But even that wasn't actually too difficult. It more or less Just Worked™. :)
colbydray, yeah, it looks like it was a lot of work to track them all down. That's what it takes to keep a page like that up-to-date. well, that and people willing to "adopt" the page and keep an eye on it.

I think I've found a bug in the ws2 API, but before reporting it I just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong
2017-04-18 10837, 2017
agentsim
when using ws/2/recording, the following inc string works just fine "aliases+releases+artist-credits+artist-rels+work-rels+tags+release-groups"
2017-04-18 10817, 2017
agentsim
lol, n/m, in pasting that URL I see my problem :)

nope, got the wrong URL, so here's my question, using ws/2/release with inc "artists+artist-credits+release-groups+artist-rels+aliases+tags" works just fine
2017-04-18 10821, 2017
agentsim
but using ws/2/release with the same inc string, but specifying recording=xyz tells me "artists is not a valid parameter for the release resource"
2017-04-18 10833, 2017
agentsim
is that a bug, or am I misunderstanding something

agentsim, can you paste the working and non-working requests? I'd like to see the full URLs.
And if I get it working I will certainly document it for others.

CallerNo6: if you're around when agensim comes back... Those are two different queries - one is lookup, the other is browse
2017-04-18 10848, 2017
alastairp
the second is actually invalid because you can't do a browse-by-recording when also specifying a release. Perhaps the server should return a more specific error there instead of giving an error about the includes
so, I have no idea how long this process will take or if we have a hope of ever completing it. because spain.

the limits are good enough for collect money for a few bronzes. if we get completely shutdown by paypal, then we stop accepting payments there, look for an alternative and then take a few years to drain the account.
2017-04-18 10831, 2017
ruaok
but, we need to wait for Gentlecat to finish the EUR support on the site.
2017-04-18 10858, 2017
ruaok
so, the answer to your quesiton, in a typical roundabout way is: yes. let's wait.

Gentlecat: the main thing to know is that some people may type this in by hand because some muppet printed the damn invoiced we mailed them.

2017-04-18 10844, 2017
Gentlecat
you mean that they are typing "/payment" part and ignore "?currency=EUR", right?
2017-04-18 10827, 2017
ruaok
or just get it wrong.
2017-04-18 10848, 2017
ruaok
I'd like to remove any and all possibilities that they might get it wrong.
2017-04-18 10803, 2017
ruaok
a lot of these people work for high tech companies, but are confuzzled by things like the web.
2017-04-18 10842, 2017
ruaok
and nothing stops them from selecting the wrong currency, which is why we want to only give them one option.
2017-04-18 10858, 2017
ruaok
or if they land on the payment page, make it very clear that they need to choose the correct one.
2017-04-18 10808, 2017
ruaok
also, did we implement a feature that mails us when a payment comes in?
2017-04-18 10813, 2017
Gentlecat
just saying that this limitation is kind of artificial unless payment currency is defined on their metabrainz account
2017-04-18 10833, 2017
Gentlecat
but they don't need to use an account to pay anyway, so
2017-04-18 10821, 2017
ruaok
it is totally artificial and the intended goal.
2017-04-18 10845, 2017
ruaok
and yes, we could add currency type to their account, but then we conflate account types.
2017-04-18 10855, 2017
ruaok
one account is being used by bizdev people to sign up.
2017-04-18 10809, 2017
ruaok
then the account should be used by devops/engineering/sysadming to use our services.
2017-04-18 10823, 2017
ruaok
and then it could also get used for accounting. eww.
2017-04-18 10845, 2017
ruaok
and if we require accounting to log in in order to pay, we'd never ever see another payment again.
2017-04-18 10821, 2017
Quesito
I agree with ruaok, Gentlecat--this is needs to be as simple and clear as possible. Just in the feedback I've received in the last two weeks--the folks in charge of paying us are not web savvy.

I think the least amount of options given the better.....as we try to continue to simplify and streamline accounting as much as possible--we should have supporters contributing in a regular currency type--without any option for altering. Everytime there is one small error in accounting it's about a 3-5 days to clean up--and we don't have large accounting
2017-04-18 10836, 2017
Quesito
dept to handle these cases--which means it takes time from other projects....
2017-04-18 10832, 2017

sorry...maybe I should be writing this on the ticket instead...
2017-04-18 10856, 2017

Gentlecat: like the switch idea for the donation page! this could aid us too in knowledge base for donations of eur vs usd (or perhaps we have that knowledge already, I donno yet...)

Quesito
the payment currency is defined in our invoicing system--and needs to stay one currency. turns out accounting software is not super flexible....I'll be AFK for a bit but back soon if you want to discuss more, I'm open to any ideas that will continue to simplify and streamline the system....
Gentlecat: yeah, we can't really move more accounting tasks into meb.org -- that would be a major undertaking. and may never fly with accounts payable departments the world over.

bitmap: do you have any thoughts on connection pooling to rabbitmq?
2017-04-18 10831, 2017

LB is going to have 300 or so workers and a good chunk of those will likely open connections to rabbitmq.

bitmap
not really, I haven't looked into it before
2017-04-18 10810, 2017

I guess we might have to figure out something then
to me that suggests one connection from the master process which can create channels on a per thread basis that is closed once the incoming request is served.
