[carmine summit]

the first log is clearly not in order when expanded

[bright hornet]

nahh

[sharp geyser]

Are you only using mentions?

Wait better question are you using slash commands rn

[carmine summit]

oh wait shit im dumb, chrome updates the arrays...

[sharp geyser]

I am still confused if you are cause this can be done way easier

[bright hornet]

nop

[sharp geyser]

then wtf is i

[bright hornet]

mixed, pinged and not pinged on collection

[bright hornet]

collection

[sharp geyser]

What

[bright hornet]

brutal code

[lament rock]

getting an ID from message content if it has a mention
/<!?@(\d+)>/

[bright hornet]

collector

[sharp geyser]

I see

[lament rock]

You're using a message collector?

[bright hornet]

I'am making a code without message.mentions

bruhahaha

[bright hornet]

yep

[sharp geyser]

if you are using a message collector how the fuck are you doing i.user.id

[lament rock]

The result of the Promise of a Message Collector.next is a Message

[bright hornet]

tried and error

[sharp geyser]

bought to say

message doesn't have a user prop

its author

[bright hornet]

i forgot that i is for user only

i mean author

[sharp geyser]

this is why people should not use single named variables

😔

[lament rock]

_

All of my variables are _ :)

[sharp geyser]

I hate you

[lament rock]

Love you too

[sharp geyser]

<3

I am wondering if I should rewrite my lib again

[bright hornet]

its better

[sharp geyser]

no its not

it makes it a nightmare for people to debug your code when they have no idea what i is cause it is not descriptive at all

[lament rock]

Just use the raw API like I keep telling people. I haven't thought about updating my bot or anything related in a long time because I don't have to

[bright hornet]

good point

[sharp geyser]

I do use the raw api a lot

Actually ima make a framework for djs maybe

[lament rock]

no stupid abstraction layers with a huge import memory footprint or circular dependencies or volatile arbitrarily assigned naming schemes

[sharp geyser]

if i make a lib it is going to be pretty baremetal

just some helper methods and thats it

sharding is something you'd do on your own cause fuck setting up that

[lament rock]

Good

I fucking hate managed libs because of assumptions they make or their aggressive caching policies

I don't need that

[sharp geyser]

caching is also a thing I'd leave up to the user

[lament rock]

Thank god they're now serializing the client's permissions for the channel an interaction was instigated in

[bright hornet]

since bot not going to response

ill just create a message if bot got mentioned

lmao

[lament rock]

[bright hornet]

yeap

[lament rock]

Unpopular opinion, but people should stop making bots unless they're smart enough to make something objectively better

[bright hornet]

nah want to give myself a large stress

[lament rock]

You’ll wish you stopped sooner down the line

[bright hornet]

discord.js is my practice area only anyway

soo dont mind me

[lament rock]

You'll always stress about memory management or server costs or active users or cluster sizes and maximizing hardware efficiency and networking and all of this other shit you do not want to try to solve, because there's no real good answer other than to just stop entirely

[bright hornet]

💀

[lament rock]

if it's a source of income, then great. You're a lucky % and you can continue, but it is not worth time and money stressing about a hobby project which is supposed to be fun

[bright hornet]

i have full time job, told u its only my playground

[lament rock]

Thanks for coming to my ted talk. It is early as fuck o'clock and I have work tomorrow

[sharp geyser]

how do env files work again?

Do they set the values in them to the environment automatically or do you have to read from the file

[pale vessel]

On node they just set the key and value in process.env, it doesn't actually modify the system environment variables

[pale vessel]

I don't get what you mean by "automatically", where would it be pulling the keys and values if not from a file?

It parses the file thou

[bright hornet]

laravel set the values on .env automatically

i think that was misty want to ask

[pale vessel]

I didn't know he used php

[sharp geyser]

I don't use php

I'd never stoop that low

[pine nova]

🤝

[dry imp]

only fake stoop that low

[bright hornet]

Just found out with diff user and client user in collector

f

probably i.author.bot i can use to detect if bot got pinged

[sharp geyser]

I am confused on what you are wanting to do anymore

[spark flint]

Lol

[sharp geyser]

import {readFileSync} from 'fs'
import {sep} from 'path';
import {getProperty} from "dot-prop";

export class Localization {
    private localesFolder: string;

    constructor(localesFolder: string) {
        this.localesFolder = localesFolder
    }

    get<T>(locale: string, prop: string, defaultValue?: T): T {
        const contents = this._getFileContents(locale)
        const property = getProperty(contents, prop, defaultValue)

        return property!;
    }

    private _getFileContents(file: string): any {
        const content = readFileSync(`${this.localesFolder}${sep}${file}.json`)

        return JSON.parse(content.toString());
    }

}

How could I make this better

Should I allow them to set a default locale they wanna get from if one isn't specified ?

[bright hornet]

cause its to long if i explain what i literally doing

[sharp geyser]

How do you expect us to help if we have 0 clue of your end goal or what you wanna accomplish

[bright hornet]

but short story, i wanted to return the collection or stop if i.author.bot === true inside the collector.on

[sharp geyser]

Alright then you should be good

idk why earlier you were trying to compare ids

[bright hornet]

after i saw the bot == true i was like f myself, why do i keep comparing ids

anyway it still not returning tho lmao

[sharp geyser]

you don't need to do that

just if(i.author.bot)

no need to compare

[bright hornet]

yep tried

still ignoring the condition

[sharp geyser]

🤔

how though

only way it'd ignore the condition is if it isn't a bot's message being collected

[bright hornet]

Cause It'll only collecting the data after the person answer

probably after the first collector done, i.author.bot is useless

because second collector will came up

[sharp geyser]

🤔

the more you try and explain the more it becomes unclear

but if it works it works

[raw nest]

How can I generate a random base64 string with custom character length, like YT's unique url id?

in JS

[sharp geyser]

do you want it to be unique?

[raw nest]

yeah but I can check that in my DB. First how do I even generate them?

There's like nanoid npm package and I can make a custom alphabet with the 64 chars then it generates me a string I can check if it already exists. But is that the way to go?

[sharp geyser]

Well I don't think you can actually set the length of a base64 string I might be wrong but I have never seen/heard of a way

[raw nest]

Hm, I try some things out

thanks

[bright hornet]

code first a generator for random strings => base64

economy.findOneAndUpdate({
    memberID: i.author.id,
    spouseStatus: true,
    spouse: s.author.username
})

economy.findOneAndUpdate({
    memberID: s.author.id,
    spouseStatus: true,
    spouse: i.author.username
})``` overwrites my data, but in my casino it doesnt, what an actual f

[raw nest]

If I create statistics for the apikey if someone makes an api request with an api key, how should I make the stats?

1:
Create an entry for each api key with columns like requests etc. and just increment this value everytime

2:
Create a new db record every request and put stuff like timetamp, requestRoute etc. in it?

Which option is better?

[woeful pike]

usually sites will do a combination of both. You might have detailed stats on how users do requests in the past month or something with #2 and then aggregate any data older than a month into less-specific stats like #1

[raw nest]

oh that's actually a smart way.. So like specific data for the last month with all things like requestRoute, timestamp, country etc. and after a month this data gets deleted and the request count for this api keys incremented normally?
The thing is what if someone would like data from the last year? In this case if I want to provide this I need to store every data for a year right?
If you have an app that makes e.g. 1000 requests a day this one app alone is 365k db records in a year.. If the app grows wouldn't this be way to many records? I don't know I think 1m records isn't that much in production for some companies...

[woeful pike]

that's what's tricky about storing timeseries data. You need to think about the granularity of the data you need

a question you have to ask yourself is why would someone need data from last year, and what data could they need?

because you can keep data from last year without storing every single request

[raw nest]

maybe like a yearly report. How did we grow and what was popular etc.

[woeful pike]

do you need to store every individual request to answer this question?

[raw nest]

I don't know..

It's like I want to be able to provide as much data/statistics as possible but don't have too many db records.
How am I able to store statistics (you can sort after time) for stuff like country, apiRoute, request method etc. without creating a record for every request? Creating a record for every country and just incrementing this value is stupid and I can't sort it after time..

[sick agate]

yup

filtering them should do the trick

[raw nest]

filter what?

[woeful pike]

creating a record for every request isn't necessarily a bad thing

you can use #2 now and figure out how you want to do data retention when it starts to become a problem

[sick agate]

yup

[raw nest]

not really but I don't know if this decreases the performance if I have alot of records. I don't know much about this because I don't have any apps that have a couple 100k records xDD

[woeful pike]

you'll be fine with the right indexes

[raw nest]

I could technically make a "month record" after the data gets older than a month. Like combine all the record in this month and create a graph with it and just store this graph. And with the other stats the same

[woeful pike]

if space isn't a problem now you don't have to think about it now

[raw nest]

Yeah true, but if I build it stupid now I will have bigger problems in the future as the codebase expands not? xD

[woeful pike]

you will have the raw data available, all you'll have to do is figure out how you want to downsample it

[raw nest]

yeah I guess I need to find it out on the way of development :) thanks

[woeful pike]

there's no one size fits all solution for these. For some you can just drop data after a certain date and it doesn't even matter

[raw nest]

yep

[ancient nova]

hey so I'm about to write a double if statement checking if the either the user is pinged or he messages himself

//afkCache would be a collection
//member would be the person pinged, if anyone does
if (settings.afkNotifSystemOn === true && (client.afkCache.get(message.author.id) || client.afkCache.get(member.id)) {
    // do stuff
}

so what I'm asking is, whether there is any way to save on performance (for eg. not cache client.afkCache or member or at least don't cache them until settings.afkNotifSystemOn without having to hoist if statements?

[earnest phoenix]

1. If the settings.afkNotifSystemOn property is always a boolean, there's no point in comparing it such as settings.askNotifSystemOn === true, settings.askNotifSystemOn would be enough
2. It would be better to check for the first condition first on a separate if statement, and then get the member or others
3. Use the has() method instead of get() since you're just checking it's boolean value

[ancient nova]

so 1. wouldn't help since I gotta prepare if the users select it to anything other than true or false since sadly I haven't added a detection system or anything like that yet
2. I was thinking of doing it like this, but isn't hosting if statements worse?
and for 3. I forgot that was a thing so ty 🙂

also using a triple = there because I'm comparing strings as well

settings.afkNotifSystemOn can also be a string depending on what you do

[boreal iron]

Oof

[earnest phoenix]

Then yeah as I said, only if it's always a boolean

[ancient nova]

I know it's bad but it works

[earnest phoenix]

For the second one, no it's not worse

[ancient nova]

really? I always thought hosting statements no matter the reason hinders performance

[boreal iron]

Nesting not hosting

[ancient nova]

I did watch a video about hoisting once though.. it didn't really stuck to me

[ancient nova]

hoisting*

it's the same as nesting

[earnest phoenix]

It's all optimized at the end anyway, so it's better to check for the first condition, then get needed objects and then checking for the second conditions, or others

[earnest phoenix]

Hoisting and nesting are entirely different from each other

[ancient nova]

what's the difference?

[ancient nova]

it does make sense
I would check the first condition

if (true)
 // cache elements
 // do stuff after the &&

do I make the second if statement have both of those conditions in it?

[earnest phoenix]

If you have a look at the definitions of both, you'll notice; hoisting means moving something to the top-level or higher in any case, nesting means moving something inside something else, and goes on and on

[ancient nova]

oh I see, I guess I never really noticed the difference here

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, you just check for the first condition and then short-circuit if it's not true, preventing the code from reaching the part where it gets the objects needed for the later part

[ancient nova]

okay that's fine. Am I okay with putting it in the messageCreate event?

trying to optimize it as much as I can since it's already clustered enough

it's got logic from all over the place

[earnest phoenix]

You can put it anywhere you want as long as it makes sense and you've got the things you need to work with

[ancient nova]

around 24KB - the filesize

[ancient nova]

great

while I'm already asking a lot of questions, may I ask how buttons work in detail?
while trying to do
<interaction>.update more than one times, or doing anything more than one time, even when trying to respond an ephermal message to an user about a wrong choice in the game, the collector always breaks

I can only do i.update ONE single time

and every person says that buttons are soo good and way better than reactions

or am I understanding it wrong?

[earnest phoenix]

the collector always breaks
Breaks in what way?

[ancient nova]

"interaction failed" when pressing any buttons

for example if I'd send that ephermal message before doing i.update, i.update would never show up

[earnest phoenix]

"Interaction failed" or "Interaction application did not respond"?

[ancient nova]

literally "this interaction failed."

[dense ruin]

idk where to ask this but how/where/can i let my bot detect when a user votes for a server

[ancient nova]

I think top.gg has an API endpoint for that

[earnest phoenix]

It shouldn't happen just because of updating the interaction response, you're doing something that causes it

[ancient nova]

I assure you there is nothing I'm doing wrong

[earnest phoenix]

You can ask about that in #topgg-api

[ancient nova]

        //Lets now write functionality for our collectors
        collector.on("collect", async i => { 
            // And now lets write a cool if statement to detect who pressed which button.
            if (i.user.id === message.author.id) {
                //await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });
                authorChoice = i.customId;
            }
            
            if (i.user.id === user.user.id) {
                //await i.reply({ content: `${i.user.tag} your choice have been acknowledged.`, ephemeral: true });
                enemyChoice = i.customId;
            }
            
            // And now let's check who wins and who loses
            if (enemyChoice != null && authorChoice != null) {
                await i.update({ 
                    content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice}\n\nWho won? ${whoWon(authorChoice, enemyChoice, message.author.tag, user.user.tag)}`, 
                    components: []
                });
            }
        });

that's the entire collector

what could I possibly be doing wrong?

[dense ruin]

ty

[dense ruin]

ty

[earnest phoenix]

I'm pretty sure the response you're getting isn't "Interaction failed", that only occurs if Discord wasn't able to trigger your interaction, "Interaction application did not respond" occurs if your bot did not respond to the interaction in 3 seconds, or 15 minutes after the response was deferred

[ancient nova]

and while were on the topic

        collector.on("end", async i => {
            if (enemyChoice === null || authorChoice === null) {
                await i.update({ 
                    content: `${message.author.tag} picked ${authorChoice || "Nothing :C"}\n${user.user.tag} picked ${enemyChoice || "Nothing :C"}\n\nWho won? Time sadly run out.`, 
                    components: []
                });
            }
        });
``` this never shows up, regardless of me doing i.update before or not

[ancient nova]

it is, you can try it yourself if you want

I can invite you to a testing server

[earnest phoenix]

Try logging both of enemyChoice and authorChoice

Both in the collect and end events of the collectors

[ancient nova]

just checked the logs

ERROR Unhandled rejection: TypeError: i.update is not a function

what 😭

[pine nova]

[ancient nova]

actually it does make sense

the collector ends

so the interaction ends with it

gonna edit the original message instead, I hope it works this time

[earnest phoenix]

If that occurs on the end event, that's because the end event returns the collected interactions/components, not the original interaction

[ancient nova]

makes sense

and about the interaction failed thing, do you want to check it out for yourself?

[earnest phoenix]

Nah, again try logging those variables and see what they log

[ancient nova]

nah the end works, I made a mistake and doing m.edit instead of i.update solved it

[earnest phoenix]

I'm not talking about the end event

[ancient nova]

why would I need to log the variables I set because of the interaction failed error?

[earnest phoenix]

Log the enemyChoice and authorChoice variables in the collect event

[ancient nova]

they're null at the very beginning and they get updated if the user presses a button

[earnest phoenix]

They might be the cause of the error because of incorrect values

Just log them God damn, this is why you always fail to debug stuff

[ancient nova]

okay.. give me a second

[civic scroll]

@woeful pike

the log didn't fire

[woeful pike]

what's windowRef

[civic scroll]

has resiziable and ref attached

windowRef.current is definitely not null at the time of execution

[ancient nova]

@earnest phoenix

it waits until both of them are valid

to send a message

[woeful pike]

I don't think there are resize events for elements like those

[civic scroll]

aaaa

this is hard

[earnest phoenix]

To debug this further, it's probably better to put a log in the third if statement in the collect event to see how many times the <Interaction>.update() method is actually called, if it's called the expected amount of times, then it's caused by something else rather than the collectors

[ancient nova]

it's called once, I'm absolutely sure of that

the collector is limited to 2 button presses from the 2 users who started the RPS match

but fine

I'll put the log in there

[sharp geyser]

[earnest phoenix]

Finally you're getting a hang of it, that's how developers truly debug things

[sharp geyser]

I love when people say things like that and then when they actually go to log stuff they turn out to be wrong majority of the time

Anyway it's 4am gn peeps

[ancient nova]

yeah but I have to change the code each debug cause everyone is still asleep 😭

the game needs two people to test it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983416928829841438/992749287043780659/obraz_2022-07-02_131112144.png

it shows the interaction as failed whenever I update

[earnest phoenix]

Have you ever thought of testing them on an alt account? It's pretty easy

You don't need other people to test it with

[ancient nova]

in the last cloudflare outage I lost accesst to all my alts cause all the passwords I saved are deleted

[earnest phoenix]

Then create a new alt account

[ancient nova]

reseting the password to them would be a pain

[earnest phoenix]

Mind showing your whole code rather than just the collectors?

[ancient nova]

2 times it appears

and the user can change the answer after it's been called

[ancient nova]

ofc

[ancient nova]

https://pastebin.com/QpqCDq7w

[earnest phoenix]

Looking at your code, I don't see anything that could be causing, I still think it's something from your Discord client, or the bot crashes before Discord can send the interaction data to it

And the collector in your code doesn't stop even after one of the users have won, because you're not stopping it until 30 seconds has passed

[ancient nova]

oh I see I've forgotten to include limit: 2

[split hazel]

discord developer team when you ask them to make a linked list

[ancient nova]

won't that break if the same user presses the button twice though?

[ancient nova]

I have no idea how to fix I still think it's something from your Discord client, or the bot crashes before Discord can send the interaction data to it though...

[earnest phoenix]

You aren't supposed to set a limit/max in this case, you're supposed to stop the collector manually

[ancient nova]

and I think those ephermal messages are the one thing that makes the buttons actually better than reaction "buttons"

[ancient nova]

c.stop()?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[ancient nova]

so that would fix those replies?

[earnest phoenix]

No because it doesn't seem like that's causing that failure, I'm just pointing out a bug in your code

[ancient nova]

I see...

that kinda sucks

[earnest phoenix]

Invite me to the test server I guess, I'll test it with you

[ancient nova]

thank you 🙂

[midnight marsh]

@ancient nova What's your problem? I already have your bot in my server

[earnest phoenix]

is it possible to attach an api to the wesbite from the bot even if they are separate code?

[earnest phoenix]

"from the bot"?

yea

for a status page

I meant like that doesn't really make sense, maybe rephrase it?

[pallid zinc]

That is what people use api for

[earnest phoenix]

uhh..
so i am creating a status page, i want to use an api that would link the website to the bot. My question will it work if the bot and website have a separate code as in separate repos

Absolutely

oh can i use express? or do i use the in built api next.js has? (i am using next.js for my website)

You can use any of them you like

ohh alright

oh yes, are there any good packages for image gif generation?

[sage bobcat]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[earnest phoenix]

Well there's https://www.npmjs.com/package/make-a-gif for simple GIF generation

There's also https://www.npmjs.com/package/gifencoder for generating GIFs using Canvas contexts and buffers

ohh alright

i will check it out

[earnest phoenix]

What's the error message though?

[spark flint]

apologies - thought i sent that lmao

[earnest phoenix]

Ah that's because there's no module property exported by default, and you haven't assigned it either

[spark flint]

ah

oh wait ii've done it the wrong way wround

round*

fml

module.exports not exports.module

[earnest phoenix]

exports.chunk = ... works as well without the module

[spark flint]

ah

[ancient nova]

it was the rock paper scissors command, I managed to fix it by doing something very dumb that didn't work before

but it did work because of @earnest phoenix

turns out I should've dropped i.update from the start and just reply to the message, that way the intercation won't fail

[ancient nova]

you should really really really make this code more readable lmao

Promise.resolve you can use this code to resolve singular promises

just loop through your map and resolve it without all the mess

[spark flint]

That’s just how Discord formatted it

It’s more readable in VSC

[split hazel]

will doing

some_struct some_array[1024];

int main() {
  some_struct item = some_array[index];
  item.some_prop = 2;
}```
result in a copy or a reference

or do i need to add a & after the type

this is the shit im still not certain on in c++/c

i dont know when something gets copied or referenced

or whether something is released prematurely

[split hazel]

that tends to fuck me up a lot

[pale vessel]

Whahahahahahahahahahaat

No async functions in map()

[cinder patio]

it doesn't even need to be async

[pale vessel]

For Promise.all(), it needs to be an array of promises but you're not returning anything

[cinder patio]

Shouldn't that copy?

Can't you test it out yourself

some_struct some_array[1024];

int main() {
  some_struct item = some_array[index];
  std::cout << &some_array[index] == &item;
  item.some_prop = 2;

removed the Promise bit

[pale vessel]

oh sorry, neither does the first .map()

[spark flint]

the first one does tho for async

because await channel.send

Any web developer here?

You're using Promise.all() though

increment the loop first and return the send() method

[spark flint]

not using promise.all now

[pale vessel]

No need for await

[spark flint]

removed that

[pale vessel]

I see

Then use a for loop

[wheat mesa]

If you have a question, just ask it here, people will respond eventually

[hallow compass]

Ok

[spark flint]

whats the most slash command options possible lmao

[solemn latch]

16?

I just made up a number ^_^

[spark flint]

lol

i mean for like the drop down options

like these

[solemn latch]

choices?

25

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-structure

[spark flint]

ah 😔

[solemn latch]

Choices for STRING, INTEGER, and NUMBER types for the user to pick from, max 25

[spark flint]

i have 65 options i want to add 💀

[solemn latch]

[fervent moss]

How to delete commands in d.js?

[earnest phoenix]

You mean slash-commands?

[fervent moss]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

You can use this method to do so
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/ApplicationCommandManager?scrollTo=delete

For global commands: <Client>.application.commands.delete()
For guild commands: <Guild>.commands.delete()

[fervent moss]

It will delete all guild commands i wanna delete a specific onr

[earnest phoenix]

If you read the documentation, you can specify the commands you want to delete

[quartz kindle]

i have 500k+

your argument is invalid

[spark flint]

[lyric mountain]

And the best part, the options are based on already supplied options

[stark abyss]

mongodb how do I check if something exist in db? findone method?

[midnight marsh]

Hmmm

[split hazel]

speedydb has a method which does that

wrong database

in mongo i believe the only way is to findOne

but you can make it faster by not returning any columns

[stark abyss]

Okay it's working

[cinder patio]

columns in mongodb?

[split hazel]

what else would you call them

[pine nova]

documents

[quartz kindle]

^

[pine nova]

[quartz kindle]

i believe the preferred way to check if something exists in mongodb these days is either .find() because it returns a cursor, or .countDocuments()

[split hazel]

youd call properties documents?

i was saying you should only return the _id field because you dont need anything else

[solemn latch]

in mongo they are called documents

[split hazel]

really?

[pine nova]

ye

[split hazel]

this is news to me

[solemn latch]

really strange

[split hazel]

what do you call things then

things inside of collections

[pine nova]

thats document?

[split hazel]

yeah so why are fields called documents

[pine nova]

each document contains key value pairs of data

[split hazel]

thats called a field

or a column

if you want to refer to rdms ways

[pine nova]

u can say that

[split hazel]

mongodb is cringe

[solemn latch]

database > document > fields

in mongo

[split hazel]

yes thats what i meant

i thought you all were calling the things inside of the actual documents documents

[pine nova]

💀

[solemn latch]

ohh

no

sorry ^_^

[quartz kindle]

or database > collection > document > fields

[solemn latch]

^ that yeah

[split hazel]

i only use speedydb

mysql too old

[solemn latch]

I only use json databases

[pine nova]

whats speedydb?

[split hazel]

mongodb too emo

[split hazel]

im glad you asked

[pine nova]

[pine nova]

no sql right

[quartz kindle]

sqlite god

lmdb god

[pine nova]

[split hazel]

oracle db tho

[lyric mountain]

sqlite is a tiny sob that can fit all atoms in Earth inside 1MB

[sick agate]

it's oracle what you expect

[split hazel]

if i dont get my free tier someone at oracle hq is gonna get it

where even is it

[quartz kindle]

still at war with them?

[split hazel]

Austin, Texas, United States

they will regret banning me

booking a ticket

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[split hazel]

bro they will not let me

i might try play around with some of the information i entered but dont feel it right now

the second card wasnt banned but it says "your trial cannot be processed because of a few plain basic reasons"

[quartz kindle]

Lol

[sick agate]

wha

[split hazel]

and when emailing them i get the same we cannot process the trial and wont tell you why response

[quartz kindle]

dafuq does that even mean

does this happen after your card is charged?

[sick agate]

oracle is simply:
we provide nice shit but you need to agree that we can sell your data

[split hazel]

yeah after

it verifies the card successfully

it just wont start the trial

[quartz kindle]

rip

[sick agate]

oof

[split hazel]

i went through all of the reasons and concluded none of them are the reason except the one that says "any software which may be used to obfuscate your identity"

i used brave and then tried doing it on chrome but still

[quartz kindle]

i did it on firefox with all extensions disabled

[split hazel]

might also be my internet

[sick agate]

possible

[split hazel]

might also try it when im on break at work

[sick agate]

gl

[split hazel]

they wont tell me tho

do their systems think im a criminal or something

[sick agate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quartz kindle]

they found speedyOS and they found it to be of criminal nature

[split hazel]

or it may be the fact indeed that they have an ai which measures the probability of you using the cloud for free without paying and declines you without telling you

[split hazel]

💀

speaking of speedyos i got paging working

very cool

[quartz kindle]

nice

[split hazel]

i hope you know what paging is

otherwise i may have to go on a ramble

[quartz kindle]

well i know what page files are, and that paging on windows is basically like swapping on linux

but i also know memory allocators organize everything into "pages" of memory

which are fixed sized blocks, and act as the minimum allocatable amount of memory

[split hazel]

yeah paging is usually known as swapping memory from the ram and disk to free ram

but actually its a more complicated process where your second point relates to

memory is divided into fixed size blocks (usually 4kb but can be 1mb or 1gb with certain extensions)

[quartz kindle]

yeah depending on the allocator

[split hazel]

and from that point all memory you reference is virtual

[quartz kindle]

for example jemalloc uses "arenas" which are various different sized pages

[split hazel]

you dont refer to physical locations anymore

you actually cant do that

what allocators do i think is request pages from the os

and then its up to the allocator what they do inside of the pages

because all memory addresses from the point of enabling paging is virtual the OS can easily make memory appear sequential when its actually located in two completely different parts of ram physically

so if an allocator needs more memory it requests more pages which the os sends back in blocks which appear sequential

and because all addresses are virtual the os can mark certain addresses as "unavailable" which will cause the cpu to inform the OS everytime a program references a memory location thats unavailable

thats whats done when memory is swapped onto the disk

[compact pier]

can I use cloudflare worker to host a backend server?

just to get spotify activity

[sick agate]

possible

[quartz kindle]

depending on what the backend server does, yes

[sick agate]

depends on logic

[fervent moss]

How to make numbers like going form 1 to x depending on y fields?

[sick agate]

huh

[ancient nova]

dam I can't find anymore games to add to my bot

I've got no ideas

my last idea is to make a hangman type game

you have to guess a word by typing letters in chat

if you type incorrectly you get a strike

3 strikes = death

but it sounds pretty incoherent

so I need a better idea

[fervent moss]

In this thing adding sr. No.

Like
1] djjdj. 2

2] sjdjj 5

i+1 isn't working

[sick agate]

idk

[fervent moss]

https://sourceb.in/HwjAVs1hxx

If someone knows what to do then just edit this source bin and resend link ;-;

[solemn latch]

🤔 I'm having a hard time following it just because the variable names are so undescriptive.

[compact pier]

a b c

:_)

[fervent moss]

I was tired of thinking of var names so random names

[craggy pine]

Var names should be what they are / do

to make it easier to get help

[compact pier]

I just give up, noice, hi, shy, baba

[solemn latch]

var names are not for you, its for the people reading your code(which can be you, down the road)

[compact pier]

so what is the problem?

[ancient nova]

you dont have to think of names

just name them what they do

for eg name an array ur going to change later to
CHANGEABLE_ARRAY

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solemn latch]

While its not necessarily a rule here, the odds of getting help goes up dramatically if you properly form your code to common standards before asking.

[ancient nova]

also 😔

I'm so bad at coming up with ideas

[solemn latch]

Blackjack?

[ancient nova]

I don't really know how that game works tho 😭

I've never played it

[solemn latch]

Its pretty simple

[compact pier]

google :D

[ancient nova]

google describes it as pretty complicated

[compact pier]

so it is very simple

I think first you get 3 cards

if the sum of those 3 cards more then 21

u lose

[ancient nova]

I was thinking of adding something like tic tac toe level of simplicity, though I do already have tic tac toe made

[compact pier]

if not, you can either stop or take more cards

[fervent moss]

Yeah i would do that at some point of time

[ancient nova]

so you play until u lose?

kinda weird lol

[solemn latch]

Tic tac toe was actually harder than blackjack for me to make.

[compact pier]

nope

if u get like 19

there is a high risk to lose

and if you stop

[fervent moss]

I want like sr no.

Like
1] username votes
2] username votes

Here 1 , 2 are.missiong so what should I do?

[compact pier]

and your opponent have 18

then u win

if more then 19 then u lose

[ancient nova]

okay that makes sense

kinda

[compact pier]

just watch a video how they play

or try the game

[ancient nova]

if I'm understanding, 2 people get 3 cards, the one who has the less total number wins?

[compact pier]

what is missing?

[compact pier]

noooo, who get more sum win

but the sum cannot be more then 21

and if first 3 cards sum is too small, you can take more cards

[compact pier]

you can something like Array.indexof(item) to get the item's possition

[ancient nova]

I'm so so lost

[compact pier]

ok so

[ancient nova]

heads up on indexOf tho

it's not a boolean

nor does it return a bool

I got confused first time I used it as well

[compact pier]

it return the possition of the item in a array

[ancient nova]

yeah

[compact pier]

back to the game

so first game

u get

3, 6, 9 = 18

[ancient nova]

okok

[compact pier]

now

the sum is 18

[ancient nova]

ok

[compact pier]

and by the rule, the sum cannot be more then 21, if it is more then you lose

[ancient nova]

ok

[compact pier]

now I will play risk, I want to make it 21

so I pull 1 more card

3, 6, 9, 4 = 22

[ancient nova]

ok ok wait

[compact pier]

I lose

[ancient nova]

ok hold on

[solemn latch]

A video or a guide will be faster.

Or finding someone's bot with a blackjack command will do too.

[ancient nova]

if I create the game, it would start with the bot telling you the 3 cards with an ephermal message, now that ephermal message would have 2 buttons

[compact pier]

for example Doreamon

[ancient nova]

raise number, stay

[compact pier]

pull card, stop

yes

[ancient nova]

you choose raise number = 1 more card, stay = go

[compact pier]

yes

[ancient nova]

same for the other person

[compact pier]

yes

[ancient nova]

now once that choice is done

the game finishes

yes?

[compact pier]

you compare those 2 player's card

[solemn latch]

It goes on until you lose, or you ask for no more cards.

[compact pier]

can we use J, Q, K ?

i dont reaslly remember

[ancient nova]

so how does one lose wtf

😭

[compact pier]

if the sum more then 21

[solemn latch]

Those are 11 iirc.
I've not played in years

[ancient nova]

but the sum to have more than 21 literally would take 1-2 turns so

[solemn latch]

I've had games with 6 cards before I stood

[ancient nova]

plus what's the point of continusing a game for longer if there is like 99% chance the game will be decided the instant one user makes a choice

1 gets 16 other one gets 18

no need to continue

I'm

so

[compact pier]

yeah, it is the hard part. You decide, take more card and accept the risk. Or play with small sum

[ancient nova]

confused

[solemn latch]

The dealer follows a set of rules

The player is facing the dealer, not another player

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/g/bv3kc.gif

[solemn latch]

The dealer has to make certain choices.

[ancient nova]

I'm still confused

I'd rather not

[compact pier]

me 2

[ancient nova]

this seems more like a chore to play than a fun game

[craggy pine]

You hit, if it's under 21 you can keep going but the bot gets another card aswell

[ancient nova]

so thanks for the help but I think I might pass on this..

[craggy pine]

you stand if you want too and bot will try to either win or they'll lose

[solemn latch]

blackjack is my all time favorite card game 😔

[ancient nova]

nah I'm making my game system to be an online-type game

you can only play with other people

[craggy pine]

well its the same thing if you had another player

[solemn latch]

well, blackjack is typically played at a table of 5 people

[ancient nova]

oh I see

this might be quite hard to get 5 people together then lol

[ancient nova]

my bot has only 51 servers atm so even if it was global I doubt a lot of people would acc use it

[compact pier]

both get more then 21

[ancient nova]

🙏

[compact pier]

draw

[ancient nova]

thank you

[solemn latch]

well, its a 1-5 player game in most casinos. you're playing the deck and dealer, but you're watching others moves too

[ancient nova]

you're using emojis as buttons

[solemn latch]

👀 we havent even gone into splits yet ^_^

[ancient nova]

[solemn latch]

I really need to restart my blackjack bot, that thing was beautiful

[compact pier]

I get 20, so I will stop

[solemn latch]

simulated decks, 5 players, full blackjack support with multiple rulesets

[compact pier]

dealer get 20 too, so tied

[ancient nova]

nah

this will be too hard to make online

I doubt many people will understand how to play it as well

[solemn latch]

I think its the most popular casino game next to roulette

forsure the most popular card game

[ancient nova]

maybe I'll add blackjack once I decide on an economy system

but not as a fun game

cause it doesn't really seem fun if I'm honest 😭

to be honest I was thinking of a 2 person type of game

I already made ttt, c4, rps and was thinking a good way to make hangman

those seem like the type of games to make like that

I think at least..

[wheat mesa]

Blackjack is nice because it’s a simple game at its core, you have two (or 3 depending on the situation) options at all times, mostly based on luck

[solemn latch]

Yeah, its super approachable.

[ancient nova]

I can't really think of a good way to make this into a 2 player game even with the examples you guys showed me

so idrk..

[wheat mesa]

Speaking of which, is there any issues regarding Discord ToS when it comes to things like gambling? As in, pure virtual currency, and 0 connection to real currency whatsoever

[solemn latch]

Not that I'm aware of

[ancient nova]

I don't think so... otherwise dank memer would be non existent at this point

[solemn latch]

any connection to real currency is taken really seriously.
even if its just a games currency.

some gambling communities around mobile game currency have been shut down

as they could be sold online

[ancient nova]

that's plain stupid?? discord taking dank memer "memecoin" as currency lol

[solemn latch]

no, I mean like an actual games currency

[sick agate]

pretty sure you can sell dank member coins for some reason

[ancient nova]

well it just depends on how it's done I guess

[solemn latch]

👀 really

[ancient nova]

cs;go currency is knives for example

and they get sold for millions

[ancient nova]

I got 10 billion anyone wanna buy

I used to farm that's y

[sick agate]

nah

[ancient nova]

does anyone know the scroll bar class name for discord?

I wanna make it transparent but I can't seem to be able to find it's color property even in inspect element

[solemn latch]

typically scrollbars are just ::-webkit-scrollbar ::-webkit-scrollbar-track ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb

for example,

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 5px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  display:none;
}
 
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #515151; 
  border-radius: 10px;
}

[ancient nova]

I tried changing both the color and backgroundColor properties it doesn't seem to change anything

[sick agate]

which browswr

[ancient nova]

google chrome

[sick agate]

oh

it was expected if it was Firefox

[wheat mesa]

Webkit style selectors are for Firefox/IE iirc

[sick agate]

oh

.......

[wheat mesa]

Idk though

Might be

[ancient nova]

I tried fetching the query, class and ID

[sick agate]

browsers are totally not weird and ultra legacy

[ancient nova]

I got results which werent null and clearly pointed to the scrollbar yet changing the properties didn't have any effect

and it makes me so irritated when I look at it

looks so out of place

[wheat mesa]

Can you show what code you’re using

[ancient nova]

for (const query of document.querySelectorAll('*')) {
     query.style.backgroundColor = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)';
}

[compact pier]

BetterDiscord ig

[wheat mesa]

Try using a hex color instead

[ancient nova]

right now I'm fetching every query and this makes most of the objects transparent

[ancient nova]

hex doesn't have transparency tho

[compact pier]

omg, discord client disabled f12 or ctrl shift i

[ancient nova]

no way

[wheat mesa]

Just try it, you might not be allowed to set the transparency of the scroll bar with color properties

[compact pier]

i spamming f12 it doesn't work

[wheat mesa]

See if it’s at least selecting it

[sharp geyser]

Depends on the browser

[ancient nova]

if it was selecting it then the scroll bar would turn black

[sharp geyser]

Some browsers that won't work on

[wheat mesa]

My dude just try it

[sharp geyser]

I can't remember which browsers but I know that is a thing

[ancient nova]

okok

everything changed except the scroll bar

[wheat mesa]

Oh I’m just realizing that the scrollbar probably isn’t even an element

Probably just y-overflow of some sort

[ancient nova]

wha???

how do I capture that

[wheat mesa]

Idk

[sharp geyser]

wdym waffle?

[solemn latch]

Yeah

[sharp geyser]

ah wait nvm

I misread what you said

[sharp geyser]

Also don't know if you knew this

These are the vendor-prefixed properties offered by the relevant rendering engines (-webkit for Chrome, Safari; -moz for Firefox, -o for Opera, -ms for Internet Explorer). Typically they're used to implement new, or proprietary CSS features, prior to final clarification/definition by the W3.

if you did sorry for already explaining but hey now its there for those who didn't

[wheat mesa]

So happy that we need 30 different brands of css for 30 different browsers

[solemn latch]

yeah

[sharp geyser]

Well now, css wouldn't be torture if there wasn't now would it?

you'd be taking the fun out of css

[sick agate]

try scrollbar

or idek

[solemn latch]

scrollbar is for firefox only

[sick agate]

oh

[sharp geyser]

yea

[compact pier]

isn't it --webkit

[sick agate]

browsers are totally not weird

[compact pier]

i think

[sharp geyser]

nah

[solemn latch]

I had a rough time dealing with all this too

[sharp geyser]

do we know what browser he is on?

[ancient nova]

it's honestly so infuriating

[ancient nova]

chrome

[solemn latch]

I just used these guys temporarily until I feel like fixing it for a website of mine

[sharp geyser]

then -webkit should be working

[ancient nova]

it doesn't

[sharp geyser]

maybe something is overriding it?

[ancient nova]

it just returns null

[compact pier]

discord front end dev :>

[ancient nova]

so the properly doesn't exist

[sharp geyser]

well it does 100% exist lol

I've used it

[ancient nova]

try it then

it doesn't appear to do anything so idk how you managed to get it working

[solemn latch]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/15376449

[compact pier]

there are 2 scrollbar, 1 for user list, 1 for chat

[sharp geyser]

also -webkit-scrollbar doesn't change the actual scrollbar it just changes thebackground of the scrollbar, thumb iirc is what changes the sscrolling part

[solemn latch]

yeah, scrollbar is the actual background bar

nono wait

👀

[ancient nova]

so it's impossible?

[compact pier]

try display:none to see if u access the correct one

:>

maybe wrong attribute

[ancient nova]

okay it actually worked

[solemn latch]

scrollbar is the container isnt it?

scrollbar > track > thumb

track is the background

[compact pier]

what work

[solemn latch]

thumb is the sliding part

[sharp geyser]

ah maybe you're right

so touching scrollbar there really is no point unless you wanna change the width of the entire thing ig

you'd wanna focus track and thumb if you wanna change its color and such

[ancient nova]

uhhh

surprising to see there is a scrollbar near the emoji icon

why tho?

[sharp geyser]

woah is that a custom background I see

def not doing the same

[ancient nova]

[sharp geyser]

Probably some weird discord flaw in their design

Cause technically the scrollbar stops at where the chat input starts

[compact pier]

just apply to every class :DD

[ancient nova]

though I see changing the backgroundColor property changes the actual element background instead of the scroller background

so that's annoying

[ancient nova]

ah now I see

it increases when you type in the chat

[solemn latch]

you're trying to change the track background?

[ancient nova]

the scroll bar and the bar handle to make it a little bit transparent to fit with the rest of the theme I'm going for

[solemn latch]

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: red;
}

[ancient nova]

I can't inject custom CSS I need to override the existing property..

editing discord CSS is tricky because it constantly changes

the trick I used is to track location and update CSS when that changes

@sharp geyser how did you do your css edit?

[sharp geyser]

I went towards the smarter people and let them do all the work

[solemn latch]

🤔 isnt it the same process, i'm just saying its the track you need to select, not the scrollbar itself.

[ancient nova]

[ancient nova]

discord updates it when you hover on it so any change u made changes back

:/

[sharp geyser]

You can inject your own custom css and js into electron ig

[ancient nova]

I'll try figuring it out in a bit

[split hazel]

@boreal iron @quartz kindle speedyos bouta finally have segmentation faults

you can stop laughing at my os being broken because when it is broken i'll know

[boreal iron]

As long as there’s no PHP support I can’t take it seriously

[split hazel]

only c++/c/rust support

take it or leave it

basically anything that can compile down to assembly

[boreal iron]

leaving the room

[split hazel]

no pages for you

[boreal iron]

😥

[split hazel]

thats like playing minesweeper with no safe zones

[quartz kindle]

make a minesweeper game but if you hit a bomb the os segfaults/bsods

[split hazel]

good idea

[quartz kindle]

make it display random garbage on screen so its different every time

[split hazel]

if you hit a bomb it will wipe your hard drive

[boreal iron]

lol

[quartz kindle]

thats a bit too much

[split hazel]

should be enough motivation

[quartz kindle]

maybe add a hardcore mode that does that

disabled by default

[boreal iron]

Or it literally renames and moves all your files

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[boreal iron]

That’s enough I guess

[quartz kindle]

scramble the file table

[sharp geyser]

Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:' tf does this mean

😔

[split hazel]

if it detects you pressed the power button during the game it will wipe it anyways

[quartz kindle]

it means exactly what it says

[sharp geyser]

yes but why

[quartz kindle]

use file://

not C:/

[sharp geyser]

I have no idea how i should do that tho

[split hazel]

bro file system support comes later

once i have fs support i'll also add disk thrashing

[sharp geyser]

resolve only returns

C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\locale\locales\de.json
C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\locale\locales\en.json```

[boreal iron]

Boot loader and logo first

[boreal iron]

Already spent 1000$ on a nice boot logo

[split hazel]

if you want to troll the OS make a bunch of processes and make them each allocate multiple blocks of massive chunks of memory and then continuously access them in a loop so the OS cant move them to the drive temporarily

[split hazel]

dont want to write a bootloader just yet

because i think that makes it so you have to load the rest of the OS from the drive to memory

[boreal iron]

And there’s nothing yet, right?

[split hazel]

and idk how to access fs yet

i only know the built in bios emulated way of writing/reading from disk exists

[boreal iron]

Fuck the fs, try something new and innovative

[split hazel]

the rest i think you need usb support

well yeah im writing my own file system

using someone elses is mid

should probably add a waiting for IO status to my os now

just so i dont forget

[boreal iron]

I see

All you need is a marketing manager

I’m available

Only taking 90% of your profit and 110$/h

🙃

[split hazel]

I'll think about it

[sharp geyser]

I know you worked on a localization thing before, any opinions on this shit show
https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/soqojepuni.typescript

I basically save all the stuff from the locales files into a map that I call later when translating using a key/prop

[sharp geyser]

So say I have an json file full of data, some nested some not.
What would be the easiest way to get that data as I need it.
I was trying to use the dot notation of like
get(contentsFromFile, 'bot.welcome.message', 'Nothing at this Path')

this would traverse the bot object, and welcome object and finally arrive at message which has an actual value to display

I was using the https://npmjs.com/package/dot-prop but it is full esm and I don't wanna go through the headache of making my package esm rn

[quartz kindle]

you can still use esm libs with async imports

[sharp geyser]

wdym

[sharp geyser]

what is async imports?

[quartz kindle]

await import("dot-prop")

[sharp geyser]

don't you need your package.json to have type: "module" for that ?

[quartz kindle]

nop

Then what tf

    public async t<T>(prop: string): Promise<T | string> {
        const { getProperty } = await import('dot-prop')
        return getProperty(this.locales.get(this.options.lng), prop, 'Nothing to find at this path.')!
    }

[quartz kindle]

it says you're still using require?

[sharp geyser]

But I'm not

I only use require when I'm testing my package in a js file

Could that cause it to have issues?

[quartz kindle]

are you using ts-node?

[sharp geyser]

No

[quartz kindle]

check the compiled js file

see what typescript did with that import

[sharp geyser]

Alright

[sharp geyser]

    async t(prop) {
        const { getProperty } = await Promise.resolve().then(() => __importStar(require('dot-prop')));
        return getProperty(this.locales.get(this.options.lng), prop, 'Nothing to find at this path.');
    }

they used require

[fallen holly]

can you guys help me.
I'm making games for my discord bots and going to give coins to them
what should i do with that coin

[quartz kindle]

then you need to edit your tsconfig

try setting "module": "node12"

[wooden ember]

anyone know how to resent the voice connection? on a bot

everynow and then my internet cuts off for a second or two and i have to reboot the entire bot for voice to start playing again

even if the bot wasnt in a chat at the time

or if i kick it and make it join again

is there any fix for this other than just make my bot reboot every hour?

[sharp geyser]

node12 errors saying tsconfig.json:3:15 - error TS6046: Argument for '--module' option must be: 'none', 'commonjs', 'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es6', 'es2015', 'es2020', 'es2022', 'esnext', 'node16', 'nodenext'.

[lyric mountain]

well, the pink elephant would be finding why a vps is losing connection

or are u self-hosting?

[quartz kindle]

then try node16 or nodenext

[sharp geyser]

already did

same thing happens

[quartz kindle]

same as tsconfig.json:3:15 - error TS6046 or same as import transpiled into require?

[sharp geyser]

import transpiled into require

[quartz kindle]

then try the es ones

es2020 es2022 esnext

[sharp geyser]

yea that made it transpile into import but other things get broken in the process

C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\locale\out\index.js:1
export * from './struct';

Now this becomes an issue

my barrel files break

[quartz kindle]

welcome to ts

[sharp geyser]

😔

Fucking love this conundrum

[quartz kindle]

what a mess https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/43329

lmao

apparently the only 100% reliable solution is this ```ts
Function('return import("abc")')() as Promise<typeof import('abc')>

lmao

[wheat mesa]

well then

[sharp geyser]

What the actual fuck

[quartz kindle]

basically set the import as a string and eval it

that will prevent ts from transpiling it

[sharp geyser]

😩

[quartz kindle]

someone else said that it works now with "module":"nodenext" on ts 4.7+ but you get warnings for being nightly/unstable

[sharp geyser]

Well if i do it this way how will I use dot-prop's methods

🤔

[quartz kindle]

const importDotProp = Function('return import("dot-prop")')() as Promise<typeof import('dot-prop')>;

const { abc } = await importDotProp;

[round cove]

That is funky

[sharp geyser]

That might work in some cases but not here apparently

TS2349: This expression is not callable.   Type 'Promise<typeof import("C:/Users/dyeaa/Documents/github/misty/locale/node_modules/dot-prop/index")>' has no call signatures.

[round cove]

are you having mjs issues

[sharp geyser]

I am having trying not to use esm issues

esm bad rn

[round cove]

esm sucks DICK

I agree

🤝

[sharp geyser]

It would be good

if it was actually fully released

[quartz kindle]

show code

[sharp geyser]

and not experimental

    public async t<T>(prop: string): Promise<T | string> {
        const importDotProp = Function('return import("dot-prop")')() as Promise<typeof import('dot-prop')>;

        const { getProperty } = await importDotProp();

        return getProperty(this.locales.get(this.options.lng), prop, 'Nothing to find at this path.')!
    }

[round cove]

Yo wait wtf

dynamic import?

[quartz kindle]

try removing the () from importDotProp

or just await Function directly

[sharp geyser]

Actually that makes sense tim

[round cove]

What's this supposed to achieve anyway? I'm interested

[sharp geyser]

dot-prop is a esm package

I don't wanna swap to esm to support it

[quartz kindle]

prevent ts from transpiling import to require

[sharp geyser]

and that ^

you can't require a esm package so you have to use import

[quartz kindle]

but for some dumb reason ts transpiles dynamic imports to require

[round cove]

Does this need to be imported in the function to begin with?

[quartz kindle]

dynamic imports are async

there is no top-level await in cjs

[sharp geyser]

now to figure out why I am getting the default value instead of what I am actually looking for

😔

bot.message
{ lng: 'en' }
{ bot: { mesaage: 'Hello, World' } }
Nothing to find at this path.

Tell me bot.message doesn't exist

smh

[round cove]

Sorry just trying to figure out if this needed to be dynamically imported.

[sharp geyser]

it does

[round cove]

mesaage

[sharp geyser]

cause cjs can't import esm packages

with require*

[sharp geyser]

thanks I am a fucking idiot

[round cove]

I thought you were making a joke lmfao

Hmm I THOUGHT it was possible to import esm with es2020

I might be misremembering

I just remember hating esm so much lol

[sharp geyser]

bot.message
{ lng: 'en' }
{ bot: { message: 'Hello, World' } }
Hello, World

[sharp geyser]

esm can import cjs cjs cannot import esm

that is one of the reasons a lot of people are swapping to esm

One thing I am wondering is though

Is it good to be saving all the contents of their locale files to a map?

Right now I am reading the data of their locale json files and saving its content to a map with the file's name being the key which is also the files locale key e.g en

[quartz kindle]

i dont see why not

[round cove]

Watcha making though @sharp geyser

[pale vessel]

The way I did it is by having an external package require something for you and return it since TypeScript doesn't change the code for those https://github.com/flazepe/inclusion

^ that's just a fork to fix it crashing on Windows

[sharp geyser]

localization package

[snow urchin]

How can I stop node-gyp trying to use multiple visual studio versions? I have 2022 version installed, and both yarn and npm config are set to use the 2022 version.

https://i.callum-is.gay/KOPokEhO84.png

[wheat mesa]

wha-

Is that the actual syntax? Seems… odd

[sharp geyser]

I was logging some stuff

const { Localization } = require("locale");
(async () => {
  const locale = new Localization({ lng: "en" });

  await locale.addMultipleIn("locales");

  console.log(await locale.t("bot.message"));
})();

this an example of how I was doing it

lng would be set with some kind of language detector what not. (I could probably do something better but this is my first version of it so leave me alone before you bully me waffle)

[wheat mesa]

locale.t is getting the message you set for bot.message right? Shouldn’t you make this a synchronous operation?

[sharp geyser]

Well it is kind of hard to when I have to do what tim suggested above

[wheat mesa]

Why not load the locale file into a Map

[sharp geyser]

I am dummy

[wheat mesa]

O(1) access too

[sharp geyser]

I am

dummy

what you think addMultipleIn does?

it takes the files in locales folder and reads it's contents putting it into a map with the locale as the key

[wheat mesa]

I don’t know because apparently you need to await more things after loading the file which should in theory be your only async operation

[sharp geyser]

WELL TS IS JUST DUMB WAFFLE

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/sosiciridu.typescript

[wheat mesa]

Why not store all your locales as Map<Map<string>>

[sharp geyser]

here is the entire Localization folder

Map inside a map?

tf

[wheat mesa]

Where the first map key corresponds to the locale, and the second key corresponds to the message

[sharp geyser]

waffle if you wanna make this better

go ahead

I am tired
