https://www.crunchydata.com/blog/postgres-query... , this was an interesting optimization post i read last week.

2-3s -> 1ms!

yes, UNION is an anti-pattern as far as I am concerned.

that was actually how they optimized it in this case. replaced left join with union all.

wait, really?

yup

my experiences have been the other way around. odd.

the left join was preventing them from using indexes, rewritign it with union all allowed them to utilise those.

thats odd.

>A LEFT JOIN for tables A and B is the intersection of A and B plus the rows in A that do not appear in B. We cannot index a left join directly, however the intersection case can be indexed quite nicely, and we can perhaps do something better than the current case for the null join case. So rather than using a LEFT JOIN directly, let's create a query which explicitly calculates each part of the result set and appends them, and see how we

can improve performance.

mayhem: not sure whether an issue or not with the json files, but i realised we send a limited number of stats at a time. we store 1000 but paginate by 25. not sure if this counts as querying.

no that is pagination, which should should be able to do with the proposed solution.

Hey everyone :))

hi!

oh that reminds me, I need to create IRCCloud accounts for all our GSOC students.

Now that we're finally in the community bonding period, it's a nice reminder that we should know each other better!

mayhem: Oooh interesting

send me your email in a PM and I'll invite you.

mayhem: ah cool, btw looking at json stores currently, couchdb and cassandra particularly. will find and look at others later.

gah. cassandra. LB was first build using cassandra and we had to do huge amounts of fighting and we replaced it with PG.

oh, any particular issues? it seems like could work fine for this task.

much better PrathameshG[m]

eh, PrathameshG

Yes, looks like this is it

Yea pretty confusing usernames lol

lucifer: I don't recall the particular issues, it was just... not good.

I should rename the matrix ID for this channel ig

i see.

people shouldnt use software written by FB.

PrathameshG[m]: just drop your matrix one. it will just confuse us all. Just use one.

@mayhem

*fair enough

Disconnected the alt. No more imposters

Hi monkey! I have made the required changes to https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

Thanks akshaaatt I'll have a look now

hey skelly37. pm me your email and I'll invite you to IRCCloud so you can stay in touch with us more easily over the course of the summer.

Hi bitmap! How do you suggest we resolve https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... ?

atj: ping, I'd like to add a specific /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail file to certain machines (managed by ansible), in order to filter out spammy messages (like the non-issue "Critical Warning (0x04): Reliability" we have on trille. The idea is to override this file with a per-host (or per-group) file, but only if there's one. What would be the best approach to achieve that with ansible?

hi monkey, whenever you are free, do you wanna have discussions about polishing the mockups of the personal recommendation feature

or do you want to discuss it when the backend has been implemented

Thanks monkey! Fixed the final review also :)

[listenbrainz-server] 14akshaaatt merged pull request #1931 (03bootstrap5…fix-navbar): Navbar Migration https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

monkey I'm looking to move forward with `container-fluid` instead of `container` wrapping on ListenBrainz. The same is followed on MusicBrainz. Any comments on that or good to go?

Can you sum up the differences please?

A difference will be felt in the desktop version where the width with fluid will be maximized

`container-fluid covers the whole width of any device, . container is set to cover a maximum of 1320px width on the largest viewports`

Well, I can only say the lack of any sort of margin or padding on the side looks really really wrong to me

zas: we should be able to ignore that error via the configuration

Probably depends on the pages though

But that hompage liketaht makes me wantto scream :p

We can fix that monkey

I am looking forward to adjusting the font sizes later. I think that should fix our issue

I think a bit of paddi.g to make sure the text doesn't rub on the sides of the page should be enough

For now monkey, I have moved the footer and the nav out of container and have them on fluid, while the homepage and the listens, etc with a container

Once we add the sidebar, we can replace the main sections's container with fluid

FWIW, I strongly oppose the lack or margin as well.

Right mayhem. I think yeah having the main container on container does make sense

section*

good. :)

akshaaatt: sorry but I'm not sure since I didn't attempt to debug it, I was just relaying the error I found. but it's easy to reproduce

For what it's worth akshaaatt, the `container-fluid` class with the css var `--bs-gutter-x` set to `3em;` for example seems fine to me. It doesn't have to be the super-wide margins of the regular `container` class: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/i1sC8...

Right bitmap!

Noice monkey! Sounds good

It's not my favorite (reading text lines longer than ~50-60 character I find unpleasant), but at least I don't want to scream :p

agreed

For reference, on this screen size that's about 110 characters per line

It’s International Monday to End Obstetric Fistula!

I have received one mailed in review… reosarevok, go!

reosarevok says…

"""

:o

Last week I helped put out the schema change, wrote a couple small PRs, then went on a break and did nothing else of note. Still doing that right now. Doing nothing is neat.

"""

bitmap: Go!

but

hi

so spanish, reo. :)

last week I helped with the schema change release and was mostly working on PRs related to that

(Others up: monkey, Freso, akshaaatt, alastairp, zas, atj, mayhem, lucifer, yvanzo, CatQuest – anyone else who to give review, let me know ASAP! :))

:|

afterward I fixed some small remaining issues. one causing the JSON dumps to hang and was hot-fixed, others were minor

fin. go monkey!

Hiya !

Last week was a bit slow, but I did continue reviewed my giant stack of PRs

With alastairp we tweaked some things on BrainzBot to allow us to write PR review ids like so: LB#2000

LB-1084: Show track duration in BrainzPlayer: https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

I continued working a bit on the LB metadata viewer, and did some debugging to figure out some issues with listening on LB with Spotify (some listens don't make it into the listening history)

Worked a bit on the bootstrap migration

And finally started a document to explain what the goal is for moods on MB and LB

..

That's it for me ! lucifer go !

hi all!

(Others still up: akshaaatt, alastairp, zas, atj, mayhem, yvanzo, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who to give review, let me know ASAP! :))

i helped a bit in the schema change by working on unifying our mbdata fork with upstream and updating the models for schema version 27. also worked on some sir tests.

thanks for helping!

reviewed some PRs, helped in debugging mbid mapper issues and added an initial version of rechecking old unmatched msids (further improvements to come). worked with LB team to get the long standing mini reviews PR merged, with that all of jdaok's work from last GSoC is now merged.

some work on recommendations, like adding a new category and timestamps of when those were listened last. that's it for me. CatQuest: next?

Meow! `😺`

Hi! I've done plant things this week, but also had time to do INST-1053 & INST-1052

also been looking into fixing up a few abandoned recordings. there are quite a few.

finally working on some bookbrainz editions, hoping that updates will make things better :D

fin, go zas♉

BrainzBot: ping?

On Monday, I moved aretha to ansible, during the new schema deployment

CatQuest: known bug, I need to fix it

BrainzBot: ping

Are you in need of my services, Freso?

On Tuesday, we released another RC of Picard, stable version will be released tomorrow

!m picard-devs

You're doing good work, picard-devs!

I was off the remaining of the week, just keeping a distant eye to our infrastructure, thanks to mayhem & atj I had nothing to do ;)

fin. akshaaatt ?

I didn't do anything either. :)

Hi Everyone!

(mayhem : you did dns change for CAA)

crap. so much for that clean record

We have made explosive updates to MB Android App with the addition of the Spotify SDK to play tracks. Also, the tagger functionality has been updated to feature better results. A release has been deployed on the play store for you to try it out :)

Nice !
