This means that JSON output might change a bit over the next few weeks.

But hopefully it means that we'll Soon™ be able to declare it as "stable" and thus "promise" that it won't change anymore.

(This also means that if there are any JSON WS bugs you've found, now is the time to report them, if they're not already reported! :))

to be honest, i'm kind of surprised http://mbjs.kepstin.ca/ still works (using json ws)

thanks Freso :) this one in particular is not a bug :)

search is broken tho, i haven't checked why

probably my fault :)

thanks again

Freso: I missed that...so... good call!

drsaunde, the true Canadian among us. :p

Freso, I'm think of making all pictures b&w. What say you?

Gopher it.

Awesome. And also, should I scour the interweb for info on bitmap to make a bio for him or wait for him?

gcilou: "bitmap is an uncompressed image format, in use since..." :P

^yes. I will use that :P

:D

And use a really pixelated BMP picture of him.

all pics are officially black and white

haha

LordSputnik: I hope you haven't read my recent code. I am making some serious changes including a rebase of bb-134. I will tell you when I am done with that.

stanislas: ok, haven't yet

the branches weren't mergable

Freso, accurate, no? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/boYhF...

rest of the pages https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ZZbRP... https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/kT3si...

ah and Leftmost

Yay! What to do for Leftmost bio?

"He speaks Irish." Done.

Sorry.

"He speaks Irish and is currently trying to learn to play the bodhrán."

Done now.

funny

serious?

Sure.

If he doesn't like it, he can send you something else.

kk. Is this good for the task?

Submit the PR and let Gentlecat look over the code. :)

Ok cool

Otherwise, it looks good to me.

But I want Gentlecat to approve its code.

I'd wait for ruaok as well

Naw. He's unlikely to be around before Monday.

correct.

I mean, I can approve code, but I can't approve the content

I'll approve the content.

ok

If ruaok doesn't like it... too bad.

(We can fix it later. It doesn't have to go live, or even get merged, until ruaok has approved of it.)

yeah, fuck that guy

^

Freso: careful, he'll know your address soon

Oh, he already knows my current address.

if he doesn't already

i know his address already

:p

well, I'd start building some kind of defense then

Naw. Why do you think I'm moving?

Gentlecat, PR https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

same as stanislas, will try to look today

LordSputnik: Should be fine now.

stanislas: great, will take a look in a few hours

LordSputnik: I will be adding some more docstrings in a while.

LordSputnik: I want to reach 4000 lines added :)

LordSputnik: But that won't be some critical changes like those I've just done.

Freso, reosarevok needs extra class that's why ;D

I thought it might be. :)

Nah, I gave a better desc. as a line note :)

Yeah, so I mostly have whitespace comments.

The Python looks fine AFAICT. I don't know how OCD Gentlecat is about the HTML stuff. If he's as OCD as me, there's a bunch of small things that need fixing. If he's not, probably a bunch less. ;)

Freso, I've been editing the whitespace :) I'll push it soon

gcilou: 👍

Freso, what's up with this "If you do <br/><br/>, you probably actually want </p><p>"?

gcilou: Two line breaks usually denote a new paragraph.

In a HTML a new paragraph is made by ending one (</p>) and creating a new one (<p>).

*In HTML

Oh so instead of just breaking up the paragraph, just do several <p>s?

(If we're on HTML 5, the </p> isn't needed, I think.)

Yeah.

Ok I gotcha

Freso: as far as html5 is concerned, the parser is required to deal with <p> with missing end, but it's still preferred to close them.

kepstin: Cheers :)

(the <p> with no end actually dates back to pre-standardization html, the fact that it's still in the parser is for legacy compatibility)

Yeah.

the parser also has to deal with things like people using xml-style self-closing elements <foo/> inside an html document; iirc it explicitly ignores any / before a closing bracket.

Freso, better?

God I really don't like how Facebook slows everything down.

gcilou: I'll check it out in a sec.

ok

LordSputnik: I've just added you as a collaborator in my CaliBBre repo.

LordSputnik: You've said something like that you want to move it under bookbrainz-ws, so I just thought that this might be a start.

* under bookbrainz

Sorry for delay

JesseW: !

opatel99: I'll live. :)

gcilou: Sending an e-mail, then I'll look.

okey!

LordSputnik: I've just seen my CaliBBre plugin from 2 months ago, it's so shit I can't believe It has ever been accepted. I've had like 35 commits with no valid commit messages and the code is so ugly. I am now sorting out that mess.

gcilou: At a glance, the HTML looks much nicer with all that stray whitespace removed. ;)

Yup! I think so too :)

stanislas: I had no idea what PEP8 was until zas destroyed by pull request with it. If I didn't learn anything else from GCi, I at least learned PEP8.

Like 2nd day of GCi I think ^

PEP8 is a good thing to have learned if you're ever going to collaborate on anything using Python. :)

gcilou: No new comments, but I have two unaddressed comments. :) (One of them I think I wrote in the last batch, but maybe I didn't?)

About the style?

oh I see now

opatel99: Not very. :)

I frequently re-realise how "chirlu" works.

I got that one pretty early. Reversed.

Freso: 'Freso' stands for something other than your name ?

LordSputnik probably turns into "I am Lord Voldemort" after some manipulation.

No.

I got how Freso worked early but just figured "chirlu" out like yesterday

:)

gcilou: I have no idea what gcilou is. GC makes sense or it could be GCi but what is ilou/lou?

lou is a nickname of mine. Caroline->line->lina->linalou->lou/louie lol

gcilou: sorry, not sure I'll have a proper bio til next week. what you have works for now :)

bitmap: what, "An uncompressed image format..." ? ;)

That's ok. just using wikipedia definition of bitmap ;)

(Old man Freso is old.)

yes

Thank you bitmap.

ruaok: hope your flight isn't affected by this huge storm on the east coast :/

Freso, I just experimented with the style, and the way I have it now is the only way to work. I will rename "reo" to "short"

👍

Freso: /query ?

Gopher it.

Not sure I have any photos where I don't look like an angry mountain man.

Yay! Thanks! you want to see what others have said? I have a photo of you from the summit :)

Leftmost: Why? The rest of us have accurate depictions.

Do I look like an angry mountain man in it, or more like a friendly mountain man?

and what's wrong with looking like an angry mountain man

friendly. looking at laptop

Clint, I'm really very friendly at least 20% of the time.

Example bios would be appreciated.

Leftmost, bitmap's pretty well written https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/boYhF...
