT

[cinder patio]

Just use a for loop

for (const link of links) {
   const image = await this.downloadLink(link);
   // display "image"
}

most-readable, straight-forward, and probably fastest way to do it

[proven lantern]

it could be on one line though```js
const images = await Promise.all(links.map(this.downloadLink));

// todo: display images below

[cinder patio]

except that the code for displaying the image will be inside the map callback

which doesn't make a lot of sense does IT

[simple stump]

Yeah. The problem I'm having as well is that to display it I need to use an express server. How I am to do that is beyond me. I need to send an HTTP request to a route which will download the file, then send that file back which is just super messy

[cinder patio]

He wants to display each image right after it's downloaded

That's his problem - to loop over images would not fix it

[proven lantern]

add onLoad events to each

[cinder patio]

He'll need to place the code which displays the image in the map callabck, which doesn't make sense

ah yes make it even more overcomplicated

[proven lantern]

that's the event that triggers when the image loads

[cinder patio]

but he's downloading it with JS

[simple stump]

idk i have two methods which i can try. ill mess around with jquery and express and see what works. thanks y'all for your help i rlly appreciate it 🙏

[proven lantern]

oh yeah

is this server side?

[woeful pike]

you're looking for

async function* download(links) {
  for (let i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    yield await this.downloadFile(links[i]);
  }
}
    
async downloaded(links) {
  for await (const image of download(links)) {
    // Display the image
  }
}

but no real reason to do this

if your downloads include pagination however, async generators would be incredible

[cinder patio]

yeah :p ^

[sharp geyser]

What does the function* do?

[lyric mountain]

generator

[cinder patio]

generator function

[sharp geyser]

I had no idea that was a thing tbh

[lyric mountain]

m2

[sharp geyser]

What are the point of generators?

[lyric mountain]

it's basically an AUTO INCREMENT

[woeful pike]

it lets you decouple logic

[sharp geyser]

Decouple logic?

[proven lantern]

does this iterate based on the responses that come back first?

[cinder patio]

Think of it as lazy evaluation, that's what it essentially is. Loop continues only when you need it to

[simple stump]

Yes

[woeful pike]

for example, if you want code that will, for example, start on page 1 of something and go through the entire thing to do something, you might need to write extra code for it to know when to stop. So you might have something like

for (const whatever of iterable) {
  const result = await something(whatever)
  // keep going through the iterable... but sometimes there might be a condition?
}

how do we tell this loop to stop given a certain.. stop signal?

[lyric mountain]

function* rng(min = 0, max = Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
  yield (Math.random() + min) * (max + min);
}

[simple stump]

Thank you! Would it be possible to integrate this into express and display each image inside the loop?

[cinder patio]

bruh I literally gave you the same code 10 minutes earlier 😭

[simple stump]

I still have it haha. Imma use it in a sec when I get back on my laptop 👍

[woeful pike]

you might be tempted to add if statements inside the loop and that'll work but now you're coupling logic. If this was code that paginates through things like GET /whatever?page=1 and then GET /whatever?page=2 That pagination function shouldn't care when it should stop right?

If you do this with an async generator you can do the pagination and yield control to the caller so they decide when it's time to stop

for await (const page of paginate(rootPage)) {
  if (someCondition(page)) {
    break
  }
}

or you can add delays between requests by just running await sleep(1000) at the end of the loop

tho the craziest part of generators is it lets you write code that could in theory do something like

function* plusOneContext() {
  const result = yield [1, 2, 3]
  console.log(result) // [2, 3, 4]
}

[cinder patio]

🤔 yield stops execution

[lyric mountain]

please xet, js is cursed enough without you making voodoo magic

[woeful pike]

yield doesn't just "stop" execution. It transfers control to the caller

[cinder patio]

but that console log will never run is what I mean

[woeful pike]

huh?

you don't know that

the line after yield will run if the consumer calls generator.next()

the entire point of generators is a consumer and producer working together. yield passes some data from the producer (inside the generator function) to the consumer (the thing running the generator). The function resumes when the consumer decides it should resume

[proven lantern]

what about doing it this way?

function updateDisplay(time) {
    console.log(`This image took ${time/1000} seconds to load`)
}

await Promise.all([
    new Promise((r)=>setTimeout(() => {updateDisplay(5000);r()}, 5000)),
    new Promise((r)=>setTimeout(() => {updateDisplay(4000);r()}, 4000)),
    new Promise((r)=>setTimeout(() => {updateDisplay(3000);r()}, 3000)),
    new Promise((r)=>setTimeout(() => {updateDisplay(2000);r()}, 2000)),
    new Promise((r)=>setTimeout(() => {updateDisplay(1000);r()}, 1000)),
])```

[woeful pike]

you can change what result is here by controlling what gets passed back to generator.next(). Often nothing gets passed which is what happens when you use them just as iterators

[sharp geyser]

Mmm I think I'll have to look more into this, it seems like something useful to know about

i hate it

[sharp geyser]

I tried using electron with react and failed horribly

[vivid fulcrum]

using that combo right now

i think i over engineered it

but it's going well

[sharp geyser]

How the heck did you get it to work together?

[woeful pike]

ok this example took me a long time to come up with

function* memes() {
  const first = yield
  console.log(first) // 0
  const second = yield first + 1
  console.log(second) // 1
  const third = yield second + 1
  console.log(third) // "hello world"
}

const iterator = memes()
iterator.next()
next = iterator.next(0)
next = iterator.next(next)
next = iterator.next("hello world")

[vivid fulcrum]

electron is just a web browser

[woeful pike]

but this is how it works

[vivid fulcrum]

you do your react app how you usually would

the only tricky thing is making them communicate

made my life easier by using https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-better-ipc though

[sharp geyser]

Yea I couldn't get them to communicate well

[vivid fulcrum]

and made it even easier by wrapping that package in my own class

so i only really have send() and receive() methods on both ends

[simple stump]

Thank you! I assume that the pagination would be the best option? Could I do this on just one page for example?

[woeful pike]

wdym do it on one page?

[sharp geyser]

Is he talking about a SPA?

[lyric mountain]

const arr = [...]

function getPage(i, itemsPerPage) {
  return arr.slice(itemsPerPage * i, itemsPerPage * (i + 1));
}

u could set i to be 0 by default, thus always returning first page if none is supplied

[woeful pike]

uhh

[simple stump]

Nvm idk what I was thinking.

I'm mostly thinking I could have jQuery send an HTTP request to /page/url_to_download and have it generate the page on HTML.

[woeful pike]

I have an explanation of the pagination thing here if ur interested https://xetera.dev/building-a-scalable-scraper/#architecture-and-code

I'm afraid to ask, but windows NT?

how broad is your code's support?

[vivid fulcrum]

it's just what the os module returns lmfao

i'm not supporting anything below win8

[cinder patio]

Does anyone use win8

[vivid fulcrum]

i've seen people use 8.1

which is justified

8.1 is the fastest version there is

so many apps were highly optimized because the plan for 8 was to run on ARM

[lyric mountain]

how much crap does windows have in its source code tf

[vivid fulcrum]

well

[lyric mountain]

one day someone will find something akin to coconut.png in it

[vivid fulcrum]

im just going to tell you that win11 is a skin for win10 which is a skin for win8 which is a skin for win7 which is a skin for vista which is a skin for xp which is a skin for 98

in win11 skinning falls back to previous skinning (if it fails to load or run)

so you end up with vista windows with no aero theme

...inside of win11

ms' reasoning? backwards compatibility

which is entirely bullshit

[cinder patio]

I really want to move to Linux but I just can't

[lyric mountain]

manjaro is arch-based

it's like, not the best "experience" for a first-timer

also u can always just dual-boot it

[cinder patio]

Well I have experience with Linux in general I just haven't used it for my own stuff, only for servers

Eh I don't see a point in dual-booting in my case I either commit to it or stay with windows

[lyric mountain]

use a windows vm inside linux then

[vivid fulcrum]

this os is a dumpster fire

the only thing they got right about win11 is boot time

I think the design is ok, on the same level as win10 just different

BUT WHY THE HELL CAN'T WE DRAG AND DROP IN THE TASKBAR WTF??

Such a questionable choice

what were they thinking

[lyric mountain]

that was supposed to be a bug, but apparently they forgot to fix it

the worst abt w11 is the context menu

FIRST thing I did after updating was changing the registry to return to old menu

[cinder patio]

nah I don't believe that, that's a huge deal that literally anyone would notice within the first hour of usage

I don't buy it

[lyric mountain]

they did

the said it was a bug that'd be fixed

but wasn't yet, and nobody talked abt it anymore

[cinder patio]

And a few updates later.... still nothing 🤔

it was intentional

There's literally an X telling you you can't drag and drop when you try

There's no way they'd let such a huge bug slide

[boreal iron]

Nobody actually gives a fuck about the UI, you love it or not as simply as that

[vivid fulcrum]

said it was a bug, then backtracked and said it was intentional due to tablet support

[lyric mountain]

I'm trying to add a category title for each field and then loop through all commands and add those which have the same category that I'm looping

now I haven't used discord.js in a while but I'm sure doing that should return the string, right? how is that undefined

[lament rock]

embed field values cannot be an empty string

[ancient nova]

what are you saying

it's a foreach loop, for each category there is at least one command

I'm just filtering away the ones that don't have the same category

[lament rock]

embed.addField(name, condition ? value : emptyString)

That's your code

realistically, even the name could be an empty string

[ancient nova]

it's not, the embed sends with no errors

[lament rock]

Ok, so c2 is undefined

[ancient nova]

I assure you it's not

doing this sends a completely empty array

[lament rock]

An Array can be filled with undefined

[lyric mountain]

undefilled

[ancient nova]

it's not I'm 100% sure

I will log it just to prove it

[lament rock]

Plus, your code literally shows ${c2} being the value of the embed field. Nothing else could be undefined

[ancient nova]

they're... undefined....

[lament rock]

[ancient nova]

how?

[lament rock]

Log values leading up to it and look at your logic based on the values

[ancient nova]

it works I'm sure of it, as I've previously tested with one variable called output

[lament rock]

await has no effect on that forEach

[ancient nova]

it doesn't?

[lament rock]

the callback returns void, not Promise<void>

[ancient nova]

if it didn't it would underline it no?

[lament rock]

also, forEach doesn't respect await

[ancient nova]

okay I understand, how else am I supposed to write this then?

[lament rock]

You'd have to use a for loop for await

that's not the issue though

[ancient nova]

it's not undefined, finalCommand for some reason doesn't push to the array

it shouldn't be undefined

[lament rock]

log everything then

[ancient nova]

as you saw the finalCategory push worked, finalCommand didn't

I don't need to log anything because I fully know what everything is doing now

what I don't know is why it doesn't push the array

[lament rock]

Then can you explain what is causing the undefined

[tidal nymph]

better use TS 🤔

[lament rock]

If you cannot explain why something is happening, then you don't have enough info

[ancient nova]

I don't know?? I've sent all there is to my code

[lament rock]

you can use breakpoints in vscode to check values at runtime. Of course, this requires running the app through vscode

[ancient nova]

I haven't configured my intelisense for JS yet

well.. not fully at least

[lament rock]

It'd require you to type annotate just about everything

[vivid fulcrum]

i think i did something wrong

[lament rock]

Oof

that is a big popout

might be based on dimensions

[vivid fulcrum]

yeah

default path for my icon is for a 256x256 one

[ancient nova]

OH MY GOD

[vivid fulcrum]

need to fall back to a 26x26

[ancient nova]

now you know that it's not undefined

[boreal iron]

You should try to avoid to repeat the same field title over and over again and sort them all under the right title

[ancient nova]

message.author.hasPermission is not a function

what was it changed to?

[sharp geyser]

It was never a thing to begin with

message.author returns a user object, users don't have permissions members do. You'd want to end up using message.member instead

[ancient nova]

yeah I just realized that

ERROR Unhandled rejection: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

in my ban command, I check for permissions to ban, but the cause of this is that it can't ban members with the higher permissions, how do I fix this?

[sharp geyser]

Mmm one method is you can check if the member you are trying to ban has a higher role then the person banning.

If their role is higher they can't ban them

[ancient nova]

the lower roles could also have more permissions which is when I would still get that error popping up in the console

[sharp geyser]

Check if they have admin or the ban permission ig

[ancient nova]

alright

thanks

[ancient nova]

how come does this still give me the error

perhaps something else is causing it???

[sharp geyser]

Okay well why are you using a try catch if you aren't going to do anything with the error

[ancient nova]

as an easy way out, I already made an error handler so I don't actually need that

[sharp geyser]

Also it could be an issue of the client not having the right perms to ban

which discord.js has a handy prop on the member object called bannable which checks if the client user can ban the user

[ancient nova]

I have a permission check just a above all this code

oh didn't know that

is it just member.bannable?

[sharp geyser]

if member is the person being banned then yes

[ancient nova]

const member = message.mentions.members.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]) || message.guild.members.cache.find(r => r.user.username.toLowerCase() === args.join(' ').toLocaleLowerCase()) || message.guild.members.cache.find(r => r.displayName.toLowerCase() === args.join(' ').toLocaleLowerCase());

this is what defines my member variable

[sharp geyser]

ok

[ancient nova]

@sharp geyser I do assume there is an opposite of ban which would be the unban

how do I achieve that? client.users.fetch?

[sharp geyser]

You can use GuildMemberManager#unban

[ancient nova]

how do I use that?

I have no idea about the new API

[sharp geyser]

Look at the docs

[ancient nova]

I made bots back in 2018 I just started making them again

[sharp geyser]

Ok, well look at the docs and look for exactly what I just said

it has an example

[ancient nova]

can you send me the docs or give an example or anything that could help me

[sharp geyser]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=unban

[ancient nova]

what is guild?

it doesn't explain the definition of that

and it is not predefined

[pale vessel]

...a guild?

[earnest phoenix]

guild is just a placeholder, indicating that it's a instance of the Guild class

[sharp geyser]

👀

[ancient nova]

Error [BAN_RESOLVE_ID]: Couldn't resolve the user id to unban.

[pale vessel]

await your promises

[boreal iron]

Also when using fetch as first and trying to get the user from the cache when it fails, that won’t make sense

[sharp geyser]

fetch is something you'd wanna do last from my understanding

[boreal iron]

fetch does search the cache before requesting the api

[boreal iron]

Well he dont need fetch and cache

[sharp geyser]

Mmm, but if it isn't in cache member will be undefined no?

[boreal iron]

Either you wanna take something from the cache (only) or by using fetch you search the cache as first and if no result was found you force an api request

[sharp geyser]

Mmm true

That makes more sense

I forgot fetch searches cache first

[boreal iron]

Yeah lot of people forget about that

[ancient nova]

what's wrong? :/

[earnest phoenix]

The <Client>.users.fetch() method returns a promise, resolve it

[boreal iron]

Isn’t that what flazepe already said?

[sharp geyser]

Sometimes it takes 2 people to finally get something through to people

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, they don't seem to either understand I suppose

[quartz kindle]

also that forEach wont be caught by the try catch

[ancient nova]

I already have it didn't help

[quartz kindle]

if you already had it why did you remove it

[ancient nova]

wanted to see if that was causing the issue

if I have no idea what's causing it I have to trial and error until it works

[boreal iron]

You didn’t await the first fetch

Means the member will be the argument

Probably just a mention

Which is no valid member resolvable

Therefore it fails

[ancient nova]

    if (!member) return message.channel.send("Could not find the member.");

    try {
        await message.guild.members.unban(member).then((member) => {
            return message.channel.send(`:wave: ${member.user.tag} (${member.user.id}) was unbanned in this server by ${message.author.id}`);
        });
    } catch (e) {
        if (`${e}`.includes("Couldn't resolve the user id to unban.")) {
            try {
                await message.guild.bans.fetch().then(bans => {
                    try {
                        bans.forEach(banned => {
                            if (banned.user.username === member) {
                                try {
                                    message.guild.members.unban(banned.user.id);
                                    return message.channel.send(`:wave: ${member.user.tag} (${member.user.id}) was unbanned in this server by ${message.author.id}`);

                                    return message.channel.send("I do not have the permissions to unban that specific person or that person doesn't exist or was not banned.");
                                }
                            }
                        });
                    } catch (e) {
                        return message.channel.send("I do not have the permissions to unban that specific person or that person doesn't exist or was not banned.");

            return message.channel.send("I do not have the permissions to unban that specific person or that person doesn't exist or was not banned.");
        }
    }

well this is my current, very terrible code

still doesn't work and Tim made me even more parandoid

[boreal iron]

Now you cut off where member is defined

[earnest phoenix]

[boreal iron]

Which is still missing the await on the fetch

[ancient nova]

I have no idea what you're trying to tell me

[ancient nova]

WHERE

I'm getting 404: Not Found error

[earnest phoenix]

You have way too many try-catch blocks for no reason, I would rewrite it for you but that's just spoonfeeding

[ancient nova]

does that ever happen

[boreal iron]

const member = …

[ancient nova]

please do I'm too tired

it's literally 3 AM

[ancient nova]

it is awaited

[boreal iron]

It’s not in here

[sharp geyser]

sorry but voltrex is already spoonfeeding me /s

[ancient nova]

well you're not the only one who needs to be spoonfed today

[sharp geyser]

This is a joke

[ancient nova]

I accidentally didn't include it here, but yes I have added the await on it

[ancient nova]

I know

[sharp geyser]

Voltrex just makes my shit code that works better

[boreal iron]

lol Voltrex making something better

Best joke ever

[ancient nova]

[sharp geyser]

Didn't you just have a session with tim last night?

🤔

[earnest phoenix]

I would love to hear you say that again when I transfer you to a better place when I detonate those bombs in your car and house

[boreal iron]

That was a private session

[boreal iron]

[sharp geyser]

Didn't you have to rewrite your code like 4 times after tim pointed out your performance issues

[boreal iron]

I bought Tim for 1000 bucks means I can abuse him as much as I like to

[sharp geyser]

LMFAO

I missed the tim auction?

damn

[boreal iron]

He said 1000 is enough

[ancient nova]

so like I'm still waitiing :c

[earnest phoenix]

I've promised to not spoon-feed someone much, but okay I'll do so just for you; this time

[ancient nova]

thanks

[sharp geyser]

Voltrex make sure they understand what is happening if you actually do spoonfeed

spoonfeeding without learning is useless

[ancient nova]

I feel like I've won at life right now

[ancient nova]

you could add // notes but I feel like I would learn what I need even if it's spoonfed

you have a general idea of what it's doing and when you recieve the code you go through it and make your own changes that's how you learn

[sharp geyser]

I somehow doubt this when you don't understand how async/await works

[ancient nova]

I do, I told you I haven't used JS much lately

so @earnest phoenix how's it going?

[sharp geyser]

Be patient

damn

[ancient nova]

I wasn't expecting you to write anything large, just show me how to make it work

[ancient nova]

I am...

[boreal iron]

Your code is a horrible mess, so give him a few minutes

[ancient nova]

I wrote it this badly because of what Tim said

all of my other scripts are written much better, neater and with much better syntax

if you saw how I program things in Java and c# you'd be surprised

[quartz kindle]

you didnt pay tho

:^)

[quartz kindle]

because you're writing it wrong

your entire code can be greatly simplified if you stop mixing await and .then

just stick to await

[boreal iron]

Shut up bitch and clean my floor, I payed for it

[quartz kindle]

and remove all .thens

[sharp geyser]

Damn

FakE violent to tim

[quartz kindle]

where money

[boreal iron]

After cleaning the floor

[quartz kindle]

money first

[boreal iron]

:P

[ancient nova]

who's fault is that

[quick terrace]

Anyone know why the Java SDK suddenly can't be found when I try to find it via maven? https://upload.livaco.dev/u/YRyXjMSUTD.png

[sharp geyser]

yours

completely yours

[ancient nova]

no

it is absolutely not

[quartz kindle]

yours?

[ancient nova]

why is everybody saying that

[sharp geyser]

You can't push the blame onto someone else cause you can't write code

[ancient nova]

no, I'm blaming JavaScript and the way it is made

[quartz kindle]

lol

you think js is bad because you're writing it in an ugly way?

[sharp geyser]

I mean there is a lot I find fault with js but you are just using it wrong that is that

[ancient nova]

I wrote it like that because I had no other choice

we'll see what Voltrex does

[quartz kindle]

of course you did

as i said, dont mix await and .then

[ancient nova]

yeah but before you told me that

[quartz kindle]

what did i say?

[sharp geyser]

there is no point in using .then when using await as far as I know

[ancient nova]

to add await and that the try catch won't work

so I added more of them

and more awaits

[sharp geyser]

👀

[quartz kindle]

i didnt say to add more .thens

[ancient nova]

I wanted to tell you that

[ancient nova]

I meant the try catch statements

I only added 1 more

of then

because I needed to

[quartz kindle]

you didnt

[lament rock]

You can chain Promises with .then such as request.get(url).then(r => r.json())

[sharp geyser]

I'd ask my question about using glob here but this guy is the prominent topic rn so I will wait

[quartz kindle]

if you use async await syntax everywhere, you only need one trycatch for everything

[ancient nova]

😮

[quartz kindle]

and if you want to catch separate errors differently, you can use a null then combined with an if

[ancient nova]

I'm scared of what Voltrex is writing

[boreal iron]

He’s probably crazy enough to write it on mobile, so.. be patient

[sharp geyser]

 await application.addMultipleIn('routes/**/*.ts')

addMultipleIn keeps returning an empty array when trying to look in the routes folder for ts files. I haven't used globs before but this seems to be how you'd do it

I might be wrong tho

[ancient nova]

oh, then I shall

I know how tedious that can be

[earnest phoenix]

// Before all of this, check if the client has the `BAN_MEMBERS` permission, as that permission is required to unban a banned member.
if (!message.guild.me.permissions.has('BAN_MEMBERS')) {
  await message.reply({
    content:
      'I need the `Ban Members` permission to unban a member.'
  });

  return;
}

const arg0 = args[0];
const member =
  // Fetch the banner member by ID using the first argument.
  await client.users.fetch(arg0).catch(() => {
    // If the client has the permission to manage the server, get the member by username or tag from the banned members list.
    if (message.guild.me.permissions.has('MANAGE_GUILD'))
      return message.guild.bans.fetch(arg0)
        .then((ban) => ban.user)
        .catch(() => undefined);

    // Otherwise return undefined
    return undefined;
  });

// If the member is still not found by their username or tag, return and do something.
if (member === undefined) {
  await message.reply({ content: 'Member not found.' });

  return;
}

// Try unbanning the banned member
try {
  await message.guild.members.unban(member.id);

  // Clarify that the member has successfully been unbanned.
} catch {
  // Clarify that there was an error unbanning the banned member, probably a permission error or something from Discord's end.
}

My god

[sharp geyser]

Oh god voltrex finally finished

do you need some water?

[sharp geyser]

What is the difference of doing if(member === undefined) instead of if(!member)

[ancient nova]

I can't believe how well written this is

really nice thanks
