And I'll send the ball on to chirlu!

chirlu: It was you that added the "nostalgia edition" DR, right?

Yes. Those three tickets are of the type “Bring back $something as it used to be!”, which is why I called this nostalgia edition.

I don’t think we have any plans for that, so I’d like to have them wontfixed.

Make 'merica grate again?

(For the lazy ones.)

Trump edition?

wontfix, wontfix, not sure

bitmap: thank you and your fellow cityfolk for rebuffing that boffin, BTW!

Would require loading all the URL cleanup stuff on every page.

Or loading on demand for the popup, which somewhat defies the idea (no load time).

Missing entities *definitely* wontfix

ruaok: he won't be coming back :)

The other two I don't mind

I didn't vote for 7564, but I could see the use

And yeah, MBS-7501 is definitely a wontfix.

6396... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But on the other hand, we've done work to make it so there's only one place to do things, and adding that back would go against that

bitmap: +100

15:49:19 < bitmap> wontfix, wontfix, not sure

:P

I guess we'll DR 6396 some other day then. :)

http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-3722 !

So, close the first two and leave the other to rot while open?

chirlu: Yeah.

OK

Will 3722 be "Fixed" by the "unified search and browse interface" getting done, bitmap?

nope

I guess we need to come up with a new next step for 3722 now that the mailing lists are gone ;)

kepstin: That's not hard though.

requires some additional work on MBS to expose the /all endpoint

Anyway, I think the next step for that ticket is for CJ_ to implement it in the SOLR project.

so I told ruchiranga not to implement a UI for that

Okay.

my impression is that the results aren't really merged atm - it basically searches multiple things in parallel and returns multiple sets of results?

Should I make a discussion about it on Discourse about "what [people] would like to see here"?

bitmap: Does ruchiranga's code rely on that unified search endpoint?

no, I told him not to do anything that requires that

It might be easier and saner for CJ_ to just disregard what ijabz may have done for the current SEARCH server.

Though that brings us back to scratch.

But eh.

CJ_ bitmap, final thoughts on that?

I'm not sure what the decision needed was :P

If not, that's what I'm going to go forward with: MBS-3722 being dependent on SOLR project getting finished and SOLR project having a unified search interface thingy.

sure

If someone's unhappy with that, they have about 10 seconds to object.

I'll make it so.

</BANG>

Thanks for your attention. :)

tbh, now that the site is indexed, we're really competing with doing a google search for "site:musicbrainz.org some keywords" with this unified search project

(which, for me, returns the release by madonna as the first result)

ruaok: You don't think Trump is the best of the three remaining options? :P

(for Republican nominees, anyway)

LordSputnik: are the other two options "Sony Music" and "Mutual Nuclear Annihilation"?

I thought MNA was Trump?

reosarevok: Ted Cruz is a nutcase who's both more likely to get into the White House and has worse policies. Don't know about Rubio though :P

LordSputnik: THAT>

I always thought that Trump was a decoy for Cruz.

not gegen elend :D

I turn 18 four days before election day... who knows if I even want to vote then :)

gcilou: if the option is crazy Republican nutjob and literally anyone else, please do vote

^ that

Save us from them :p

lol, I will vote :P

there is only one non-nutjob in the running.

Hillary may be untrustowrthy, but at least she isn't some redneck climate-change denying bible basher/fascist

Bernie's pretty cool but I think super delegates have screwed him over

gcilou: There's always the Green Party ❤️

hehe

kepstin: each party hosts preliminary votes (from what I can tell, either "primaries" or "caucuses"). The majority vote chooses the Republican candidate. The majority vote plus some extra party elite votes chooses the Democratic candidate

Caucuses seem to be some weird "move around a room" thing, while primaries are more traditional voting

and when they can't be bothered to count the votes anymore, they flip a coin and decide who to assign their delegates to

:P

in canada, each party chooses (in advance, and however they like, but it usually involves a vote by party members and interested registered citizens) someone to be their party leader.

that leader is then elected as a member of parliament, the same as any other mp

kepstin: that's how it works in the UK

and the party that wins the most seats picks the prime minister

It's because we basically have the same political system, as does Australia

uh parliament, prime minister? lol, long live 'murica !

i think the theory is that the elected members of parliament choose amongst themselves one person to be the prime minister, but in reality with parties the candidates for the position are picked well in advance

gcilou: but I like having a political system which sort of works ;)

hehe yeahhh. I guess that's the goal ;)

there's some awkwardness where it's possible that the leader of a party doesn't get elected, but other members of the party do :)

"sort of"...

Freso: ie. one that doesn't shut down the public sector twice in 4 years ;)

(in that case, usually one of the other members gives up their seat, and a byelection is held where the party leader runs in their place)

honestly, I don't understand politics whatsoever. especially us politics

Does anyone understand US politics?

kepstin: haha, except not if you're the Liberal Democrats in the UK, where they went from 60 MPs to just 4

I doubt it :)

CJ_: If you didn't see the link before: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/SOLR-25

Gentlecat: would you be ok with doing http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8838? kinda boring but useful

sure, boring is OK as long as I'm helping

:)

ruaok, Freso: do we need to save / backup anything from Melange before it goes down?

no, can we please add fire??

:p

I meant the data, not the code

Although honestly I'm not very convinced the new system is more than a side step in quality of life :p

if I can avoid ever touching it again, great. :)

Assuming it's exactly the same as for the GCI

ruaok: the pre-ngs tables are backed up somewhere in case we need them, right?

just wondering if I need to do anything before dropping them

Was Melange really that bad then?

LordSputnik: it was better than ruaok makes it sound. But not much

reosarevok: you never used it in the early days. eeek.

reosarevok: I don't really have any history with Melange, so I wouldn't know if there's anything there that needs saving.

bitmap: unsure. I suppose the last pre-NGS dumps should contain everthing therein.

Freso: I was mostly thinking that maybe you wanted to save some GSoC history or something

for archival sake, we might want to save a copy, but be very careful with disk space on totoro.

reosarevok: I'm not sure I have more than public access anyway...

ruaok: I hope you don't judge MusicBrainz' data by how it was in the early days... :)

don't get me started. :)

You're too lazy to start anyway. ;)

Leftmost: Did you log in to Discourse since the SSO was replaced?

lol

ruaok: should i create a ticket to have Purple Haze Levels in MB ? http://morefuzz.net/atmosphere-levels/ ;)

"I love that people would rather freely give away money for instructions to cancel Tidal than actually pay for Tidal."

I also voted for that

natta guys <3
