      • flamingspinach
        the reason I have so many tabs open is that I browse in a breadth-first search kind of way
      • (if you know what that is)
      • SultS
        separate processes are little bit better in win8, but since chrome can’t even do the simplest things like opening a file, it is quite terrible for everyday use imo
      • kepstin-work notes that firefox on android uses a separate process per tab model, and it garbage collects processes for tabs that haven't been accessed recently.
      • flamingspinach
        btw KRSCuan I hope you mean one order of magnitude up in number of tabs, not amount of memory used :P
      • kepstin-work
        so if you go back to one of those tabs, it has to reload the page
      • KRSCuan
        My main problem is that you don't really have page titles visible anywhere, and bookmarks begin to disappear with 25 to 30 tabs open.
      • flamingspinach
        if you have firefox using only 170 MB of RAM I want to know your secret haha
      • simukis_ joined the channel
      • why do bookmarks begin to disappear...?
      • KRSCuan
        Double that number and the tab bar can't even show you all the tabs, or at least provide some way to scroll.
      • flamingspinach
        ah
      • yeah that's why I need the tree style tab layout extension :)
      • it puts a big sidebar on the left side of the browser showing a tree of your tabs
      • tree in the sense that when you open a link on a page in a new tab, the new tab becomes a child of the current tab in the tree
      • kepstin-work
        firefox on my phone is only using 102MB atm :)
      • flamingspinach
        KRSCuan: here's a video showing what it looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9dUfyoHz3E
      • kepstin-work
        ... I also have only 2 tabs open on it.
      • flamingspinach
        very handy, I can't live without this extension :)
      • KRSCuan
        I don't have horizontal space to waste for something like tree tabs.
      • flamingspinach
        I have too much horizontal space
      • ever since 16:9 became popular my screen is way too wide
      • KRSCuan
        I need to have two windows side-by-side on a monitor.
      • kepstin-work
        I don't use web browsers maximized
      • flamingspinach
        I need to fill space with sidebars in most of my applications :)
      • kepstin-work
        ... I don't maximize anything, really. I have a window manager that lets me have multiple windows on the screen, you see ;)
      • flamingspinach
        I usually keep my browser maximized at least, even if I have to sometimes keep two other windows side-by-side
      • on windows I just maximize everything because doing anything else is too painful
      • on linux I use xmonad which is a nice tiling window manager :)
      • KRSCuan
        1120 pixels wide, with a 800 pixel window beside it.
      • Usually the file manager.
      • kepstin-work normally has a couple billion terminal windows and text editors open.
      • IRC, mail client and instant messager on the secondary display.
      • flamingspinach
        oh man, I haven't used instant messenger in so long
      • seems everyone I used to talk to on instant messenger has either moved in one direction (IRC) or the other (facebook)
      • kepstin-work
        my instant messenger client connects to facebook :/
      • and irc.
      • voiceinsideyou joined the channel
      • so I talk to everyone on instant messenger ;)
      • flamingspinach
        lol I see
      • I always found the IRC support in general purpose IM programs to be severely lacking
      • and of course facebook breaks compatibility with things all the time (or at least they used to when I tried using pidgin to connect to it)
      • kepstin-work
        it's not a super-great irc client, no. but it's servicable for general chatting.
      • facebook implements an xmpp api for clients now
      • flamingspinach
        so in the end I just have an IRC client and then I use facebook in the browser
      • oh that's good at least
      • lol do you know the chinese facebook clone "renren"?
      • kepstin-work
        nothing other than the name
      • flamingspinach
        well a few years ago it used to be called "xiaonei", and back then they of course had something like facebook chat
      • and it was XMPP back then (when facebook's was not)
      • but
      • I don't mean they provided an XMPP API
      • I mean it was literally XMPP, implemented in javascript on the page
      • and extremely slow
      • kepstin-work
        huh.
      • flamingspinach
        furthermore, all stuff normally done by AJAX was routed through this XMPP connection
      • haha
      • kepstin-work is just annoyed that skype doesn't allow connections by third-party programs, so he can't have skype in his multiprotocol im client :/
      • doesn't skype have giant NSA backdoors :P
      • kepstin-work
        not any more than any other chat protocol without end to end encryption
      • flamingspinach
        well unlike many other chat protocols without end to end encryption, there is verified logging of your conversations on a central server since you can download backlog (afaik, I don't use skype myself)
      • kepstin-work
        (notably, in most settings when doing single-user voice/video calls, skype actually runs in a peer-to-peer mode without a recording backdoor)
      • flamingspinach
        er, talking about the text chat in skype
      • kepstin-work
        the backlog feature is quite useful for me, but yeah :)
      • google talk also has similar backlog (it actually stores backlog in the gmail email store...)
      • flamingspinach
        there was talk when microsoft bought skype that they were compromising that peer-to-peer mode by adding some sort of central "super-peers" controlled by microsoft, or something
      • sure, nobody expects google talk to be private haha
      • kepstin-work
        skype always had super-peers for relay when two people behind nat call eachother.
      • flamingspinach
        previously those were just random peers in the network that were elevated to that status, if I understand correctly
      • kepstin-work
        yeah, true.
      • but I dunno if running random nodes as superpeers vs. going through microsoft-controlled nodes would be better ;)
      • SultS remembers times when microsoft owned IM client was actually good and not full of bloat :)
      • flamingspinach
        MS IM clients have always been bloated, look at MS Comic Chat :P
      • kepstin-work notes that you can connect to microsoft live instant messenger via xmpp as well.
      • kepstin-work notes that this is *not* integrated with skype
      • kepstin-work
        it's unclear what's going to happen with the xmpp gateway as they're doing this migrate to skype thing.
      • SultS
        I had never heard of ms comic chat before :P
      • flamingspinach
        ms comic chat is pretty fun lol
      • kepstin-work
        it looks like anyone who has migrated to the skype client no longer shows up in my msn messenger buddy list as online :/
      • SultS
        but i stopped using ms im when they released live messenger 9.0 or something… used digsby for a while, but now pretty much nobody I know uses messenger anymore, so… :P
      • kepstin-work
        and since I basically only log into sky from linux and my phone, my skype and msn accounts aren't merged.
      • CallerNo6 got sucked into http://usesthis.com/ yesterday. Now he's sucked into #my-musicbrainz-setup.
      • skype on linux is awesome. No ads, simple and clean user interface :)
      • also, no animated emoticons.
      • SultS
        I have almost nobody in skype, so I don’t really use that either :P

      • 2 different sets of artists on there plus one more listed on one of the releases in old-CSG style
      • 2 piano soloists on a serenade for strings?
      • joris joined the channel
      • CallerNo6
        what if Sholz has a time machine too? Don't let him get one step ahead of you.
      • hawke_1
        It obviously didn’t work, because I’m still aware of his annoying bullshit
      • CallerNo6
        aha. Maybe he can't kill you because he's your grandson.
      • Mineo
        ohai #musicbrainz, would you do me the favor of voting on the fix edits on https://musicbrainz.org/release/bc65e123-297b-4... ?
      • hawke_1 voted
      • reosarevok
        11xCD opera compilations with one different soloist per track take a fucking long time to enter :(
      • reosarevok approved those edits
      • reosarevok was again going to ask why you didn't do it yourself. Stop being a normal user already, Mineo!
      • :p
      • hawke_1
        can we get rid of the autoeditor system already? :-p
      • Mineo
        well, to be precise, I did *vote* on them :)
      • kepstin-work
        nah, need NES before we can get rid of the autoeditor system :)
      • hawke_1
        True
      • flamingspinach
        CallerNo6: people have killed their grandsons plenty of times, even without time machines...
      • oh, I misread
      • CallerNo6
        flamingspinach: yes, so hawke_ may have the advantage in this battle
      • flamingspinach
        kepstin-work: how will NES help us get rid of autoeditors?
      • and what exactly do you mean by "get rid of"?
      • will everyone be an autoeditor because rollbacks will be easier?
      • reosarevok
        Everyone *could* be, at most
      • at the moment I don't think there are any plans to change that
      • reosarevok shrugs
      • We'll see if and when NES is close to finished
      • kepstin-work
        in NES, the idea is that all edits could be made visible immediately, so there is no need for a specific class of user to make things show up immediately
      • on the other hand, it might make sense then to have an auto-un-editor who could reject things that are obviously wrong immediately; depends how it goes ;)
      • culinko
        why are the weird things always happening to me? :/
      • hawke_1
        Why is it that the recordings tab is paginated, but the relationships tab is not?
      • kepstin-work
        good question.
      • kepstin-work notes that the relationships tab could really use some tablization as well.
      • for recording/release links anyways

      • nikki
      • kepstin-work
        apparently we're supposed to fix that 6 months ago.
      • culinko
        strange, some of my area autoedits are delayed and not showing immediately, http://musicbrainz.org/edit/22800070 is not showing on artist's page
      • kepstin-work
        culinko: strange, could be a caching issue on the server side :/
      • culinko
        damn, the link has already updated
      • yea, i smell some server related problems
      • in some cases it took 10 min to appear there
      • kepstin-work
        so it's probably some missing cache invalidation code :(
