Using the strict equality operator (===) to compare them is faster than using the logical NOT operator (!) since it compares against multiple values rather than one constant value

ancient nova

does that work in c#?

Wtf that is cool didn't know that
The logical NOT operator (!) is generally meant for booleans only, as for the same concept in many statically typed programming languages, not for every value that exists to cast it to a boolean
boreal iron
Ir doesn’t make a noticeable difference between calling the var or array item
sharp geyser
The logical NOT operator (`!`) is generally meant for booleans only, as for the ...
So basically it was meant to compare boolean values?
earnest phoenix
That’s just micro optimizations
Optimization is optimization. 
earnest phoenix
how much faster?
Not much, but negligible to sat the least
boreal iron
True but as long as you’re just calling stuff which is already available in the memory defining another var for it seems pointless
earnest phoenix
So basically it was meant to compare boolean values?
It's mostly just meant to negate a boolean value to it's opposite bit, those operators aren't really supposed to be used on giant objects and classes and all kinds of other values to cast them into booleans forcefully, which can take a while depending on the type of the value
boreal iron
If you would for example use length a few times on the same array, in a loop, then creating a var once calling length would make sense
quartz kindle
even i dont micro optimize THAT much
earnest phoenix
I'm THE optimizer, don't get in my way!
boreal iron
Or in the case and only then, when you’re calling a god damn long var nested in an object or deep array, creating a reference makes sense

dont they carry a boolean valueOf-like all the time?
like stuff in js is either considered truthy or falsy, dont all data types have that already pre-defined?
earnest phoenix
Not really, they used to have an internal slot for that but it was removed due to it causing issues in edge cases, I don't remember what the edge cases were but they existed apparently
quartz kindle
so what does it do instead? check if value is any of the truthy types?
an object cannot possibly be false, so what else does it need to check?
if typeof === object, automatically return true
earnest phoenix
It basically compares against a constant set of values, depending on the primitive type of the value, it returns the corresponding set to compare against, and if one matches, it negates it using the rule of the matched value, all of the values in the sets have their rules on how to cast a value to a boolean
In other words, if the value that has to be casted to a boolean matches the set of elements in it's own primitive type category, it picks the correct rule to cast the value to a boolean by
It's like a chamber of constant truthy and falsey values with categories assigned to them
where to implement this code ?
boreal iron
where to implement this code ?
I’m missing the context a little bit but that code was part of an example of code you can use in the description of your bot on topgg
ancient nova
MessageEMbed decription must be a string
boreal iron
It does support html
boreal iron
You’re defining fields not a description
ancient nova
yeah yeah I forgot to change that
boreal iron
But using the wrong method for
ancient nova
by the way that code looks cleaner does it not?
that is how I usually write
not that mess I wrote earlier
now I'm getting MessageEmbed field values must be non-empty strings.
earnest phoenix
It's rather self-explanatory, either the content or the author property of the recentSnipe object is an empty string
Maybe try logging them and see
ancient nova
I don't think so, I would get an error
it does work when I send a message but not when I delete an image
but that's why I added that ternary operator
earnest phoenix
And you've got an error, try logging those properties when you use them and see what they really are
boreal iron
You wouldn’t get an error if they are null or u defined
quartz kindle
you dont need to add async everywhere and use trycatch everywhere
boreal iron
If any property would be null or undefined you’re try catch clause wouldn’t error
ancient nova
I know I added that catch there for testing
boreal iron
Well just log your content, author, etc. and you will see the issue
boreal iron
That will actually cause a new error
If content is null or undefined a property length won’t exist
ancient nova
ancient nova
If content is null or undefined a property length won’t exist

in body tag ?
boreal iron
Then just do if(!sniper.content.trim()) // no content
boreal iron
in body tag ?
You don’t need the html or body tags
You can simply use the style element as in my example
And put it in the description
(on top)
Before calling the classes
(if there is one to call in it, don’t remember the code anymore)
ancient nova
Then just do if(!sniper.content.trim()) // no content
the trim() method is not a boolean.. I think?
at this point I'm more confused with JS than I am with batch
boreal iron
Wut?
earnest phoenix
You don’t need the html or body tags
okay
ancient nova
how does the trim() method work that makes it act like a boolean?
boreal iron
trim trims the content of any unnecessary white spaces
ancient nova
I thought it removed unnecessary space chars
ancient nova
precisely so it does nto act like a boolean
boreal iron
What does it need to?
ancient nova
I mean if you're using it in an if statement, yes?
boreal iron
If the content IS empty then !content is true
earnest phoenix
Just do content === '', god damn
ancient nova
Just do `content === ''`, god damn

boreal iron
Nobody does that
quartz kindle
also im pretty sure you cant ever receive a content from discord that only has whitespaces

That uglier style is yo- I'm advised to not continue further with this joke.
boreal iron
if that bypasses discord it will also bypass trim()
Hmm actually true but I’m not sure how trim gets rid of what exactly
earnest phoenix
FakE try to conform to micro optimizations challenge
boreal iron
Ah yeah nvm then
Well it actually wouldn’t matter then anyways
With or without it
I still don’t get why it has to return a boolean value just because I used it in the statement but okay
But he seems to be missing some fundamentals of JavaScript obviously
quartz kindle
how hes scared for life, will never use !somethign again
boreal iron
.-.
quartz kindle
at some point they will try using !Boolean(something)
and then eventually realize thats even slower
boreal iron
I don’t wanna sleep now after seeing that
Just do
content === '', god damn
That could cause a nightmare
ancient nova
do you guys have any idea for commands?
boreal iron
and then eventually realize thats even slower
You shouldn’t complain about others when it comes to optimizations and benchmarking, Sir
ancient nova

escape your custom prefix or it'll be treated as a regex
you do not want your code to be vulnerable against ReDoS
function escapeRegExp(text) {

await interaction.guild.members.fetch().then(async members => {

uh what exactly are you trying to do
probably easier this way

uh what exactly are you trying to do
if someone does say -help I want it to work since that' the correct prefix, but instead if they did @mention help I want it still to work
split hazel

If you haven’t found the prefix you automatically assume the mention has been used as prefix without checking for it
ancient nova
it doesn't react to !help or dhelp but it reacts to -help (the correct prefix) @mention help but also reacts to some weird anomalies sometimes, and i something something help appears to be one of them
boreal iron
Make sure to check either the prefix has been used OR the mention

this kind of thing is complicated for a beginner (i assume anyways) so im just gonna give you the code and explain it to you
// Check if message either starts with prefix or "<mention> " (keep the space in mind).
if (!message.content.startsWith(settings.prefix)) && !message.content.startsWith(`<@${client.id}> `)) return;
// Create variables.
// Create arguments which will omit the command/prefix.
let args = message.content.split(" ");
let cmd;
// If settings prefix has been used.
if (message.content.startsWith(settings.prefix) {
// Remove the prefix from the first argument and set it as the command.
cmd = args[0].slice(settings.prefix.length);
args = args.slice(1);
} else {
// If mention has been used.
// Simply set the second argument as the command.
cmd = args[1];
args = args.slice(2);
}
// continue your processing
of course tune it to your use case
besides you should be using slash command realistically

how do I output 1st, same with 2 being 2nd and 3 being 3rd
same with bigger numbers such as 21st
quartz kindle
either make a list yourself or you can use the Intl api
ancient nova
a list? you mean like every single number?
quartz kindle
you dont need every single number, just follow the ordinal rules
ex if number ends with 1, add "st"
if number ends with 2, add "nd"
quartz kindle
yes there is
ancient nova
is this gonna work?
this is just an example I'm obviously not gonna make it look this bad
quartz kindle
if number is a string yes
since endswith and startswith are string methods
that end there is not valid js tho
ancient nova
nesting more statements is gonna make it look slightly ugly
quartz kindle
nah
ancient nova
it is though :/
and I'm gonna have to make them be upfront as well
so it's gonna be 11, 12, 1, 2, 3
are there any more such exceptions
quartz kindle
heres an example of how someone else did it
craggy pine
function getNumberWithOrdinal(n) {
var s = ["th", "st", "nd", "rd"],
v = n % 100;

regardless you dont need to use await there
you might be looking for bot.fetch_user instead, which does fetch the user from discord if not cached, and does require await
robust crown

robust crown
works good thank you
marble juniper
you might be looking for bot.fetch_user instead, which does fetch the user from ...
Random but why would anyone use bot.get_user then instead of bot.fetch_user if bot.fetch_user does the same thing just with a promise and a fetch of the user if its not cached
Doing bot.get_user and checking if its None and then fetching the user would just be doing bot.fetch_user with an extra step
sharp geyser
I honestly think it is just there to be there
marble juniper
Yeah
sharp geyser
They dont prepare that much
marble juniper
I think so
sharp geyser

In djs the fetch method checks cache first lol
but since djs Caches everything you sometimes don't need any fetch functions unless you know they are not gonna be cached
Such as a user that is not in a server the bot is in
sharp geyser
In djs the fetch method checks cache first lol
It literally just fetches from the api
so ye

data = await self.http.get_user(user_id)
return User(state=self._connection, data=data)
Ig tim should have said then
use get_user first and then check if its None
And if it is then use fetch_user
Wonder why dpy just doesn't remove the extra step and checks cache in the fetch function
sharp geyser
Cause they don't prepare that far ahead
marble juniper
Why not
sharp geyser
We are meming but there is probably a valid reason why they haven't
sharp geyser
So ur telling me python devs aint smart

Because it's pointless and goes against the idea of fetching from API
It's up to you to handle. Cache can be out of date in rare cases and that's why you'd want to fetch data from the API directly
get_user(id) or await fetch_user(id)

There's the option of having users type something as a separator
Maybe \n could work, so that users would use that for a linebreak
marble juniper
true
Or just discord adds multi line support to string interaction options to desktop for once
compact briar
Maybe \n could work, so that users would use that for a linebreak
\n doesnt work as it just sees it as part of the string
slender thistle
Yes
And you replace that with characters for newline so that it becomes a newline

yeah theres no chance i can even get people to use \n correctly. i get multiple dms a week because someone couldnt read correctly.

Modals support text fields and text areas which support multi line text input
An easy example how to use it, is to execute slash command with all options you need to have, then when sending the command return a modal with a text field or text area to collect whatever you need.
Once the user is confirming that modal, take all options together and modal to do whatever you wanna do with that command

how do i make my bot come online in my server?
boreal iron
You invite your bot, then start the application
deep prairie
i think i didnt do that
how do i invite my bot to my server then start the application
boreal iron
The developer portal of Discord has an URL generator
Select your app -> OAuth2 -> Select the scopes and permissions
deep prairie
do i click new application
boreal iron
Well if you haven't did so yet, you don't have an application
If you dont have a car you can't drive "your" car
vivid fulcrum
ah yes webpacked code noob code
deep prairie
which one should i select
boreal iron
depends on what you sort of app you wanna create
deep prairie
i invited my bot to my server
boreal iron
a bot connected to the gateway will require the bot scope
if you wanna create application commands, too, then both are required
deep prairie
so how do i create it
boreal iron
By coding it?!
deep prairie
how do i code it
boreal iron
Choose a language you like and you're familiar with, then decide if you wanna use a library or create the gateway connections and rest API calls yourself
deep prairie
how do i create the gateway
vivid fulcrum
you should probably consider using a library
and even before that, you should consider getting yourself familiar with the programming language you're going to use
boreal iron
huh cry still alive 
deep prairie
my bot is still offline
vivid fulcrum
you have to use a programming language and a library for discord that corresponds to your programming language
this requires prior knowledge in computer science basics
vivid fulcrum

a discord bot is not a magic thing that comes on by itself
it's just an interface

How do I make a Discord bot?
Since code is required to run a bot, we very strongly recommend that you have some programming experience before making your own. Note that code is executed and a bot is the product of that code; a bot is not something into which code is loaded, and a bot will not automatically do anything unless you program it accordingly. With some programming knowledge, the first step to developing a bot is to create a new application at https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me. You should then read the documentation regarding the Discord API on the same site. Following that, you may want to pick a community-supported API library in a programming language of your choice. Each library will have its own set of documentation and instructions for developing applications, which you should read and follow before writing your bot code.
i.e. you should probably familiarize yourself with computer science basics and a programming language before continuing with a discord bot
a great introduction is cs50 by harvard

quartz kindle

do you know what "case sensitive" means?
deep prairie
no
hybrid cargo
yeah im out
Tim
quartz kindle
"case" means uppercase or lowercase letters
for example "A" is uppercase, "a" is lowercase
deep prairie
kk
quartz kindle
case sensitive means that uppercase and lowercase letters have different meanings in code
deep prairie
oh
quartz kindle
you cannot freely use one or the other
deep prairie
what do i need to do
quartz kindle
as i explained, Const with an uppercase C is not valid code
deep prairie
should i make it lowercase
quartz kindle
yes
deep prairie
now it says Unexpected token
quartz kindle
and here, this is not the same word, these are two different words, so logically it will not work
boreal iron
Also remove the unnecessary spaces anywhere

because the case is different
boreal iron
They aren't valid, too
deep prairie

yeah delete your entire file, and start from scratch, but this time learn some basics, follow guides, read documentations, etc
boreal iron
I'm sure that code block looks funny on mobile
deep prairie
but i follow what youtube says
spark flint
yeah its fucked on mobile, but it looks nice on pc so
deep prairie
oh
quartz kindle
if you're following a youtube video, first make sure its updated, things change very fast with discord.js
if your video is not made for version 13 of discord.js, then its outdated and you should not follow it
spark flint
https://capy-cdn.xyz/AbZ5yjfmqxwJ.png thats what its meant to look like
idk why js is fucking it up
quartz kindle
second, pay attention to the video, you are not doing it like the video shows

if you were, you wouldnt be writing invalid code
i dobut the video is showing you invalid code, i know youtube videos are garbage but even that cant be that garbage
deep prairie

deep prairie
unless someone can zoom me and i share my screen then someone can control my screen and show me

there are a lot of things you did wrong
thats why i said, pay attention

deep prairie
can someone zoom me and show me
quartz kindle
no
deep prairie
why

unless you pay them
boreal iron
:P
deep prairie
i tried myself and idk how
boreal iron
and there we go, back to the capitalism
quartz kindle
you literally copied wrong lol
deep prairie
i just give up then
quartz kindle
just go back to the video, watch it again, and copy it right

why does `ownerName` keeps giving me an error?

sharp geyser
if you only need the owner name and nothing else then do what fake said
earnest phoenix
const owner = await guild.fetchOwner() then use owner.user.tag or something
But I think it's easier this way
sharp geyser
It leads you to making a useless variable tbh
If all you need is the owners name why bother putting the entire owner object into a variable
earnest phoenix
Yea you are right
ancient nova
If all you need is the owners name why bother putting the entire owner object in...
they removed guild.owner.name
so can't do it any other way
sharp geyser
that is why you get the tag from the user
ancient nova
but you can't get the user unless u fetch the owner
bt the way @sharp geyser can you test my bot out

Idrk what the issue is at this point but going from his original problem he was trying to get the owner's name and couldnt
earnest phoenix
why does `ownerName` keeps giving me an error?
also you are pulling not only the server owner tag also the id
earnest phoenix
const owner = await guild.fetchOwner() then use owner.user.tag or something
Then use this way get guild owner as a object
sharp geyser
huh

What should I use in place of interaction.user.hasPermission()

interaction.member is a thing last I recall

interaction.member.hasPermission()
What should I use in place of this
Coz its deprecated
boreal iron
ofc only if the command has been used in a guild
stoic eagle
Yep
boreal iron
member.permissions.has(...)
sharp geyser
But then you can just check the channel type and ignore the permission thing
stoic eagle
But it doesn't worked
earnest phoenix
Then show your code maybe?

proven lantern
i have a record command that updates 2 elo ratings. one is a combined elo rating and one is a distinct elo rating.
so if you play a 1v1 match you'll have a 1v1s rating and a 1s rating. if you play another match, but this time it's 1v1v1 then you have a new 1v1v1s rating and update the 1s rating.
my question is what would be the best way to handle undoing a recording? for instance if someone tried to undo the first 1v1 match before undoing the second 1v1v1 match it would mess up the combined elo rating, but the distinct would be correct. should I force the user to undo in order or let them undo out of order with a warning? or maybe force them to choose which type of rating they want to use, but that'll probably be too confusing.

by the way what is the point of that (async() => ())
sharp geyser
If you deleted the async function it should work
The problem likely was you didn't have a semi after the console log so it thought the below was it's function call (or that is what I think is happening as it's happened in the past to me)
sharp geyser
You can keep the async function there just put a semi on the console log
fathom sonnet
ok deleted await
sharp geyser
sharp geyser
public async send(data: MessageSendData): Promise<Message> {
return await this.client.rest.post(`/channels/${this.id}/messages`, data);
}
Alright so this is supposed to return a message object right? Well the thing is when I go to use .then when using the send method the type of the data returned is an object (rightfully so), so I am wondering what would be the most logical way to convert the data sent to a Message, I already made a parse method like tim suggested on the Message class but I am still unsure of how I should actually do this logically
message.channel.send({ content: 'Hello World!' }).then((msg) => {
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(typeof msg);
console.log('Done');
// msg.edit({ content: 'Fuck off' });
}, 5000);
});
As in this example below
msg is a object and not the Message instance it should be

sharp geyser
Indeed it is
quartz kindle
did you console.log the data from the post and check if your Message class is compatible with it?
sharp geyser

- For MESSAGE_CREATE and MESSAGE_UPDATE events, the message object may not contain a guild_id or member field since the events are sent directly to the receiving user and the bot who sent the message, rather than being sent through the guild like non-ephemeral messages.
I see
So I wont always get the guild_id
If there isn't always a guild_id then that means I have ot think of another way to get the guild when it isn't there

you can: ```js
if(!message.channel.nsfw) {
message.reply('You can use this command only in NSFW tagged channels !!')
return
}
to check if channel have nsfw on
ancient nova
no I don't want that. I want to check if I'm executing this message in a server, cause I want this command to be able to be used in dms too
sharp geyser
Check the channel type
ancient nova
how?
sharp geyser
Text Channels and DM Channels have a different type attached to the channel object
ancient nova
I know that. I have no idea how to access that
I'm not at all famliar with the disscord API
sharp geyser
By reading the docs and realizing there is a type prop on the channel object
ancient nova
message.channel.type === "guild"
sharp geyser
no
ancient nova
then show me how to properly do it
sharp geyser
type is a enum (which evaluates to a number in the end)
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/typedef/ChannelType
All I will give you is this, use one of these to check it
ChannelType is something you can import from discord.js btw

found problem...it was fetch version
vivid fulcrum
and even then, djs translates the enum again internally if used in an api request

what's wrong with the code?
vivid fulcrum
you tell us, it's your code
ancient nova
if it's a guild then fetch all otherwise filter
sharp geyser
Whenever it says Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'x'), it typically means that whatever is before 'x' is undefined
vivid fulcrum
@sharp geyser here's how they do it if you're interested https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/blob/v13/src/util/Constants.js#L537-L552
basically they input an array of strings that they're going to use as enums and spit back out an object that automatically translates string values to their corresponding int
sharp geyser
Mmm, I myself just use enums directly

this allows you to use strings without bothering yourself with numbers
