jsup 2.1 - investor's relief (experiment on separation of investment and SNS)

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/jsup-2-1-investor-s-relief-experiment-on-separation-of-investment-and-sns Hello, this is @joviansummer(witness: @jswit). I'm starting a new experiment regarding my @jsup vote service. The purpose of this experiment is to separate STEEM investment and social interaction(posting/commenting). For many people, writing a post daily(literally 365 posts per year) is not easy. It's not fun, and mandatory daily post only written for self-voting delegation service tends to result in useless low-quality content. I hope this new function of @jsup will reduce those posts, and also make it a bit more easy to invest in STEEM without worrying about daily posting. I think pressure of daily posting significantly undermines Steem as SNS. It's not fun. This is how it works: From 11:45 PM to 11:50 PM every night(reference time zone is GMT+9), @jsup checks if eligible delegators wrote something and received daily v...

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/making-a-table-format-on-discord Hello, this is @joviansummer. My code revision of the automated missed-block reporter for witness Discord channel continues. After implementing mentioning(pinging) capability , I'm trying to convert reporting format to tabular form. It was requested by witness @steemchiller). On Steemit, creating a table is easy thanks to markdown table support. On Discord, unfortunately, table is not supported. Discord only supports a limited subset of markdown and table is not available. Thus, it seems the only way to make something similar is to use code block. In code block, text alignment possible because every character occupies the same width. You can see the difference from the screenshot below: Now, I need to make sure each field occupies pre-determined length. Thankfully, python provides a really useful capability called f-string. Here is an example. name = '@joviansumm...

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/how-to-mention-ping-user-on-a-discord-channel-with-web-hook Hello, this is @joviansummer. I've been providing automated hourly report of missed blocks on witness Discord channel. Considering witness @faisalamin's suggestion, I did some research and test to find out how to mention(ping) discord users when their witness nodes are missing blocks. The reporter process uses web hook to send missed blocks report. Discord's developer document for web hook is at https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook . I decided to write this post because it took me a bit of time to figure out how to ping a user. It might be of a little help for anyone interested in working with Discord web hook. When you use Discord with your web browser, mentioning someone is simple. You just type Discord username with preceding '@'. If you mention Discord user joviansummer for example, you just type @joviansu...
