You're doing good work, Freso!

don't let that slacker get away :D

no ideas?

boblablah_: Maybe the forum is a better place to ask at this hour/time? https://community.metabrainz.org/c/musicbrainz/...

sanks fresco

requests vs urllib2, opinions?

mayhem: Gentlecat: ping ^^

requests

will have to add a dependency then

bitmap: we have a weird increase in 400 & 503 since few days, i suspect something not working well on backends; see http://stats.metabrainz.org/dashboard/db/mbstat...

few users reported issues related to this too

[picard] zas closed pull request #562: PICARD-906:Use globalInstance of threadpool as default (master...globi) https://git.io/vMw7x

getting 502 bad gateway from listenbrainz.org

iliekcomputers: on it

zas: cool :)

fixed

alastairp: i upgraded packages and rebooted babar, not sure what was the cause of 502s, but everything is back now

ok, thanks. flask sometimes gets sad with listenbrainz

[listenbrainz-server] paramsingh opened pull request #113: Write a python script for moving data from LB alpha to beta (big-query...db-move) https://git.io/vDv4k

mayhem: ping, PR done ^^, please review when you get back from chi-town :P

zas where is rahulr's gsoc code?

iliekcomputers: you don't need to ask for reviews. We all get notifications on new PRs and will get to it when we have time

ah nvm

alastairp: okay, i'll keep that in mind :)

zas ping

pong

i have a proposal in mind about mbids and picard

I was thinking of adding a way to view some info on right clicking mbid to open a dialog and displaying some info

currently if I input any of the mbids and have inbuilt search on, it just opens a browser tab with the link

yep, since we have now inbuilt search it makes sense, feel free to propose a PR ;)

also I wanted to expand on this, for maybe a gsoc proposal, I wanted to do away with the lookup in browser button as much as possible for a more integrated UI

I explained it here https://community.metabrainz.org/t/picard-surve...

[picard] zas closed pull request #599: PICARD-950: Don't open same folder multiple times (master...patch-2) https://git.io/vMhA8

metabrainz/picard#1939 (master - 32e531d : Laurent Monin): The build passed.

Change view : https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/compare/bd...

Build details : https://travis-ci.org/metabrainz/picard/builds/...

zas: SSL error on community: “community.metabrainz.org uses an invalid security certificate” “The certificate expired on 27/01/2017 12:55.”

hmmm cert expired, i think nginx wasn't reloaded

on it

sup peeps, I assume lookups are considerably cheaper/faster than searches, right?

r_dunn: Possibly. zas?

r_dunn: On one hand, lookups need to make a lot of SQL calls to various places to compile the information to send back, so it's heavier on the database, OTOH, the search server in itself is heavy, but (IIUC) stores most of the MB data internally, so doesn't actually hit the database on searches.

Oh, wow. Firefox is very determined to not let me visit community.meb now. Oh, because it's using HSTS.

zas: Please ping when it's fixed. :)

Freso: I see, so you're saying the search server caches a lot of data? I wonder what the cost for each is, I mean if a lookup is roughly the same as a search, but if searches have a good few cache misses, then perhaps lookups are better from a user pov.

Freso: i'm on it, still looking for a fix

r_dunn: Well, they're different things. Lookups are for when you know what you want ("artist with this specific MBID") and searches are for when you don't ("an artist called Angel").

zas: Do you have any insight to r_dunn's question? (Is a search query lighter/heavier than a lookup one?)

And yes, I know you're on the forum thing. You said so less than half an hour ago. I merely requested a ping for when you've figured it out. :)

lookups are very fast atm, but they don't provide all features searches do

Freso: Yeah I know, but I'm trying to develop an algorithm to verify what I'm getting back from a search, especially since lucene's scoring isn't spot on. So I need to make several additional calls to do so, i.e. are the tracks associated with a release the same as the tracks in a folder I'm scanning.

I can do it many ways, but it's probably cheaper to do a lookup on what I believe is the correct release, and then do some processing on my end to verify that it looks to the correct.

( r_dunn: Also, you should consider using a proper IRC client. :) )

Freso: lol, I'm a man of simple pleasures. Yeah, probs should...

Freso, Done. ;)

:)

Freso, Anyway, when the forums are back in order, I might post my question in more detail, cheers for the info!

👍

Freso: community is back, cert (finally) renewed, i upgraded system and discourse in the process
