00:22:59 n-tech we'll see. it'll become more pertinent when the API actually works 00:23:01 __uguu__ i want to be able to do jsonrpc over a unix socket to the infinity-next instance 00:23:05 n-tech API stuff with Laravel is disgustingly easy 00:23:16 n-tech for instance if I wanted to return a list of users 00:23:17 StephenLynx why using an unix socket instead of basic http? 00:23:18 n-tech it goes like 00:23:21 __uguu__ StephenLynx: overhead 00:23:27 StephenLynx lel 00:23:29 StephenLynx k then 00:23:31 __uguu__ seriouslu 00:23:32 n-tech public function getUsers() { return User::get(); } 00:23:37 n-tech this returns all the users in the database as JSON 00:23:38 StephenLynx o-k 00:23:50 n-tech and the interesting thing is that the classes have tags for what fields to omitt in JSON returns 00:23:51 __uguu__ if it what i was doing used http over loopback that'd explode the server 00:23:52 StephenLynx have you ran a benchmark to know how much you would save on what 00:23:58 StephenLynx ah 00:23:59 n-tech so sensitive data like password and email are omitted 00:24:01 StephenLynx what are you doing? 00:24:13 n-tech and IPs :^) 00:24:39 __uguu__ i want to be able to talk with the infinity-next instance, i.e. post, ban, unban, set settings 00:25:00 __uguu__ everything that the infinity-next instance can do i want to be able to do externally 00:25:01 n-tech you want to issue post commands to the api as well? 00:25:13 __uguu__ post commands at the very least 00:25:38 __uguu__ the only things that are required is post ban and delete 00:25:42 StephenLynx again, that doesnt need to go that low level. 00:25:55 __uguu__ StephenLynx: would you seriously want to do it over http? 00:26:01 __uguu__ that's retarded 00:26:08 StephenLynx I already do that in lynxchan. 00:26:16 n-tech A full-featured API is great but that's very complicated. At that point I would need to start using tools to build API documentation as well lol 00:26:16 StephenLynx and by default every request is using it. 00:26:23 StephenLynx >complicated 00:26:24 StephenLynx lel no 00:26:29 StephenLynx you are just bad. [...] 00:26:34 __uguu__ a GOOD api 00:26:38 __uguu__ a GOOD api is hard 00:26:42 n-tech very 00:26:44 StephenLynx no 00:26:44 __uguu__ an api is easy 00:26:44 StephenLynx is not 00:26:48 n-tech the issue isn't even technical 00:26:49 __uguu__ a GOOD api is not 00:26:50 n-tech it's organization 00:26:53 n-tech and logical 00:27:00 StephenLynx why a good api is hard? 00:27:03 n-tech and predictability 00:27:11 n-tech if every API call is different and your naming conventions suck 00:27:13 n-tech it's a shithouse 00:27:18 __uguu__ it's organization and careful high level design, both of which are not present in lynxchan :D 00:27:24 StephenLynx really? 00:27:26 n-tech oh my, shots fired 00:27:39 __uguu__ really, the code is getting to be almost as bad as vichan 00:27:42 __uguu__ except in js 00:27:45 StephenLynx hm hum 00:27:57 __uguu__ it's horrible 00:27:58 n-tech I don't want to bash on other people's code, I don't feel its appropriate 00:28:00 StephenLynx lol 00:28:01 n-tech but if you're feeling uh 00:28:05 n-tech picky 00:28:08 n-tech have you looked at mine yet? 00:28:10 __uguu__ dude, i complain about everything 00:28:12 n-tech I haven't gotten any strong feedback 00:28:25 __uguu__ n-tech: yours is pretty good because of the insane coding standards 00:28:31 n-tech uguu ~ 00:28:43 n-tech copypaste likes it but I have trouble taking that seriously because anything to him is better than what we use now 00:28:47 n-tech so I take it with a lot of salt 00:28:47 n-tech lol
