happy new year!

it doesn't really matter

the only change is now I get to write "copyright 2014" instead of 2013 when writing software :)

well some places have lots of fireworks

there is/was lots of fireworks here in the city.

here there was one or two

but nothing really noticeable :P

hence why I would've missed it

:)

it probably won't surprise anybody that we get a mixture of fireworks and gunfire.

best fireworks in oakland are located at <random_intersection>

a bit of silly fun you fulks might enjoy: http://promo.musicradio.com/games/pick-a-side/c... :P

folks, even

fulk you!

I wonder if we actually should give containing areas on the Browse Areas page (as a comment on MBS-6587 asks for).

(In case development is on-topic here today. ;-))

no, probably not

browse pages are pretty much just for search engines

we shouldn't even link to them as prominently as we do :P

I thought so.

We don't even say "<release group> by <artist>".

somewhere I had some "code" that was basically just nuking half of the browse code to simplify it

we had to destroy the code to refactor it

I wasn't really refactoring it

I was literally just removing stuff :P

those pages would probably benefit from being unstyled <ul>s of links instead of what they are

so people stopped confusing them for a useful feature

really, the way to Do It Right would be for us to start generating sitemaps

what I did was basically just remove all the filtering so it was just a paginated list

that would also let us remove all the slightly insane page_index stuff

and I'd like something like my browseartists page which makes me swear at the webservice every time I have the stupid idea of trying to improve it

except in the server so I don't have to swear at the webservice :P

heh

I can't figure out how load_all in lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Data/Edit.pm works

or how to change it so that it loads area containments.

it won't be able to, I don't think, it generally only works with $c->model('Whatever')->load

you can load it separately though, I think, not that I remember where

hmm.

anyway, the way it works is it uses the 'foreign_keys' definition which specifies which things to load with get_by_id (and their IDs) and then what things to load afterwards for each thing with ->load

OK, so it is possible to do the loading from load_all after all.

Not sure if it's optimal, though; but that's perhaps a question for review.

That's 12 lines of code (22 if counting templates) that took 4 hours. Great ratio. ;-)

fewer lines is better anyway :P

huh. Mineo, how did http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-199 get "fixed"?

(I don't agree there's nothing to fix there anyway, but I can't see a PR link either in the comments and I'm wondering what the "fix" is)

Dumb, but whatever

At least hopefully people won't whine anymore

(please always do that ;) )

the link is in http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-19...

heh, ok

It's just been open for forever then while people argued around it

Sorry! :)

Well, won't hurt to have it clearly at the bottom I guess, heh :)

yeah, I can see how one would not immediately find the link in the long stream of comments

I do wonder whether just changing the name to Compilation (iTunes) wouldn't have been enough, but

Yeah, I don't really use it either, but I got very annoyed with the people ignoring explanations and being like "it should be marked if it's a compilation in MB" so it irritates me in general now :D

heh, I hadn't seen http://alpha.musicinfo.fi/artist/f128260d-7991-... before

Please review https://github.com/musicbrainz/picard/pull/202, ty ;)

Happy New Year MB team ;)

happy new year, zas :)

Thank you, ocharles :)

ocharles: since you're around, the cover art thingy isn't working

maybe 'cause of the switch switch

which thingy?

the indexer?

I restarted both of those services

http://ops.musicbrainz.org/dashboard/#CAA I think I woke it up

nikki: Since you're around :), https://bitbucket.org/metabrainz/musicbrainz-se... is waiting for your input.

for some values of around :P

Better some than none. :)

heh "Now showing the past undefined undefined until undefined undefined ago"

yea, it always does that on the dashboard :)

yay JavaScript

Hello I am new here

Can anyone help me around ?

What's your question?

I am looking for new projects to work on in my field , and technologies and projects in metabrainz foundation matches my field , I wanted to know about any ongoing project ?

Well, MB is always adding new features etc.

A fellow student of yours also asked recently, I think.

Thats good , can you provide me with the page with the ongoing features or updates in the projects

So that i can look on any bugs or ongoing features being developed

gaurav_iiit: Tickets for bugs, feature requests etc. are collected on http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/

Thanks :)

Leftmost: Would you mind me taking over MBS-6010/MBS-6011 (Unicode normalization)?

oh, neat, I'd like to follow along to see how that works

normalisation?

the code underlying it

is logging

ianmcorvidae says "wire library into existing code" as if it's not magic. but it is. all of it.

well, other than the 'use Unicode::Normalize qw( NFC )' (or so) nikki already explained the entirety of it :P

Hmmm. I get the impression that the Knockout rendering of tracklists on sandboxes somehow uses Artist Credits from the live site.
