        anyone having issues with the classic site?
      • 2011-05-08 12829, 2011

      • reosarevok
        It gave me a brief 504 a while ago
      • 2011-05-08 12832, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Apart from that, nope
      • 2011-05-08 12842, 2011

      • nikki
        same
      • 2011-05-08 12843, 2011

      • ruaok
        yeah, I got 504 too. :(
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • nikki
        random 504s are nothing new for me though, it seems to be working the same as normal for me
      • 2011-05-08 12834, 2011

      • ruaok
        that sucks. 504s shouldn't be happening. ;(
      • 2011-05-08 12859, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Meh, another now
      • 2011-05-08 12808, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But yeah, 2 in a day is nothing too special

        we're getting 504s again. :)
      • 2011-05-08 12838, 2011

      • ruaok
        er .. :-(
      • 2011-05-08 12811, 2011

      • djce hits the button
      • 2011-05-08 12838, 2011

      • djce
        not seeing 504s now...
      • 2011-05-08 12805, 2011

      • ruaok
        hits the button to switch to carl?
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • djce
        yup
      • 2011-05-08 12812, 2011

      • djce
        we're on carl now
      • 2011-05-08 12820, 2011

      • ruaok
        odd. why is lenny being so flaky now?
      • 2011-05-08 12836, 2011

      • ruaok
        lets reboot lenny and leave it on carl for now.
      • 2011-05-08 12836, 2011

      • djce
        let's leave it on carl this time
      • 2011-05-08 12842, 2011

      • djce
        ok
      • 2011-05-08 12844, 2011

      • ocharles
        ruaok: the load testing script thing failed because apaprently the logs go back in time ("I don't know how to sleep for -0.09s" was the exception)
      • 2011-05-08 12835, 2011

      • ocharles
        it's probably a floating point math problem
      • 2011-05-08 12844, 2011

      • ocharles
        anyway, I've made it skip negative sleeps and it's running again now
      • 2011-05-08 12857, 2011

      • ruaok
        ocharles: interesting. :)
      • 2011-05-08 12802, 2011

      • reosarevok
        ocharles: your stocks are going down
      • 2011-05-08 12805, 2011

      • ruaok
        probably a flock issue.
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • ocharles
        reosarevok: SELL SELL SELL
      • 2011-05-08 12823, 2011

      • ocharles
        ruaok: doubt it, the process that does the sleeping doesn't use flock
      • 2011-05-08 12835, 2011

      • ruaok
        not your code -- the nginx code.
      • 2011-05-08 12839, 2011

      • ocharles
        oh, I see
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • ruaok
        interestingly enough, the jaikoz beta has been giving ngs some traffic.
      • 2011-05-08 12813, 2011

      • ruaok
        not much, but still.
      • 2011-05-08 12816, 2011

      • djce
        ocharles: never really checked whether the timestamp you're using is the start of request, or the end. But either way ... meh, time goes backwards sometimes.
      • 2011-05-08 12830, 2011

      • ruaok
        LOL
      • 2011-05-08 12834, 2011

      • ruaok
        great quote. :)
      • 2011-05-08 12855, 2011

      • djce
        Had some Xen VMs a couple of years ago where the clock would jump forwards by 70 minutes or so,
      • 2011-05-08 12804, 2011

      • djce
        then stay there until reality caught up.
      • 2011-05-08 12835, 2011

      • ruaok
        reality was broken. not the clock. :)
      • 2011-05-08 12835, 2011

      • djce
        It's a strange world where time() returns the same value for over one outside-world hour.
      • 2011-05-08 12806, 2011

      • djce
        lenny's back btw

      • ocharles
      • 2011-05-08 12817, 2011

      • nikki wonders if reality is also broken in mason
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • ruaok
        I'm going to try and make it to the pre IO GSoC dinner after SFMT tomorrow.
      • 2011-05-08 12807, 2011

      • ruaok
        now to see if I can translate color triplets to english
      • 2011-05-08 12859, 2011

      • ocharles
        color triplets?
      • 2011-05-08 12812, 2011

      • ruaok
        #FF0000 -> red
      • 2011-05-08 12825, 2011

      • ruaok
        my useage of the cube extension came in handy yesterday.
      • 2011-05-08 12832, 2011

      • ocharles
        your best option is probably k-nearest neighbour matching and a table of css colour names
      • 2011-05-08 12837, 2011

      • ocharles
        great minds! :)
      • 2011-05-08 12841, 2011

      • ruaok
        :-)
      • 2011-05-08 12855, 2011

      • ruaok
        you can pick a color and it gives that color cover art.
      • 2011-05-08 12809, 2011

      • ruaok
        click on the coverart, and listen to tracks on the release via rdio.
      • 2011-05-08 12816, 2011

      • ruaok
        now mxm wants lyrics in there.
      • 2011-05-08 12838, 2011

      • ruaok
        so I want to see if I can translate the color to a name and then search for queries that contain that name.
      • 2011-05-08 12846, 2011

      • ruaok
        s/queries/lyrics
      • 2011-05-08 12845, 2011

      • ocharles
        I was going to submit a feature request for musicbrainz to store a haar wavelet decomposition of cover art for image matching
      • 2011-05-08 12815, 2011

      • ruaok
        you've been reading up on new shinies, haven;t you?
      • 2011-05-08 12826, 2011

      • ocharles
        so I can browse for cds from my bookshelf and easily queue them
      • 2011-05-08 12832, 2011

      • ruaok
        ha, nice.
      • 2011-05-08 12802, 2011

      • ruaok
        you could make it easy by scanning the barcode of the CD and add a hack to the jdadmcddcsdcs's android app
      • 2011-05-08 12813, 2011

      • ruaok
        but I realize that is against the mission.
      • 2011-05-08 12824, 2011

      • ocharles
        ah yea, for my prototype is was going to use qr codes
      • 2011-05-08 12825, 2011

      • nikki
        poor jdamcd :P
      • 2011-05-08 12827, 2011

      • ocharles
        but barcode makes much more sense
      • 2011-05-08 12835, 2011

      • ocharles
        but image is even cooler :)
      • 2011-05-08 12841, 2011

      • ruaok
        not if you want to play with waveletys
      • 2011-05-08 12847, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Especially for releases with no barcode
      • 2011-05-08 12852, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Which are plenty
      • 2011-05-08 12803, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (maybe not in your bookshelf though :) )
      • 2011-05-08 12808, 2011

      • ocharles
        well it's still a bit flawed with my vinyl collection, when I have loads that are just in black sleeves
      • 2011-05-08 12811, 2011

      • nikki
        or releases with teeny tiny barcodes that you need a microscope to see
      • 2011-05-08 12814, 2011

      • ocharles
        but it works well for cds that all have distinct artwork
      • 2011-05-08 12819, 2011

      • ocharles
        or should=
      • 2011-05-08 12820, 2011

      • nikki has a couple that are really difficult to scan
      • 2011-05-08 12837, 2011

      • ocharles
        just need a good image fingerprinting system
      • 2011-05-08 12818, 2011

      • nikki
        yay. the edit queue is dropping more
      • 2011-05-08 12838, 2011

      • reosarevok
        More?
      • 2011-05-08 12846, 2011

      • nikki

      • 2011-05-08 12829, 2011

      • reosarevok

      • 2011-05-08 12848, 2011

      • reosarevok just changed his definition of tl;dr to just http://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_To_Write_Edit_Notes
      • 2011-05-08 12851, 2011

      • ruaok
        time to pare those down. :)

        nikki said: "surely it just boils down to a) add urls. cover scans = good, official sites = usually good, user-editable sites = not so good, freedb = shit b) explain what you're doing if it's not obvious"
      • 2011-05-08 12823, 2011

      • Mineo
        c) explain why you're doing it :)

      • nikki
        yeah
      • 2011-05-08 12837, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I bet we would get somebody who added a release and put the artist MB page as url, and would say "I'm adding a release because it is not in musicbrainz"
      • 2011-05-08 12843, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But we get those already, so…

        reosarevok, nikki, Mineo: since I have work to avoid, I made a sort of draft new version: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Ianmcorvidae/How… -- thoughts?
      • 2011-05-08 12805, 2011

      • nikki wouldn't use quite so much bold
      • 2011-05-08 12826, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        I tend to overuse that, yeah -- I figure it's good to have condensed versions of each sentence somehow, though
      • 2011-05-08 12837, 2011

      • nikki
        "There is a partial consensus on MusicBrainz that incomplete data is better than wrong data. Rather than adding detailed information "based on a hunch", without being able to find reasonable proof, add only what you can justify." seems out of place. that's nothing to do with adding edit notes
      • 2011-05-08 12849, 2011

      • nikki
        (yeah, I know, it was on the original page)
      • 2011-05-08 12853, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah
      • 2011-05-08 12802, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        I liked that sentence and wanted to preserve it, is all :P
      • 2011-05-08 12829, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae edited a bit to put the bold near the start of each line; that makes it less chaotic
      • 2011-05-08 12838, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        (also got rid of that sentence even though I like it :P)
      • 2011-05-08 12804, 2011

      • nikki would get rid of most of the bold, it's already in a list with only a few other words :P
      • 2011-05-08 12818, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        haha
      • 2011-05-08 12840, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae tries to see if I agree
      • 2011-05-08 12832, 2011

      • nikki
        I think I would take the ", unless it's outstandingly obvious" bit and move it to the paragraph before "you are strongly encouraged to add one, unless it's outstandingly obvious" or something
      • 2011-05-08 12830, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        I was trying to make it so it was just "add an edit note, period, even though they're optional" and then make subparts optional
      • 2011-05-08 12858, 2011

      • reosarevok would rather see extremely obvious notes than no notes
      • 2011-05-08 12859, 2011

      • ianmcorvidae
        basically, trying to get a URL even for blindingly obvious things, because blindingly obvious isn't the same person-to-person :)
      • 2011-05-08 12810, 2011

        this part (which was already there in the original) seems confusing: "If a voter disagrees they should add another edit note, describing the issue or asking for proof or clarification. If they don't, you should ask them in an edit note. "

        the "How to add edits notes when voting and answering" seems to duplicate the code of conduct a bit

      • ianmcorvidae
        ah, that it does
