40 min later, I still can't figure out how to sort the releases :(

I have a feeling it's because I never know when to use a @ or a $ or a @$ or any other concoction

heh, yeah, this is a problem I frequently have as well :/

I'm trying to sort $releases which is an array of hashes. https://github.com/navap/musicbrainz-server/blo...

perhaps some variant of (n)sort_by

I've been fiddling with sort { $a->{name} <=> $b->{name} } $releases

maybe 'use List::UtilsBy qw( sort_by );' and use sort_by { $_->{name} } @$releases or so

and assign it to something, I guess

I wonder how that works on arrayrefs versus arrays, I never got how that all worked in perl

I never understood refs in perl either.

my @sorted = sort_by { $_->{name} } @$releases; gives me only one release. It's a release that starts with a so that's a little promising

I assume I'll understand @$releases as soon as I see that source?

could you gist the data itself?

(P.S. Data::Dumper)

with Data::Dumper, yeah, hah

and $releases is an arrayref of hashes (or maybe hashrefs) that describe releases

sort_by takes an array; hence @$releases

unless I'm totally confused

which is probable :P

is it a long list of releases, or just a few user-selected ones?

Here's a dump of the first few release http://pastie.org/3690226

because normally you wouldn't want to sort thme in perl

luks: it's the results of a query based on CDTOC

CatCat: your cool quotes I loved was « i'd say he did *enough* … *puts on shades* » :D

in which case it seems they should be sorted in the query

so I guess that means modify Data::Release::find_for_cdtoc, or possibly query_to_list_limited

kepstin-laptop: Thanks I’m really flattered, it was a fun script to write, for every script I write I love to try new funny stuff

but I don't know the exact code, maybe it wouldn't be so useful

oh, actually, looks like it'd be reordering an ORDER BY statement

that's not too bad

Hey tech guys out there, have you noticed that NOW all artists got an artist credit entry = name ? http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/SEARCH-198

making sure nowhere else needs it sorted by date before name, of course, but

Huzzah!

navap: yay! by changing the SQL, or?

ianmcorvidae: Yeah, the sql

somehow I always forget that option, good thing luks is around to keep us in line :)

I assume $releases is the root element?

considering that's where the array you want is.

the problem's fixed anyway, by fixing the SQL

not sure what you mean by root element, though

I think he meant of the data dump, which it was

Could really use disambiguation comment search for live recordings...

There, tracklists + JS added. Time for bed.

Thanks luks and ianmcorvidae!

jesus: :)

AAAHHH i am amused

using http://translate.google.com/ while typing in "Estonian" for a moment the transaltor on the right side was like "Er..."

I can't find the thing reo linked me about the new guidelines for classical VA releases

or not VA actually

saying the main artists should be Composer, Composer; Performer, Performer

Now grooving to: Noel Fielding & Julian Barratt ~ Naboo and Bollo (0:34) (from The Mighty Boosh Music) (2007)

nikki: I’m trying to make a jQuery.get() or jQuery.ajax() to work but it doesn’t perform my http request at all (I sniff packets)… I even copied your code from wikipedia.user.js no effect… is there a way to understand or to debug those functions ?

someone knows jquery here ?

i read "I sniff packets" out of context and was like "huh?" are you banned from the post office?

héhé :D

what does sniff mean btw ?

to attract air in our nose ?

nikki: don’t worry I’ve made it the old school way (iframe)

nikki: nikkimini : do you know how long does the JASRAC session timeout ?

if based on JSESSIONID cookie, it should stay as long as browser… but iirc I was disconnected sometimes, does someone uses JASRAC here, are you disconnected sometimes ?

sniff? isn't it like "smelling"?

CatCat: A sniff (physical action of drawing air through the nose) could involve smelling the air's aromas--the latter part analogous to detected data packets.

CatCat: the computer people want to feel they are not boring and can be poets too

(sniff still makes sense, but really, someone explain "surf the web" to me)

someoen explain Chinese Hong Kong SAR China t ome

SAR?

what is that

i have translated almost 50%

not bad eh

i also wanted to know. if i could "Join the team" pn https://launchpad.net/~musicbrainz-developers or if thats jsut for developers

CatCat: "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China"

hmm, i have to include that in the transaltion? or i guess a norwegia nversion.. lwet me think

yes

And doubt anyone even knows about that team

what bitmap ,ad dupuy is!

erh i meaqn "language devs"

i remember dupuy, that guy, he's the one who showed me the ropes on mb when i was a noob

i miss him.

but it's so great to see he is til part of mb somehow

i think he's on the mailing list also

http://musicbrainz.org/user/dupuy/edits he actually edited a bit in December

\o/

lol

a "special administrative region (SAR)"

in norwegian is

"spesiell administrativ region "

heh

At least you don't have to think, SAR is SAR

yes

a thing that bugs me is that if i type like Chinese Macau SAR China in google transalte ,the caps are not retained

pffft

Ok

I'm clearly not going to scan 500 pages of booklets

(I have several booklets here with 30+ pages each, plus one with 200)

(classical stuff)

I guess I should still scan the pages with credits in them though :)

for <abbr title="Subversion">SVN</abbr> Viewer

what is this? a program or a person?

SVN is a version control system

Like github

More or less

So, translation is SVN

14°42'37" reosarevok> (I have several booklets here with 30+ pages each, plus one with 200)

ARG i mean..

you clearly shouldn't scan those unless you're crazy

but you're not

how do itransalte. .i eman what parts? SVN Viewer?

viewer

nevermind thoguh, i am working on picard now, i'll do server another time

_5moufl, for the first 30+ one I'm scanning like 8 pages

Is this MB translation or Picard?

Tracklists, credits and the English notes

Sorry French and German

(and photos)

But yeah, dunno if I'll keep all of that or stick to credits + tracklists

When I'm tired of it

_5moufl: Woah, I gotta know where in the world it is standard to use degrees, minutes and seconds for time display?

nowhere

I thought it looked nice :x
