Implying changing it could help reduce load and improve the speed/operating cost of your app
nocturne galleon
Im already at a point where any further optimization would not decrease cost or speed any
well cost wouldnt decrease anyways, im not charged for bandwidth because I own the racks and rent out datacenter space, i am only charged for the space
Although, if you have any other ideas besides caching that could improve performance, im all ears ❤
split condor
Ok. Just letting you know in-case you didn't know. ~80ms is just a bit speedier than ~600ms per request.
nocturne galleon
but im not getting 600ish response times per request
i can enable caching if you think it will speed up response by that much also, but its not going to
split condor
Every single request I have made to that API is about ~600ms
Unless you're going over some in-house networking when actually running it; caching these images on Cloudflare's edge will make a difference

ip based. discord and google dont get delayed, but its still in the 200s

@glad terrace you can also very easily install ubuntu (or any linux version, any OS if you think about it like that) on any laptop or pc using the installer ISO, Rufus USB mounting software (make sure to select DD mode when you start creating the bootable USB) and a Flash drive (preferrably 8GB)
glad terrace
Installing linux isn't the issue. It's just hardware compatibility.
nimble kestrel
I've never had compatibility issues past 32 and 64 bit

@fallow lantern with minecraft, it is single thread dependent, and because Java, a 9900k with 64GB would be the top of the line machine to run it on.
glad terrace
I'm checking out maxed out Thinkpad T480/580's currently
It's not 6 cores but sacrificing that I can get 32GB ram.
proper gale
but in reality, you would want to spread that load across multiple MCserver instances with something like bungeecord, which would make a higher core count/higher ram amount situations make more sense.
IMHO, 32GB matters more than those 2 more cores.

This may seem like a dumb question, but...
Do you have the correct token?
Discord gives you a lot of strings and i know i grabbed the wrong one when i tried making a bot the first time.
it also may behoove you to use discord.js alone without the Winston thing.
here is quick template that may help you:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on("message", (message) => {
if(message.content === 'ping'){
message.channel.send('pong');
}
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log("Online!");
});
client.on('disconnect', function(erMsg, code) {
console.log('----- Bot disconnected from Discord with code', code, 'for reason:', erMsg, '-----');
client.connect();
});
client.login("ERT2NTA1NjE1MDgzMzcyNTc0.DgLpAg.nogWEU8M55CINIRyS_hidIit5hM");
at client.login swap your token with the real looking fake one that i placed there.

Could anyone help, I have made a discord bot that runs on a backend of MySQL and I want to add a rank system depending on how many points you have, I currently have points for the user saved but is there a way of doing a if and else if statements for everything in a different table?
rotund bramble
As far as discord bots go, if it were me, I recommend Node and JS, at least to handle command routing, because you're interacting with their API and it's just easier with JS. If you need to do anything with heavy calculations like image rendering, Node isn't gonna be great for that, so I recommend having a separate python server or something.
Also, you don't need discord JS. It's FAR easier to interact with Discord's API directly.
But for the most part, discord bots are just shuffling data around and doing basic computations with basic conditionals. You likely won't run into issues with a 1 CPU server until you hit about 4,000-5,000 users.
And if you do, you just setup a load balancing server to spin up new instances. It'll cost a little more, but hopefully by that point if you have a server that big, someone would be willing to cough up a few bucks for one.
Actually, you could even just run the server locally at your house since it will likely only be interacting with Discord and users won't be interacting with it directly, so it would save you money if you have a pc laying around already.
glad terrace
@nocturne galleon Wouldn't you just run a separate SQL command with a join or SELECT rankName FROM ranks WHERE rankLow <= userPoints AND rankHigh >= userPoints.
Or something similar

proper gale
@glad terrace then how does memory leak? Just is garbage collextes, ?
And it is written I'm C/C++ afaik
glad terrace
Garbage collection is based on the principle of cleaning up data that is no longer referenced from the main application. There are times when objects are created and references are still incorrectly held due to one thing or another therefore they never get collected. Garbage collection is NOT an end all be all.
That is a decent article.
timber violet
@glad terrace
Couple things.. that stream deck looks cool and i want one now.
Also how do those menu boards work? If you dont mind explaining... im a little interested about what resteraunts ask of you and what tools you use to fulfill their requests.
glad terrace
Not sure what exactly I can say... We get designs from the clients and then we make them happen. It's a program because there are also franchisee's that may not have the same products as another store so each store can log on and add/remove categories and the entire menu can be reformatted based on those choices and the designs provided for those scenarios.
I will also say I would be considered a Web Developer lol
There are some very large multinational companies that constantly try to get information from us on how we do things exactly. I'd probably wind up fired for answering anything specific.
proper gale
im aware of how memory can be incorrectly held, that entire article sounds more like problems with JS implementation and/or features and idiotic developers than actual GC memory leek problems.
also, when i think of a memory leek im thinking of memory that can no longer be referenced. IE: last pointer goes out of scope without deleting memory, the classic leek.
glad terrace
Yeah, the 'leak' ended up not being a leak but a video encoding issue. Someone else told me it was a leak so I spent a day and a half chasing ghosts until someone actually brought the memory usage on the devices and when I saw it.... it wasn't approaching anywhere near maximum... (Like 50-60%) The only 'leak' which was visible was an array that kept getting the addition of timeout ID's and clearing them when certain things happened but then never clearing the array. It was that minuscule the things I was finding lol. At that rate it was only like 120KB an hour of additional memory and the app restarts during certain times to display different content... so not a real issue. But yeah, memory leaks with JS are really just programming mistakes.
proper gale
even in GC languaes, im super pedantic with memory, thanks C++. that approach to memory usually keeps most of these problems from being problems.
glad terrace
Definitely a good trait to have. Our stuff runs on custom hardware so performance issues do arise but its usually just things being done in a way that's bad lol.
proper gale
a good GC does help too, based on what that article said some JS GCs seem horrid.

I have a slider in HTML declared with <input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="1" class="slider" id="myRange">.

So the function value I would like to input to the HTML slider is declared as slider.value. How would I pass that to the html file?

you want to change the max in the html once it's loaded?
or the value?
because the html is something JS gets loaded into...

@tight fractal With your slider issue I'm not sure what you're asking. What exactly are you trying to do? It's pretty unclear to me. You're trying to update 'it' on the change event so what is it? If 'it' is the slider what about the slider are you trying to change? It's value should be updated automatically whenever you slide it. Overall it's just not enough information to help with whatever problem you're having.

What do you're guy's office setups look like? Does anyone here use monitor arms? I'm having some trouble determining which ones would be best. I decided instead of getting a fancy laptop I'm just going to deck out my office ($2,000 USD budget) and throw a NVMe drive on my desktop and upgrade it to 32gb ram and dual boot linux. Already purchased a Vertdesk V3 as I'm tall and it seemed to be the most stable at high heights. I have 1 Acer 27" K272HUL and It's been pretty good so far. I want to add 2 more monitors with the same 2560x1440 resolution which shouldn't be hard to figure out...

Well then... Looks like my current monitor is on sale on newegg... It's the cheapest QHD screen I see. I was going to wait until black friday to buy the extra 2 but at that price...

Wht this code returns this and creashes before returning me a real value:

cout << "XCor:" << XCor << endl;

Any ideas?

@nova moth why is XCor a pointer?

What can it be?

the print outs you are getting is the current pointer value, the pointers location, then you try to dereference an invalid pointer.
why are you touching pointers if you dont know what they are?

I need to know what value is at BASE + 19315432
But as a double
I know what they are. Just never done what I'm trying now and I'm a bit confussed
a bit = A LOT

why 19315432 byte offset?

Need to read what is there

you are casing to a double, writing that to a pointer (as the address), then reading from that
cast to a double* and you are good
(double*)(BASE + offset)

see if that gives you what you expect

should work given your address is correct
still dont see the point of checking the address of the stack variable.

well for starters, read the msdn on readprocessmemory

_In_ HANDLE hProcess,
_In_ LPCVOID lpBaseAddress,
_Out_ LPVOID lpBuffer,
_In_ SIZE_T nSize,
_Out_ SIZE_T *lpNumberOfBytesRead
);
the 3rd argument is the value read from lpBaseAddress
it's trying to write to that argument
but XCorVal is uninitialised
so it's just gonna be some random address
hence why you get a memory access violation

If you've got a decently powerful gaming rig and are just doing webdev or other light dev just put linux in a VM. Also means you can isolate projects inside their own dedicated VMs if you want to, or try lots of distributions, or other fun things
glad terrace
I put a $2000 USD budget on upgrading my office. So far I've spent $680 on a Sit/Stand desk. I already have an $800 office chair and think I'm going to pick up the Alienware 34" ultrawide monitor and a couple monitor arms for that and my other monitor. Should put me right at that 2K mark
I will use a VM to at least try out some new distros (thanks for the advice never thought of that) but I'm a little bit of a performance snob and have to have a real install lol.
My desktop isn't super special but it't probably better than average. i7-7700k, GTX 1080, 16GB ram (want to upgrade to 32gb)
lean island
Not far from mine except for RAM. I'm on an i7 7800X, GTX1080, and 72GB RAM
But really, most linux os's run great on very little hardware, so can comfortably run on 8-12GB and 6 of your 8 threads (leaving 4-8GB and 2 threads for the OS to sit in the background and not die).
Trying different distros can be really interesting. If you're using Ubuntu (and statistically, you probably are) try Fedora (or CentOS), and perhaps Manjaro. Or go full masochist and install Gentoo
glad terrace
Manjaro is one that really caught my eye I think. Thats the one that is basically easy mode Archlinux right?
I currently use Ubuntu haha. But yea, I'll be running a bunch of docker containers to basically run a clone of my server for web dev work and easy deployability and testing. Not sure that I would completely trust a VM to replicate it well enough but then again that's what docker is for lol. But also performance...

i have been working on a music bot recently for discord and have run into a bit of an issue. Occasionally the stream will not resume after a song ends. There dont seem to be any errors and the bot still lights up in the chat as if it were still making noise.
Its strange because this only happens intermittently. When it does happen, the only solution is to restart the bot twice. Why twice? i dont know.
i use discord.js and ts
anyways here is what i believe to be the relevant code :
this.connection = await this.connectToVoice();
var end = async function () {
setTimeout(() => {
var t = this.account.popNextSong();
this.dispatcher = null;
this.dispatcher = this.connection.playArbitraryInput(t.audioURL);
this.dispatcher.on('end', end);
this.channel.send(this.makeEmbed(t));
}, this.delay);
}.bind(this);

I’ve bought an internet domain (___.com). I want to host a website from a raspberry pi. What would be the pest solution?
vestal glen
to have a static IP
carmine eagle
@last ingot I’ve also heard of noip. Don’t they create their own domain? I want to use my existing domain. I haven’t read a lot about it, but both services would redirect the domain to the raspberry pi without changing the domain. e.g. test.com would not result in 88.865.755.76. Am I right?

If you want to use your own Domain, no. It's free to use one of their SUBDOMAINS.pre-set-list-of-domains.com though.

proper gale
+1 for cloudflare
nocturne galleon
Highly recommend cloudflare, especially if you're hosting on your home network. It masks the originating IP and offers DDOS protection.
little knoll
@crude vessel you should look at some guide about using Nginx as a node app proxy and how link it to a domain name (or just use your droplet IP as the app address in your web browser)
crude vessel
hmm okay ty
little knoll
You just have to "proxy" the node app port (most of the time it's port 3000) with Nginx to the default http port (80) and your Nginx server will also confirm that requests from port 80 come from the correct domain name (in the case you are using a domain name)
If there is any specific setup involved in your app infrastructure, don't hesitate to send a small drawing showing how your app is setup on your droplet, it will help us guiding you in the right direction ;)

Basically, instead of a traditional server running a LAMP stack or something like that
You would, for instance, rely on API Gateway and Lambda on top of a data layer (I’d probably do Aurora, but Dynamo would work just as well) to serve your website, rather than using a dedicated server.
For simpler stuff (e.g. running a blog), it works pretty well.

@nova moth when memory is allocated on the stack, quite commonly this is on top of what was just there from the previous call, so you will get random data in the variables location

C++20, with LuaJIT for scripting
i plan to extend it to be interoperable with Java aswell
for all its faults, Java handles runtime code changes really well

so, yes
you can extend it in C++, as that will be the first way
but most definitely the hardest.

do you have any kind of server backend? So can you run php or perl or js or python or ruby etc.?
vale hollow
Sadly no, I just have a free domain name with 10gb storage
vestal glen
(probably would support php though)
uh, what you can do
is to have a JSON file with the actual links in it and password protect that via server config
(HTTP basic auth)
and then load that in via JS, triggering the basic auth for the pw and username, and then replace the link contents if the file is loaded successfully
vale hollow
🤕
vestal glen
(this is client side JS)
html itself doesn't have any access management, but HTTP does, so that's one way to do it...
vale hollow
I will work on that, thanks for the precise answer !
nocturne galleon
Just setup an .htaccess file
Something like this:
.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
.htpasswd
test:dGRkPurkuWmW2
And put it in a sub-folder called "protected" or "admin" or something
@vale hollow
vestal glen
that's assuming it's a server with htaccess files enabled and supported.
ionic hull
Free hosting usually lets you have .htaccess files
And they usually provide cpanel
And there is a page on cpanell to set passwords in a folder

One thing that bothers me a bit from all the RTX reviews is that none of em mention the increased CUDA version and the new Mesh Shader pipeline
which is epic for VR stuff
its all "muh RTX"
and then everyone bases it on Battlefields implementation
RTX is super ideal for realtime AO
could be done with basically no performance loss
so I feel LMG didn't do the reviews justice really.. They're paving the way for real time raytracing which is major
can I notify any of the LMG staff about this? (or someone).. I really think they should add a bit of justice to their RTX review or at least explain that this is major for the future rather than just shitting on NVIDIA for this
glad terrace
@stiff gull Honestly they probably are aware and on top of that don't care. For the premium it's not worth the money unless you're trying to do some super heavy lifting and just need that extra bump.
stiff gull
It just hurts to see a valuable effort to forward the graphics industry to something that can actually reach realtime photorealism (in time) to be so shit upon.
ofc this is only the first generation of this tech
proper gale
It's slow, and raster methods are really good at faking it.
stiff gull
but if they get only shit about it they'll just remove it and forget about it rather than improve it
@proper gale rasterisation only gets you so far
glad terrace
It will be a thing in the future but like all new tech it's called the bleeding edge for a reason.
stiff gull
especially lighting wise
stiff gull
doing realtime GI is a very big pain on rasterisation
through raytracing its done a lot faster
glad terrace
Part of the issue is there were no games that supported it at launch.
Why pay for a feature you couldn't use?
proper gale
Most raster methods are limited by draw calls and the GPU's speed
stiff gull
couldn't use "yet" and then not everyone is a gamer.. If I still had a old GPU instead of my GTX1080 I would've bought one to have fun with those features myself
still really wanna try out mesh shaders but I can't
proper gale
Dual+ GPU vulkan could help this by using a secondary card to do some additional renders.
Ex: shadowmaps
glad terrace
NVIDIA absolutely failed by all standards of a proper product launch. Period.
stiff gull
@proper gale you'll still be bound by problems like shadow bias and resolution
cascade shadow mapping, how decent it is for now is still quite expensive
requiring N renders of the scene for shadow data
proper gale
Yes, but it's damn good, so Ray tracing needs to be fucking fast to match it.
stiff gull
its super cheap for rays to shadow test
though that'll get you hard shadows
and don't forget that it runs parallel to the rasterisation
its a whole separate processing unit
proper gale
I primarily see Ray tracing only being a thing is slow single player games, until a xx60 class card can do 60hz at a reasonable resolution
stiff gull
so if you spent 10 ms on a frame, that's 10 ms you can also raytrace
@proper gale I think we just need to 'know' that BF's implemenation for RTX is flawed
proper gale
On bleeding edge Nvidia hardware
stiff gull
if they had gone for realtime AO that wouldn't have cut their FPS into more than half
rather than trying realtime scene reflections
which is wayy beyond the budget for RTX
at 1080p60 you get a 7 rays per frame budget
realtime AO takes 2-3
proper gale
7 rays will get you 3 pixels tops.
stiff gull
7 rays per pixel
-per frame
ofc if you scale up the resolution that drops hard
but still 10 gigarays is a lot of "free" processing power
they just don't need to use it overzealously
like BF did
glad terrace
I've been a BF fan for a long time. I own every version except V and wont be buying it.
stiff gull
I just hope there's some smarter game devs out there that can realise its potential rather than abuse it
I'd make a demo but sadly I lack the hardware for it
(also quite busy with my current project)
I mean I have nothing against Battlefield but they just completely wrecked their RTX stuff
the video mentions them staying about 60FPS but apparently they removed some of their optimisations
glad terrace
Quite frankly I'm not sure I could care less about fancier lighting and I know I'm not the only one. It shouldn't be the main focus of their cards.
stiff gull
I mean they could literally use RTX as a performance booster instead
lets say they didn't do all that stupid reflections stuff
just the normal game
now instead of using SSAO which drains performance, they could use RTX on parallel as a free boost to replace that
now you have better AO and more FPS
glad terrace
But did they?
stiff gull
no, but that's the stupid thing, if they did that RTX would be in way better light already
"RTX, better visuals AND more fps!?"
glad terrace
There ya go! Coulda, shoulda, wouldn't, didn't! lol 😃
I personally want more horsepower. Not fancier lights on my car's dashboard.
stiff gull
but that IS more horsepower
you just have to use it efficiently
its like getting extra cores on a CPU
but you actually have to UTILISE those cores for more power
glad terrace
not my fault they aren't so no... not really. If I don't get any benefit from it then there is no real value.
stiff gull
well then why get a GPU with OpenCL or CUDA cores if they aren't used anyways

IIRC BFV was also developed on non RTX cards. So while it's the first, I think we'll see later properly what RTX can bring.
stiff gull
it has a "RTX enhanced" feature
which enables the special stuff, its built upon it
so you won't be able to enable it on non-RTX cards
not that you even WANT to enable it on RTX cards with that FPS...
stiff gull
it does need RTX cards
its a specific extension on those cards that allow for it
VK_NVX_raytracing GLSL_NVX_raytracing SPV_NVX_raytracing
and whatever the Dx12 flag is (can't find it)
anyhow DXR works through that specific flag
so your card needs to support it
which is basically only the RTX cards and their workstation variants
waxen summit
For devs, they might have allowed it. As they also had access to DRX before the version was out.
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-battlefield-5-rtx-ray-tracing-analysis Also based on what the devs said, they're still figuring how stuff goes and are working on it.
stiff gull
there was a emulation for DXR through some SDk
but its working through compute and really slow
waxen summit
Which could be good enough to develop stuff.

Hey guys. I'd really appreciate it if any of you have time if you could reply to my post on the forum. Thanks 😃 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1000886-game-dev-mobile-workstation-recommendations/?tab=comments#comment-12013814
(Forum post is about deving. Trying to post this link in the right channel)

@stiff gull those extensions are Vulkan only.
stiff gull
well I'm only really using Dx11 so I haven't too much experience with the others but I know there are query flags for every API
same with OpenGL/Vulkan/Dx12

anyone any good with CAD? I need some relatively simple work done and will pay someone

@nocturne galleon I have a degree in CAD design, mainly using SolidWorks (or Autodesk Inventor) with metric system. Just tell me what are your needs, if that's urgent or when you want it in the best case and your budget. Also, tell me if you only need the 3d model or if drawings are also needed and if yes, in what format :)
You can PM me if you prefer :)

Anyone here mess with OpenACC and getting code to run on Nvidia GPUs?
I had to write a program as a final project that calculates multiplication matrices, a problem set that benefits from parallelization. Supposedly my GPU can calculate it faster than my CPU but when running it on my CPU it's almost instant. So... idk.
