<mayhem[m]> "I wonder how many tracks have an..." <- [here's](https://youtube.com/watch?v=isXoiYfoD… an example of a track that could plausibly cross a set of turntables and "evolves" BPM over time (from your LB mapper's "favorite" artist ;])

(see 2:55 or thereabouts and beyond)

oh, from my favorite pain-in-the-ass artist at that!!
2025-10-28 30117, 2025
julian45[m]
yep, that's what i meant lol
2025-10-28 30126, 2025
julian45[m]
and i know for a fact that this artist does DJ sets of his own & others' music decently frequently (mostly in jp of course)

<julian45[m]> "[here's](https://youtube.com/..." <- so, it the tempo progression linear or will we need to fit some polynomial to cover this case?

good question 🤔

julian45[m]
i think i might have to get up in there and try to tag bpms at specific measures to see if, from "start" to "finish" of the tempo progression, the bpm increase is linear or not
2025-10-28 30126, 2025
julian45[m]
oh and i forgot there's a substantial slowdown in that track too! (cf. 3:30 on) and it's not like it's halving previous tempo or even the starting tempo of the song
2025-10-28 30132, 2025
mayhem[m]
julian45[m]: I was only half serious. :) but I could see the case for supporting linear progressions.
2025-10-28 30128, 2025
julian45[m]
* the song, even if you subdivide the larger pulse)
2025-10-28 30121, 2025
julian45[m]
and if nonlinear over a larger period, one could simply try their best to break it down into smaller linear progressions i guess?

I'm a first time matrix user, is it possible to create a topic BPM and move all messages about that subject to that topic?
2025-10-28 30130, 2025
julian45[m]
not really, there's technically "threading" but for many clients it just shows as regular old replies
2025-10-28 30139, 2025
Jade[m]
Not really, you can't move messages

maybe a convo thread could be started on our discourse instance where that sort of categorizing is much easier? that would also sort of invite input from users who don't use matrix/irc/discord to interact with metabrainz and its projects
2025-10-28 30150, 2025
Jade[m]
Yeah, discourse is probably the right place for that kind of longterm/longform communication
* complete public? (I'd prefer not to have everything in the wide open at the moment)
2025-10-28 30153, 2025
julian45[m]
Evelynne[m]: yeah afaik; if there's a way to create private discussions/categories i'm not aware of it
2025-10-28 30109, 2025
Jade[m]
I mean this room is public too, if a bit less searchable
2025-10-28 30153, 2025
Evelynne[m]
I have already explored the discourse
2025-10-28 30120, 2025
julian45[m]
a private discussion room with just a few folks (members can be added/removed over time) is a thing in matrix but as a project/group of projects we generally prefer to tend towards open convos when possible so we don't use them often
2025-10-28 30142, 2025
julian45[m]
(e.g., for cybersecurity discussions that can't be public)
a site admin can build/administer these but unfortunately i don't happen to have such rights in our instance
2025-10-28 30114, 2025
julian45[m]
other MeB staff should though... [mayhem](https://matrix.to/#/@mayhem:chatbrainz.org) what say ye to creating a private group in discourse for initial discussions of this stuff? (if favorable, directions for how are a couple messages before this)
2025-10-28 30127, 2025

2025-10-28 30129, 2025

Or I should invite you all to our zulip https://mixxx.zulipchat.com/ where we can have a DM with multiple people

It's not about big secrets but drafts can start living on their own, and this public channel can/will be indexed by search engines / AI ....

hey @bitmap for this issue, i made a change in email in $EDITOR_SANITISED_COLUMNS but cant figure out a way to test it out locally. I rebuilt the sample data once again after dropping the existing pg docker yet see no difference in the db.
op3kay: the point of modifying `$EDITOR_SANITISED_COLUMNS` is to include it in future dumps - it doesn't affect data you're importing from previous dumps, which is why you aren't seeing any change
2025-10-28 30147, 2025
bitmap[m]
there is a way to run admin/DumpSampleData locally on e.g. the test database though you'd have to insert some test data by hand
2025-10-28 30149, 2025
bitmap[m]
or you can run it on musicbrainz_db, and that is a lot easier, but it will take longer
