development

[wooden ember]

fair enough, they are getting better but i still refuse to use them

and 90% of the servers im in people dont like them and would rather use normal prefixed commands

prefixed commands are just easyer to use and implament and i cant help but think on the bot end they are massivly over complicated to make work

[winter pasture]

To be fair, I have felt that slash commands have been easier for me

• No need to implement my own permission system (Slash commands v2 allows server admins to set their own in the Discord UI)
• No need to store users locale, able to provide localized commands out of the box
• Input validation on the client, users make less mistakes when trying to run a command
• The users have used more of the commands of the bot, as it is easier to explore the commands using the slash command list
• With the new Bot Discovery you get automated list of what commands the bot has, no need to manually paste it to the bot overview
• Ability to run my Bot Gateway and Slash Commands handler in separate services (using the HTTP endpoint option in the discord developer panel)

[wooden ember]

i mean i will say its a much more solid way of implementing bot stuff

but like my bots are really simple and / commands are just like trying to push a nail in with an anvil

but then im betting thats discords way of discouraging people who dont know how to code to make bots so that they dont have to deal with so many dead bot accounts and badly made bots

but idk

[winter pasture]

Well… slash commands a few months ago was absolutely garbage. So I understand why people hate it and it got a awful reputation from the start

[solemn latch]

I think slash commands are actually more for user benefit.
How many times do bot support servers get asked how to run a command, or ask what the prefix is?

It's also a great way for users to see every command they can run instead of looking through each bots help command for what they want.

We are not that far away from bots that don't support slash won't be invited by server owners just because they are harder for users to use or may be confusing to new discord users.

Long term you'll be only hurting your bot by not supporting slash

Thankfully if you use a good command handler it's really not that hard to upgrade to slash, or to support both.

[hybrid cargo]

Tbh the hate it received was mostly due to the fact that discord just shut down doors for message intent and bots that require that just for the message based commands. New developers started shitting on slash cuz it was a bit hard for them to understand the concept of command, sub command group and sub command and the awful nesting of stuffs it has. But yeah imo slash command was always the better way as u didnt have to worry about dealing with parsing arguments. Plus the query could be perfect, reducing so many error checks that we need to do with normal message based commands

[solemn latch]

It also received hate just because it's change.

We have had this awful prefix system forever, it's really hard sometimes to see a change is for the better.

[fervent moss]

Regenrated it 7 times

But doesn't work

[winter pasture]

Mind sharing the code where you set and use the Topgg sdk? (remember to remove the API key)

[rose warren]

Fr. Now bots on Discord are actually treated properly like bots instead of basically being user clients.

[rose warren]

Also this ☝️ 💯

Making slash commands really isn't any different if you've made a good handler. My bot runs both prefixed commands and slash commands off the same file using the same code. If you make a good handler then your life becomes much easier. I actually enjoyed refactoring my code for slash integration. I didn't think I would before I started (I was kinda dreading it) but it's really not that hard.

If I was making a new bot today, I'd go 100% slash commands. I can't do that with my current bot because I have an established userbase and it would be a really bad idea to force it upon all my users, but I'd love to remove prefix support entirely one day.

I'm already going to add a feature where my users can disable prefixed commands in their servers so they can benefit from slash permissions if they want to.

[leaden zinc]

Hey. what's the best way to send a tabular format data in an embed? table2ascii works but the formatting breaks in mobile. I have three columns and can have at most 10 rows, any ideas on what's the best way to show this in an embed?

[rose warren]

Either make your table max width narrower so it works on mobile or use canvas and embed it as an image.

Or just host it on a webpage and post a link to it in your response

Like "see leaderboard here"

[fervent moss]

import express from 'express';

const server = express();
import client from "./index.js";  
import { MessageEmbed } from 'discord.js';


import Topgg from'@top-gg/sdk';
const api = new Topgg.Api('what you wanna see') //token


const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('see this guy again') // add your Top.gg webhook authorization (not bot token)


server.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.listener( async (vote) => {
await api.getBot('960381632471240744') // returns bot info
let a = bot.monthlyPoints
  console.log(a)
  // vote is your vote object
  let channelId = client.channels.cache.get(`971718503914680340`) 

const user = await client.users.fetch(vote.user) 


 let x = Math.floor((Date.now() / 1000) + 43200)
let y = Math.floor((Date.now()) / 1000)

  const exampleEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
	
	.setColor('RANDOM')
                 .setTitle(':doge_disco: New Vote On Top.GG :crazy: ')
.setURL('https://top.gg/bot/960381632471240744/vote')
	.setAuthor({ name: 'Role Icon#3800', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/Gm6IiXu.png', url: 'https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ' })
	.setDescription(`**${user.username}#${user.discriminator} Voted** For **Role Icon!** \n**Thanks** To Vote ❤️ ! \n[Vote Here Directly](https://top.gg/bot/960381632471240744/vote) `)
	.setThumbnail(user.displayAvatarURL())

	.addFields(
		{ name: 'Voted At:', value: `<t:${y}:f>` },
    { name: 'Can Vote Again At :', value: `<t:${x}:R>` }

) 
  
	
	
	.setTimestamp();
	

   



channelId.send({ embeds: [exampleEmbed] });
user.send("You Voted!");
  setTimeout(() => {
  user.send("You fan agin vote");
}, 1 * 60 * 1000) //inwill change this to 12 hrs
}))






   server.listen(3000, ()=>{console.log("Server is online!")});

[leaden zinc]

was thinking about making it an image too but there will be data that users might want to copy, that's what stopping me from doing that. Hosting on a webpage is out of the question for me, the data is dynamic and can change and it can have stuff like server id too. so staying away from that too

[fervent moss]

Whole code @winter pasture

[rose warren]

Then your only option might be to code something yourself that makes it the right width and accounts for string length etc. I did this on my bot but had to code the whole thing myself so it could dynamically load the server's data into the table and respect max lengths and column widths. And it's just wide enough to work on mobile (but probably breaks on smaller devices or depending on a user's Discord settings like their zoom level). There's no perfect solution to this.

[winter pasture]

Why are you calling await api.getBot("960381632471240744"); you dont seem to be using it anywhere?

[fervent moss]

I will use it after that

Like to get monthly vote

See var a

[winter pasture]

Ah. I don`t see anything obviously wrong

And the token you are using, is it for the bot (960381632471240744) you are providing?

[slender thistle]

Has anyone introduced a Rust library for Top.gg API wrappers yet

[leaden zinc]

At this point I'm thinking just having a string with '-' as separator and informing the users first one relates to one field and second one to other is the best way lol

[hybrid cargo]

Would really love to see discord implement a feature like inbuilt table with pagination

[winter pasture]

https://docs.rs/top-gg/0.1.0-alpha.0/top_gg/ maybe. Never used it tho

[rose warren]

Fr. Tables and pagination could be made simpler.

[fervent moss]

Yes

[slender thistle]

LMAO it's 2 years old

And its GitHub homepage doesn't exist

[leaden zinc]

and an option to include multiple images in embeds. or is it already supported?

[fervent moss]

Should I share a ss of token with you for any reasons?

[rose warren]

Not within an embed.

[hybrid cargo]

I dont think multiple images within embeds is a thing

[winter pasture]

Lol. It is just a HTTP endpoint. No wrapper is really needed tbh

[leaden zinc]

yup. It would be good if they allow it in embeds

[rose warren]

But you can have multiple embeds in a message so you could just use your first embed and then have the other embeds after that just have images in them

Kinda hacky / spammy though

[winter pasture]

Humm these two
const api = new Topgg.Api('what you wanna see')
const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('see this guy again')

Just checking. These are two different secrets
Webhooks are the one you provide in "Authorization" field
https://i.imgur.com/xZsgf5K.png

The Topgg.Api is the one you generate and get one provided by Top.gg.

[hybrid cargo]

10 to be exact, so if they wanna have more than 10 images, then they gotta paginate it, or use multiple messages

[slender thistle]

tbh true, Rust's community in general are more experienced if we compare them to Python/JS

[rose warren]

Honestly if you're going to post 10 images in a single message I'd rather see you use pagination

[slender thistle]

But you'd be surprised how many people rely on wrappers

[winter pasture]

Try clicking the regenerate button, then clear cache + reload your tab, then copy it into your code (dont share it)

[leaden zinc]

I saw somewhere that if you send two embeds with same title and stuff, discord merges the two embeds. Is that true? When I checked last time it didn't work for me

[fervent moss]

Yeah one is auth and other one is token auth provided by me and one token by topmyg

[rose warren]

Never heard that and seems highly unlikely

[winter pasture]

Nice. Just wanted to verify. Try what I mentioned above by clicking regenerate then cache clear + tab reload

[fervent moss]

I am on mobile

[gilded plank]

In order to clear your cache for the site, press CTRL+F5.
If this does not work, try one of these resources below:

Instructions on Microsoft Edge

[winter pasture]

You should be able to clear cache on mobile too

[fervent moss]

Umm...ic

[fervent moss]

Yeah doing that throwed a new error

With same code

[wheat mesa]

That’s a js error, not a top.gg error. What’s your code

[wheat mesa]

Rust’s community is so incredibly helpful and nice, I love it

[fervent moss]

@wheat mesa

[slender thistle]

100% I agree with you Pancake

[wheat mesa]

You’re trying to use bot before bot is ever defined

In fact you never defined bot

It seems you’re importing your client from index.js, replace every occurrence of bot with client in that code pretty much

[fervent moss]

Oh oc

Ic

[winter pasture]

You are awaiting it, but not assigning the results to a const

It’s what I mentioned earlier when the await was not used

[fervent moss]

I wonder that's why it's giving me undefined

But if i remove await then it will give error right?

[winter pasture]

I’m cooking food atm. So can’t see it. But if I remember correctly no where in your code do you define “bot”

You need to assign your await to a const, then have it be json for you to use on the line below

[fervent moss]

Yeah solved that

[fervent moss]

a is const right?

[wheat mesa]

Well, a is a variable but not a const. For what @winter pasture meant though, it’s the same thing pretty much

[winter pasture]

You are just awaiting the getBot. But your not doing anything with it

And the line below you are trying to access bot. But you never defined bot anywhere

[fervent moss]

Yeah i changed bot to cleint

And now it works

But throws undefined in console.log

[winter pasture]

Yeah a DJS client does not have a monthlyPoints value on it

You need to use the getBot await your doing on the line above

[fervent moss]

So like let b = await......
And then b.monthlyPoint for var a?

[winter pasture]

Yeah

Not sure if you need to convert b to json first or if the lib does that for you

[fervent moss]

Works atlqst

Atlast

[winter pasture]

Nice 🎉

[fervent moss]

Thanks @winter pasture and @wheat mesa

[winter pasture]

Np

[winter pasture]

Hey. Just create a POST endpoint that validates the authentication header and give that to top.gg under the Webhooks setting
Docs here https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

Lol. Feel free to reach out here if ya need any help

[pine nova]

can topgg nodesdk be used with other frameworks than express? like koajs and stuff?

[winter pasture]

Not sure about the Webhook part of it, but the rest of the sdk, yeah

But again, it is literally just a POST with a Authentication header. Any decent JS dev should be able to create their own handler for the incoming POST

[pine nova]

i see

thanks

[lyric mountain]

not busy, I was just sleeping lmao

you can use a non-buffered stream

it might be faster since it'll be directly printing to stdout (no need to buffer)

buffer is mostly useful when dealing with images or files in general

you can also chunkify the string into, say, chunks of 1024 characters each and chain print (not println due to newline) calls, it might be faster than doing it all at once

or 512 chars, find out what's the best chunk size

oh and don't use printf, it's slower because the runtime needs to check for replacements, process the string before printing (unless the compiler changes this, idk)

you can also use JNI to go low level and a simple cpp cout function, although idk if print doesn't do that already

what length is he printing anyways

and why

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm, what discord.js version are you using?

Yea it was outdated discord.js bc of the new voice channel

[pulsar bloom]

The site dosen't show the servers my bot is in, how can I fix that?

Count of servers*

[earnest phoenix]

You need to post your bot's server count using the Top.gg API

[pulsar bloom]

Oh, alright will do, thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Depending on what programming language you're using, you can use a wrapper for it, for example; for JavaScript you can use https://npmjs.com/package/@top-gg/sdk

[slow ibex]

Hey its me again.. im doing some maintenance on my bot and noticed that lavacord stopped working on Discord.JS v13 (Bot is mute -.-)

any workaround so i dont have to rewrite everything for a new library?

[fervent moss]

Umm...yeah i can get all votes and voters but how do I make them together so that i can view it in a msg like-
User#1 - 1 vote
User#2 -2 vote

[earnest phoenix]

Lavacord was last updated around 6-7 months ago, you can't do much other than either using Lavalink natively or rewriting Lavacord yourself to be compatible with Discord.js v13

[slow ibex]

well.. any recommendations for a new library?

[split hazel]

can i rewrite lavalink in c++ :o

what does it even do

[slow ibex]

magical things

[split hazel]

meh not interested

looks like lavalink already achieves good enough performance with java

[earnest phoenix]

There's also https://www.npmjs.com/package/lavalink but that might also be outdated

[slow ibex]

Thx. i will take a look

[earnest phoenix]

You just map them if they're in an array using the Array.prototype.map() method, and join them to a string with the separator of choice using the Array.prototype.join() method, or you can also use a for loop to achieve the same thing

[fervent moss]

Thanks i would try 😃

[split hazel]

typescript users realizing they have to strongly type every object

💀

[earnest phoenix]

Just like every statically typed programming language

[split hazel]

its actually more lenient than you think

some json drivers anyways

you usually just do object["item"] or something like object.get("item")

and then cast it and then the language will do the rest

[earnest phoenix]

Although as I've seen, most of the TypeScript users think the object (or Object) type implies an object, but it actually implies the any type without any context

(They don't know Records exist)

[split hazel]

typescript users realizing the any type defeats the whole purpose of the language

javascript users realizing they have to remember what type is what because everything is basically the any type :c

hows the proposition that adds optional typing to js that replaces jsdoc by the way

probably got denied

[earnest phoenix]

JavaScript users mostly just rely on JSDocs to declare the types of things when they don't want to use TypeScript, or just pray for the IDE to figure it out

The proposal for optional typing is still up there

[split hazel]

python also has this kind of system but javascript needs it more i think

[earnest phoenix]

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations

[split hazel]

tc39 committee trying to find a good enough explanation to deny this

i really dont like how a lot of things have committee boards consisting of specific people

it adds a hell lot of bias

[slender thistle]

Both do imo

[split hazel]

i dont really find myself using the python static type system (maybe because i dont use it often)

idk theres just something about python

[slender thistle]

Perhaps. I find the type annotations quite helpful, even if the IDE doesn't take them into account

[split hazel]

kinda like it has more types overall and has a better type inference system

[earnest phoenix]

It'll probably get approved rather than being denied and thrown away in my opinion, this makes things a lot better but it can a burden to implement, considering the contexts, scopes, syntax grammar, and much more

[split hazel]

yeah

how will browser compatibility work

[round cove]

Does encountering a shard error just keep that shard offline? I imagine so.

[split hazel]

depends what you're using

but mostly it should auto restart

[round cove]

Hmm, I assume my starting logs would've outputted if they actually did restart, that or it doesn't re-emit ready for the bot.

[quartz kindle]

djs?

[round cove]

yes

[quartz kindle]

djs only emits ready the first time all shards identify

[round cove]

Ah okay.

[split hazel]

otherwise it will cause a lot of bugs

[quartz kindle]

any shard error will likely either not do anything, or trigger a resume, and upon failing that, a reidentify

[round cove]

Then maybe I can log all shards with the shard manager for djs? Surely I can get shar dinfo there.

Yeah noticed this earlier today

[   ERROR  - 6/12/2022, 5:26:48 PM ] - [ RoleBot ]  Encounted shard error.
[   CRITL  - 6/12/2022, 5:26:48 PM ] - [ RoleBot ]  Error: WebSocket was closed before the connection was established```

So I was like hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[quartz kindle]

afaik the shard manager doesnt emit shard logs, only process logs

[round cove]

Ah okay.

[quartz kindle]

the shard logs are in client.on("debug")

[round cove]

Each client instance can though.

Cool.

I'll probably just have it log in intervals then, thanks.

oh sorry it is encrypted with asymmetric encryption

[boreal iron]

decrypted and already on eBay

[split hazel]

for some reason when discord sends you the token when logging in with a qr code it encrypts it with a public key you specify which you then have to decrypt

i dont see the point

the connection already uses tls

[woeful pike]

obfuscation, most likely

[round cove]

Hi xet

I think this is all I wanted really.

[eternal osprey]

hey, how can i put my ngrok online 24/7 even when using ctrl + c (quit hotkey) on my ubuntu vps?

The server boots up, but as soon as i hit ctrl + c it quits

[spark flint]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65647056/how-do-i-made-ngrok-server-run-forever

[eternal osprey]

it's not really what i mean

[earnest phoenix]

screen?

[eternal osprey]

here look

i used ngrok http 3000 to start the server and now want to navigate to my root folder

but for that i need to use ctrl + c, but that quits the ngrok process

not sure if you guys understand me

[woeful pike]

they meant literally use the command called screen

[eternal osprey]

huh

[spark flint]

lol

[woeful pike]

but ngrok will also randomly die because it's not meant to be used this way in the free tier

so this sounds like a horrible idea

[eternal osprey]

what would you then recommend?

I am trying to create an endpoint to receive data from a webhook

[woeful pike]

enter the IP i guess

[spark flint]

how can i do Discord oauth when I'm doing my bot dashboard in Vue?

[round cove]

ctrl+z -> bg ?

[eternal osprey]

yeah but it needs to be port forwarded, as it needs to connect to another site

[woeful pike]

are you running a server on your home computer?

[eternal osprey]

No the vps has a server made with express

[woeful pike]

so why can't you just enter the IP or allow the port through the VPS firewall

[round cove]

If you're using ubuntu as you claim you can do sudo ufw allow [PORT]

[eternal osprey]

const express = require("express")
const bodyParser = require("body-parser")
const app = express()
const PORT = 3000

app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.body) 
    res.status(200).end()
  })
  app.post("/hook", (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.body) 
    res.status(200).end() 
 )
    
  })
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`))

can i?

[woeful pike]

[round cove]

Xet

[eternal osprey]

I never used the server thingy before, will try

[woeful pike]

what does this code have to do with anything

code has nothing to do with this. You need to make sure the connection can reach your application

[eternal osprey]

yeah i knw

[woeful pike]

express already binds to 0.0.0.0 so all you need to do is open ports and ur good

[eternal osprey]

the site i need to receive the info from is sellix. They basically prompt you an url.

[eternal osprey]

hmmm okay i will try

[round cove]

Again this

[woeful pike]

surely it accepts an IP and if not you can just use something like duckDNS

[eternal osprey]

yup on it dylan, one sec

[spark flint]

ew not duckdns

[eternal osprey]

Rule added
Rule added (v6)

[spark flint]

the amount of scams i catch on duckdns is just ridiculous

[round cove]

Now your VPS has the port open

[eternal osprey]

and now i can access it using 0.0.0.0:3000

?

[round cove]

(:

Get the ACTUAL IP of the machine and then do port 3000 sure

[eternal osprey]

wahahahah okiii

[woeful pike]

i mean as long as you're not scamming anyone lol

[spark flint]

nah i watch SSL certs

for keywords like verify, discord, dyno, captcha etc

also using jaro winkler

[eternal osprey]

omg it works!

Thanks guys

only love, spread the word ❤️

[woeful pike]

saved another innocent soul from the claws of ngrok

[round cove]

What exactly is ngrok

[woeful pike]

basically just a tunnel that exposes a port on ur computer to the world

cloudflare tunnels p much

[round cove]

If people use ubuntu they gotta learn ufw

[round cove]

Feels like this is some 20yearold program

[woeful pike]

that's exactly what it is

[woeful pike]

ok i lied it's apparently not even 10 years old

[round cove]

Still bad regardless fuck it

We HATE third party programs

for ports

okay running it back

[spark flint]

What would be the easiest way to monitor my APIs usage?

I'm looking at Grafana but IDK how to integrate that into Express.js

[solemn latch]

I used Grafana with Prometheus in express.js for awhile.

never had an issue

[eternal osprey]

I just opened the port of my vps, and it worked like a charm. I closed the vps and it also closed the port?

Well, as I assume as the endpoint isn’t working anymore. How would I be able to open the ports 24/7?

[void quartz]

How many servers does the bot need to be on to be approved?

[wheat mesa]

Approved on top.gg? There is no minimum amount. Verified on discord? I believe you can start the application process at 75 servers

[boreal iron]

You may wanna use iptables instead of the useless ufw interface or nowadays the even more powerful nftables

[sharp geyser]

Anyone know a good resource to read up on regex?

One that has made it easy for you to understand how to read/write it

[round cove]

Yeah you should play the regex crossword game

https://regexcrossword.com/

I played this for a bit, pretty good

[sharp geyser]

This makes no sense to me

That will be fun to practice regex but I think I need to learn it a bit more first

[boreal iron]

.* that’s all you ever need

[sharp geyser]

I really just wanna write a regex to check the input of a user to make sure they only use alphabetic and numeric characters

I don't want any special characters like ! or _

[boreal iron]

^[A-Za-z0-9]$

Or with flags

/^[A-Z0-9]$/i

This will not match whitespaces

As those are special chars, too

[sharp geyser]

I see thanks

Do I have to specify how long I want it to match for? so like ^[a-zA-Z\d]{3,12}$

I am unsure if I actually need to as I already limit it's length in other places so I am not entirely sure if that is needed as no matter what the input to the regex should be between 3 and 12

[boreal iron]

You don’t have to but you can

[sharp geyser]

Alright thanks

[boreal iron]

If you validate the length somewhere else already don’t repeat it in your regex

[sharp geyser]

Yea that makes sense

[boreal iron]

This will increase the match iterations dramatically

Means it takes a lot more time than actually needed

[sharp geyser]

This should match no?

It matches if it is highlighted btw

[boreal iron]

You’re missing the +

Oh nvm I’m missing it

[sharp geyser]

Ah I see

[boreal iron]

Add the + behind the ] as the pattern can be repeated

[sharp geyser]

I tried adding it behind it but it did nothing so I added it after the closing bracket and it matched fine

[boreal iron]

This would have matched only one char

[boreal iron]

Yes behind the ] (bracket) as I said

[sharp geyser]

I thought you meant behind as in +]

Also I notice ?= is used a lot in regex what exactly does this do?

[boreal iron]

No that would add + to the list of allowed chars the pattern can have

[boreal iron]

That’s like to be used to match a capture group but without actually including it to the match

Hmm well I guess my English isn’t good enough to explain that

You gotta look up a few examples

[sharp geyser]

All good thanks :)

[round cove]

You're supposed to figure out what letters or numbers that intersect

[sharp geyser]

I see

[boreal iron]

Let’s say you have /[a-z]+(?=[0-9]+)/
That would match for example:

tshjdz082
hdndkj097

Only the letters would be added to match result not the numbers but the entire will only match if letters and numbers are in your string

djhdhdhdjj // no match
0973jdjdjjd // no match

Like i said it’s actually not that easy to explain, at least for me

The result of the upper match would be

tshjdz
hdndkj

The numbers are required to match the pattern but will not be part of the match result

[lyric mountain]

Pretty late but, https://regexr.com

Has a cheatsheet, examples, explains what u wrote, has unit tests and visual output

[round cove]

I use that to test my regex

[sharp geyser]

God building regex is so annoying

[lyric mountain]

I use it to convert pdf to csv at my work lmao

[sharp geyser]

/^(?!.*(.)\1{1})(?=(.*[\d]){2,})(?=(.*[a-z]){2,})(?=(.*[A-Z]){2,})(?=(.*[@#$%!]){2,})(?:[\da-zA-Z@#$%!]){15,100}$/g this would be nice minus the consecutive char thing that is apparently added but I have no idea how to read this

[lyric mountain]

Hmmm...what are u trying to match again?

[sharp geyser]

Trying to make sure the user supplies a strong enough password

This would work perfectly but it doesn't allow consecutive characters so

I am pretty sure the first part is actually what denies consecutive characters but I am not entire sure how it works

[lyric mountain]

Idk if this would be a good application for regex

Like, you'll most likely want to tell the user what they missed no?

[sharp geyser]

What else would I use?

[lyric mountain]

Normal if checks

[sharp geyser]

Uh that sounds horrible

[round cove]

What the fuck is that regex

lmao

[lyric mountain]

It's the only way to show the user what they missed in the password

[sharp geyser]

No idea just something i found online

[round cove]

of course

[lyric mountain]

Regex will only tell u if it matches or not

[round cove]

NEVER trust sources for regex online

[sharp geyser]

[round cove]

99.999999999% of solutioons for regex online are wrong or the worst

[sharp geyser]

Dylan I have no fucking clue what I am doing regex is a new concept to me

[round cove]

I'm just letting you know.

Are you using a framework?

[sharp geyser]

As in?

[round cove]

.. a web framework.

React, Next, Angular, Svelte

[sharp geyser]

Using nestjs for the backend and will use next (or angular depends on what I am feeling) for the frontend

[round cove]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/joi-password-complexity

[sharp geyser]

That looks rather interesting

[lyric mountain]

Idk if this warrants yet another lib tho

[round cove]

If you want you could just store this then.

^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*"'()+,-./:;<=>?[\]^_`{|}~])(?=.{10,})

[lyric mountain]

Unless I'm missing something, this seems pretty easy to implement yourself

And I definitely wouldn't use regex for that

[sharp geyser]

I'd rather not use a lib myself as well

[round cove]

Then use the above.

It uses regex groups.

4 groups, left to right, lowercase, uppercase, numbers, special chars

Oh and the 5th group is saying minimum 10 length

Also also

The lib is like 1 file

I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing to handle it especially if it ever needs updating.

Then makes my code more readable.

[lyric mountain]

The "special character" part could be replaced by [^\d\w\s] no?

[round cove]

That introduces like random unicode and other options when you only want a handful, no?

[lyric mountain]

Aren't random unicode technically special characters?

[sharp geyser]

If I don't have to use regex then I won't

I also would rather writing my own code during this project rather then using too many libs that can be easily done myself

[round cove]

Ddon't trust your OS or DDB to save unicode the same or even recognize unicode across systems and front end.

[lyric mountain]

True

[round cove]

Is my D key double pressing wtf

[lyric mountain]

Distributed DataBase

[sharp geyser]

Mm

[round cove]

I feel like if someone read the repo asusming you're wanting this to be public and read by job people, then they would ask why not use a maintained lib so that you don't have to maintain it and create more things to maintain

Why didn't you just make your own web framework tooooo XdDxxDxDddDDDD

[lyric mountain]

But well, I'd just make 3 or 4 if guard clauses to check password before submitting the form

Might not be flashy or elegant, but is fast and quite readable on the long run

[sharp geyser]

Don't really care what people think anymore

[lyric mountain]

Compiler can do wonders with conditional blocks, not as much with regex

[sharp geyser]

I have gotten to the point where my code is so shit people's opinions stopped mattering to me as they just tend to try and 'fix' my code with things I don't understand so I never end up being able to continue working until I go to learn it

[sharp geyser]

Yea but how would you even use if statements here to check the things you want included in the password

[lyric mountain]

Includes

[round cove]

regex lol

[sharp geyser]

string has includes?

[round cove]

also yes

[lyric mountain]

I believe so, or contains

It's contains in java at least

[round cove]

Doing includes with a string like this would be bad though

[lyric mountain]

You can also just iterate over pass chars

[round cove]

const lowerCaseLettersRegex = /[a-z]/g;

if (password.match(lowerCaseLettersRegex)) {
  //congrats I guess
}
else {
  // yell at user
}

// Do for upper/numbers/special chars

[lyric mountain]

Lower/upper chars don't need regex

Just check if any character is within upper/lower unicode range

[round cove]

Did you mean ascii

Also that would require a loop at that point

That's such a horrible solution lol

[lyric mountain]

Nope, stream

[sharp geyser]

stream?

[round cove]

WHAT

[lyric mountain]

Idk how it's called in js

[sharp geyser]

Does js have a stream api

At this point I am just using regex

[round cove]

Kuu I have no clue wtf you're even suggesting at this point

[sharp geyser]

Cba to do otherwise

[lyric mountain]

Found it, some

[round cove]

some lol

that still interates

What if my password was $@$@#*$#@*($(@#*$(*@!*(^!%@#)^@(#%)@!*%!(%)!%(!)%@#!*aA1

[lyric mountain]

Regex does too no?

[round cove]

lol honestly i don't know

[lyric mountain]

Afaik regex is just a compiled iterator

[round cove]

But if regex already solved it and made it better than why not use it

[lyric mountain]

Like, it tells what ur looking for in a string

[round cove]

Instead of making my own jank some loop checking ascii values

Like you're not doing anything better than regex is at that point

[lyric mountain]

Regex has to be compiled beforehand

[round cove]

Okay and?

What's the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001nanoseconds of compilation going to add

to my deployment

[lyric mountain]

Well, things do sum up if u have many regexes being compiled during runtime

There's a reason regexes are used only when loops are unreasonably complicated or long

[round cove]

Using regex literals don't get compiled on runtime

Like my solution above

VS using the RegExp constructor

Where I guess you would use it if you wanted to dynamically change the regex

I think I do this for my automod bot for banned words

Which I might've changed to .includes Xd

[lyric mountain]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8814009/how-often-does-javascript-recompile-regex-literals-in-functions

Two regular expression literals in a program evaluate to regular expression objects that never compare as === to each other even if the two literals' contents are identical.
...
... each time the literal is evaluated, a new object is created as if by the expression new RegExp(Pattern, Flags) where RegExp is the standard built-in constructor with that name.

[round cove]

No JS object passes the === check since each object is unique.

Sadly 😔

Here's a more in depth 2015 answer.

I don't even know what we're arguing about anymore

I think your post proved my point

Compiled once, ignored after

literals good

[earnest phoenix]

log.temp(__dirname)
// ADD COMMAS INTO INTERIM
let comma
confSettings = ""
for (let i = 0; i < uniconf.settings.length; i++) {
  console.log(i)
  log.temp("?")
  if (uniconf.settings[i][0] != "ownerid") {
    console.log(uniconf.settings.length)
    comma = ""
    console.log(i)
    console.log(uniconf.settings[i][0] == uniconf.settings[uniconf.settings.length][0])
    if (uniconf.settings[i][0] == uniconf.settings[uniconf.settings.length][0]) {
      comma = ","
    }
    confSettings += "   \"" + uniconf.settings[i][0] + "\": \"" + req.fields[uniconf.settings[i][0]] + "\" " + comma + "\n"
  } else {
    //getOwner(req.fields.token).then(result => {
    //  confSettings += "   \"" + uniconf.settings[i][0] + "\": " + result + "\n"
    //}).catch(err => console.log(err))
  }
}```
feel free to rip my guts out and suggest improvements but i cannot for the life of me to get this code working. the for loop begins but then in what looks like the first cycle, it... stops? any code after it just does not run

[split hazel]

what is it supposed to do

[earnest phoenix]

the intent is to allow the user to save the configuration file with the settings they saved

uniconf.settings displays all the settings

(it's laid out that way so that if we want to add new settings, we can do so in a quicker manner)

[feral aspen]

Is it possible to fetch all the users who have joined a guild within a specific amount of time?

[sick agate]

How do I make bazel use my local jdk without bazel doing it's things

[near stratus]

Yes
There are two ways actually

• Fetch all guild users and sort filter them based on join time (extremely inefficient)
• You can set your own member join collector (suggested)
  Either way you probably won't be able to fetch it directly from discord's API

[feral aspen]

However, how about if it happened in the past?

[near stratus]

First method

Fetch all members

And get ratelimited

Imagine fetching all members from a giant server
Like genshin

[pine nova]

💀

[lilac vault]

fortnite!

[rustic nova]

not possible without webhooks, also #topgg-api

[boreal iron]

Well he could do an API request on the last day of the month to fetch the last 1000 voters

To grant rewards at the 1st of the new month

[fervent moss]

Then how do I get the most vote user? And also i resended that msg in #topgg-api (as told to me) can you explain there?

[boreal iron]

You can’t

That’s only possible with webhooks as Aurel said

[fervent moss]

Oh does topgg api have that feature? To get highest vote user?

[boreal iron]

You gotta listen permanently if an user votes and if so save this data in your database with the timestamp

[fervent moss]

Timestamp hmm...why tho 😬

[boreal iron]

You will receive the webhook from topgg when somebody votes and you have to store that database in your database

Then at the 1st or last of a month you process that saves data

Get the data and sort it for example by the user with the most votes

[fervent moss]

There isn't any sort available for that ig i may be wrong and idiot

[lyric mountain]

order by entry count

[fervent moss]

Only vote then yeah without timestamp right

Btw how is it even possible to store timestamp? You can store a Unix code with date.now() but timestamp

[civic scroll]

just use webhooks

and listen to them passively

timestamp is an integer

so just store something equivalent to Int64

and you're good

[fervent moss]

Kinda mongodb but would use quick db my mongo is about to get full 😬

[lyric mountain]

long

[fervent moss]

Hmm...

[civic scroll]

bruh

i thought you used sql

in that case it's not an issue then

[fervent moss]

I understood till listening webhook and then logging id but what after that?

[civic scroll]

do whatever you want

set new timestamp

[fervent moss]

Ready to use SQL but it's complicated

[civic scroll]

Int64

[lyric mountain]

sql is easier than amongodb tbh

CURRENT TIMESTAMP (context deleted)

[boreal iron]

Sry got a call

You’re done?

[fervent moss]

Hmm....ic then after storeing date what to do? Like i have no idea ~

[boreal iron]

you gotta choose datetime as field type and insert now() as value or FROM_UNIXTIME(timestamp)

[fervent moss]

[boreal iron]

Or set the default col value as current timestamp

Which is the easiest option

[lyric mountain]

he's using amongodb

not sql

[boreal iron]

amongodb WTF

Is that

[fervent moss]

No i can use 2 db in one project ig

[fervent moss]

.

[earnest phoenix]

AmongUsDB...

[lyric mountain]

considering the context, I don't think it'd be any easier to explain how to do it in a completely foreign database structure

[fervent moss]

And yeah i will have to learn about SQL first it has limits?

[lyric mountain]

depends on what u consider "limits"

[fervent moss]

Storage

[lyric mountain]

all databases have infinite storage (well, kinda)

as long as u have enough space available on your drive

[fervent moss]

On "free plan"

[lyric mountain]

there's no free plan for a self-hosted database

[boreal iron]

Limits you will never reach, no worries about that

[fervent moss]

Oh wait mb as i told never used SQL lol

I can't afford to self host a bot lol

[lyric mountain]

I imagined it'd lead to that

[fervent moss]

So can I use simple collection (d.js) store things in it make map and do things after that delete whole data on first month

[boreal iron]

You can actually the database you like, no need to just use SQL for this

[lyric mountain]

your bot wont stay online for an entire month

[fervent moss]

Why

[boreal iron]

Your bot doesn’t?

[fervent moss]

My bot is online from last 3 months and verified by discord and yeah with replit and mongodb as hosting service and data service

[lyric mountain]

I use a vps instead of a free hosting service

[boreal iron]

Yes, me too, and?

[lyric mountain]

he is

[boreal iron]

Ah

Seems like I missed that

[lyric mountain]

^

[boreal iron]

Anyways you will need a database to keep the data of the voters

You will have to deal with it

Can’t he just use sqlite on replit?

[lyric mountain]

as much as I hate it, mongo is the only one I'm aware of having free storage plan

[fervent moss]

You can!

[lyric mountain]

idk if repl allows file-based dbs

like, the code changing project files

[fervent moss]

.sqlite file exist in replit i belive

[lyric mountain]

if it does then ur fine

[fervent moss]

Is data stored in sqlite files?

And also replit has quick.db

[boreal iron]

Yes

[boreal iron]

We don’t know, you gotta figure that out

[lyric mountain]

quickdb is terrible

[fervent moss]

Yeah it's kinda same as sqlite

But replit too has limits on ram

[lyric mountain]

nono, quickdb only uses an sqlite file

the structure it saves data is entirely different

it saves everything in key-json pairs

which literally negates all the advantages of using sql

[boreal iron]

Well if SQLite works then he’s fine I guess

I mean try it, install it and you will see

[fervent moss]

What i choose isnot to do bad idea very complex

[lyric mountain]

you what?

[round cove]

Bad idea very complex

[lyric mountain]

that wont work obv

do note tho, this wont get u a correct top monthly votes

since it's limited to 1000 votes

read the link (context deleted)

[solemn latch]

so fast 👀

[pine nova]

💀

[quartz kindle]

to map or not to map, that is the question

[pale vessel]

to for loop

[fervent moss]

I am tryna make a leaderboard thing so i will map username with vote and then use it to make leaderboard amo doing something wrong tho?

[simple stump]

I'm trying to use the NodeJS OpenGL library to create an overlay for my Electron app (specifically over a full-screen game such as Minecraft which uses OpenGL to render stuff like text). How can I accomplish this? As of now, I'm using electron-overlay-window to create a basic overlay, but that doesn't appear in-game since the application is full-screen. How can I learn how to use OpenGL in Node/create an application that will overlay in Minecraft?

[boreal iron]

Missed the last hour… but if you still going to use SQL then selecting and grouping the results as well as limiting them, for example let’s say max. 15 results can be archived with a simple query to your database

[quartz kindle]

doesnt sound like hes going to use sql at all

he just wants to query the votes endpoint and organize it by user

like a leaderboard for the last 1000 only

[boreal iron]

Does the vote endpoint actually shows the last 1000 unique voters or last 1000 votes?

Which means repeats can occur?

[solemn latch]

I dont actually know 👀

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure it shows all votes, i dont see why it would show unique only, that would be a questionable design decision

[boreal iron]

Idk too and can’t test it on mobile

So it does list multiple votes for the same user multiple times or not?

[pine nova]

https://reqbin.com/

[boreal iron]

Ewww

[pine nova]

💀

[boreal iron]

When I said I can’t test it atm I expected someone of you lazy dudes would do it

[pine nova]

lmao

[quartz kindle]

id do it but i dont wanna go hunting for bots that had the same user vote today and yesterday

[boreal iron]

You and your excuses…

Im sure you’ve got no time because youre benchmarking stuff again

Wow.,. I can’t even open the docs to get the endpoint

Well fuck it…

At least the topgg website looks different everything I open the site, sometimes dark, sometimes light, saving my settings, sometimes not, and yeah not to speak about all the bugs and issues

🤦‍♂️

Somehow I thought things may get better over time

But no.

[fervent moss]

Yeah tryna do tha Mt have any idea on how to get started?

[quartz kindle]

first you need to make sure it does actually return all votes, and not unique votes

did you or someone else vote for your bot multiple times in the past few days?

[fervent moss]

Yeah return all votes like when i checked it showed same result of my like 10 times

And yeah same with other users too

[quartz kindle]

then yeah you can make a leaderboard for the last 1000 votes only

[fervent moss]

Hmm...but how do I get started?

[boreal iron]

I did but I can’t test it

I can give you my ID

[lyric mountain]

still having issues with that smh

[quartz kindle]

you need to create an object so you can organize entries by id

so either create an object, then loop over the array, or use array.reduce

the former is easier to understand

[boreal iron]

cough map cough

[fervent moss]

Umm...yeah like i have a var asinged to result called (c) so wha should I do like array.redice exists but it has many field some what like this-

[boreal iron]

Ok… so all votes not unique ones

[quartz kindle]

like i said, create an object, then loop

[fervent moss]

Create an object wdym? I can't understand something's by brain is slow 🧠

[boreal iron]

or a map

[quartz kindle]

const myObject = {}
for(const item of c) {
  if(!myObject[item.id]) {
    // do something if id does not exist in object yet, for example add it to the object
  } else {
    // do soemthing if id already exists in object, for example add a new vote to the existing object
  }
}

[fervent moss]

How would that be particularly be usefull as it is guaranteed to have user name in it ;-;

[quartz kindle]

how would that be useful? thats basically the correct solution to exactly what you want to do

[boreal iron]

You gonna save the user id in your object and the actual vote count?!

[fervent moss]

What about collection i have worked with collection before

[boreal iron]

Or exclude them for privacy reasons if you want to

[quartz kindle]

sure, you can use a collection or a map too

[boreal iron]

How you save it is up to you

[quartz kindle]

const myObject = new Collection()
for(const item of c) {
  if(!myObject.has(item.id)) {
    // do something if id does not exist in object yet, for example add it to the object
  } else {
    // do soemthing if id already exists in object, for example add a new vote to the existing object
  }
}

[fervent moss]

Umm...i don't understand my brain really slow sry but the truth lol

[boreal iron]

But you need to loop your results and to add the user ID or name as key to your map/collecting and count the actual votes as value

[fervent moss]

So what about using object 😅

[quartz kindle]

sigh...

[boreal iron]

It’s basically all the same in JS

Arbghhhhhh don’t punish me!!!!!!1!!‘

[fervent moss]

Here what's what's meant by item.id?

[quartz kindle]

you want to count the number of times a user has voted, correct?

[fervent moss]

Yeah

[boreal iron]

Spoonfeed or I will do it

[fervent moss]

[quartz kindle]

so lets say you have a list like this (simplified): [{id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 1}] which would be an example to 3 votes, 2 of them by the same user

to be able to count the number of times the same user voted, you need to organize the list by something they have in common, which means in this case its their id. all the items in the list with the same id should be grouped together

in order to do this, you need to create an object, or a Map, something that works with keys

const obj = {}
``` for example

now you loop through your list: ```js
for(const item of c) {
// here, the variable "item" represents one item from the list, for example "{id: 1}"
}

[fervent moss]

But this includes other things too so i need to like first filter array?

[quartz kindle]

that doesnt matter

then you take this item

and you check if you have seen this item before

if(!obj[item.id])

item.id is the id of the current item, if the current item is {id: 1} then item.id is 1

obj is the object you created

[fervent moss]

So like i need to add up 1 in an another var for if id exists?

[quartz kindle]

yes

if(!obj[item.id]) {
  // do something
}
``` this means if this item id does not exists in the object, do something

so what you want to to, is if it doesnt exist, add it

if(!obj[item.id]) {
  obj[item.id] = 1;
}
``` for example, set this id to 1

so your object now looks like this obj = { 1: 1 }

[fervent moss]

If it doesn't exist

But what if it exists?

[quartz kindle]

if it already exists

[lyric mountain]

obj[item.id] ??= 1

[quartz kindle]

then you add 1 to it, so it becomes 2

[boreal iron]

wtf is ??=

[quartz kindle]

if(!obj[item.id]) {
  obj[item.id] = 1;
} else {
  obj[item.id]++
}
``` for example

[boreal iron]

Never saw that operator

[fervent moss]

Like 1+1 won't work

[lyric mountain]

discovered it thanks to xexe

[quartz kindle]

which is the same as obj[item.id] = obj[item.id] + 1

[lyric mountain]

null-coalescing assignment operator

or put if not exists

[fervent moss]

Oh nice and by !id it is meant that I'd doesn't exist and make one?

[boreal iron]

Hmm didn’t know that exists

Good to know

[fervent moss]

And if exist then add 1 to existing integer

[lyric mountain]

neither did I, xexe appeared out of nowhere last time and showed it

[fervent moss]

Whose xexe

[lyric mountain]

xetera

[boreal iron]

Hmm you’re never to old to learn new tricks

[fervent moss]

What is Tim typing for so long

[boreal iron]

[quartz kindle]

so after item {id: 1} your object becomes {1:1}, then after item {id: 2}, your object becomes {1:1, 2:1}, then after item {id:1} again, your object becomes {1:2, 2:1}. lets change the example id to become less confusing:
so after item {id: "a"} your object becomes {"a":1}, then after item {id: "b"}, your object becomes {"a":1, "b":1}, then after item {id:"a"} again, your object becomes {"a":2, "b":1}, and here is your result: the id "a" exists 2 times in the list, meaning it was voted two times, and id "b" exists 1 time in the list, meaning it was voted 1 time

[fervent moss]

Umm...yeah now i understand and how would I retrive that data for all users like i have to provide user id and get results?

[boreal iron]

Tim trying so hard instead of spoonfeeding

[lyric mountain]

to retrieve that data for all users you'd explode the ratelimit

[boreal iron]

He’s so cute

[quartz kindle]

to get the number of votes for a specific id, yes, you need to have the user id you want. but you can get the list of all unique user ids using Object.keys(obj)

[quartz kindle]

f u

[boreal iron]

[fervent moss]

Oh ic

[fervent moss]

Kinda true

Okay so now i need to try this stuffs

[fervent moss]

const myObject = {}
for(const item of c) {
  if(!myObject[item.id]) {
    myObject[item.id]  = 1;
  } else {
    myObject[item.id] = myObject +=  1
  }
} 
let something = myObject.keys(myObejct)
console.log(something)

So this is kinda correct?

Or i didn't understand

And did sit

Shit

[lyric mountain]

second and third option

[boreal iron]

Replace ??= with = 1

obj = obj + 1 by obj += 1

[lyric mountain]

obj should be myObject

[fervent moss]

Yeah i get that

[fervent moss]

Okay updated code and now gonna use this so it this correct?

[lyric mountain]

I believe so

[boreal iron]

No

obj = obj + 1 by obj += 1

[lyric mountain]

ah, missed that

btw myObject[item.id] = myObject[item.id] = 1 can become myObject[item.id]++ no?

[boreal iron]

you still have obj = obj += 1

[boreal iron]

The key doesn’t exist yet

[lyric mountain]

it does

[boreal iron]

Make it = 1

Oh I thought you meant the first case

[fervent moss]

Wait what

[boreal iron]

Yeah since it’s defined as integer ++ also works

I wonder if there’s actually a difference

[fervent moss]

What you told

[boreal iron]

But I would always prefer += 1 in cases it’s not an integer

[boreal iron]

Look closely

myobject = myobject += 1

Is what you got atm

Which doesn’t make any sense

[fervent moss]

In case 1 right?

[fervent moss]

I forgot myObejct oh

[boreal iron]

You did, yes

[near stratus]

Typescript Moment

[lyric mountain]

totally helpful tooltip

[fervent moss]

Okay so now done and wha did kuuhaku meant?

[boreal iron]

Imagine using the useless djs builders

[lyric mountain]

variable++ is the same as variable += 1 and variable = variable + 1

that's why I suggested it

[boreal iron]

He was talking about the same I was, we just confused each other because he’s a Brazilian and those guys are weird

[fervent moss]

Umm...doesn't make any different code working remains same? So no need lmao

[boreal iron]

[boreal iron]

At least you need to correct your stuff as I mentioned

[fervent moss]

I corrected

[boreal iron]

obj = obj += 1 is nonsense

[fervent moss]

Then wdym me to change that with?

[pine nova]

[boreal iron]

obj += 1 or obj++

As we mentioned

[fervent moss]

obj or myObject? Ig myObject makes a sense with common snese

[boreal iron]

Im just too lazy to use your weird var names

[fervent moss]

Lol

Done did you meant this?

[boreal iron]

Yes

[fervent moss]

Umm...yeah then ready to go 👍

Bruh ik i did something more stupidest

[boreal iron]

Why tf is it still like this

I thought you changed it

[fervent moss]

Dint you mean this then why you meant?

[quartz kindle]

whats your current code?

[boreal iron]

The first, second and now third time: Yes

That’s what you have to change

[fervent moss]

What this than?

[boreal iron]

myObject[item.id] += 1;

[fervent moss]

const myObject = {}
for(const item of c) {
  if(!myObject[item.id]) {
    myObject[item.id]  = 1;
  } else {
    myObject[item.id] = +=  1
  }
} 
let something = myObject.keys(myObejct)
console.log(something) 

[quartz kindle]

just do ```js
} else {
myObject[item.id]++
}

[fervent moss]

Umm..

[boreal iron]

Or this… @.@

[quartz kindle]

myObject[item.id]++ is the same as myObject[item.id] += 1 which is the same as myObject[item.id] = myObject[item.id] + 1

you can use any of them

[boreal iron]

As we have already explained

[near stratus]

At this rate it'd be easier to write the code for him

[quartz kindle]

yeah but we dont do that here

[boreal iron]

You did that already

So shut up

[quartz kindle]

fish for someone once, and they will beg you for fish for the rest of their life

[boreal iron]

[fervent moss]

Best moment

[boreal iron]

Tim please continue to write my code, I’ve got no time atm

PLEASE TIM

[near stratus]

Obejct

[fervent moss]

Oh shit

[quartz kindle]

very nice obejct

gonna rename all my obejcts now

[boreal iron]

At least console.log is correct

[split hazel]

if you get the joke you get the joke

int getRandomInt() {
  int* d = malloc(4);
  int result = *d;
  free(d);
  return result;
}

[boreal iron]

[quartz kindle]

random int from existing memory garbage

nice meme

[lyric mountain]

aka "Scavenger's RNG"

[split hazel]

no memory leaks

the perfect c code

[boreal iron]

Just free the entire RAM and that’s it

All problems solved

[split hazel]

but rust users wouldnt like the code because they consider an uninitialized value undefined behaviour

[fervent moss]

Now it shows myObject.keys isn't function should i change it to .key ?

[split hazel]

by the way i only found out yesterday you cant modify a single character in a js string

if you do str[index] = some_char it just ignores it

it doesnt even error

[pine nova]

💀

[split hazel]

i was very disappointed when i found that out

[lyric mountain]

well yeah string are immutable, you never modify it at all

[quartz kindle]

Object.keys() is a global function

Object.keys(myObject)

[split hazel]

why D:

stupid voltrex and his crew

quitting javascript now

[lyric mountain]

optimization reasons iirc

strings are a pain to deal with at low level

[split hazel]

only optimization problem i can think of is maybe a hash recompute since i assume js uses that to compare strings quickly

[near stratus]

Well at least js don't hand the string over like rust

[split hazel]

who was the guy that stole a string in rust again

[near stratus]

Instead of copying

[lyric mountain]

https://www.javatpoint.com/why-string-is-immutable-or-final-in-java#:~:text=The String is immutable in,it makes the String immutable.

for java but I believe it's the same for js and python

[split hazel]

i dont think any of those are really a problem for js

idk about thread safety but js somehow takes care of that anyways

[lyric mountain]

https://www.sitepoint.com/immutability-javascript/#:~:text=In fact%2C no string methods,Numbers are immutable too.

www.<language>point.com as it seems lmao

[split hazel]

ima just ask volt

@earnest phoenix pls

no someone here stole a string in rust

they stole it

[boreal iron]

Eww such an ugly syntax

My eyes …

[earnest phoenix]

Hm?

[split hazel]

why are strings immutable

like doing str[index] = value is ignored

doesnt even error

cant lie the fact no exception was thrown threw me off and i never knew strings were immutable

i kinda expected it to work

[fervent moss]

@quartz kindle @lyric mountain (sry to ping) it returns all IDs (unique) but not votes amount :(

[boreal iron]

Because you logged the object keys only

[fervent moss]

Oh so values?

[boreal iron]

Log the entire object and see the magic

[fervent moss]

Umm...

[near stratus]

console.log(myObject)

[earnest phoenix]

Strings are usually immutable by nature, strings aren't meant to be mutated through accessing their indexes, naturally standards recommend to mutate them by the provided methods, so it doesn't cause unexpected behaviors (some people reported it, but I don't exactly remember what it was, rather an edge case), and JavaScript usually doesn't throw errors for such things, for example mutating an immutable or frozen object

Although it should throw an error on strict mode

[fervent moss]

Ik that much lmao

[split hazel]

yeah it does

but like nnnnn

i see people splitting a string then joining it again just to change a character

[fervent moss]

Can your sort myObject with increasing to decreasing amount of vote i belive i have to use sort or filter

[split hazel]

and i go 💀

[cinder patio]

string copying is cheap

[split hazel]

for the most part cpus are optimized in that aspect

still tho

cant think of a way to do it in js otherwise without a messy solution

regex maybe idk

[cinder patio]

removing a single character without copying a single byte?

[split hazel]

if js wont let me i will write a native node addon which supports modifying strings by index :troll:

[split hazel]

replacing it

[cinder patio]

store the string as an array of characters

[split hazel]

you can do it by copying and replacing the character when you encounter that index but its still a performance penalty

mainly because of the +=

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure the overhead from that will vastly outweight slicing and merging string pieces

[split hazel]

yeah it will

[cinder patio]

well that still copies bytes so

[lyric mountain]

convert string to char array > change desired char > rebuild string from array

[cinder patio]

still copies bytes assuming V8 doesn't optimize it

[split hazel]

you get the penalty of making a new array and then constructing it again 💀

but its probably the fastest out of all of them

[quartz kindle]

objects cannot be sorted, in order to sort the results, you need to convert it back to an array, one of the ways to do that is to use Object.entries(myObject) which then you can use .sort() on

[boreal iron]

Im sleeping now but Kuhueakababkulalala will assist you

[lyric mountain]

park the car first

[quartz kindle]

shush Kuhueakababkulalala

[boreal iron]

Shhhh

I can’t spell this name

[split hazel]

will fork the v8 engine just to make strings mutable 💀

you think i wont do it

[quartz kindle]

you're willing to destroy v8 just for that

damn speedy is woke

[split hazel]

based

dont let others stop you

[cinder patio]

You could store the string in a buffer

[boreal iron]

You gotta destroy the entirety to create something new

[cinder patio]

but turning it into actual string probably copies it

[boreal iron]

That’s how the world works

[split hazel]

was thinking that too but i dont know the overheads of .tostring or Buffer.from if you're converting it from a string

and would be a better word to use

[quartz kindle]

whatever you do, its always going to be orders of magnitude slower than just merging strings

[fervent moss]

.entries will make it array but retuning all the values like id and votes?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[fervent moss]

Hmm thanks :)

[split hazel]

idea for js: make it use the stack :troll:

dont ask me how just do it

[quartz kindle]

just make js++

low level compiled js

[split hazel]

nah that needs to be a thing

like cpython

what if

hear me out

i port nodejs to my os

without network or disk bc i dont support that yet

[fervent moss]

Is this correct way to sort doesn't work for me tho -

let noice = Object.entries(myObject)
let hi = noice.sort((a, b) => b-a);
  console.log(hi) 

[earnest phoenix]

guys

client.user.avatarURL() work in v12

but v13 not

can i have the v13 change ?

[lyric mountain]

did you check the docs?

[earnest phoenix]

i only need the code

[lyric mountain]

no you need the docs

[fervent moss]

Kuuhaku any idea?

[earnest phoenix]

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v13.html#clientuser

[lyric mountain]

what does it output?

[fervent moss]

Same thing as for var noice

[earnest phoenix]

so ?

i need to add

({dynamic: true })

[fervent moss]

First is noice and second is for hi

[earnest phoenix]

or

client.user.displayAvatarURL

[quartz kindle]

Object.entries() returns the object in this format: [[id, value], [id, value], [id, value]]
inside the .sort() function, the a and b parameters represent those values, so you cannot do b - a because that means doing [id, value] - [id, value]

so you need to decide what you want to sort it by, if you want to sort it by value, then you need to sort b[1] - a[1]

[fervent moss]

Like values are amount of votes so yeah

[quartz kindle]

since a and b are [id, value], a[0] would be id, and a[1] would be value

[fervent moss]

Umm...ic

[ancient nova]

    if (member.user.id === message.guild.ownerID) acknowledgments.push("Server Owner");

any one know why this doesn't work?

[lyric mountain]

context?

[ancient nova]

trying to do a whois command, and one of the acknowledgments can be that the user is the owner of the server

but when I try using it on the owner it doesn't seem to work member is the mentioned use

rr

[lyric mountain]

does user.id return a long or a string?

[ancient nova]

not sure let me look at the docs

should I convert both of them to strings?

[lyric mountain]

like, long usually has some issues on js because it gets truncated unless you explicitly use long/bigint

idk if that applies here

[earnest phoenix]

The ownerID property was renamed to ownerId
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Guild?scrollTo=ownerId

[ancient nova]

makes sense

[rocky dagger]

so im trying to make a command with autocomplete but it works very inconsistently, can someone tell me why? name is an array of every option thats available js const focusedValue = interaction.options.getFocused(); const filtered = name.filter(choice => choice.startsWith(focusedValue)).slice(0, 25); const response = await interaction.respond( filtered.map(choice => ({ name: choice, value: choice })), );

[ancient nova]

        await message.channel.bulkDelete(messagesToDelete).then(messages => {
            message.channel.send(`Successfully purged ${messages.size} out of ${args[0]} messages from the chat.`);
        });
``` can anyone tell me how why doing `args[0] + 1` creates numer1 instead number + 1 like wtf?

[earnest phoenix]

interaction.reply({buttons: [button,button0,button1,button2], embeds: [embed]})

this a code right but when i execute the command it didn't show any button

[ancient nova]

I'm trying to have the selected number of messages + 1 since I need it to delete the command itself first, before deleting so it actually gets the right amount

[lyric mountain]

make sure to limit maximum user-defined value to 99

[earnest phoenix]

me ?

[lyric mountain]

is your issue about bulk-deleting messages?

[ancient nova]

I am, I think

    if (args[0] > 100 || args[0] < 1) return message.channel.send('You can only purge between 1 to 100 messages at once.');
``` yea

but that doesn't really solve the issue

[lyric mountain]

args[0] >= 100

[earnest phoenix]

Because args[0] is a string, not a number

The args array contains only strings in your case, so you would have to cast it to a number to do that

[ancient nova]

ah I thought it automatically returned whatever the arg value was

[earnest phoenix]

There's no such option as buttons, those are supposed to go in the components option, but you would have to add those buttons to an action row first

[ancient nova]

which func should I use to cast the string to a number?

[earnest phoenix]

You can either use the global parseInt() function or the global Number constructor (can be called as a function)

[earnest phoenix]

oh ok

[ancient nova]

parseInt it is

[lyric mountain]

make sure to check if it's a number to begin with

[ancient nova]

I am

[earnest phoenix]

Both of those functions return NaN if it's not a number, so you can check with that

Using the global isNaN() function of course

[lyric mountain]

remember banana

[ancient nova]

😭 NOOOO

    // Lets define our number of messages to purge.
    let messagesToDelete = parseInt(args[0]);
    if (!messagesToDelete) return message.channel.send("You have to give me a number of messages to purge.")
    
    // Lets now check our number for validity.
    if (messagesToDelete >= 100 || messagesToDelete <= 1) return message.channel.send("You can only purge between 1 to 100 messages at once.");
    if (isNaN(messagesToDelete)) return message.channel.send("Couldn't purge because the value provided isn't a number.");

    try {
        // We are adding and removing 1 to both include and exclude the number.
        await message.channel.bulkDelete(messagesToDelete + 1).then(messages => {
            message.channel.send(`Successfully purged ${messages.size - 1} out of ${args[0]} messages from the chat.`);
        });
    } catch {
        return message.channel.send(`Couldn't purge because the messages are more than 14 days old.`);
    }

I'm gonna have to move the isNaN statement above and now the syntax will look bad

[earnest phoenix]

I don't see how it would look bad in any way

[quartz kindle]

you dont need isNaN at all

[ancient nova]

how come?

[lyric mountain]

it'll enter the first if check

[quartz kindle]

if messageToDelete is NaN, it will fail the if(!messagesToDelete)

[ancient nova]

huh

[lyric mountain]

NaN is falsy

[ancient nova]

oh

I think I get it

[quartz kindle]

inconsistent how?

[ancient nova]

cause it it doesn't parse into an int because it isn't a number it would return as not defined

right?

[earnest phoenix]

What?

[quartz kindle]

parseInt either returns a number, or returns NaN

and NaNs work as false for if()s

[earnest phoenix]

bro

  const row = new MessageActionRow()
            .addComponents(
                new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('1')
                    .setLabel('😂')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
            );
      const row2 = new MessageActionRow()
            .addComponents(
                new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('2')
                    .setLabel('😀')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
            );
      const row3 = new MessageActionRow()
            .addComponents(
                new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('3')
                    .setLabel('⚒️')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
            );
    const row4 = new MessageActionRow()
            .addComponents(
                new MessageButton()
                    .setLabel('Invite me !')
         .setStyle('URL')
         .setURL("https://dsc.gg/zylem")
            );```

is this correct one ?

[rocky dagger]

i can for example search Tek then a bunch of things starting on Tek is showing up but then when i further try to refine it to for example Tek rifle (i can see it as an option) then nothing shows up

[ancient nova]

great

[earnest phoenix]

You don't have to create a new action row for every button, every action row can contain 5 components

[quartz kindle]

console.log the value and compare it to the names in your array, and see if there is any subtle difference

[earnest phoenix]

oh ok

[quartz kindle]

something that could cause the startsWith to fail

[quartz kindle]

each row is a new line, you use more rows if you want to create buttons in new lines instead of in the same line

[earnest phoenix]

like this

            .addComponents(
                new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('1')
                    .setLabel('😂')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
        new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('2')
                    .setLabel('😀')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
        new MessageButton()
                    .setCustomId('3')
                    .setLabel('⚒️')
                    .setStyle('BLURPLE'),
        new MessageButton()
                    .setLabel('Invite me !')
         .setStyle('URL')
         .setURL("https://dsc.gg/zylem")
            );```

That would work yes

[earnest phoenix]

nope
