I frequently report ywwv's posts on the forums since months and no perma ban has been enforced for this troll. |
| 01:33 |
kilbith |
I want to say: *shame* on the moderation team who themselves an accomplice of ywwv for letting him trolling and annoying everyone |
| 01:33 |
kilbith |

| 01:35 |
kilbith |
we have tolerated paramat for too long and now it's ywwv who don't bring anything positive to this community |
| 01:36 |

hello |
| 01:39 |
CrazyTeacher |
I want to set up a minetest server for my class. Which version is recommended for this? stable or master |
| 01:51 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> ironically ywwv has been banned from basically ever other minetest platform but the forums |
| 01:52 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> banned/blocked |
| 01:52 |
rubenwardy |
ywwv has been banned a few times on the forums already, for personal attacks |
| 01:52 |
rubenwardy |
there's no rule against trolling |
| 01:53 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Is there some reason why there isn't such a rule? |
| 01:53 |
CrazyTeacher |
??? |
| 01:53 |
kilbith |
so he continues and this shit keeps going |
| 01:53 |
rubenwardy |
CrazyTeacher: stable |
| 01:54 |
kilbith |
basically 99% of the communities enforce rules against trolling |
| 01:54 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> its also very ironic that gets gotten to the point that users on the forums have to warn others because of a lack of moderation |
| 01:54 |
CrazyTeacher |
Okay :-) |
| 01:54 |
kilbith |
I think rubenwardy is a coward |
| 01:54 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> If it's a "lack of rule" bug then who actually has the authority to fix it? |
| 01:54 |
kilbith |
unless it's about to ban me |
| 01:58 |
CrazyTeacher |
Then I have another question. On Github I only get the master when I enter "git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest.git". How do I get to the stable and do I have to pay attention to something about the minetes game and "Irrlicht"? |
| 02:01 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> If you want all the branches then I'd remove the --depth 1 and pull the whole repo. Then you can move around across versions freely. |
| 02:01 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> You don't need minetest_game to play minetest (you just need SOME game but you can find them on the Content tab once you get it running) |
| 02:02 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> you do need irrlicht if you want to build current/recent versions. |
| 02:03 |
CrazyTeacher |
Yes, I have already had experience, but our school's guideline stipulates that the Mintest Game should be used. Adjustments should then be made via the modifications |
| 02:08 |
CrazyTeacher |
"I'd remove the --depth 1 and pull the whole repo. Then you can move around across versions freely" How do I choose that then? I only know the procedure to start the server with the following command: "./bin/minetest --server" Which version would that be if I did this? |
| 02:10 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> git checkout branchname |
| 02:16 |

YuGiOhJCJ joined #minetest |

I rephrase the question: What do I have to enter in order to get the latest stable version with github? (And I pray to God that there will be an easy answer to that ^^) |
| 02:21 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Are you sure you need to build it from source from github? |
| 02:22 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> I only build from source myself to run dev versions of the engine. To just play, mod, etc. I use the one from FlatPak. |
| 02:24 |
CrazyTeacher |
It worked out quite well with the dev, if I only knew how to get the stable in the same way, then I would be happy :-) |
| 02:27 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> you cloned correct? cd into the dir, then git checkout stable-5 |
| 02:27 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> follow https://github.com/minetest/minetest/tree/stable-5 readme as build process changed from 5.4.* to 5.5-dev |
| 02:28 |
CrazyTeacher |
Ah okay, I think I figured it out myself: "wget https://github.com/minetest/minetest/archive/refs/heads/stable-5.zip" Do I have the current stable? |
| 02:29 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> if that downloads the src, than yeah |

CrazyTeacher |

| 03:02 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> and if you compile just the server, you dont need irrlichtmt |

<Warr1024> I can see why it might be funny but I just can't get past the intense cringe factor |

also i think from all people involved with minetest, rubenwardy is one of the nicest |
| 15:47 |
erlehmann |
but i may be biased because i like the book! |
| 15:49 |
erlehmann |
Warr1024 in an irc channel i made a bot that kickbanned people if 30% of ppl with voting rights (but at least 3 ppl) wanted them gone. rationale: if you manage to piss of a third of the regulars, maybe you should go elsewhere. |
| 15:49 |
erlehmann |
you got voting rights 180 seconds after first saying something (so ppl couldn't join en masse and kickban everyone) |
| 15:51 |
erlehmann |
Warr1024 is the intense cringe factor because it reads like GPT-2 or because you think the person must be stupid? |
| 15:54 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Stupid? No. I suspect they have some kind of other issue, though I'm no expert and couldn't say exactly what. I had suspected a language barrier, but they've insisted basically that not only is their English perfectly fine, but that it's everyone else who's wrong. |
| 15:55 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Also, I've never seen anything from any of the GPT series AI that had such a thorough lack of humility or self-awareness. |

we built a base together in a bugged mapchunk |
| 15:57 |
erlehmann |
basically a big 80x80x80 stone cube in the sky |
| 15:59 |
erlehmann |
btw, i think i have solved the mystery of the underground stone clouds |
| 15:59 |
erlehmann |
basically, there seems to exist a mapgen race condition in which a thin slice of map will be stone |
| 16:00 |
erlehmann |
and usually it is not noticeable, because a) stone, underground b) it is affected by cavegen |
| 16:00 |
erlehmann |
but if your game has underground areas that should be free of anything, well … |
| 16:00 |
macaw |
erlehmann: Good job! Sound like a difficult one to find. |
| 16:01 |
erlehmann |
then you sometimes get rectangular sheets of stone that can be like 20 wide and 200 long |
| 16:01 |
erlehmann |
basically i have only seen it in mineclone2 and mineclonia, because those store their nether and end dimensions underground |
| 16:02 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> OIC, I was wondering how you could tell, like maybe absence of ores ... but yeah, having a dimension down there would do it :-D |
| 16:02 |
erlehmann |
i am not sure why it is only a thin slice though. from my understanding it should be a full cube, like the bugged mapblock in which we built the base |
| 16:03 |
erlehmann |
Warr1024 i think you should be able to find a stone cloud under the void in mineclonia, if you start it with the seed “slime” and starve minetest of CPU resources |
| 16:03 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Actually makes me think about how funny it is when people talk about the need to add static typing to dynamic languages like Lua or JS because otherwise you end up with all these wrong-type bugs ... but meanwhile like 95% of the bugs I struggle with are caused by race conditions. |
| 16:04 |
erlehmann |
it will output a message that it failed to grab a mapblock it just generated at some point i think |
| 16:04 |
erlehmann |
i mean in the void under the overworld |
| 16:06 |
erlehmann |
macaw my best achievement is still exploding a tnt in a block that has not fully generated. you have to lag the game a lot for that. |
| 16:07 |

In weakly typed languages, the most common bugs I get are misspelled variable/function names |
| 16:41 |
rubenwardy |
Typing allows the IDE to be more useful, and also allows for compile time checking |
| 16:42 |
rubenwardy |
TypeScript and VSCode work very well together |
| 16:42 |

If you're getting race conditions, then I have no idea what you're doing |

misspelled variables are what i hate most about lua |
| 16:48 |
erlehmann |
you get a nil! you get a nil! and you get a nil! |
| 16:50 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> The "misspelled variables" thing is trivial to solve with linting, no need for typing at all |
| 16:50 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> You just have to define standards for environmental variables |
| 16:51 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> Luacheck is commonly used; globals to be read or written to are then defined in .luacheckrc |
| 16:52 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> At some point I had a dirty JS script when I was cleaning modlib up which did a similar job, but took all globals in a global localization line for granted and worked properly with my environments |
| 16:52 |
erlehmann |
luatic in python any typechecking will necessarily figure out a mistyped variable name |
| 16:53 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> Adding require to MT instead of relying on the global environment would be a step in the right direction in that regard, as it pretty much forces you to localize whatever you use. |
| 16:53 |
erlehmann |
because the typechecker will obviously not be able to get the value |
| 16:53 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> erlehmann: That's because Lua has way more powerful environmental variables |
| 16:53 |
MTDiscord |
<luatic> The environment is a table in Lua |

<Warr1024> ruben: re "most common errors" that makes certain assumptions about the population; in my case, having an IDE with completion, along with careful scope control, helps me to avoid those pretty easily. |
| 17:26 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> As far as race conditions go, yeah, people tend to assume it requires some kind of preemptive multitasking, but you can get races just fine with single-threaded async event loop stuff too. Any time you have sufficiently complex async task interdependency graphs, it's easy to miss a link in there and have something fire off before a dependency is finished. |

<luatic> The "misspelled variables" thing is trivial to solve with linting, no need for typing at all |
| 18:20 |

Linters are more of a work around. They don't know about the structure of tables/dictionaries. Luacheck allows specifying the structure of globals, but not args and locals |
| 18:21 |

Also, mistyped doesn't mean misspelt |

<Warr1024> IDE completion can sometimes fail, but I just copy/paste to get around this. Usually this only happens if I'm trying to access something shared from a different file, which should be a minority case anyway, for sanity's sake. |
| 19:35 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> If you accidentally mis-auto-complete something into a similar-looking but different name then you probably shouldn't have named things too similarly if they do different things to begin with. |
| 19:36 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Ultimately there are no technological tools that completely eliminate the need for programmer carefulness, and you just pick your system based on the kind of carefulness you want required of you. |
| 19:36 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> Some things are more restrictive and thus less error prone, while other are more permissive and let you do what you want more quickly, at the cost of you accepting the risks. |
| 19:38 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> I suppose it's possible I run into "wrong name/type" issues more often than I think but they're just pretty trivial to fix so they blend into the background and don't occupy a lot of mindspace. |
| 19:38 |
MTDiscord |
<Warr1024> On the other hand, when you try to do thing A then thing B, then thing B finishes before thing A does and you made thing C depend on B but forgot to depend on A, that's what often throws me for a loop. |

Warr1024: my point is that autocomplete often does suggest anything at all |
| 20:35 |
rubenwardy |
especially when it's in a different file |
| 20:36 |
rubenwardy |
type hints make IDEs so much more useful. They're also great for documenting expectations |
| 20:36 |
rubenwardy |
the correct approach to "programmer carefulness" is to assume that the programmer will make mistakes |
| 20:36 |
rubenwardy |
and they will make mistakes |
| 20:36 |
rubenwardy |
this is why we have tools like unit testings, static analysis, and .... types |
| 20:37 |

and tools that come to you at runtime to tell you that your code actually didn't compile right |
