#metabrainz

is there a listenbrainz test server?

Freso: not handling comments does make this easier to an extent. if you're sure then I can remove that. I will keep the structure in such a way that it still supports adding voter comments / other data, though

I'm still going to do some fixing-up of this nature

!startvote topic [hello, hello 123, hello world]

+hello some more comments

+hello 123 something

+hello world 123 something

it's going to add a vote for the option that has the longest continous containing in the string

However.

xyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyx +vote xyxyxyxy - no way to handle these cleanly IMO, so not going to

a vote command must be at the start of a line

Leo_Verto: is there a way to change the regex of a command based on a config option? I want to have a config option for the abstain character ("\") but it doesn't seem like I can base my regexes on it since they can't access "self.config"

suriv: no there isn't, but it's a good idea -> https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-283

LB-283: Listenbrainz test server

bitmap, yvanzo: there was a drop in the numbers of 304s for mb.o on Jan, 10th, are you aware of it ? explanation ?

weird

Hi

SoumyaMakkar1234: hello!

I have completed 4 tasks of METABRAINZ

hi SoumyaMakkar1234

What will i get???

a t-shirt, since you completed 3 tasks

😃😃😃

Ok thanks

But in total i completed 8 tasks

yeah, but the t-shirt is the only prize you're sure to get based on number of tasks alone

if you're a finalist you'll get a hoodie

Ohh

But how do i become a finalist

finalists are decided by MetaBrainz themselves, and they base it on a variety of factors - quality of tasks, communication with the mentors and the wider community, general behaviour, etc. to be considered for a finalist position you need to be in the top 10 people who've completed the most tasks.

from those top 10, 5 will become finalists

see the GCI FAQ: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/faq

and gci have unofficial IRC channel #gci-students, you can ask and discuss there too. :D

oh yes, but it's terribly inactive unfortunately

yeah, just a spam bot there :D

with no student chat activities this week

also, the op of the channel doesn't show up at all for some reason

Freso, is "Attend Meeting" task claim-able this week?

haruute[m]: No.

thanks

naiveai: I absolutely think comments should not be a concern at this point. I'd also say that whitespace shouldn't be allowed in voting options for now if it adds to code complexity. Longer vote options also introduce more room for typos etc., so the vote starter should be sure to keep vote options short and simple.

Freso: actually I found a pretty elegant way to solve the whitespace issue.

basically, I'm greedily matching the voting string after the '+' or '-' to one of the options

so

!startvote topic [foo, foo bar, foo bar baz]

+foo something something

haruute[m]: You're welcome to attend the meeting anyway though. :)

would vote for foo

+foo bar bazsomething

would wote for 'foo bar', since the baz is part of another word

and +foo bar baz something

would wote for "foo bar baz"

haruute[m]: I just don't think the meeting task is a good "final" task for GCI students, and since the meeting happens *after* the deadline for claiming new tasks, students wouldn't be able to claim another task after the meeting.

Freso: will do

it's a fast and very simple implementation, I think you'll agree: https://dpaste.de/m3Mt

naiveai: I think if you write "+something that isn't a vote option" it should be discarded, not try and guess what was meant (at least not silently). If you do "+foo bar bazsomething", maybe you meant to press newline after baz, but hit shift instead and just continued writing and then hit the enter key after the comment.

Freso: I think personally it's pretty good. I can show a message if the vote was applied for something other than the option directly given

Maybe.

with a !rescindvote or !cancelvote command, I think it's pretty reasonable, and useful

naiveai: I'm not sure we need a way to remove your vote entirely to begin with, so don't worry about that.

Just make sure any vote cast overrides any previous votes cast.

Freso: oh yes, I wanted to talk about that

!startvote Something silly

-1

Err, I mean

\1

yeah, that'll work

but does +red

followed by +green

ovverride the vote?

I think it should be that you can't do +red, -red (-red will override)

Maybe \red to nullify the red vote.

but I think you should be able to vote for multiple things in a nonboolean vote

Freso: then why not have a cancelvote command

it's straightforward to do

just find votes by line.user and delete 'em

Okay. I just don't want you to spec yourself into hell and back so it won't be implementable in the next ~48 hours.

it will be trust me

I have fingers of steel :D

Don't break your laptop/keyboard. :/

Danskerne har tilsyneladende ingen sans for humor: D

None what-so-ever. We're practically German you know.

Freso: can you *please* *please* *please* finally fill out the doodle for the board meeting?

iliekcomputers: ping

regarding https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

what is the right interval for calculating stats? I imagined doing it on the first of every month, but I am not sure if that really makes sense. once a week?

ruaok: tbh, I'd like to run it once and then see how much data it gobbles up.

ok, let's do it weekly then, just to get this merged and deployed.

Cool, I'll update it in some time. Then get to LB-281

LB-281: Make sure the scheduler cron jobs only run in the scheduler container https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-281

also, did we ever figure out how to stop running cron jobs in each container?

Not yet, I'll take a look and try to do it without a new dockerfile

ok

we really need to get to a stopping point with all of these PRs and get a release going....
