How would it be if nikki gave modbot a fake email and then warp or ocharles added an email confirmation date in the db?
2012-09-18 26200, 2012
nikki would be fine with 'bot' overriding 'limited user'
2012-09-18 26218, 2012
nikki
the thing about limited users is mainly of interest to me to see which users are brand new and might need more help/advice than normal, a bot is something totally different

That's what I thought

Although we'd want other bots to have a working email address at all times
like you could have a bot with 10,000 auto-edits and a confirmed email address but it would be a limited user because it has fewer than 10 non-auto-edits

warp: I was mostly looking for the 'do we partition relationship lists' discussion
ocharles why not create as a google doc so it can be commented on
2012-09-18 26257, 2012
ocharles
because I can't stand the google document editor
2012-09-18 26216, 2012
ocharles
and comment threads get really hard to manage there
2012-09-18 26225, 2012
ocharles
there is a github repository for this, and i'd prefer people create issues
2012-09-18 26234, 2012
ocharles
like we did for the caa

don't we have a chance to discuss it at all then, its essentially a done deal
2012-09-18 26220, 2012
ocharles
?

jira isn't suitable for discussion, only more back and white this is wrong type things
2012-09-18 26236, 2012
ocharles
of course you can discuss it, that's why it's a collaborative repository
2012-09-18 26247, 2012
ocharles
i'm not using jira
2012-09-18 26234, 2012
ijabz
oh you mean using github, I remember that being kind of horrible
2012-09-18 26244, 2012
ocharles
i thought it worked well for the caa spec

Its not very accessible, I can't even remember how you doit now
2012-09-18 26221, 2012
ocharles
just go to 'https://github.com/metabrainz/web-service-v3-design/issues' and click 'New issue'
2012-09-18 26238, 2012
ijabz
hmm, well I'll wait a few days for you to flesh it out
2012-09-18 26217, 2012

But I still think some general discussion would have been good, and I can't see how using Github offers any benefits over using JIRA
2012-09-18 26210, 2012
ocharles
no real benefit, it's just very lightweight and easy to setup
2012-09-18 26227, 2012
ocharles
and i figured actually doing something rather than bikeshedding infrastructure was a better use of my time :)
2012-09-18 26240, 2012

i'm only diving in writing this up as that's what I was told to do yesterday

the only thing that bothers me is the ratelimiting is a lot more complex
2012-09-18 26232, 2012

by being adaptive we're requiring clients to keep track of a lot more than "do X requests per Y time"

good morning ianmcorvidae
2012-09-18 26216, 2012
ianmcorvidae
morning :)
2012-09-18 26225, 2012
ocharles
yes, that is true. i haven't considered that yet
2012-09-18 26253, 2012
ocharles
perhaps a timestamp to the next 'reallocation' of rate limit... stuff... should be in there too
2012-09-18 26259, 2012
ocharles
so they know how long to wait if they hit the limit
2012-09-18 26218, 2012
ianmcorvidae
it's still a lot more work for clients
2012-09-18 26239, 2012
ianmcorvidae
I'd really prefer we have something that's not more complex than our current system, but is just tuned better
2012-09-18 26254, 2012
nikki wonders if /ws/3 can return more convenient results when looking up cds
2012-09-18 26211, 2012
ianmcorvidae
taking into account things like cache hit rates when we set our policy
2012-09-18 26226, 2012
ocharles
nikki: go on
2012-09-18 26242, 2012
ocharles
ianmcorvidae: if you feel like working on that area, do feel free
2012-09-18 26243, 2012
nikki
ocharles: well, I would do something that returns cd lookup results grouped by tracklist with a list of releases the tracklist is on (if that sounds like pre-ngs, that's because it is :P mb grew out of a cd lookup service, so it makes sense that it used to be very good at it :P)
2012-09-18 26251, 2012
nikki
now though you tend to just get a long list of releases which all look the same (since they were split from a single pre-ngs release) and I don't think there's any obvious way of knowing which ones are the same tracklist

damnit, we STILL have an artist credit column on works, and it'll miss this schema change

make a ticket, put it in the next schema change fix version? :P
