i thought college wasnt worth it
thats what aikar or @vernal moth told me
if u learn young then u dont need college
thats what they tell u but both of them have degrees afaik
at the end of the day employers do look at degrees... unless u have an impressive portfolio of personal projects to show off
If you love coding or something, and you dedicate a part of your life to it you might be good
But colleges look good on any application
my current goal is to release some good plugins and hope my spigotmc rating impresses an employer someday
You just need to get an employer who runs an mc server and uses your plugins lol
but like i said if u can get a degree (and not put urself into debt for 10+ years) then definitely do that
You just need to get an employer who runs an mc server and uses your plugins lol
@next wind LOL
oh that was another question i shuld be asking
how do ppl fk themselves up so bad that in life they are in debt in 30s/40s
get credit cards without proper financial education and then max them out
it really is not hard
- expensive degrees
- out of state college/uni
go to community college in ur state, cheap af
right out of HS I buried myself in 12k of cc debt
clawed my way out and now im gonna do it again except student loan
why
take a financial independence workshop/class will be my recommendation
learn how those card offers sound really juicy and then are not juicy at all

oh so how a credit card works is you don’t have money
lol i got a bank account at 17... bank gave me a free cc along with it LOL
banks = not your friend
uh, no, you have a credit line
it's not your money, it's a promise of your reliability
they will lend you your purchase amount, and they want it back. if they don't get it back they will tack on interest until they get it back
that's how i spent 8k and earned 4k of interest, having to pay back 12k total on 8k of merchandise
how long do you have to pay it back
until it's paid back
i mean read your terms, when you apply you can see the interest rate you'll get
how long do you have to pay it back
@spiral sparrow ur whole life... but the longer it takes the more u owe them in interest
if you follow the rules, they're great
the rules of a credit card: charge it, wait until its on your statement, pay the whole thing off
@potent fossil i also ended up paying like half in interest LOL
uh oh, using a deprecated method
don't carry the balance, cause then they tack on interest
what age do you have to be to get a credit card
how are you 17 with a card @dim shadow
@dim shadow you probably got a debit card not credit
You can get a parent to cosign a credit card when you're 16
unless youre not american
depending on the bank
no i got both, on the same day LOL
oh yeah that too
That means if you fuck up, your parent's credit is on the line
bank of america... lived in georgia back then if that helps any
"co sign"
Oh yeah that thing
don't fuck up on a cosigned credit allowance ^^ its rude
dw, parents should prevent that
then wait till ur 18
how old are u huck? i guess it depends on state
13
its a good idea for a parent to cosign so you can get a headstart on your credit cuz you have a credit score of 0 before you get your first one
yeah he's literally in 8th grade worried about his degree and forever job
i told him to chill
yeah ur not gonna get no cc at 13

@mighty storm
don't fuck up on a cosigned credit allowance ^^ its rude
@potent fossil i co-signed for my bestie because my credit is impeccable and his credit non existent

@mighty storm that won't work outside of the development environment

since your source files won't exist
I got him 3% interest with my credit
i mean
what is your default credit when you finally get a card
i clone the repo when i run it, then compile @zealous wedge
I will do an Aikar one lol
On a car loan
you start with 0 huck
what is your default credit when you finally get a card
@spiral sparrow mine started out at like $1.7k
that's why you have to get a credit card from a place that doesnt check your credit score, cause you will never get one from a bank to start off
is it ok to take a car from your parents
again, cosign
that is still super brittle chew 😦
Default for me was 1000
I thought he meant credit score
my dad said when i get my permit i can have the 2020 car he has
Then they raised it to 2700 without me asking
listen z0w0 there's brittle and there's 100 imports
but if i don’t get mine own do i not@build credit
is it ok to take a car from your parents
@spiral sparrow if he said u can then sure, its his car
there are alternatives chew :/
what about car loans
you can't build credit unless you have a bureau reporting account, indeed
like service loader, classpath scanning, all that
o like what
car loans report yes but you can't get one without a credit score
guava i think has a thing, there's reflections
ok pls pr 
you have to build your credit first
no, fuck loans... cc's are bad enough, loans are worse
I’m almost at 800 on FICO
loans and cc are fine if you play the game correctly
i meant
do NOT loan unless you absolutely have to
cc & loans should be for emergencies only imo
open a card... lol
buyng other things?? tf
not buying shit u "want"
why would you turn down a car just to "build credit"
Secured card is easy first step
if you dont want the car gimme it then lmao
i thought if you had a lot of good credit
if you use CC's correctly, you can do your daily purchases on it and safe your hard cash, then pay it off at your billing cycle
you make more money
nono
my first credit card had i think a $1k limit?
ive apparently got a credit score of 604/1000
with no credit history
not bad for a student
so why is credit important
yours goes to 1000?
yes
how old were you zml
im at like 630ish/750ish
when you got the $1k card
ok, once again, people, we are advising a 13 year old on credit; yesterday we advised him on degrees and job choice.
8th grade
what's fun here is credit checks are free but actually getting a score costs money
Credit is useful to not get fucked on a big loan ( like a car )
true
so why is credit important
@spiral sparrow every time u have credit AND pay it back on time, ur credit score goes up, and the higher it is the more money ppl are willing to lend u
ohh ok
13 I think

credit score = how likely u are to pay shit back
so if u have a 1k credit card then you mac it and pay it all off and ur credit score is increased
ngl i wish i had learnt abt economics at 13
u can get a 5k card?
no
im here now with no idea how money works
it's based on your income
maybe not a jump from $1k to $5k but yeah gradually
not base on how fast you can pay it off
There’s stupid factors that go into something like a FICO score
oh ok
my card is like $300 limit lmfao
Revolving utilization, age of credit, any missed payments etc
it's cause my score was 0 when i opened lmao
your score is based on your history (how much you didnt fuck up before) and your income (whatever you decleared to bank), and many other stuffs
Turn 18:
- go to department store, apply for store credit card, get card, use it for some purchases, pay it off on time
- after like a year your credit score will be quite high assuming no lateness
- apply for other cards
- do the same, paying them off ON TIME ALL THE TIME
- credit score raises higher
- keep them open and use them, older accounts raise your credit score
- more accounts (rather than less) raise your credit score
- add up all available credit, never use more than 30% of it bc then score goes down
i think im going to be going on a road trip with my dad tomorrow and im gonna ask him if we can open a credit for me in 3 years so i can build credit already
"good" score takes years, decades even
my card is like $300 limit lmfao
@mighty storm mine bumped up to 2700 without me even asking them to felt kind of shady like it might trick people into spending too much
my dad is like 820/850 or so
Don't open a credit card at 13
Damn that’s near perfect
my dad had bad credit for a long time
No reason too
you cant open a credit card at 13
then its good now
yeah, he always pays back on time
I’m hoping to hit 800+ soon
no i mean in 3 years
you cant open a credit card at 13
@mighty storm there are ways
SecondLife really is an insane game, should see what some people make in it: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/2150
Stop advertising 😠
If you fuck credit up it’s like 7 years of tainted score
how did you get a debit at 13
by asking the bank?
and what is the difference between debt and credit
Debits are easy to get
went to my bank and got one
getting a debit card is simple
Just ask your parent
debit is just a frontend for your bank
you just ask
i had a (child) account at 13
oh so debts are where if you don’t have money the card declines
yes
credit = money that u put into ur bank
debit = money ur borrowing from bank
and thats what you pay
wait no
debit card is money straight out of your account
other way around LOL
ok so if im 16
Debit card = spending YOUR money
Credit card = Spending bank's money, promising you'll pay it back
and have no job
Credit is mostly useful for a select few things as an adult
and apply for a card will i get one
yes
just with a low limit
idk about ur bank rules @spiral sparrow but my bank required job
you need parent's co-sign, then yes
i have no bank
as long as it is debit you apply for
since parents take the blow
if you apply for credit, no
ok so if i’m 16
so usually they say no
oh ok
not at 16 without a stable job, no, not by yourself
you aren't 16 tho.. so just wait a few years to worry abt this lmao
id idnt worry about credit cards until ~3 months before i turned 18
and even now i still dont caare
I'm 24 and still don't have a credit card
i only got a cc because my bank gave it to me free when i opened a bank account ;-;
at 13
sure, huck
i didnt even walk in there wanting a dam cc
For a debit yes
i only have mine to "build credit" yet i rarely spend any of my money. usually it's online and there I just use privacy debit cards
but a bank is under no obligation to provide it
at 13? not for credit
that's for your parent to decide
Don't worry about credit cards
see your child
Debit card = spending YOUR money
Credit card = Spending bank's money, promising you'll pay it back
@mighty storm over here, debit is also spending the banks money (you go negative), but only possible up to N kr, depending on the bank (5k for my current one I believe)
Some card issuers require that the authorized cardholder be at least 13 or 15 years old while others have no age limitations
i guess it depends
i will talk to him about it tomorrow
@minor badge in the sense of, buying something with your debit makes your actual balance go zoop, but credit is the "Loan" balance go zoop, at least for my bank
so wait
if i get a credit card but the thing is
if my parents co sign
that means their credit is mest up if i mes up
does my credit get affected if i dont mes up
well yeah, positively
ic what you mean then, yea
or is it building theirs
I'm 24 and still don't have a credit card
@cosmic raft get a secured card, credit score can help drastically reduce the total cost of an auto loan and other things
actually a good question, anyone know?
if your 24 and don’t have a credit card that means your doing well finacially right
no(t really)
should i have a credit card just to tuck it away and never use it? like would it build me credit in any way lol
just means you dont need one
and didnt need loans
you dont need a credit card to get a loan ( i dont think? )
You can get loans without a credit card I think
see when i said stop thinking @spiral sparrow ? ur literally thinking 3-4 years ahead right now
You will want credit score to be good for when you need a loan on something like a car
ur thinking too damn much go make a utube video
5+ actually, Leo
should i have a credit card just to tuck it away and never use it? like would it build me credit in any way lol
@minor badge yes and yes
alright, thank u nossr 🥺

@spiral sparrow imma keep it real with you chief! worrying about the future is a great way to cause unnecessary stress on yourself. Live in the now, worry about today, not tomorrow. This is all stuff you have THREE YEARS to worry about.
College
idk exactly if i will be bothered tho, im not planning on being in this country this time next year
it's gonna fail if you keep worrying so much about stuff many years in the future
you'll be so worried about the future you'll fail to enjoy the present
wait @cosmic raft how do you do online things without a credit card
its not, ive made plenty mistakes and am doing fine as just turned 18 lol
lol u will make mistakes... mistakes are how u learn to be better... but u wont make any mistakes if u keep thinking and not doing
i cant enjoy the present when i cant go outside with out covering my entire face with a mask
or do you have one of those debit cards that isn't just interac
If your credit is poor it can nearly double the total cost of a car loan from compounding interest which makes the monthly payments higher
Mistakes are good for you
present ≠ going outside and doing stuff
Yeah being a tween during pandemic probably sucks lol
i cant enjoy the present when i cant go outside with out covering my entire face with a mask
@spiral sparrow u said ur into programming and utube tho... u can do those inside w/o mask xD
and yes, mistakes (and learning from others) is wayyy more valuable than just learning what others did

I love this emoji so much for some reason
I have a financially crippling gambling addiction
i did not
WTF
even if i dont maek it good on youtube @dim shadow i can probably do programming as a job
Don't worry bout it
im taeking a break from the python course for RN
woa
the one you started yesterday

even if i dont maek it good on youtube @dim shadow i can probably do programming as a job
@spiral sparrow tbh making a living off programming sounds much easier than hitting it big on utube... if u go to college
bro, im saying this literally one last time lol. stick with something or just stop. if you can't stick with something you're not going to make it
thats when you consult with people, ask questions and get answers
i can't stick with things
@spiral sparrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiW4yCT_220 no homo
I found this ad and just wanted to share it
i did
that's why i'm here
i had joined a programming discord and got called a retard by someone with a veteran role
smh adults
dont use that word please
sry
@potent fossil do kashike next
just be careful
He's quoting so it's all good
o u want @cosmic raft ?
yes pls!
i looked at the hint and it gave me https://www.math-only-math.com/what-is-simple-interest.html
i had joined a programming discord and got called a retard by someone with a veteran role
@spiral sparrow lol yeah programmers have a habit of not being the nicest to newcomers... just ignore them
Yeah hating on new people is so dumb
oh yeah they think they're so entitled, especially if they have a role
hell u dont even need discord LOL i learned programming 100% from google tutorials
They're the worst to hate on
instead i got noob shamed on forums but
i still dont get the equation, its like doing umm
yeah thats part of learning programming xD
turning 5 to 5%
then worknig out the 5% of amount
5% = 0.05
bruuuuuuuuh
"This is a simply math question. Don't over think it. What is ?% of 1000."
is the #1 hint

wait no 70
wait thats a question mark not a 7 jesus im drunk
yeah im going beddy nite yall ❤️ good nite

and btw, due to how tagalog is pronounced, in that you are not Kasheek, you're Ka-shi-kay

Which would make a better weapon, microwaves or x-rays
for quicker death microwaves, xrays will cause cancer
microwaves will just cook the target

Replying to @spiral sparrow from https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/289587909051416579/555469074080202765/756390699108139100
dont worry everyone does
I think x-rays are better for the fear factor. Best weapon is one you never have to fire
Doesn't help that a good amount of the MC dev community, mostly of the spigot/paper variety, doesn't know how to interact with those less skilled than themselves.
From my experience a lot of people expect everyone else to have a specific level of competency / etiquette and don't know how to react when that isn't reached
i mean there is a fine line between being new and trying and being new and not trying whatsoever
giving up when something gets slightly too difficult is the latter
i feel like i'm googling too much
@spiral sparrow one note of advice I'll pass on to you is that if you get discouraged, feel free to take a break
stay healthy and make sure to talk to people about the tough stuff
also if you don't feel that the jetbrains course is working for you, consider automate the boring stuff or a byte of python instead

Split, merge, watermark, and encrypt PDFs
that was part of my job at the bank, our program had the capability but it had to be custom programmed every time because the varying quality of pages and OCR couldn't fucking figure out where one document ended and the next began

very real problem huck please fix
simple do be putting folks out of a job
i had to scan the page for a barcode that could be in 1 of 8 places to signal document end, and then some of the documents were tilted because ppl can't scan correctly so those just never made it thru and I was blamed for not making an OCR process that was slick enough to handle that (the program had auto-rotating capability, but it still didn't work because the page was BLURRY
)
then fat smudges, coffee spills, and so forth :>
yes :(
and then karen is like "why cant you read this document its perfectly fine" and im staring at the barcode that signals document split and it has a gigantic smudge and dark spot in the center of it
and im like "what is this" and she goes "oh, i made that mark accidentally after a trip to the break room hehe"
and im like ??? ok well that's why i cant scan it, manual process sorry
and they're like "how dare you" "stupid IT"
i just want a job that will assure i have a six figure salary
wtf in what world is 6 figure minimum wage
almost any start up in silicon valley
i mean idk maybe more or less

your dad isn't a programmer maybe that's why (/s)
2real m8
i mean you can get a degree that leads to a job that makes six figures, or you can get a job you like and earn tenure and raises
keep in mind, your pay has a lot more to do with than just your degree. your job performance, time in company, attitude, etc all have an effect
oh so youre dead
minimum wage is not a living wage lmfao
dang rip chew
and nor should it
keep in mind, your pay has a lot more to do with than just your degree. your job performance, time in company, attitude, etc all have an effect
especially geographic location
and god i wish i wasnt living
but im glad u are @mighty storm
next time you say some dumb shit like that ill kick your ass

but im glad u are
Y
^
just another "well that sucks" then move on point
dunno
not rly
I haven't lost anyone too close to me yet to be able to tell you what I'd do in that kind of event
call me whatever the term is for it but like i aint sad after someone i knew died 2 years after they've passed
now i understand it's a lot different if it's someone closer
that has not happened to me yet, thankfully
accomplice, associate, friend
i mean, i dont dwell on stuff like that but i do continue to mourn in private when necessary. missing people randomly, even those you're not family with, happens
yeah i feel that even with people who didnt die
we've lost quite a few ppl in the mc community and while i didnt have personal relationships with them i still mourn their losses
some were like 16 or 17
too young
):
the guy who wrote the optimization guide is gone
i used to play on his server
he pissed me off a lot but i mourn him
frash23
wait wtf? thought he was still around
no, he died a while ago now
nah the optimization guide is being maintained by someone else
whaat
celeimbror or whatever his name is
the .optimize dude?
you mean craftimize?
celembrimbor is maintaining it but it was OG written by frash23
i couldve swore ive seen him online recently
that guy is still around
frash23 is gone
ohh
craftimize is a services company
thats why it says rip him on the guide
the optimization guide is a thread
who was he?

a systems admin
Is there any plugin that makes armor stands like in not ordinary shape
smart dude too
I had worked on him on a decent sized project like a year or two before that happened
he did a lot of guides and was generally very knowledgeable. he pissed me off a lot because of his attitude, but i miss him. he was a good guy
damn, didnt a mod dev pass recently too?
anyway my point was i mourn ppl i don't know and i dont find it weird
i hope you keep it that way 🙂
which is similar (not being able to talk to them) but a lot different (because you know they're not gone forever)
and don't be the dead person in other people's lives
why do you think i distance myself from relationships as much as possible
Sometimes it's just better to not have been alive in the first place
the more impact i have in people's lives the worse
i agree rigby but the damage has been done
yup
imagine what happens if you die and you make someone write a post in #announcements about you
not helping rigby
@zealous wedge its just hard to swallow pill
think of what a nice post aikar, or demon, or kashike will have to write about you talking about all the things you've done for the community
why you shouldn't die:
you wouldn't be able to do insert thing you love to do here ❎
mom would be sad ❎
someone would make a post in #announcements ✅
✅
✅
that's impactful
✅
I think you're just a noob
i've already reminded her that rory would be sad
mfw there's nothing i love doing anymore
everybody?
people not in the uk
everyone
you guys are all wrong i'm reporting you to discord for making me feel sad
listen ill say it again
get beaned
eek probably shouldnt say it here nvm
jokes on you beans are amazing
rory fans let's head out ill be depressed there instead
can i become a rory fan?
you dont can, you just are
did somebody say bean?
you're born a rory fan

if u learn young then u dont need college
@spiral sparrow a degree does make it certainly much easier, but it's no strong requirement
I can’t sleep
So like, if you are able to, going to college for CS stuff isn't a bad idea

So like, if you are able to, going to college for CS stuff isn't a bad idea
@vernal moth I’ve been hearing bootcamps have been having an influence in companies hiring more degreeless people
Eff the mobile autocorrect
Bootcamps?
What does that mean in this context?
Am assuming its still a short training where you get a paper at the end, right?
From my understanding a boot camp is about 1000~ hours of actual coding experience when you’re done with it which is equivalent or more than the typical bachelor in CS
two of my coworkers got jobs from bootcamps alone, but they werent degreeless. just didn't have IT degrees
There’s a lot of CS graduates who are really low in actual experience ( hours wise )
the only thing with a bootcamp is the organization hosting it better be reputable because they're the only ones who can confirm "yes, this certificate is valid" whereas a degree can be conferred by any college that the college who gives the degree is grouped with
for example california CSU, any of those can verify the credentials of a CSU-based degree
I guess it's kinda like germanies dual apprenticeship system
It’s my understanding boot camps used to be looked down on but now it’s becoming better perceived among employers
Just, not regulated, lol
they are well perceived, i cant say how well it works for degreeless folks but for those who have degrees but are not IT and they just wanna work in IT they work very well
There’s a lot of fluff in a Cs bachelors like general education credits, boot camps focus on what’s important
i mean really, degree is not be all end all (in the US)
if you can network well, you're in the door
they'll take your bootcamp
i got a job without a degree and made my way up to AVP simply thru being a Nice Guy (TM)
AVP?
What’s AVP
assistant vice president
not high by any means
but higher than the normal entry level
How big is your company?
Is it a software job?
Am a normal senior dev and I don't want to be anything else, lol
And it was "application manager", I was in charge for the west coast enterprise document system incl programming new workflows, but more ops
Reminder for DiscordBot: pleading face at michael

I know well paid devs (80k+ euro salary ) without degrees whose skill level would be considered low among the competent people here, there’s definitely opportunities out there for jobs without a piece of paper backing you
Networking
Could be that or it could be some people can’t come across as competent in an interview to save their life 
i mean yea
CS degree holders with no real experience can't be competitive against a degreeless extremely experienced programmer who has soft (people) skills
Them soft skills do be killer
if I end up having to try to get a job in the industry I’ll document my struggles, might interest someone since I got no degree and a 10 year gap in my resume where I was on disability income 
just emphasize skills more than job and education history
I have a feeling I’ll be okay, I have the skills and I’m good with people
and also, when not in pandemic mode, go to those "young professionals" events which are literally just a bunch of young ppl who meet up to add each other on linked in
lots of recruiters go to them
those events are fucking fantastic to getting interviews scheduled cuz you'll be talking to someone thinking they just looking for a job to and then they hit you with the "i like you, actually we're hiring are you interested coming in for an interview lets say tomorrow?" 
Also if I had to get a job I’d literally just spend all day using 100% of my energy on it so I’d be surprised if I got no offers after X months
A large part of looking like a good candidate is attitude and I come across as pretty confident in myself irl I just have to make it to the interview stage 
I mean I easily have over 10k hours in programming it shouldn’t be hard to appear competent
Do you know other skills like basic project management (agile)?
That'll wow them too, as then they don't have to teach you
I’m familiar with those things but I’ve never used them
like off the top of your head can you define: epic, feature, story, task, sprint
I’ve read thorough descriptions of agile work environments
if you can define those in your interview, chances of hire go Stonks
I’ll definitely look into stuff like that if I was on the job search
Learn all the things
agile is so used it's almost obnoxious
yeah
"hey boss i had this idea"
"DID YOU ADD IT TO YOUR PHUCKING TEAM LOG"
"DO YOU RHAVE BANDWIDTH"
"CAN YOU DO IT THIS SPRINT"
"NO? FUCK OFF"
:'(
maybe a little bit
It’d be nice to just stay self employed being able to do things at your own pace with no boss is nice
i mean yea, agile does really help get shit done though
its just annoying
daily standups are annoying too
Stand-ups are the only way I see my coworkers nowadays, lol
i mean, yea, i can see that
I mean, not really, we also have dedicated offtopic meetings, but I really like stand-ups
just in a normal situation (at my last job) standup was in the morning and I was caffeine deprived and my boss was always peppy and it just made me angry
It's just 15mins, no problem, but you know what everybody is up to and can help/get help

Standup is after lunch here
my boss always had this shit eating grin on his face every morning it was so annoying
i always wanted to tell him
"hey can you be mad for a second"
"show some emotion other than happy"
"plz"
So it was not the standup you hated, but the persons ^^
perhaps
The people who are fake happy all the time disturb me
Like what are they like when they get in the car on their way home
Sudden shift in attitude?
Yes
That's called office bureaucracy, it's fun
And by fun I mean terrible
Assume everyone is fake until proven otherwise. Guilty until proven innocent 
My girlfriend had a physical therapist who was super fake happy to the point of it being blatantly obvious like no one is that fucking cheerful about everything
It’s creepy to be around, like how can you be that fake all day
After some time, they just fake it without even realizing it.
Honestly, lol. You start to see the real people behind the fake facades after a while, and they know you see it and you kinda become a perfect pair of office shitposters
At least that was my experience
I used to talk mad shit was my supervisor about everybody then they'd come to see us for something and we'd be like "Ohhh, hi, X. How are you? You look lovely."
walks away
skank
My job's environment may have literally been Paper 1.0 Tier
But, well
What can you do
Let’s make a company where it’s okay to be depressed and unenthusiastic as long as you’re actually doing your job
so most of companies? 
My last job may not be descriptive of the general experience, that may have just been a literal toxic hellhole
But I'm going to pretend that everywhere is like that
Here most just don't care, people get drunk at 9AM just to survive the shift.
CEO gets taken away by police: we sleep,
Bar across the road gets closed: real shit.
That was a fun month.


Best part about that was, we clocked in a 7/8, but police closed the place, so we left.
It was Friday and no one clocked us out.

hey @void void so i have a question, you use macos right
yes
@void void can you send me a screen of your macos
@void void is that your primary os for dev or do you use i3 for dev
@quasi valley what is your mother's maiden name
michale
kneny
🐌
depends on what i need to work on
why does it matter? are you still trying to figure out whether to use i3wm for stuff or not?

i mean i3 wise, sure
try it out and see if you like it
you can't decide whether you like it or not without trying it out yourself
it's like trying clothes
things what might fit for others, might not fit for you no matter how hard you try
i use i3 on linux because it's dumb easy to set up and its stock configuration with minimal changes is very usable
that's all i need for my dev sessions
mikro has ungodly skill level tho
wrong
true
wrong
true
^ when someone else does git merge
in project i'm working on
merged two diverged branches with 200 commits each together today
proved how great wizard i am once again
no difference
time for beddy bye
gnite
depends on what i need to work on
@void void what if youre doing java
then depends on the environment
if i have linux open, i use linux
if i have macos open, i use macos
but i don't use linux when my laptop is not connected to the charger
because linux is unable to use intel gpu with my hardware
how even?
Bugrock edition.
Imagine if you tried to break the portal blocks and it spawned the obsidian back
Hell no it’s alcohol
That shit sucks
Or did you mean drinking drugs? Because that’s totally different

@CommandMethod("test <int> [string]")
public void testCommand(@Nonnull final TestCommandSender sender,
@Argument("int") @Range(max = "100") final int argument,
@Nonnull @Argument(value = "string", defaultValue = "potato") final String string) {
System.out.printf("Received int: %d and string '%s'\n", argument, string);
}
This is very hot and not even @green turret can argue that it's a mess
should be final @Nonnull not @Nonnull final
but it's not bad for annotation commands
wrong
oh nice MS is not buying tiktok
Anyway, this is more verbose than ACF stuff but that's not necessarily a bad thing
and download is forbidden with Sunday, with already downloaded apps being yoten on November 12th
I hate how it constructs the command syntax from the parameters
it's also less stringly typed than ACF
this allows me to do shit like test|t <number> literal [string] [somethingelse]
to parse t 10 literal sausage true
ur a literal sausage
There are some minor shit left tho. This doesn't map the aliases properly yet, and I need it to be able to parse command meta data for stuff like descriptions etc
Hm. I wanna do the velocity module next I think
That’s why I wanna do velocity, because I already have the entire brig mapping stuff done
fair
city shilling his command library everywhere 👀
for sponge you have to do all this
https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/pull/3095/files#diff-4dc5d2986f03aef607b0320078ee64d3R42
and sponge calls the appropriate event for people to register commands with you
I am excited ok >:(((
ACF is highly overrepresented
Tbh I don't think the sponge mappings will be specially hard either considering it's a sponge API
yeah, I probably write my own framework too eventually (depending on how much I like yours :P)
I am gonna start doing out-of-code documentation soon. I'm very open to feedback and suggestions ^-^
I mean most of it is shaped around ppl telling me I'm dumb in this Discord
You're dumb
❤️
I just want a proper OOP command library lol
and acf doesn't do that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
let me abuse lambdas everywhere and I'm all in ;D
you'll like cloud then 👀
SUPER THIS ^
Edit: thank you kind stranger for the gold
it's builder-centric and the annotations reside in an optional module
do you do automatic help generation and "smart" aliasiing (partially matching of sub commands) in cloud?
and "smart" aliasiing (partially matching of sub commands)
wat
I don't do help generation because that's very gross to do by default. Might add another optional module for that as it'd be neat to have in Hyperverse, though.
cloud-core doesn't even send messages, it just throws specific exceptions and then you can handle them however you want to
so that you can do '/command subcoif you have/command subcommand` registered without having to define all aliases yourself
cloud-bukkit will do a little more by default, and I might implement command help menus too
(of course such a feature should be optional)
I can probably add an option for that in the literal argument parser
best would be a minimum length or something
I personally have been using a matcher which just allows a single character and it's freaking amazing
speeds up command usage so much xD
I've been wanting to add levenshtein distance based approach
we partially use that in p2
eww, loops. y u not use maps?
If I use a map I couldn't possible add the feature you requested
lol
Tbh using O(n) literal parsing rather than (best case) O(1) for the sake of not having to rewrite the parser in a day or two
not a big deal 😛
does this look like protocollib discord?
oh
yes
sorry
i think your vision might be a bit cloudy, city
I've been washing my eyes with hand sanitizer ever since the pandemic started
they're very healthy and functional
Understandable
Why is CMI such a terrible plugin.
because it is
stop using it
it was never a good idea
it never looked like a good idea and if you do think it looked like a good idea you're wrong

Yes sirrr.
@golden gust why
damn
Basically, my eyes are so awesome that graph paper just fucks them over
someone recommended it to me as an alt to essentials... it looked really good but i didnt get it cuz all of my plugins depend on essx
I mean, it's a premium plugin
looking good and being good are two entirely different concepts
CMI looks (semi-)good, thats abt it
CMI is one of those plugins where it's like one person working on a project which massively boiled out of scope
yeah i wouldnt mind payin up, but like, i have mods coded into essx... and cmi aint open source
gl getting bugs fixed, etc, especially in a reasonable time
cmi also doesn't really support any kind of proper third-party integration
Essx is just better
they have almost zero events
aw ;-;
At the end of the day, EssX covers the basics
EssX and other plugins doing exactly what they were designed for are a lot better
If you want more fleshy features, get plugins dedicated to the job
CMI does everything but nothing right
Most of these essentials plugins do the bare essentials and then 9 trillion things that most people don’t need
In German we have the term "Eierlegende Wollmichsau" for that xD (roughly translates to: egg-laying woolly milk sow meaning an animal that tries to do everything)
I don’t get the appeal tbh
it's nice if you just want a good amount of stuff but not spend ages finding plugins/setting them up
you're assuming that server owners have sense beyond "looks flashy"
I guess people are too lazy to configure multiple good tools, so they settle for one mediocre tool
and Essentials is at least fairly well written and of course open source
is it the best you are going to get if you have one plugin per feature? of course not. but it will do the job
EssentialsX has improved a lot
Essentials back in the day was a big ol’ mess
Not saying they aren’t doing a good job, because they are. But eh. CMI is just dum however
Somebody just needs to remake essentials
if only it was that easy
glances at private repo
also they have, it's called Nucleus cat
shots fired
I just don’t like monolithic software and I’d personally like it better if essentials limited the feature scope by roughly 99%
But I am also not a dumb server owner so it doesn’t matter
I’m just dumb 🤷
The issue with trying to avoid monolithicness is maintenance
I thought you were a server
You end up trying to maintain 200 pieces of software vs a handful
The thing with essentials is that it's generally one or a handful of jars which covers the majority of the core aspects of any server
nicks, useful ban commands, etc, etc
There are plugins which do pretty much everything EssX does but better
I do get the appeal. I just prefer using dedicated plugins for every aspect of the game
But, many of those are unmaintained because nobody really needs that much, or they're just so small that they fall out of care
e.g. I used to use craftbook or whatever it was when Ess died
*CommandBook

We ended up needing to use another teleportation plugin to counteract that plugins lack of decent teleportation stuff
craftbook is the mechanical mod-as-a-plugin
And, that was K, but, I don't think that there are many plugins which fit that specific role, bar "hai am java plz compile"
Essentials has workarounds for funky teleport stuff (you can make it catch all teleports and store for /back) but it's... meh
Though IntellectualSites is very guilty of producing kitchen sink software. PlotSquared started out as a plot generator and now it does world management, WorldEdit limiting, tile entity management etc etc etc
Well, that's a very issue why software gets big
It’s so easy to add too many features to a plugin because the users are too dumb to realize they don’t belong there and keep begging for them
glances at /tpr
You end up with a small concept of plots, and all of a sudden you need to add support for things like WE restrictions in plots
glances at
/tpr
@cedar spade lol essx /tpr is better than most /wild plugins
Do you create another plugin for that? or, just slap it in the current plugin as it's only a few dozen lines anyways
and i tried like 3 of them
I'm not bashing the implementation - pop + contributors did a decent job of it
The thing is, where do you draw the line?
^
Like, /wild in essentials just sounds dumb when there are already so many plugins which do it
But, at the same point, many of those plugins have their own stupid problems, and well, /wild is essential to me, amirite?!
that would make sense cat... but like... i legit couldnt find a single one that worked properly
However, essentials is in dire need of java doc and nullability annotations
EssX also inherits the nonsense of 6 dubious and very specific addons, and changing the addons structure (adding new ones) creates a whole other load of questions
Imagine not documenting every public method smh
I've been working on some private code base, a few months ago I ended up doing the joyous thing of converting a /wild system to use the beautiful async chunk system
