I'm totally happy with that schedule.

sebas is around, but claims he's busy writing

we may be able to get him out for a mountain trip one day

do we still have a way to pull up an artists from a row id via the web interface?

ruaok: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/42

ah, thanks!

first artists in the MB database: various artists, Massive Attack

representative of ruaok's music tastes?

alastairp: yes

ruaok: can i safely remove primoprime ? (todo)

not sure, I would have to read the xen docs.

it has a lot of memory allocated to it compare to others

i'm currently upgrade cosgrove

s/upgrade/upgrading/

cosgrove only has 512M atm

i would like to raise it a bit

ah, I see. sure, fine by me.

is it possible to modify allocated ram on the fly ? do you remember how ? (or i google for it ofc)

I dont. I have only created one or two VMs and didn't do much else.

You cannot change ram on the fly

(At least, you couldn't when I ran xen installs ~3 years ago)

xm mem-set <-- i didnt try yet

it seems to work :)

you can reduce or increase within limits of memory_static_max

but else i guess i need to change the config

and reboot the vm

love from support@ > This is a really user unfriendly site, confusing and clunky to use compared with PRS

ouch. burn.

:'(

for info, i was able to change cosgrove memory on the fly, using xm mem-max then xm mem-set, i decrease pinoprime memory a bit too

hmmm ... it doesnt work, free still report old mem, though it is modified on xm list

so i guess a reboot is needed for it to take effect

yeah, I'm sure of that

ruaok: can we postpone the gateway stuff ? i would like to focus on cosgrove upgrade + new graphite install

sure

lol :)

is tintin used for anyting else than graphite ?

s/ting/thing/

if it is the case we'll be able to remove it once cosgrove will do the job

I dont think so.

bitmap: ^ deployed on beta

1:53 PM <beqn> saying that, if min_ts is going to exist, it to should also be exclusive

1:53 PM <beqn> to allow easy timestamp + count paging in the other direction

1:55 PM <beqn> then the page could be specified in any one of three ways: max_tx+count, min_ts+count, max_ts+min_ts (with a count ceiling? this last one is my least favourite as it's not clear what to do if you hit the max response count)

ruaok:

(though, I just saw him go to lunch)

2:01 PM <beqn> so, I think what needs to happen, is the listenstore code needs to come into compliance with the docs

2:01 PM <beqn> and maybe the docs need to be made a bit more clear

thanks, beqn

does anyone know how to mock now() in postgres? samphippen? beqn?

(for testing)

the easier way would be to freeze python datetime.now

alastairp: btw, blame the gyspy tunes on discover weekly. :)

ohh flaneur!

oh, I blame many things on discover weekly

mine this week was more miss than hits

oh you too?

first time I had to skip tracks.

can we blame the unexpected rain on DW? thanks Discover Weekly!

alastairp: http://news.slashdot.org/story/15/10/07/223246/...

alastairp: don't mock globals

ruaok: are you surprised?

strictly: don't mock things you don't control

hmm, right

so given a method that compares 2 dates, I should just do the compare, and get the data from arguments, for example?

Gentlecat: every 10 minutes (cache timeout), when someone visits the page, they'll generate a new set of stats

so for ~every 10 minutes, we have a total number of items for each category

it's going miss data, and it won't be regular, since if no one visits the site, no stats will be generated

why do we need to save it?

so we can show the chart

also, for 1 person every 10 minutes, the front page will load a little slower

but we have creation timestamps, right?

can't we just calculate the points from them? or that would be too expensive?

we do, but this is cheaper

right

ok

we could have an offline processor which periodically computes the most recent stats

that's one more moving part, though

samphippen: I wish we could get you here to give some talks. but I fear most of it would go over everyone's head

alastairp: if you're comparing two dates

just pass in the dates

and then compare them

you should come for a visit immediately after you get back from boston!

right

no

so, do we need to test at a level higher then?

no flying to BCN for drinks?

heartless bastard.

if I want a database test, which runs the sql query, what should I test?

should I do a database test?

ruaok: fyi, https://groups.google.com/a/ismir.net/forum/#!t... he's here for 6 weeks

he had some interest in talking with us, but wasn't too impressed by the features

I wonder if we can take some ideas

yea, we've been chatting a bit.

we should go to lunch next week.

ah, cool!

SMINT could be relevant for us. :)

bingo

I'm curious as to how they're storing data

ok, I'm down. :)

Who runs the bookbrainz twitter account now?

Gentlecat: still here?

ugh, I left

sorry

np

do you have some time to look at code?

ugh...
