Our 2019 Developer Survey is Open to Coders Everywhere!

Khalid El Khatib on January 23, 2019

What languages do you want to work with next year? Are you more productive in an office or working from home? When did you write your first line of code? We want to hear from you in our annual developer survey! The survey, now in its ninth year, launches today and anyone who codes is encouraged to participate.

Take the 2019 survey!

This year’s survey questions are designed to gain insight into developer career paths, programming languages and tools, working preferences, and overall opinions and feedback. There are some fun questions, too (like previous years’ tabs vs. spaces and gif vs. “jiff”)! …

Probably. It'll be something silly that I'll miss and it'll be like... fetchMessages({ limit: 100, offset: 100})

Kevin B

the api's limit property is limited to the values 1-100

discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/…

right there in the docs

FreezePhoenix

5:16 PM

Yeah, right in the docs

Kevin B

discord.js is just a wrapper for the api

FreezePhoenix

I'm well aware.

Kevin B

hence why i found it a silly question

FreezePhoenix

But if I wanted to get more than 100 messages, I can't just up the limit. There's some way to do it...

Kevin B

The only option allowed by the api is to iterate, increasing the offset on each request

so... considering discord.js is just a wrapper for the api, it's not going to be able to do anything outside of those bounds

FreezePhoenix

5:20 PM

so unless I use the API directly I can't?

Kevin B

you can't either way

the api's limit is 100 at a time, discord.js relies on the api, the limit for both is 100 at a time.

FreezePhoenix

yes I know it goes at 100 at a time But what if I wanted to fetch 2 non-identicle sets of 100 from the same channel, one directly before the other?

Kevin B

would that not be iteration?

5 mins ago, by Kevin B

The only option allowed by the api is to iterate, increasing the offset on each request

Tinkeringbell

7:57 PM

@Rob It certainly does look really good :)

Werner

@Tinkeringbell I looked at that, but it didn't answer the question I had in mind. The question is: Could using an SE site while being mobile (say you're on the bus on your laptop, using a tethered connection to your cellphone) and you're switching between connections - I don't know how that works - cause one to fall prey to a CAPTCHA trigger?

Rob

They certainly have some weird ones, one looked like it had fish and Dandylion leaves on it. Yuk!

Werner

For example, there's mention of a "less than 5 second limit" for posting an answer/edit. If you switch between networks while being mobile, could it be that SE thinks you posted something within 5 seconds of starting it (even though you've starting the post 30 minutes ago, say)?

Again, I have no idea how mobility affects timestamps on SE's side.

Hence the question.
