        the timing for this might be *perfect*.

      • samj1912
        I wouldn't mind any of them
      • 2017-04-27 11752, 2017

      • samj1912
        But none of them will take me
      • 2017-04-27 11759, 2017

      • ruaok
        ok, here is my thinking...
      • 2017-04-27 11705, 2017

      • samj1912
        They are booked or don't want to work on someone else's project
      • 2017-04-27 11725, 2017

      • ruaok
        so, working recommendations engines is out?
      • 2017-04-27 11745, 2017

      • samj1912
        Working on anything not under the prof is out
      • 2017-04-27 11750, 2017

      • CatCat has quit
      • 2017-04-27 11758, 2017

      • samj1912
        Something related to the number of papers they have to publish
      • 2017-04-27 11759, 2017

      • ruaok kicks all 10 professors
      • 2017-04-27 11705, 2017

      • ruaok
        publish or perish.
      • 2017-04-27 11712, 2017

      • samj1912
        They don't want wasted btech labor
      • 2017-04-27 11725, 2017

      • samj1912
        And it's not like we will be contributing to anything significant
      • 2017-04-27 11737, 2017

      • ruaok
        I hate academia. so many fluffy and crunchy layers of bullshit.
      • 2017-04-27 11750, 2017

      • ruaok
        I disagree.
      • 2017-04-27 11754, 2017

      • samj1912
        Just help their PhD students with their research
      • 2017-04-27 11708, 2017

      • ruaok
        I think our recommendation stuff will be much more real life than their academic day dreaming.
      • 2017-04-27 11726, 2017

      • samj1912
        Well we as in, us btech students, doing research under them
      • 2017-04-27 11750, 2017

      • ruaok
        sad.
      • 2017-04-27 11705, 2017

      • iliekcomputers__
        samj1912: that is sad
      • 2017-04-27 11714, 2017

      • samj1912
        One of the profs called most of the coding I do petty and that any high school passout could do it
      • 2017-04-27 11725, 2017

      • samj1912
        He said, real men do research
      • 2017-04-27 11737, 2017

      • 2017-04-27 11738, 2017

      • iliekcomputers__ is fed up with incompetency in Indian academia also
      • 2017-04-27 11703, 2017

      • ruaok
        well, time to make a point of proving him wrong, no?

      • samj1912
        They take our grades more into account than our coding abilities
      • 2017-04-27 11721, 2017

      • samj1912
        Which isn't a problem for me. But I disagree with the fact. The best coders of our batch aren't even in the top 10 grade wise

        in influx_listenstore.py, the code that checks incoming listens has a bug that I noticed.
      • 2017-04-27 11745, 2017

      • ruaok
        namely, it current assumes that an incoming batch of listens to the write call are all by the same user.
      • 2017-04-27 11752, 2017

      • ruaok
        which is not always going to be the case.
      • 2017-04-27 11759, 2017

        so, the function needs to

        :O
      • 2017-04-27 11703, 2017

      • ruaok
        1) find all the users
      • 2017-04-27 11723, 2017

      • ruaok
        2) then for each user, do the fetch timestamps and check listens for duplicates.
      • 2017-04-27 11742, 2017

      • ruaok
        it affects the code you already have up, but I think we should work to merge that first.

        Freso: So someone else (ICMD) wants to duplicate MB? Is it run by anyone you guys know? Possibly someone who previously worked for MeB? Sounds like a great validation for hat you guys have already achieved/

        Sophist-UK: I was just thinking it might contain or inspire some possibly useful thoughts for the Picard work tag thing.

        They are basically saying that works are hierarchical and multi-dimensional which we know. There might be mileage for identifying extra tags other than Work i.e. Composer Catalogue Ref(s). And could be useful for the related MBS tickets to provide support for work attributes.
