development

[sharp geyser]

I spent hours on this just to get dynamic imports to work

😔

[wheat mesa]

And then have all your locales loaded in memory unless specified otherwise

Then have like Locale.t('en', 'bot.message')

I’m probably missing something here but it feels wrong to need to await localization like that

I understand the ts being dummy thing but still

[sharp geyser]

well you don't need to await it

that is if oyu don't want the contents

[wheat mesa]

How are localization files normally formatted

Like a key value I assume?

[sharp geyser]

yes

[wheat mesa]

Then why do you need the dotprop package

If it’s already key value

[sharp geyser]

Cause dot prop allows to go deeper than just 1 lookup

[wheat mesa]

You could do some sort of syntax like Locale.get('en.message');

[sharp geyser]

{
  "bot": {
    "message": "Hello, World",
    "id": 1231313321,
    "blah": {
      "blah2": {
        "something": "asomerasd"
      },
      "something": "somethingelse"
    }
  }
}

so you can nest

[wheat mesa]

Oh localization uses objects too?

[round cove]

Nest what though?

[wheat mesa]

I thought localization was just one string value to each key

[round cove]

Same

What does the nest8ng do though? More?

[sharp geyser]

the idea behind nesting is to organize your shit

[round cove]

Organize what

[wheat mesa]

But localization is about translating phrases

I don’t see why you’d need nesting for that

[sharp geyser]

{
  "bot": {
    "welcome": {
      "mainMessage": "Hello, there blah",
      "someOtherImportantMessage": "Something idfk",
    },
    "somethingImportant": "asdadsasd"
  }
}

This is what I was idealing about

whatever though ig

I can do it like you guys suggest

[wheat mesa]

Do what you want to do

[sharp geyser]

ruining my fun hmph

I just don't see why nesting isn't a thing

like why not allow nesting?

[round cove]

Oh

Lol

At work we do this

[sharp geyser]

It would make your localization files easier to read

[wheat mesa]

It seems more complex to handle and you have to do that janky ts thing

[sharp geyser]

I only have to do it for now

until the ts devs decide to fix it

[wheat mesa]

(never)

[sharp geyser]

waffle we remain hopeful here

[round cove]

{
  "CLOUD:NAME": "ProductName",
  "CLOUD:SIGNIN:USERNAME": "Username",
  "CLOUD:SIGNIN:PASSWORD": "Password"
}```

[wheat mesa]

Yeah that seems to make more sense

But it’s all up to you

[sharp geyser]

Mmmm

I just feel like going by dot notation is easier for me to handle

I also gotta work on allowing them to have placeholders in their localization files

[round cove]

So here we could do

{
  "WELCOME:MAIN_MESSAGE": "Hello World",
  "WELCOME_SOME_OTHER_THING": "Something else",
}```

This is the i18n standard btw

[sharp geyser]

which I could probably just do a .replace on

[wheat mesa]

You might want to look at how mainstream localization is standardized

[round cove]

the language translation tool

[sharp geyser]

😔

why the fuck do I have to follow standards

[round cove]

Not saying you do I'm just saying this is i18n's

That's what we use at work

I imagine it's a little bit easier than object parsing.

[wheat mesa]

Standards are good misty don’t go down this hole 🤬

[sharp geyser]

no fuck you waffle

[wheat mesa]

Standards make life easier for the developer

[round cove]

Misty breaks the norms

[sharp geyser]

I make my own standards

[wheat mesa]

Based

[sharp geyser]

that just looks stupid

welcome.message just looks better

[round cove]

I don't think it looks that bad...

[wheat mesa]

I think that it would be smart to make sure you at least support the standard way of doing things, otherwise people probably won’t use it

[sharp geyser]

I am treating this as if you are looking up stuff from actual objects dylan that is the only reason I say this

[round cove]

Then it goes to like this.translation("KEYHERE");

[wheat mesa]

Most people that would use your package likely already have i18n built in

And therefore likely adhere to the standards

[sharp geyser]

waffle I am doing this for dumb djs devs

do you think they care about standards

[round cove]

Yes

[wheat mesa]

Yes but not all djs devs are dumb

[earnest phoenix]

is there a way to increase the size of the iframe tag?
https://top.gg/bot/895136993732878376

[round cove]

No

[sharp geyser]

Waffle you really want me to cry more don't ya

[wheat mesa]

No I’m just trying to help you

[earnest phoenix]

|| some dont even want to learn js||

[sharp geyser]

okay fuck dot prop then

[wheat mesa]

Make it how you want to make it, just be aware of standards

[sharp geyser]

I at least know how to bypass dynamic imports transpiling to require now

so I learned something

[wheat mesa]

Lol

Even bigger brain, make your own import function that just does that but in a function so you don’t have to see the jankiness

[sharp geyser]

so it is like this

{
  "KEY:NAME": "VALUE"
}

?

[round cove]

Right

It's just json

[earnest phoenix]

yea? isnt that basic json?

[sharp geyser]

Okay and with this you'd this.translate("KEY:NAME")?

[sharp geyser]

I am talking about how i18n standard is

I know it is just json

[round cove]

Right, and presumably you have a command that handles changing languages and loading the correct JSON file for each language so that it can key the right one

[earnest phoenix]

ok bye bye

[round cove]

bye person

[sharp geyser]

I was planning just loading all of their json files into a map with the key being the locale

[round cove]

that sounds good.

Might get bad if you have a LOT of keys.

and lots of languages

[sharp geyser]

How many languages will a bot really support tho

[round cove]

True

[sharp geyser]

I doubt some mf going to support all the languages in the world

[wheat mesa]

There’s not really a good solution for that issue

[sharp geyser]

maps are fast as it is

and idc about the data

let them worry about that

[wheat mesa]

Loading it into memory once is pretty much the best solution, if you’re supporting that much i18n then you’ve probably got a good enough vps to handle the damage

[round cove]

Yeah loading it into a map once is fine.

Like misty's current solution

[quartz kindle]

you're fine with maps as long as you have less than 8 million keys

[wheat mesa]

Lol

[round cove]

[sharp geyser]

Should I handle place holders e.g "WELCOME:MAIN_MESSAGE": "Welcome to %s"

or smth

[wheat mesa]

Why

[round cove]

You could

That's something totally different tho

lmao

[sharp geyser]

Well yea

I was wondering if I should add that in

there is no real reason to ig

[wheat mesa]

You could but that seems like it would be up to the developer to do that

[sharp geyser]

mmm true

[wheat mesa]

Plus js already has string interpolation

[sharp geyser]

I was going to hand hold em

[wanton pawn]

😻

[round cove]

export interface ITranslatedText {
  [k: string]: string;
}

function translate(key: string): string {
  const myKeydPhrases: ITranslatedText = this.supportedLanguagesMap.get(someGuildConfig.locale);
  const myPhrase = myKeydPhrases[key];
  return myPhrase;
}``` Excuse my crude code example, but this should be fine

[sharp geyser]

    public t<T>(key: string): T | string {
        const contents = this.locales.get(this.options.lng);

        return contents[key] ?? 'Nothing was found there.'
    }

literally all I did

[round cove]

yeah

Why T

[sharp geyser]

this was for something before

I was going to let them set the type of the returned data

[round cove]

Makes sense.

[sharp geyser]

but now it doesn't matter ig

cause it becomes useless if you use it with just js

[round cove]

;p

[sharp geyser]

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

  await locale.addMultipleIn("locales");

  console.log(locale.t("WELCOME:MAIN_MESSAG"));
})();

intentional misspelling of the localization key

but it works

😎

[round cove]

hella

good job

[sharp geyser]

@wheat mesa and here now you don't have to await

[wheat mesa]

see

look at how much easier it is this way

[sharp geyser]

I wonder if people will have issues setting the lng though

[wheat mesa]

standards

[sharp geyser]

well ig not

[round cove]

Discord dropdown menu with limited options

So no

[wheat mesa]

why do you need to set the lang in the constructor if you're adding all of the localization files in it already

[sharp geyser]

cause that is what is used to query the map

[wheat mesa]

but... why are you using addMultipleIn then

[sharp geyser]

cause that reads all the data in their localization files and adds them to the map with the file name being the key of the map

[round cove]

Did Discord say a while back they're going to support language locale for slash commands?

[wheat mesa]

Again, the problem being that you'll have to do this with many localization objects, no?

[sharp geyser]

for the name and descriptions of options/choices yes

Wdym

Not sure I follow what you are saying waffle

[wheat mesa]

Say I have localization for english and spanish, how would I access both of them

[round cove]

what

[sharp geyser]

lng is the fall back language waffle

one that you'd use as default

t takes in 2 params locale being a optional one

[wheat mesa]

Ah, okay

[sharp geyser]

so you can do t('sp', 'key')

idk the locale key for spanish

I think it is es

[wheat mesa]

es

[sharp geyser]

[wheat mesa]

So then how are you setting the keys for each of the maps containing the localization

[sharp geyser]

    public t(key: string, locale?: string): any {
        const contents = this.locales.get(locale ?? this.options.lng);

        return contents[key] ?? 'Nothing was found there.'
    }

so the t function looks like this

[wheat mesa]

How do you know which one is en, es, etc

[sharp geyser]

the key are the locales file name

so if you named your files like en.json, es.json

then en would be the key for english es would be the keys for spanish

[wheat mesa]

Also, I'd throw an error if you can't find the localization text

[sharp geyser]

Mmm alright

[wheat mesa]

Since you wouldn't want it returning "Nothing was found there." because that could end up with bad results

Say someone mistypes a key and they don't realize there's something wrong until people start complaining about prod saying "Nothing was found there."

[round cove]

I thought Misty said this was for their bot

[wheat mesa]

he's making a localization package

[round cove]

ah okay

[wheat mesa]

targeted towards discord

(I think)

[round cove]

not sure what the targeting part is, since it's just reading a file and translating

[sharp geyser]

C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\price-check>node main.js
Error: WELCOME:MAIN_MESSAG does not exist in your en's file
    at Localization.t (C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\locale\out\struct\Localization.js:15:37)
    at C:\Users\dyeaa\Documents\github\misty\price-check\main.js:7:22

so like this?

[round cove]

i18n just returns the key itself if it's not found

[wheat mesa]

I'd maybe make your own error class

[sharp geyser]

yea I was thinking that as well

[wheat mesa]

That's the standard?

[round cove]

Return the key and that tells the end user that it needs to be translated or needs to be fixed.

[round cove]

apparently so 😎

[sharp geyser]

well it is going to hopefully be integrated into a friend of mines framework

to allow easy localization

[wheat mesa]

If that's the standard then I guess go for it, that just seems like an error to me

[round cove]

why crash the program if it can be added later

what if a dev is working on a portion of code and has to wait a day for their translators to get back to them

[wheat mesa]

Fair

Perhaps have a warnings option in your localization object options, and then log warnings when you can't get a localization for a certain language

So that users are still aware, but can turn it off if it's intentional

[round cove]

I feel if you're making a package for others to incorporate into their projects you should NOT be console logging as that area is for the user to do their own outputs.

[sharp geyser]

WELCOME:MAIN_MESSAG was not found. Check your spelling/make sure you are looking in the right localization.
Hola

also checked making sure that getting from multiple localizations worked

so I can fetch from spanish localizations

[wheat mesa]

How else would you alert users without throwing an error?

[sharp geyser]

throwing an error is indeed not a good way

[round cove]

Again that's why you return the KEY back up. That's pretty noticeable when it's a VISUAL thing

[sharp geyser]

you don't wanna stop the program

[wheat mesa]

I'm in the school of thought that it should be very explicit in what's wrong

[round cove]

If I see this on my site or in discord

Then I know I messed up MY own translation file

And I can easily fix

[wheat mesa]

up to you misty ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[round cove]

^^^^^ TRUE

[wheat mesa]

if people don't like warnings, you can remove it; if users want warnings, you can add it

just depends on how you want to design it

[round cove]

be based misty

make it output random garbage

[sharp geyser]

I will make it output a java like error

[round cove]

[sharp geyser]

super unhelpful

Instead of what is wrong I will make it output the entire communist manifesto

[round cove]

do it

[fallen holly]

can i find a role by it's permission

[round cove]

I don't think so?

[sharp geyser]

I mean

you can filter all the roles in the guild by a specific permission

[round cove]

Lmao I guess

[sharp geyser]

but no telling you will get the exact role you want

[round cove]

doesn't help if multiple have

[sharp geyser]

it will likely end up giving you a collection of em if a lot of roles have that perm

[fallen holly]

im trying to make a log channel where everyone can't see it only admin can

[sharp geyser]

permission overwrites is a thing

[wheat mesa]

^

[fallen holly]

ik

but how do it allow the access for admin

[sharp geyser]

I don't remember exactly off the top of my head

but I know you can do something like

[fallen holly]

Then climb to the top of your head and think

[sharp geyser]

<Channel>.permissionOverwrites.set([
  {
    id: roleYouWantToAllow,
    allow: [PermissionsFlagsBit.ViewChannel, someOtherPermsIDK]
  },
  {
    id: guildID, // this allows you to target everyone in the guild
    deny: [PermissionsFlagsBit.ViewChannel, someOtherPermsIDK]
  }
])

[wheat mesa]

I found this cursed piece of shit from my detritus code: ```ts
export function createOverwritesAboveMinPermissionsSet(
minPermissions: bigint,
guild: Structures.Guild,
allowPermissions: bigint[],
denyPermissions: bigint[],
): RequestTypes.CreateChannelOverwrite[] {
const roles = guild.roles.filter(role => (role.permissions & minPermissions) == minPermissions);
const permOverwrites: Array<RequestTypes.CreateChannelOverwrite> = [];
for (const role of roles) {
permOverwrites.push({
allow: permissionsAsAny(allowPermissions),
deny: permissionsAsAny(denyPermissions),
type: OverwriteTypes.ROLE,
id: role.id,
});
}
return permOverwrites;
}

[sharp geyser]

What the fuck waffle

whyyy

[fallen holly]

deleted that

mods

[sharp geyser]

that is detritus shit

it won't be helpful here cause we can actually use arrays here waffle

[fallen holly]

            message.guild.channels.create(channelName,{
                type: 'text',
                permissionOverwrites:[
                    {
                        id: everyoneRole.id,
                        deny: ['VIEW_CHANNEL']
                    },
                    {
                        id: guildAdminROle //How do i find
                        allow: ['VIEW_CHANNEL']
                    },


                ]
            })

I have the same thing

[sharp geyser]

1 everyoneRole.id don't recommend

just use the guild's id

[fallen holly]

aight i will change that

[sharp geyser]

to find the role you want

you can filter through the guild's roles

<Guild>.roles.cache.find((r) => r.name === "SomeName")

which returns you the role object IF it exists if not you will have issues

[fallen holly]

ok thx

[sharp geyser]

@round cove https://github.com/Mistyerious/locale :^)

[fallen holly]

for the guild id is this ok

{
  id: message.guild.id,
  deny:[PermissionsFlagsBit.ViewChannel, someOtherPermsIDK]
},

[sharp geyser]

sure

but someOtherPermsIDK is not supposed to be there

[round cove]

Hell yeah dude

[fallen holly]

ik

[round cove]

cool shit unironically proud

[fallen holly]

i'm not dumb

[sharp geyser]

did you read the readme

[round cove]

I JUST saw it lmfao

[sharp geyser]

linked u and waffle

kek

[round cove]

i take it back fuck you dummy

(indentation)

readme's suck with tabs/spaces

[sharp geyser]

IT WAS NOT MY FAULT

[round cove]

I know 😔

[sharp geyser]

read me formatted it weird no matter how I tried to do it

[wheat mesa]

damn this shit sucks I don't wanna be in the readme

jk luv u misty

[sharp geyser]

😩

ty man

I don't know what more I could do to make this package better

I think rn it is good how it is

[sharp geyser]

Make a better read me and I will 100% use it 😉

def not pushing it off onto other people

[wheat mesa]

https://stackedit.io/ pro tip

[sharp geyser]

ah but I love making things harder on myself

[wheat mesa]

ok but peep the readme https://github.com/Jwaffled/MathExpressionParsing

[sharp geyser]

Hey waffle

do my read me /s

[wheat mesa]

I tryharded that readme

[sharp geyser]

@wheat mesa tf is this

it looked perfectly fine in the preview

😔

ok

3 commits just ot make the fucking readme look good

smh

[round cove]

Lmfao

[sharp wing]

back to djs after 8 months cuz old account got deleted lol
could someone please lmk what's wrong here? approved all intents and also has perms

[sharp geyser]

403 usually means missing access/permission

when you make the invite link for the bot make sure to click application.commands alongside the normal bot option

[wintry tendon]

does grabbing a guild's id trigger the discord API rate limit ?

[sharp geyser]

Well fetching from the API x times and in a matter of n amount of time can cause a rate limit yes

[sharp geyser]

Show your code and we can try and help to determine why you're being rate limited

[wintry tendon]

am not getting rate limited, i just wanna know if that is a possibility when a lot of people use the bot

[near stratus]

the limit probably gets higher if more guilds use the bot

[wintry tendon]

thats what i thought

[near stratus]

there's no way a bot with 100 guilds and 100000 guilds have the same limit

[wintry tendon]

that would be great but that isn't stated anywhere

[sharp geyser]

You can apply for it iirc unless they changed how they handle it

Best bet would be to email them about it and you'll get your answer another method of finding a possible answer is to ask in the dapi server

[near stratus]

that's gateway rate limit
See the http one

there isn't much to do with gateway except changing status

[wintry tendon]

i can't find http limits, ill have to look

[near stratus]

Anyway
You can always check the X-RateLimit-Limit header value
It'll show the global limit

it's different for every user

*client

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits

[wintry tendon]

thank you

[near stratus]

np

[sharp geyser]

That was a good read

I didn't read that before when making my lib kek

[near stratus]

you made a lib?

[sharp geyser]

I did yes

It isn't publicly out cause no one will use it

The repo's code is out dated

[near stratus]

discord's api is pain

I learned that when I tried some custom things with oauth

[sharp geyser]

I find it rather nice

I could 100% make a dashboard now for a bot

But I don't know css that well

So the only thing holding me back is design

[near stratus]

.......

You know css is 782% easier than making a lib

[somber ridge]

design is just pain

need to have a lot of patience

i'm stuck at a similar situation

[sharp geyser]

Nah

Css is by far the hardest thing to me

I find making a lib easier than css

[somber ridge]

try using a framework for CSS like tailwind maybe? makes the job a bit easier in my opinion

[near stratus]

I have chakra to carry me

[somber ridge]

that is if you know CSS to a decent level

[sharp geyser]

I use mantine and tailwind.

Though I kinda wanna swap back to using angular over react ngl

Issue with css is I don't have the patience to sit down and use it

I can sit down and work on something like a library for hours though

[near stratus]

That's why you use libs

For css

[sharp geyser]

Libs can't do everything for you

[near stratus]

At least most of the annoying things can be done

I have to write 300 lines of css instead of 3000

[sharp geyser]

I'ma probably just make a website without any css or component libs to begin with ngl

It'll force me to learn css

[wheat mesa]

Using mantine I barely needed custom css

Most of the things that I needed with css was just basic

[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

[sharp geyser]

Waffle why are you so busy all the time

😔

[wheat mesa]

Because I have many things to do

Busy week

[sharp geyser]

haven't you been playing pokemon all the time?

[wheat mesa]

No

[sharp geyser]

ah

[wheat mesa]

Spent the whole day cleaning today

[sharp geyser]

Dang

I am probably moving soon

so i gotta clean as well

kek

So coming from a design pov, should the Client have access to application properties

talking bout my discord lib here

[earnest phoenix]

The second file is the one I was trying to keep from being uploaded

Don't mind my rage comment haha

[sharp geyser]

I am wondering what that red is

probably not important

but hmmm lets see

So you added the gitignore, made it ignore the json file, ran git add . then ``git commit` and then pushed it right?

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

I've had to reset my bot token four times now because git seems to refuse to listen to .gitignore

[sharp geyser]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45400361/why-is-gitignore-not-ignoring-my-files try this maybe?

[earnest phoenix]

I'll check it out now

[rustic nova]

Just fyi

Since you mentioned you committed before

You'll need to remove the remote file, it would otherwise still get pushed

Aka the gitignored file on the remote end

[pallid zinc]

Tried to install react native and it gives this error anyone have any idea about this?

[sharp geyser]

I might be wrong but just from reading it, looks like your dependencies require a different version of react then what you are trying to install

[pallid zinc]

I didn't mentioned any version while downloading so i dont think it should be a problem

Infact its a on going project with package json file

And im just trying npm i

[sharp geyser]

npm i on its own?

[pallid zinc]

Yea

Wait

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/991565378796912691/993057612100812810/unknown.png

[sharp geyser]

Seems like the other packages that rely on react don't support react v18

Again I could be wrong cause I suck at reading npm errors but just from a first glance that looks like it is what it is saying

[pallid zinc]

Yup getting you

[sharp geyser]

python 5?

[fervent moss]

Does someone have experience with discord auth2 like what topgg has login with discord and then it shows guild i am unable to find my way in it

[near stratus]

you mean oauth2

[fervent moss]

Yeah

[near stratus]

what was your problem again?

"it shows guild i am unable to find my way in it" what?

[fervent moss]

Uhmm....that isn't problem that i wanna do like i mean where to start from making it

There are lot less clear tutorial available on yt

[quartz kindle]

you need a webserver

like a website or something

when people access your website, or a specific url in your website, you redirect them to discord's oauth2 url

discord's oauth2 has a callback system that redirects the user back to your website when they login

when the user is redirected back to your website, it will have extra stuff in the url, for example yourwebsite.com/url?code="39y9c82yn39c48y29384y9"

you have to read this code to access the user's information

[fervent moss]

Yeah ik that system like redirect url invite links

Oh and how you get code?

[quartz kindle]

the code will be there in your url

after the user is redirected

also there are two types of oauth2, explicit and implicit grant

the explicit type gives you a refresh token that you can use to keep the user's token valid

[fervent moss]

Oh

[quartz kindle]

the implicit type only gives you temporary access, after which the user has to login again if you want to keep accessing their data

[fervent moss]

Ic

[quartz kindle]

the implicit type is easier to use

both are described here

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

[fervent moss]

Ah looks so complicated to put onto a website tho i will try

[quartz kindle]

for example using the implicit grant

you redirect the user to https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=290926444748734499&state=15773059ghq9183habn&scope=identify

the user will be taken to the discord login page

once they login, they will be redirected back to your website, in the url you specify in your discord application's redirect uri

after they are redirected, you will receive a request to your website like this
https://yourwebsitehere.com/#access_token=RTfP0OK99U3kbRtHOoKLmJbOn45PjL&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=604800&scope=identify&state=15773059ghq9183habn

these extra things after the # character is what you use to access their data

[fervent moss]

By redirect you mean like putting redirect url in bot invite and user authorises it and then the url got has token in it from which i can acees user info right?

And there are two types one temporary and one permanent

[quartz kindle]

both are temporary but one can be refreshed every X time, the other cant

[fervent moss]

Oh

[quartz kindle]

just adding a redirect url in the bot invite is not enough

the redirect url in bot invites only work if the user logs in with discord first

first you need to go to your bot's application dashboard, and setup its oauth2 links

[near stratus]

This is from Spotify but the same works for discord

damn spotify's docs are better than tutorials

[wooden ember]

is there anyway to reload a voice connection on d.js?

[winged linden]

hey, got a question. how can i use axios to search for a specific parm in the api?

for example i wanna search for https:\/\/howrare.is\/unfrgtnorbit\/482 and i wanna get the ranking of that so Rank 1

[lyric mountain]

convert the response to json

[winged linden]

and then? how can i search?

[lyric mountain]

<json>.rank

you dont "search" a json, you access a property

[winged linden]

bruh but i want the find the rank

i have the link but not the rank, thats what i mean

[lyric mountain]

that still doesn't make sense

if u request the api ur getting a single json no?

or does it return more than one?

[winged linden]

1 json, but what i mean. in this json it shows the rank of specific ids. i got the ids and i wanna find the ranks using a command

ik its possible but i am doing smth wrong i guess

[wheat mesa]

.find

Convert to json, do jsonRes.find(x => x.rank === 69)

I assume it’s an array of objects

[winged linden]

will try

[idle coral]

My compile command won't work, I have the full, long, error in this txt file below.

[wheat mesa]

Just a fair warning if you didn’t already know, running code from unknown people will result in your VPS being absolutely fucked by everyone that can fuck it, especially with C++

Also, the error you have doesn’t make sense for the code you posted

[cinder patio]

I mean he's just compiling it

but like also just use an API which does this for you there are plenty

[wheat mesa]

He’s also running it

&& ./a.out

I could imagine somebody abuses this though and compiles so much garbage it just locks your CPU at 100%

I’d lock this command to only you and whitelisted people

Either that or use an API designed for this

[woeful pike]

you can do a ton of compile time fuckery too

[quartz kindle]

i still dont see a .get() anywhere, did you skip a line?

show more lines

[split hazel]

run the script with an api or a docker container with no network access and user account privileges with limited execution time and you should be good

[lyric mountain]

that's the least of the worries lmao

can't c++ directly access hardware?

u can literally brick the physical part no?

[split hazel]

programs run under a level called ring 3

at that level any program if it malfunctions or is malicious should not be able to harm the hardware or read any other programs data

worst case scenario it can delete or read some files at best

[green kestrel]

feeling really short mood wise today

one too many idiots over on my own Discord

like, "help me or I'll hurt myself" really isn't something I can deal with any way except ban...smh

[quartz kindle]

wtf

[green kestrel]

yeah ikr

[rose warren]

Smh

[green kestrel]

you ever get one of those days where the fail seems constant

I'm gonna have to be stricter with spoon feeding I think

like you are here

[split hazel]

spoonfeed but dont send them the exact code

make them complete it themselves

[sick agate]

i mean yeah

[sick agate]

uhm what

[lyric mountain]

good to know

[lyric mountain]

spoonfeed but with one or more obvious errors so they have to at least read and understand the code

[round cove]

What's webhook ratelimit again? 20messages every 5 seconds?

[fallen holly]

i want to give all this roles access to a channel i'm making how do i do that

[tulip ledge]

find the role by name so you have the roleobject

then give the role permission to view the channel

and deny the everyone role (guild id) permission to view the channel

[fallen holly]

this is how i'm pushing all the roles from the guild

    message.guild.roles.cache.forEach((roles)=>{
      
      if(roles.permissions.has('ADMINISTRATOR')){
        adminRoles.push(roles.name)
      }
     })

[tulip ledge]

what

that's not what I said

also why do 5 different roles have the admin perm?

and if a role has admin perm you don't have to give them permission to view a channel

all you have to do then is just deny the everyone role (guild id) the permission to view the channel

[fallen holly]

ok thx

[split hazel]

just found this is it older than you @quartz kindle

think they were a thing at around the 1970s

[quartz kindle]

probably yes

In 1963, the GE-235 featured an "Auxiliary Arithmetic Unit" for floating point and double-precision calculations.[5]

[split hazel]

does anyone know if according to the ABI if a functions stack frame is released does the function also release the parameters?

[solemn latch]

5/5

its 50/5 with all webhooks combined per ip

[split hazel]

bro can i just comaplin

my laptop is so shit

imagine having 4gb ram in 2022

its enough to run a single chrome tab on windows without thrashing

let alone visual studio code with wsl and heavy c++ compiler tools

[boreal iron]

imagine using chrome

[split hazel]

yeah you know what

ima get opera gx on it

its light on ram

[boreal iron]

LMFAO

opera as bad as ie

maybe even worse

[split hazel]

the performance increase of no thrashing will outweigh the performance decrease of operas performance

clang takes like 10 seconds to lint shit

20 sometimes

[split hazel]

bro just because something doesnt use v8 doesnt mean ITS TERRIBLE

opera needs to swallow its pride and use v8

dont know what the ram differences are between them tho

[green kestrel]

get a pi 4b with 8gb ram, put the compiler and Linux environment elsewhere

and change to a different more lightweight editor

[split hazel]

visual studio

that was a joke

cant be asked right now i'll just edit with notepad

[wooden ember]

is there anyway to "restart" voice on d.js? cuz my internet sux the connection drops and come back meaning that the bot can join the chat but not play anything

it fixes when the bot is restarted but i dont want to have to do that like everyother day

is there any way to fix that

or am i just screwed

[wheat mesa]

When you drop your connection to discord it’s likely you’ll get an unrecoverable error, or at least a bad state. When your bot disconnects from the gateway, it has to log in all over again

You need to find a solution to your internet, not a solution to reconnecting

If it happens often you’ll also likely hit your connection ratelimit if you’re automatically reconnecting somehow

[lament rock]

session resumes dont have a ratelimit other than the standard sending 120 gateway messages a minute

[wooden ember]

bruh

welp we might get fibre at some point depends

half of it is just my internet being adsl

and the other half is just our 10 year old router

[wheat mesa]

You probably shouldn’t be self hosting then

I’d say it’s probably more likely your computer is the issue with your connection dropping, some motherboards with built in wifi suck, and if you’re using a wifi card, sometimes those can break and cause issues like that

Personally I have had to replace my PCIE network card once so far

Had a similar issue where my ping would spike to 6000 and/or disconnect for a few seconds periodically

[wooden ember]

nah the router sometimes just reboots when im doing alot of stuff

also its ethernet

and the vc bot is just for my own server and doent affect my main bot so eh

[woeful pike]

what in gods name is that data structure

[lyric mountain]

it's CSON lmao

comma-separated object notation

tf is that url

[sharp geyser]

it is a working url that is what it is

[wintry tendon]

hello, am trying to add the slash commands to my bot.

do i just remove the guild=discord.Object(id=MY_GUILD_ID)
to make available for all the servers ?

because i tried it but it doesn't work 😄 am i missing something ?

[dry imp]

what lib?

[spark flint]

looks like dpy

[dry imp]

disgusting

[wintry tendon]

yea discord.py

[dry imp]

cant help you sorry, i use py-cord

[wintry tendon]

oh i see

[sharp geyser]

imagine using anything but dpy

smh

[wintry tendon]

by the way, discord.py is getting updated again, its not shutdown anymore

[dry imp]

d.py so ugly i rather go to hell first

yea i know

[sharp geyser]

bitch you're already here

tf you mean go to

[wintry tendon]

they are all the same xd

[dry imp]

you are in hell alone misty

[sharp geyser]

😔

ik

[dry imp]

those burning fire makes you hallucinate

[wintry tendon]

i tried to switch to js, but i had trouble reading and writing to files using fs, python is just easy and quick with fewer lines

mainly the same, but not everything is the same

[earnest phoenix]

Hey I have a question
So I was trying to deploy my website with vercel. I have got mongodb on the website and stored it in process.env file

I got this error

When the environment variable starts with mongodb+srv://

[wooden tusk]

How to get the total vote number ?

[sharp geyser]

I don't think you can

not from the vote webhook as far as I know

[boreal iron]

No he can’t

The webhook only includes data about the currently happening vote

[sharp geyser]

yea

[boreal iron]

The total number of votes should be possible to get sending a request to the api

[lyric mountain]

People try to use api for vote notifs and webhooks for vote total

[boreal iron]

And/or by listening to the webhooks continuously and storing/counting them

Which might not be accurate sometimes since some webhooks may not make it to your endpoint

For various reasons

[wheat mesa]

Request API on startup, keep count yourself after that. Maybe fetch from API every now and then (like 30 minutes or 2 hours or something like that) and correct your count

[earnest phoenix]

Uh anyone?

[wheat mesa]

Log your env variable, vercel might have their own way of injecting envs into your program

[earnest phoenix]

Oki

https://sourceb.in/0t9L61e9VM, How should I base on ms on database instead of cooldown in commands?
The cooldown is working fine

Issue: when the bot restarts, the ms ignored

[bright hornet]

all done

[fossil bronze]

is this using sequelize?

Looks like you were storing data objects (so in memory) holding the cd information?

[ancient nova]

I've gotten like 30 missing permissions errors in my console then this dropped and my bot died even the PM didn't bring it back

ERROR Uncaught Exception: Error: WebSocket was closed before the connection was established

the fucking problem is it doesn't tell me which script / package the errors are coming from

xd so I'm stuck with them

[fossil bronze]

Well what kind of error handling do you have set up?

[sharp geyser]

log the debug event djs provides

[fossil bronze]

Looks like maybe you have something like

process.on('unhandledRejection', (reason, promise) => {})

[sharp geyser]

That won't be very helpful here

The error is being caused by something internally with djs

the debug event logs nearly everything that happens in djs from the first hello, to identifying and so on so forth

[fossil bronze]

If you don't have a handler, it will normally show more information (traceback), at least it does for me

That's why I think they have a handler that doesn't log set up

[forest cosmos]

So how can one check for a Top.GG vote for a bot?

[whole knot]

Use the library/docs Top.gg has: https://docs.top.gg/

[forest cosmos]

thanks...

[whole knot]

What library are you using?

[forest cosmos]

Im actually still looking into whats avilable rn

maybe python?

https://pypi.org/project/topggpy/#:~:text=topggpy 1.4.,0&text=A simple API wrapper for Top.gg written in Python.

[whole knot]

@forest cosmos Python examples: https://docs.top.gg/libraries/python/

I think they’re well explained and with a little adaption you should be good to go

Whenever the vote event fires, store the timestamp of it and then compare it with the next vote that comes in from the user ID

[forest cosmos]

thanks

[ancient nova]

yeah..

[ancient nova]

I do, I've made a handler for almost everything including an error handler

which uses the unhandledRejection event

guys I wanna make a hangman game, but if I take the input from the chat anyone could play and it would really clog the chat the command is executed in

buttons won't work either

because I can't add buttons for the entire alphabet

:/

any ideas?

[pine nova]

just use filter for message collector?

only allow the author

to answer

[ancient nova]

yeah but I want the game to be played with multiple people

[pine nova]

[wheat mesa]

Then allow people to opt in

[pine nova]

ye

[ancient nova]

oh I see maybe like a 30 second thing with a join button

should I make it minimum 3 people?

[pine nova]

ur choice

[ancient nova]

well I have an idea of how it could look like potentially...

well I'll start coding ig

[pine nova]

[ancient nova]

thank

[pine nova]

man i cant find the motivation to design my portfolio on figma 😔

[ancient nova]

what's figma?

[pine nova]

website/mobile and things designing software like adobe xd

but a bit better imo

[ancient nova]

sounds pretty useful I usually don't plan much when doing projects

just go with the flow

[pine nova]

💀

lmao

i just started using it too

but i suck at frontend and designing so practicing

[ancient nova]

I'm decent at frontend but I have to have a set idea of what I'm doing otherwise I'll be stuck

cause I'm not very imaginative

[pine nova]

same

[ancient nova]

I can make a game with AAA graphics but no gameplay

[pine nova]

lmao

[ancient nova]

😭

[pine nova]

i really gotta practice frontend shit fr

backend developers ain't got any reputation fr

const challengeCheck = await msg2.awaitReactions({ filter, time: 30000, max: 5 });
``` any way I can execute some code each time someone reacts?

[pine nova]

reactionAdd event?

[ancient nova]

I want to update the text to update who joined the game

[ancient nova]

how does it work?

[pine nova]

idk never used it

[ancient nova]

oh wait I can't use a global event for a command

[pine nova]

but there was an event

[ancient nova]

it would suck to integrate it

[pine nova]

like when someone reacts it shows the member data

who reacted to what emoji

prolly

[ancient nova]

        challengeCheck.on('collect', ({emoji}) => {
            if (emoji.name === '👍') {

I have a whoJoined array

I want to push there IDs of people who joined the game

how do I fetch them?

    // If it went through let's now start our game.
    if (validation === true) {
        return message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${whoJoined.join(", ")}`);
    }
``` the end event doesn't work

the count doesn't show up when it's less than 5 members

message does delete, butreturn message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${whoJoined.join(", ")}`) doesn't send

any ideas?

so I'm making a collector to collect all the users who react and update the count on a previously sent message. The message sends and everyone can react to it and the count updates, but it doesn't end somehow when 5 people react, the message just deletes itself and the validation === "done" message doesn't send afterwards. It deletes itself even if there isn't enough people. I'm really confused. Any ideas?

    let whoJoined = [], joinedCount = 1;

    const validateUser = async function (message) {
        const msg2 = await message.channel.send(`Hey peeps!\n${message.member} started a game of Hangman.\nYou can react to the message to join!\n\nJoined ${joinedCount}/5`);

            if (collected.count > 5) {
                return msg2.edit("Not enough people joined the game. Cancelling the game.");
            } else {
                msg2.delete(); whoJoined = collected.users;
                return "done";
            }
        });
    }

    let validation = await validateUser(message);

    if (validation === "done") {
        return message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${whoJoined.join(", ")}`);
    }

[sharp geyser]

Well your logic in the if statement is off

Shouldn't it be count < 5

Your code is very hard to read on mobile

[woeful pike]

you return from the function you're passing to challengeCheck.on("end", f) not from validateCheck

this is like async programming 101, you might wanna read up on callbacks and promises

[ancient nova]

my bad

I can't really format it better

[ancient nova]

yeah I get it now

        // And create a end event when the timer finishes or the max of 5 people joined.
        const endFunc = function(canStartGame, joinedUsers) {
            if (canStartGame === true) {
                msg2.delete(); whoJoined = joinedUsers.users;
                return message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${whoJoined}`);
                
                // Define our hangman game.
                const Hangman = require('../games/hangman.js'); const hangman = new Hangman();
        
                // And start a new instance.
                hangman.newGame(message);
            } else {
                msg2.reactions.remove();
                return msg2.edit("Not enough people joined the game. Cancelling the game.");
            }
        }
        challengeCheck.on('end', (collected, reason) => {
            if (collected.size <= 3 || collected.size === 5) {
                endFunc(true, collected);
            } else {
                endFunc(false, collected);
            }
        });
``` anyone know why whoJoined is undefined?

it works now but whoJoined is undefined. it's set using joinedUsers.users which derives from the collected variable in the end event of challengeCheck

any ideas how to fix that?

[sharp geyser]

Could be joinedUsers.users is undefined

[ancient nova]

where are the users who reacted to the message stored?

the docs said it's collection.users

[woeful pike]

you're making this way more complicated than it has to be. Just return a promise

return new Promise(res => {
  challengeCheck.on("end", (collected) => {
    res(collected)
  })
})

and then await your async function normally

[ancient nova]

I'm confused, how will that get the users out either way?

[woeful pike]

it just resolves the collection the end even emits

[ancient nova]

how will that help me get the users out of the collection though?

[woeful pike]

you await the promise

[ancient nova]

what 😭

how does await collection get users out of it

I'm so confused even in the discord.js server they did that

how

do you get collection.users by awaiting collection?

how?

[woeful pike]

the reason why you can't do what you're trying to do is because the "end" event emits at an unpredictable time. Your function doesn't wait for that event. So you wrap it with a promise and only resolve it when it's done

const validateUser = async function(message) {
  const filter = (reaction, member) => "👍" === reaction.emoji.name && member.id != client.user.id;

  const challengeCheck = await msg2.createReactionCollector({
    filter,
    time: 30000,
    max: 5
  })

  challengeCheck.on('collect', ({ emoji }) => {
    // whatever
  });

  return new Promise(res => {
    challengeCheck.on('end', (collected) => {
      res(collected);
    });
  })
}

let collected = await validateUser(message);

if (collected.count > 5) {
  return msg2.edit("Not enough people joined the game. Cancelling the game.");
} else {
  msg2.delete();
  return message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${whoJoined.join(", ")}`);
}

validateUser doesn't resolve until challengeCheck ends

[ancient nova]

that makes a lot more sense now...

that's what I've had up until now

    const validateUser = async function (message) {
        const msg2 = await message.channel.send(`Hey peeps!\n${message.member} started a game of Hangman.\nYou can react to the message to join! (You have 30 seconds.)\n\nJoined ${joinedCount}/5`);
        msg2.react("👍");

        const filter = (reaction, member) => "👍" === reaction.emoji.name && member.id != client.user.id;

        const challengeCheck = await msg2.createReactionCollector({ filter, time: 30000, max: 5 })
        
        challengeCheck.on('collect', ({emoji}) => {
            if (emoji.name === '👍') {
                joinedCount++;
                msg2.edit(`Hey peeps!\n${message.member} started a game of Hangman.\nYou can react to the message to join! (You have 30 seconds.)\n\nJoined ${joinedCount}/5`);
            }
        });
        
        const endFunc = function(canStartGame, joinedUsers) {
            if (canStartGame === true) {
                msg2.delete(); 
                return message.channel.send(`The game would normally start but I haven't coded that part yet. ${joinedUsers}`);
                
                const Hangman = require('../games/hangman.js'); const hangman = new Hangman();
        
                hangman.newGame(message);
            } else {
                msg2.reactions.removeAll();

        challengeCheck.on('end', async (collected) => {
            const collectedUsers = await collected;
            if (collected.size >= 3 || collected.size === 5) {
                endFunc(true, collectedUsers);
            } else {
                endFunc(false, collectedUsers);
            }
        });
    }; await validateUser(message);

it actually worked

though it returns Object [map] as users

[sharp geyser]

Makes a lot more sense when the code is given to you

[ancient nova]

        return new Promise(res => {
            challengeCheck.on('end', async (collected) => {
                //const collectedUsers = await collected;
                if (collected.size <= 3 || collected.size === 5) {
                    endFunc(true, res(collected));
                } else {
                    endFunc(false, res(collected));
                }
            });
        });
``` so you can't do stuff like this? lol

[woeful pike]

I mean you can but this screams "I don't know how promises work"

creating random functions and passing around callbacks gets real painful

[median heart]

when i am viewing my server on gg it will not let anyone vote

says an error message #407

[lyric mountain]

407 is proxy error

[median heart]

ok

whats that mean

?

[lyric mountain]

how many people did you check whether they can vote?

[median heart]

sorry 403

[lyric mountain]

well that makes more sense

is your server really added?

[median heart]

what

'?

[lyric mountain]

like, did you add the server?

[median heart]

yes

lol

its added

[fossil bronze]

The most basic and easy way imo is to call a function once it's done

[median heart]

just trying to vote

and i get that message

[lyric mountain]

is it this one?

if so, tell them to clear cache

on chrome/edge it's ctrl + F5

[fossil bronze]

I'm waiting for someone to need help

Why is there not someone looking for help??

[woeful pike]

join a programming server :p

[earnest phoenix]

^

[fossil bronze]

Do you have any good ones?

Also I only want to help with discord bots and not web dev

[earnest phoenix]

they aren't programming web only

also if you want to help people from programming, go to stackoverflow 👹

[split hazel]

stack overflow ogs when you ask for help

"k but you didnt format your question properly"

[fossil bronze]

Stackoverflow needs an account and I dont wanna make one

[split hazel]

discord needs one too

[lament rock]

maybe people are just getting too smart

I know that's false though because I still see a lot of bad code

[boreal iron]

Tbh the general intelligence seems to be falling further with each generation

Especially logical thinking and common sense

[eager vapor]

Who play Minecraft

[raw nest]

How do I create something like create-xyz-app and then it installs a couple of stuff I've choosen?

[midnight marsh]

I was

[eager vapor]

Do you know a person with a sever

[harsh nova]

This is a channel for discussion about development, #general would be more fitting for that

[eager vapor]

It's development on my social skills

🤣

How do you take so long type

[spark flint]

code

[harsh nova]

Old phone and working atm

[eager vapor]

I see

Your not dumb

[harsh nova]

But this channel is about other types of development in the likes of programming. General discussion happens in #general or #general-int

[eager vapor]

Your smart in your own way

[eager vapor]

Ok

[harsh nova]

I’ll put that in my cv

[eager vapor]

What that

Cv

[fossil bronze]

curriculum vitae or something like that

[eager vapor]

The heck

[fossil bronze]

its the list of your education and work

[eager vapor]

Idk what that is

Oh i see

Cool

[fossil bronze]

lets talk about development

[eager vapor]

Well I'ma go now

Cya

[harsh nova]

A document you send in when looking for work. Hpwever, this is not the place to discuss that

[fossil bronze]

ping me if you need help making your discord bot (and you are kinda new at it)

[eager vapor]

Me

I am the one who made carl

[midnight marsh]

Wow I believed

[eager vapor]

I know right

[slender wagon]

how do i remove a percentage from a number in js

i tried using the number and then - 10%

it's returning NaN

[wintry tendon]

anyone has any knowledge on how to get roles from the person who used a slash command with discord.py ??

[lyric mountain]

<string>.replace("%", "")?

or do u mean subtract a percentage?

@slender wagon forgot to ping

if u meant the latter, that's basic calculus, not really a language-specific problem (I doubt ANY language will have n - 10% as a valid operation)

[earnest phoenix]

looks like subtracting a percentage

[lyric mountain]

n - n * 0.1 (10%)

[earnest phoenix]

which you would have to convert that percentage to a decimal and do that way

or that

[lyric mountain]

or n * 0.9 (90%)

[earnest phoenix]

same diff

[lyric mountain]

no need to convert anything, 1 is always equivalent to 100%, just think with 2 less zeroes

[fallen holly]

is there a way to check if a channel exists

[craggy pine]

Assuming the code is correct, it would find bots for just the one guild its ran in. But try it and see what happens

[lyric mountain]

do note, that "might" crash your bot if ran in a big enough server

I would do a progressive scan

like, fetch 100 users per pass

split the member count into chunks of N users, fetch those, count, repeat until you finish all chunks

about the exact implementation, I have no idea

fetching all members at once might cause a temporary spike in ram usage, and if your server isn't strong enough it'll go OOM and crash

[slender wagon]

🥴 shit i don't do maths

[slender wagon]

0.1 stands for the percentage?

[lyric mountain]

yes

you could use 10/100 if u must, (% is actually 2 numbers separated by /, the circles represent their positions)

like 2⁄3

[slender wagon]

 let sellerReward = price * 0.35 

this worked just fine

0.35 is the fee btw

[lyric mountain]

high af fee

[slender wagon]

testing purposes

💀

[fossil bronze]

let bots = 0
let members = guild.members.fetch()

for (let i = 0; i < members .length; i++) {
if (members[i].bot) bots++
}

höhö

[lyric mountain]

that's what he did but worse

[slender wagon]

gonna work on it a lil bit and make it so the higher the price the lower the fee

[fossil bronze]

Most basic implementation

[lyric mountain]

for that you'll need rule of 3

[fossil bronze]

loop >>> array function imo so

[lyric mountain]

value  |  percentage
-------|------------
A      |  100%
B      |  X

A being the maximum value, B being the desired value

X = B * 100 / A

[fossil bronze]

You'll probably want to round the number after multiplying by 0.35

[lyric mountain]

it is, but you're not only holding the array reference in memory until that scope ends, but also retrieving its size on each iteration

[fossil bronze]

let sellerReward = Math.round(price * 0.35 )

[slender wagon]

right

thanks

[slender wagon]

ye gotta set a maximum before the fee goes to 0

[lyric mountain]

just Math.max the value

since the value and the fee are inversely proportional, you reverse the value side

X = A * 100 / B

u can remove * 100 if u want to get a 0..1 range

(not necessarily clamped to 0 or 1)

[wheat mesa]

65% fee!

[slender wagon]

lmao

[fallen holly]

is there a way to make category then make channels inside it

[boreal iron]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/CategoryChannel?scrollTo=createChannel

Creating the category will return a promise (your category channel) which you can use to create more channels inside

[raw nest]

How do I create something like create-xyz-app and then it installs a couple of stuff I've choosen it to install?

[lyric mountain]

what

well, if u mean running that on cmdline, you need to write a console application and add it to PATH (or equivalent)

now, if u mean ./create-xyz-app, you just need to write a script

[raw nest]

yes like create-react-app and then it installs something. How do I build that? Any docs/articles for me?

[lyric mountain]

sometimes I wonder why people don't start with console applications anymore

just pick your favourite language and hit build

the code itself needs to be written by you

it literally like making a discord bot, except you'll be working locally instead of discord

[raw nest]

what you mean? 😅

[lyric mountain]

when you're starting to learn a language, you usually (or used to) start with console applications

hello world, who am I, calculator, snake, etc

before you even think about doing UI or using external APIs

[raw nest]

yeah kinda true

[boreal iron]

who am I
calculator

[lyric mountain]

for example, you build

console.log("Hello world")

into test.js

then node test.js
it'll print Hello world

[raw nest]

well that's Python but aight xD

[wheat mesa]

What

[raw nest]

console.log("Hello world") :)

[lyric mountain]

then u go more intricate, with conditionals, functions, classes, etc

[wheat mesa]

import static System.out; and then out.println("Hello world"); 😉

[lyric mountain]

a calculator is the perfect project to start, since it involves all of them

when u finish, just build it into and executable (or whatever u use to run a js file from PATH) and run it

u can also just run the script directly by setting an alias

[raw nest]

well is there a way I get it to run with npx create-aqua-app ?

[lyric mountain]

idk what npx is, but the concept is the same for all languages

build something executable and tell the machine where to find it

[raw nest]

nvm I got it^^ thanks

[lyric mountain]

unless u need a complex builder, just write a bash script

they're not that hard and work perfectly as buildscripts

[raw nest]

true but I want to learn a bit more about it and try some stuff like options and checking etc. ^^

[boreal iron]

Well nowadays powershell tbh

I moved to, too

[lyric mountain]

powershell can go to hell

[boreal iron]

[raw nest]

even tho bash is also nice especially for beginners

[lyric mountain]

it's nice for all skill ranges

[raw nest]

yeah no questioning but for beginners to also learn the really basics and terminal stuff

[lyric mountain]

ah yes

[raw nest]

but yeah also for advances bash scripts can be very fun and also a challenge if you build a complex one

[lyric mountain]

I always make at least one for all my projects that are going to run in a vps

to set envvars, update from git, check files, clear logs, etc

[raw nest]

also nice and pretty helpful

[boreal iron]

Who knows maybe he aims to build stuff on Windows

[sick agate]

you can run bash stuff in Windows

with little bit cygwin stuff

[boreal iron]

That’s what a Linux subsystem is for

As it’s part of windows nowadays anyways

[sick agate]

well yeah but it's not that native as i know

[boreal iron]

Hmm just needs to be activated in the windows features

Shouldn’t even require an internet connection iirc

[split hazel]

anything to do with binary compilation and programming on windows that isnt made by microsoft themselves is hell

[lyric mountain]

even things made by microsoft themselves is hell

look at windows search feature

[split hazel]

bro my os is so fat the editor linting takes ages

think thats a good sign

[wheat mesa]

@earnest phoenix do you happen to know what the approximate size of a js number type is in v8? I know there’s object overhead and such, but not sure of the actual size

[split hazel]

too fucking big

this is why discord js's caching tactics are not best suited for javascript 💀

for c++ probably as proven by brain

caching everything yet the memory footprint is tiny

@green kestrel bet that makes you happy

[earnest phoenix]

In the internal side it's about 30 bytes or so, the main reason being that it's all mainly classes with internal slots and such

[wheat mesa]

Jesus

[earnest phoenix]

But after some considerable optimization (on the fly of course), it usually settles on 8 bytes or less depending on the size of the number itself

Although the optimizations barely apply in some edge cases that usually never happen, or happen way less

[green kestrel]

[wheat mesa]

Oh alright

[green kestrel]

30 bytes for a damn 8 byte 64 bit value

I laughed

it'll be a string

[earnest phoenix]

You can't really expect much from an interpreted language, it's even bigger in Python's internal side

[green kestrel]

because even bigint stores stuff as a string

[wheat mesa]

v8 is a fucking powerhouse to be fair

[green kestrel]

lol

less powerhouse more dead horse

[wheat mesa]

The language wasn’t even meant to be as performant as v8 has made it

Pretty incredible how fast it’s become

[green kestrel]

it was never meant to be for backend work, node is a crutch

[wheat mesa]

I think it’s a great backend language if you don’t need incredible speed

[green kestrel]

at scale you often do need incredible speed

[wheat mesa]

My uncle used to work in the industry in the 90s-2000s, he said that they would write their apps and such in Java, and anything that needed to be fast they would just write in C

[green kestrel]

yeah java is still more efficient than js

[wheat mesa]

Not back then

[green kestrel]

java at least stores native types in a sane format in ram

[wheat mesa]

(Compared to v8 now)

[green kestrel]

java has never used 30 bytes to store a 64 bit int

not even close

[wheat mesa]

There’s big differences between the languages

[green kestrel]

sure, javas garbage collector was more garbage than collector back then ...

[wheat mesa]

I’m sure that v8 now was way faster than the JVM then

[green kestrel]

but it was still pretty efficient at storage, it needed to map 1:1 with native types for jni

just the collector never freed stuff

[earnest phoenix]

Well when I said 30 bytes that's just an approximate, I haven't even checked the size in a while as they change often, but looking at it now, it would probably be around 15 bytes or less now

While even optimized to be way lower on the fly

[green kestrel]

it has to be the length of the value as a string plus \0 terminator or length count

so 18 is reasonable minimum

[wheat mesa]

I’m sure it’s a complex system of optimizations

[green kestrel]

nope

you can see the source

there are optimisations on calculations done with it, and assignments

[wheat mesa]

At runtime

[green kestrel]

V8 is designed to run fast not take small amount of ram
