FauxFaux: what would it be to remove every <table>allcontents</table>? /<table*table>/?
2008-02-19 05042, 2008
brianfreud
ouch, Nikki, I don't think you can in word, unless you completely turn off all auto-fixers (it's seeing the new cell as a new sentence)
2008-02-19 05047, 2008
FauxFaux
brianfreud: Just put a .*? in the middle, * so doesn't do that. =p
2008-02-19 05009, 2008

that's the thing, I turned off capitalisation changing autoformats and it's still doing it!

Assuming that commas is a typo, yeah.

FauxFaux, if I want to only replace a few times - more than once, but less often than all, how would I do it? /foo/2 to replace twice?
2008-02-19 05041, 2008
brianfreud
or is that when I start chaining replaces :P
2008-02-19 05046, 2008
FauxFaux
Unfortunately not, you basically have to chain replaces, you can obviously do it in a loop. For some simple things, you may be able to get away with (abc){3}, which means "abcabcabc" (ie. abc three times).
2008-02-19 05043, 2008

I think I may be able to abuse the DOM so I don't have to worry about it :P
2008-02-19 05013, 2008
brianfreud finds something rather twisted about this:
meh, I had to slow this down anyhow so as to not flood servers with req's - slow here is actually ok, considering I've got 1sec delays before even sending reqs anyhow :P
2008-02-19 05034, 2008

oh, and for anyone who might try it... dealing with complex scripts + settimeout in GM is a major pain

lie tables are perfectly suited for word
2008-02-19 05031, 2008

no, because I don't want to filter, say, (album), (band), (UK band), (label), (record), etc
2008-02-19 05058, 2008

I essentially want to be able to have an array that store possible wikipedia disambigs that are non-musical, to filter out those urls when they come up

hmm, I was hoping to move it to somewhere easier to find in the code, so I could add to it in normal array declaration notation, rather than one huge long regexp string buried in the code...

Elvis has soundtracks for his movies
2008-02-19 05045, 2008
cooperaa
they were reissued on CD with two soundtracks per CD
2008-02-19 05056, 2008
luks joined the channel
2008-02-19 05025, 2008
cooperaa
on the combo reissued CDs they say "Elvis Double Features" \n "Title #1 / Title #2"
the last few like this I ran into we decided just to title "Spinout / Double Trouble"
2008-02-19 05042, 2008
cooperaa
okay but there are several with "Double Feature:"
2008-02-19 05045, 2008
cooperaa
I don't think we should
2008-02-19 05050, 2008
brianfreud
think they were Ella combos - same company/idea
2008-02-19 05059, 2008
cooperaa
I'd argue for OriginalConsistentData
2008-02-19 05046, 2008
brianfreud
yeah, I suggested series style, but panda/etc argued that "Double Feature: " was descriptive, not titular
2008-02-19 05026, 2008
cooperaa
cool
2008-02-19 05051, 2008
brianfreud
hey cooperaa, offhand, any wiki (disambig)s you can think of that we wouldn't care about? 'medical' and 'legal' are the two I can think of offhand
2008-02-19 05049, 2008
cooperaa
nope, not very familiar with any other than (band) and (album)
2008-02-19 05038, 2008
brianfreud
ok - trying to filter out those we don't care about :)
2008-02-19 05033, 2008
brianfreud
btw, for luks or ruaok or whoever might be able to say, here's what I came up with, maybe you'd see logic flaws in it. It's being fed theValue, which is the url string being tested:
2008-02-19 05034, 2008
brianfreud
var bogusity = new RegExp(); for(checkValue = 0; checkValue < checkBork.length; checkValue++){ bogusity.compile("%28"+checkBork[checkValue]+"%29"); if(bogusity.test(theValue)) return true; }
2008-02-19 05026, 2008
ruaok
ya know brianfreud, I've been meaning to talk to you about your variable names....
it's only loading release (and label, unless you fixed that) url-rels at the moment, don't have it snagging real release or artist url-rels yet
2008-02-19 05057, 2008
ruaok is only working on search right now
2008-02-19 05004, 2008
brianfreud
only checking for wiki links while I tighten the code, but that's 4 wiki links - one at least new to us, since it is filtering against release url-rels
2008-02-19 05035, 2008
luks
wikipedia, not wiki... :(
2008-02-19 05024, 2008
brianfreud
lol, yes, that's what I meant
2008-02-19 05053, 2008
brianfreud
and very nice, the type-check I just put in works now, so the "Metallica_%28album%29" comes up as a possible release match, not an artist match :)

ruaok: any plans for releasing DB dumps of raw tags for users who have set in the preferences that the tags are public?
2008-02-19 05038, 2008
ruaok
handn't given that much thought.
2008-02-19 05007, 2008
ruaok wonders what the privacy issues are
2008-02-19 05020, 2008
ruaok
even if users are ok with sharing, are we sure we have no issues?
2008-02-19 05029, 2008
brianfreud
so long as the user has the option to opt-out, I wouldn't see anything wrong with it...
2008-02-19 05006, 2008
luks
well, there already are dumps with user data with only removed password and email
2008-02-19 05018, 2008

so I think tags should be ok

out of curiousity, in the feed for releases, language and script are two different entities, but why are status and release type mixed within the same attribute?

is that (partially) why I can search for new add release edits by language, but not for new soundtrack add release edits?
2008-02-19 05053, 2008
ruaok would have to look
2008-02-19 05030, 2008
brianfreud
just had jumped out at me as the one place in the xml where 2 fields seem to be mixed together
2008-02-19 05018, 2008
luks
the idea is to allow more than one type there
2008-02-19 05027, 2008
