Installed MB locally and testing it's connectivity with SB API
Registered myself to NickServ and got myself a cloak thanks to Freso :D
Attended the Linux OSSummit and heard the keynote session by Linus
All the things are coming together wrt SB, the model + API + MB. Connecting all of them will be super fun
Thank you, and hope everyone is doing great
jmp_music: go?

Hi everybody!
CatQuest
hi!

Last week, I worked a lot with alastairp to install the latest version of gaia into a docker image and run some experiments. Some PRs were opened based on some issues we found and were later resolved.
Thanks to his guidance, everything now runs fine.
I also did research on how to parallelize some processes in data preprocessing and started to develop these methods.
next: _lucifer?

hi all
I worked on trying to compile an android version of essentia ready
It took some time to cross compile its dependencies and automate the process
but it seems to work
i am now working on the music extraction algortihm acousticbrainz uses to analyse audio files
thats it for me
ishaanshah: next?
ishaanshah
Thanks!
Hey Everyone!
Last week I worked on frontend for Listening Activity stats
Took longer than expected, hoping to finish it by tomorrow
thats about it.
fin! shivam-kapila go!
shivam-kapila
Thanks

(Only myself and Cyna left, and Cyna doesn’t seem to be around! Final call for anyone else who may want to give review!)

Last week I worked on finalising the LB dashboard along with Mr_Monkey and ruaok
Scrolled through a lot of designs for inspiration
Made some mockups
Was away for some time due to some personal things
Now we have almost finalised the design and I will move to code them
This is what we have almost finalised with the top nav being some tweaks away
Thats it I guess

CatQuest
hmmm

Freso: go!

Pretty much the same as last week: spending hours in the sun and skulking about the community at night. I’ve been poking at reports and tracking down more sockpuppeteering thanks to the new tools bitmap made me. ❤️
!m bitmap
BrainzBot
You're doing good work, bitmap!
CatQuest
bitmap äge!
Freso
Not really much else to report. Still in somewhat summer mode. :x
CatQuest also
fin!
Still no Cyna around, so I guess that wraps up the reviews! Thank you everyone for yours. :)
So, for a long time people have mentioned how "Various Artists" is a special artist and should really be "[Various Artists]"
I usually dismissed it because I assumed people would kill me
ruaok
oh no.
not in 2020!
reosarevok
But it does by now have 9 votes in Jira
CatQuest wants [various artists]
So clearly some people *do* want that
Freso doesn’t care either way
At least 10 of them :D
ruaok
any idea how much shit that is going to break?
reosarevok
Freso: apparently you voted for it, so you should care? :p
CatQuest
why would it break anything?
Freso
reosarevok: Omg. Does it say when that was?
reosarevok
It shouldn't break anything as such in theory
Since nobody should be using just the artist name instead of the GID
Freso
If anyone is checking only on name, it’s already broken.
CatQuest
freso: wants it so bad he forgot it
reosarevok
(we have other artists named Various Artists)
I'm sure plenty of people do just that, but
CatQuest
infact this would *fix* that
but yes
alastairp
does this have an effect on taggers? does this mean that filenames will have [] in them?
Freso
Until someone decides to call themselves [various artists] :p
CatQuest
i think we actulaly have one called that already. but
reosarevok
alastairp: I dunno? We already have [unknown] and whatnot
CatQuest
sigh artists
reosarevok
So in theory, they should be able to deal with that as it is
Can they? I dunno!
Freso
alastairp: I think Picard allows you to enter your own string for the VA special-cased MBID.
ruaok
wait. hang on.
CatQuest
I belive picard has an ability to say exaclty wht yo uwant VA to be called
reosarevok waits and hangs on
Freso: jinx :D
Freso
reosarevok: Don’t let go!!
ruaok
won't this trigger a COMPLETE reindex of all the search indexes for VA albums?
CatQuest
hang onn!
Freso
>_>
CatQuest
oh no
reosarevok
yvanzo: ^ will it trigger that?
CatQuest
oh no
ruaok
serisouly, can we please wait until 2021?
only half joking.
CatQuest
what happens in 2021?
oh
ruaok
its no longer 2020.
Freso
CatQuest: We’re out of 2020.
yvanzo
reosarevok: yes.
CatQuest
:P
can we uh. make it od that in stages?
reosarevok
yvanzo: does that mean it's a really really bad idea because it will cause a huge ass mess?
ruaok
yes.
CatQuest
oh no
reosarevok
Can the huge-ass mess be avoided in any way?
CatQuest
:C
ruaok
I *know* that we've told people to not assume that VA is one string or another.
yvanzo
reosarevok: yes.
ruaok
but we know that people never follow our instructions.
CatQuest
we could write a blogpost that we intend to do this,
reosarevok
yvanzo: to which question? :D
yvanzo
reosarevok: yes.
CatQuest
and saif "some date in 2021"
reosarevok
yvanzo: ok :D
ruaok
before this is done, someone needs to do complete test.
reosarevok
This sounds like we could do it *but* once the indexing can cope
alastairp
I tend to agree with ruaok here. there's technically correct, and then there's "break everyone's code"
reosarevok
And if we fix the indexing to cope, then have 6 months notice at least
CatQuest
yea. a notice
reosarevok
Not that it would matter, since people only do something when their stuff breaks
reosarevok sighs at all the freedb emails
ruaok
-100 from me.
Freso
Mhm.
ruaok
reosarevok: exactly.
yvanzo
Plus, it might break some stuff client-side, even though "Picard allows you to enter your own string ..."
alastairp
you can say "oh but we told you to never match against this" but that's not going to stop people from doing it, and then complaining when it stops working
CatQuest
+101 for mme :P
ruaok
alastairp: that.
reosarevok
I can deal with the complaining, which would all come at me anyway
But the indexing is a bigger issue
CatQuest
but since when do we let other peoples whteve rdictate mb data right or wrong?
yvanzo
I'm okay with the idea of renaming it, but it really needs to be thoroughly checked beforehand.
reosarevok
So there's a clear reason to postpone until then at least
CatQuest agrees with fixing the indexes first and testing
yvanzo: do we have a ticket for the indexing issue? If not, can you make one and link as a dependency of that ticket?
(and once that is fixed, we can then decide whether we actually want to make the change at all)
Btw, somewhat relatedly, what kind of changes to va would trigger such a thing? Only a rename?
Or are there other things I need to be wary of changing? :)
CatQuest
:o
yvanzo
reosarevok: There are a lot of localizable strings in server code too.
And tests using this string.
ruaok
dont we have better things to do?
are we done?
Freso
reosarevok?
CatQuest
hmm
Freso
I don’t know if reosarevok is writing something really long or if he disappeared. :|
