#

are u also a filthy migrant? if not, GO TO COLLEGE

spiral sparrow
#

i thought college wasnt worth it

#

thats what aikar or @vernal moth told me

#

if u learn young then u dont need college

dim shadow
#

thats what they tell u but both of them have degrees afaik

next wind
#

Depends on what your going for

#

But that's not always true

dim shadow
#

at the end of the day employers do look at degrees... unless u have an impressive portfolio of personal projects to show off

next wind
#

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

dim shadow
#

my current goal is to release some good plugins and hope my spigotmc rating impresses an employer someday

next wind
#

You just need to get an employer who runs an mc server and uses your plugins lol

dim shadow
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

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

potent fossil
#

get credit cards without proper financial education and then max them out

#

it really is not hard

dim shadow
#
  1. expensive degrees
  2. out of state college/uni
#

go to community college in ur state, cheap af

potent fossil
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

why

potent fossil
#

because kids are stupid

#

and i was a kid

next wind
#

Don't be stupid then

#

Thanks for the tip simple

#

I think it might be too late though

potent fossil
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

oh so how a credit card works is you don’t have money

dim shadow
#

lol i got a bank account at 17... bank gave me a free cc along with it LOL

#

banks = not your friend

spiral sparrow
#

but u can get it then apply for it

#

then u have money

#

but u just pay them back?

potent fossil
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

how long do you have to pay it back

potent fossil
#

until it's paid back

#

i mean read your terms, when you apply you can see the interest rate you'll get

dim shadow
#

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

potent fossil
#

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

dim shadow
#

@potent fossil i also ended up paying like half in interest LOL

mighty storm
#

uh oh, using a deprecated method

potent fossil
#

don't carry the balance, cause then they tack on interest

spiral sparrow
#

what age do you have to be to get a credit card

mighty storm
#

deprecated since java 9

#

18

spiral sparrow
#

how are you 17 with a card @dim shadow

mighty storm
#

@dim shadow you probably got a debit card not credit

potent fossil
#

You can get a parent to cosign a credit card when you're 16

mighty storm
#

unless youre not american

potent fossil
#

depending on the bank

dim shadow
#

no i got both, on the same day LOL

mighty storm
#

oh yeah that too

potent fossil
#

That means if you fuck up, your parent's credit is on the line

dim shadow
#

bank of america... lived in georgia back then if that helps any

potent fossil
#

"co sign"

mighty storm
#

Oh yeah that thing

potent fossil
#

don't fuck up on a cosigned credit allowance ^^ its rude

spiral sparrow
#

i don’t think my parents would do that for me

#

LOL

mighty storm
#

dw, parents should prevent that

potent fossil
#

then wait till ur 18

dim shadow
#

how old are u huck? i guess it depends on state

spiral sparrow
#

13

potent fossil
#

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

dim shadow
#

bruh

#

xD

potent fossil
#

yeah he's literally in 8th grade worried about his degree and forever job

#

i told him to chill

dim shadow

spiral sparrow
#

mighty storm
#

i clone the repo when i run it, then compile @zealous wedge

void void
#

I will do an Aikar one lol

stiff yarrow
#

On a car loan

potent fossil
#

you start with 0 huck

dim shadow
#

what is your default credit when you finally get a card
@spiral sparrow mine started out at like $1.7k

potent fossil
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

is it ok to take a car from your parents

mighty storm
#

again, cosign

zealous wedge
#

that is still super brittle chew 😦

stiff yarrow
#

Default for me was 1000

potent fossil
#

I thought he meant credit score

spiral sparrow
#

my dad said when i get my permit i can have the 2020 car he has

stiff yarrow
#

Then they raised it to 2700 without me asking

mighty storm
#

listen z0w0 there's brittle and there's 100 imports

spiral sparrow
#

but if i don’t get mine own do i not@build credit

dim shadow
#

is it ok to take a car from your parents
@spiral sparrow if he said u can then sure, its his car

zealous wedge
#

there are alternatives chew :/

spiral sparrow
#

what about car loans

potent fossil
#

you can't build credit unless you have a bureau reporting account, indeed

zealous wedge
#

like service loader, classpath scanning, all that

mighty storm
#

o like what

potent fossil
#

car loans report yes but you can't get one without a credit score

zealous wedge
#

guava i think has a thing, there's reflections

mighty storm
#

ok pls pr pleading_apple

potent fossil
#

you have to build your credit first

dim shadow
#

no, fuck loans... cc's are bad enough, loans are worse

stiff yarrow
#

I’m almost at 800 on FICO

potent fossil
#

loans and cc are fine if you play the game correctly

spiral sparrow
#

i meant

mighty storm
#

do NOT loan unless you absolutely have to

spiral sparrow
#

if i get a fully paid car from my dad

#

how do i build credit

#

without the loan

dim shadow
#

cc & loans should be for emergencies only imo

potent fossil
#

open a card... lol

mighty storm
#

buyng other things?? tf

dim shadow
#

not buying shit u "want"

mighty storm
#

why would you turn down a car just to "build credit"

stiff yarrow
#

Secured card is easy first step

mighty storm
#

if you dont want the car gimme it then lmao

spiral sparrow
#

i thought if you had a lot of good credit

potent fossil
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

you make more money

mighty storm
#

nono

zealous wedge
#

my first credit card had i think a $1k limit?

minor badge
#

ive apparently got a credit score of 604/1000

zealous wedge
#

with no credit history

minor badge
#

not bad for a student

spiral sparrow
#

so why is credit important

mighty storm
#

yours goes to 1000?

minor badge
#

yes

spiral sparrow
#

how old were you zml

mighty storm
#

im at like 630ish/750ish

void void
#

Lmao

spiral sparrow
#

when you got the $1k card

potent fossil
#

ok, once again, people, we are advising a 13 year old on credit; yesterday we advised him on degrees and job choice.

#

8th grade

zealous wedge
#

what's fun here is credit checks are free but actually getting a score costs money

stiff yarrow
#

Credit is useful to not get fucked on a big loan ( like a car )

warm anchor
#

true

dim shadow
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

ohh ok

warm anchor
#

isnt huck like 12 or something

#

too early for him

next wind
#

13 I think

void void
dim shadow
#

credit score = how likely u are to pay shit back

spiral sparrow
#

so if u have a 1k credit card then you mac it and pay it all off and ur credit score is increased

minor badge
#

ngl i wish i had learnt abt economics at 13

spiral sparrow
#

u can get a 5k card?

warm anchor
#

no

minor badge
#

im here now with no idea how money works

warm anchor
#

it's based on your income

dim shadow
#

maybe not a jump from $1k to $5k but yeah gradually

warm anchor
#

not base on how fast you can pay it off

stiff yarrow
#

There’s stupid factors that go into something like a FICO score

spiral sparrow
#

oh ok

mighty storm
#

my card is like $300 limit lmfao

spiral sparrow
#

why

#

is that cause bad score

stiff yarrow
#

Revolving utilization, age of credit, any missed payments etc

mighty storm
#

it's cause my score was 0 when i opened lmao

warm anchor
#

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

potent fossil
#

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
spiral sparrow
#

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

mighty storm
#

"good" score takes years, decades even

stiff yarrow
#

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

spiral sparrow
#

see if im 16 and if i get a card at 16

#

maybe i can be 20

#

and have good credit

mighty storm
#

my dad is like 820/850 or so

next wind
#

Don't open a credit card at 13

stiff yarrow
#

Damn that’s near perfect

spiral sparrow
#

my dad had bad credit for a long time

next wind
#

No reason too

mighty storm
#

you cant open a credit card at 13

spiral sparrow
#

then its good now

mighty storm
#

yeah, he always pays back on time

stiff yarrow
#

I’m hoping to hit 800+ soon

spiral sparrow
#

no i mean in 3 years

stiff yarrow
#

you cant open a credit card at 13
@mighty storm there are ways

mighty storm
#

thought earliest was 16 for cosign

#

i got a DEBIT at 13 though

cosmic raft
dim shadow
#

bruh i played that game like 10yrs ago

#

too pay2win for my taste

next wind
#

Stop advertising 😠

stiff yarrow
#

If you fuck credit up it’s like 7 years of tainted score

spiral sparrow
#

how did you get a debit at 13

cosmic raft
#

by asking the bank?

spiral sparrow
#

and what is the difference between debt and credit

next wind
#

Debits are easy to get

mighty storm
#

went to my bank and got one

cosmic raft
#

getting a debit card is simple

next wind
#

Just ask your parent

mighty storm
#

debit is just a frontend for your bank

cosmic raft
#

you just ask

mighty storm
#

i had a (child) account at 13

spiral sparrow
#

oh so debts are where if you don’t have money the card declines

cosmic raft
#

yes

spiral sparrow
#

but if it’s credit

#

you go negative

dim shadow
#

credit = money that u put into ur bank
debit = money ur borrowing from bank

spiral sparrow
#

and thats what you pay

dim shadow
#

wait no

mighty storm
#

debit card is money straight out of your account

dim shadow
#

other way around LOL

spiral sparrow
#

ok so if im 16

mighty storm
#

Debit card = spending YOUR money
Credit card = Spending bank's money, promising you'll pay it back

spiral sparrow
#

and have no job

stiff yarrow
#

Credit is mostly useful for a select few things as an adult

spiral sparrow
#

and apply for a card will i get one

cosmic raft
#

yes

mighty storm
#

probably not

#

well, credit, no

spiral sparrow
#

just with a low limit

dim shadow
#

idk about ur bank rules @spiral sparrow but my bank required job

mighty storm
#

you need parent's co-sign, then yes

spiral sparrow
#

i have no bank

cosmic raft
#

as long as it is debit you apply for

mighty storm
#

since parents take the blow

cosmic raft
#

if you apply for credit, no

spiral sparrow
#

no i meant credit

#

like money i borrow

mighty storm
#

depends on bank, parent would co-sign you under them

#

if you fuck up, it's on them

spiral sparrow
#

ok so if i’m 16

mighty storm
#

so usually they say no

spiral sparrow
#

oh ok

cosmic raft
#

not at 16 without a stable job, no, not by yourself

mighty storm
#

you aren't 16 tho.. so just wait a few years to worry abt this lmao

cosmic raft
#

if with a parent, maybe

#

no guarantee your bank will allow it

mighty storm
#

id idnt worry about credit cards until ~3 months before i turned 18

#

and even now i still dont caare

cosmic raft
#

I'm 24 and still don't have a credit card

spiral sparrow
#

it says in my state

#

i can get a parent to co sign

dim shadow
#

i only got a cc because my bank gave it to me free when i opened a bank account ;-;

spiral sparrow
#

at 13

cosmic raft
#

sure, huck

dim shadow
#

i didnt even walk in there wanting a dam cc

next wind
#

For a debit yes

mighty storm
#

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

cosmic raft
#

but a bank is under no obligation to provide it

mighty storm
#

at 13? not for credit

spiral sparrow
mighty storm
#

that's for your parent to decide

next wind
#

Don't worry about credit cards

mighty storm
#

see your child

minor badge
#

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)

spiral sparrow
#

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

mighty storm
#

@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

spiral sparrow
#

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

mighty storm
#

you can type it all on one line, we can read

#

and yes

spiral sparrow
#

does my credit get affected if i dont mes up

mighty storm
#

well yeah, positively

minor badge
#

ic what you mean then, yea

spiral sparrow
#

or is it building theirs

stiff yarrow
#

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

mighty storm
#

actually a good question, anyone know?

spiral sparrow
#

if your 24 and don’t have a credit card that means your doing well finacially right

mighty storm
#

no(t really)

minor badge
#

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

mighty storm
#

just means you dont need one

spiral sparrow
#

and didnt need loans

mighty storm
#

you dont need a credit card to get a loan ( i dont think? )

next wind
#

You can get loans without a credit card I think

dim shadow
#

see when i said stop thinking @spiral sparrow ? ur literally thinking 3-4 years ahead right now

stiff yarrow
#

You will want credit score to be good for when you need a loan on something like a car

Don't worry about making mistakes

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

spiral sparrow
#

i cant enjoy the present when i cant go outside with out covering my entire face with a mask

zealous wedge
#

or do you have one of those debit cards that isn't just interac

stiff yarrow
#

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

next wind
#

Mistakes are good for you

mighty storm
#

present ≠ going outside and doing stuff

spiral sparrow
#

so i just sit in my house and think about my future

and try to get my skills up

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

potent fossil
#

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

spiral zinc
#

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

potent fossil
#

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

minor badge
#

simple do be putting folks out of a job

potent fossil
#

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 reeeee)

minor badge
#

then fat smudges, coffee spills, and so forth :>

potent fossil
#

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"

spiral sparrow
#

i just want a job that will assure i have a six figure salary

minor badge
#

surely thats like.. minimal wage

#

just abt anyways?

wtf in what world is 6 figure minimum wage

i mean idk maybe more or less

i dont think my dad earns 6 figures a year lmfao

mighty storm

static pilot
#

where do you live

#

that lets you have living conditions at 4 figures a year

potent fossil
#

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

mighty storm

wtf

#

i didnt say living

static pilot

oh so youre dead

minimum wage is not a living wage lmfao

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

mighty storm

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

static pilot
#

accomplice, associate, friend

mighty storm
#

yeah those kinds of people

#

no one related to you basically

potent fossil
#

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

mighty storm
#

yeah i feel that even with people who didnt die

potent fossil
#

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

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

mighty storm
#

damn, didnt a mod dev pass recently too?

potent fossil
#

anyway my point was i mourn ppl i don't know and i dont find it weird

mighty storm

no one in my life has like.. died.

#

theyve just disappeared

@spiral sparrow a degree does make it certainly much easier, but it's no strong requirement

#

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

vernal moth
#

Bootcamps?

#

What does that mean in this context?

#

Am assuming its still a short training where you get a paper at the end, right?

stiff yarrow
#

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

potent fossil
#

two of my coworkers got jobs from bootcamps alone, but they werent degreeless. just didn't have IT degrees

vernal moth
#

Ah ok, so not as short as I thought

#

That's like half a ywar

stiff yarrow
#

There’s a lot of CS graduates who are really low in actual experience ( hours wise )

potent fossil
#

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

vernal moth
#

I guess it's kinda like germanies dual apprenticeship system

stiff yarrow
#

It’s my understanding boot camps used to be looked down on but now it’s becoming better perceived among employers

vernal moth
#

Just, not regulated, lol

potent fossil
#

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

stiff yarrow
#

There’s a lot of fluff in a Cs bachelors like general education credits, boot camps focus on what’s important

potent fossil
#

i mean really, degree is not be all end all (in the US)

if you can network well, you're in the door

#

Could be that or it could be some people can’t come across as competent in an interview to save their life nossrthink

#

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 nossrptsd

potent fossil
#

just emphasize skills more than job and education history

stiff yarrow
#

I have a feeling I’ll be okay, I have the skills and I’m good with people

potent fossil
#

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?" kekwhyper

stiff yarrow
#

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 nossrptsd

#

I mean I easily have over 10k hours in programming it shouldn’t be hard to appear competent

potent fossil
#

Do you know other skills like basic project management (agile)?

#

That'll wow them too, as then they don't have to teach you

stiff yarrow
#

I’m familiar with those things but I’ve never used them

potent fossil
#

like off the top of your head can you define: epic, feature, story, task, sprint

stiff yarrow
#

I’ve read thorough descriptions of agile work environments

if you can define those in your interview, chances of hire go Stonks

i mean, yea, i can see that

vernal moth
#

I mean, not really, we also have dedicated offtopic meetings, but I really like stand-ups

potent fossil
#

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

vernal moth

Standup is after lunch here

"show some emotion other than happy"

"plz"

So it was not the standup you hated, but the persons ^^

Anyway, this is more verbose than ACF stuff but that's not necessarily a bad thing

quasi valley
#

and download is forbidden with Sunday, with already downloaded apps being yoten on November 12th

heady spear
#

I hate how it constructs the command syntax from the parameters

zealous wedge
#

it's also less stringly typed than ACF

heady spear
#

this allows me to do shit like test|t <number> literal [string] [somethingelse]

#

to parse t 10 literal sausage true

cedar spade
#

ur a literal sausage

heady spear
#

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

zealous wedge
#

velocity is ez

#

it's just brig

#

sponge 8 will be fun tho

heady spear
#

That’s why I wanna do velocity, because I already have the entire brig mapping stuff done

zealous wedge
#

fair

limber knotBOT
#

city shilling his command library everywhere 👀

zealous wedge
#

and sponge calls the appropriate event for people to register commands with you

heady spear
#

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

limber knotBOT
#

yeah, I probably write my own framework too eventually (depending on how much I like yours :P)

heady spear
#

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

wide chasm
#

You're dumb

heady spear
#

thx stef

#

you too

wide chasm
#

❤️

limber knotBOT
#

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

heady spear
#

you'll like cloud then 👀

left swift
#

SUPER THIS ^

Edit: thank you kind stranger for the gold

heady spear
#

it's builder-centric and the annotations reside in an optional module

limber knotBOT
#

do you do automatic help generation and "smart" aliasiing (partially matching of sub commands) in cloud?

heady spear
#

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

limber knotBOT
#

so that you can do '/command subcoif you have/command subcommand` registered without having to define all aliases yourself

heady spear
#

cloud-bukkit will do a little more by default, and I might implement command help menus too

limber knotBOT
#

(of course such a feature should be optional)

heady spear
#

I can probably add an option for that in the literal argument parser

limber knotBOT
#

best would be a minimum length or something

heady spear
#

but there's nothing stopping me from adding more options there. I'd love to :]

limber knotBOT
#

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

heady spear
#

I've been wanting to add levenshtein distance based approach

#

we partially use that in p2

limber knotBOT
#

eww, loops. y u not use maps?

heady spear
#

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 😛

zealous wedge
#

does this look like protocollib discord?

glad narwhal
#

oh

heady spear
#

yes

glad narwhal
#

sorry

zealous wedge
#

i think your vision might be a bit cloudy, city

heady spear
#

I've been washing my eyes with hand sanitizer ever since the pandemic started

#

they're very healthy and functional

cosmic raft
#

Hm

#

I need to go shopping in a little bit

#

need more graph paper

heady spear
#

Understandable

drowsy urchin
#

Why is CMI such a terrible plugin.

twin lagoon
#

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

drowsy urchin
#

Yes sirrr.

golden gust
#

graph paper

#

God, my eyes hurt just thinking about it

cosmic raft
#

@golden gust why

dim shadow
#

damn

left swift
#

Lines

#

Too many

golden gust
#

Basically, my eyes are so awesome that graph paper just fucks them over

dim shadow
#

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

golden gust
#

I mean, it's a premium plugin

#

looking good and being good are two entirely different concepts

minor badge
#

CMI looks (semi-)good, thats abt it

golden gust
#

CMI is one of those plugins where it's like one person working on a project which massively boiled out of scope

dim shadow
#

yeah i wouldnt mind payin up, but like, i have mods coded into essx... and cmi aint open source

golden gust
#

gl getting bugs fixed, etc, especially in a reasonable time

limber knotBOT
#

cmi also doesn't really support any kind of proper third-party integration

left swift
#

Essx is just better

limber knotBOT
#

they have almost zero events

dim shadow
#

aw ;-;

golden gust
#

At the end of the day, EssX covers the basics

limber knotBOT
#

EssX and other plugins doing exactly what they were designed for are a lot better

golden gust
#

If you want more fleshy features, get plugins dedicated to the job

limber knotBOT
#

CMI does everything but nothing right

heady spear
#

Most of these essentials plugins do the bare essentials and then 9 trillion things that most people don’t need

limber knotBOT
#

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)

heady spear
#

I don’t get the appeal tbh

limber knotBOT
#

it's nice if you just want a good amount of stuff but not spend ages finding plugins/setting them up

golden gust
#

you're assuming that server owners have sense beyond "looks flashy"

heady spear
#

I guess people are too lazy to configure multiple good tools, so they settle for one mediocre tool

limber knotBOT
#

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

heady spear
#

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

cedar spade
#

I agree with one of those statements

#

And the other only slightly

golden gust
#

Somebody just needs to remake essentials

cedar spade
#

if only it was that easy

#

glances at private repo

#

also they have, it's called Nucleus cat

golden gust
#

Yea, but, like

#

for a relevant platform

#

runs

cedar spade
#

shots fired

heady spear
#

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 🤷

golden gust
#

The issue with trying to avoid monolithicness is maintenance

left swift
#

I thought you were a server

golden gust
#

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

heady spear
#

I do get the appeal. I just prefer using dedicated plugins for every aspect of the game

golden gust
#

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

cedar spade
#

*CommandBook

left swift
golden gust
#

We ended up needing to use another teleportation plugin to counteract that plugins lack of decent teleportation stuff

cedar spade
#

craftbook is the mechanical mod-as-a-plugin

golden gust
#

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"

cedar spade
#

Essentials has workarounds for funky teleport stuff (you can make it catch all teleports and store for /back) but it's... meh

heady spear
#

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

golden gust
#

Well, that's a very issue why software gets big

heady spear
#

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

cedar spade
#

glances at /tpr

golden gust
#

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

dim shadow
#

glances at /tpr
@cedar spade lol essx /tpr is better than most /wild plugins

golden gust
#

Do you create another plugin for that? or, just slap it in the current plugin as it's only a few dozen lines anyways

dim shadow
#

and i tried like 3 of them

heady spear
#

DarkEyeDragon has a good one

#

@worn ember plug!

cedar spade
#

I'm not bashing the implementation - pop + contributors did a decent job of it

golden gust
#

The thing is, where do you draw the line?

cedar spade
#

^

golden gust
#

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?!

dim shadow
#

that would make sense cat... but like... i legit couldnt find a single one that worked properly

heady spear
#

However, essentials is in dire need of java doc and nullability annotations

cedar spade
#

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

heady spear
#

Imagine not documenting every public method smh

golden gust
#

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
