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

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 @joviansummer just like you do on Steemit.

But when sending a message via web hook, it doesn't work that way. If you send a message like "Hello, @joviansummer" to a Discord channel via web hook, it won't ping. Sending something like "Hello, @everyone" works, but pinging a specific user doesn't.

If you want to ping a user via web hook message, you need to use ID instead of username. ID is a numerical identifier assigned to each user. If ID of joviansummer is 12345, then you need to send message like "Hello, <@12345>" to ping joviansummer.

Here is how you find ID of a specific user. You need to enable "developer mode" from Discord user settings. Go to user settings and to "advanced" settings. There is a switch to enable developer mode. Once developer mode is enabled, you can right-click a Discord user and select "copy user ID".

Now I'm revising the missed block reporter code. It will take a few days to deploy a new version.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

Nuitka - 파이썬 스크립트를 바이너리 실행 파일로 변환

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/nuitka 파이썬과 관련해서 재미 있는 프로젝트를 찾았습니다. Nuitka라는 프로젝트입니다. https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka 파이썬 스크립트를 C언어로 변환한 후에 컴파일하여 바이너리 실행 파일로 만들어준다고 합니다. 아직 사용해 보진 않았는데요. 라즈베리파이처럼 작은 컴퓨터에서 컴퓨팅 자원이 아쉬운 상황이라면 파이썬 스크립트를 직접 실행하는 것보다 Nuitka로 컴파일한 바이너리를 실행하면 자원이 절약될 것 같기도 합니다. 소스 코드를 공개하지 않아야 할 경우(코드에 패스워드가 포함되어 있는 경우 등)에도 사용할 수 있을 것 같네요. 어쨌든 나중에 필요할 수도 있을 듯해서 여기에 메모해 둡니다. @joviansummer의 스팀 프로젝트 스팀 증인노드를 운영중입니다. @jswit에 증인투표해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.
