[08:38:49] bleeek [08:41:37] yo YuviPanda [08:42:59] hi Ironholds [08:44:06] how goes? [08:45:40] Ironholds: not bad. RescueTime told me I spent 80h on the computer last week over 5 days, so I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong [08:46:18] Ironholds: also 9 days to my flight to SF and me going ‘WAT WAT WAAAATTTTTTTT' [08:46:21] forgetting to turn RescueTime off? [08:46:43] I do actually like it... [08:48:48] heh [08:49:32] I spent the evening investigating doing a master's [08:49:43] ah [08:49:45] how did that go? [08:49:48] (TL;DR it looks viable and I'd get to do it in a related field and I'd get to do it at a swanky institution and I'd get to keep working here) [08:50:01] I do that now and then and then go ‘no, I do not want to sit in halls and write any more tests' [08:50:08] but then I’m probably traumatized by… ‘here' [08:50:13] Ironholds: aaaaaah, nice :) [08:50:28] MSc in Software Engineering from Haaavaaahd. [08:50:48] nice [08:52:11] Ironholds: working fulltime + juggling that sounds fun [08:52:50] actually I'd be able to take basically one course a semester, so it's probably viable [08:53:05] I'd wrangle professional development time out of Erik and use it for that. [08:53:55] but we'll see [08:54:23] nice [08:54:31] outages probably don’t wait for class schedules, however... [08:57:05] oh, there's a solution to that [08:57:20] schedule outages in the pager system [08:57:45] "YOU DIDN'T FIX THIS THING" "I was in class" "YOU WERE ON DUTY" "Oh, see, the pager setup lives on that machine. Oopsie." [08:57:50] aaaaah, true, but I’ve found it hard to not respond even when I had no business responding. [08:58:16] but I should probably fix that anyway [08:59:06] Ironholds: also, my qualms about moving to SF have lessened a lot once I realized I”ll have much better access to bacon [08:59:19] hah! [15:35:41] guillom, we syncing at 9am or 10am your time? [15:35:54] Ironholds: 9am: in 25 minutes [15:36:04] Ironholds: Or now if you want [15:36:47] I should hit the store up, but I'll be free in 5! [15:36:53] *cancels the 1pm invite that somehow got on his calendar* [15:37:13] ok :) [15:37:20] Just ping me when you're ready [15:37:30] cool! [15:43:58] guillom, around and at least feigning consciousness [15:44:43] Ironholds: ok; opening the hangout now. I think you're showing me that Pentaho beast today? [15:44:51] yup! [15:44:59] great; omw [18:39:47] hey Ironholds. quick question about revision table. do we have a copy of that database as a file (or series of files) on our machines? [18:40:02] uhm [18:40:08] I can download it but it will take some time and if it's already there, I'd rather use it. :-) [18:40:16] by that do you mean the revision table, or the revision content? [18:40:19] table* [18:40:25] sorry. table. [18:40:57] not to my knowledge [18:41:04] I mean, it'd be out of date within 15s so.. ;p [18:41:14] yeah, thanks. that makes sense [18:45:35] np! [18:48:15] leila: around? [18:48:47] in the middle of a launch, Amir1. maybe in 30 min? [18:48:59] great :) [19:21:01] Ami1, I'm back. what's up? :-) [19:21:19] leila: unrelated, but I’m finally moving to SF in about 9 days :) [19:21:44] wooooot! this is awesome YuviPanda. looking forward to having you here. [19:21:52] :D :D [19:21:58] no! seriously! ;-) [19:22:44] wow, YuviPanda. I thought this day will never come. [19:22:56] leila: :) I’m a bit numb now that it finally has... [19:23:04] yeah. [19:23:15] it's a good news. let me know if you need help with something. [19:24:23] leila: :D I totally will! Mostly trying to figure out housing situation over the next few days... [19:24:38] yeah, where are you looking? [19:24:44] I mean, which cities [19:25:27] leila: SF / Oakland, I guess. I’m staying with Dan (Deskana) for a week and then looking during it. Mostly looking for somewhere to stay for 5 / 6 weeks, because have Lyon / UK after that... [19:25:58] ow I see. in that case, just stay with Deskana. ;-) [19:26:19] haha :D [19:26:51] on a more serious note, send and email to the internal list and ask. maybe people have an extra room you can rent for a month or something [19:27:16] leila: yeah, I’m not on wmfsf though :( [19:27:19] need to get added... [19:27:40] whaat? ask them to add you. you should be. [19:28:07] leila: ah, who is ‘them’? [19:28:09] leila: OIT? [19:28:40] yeah, I think, YuviPanda. [19:28:57] leila: I’ll file a ticket! [19:29:20] yay my books on women artists arrived! [19:29:22] YuviPanda: I think you can simply subscribe to the list. [19:29:30] You just need to be approved. [19:29:34] guillom: oh? [21:22:21] Amir1: are you around? [21:22:42] leila: salam [21:22:44] khoobi? [21:22:50] yadet miad? [21:23:19] Are you more comfortable with Persian or English? [21:23:22] salaam Amir1. mmm, na ghat'ee. [21:23:35] Zurich [21:23:35] I think it's better to keep it to English so others can read it, too. [21:23:40] ok [21:23:53] or we can switch to the private messaging and switch to Persian. :-) [21:24:00] uhun. now I know you Amir1. [21:24:04] what's up? [21:24:27] Salamaty [21:24:28] I saw Kian on the Wikidata email list. it's quite impressive. [21:24:38] I couldn't find any better word in English [21:24:42] thanks :) [21:25:09] I'm working on the learning curve and making it better in regulations [21:25:22] my goal is to make a system that can find false statements [21:25:26] in Wikidata [21:25:41] that's cool. and how do you train it? [21:25:46] but it's quite a challenge [21:26:18] I use the existing statements in Wikidata (for adding new statements) [21:26:34] but since we don't have system that can verify statements [21:26:53] you mean human verification of statements? [21:26:59] yes [21:27:23] I have to use the existing statements and checks them against irregularities [21:27:25] yeah. I'm talking to a student who has developed a tool that can help us with that. [21:27:41] so the training set and working set will be similar [21:27:52] maybe it's rather a classification problem [21:27:59] *clustirfication [21:28:30] *clustering [21:30:31] leila: Will you come to the Lyon hackathon [21:31:07] leila: another thing: Have you seen halfak around? I'm looking for him [21:31:17] o/ Amir1 [21:31:26] I'm away at a conference this week. [21:31:37] hey :) [21:31:53] okay [21:32:09] I can partially pay attention. What's up? [21:32:26] Amir1: sorry. my connection dropped [21:32:32] halfak: I made some progress [21:32:36] np :) [21:32:44] (00:57:41) Amir1: so the training set and working set will be similar [21:32:44] (00:57:45) rdaiccherlb left the room (quit: Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.). [21:32:44] (00:57:52) Amir1: maybe it's rather a classification problem [21:32:44] (00:57:59) Amir1: *clustirfication [21:32:44] (00:58:30) Amir1: *clustering [21:32:45] (00:58:56) ggellerman [~ggellerma@c-24-6-40-66.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] entered the room. [21:32:45] (00:59:00) subbu left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 246 seconds). [21:32:46] (01:00:19) rdaiccherlb [~rdaiccher@wikimedia/rdicerb-wmf] entered the room. [21:32:46] (01:00:31) Amir1: leila: Will you come to the Lyon hackathon [21:32:47] (01:01:07) Amir1: leila: another thing: Have you seen halfak around? I'm looking for him [21:32:57] (I really shouldn't copy paste things ;) [21:33:26] halfak: The translation for Persian for the coder is ready [21:33:42] okay, I see that the search for halfak has been successful. [21:33:53] re Lyon, no Amir1. I'll be in Wikimania [21:34:01] will you go to Lyon, Amir1? [21:34:06] leila: I'm trying to be at both [21:34:19] halfak: people are ready for coder to be ran in fa.wp [21:34:25] nice! :-) well, then definitely see you in Wikimania. [21:34:45] Amir1, awesome work! [21:34:50] thanks [21:34:54] Coder still needs to be finished though :S [21:35:01] leila: looking forward to meeting you there [21:35:14] halfak: I wanted to know what kind of coding I can do know [21:35:17] give me some tasks [21:35:31] related to wikidata rev scoring [21:37:15] Amir1, how about you look into feature generation for wikidata? It seems like there will be some technical issues involved and some exploration of the datasource --> features strategy. [21:37:51] I'm not sure if it will make more sense to ask the API for JSON or work with something like the WDQS [21:38:01] I suppose it depends on your feature set. [21:40:09] hmm [21:40:13] I look into it [21:41:26] I'll prioritize revcoder architecture work in the coming week so that we can spend some time collaborating there. [21:44:49] ok [22:30:40] Hi! I'm copying data from MySQL to HDFS via Sqoop. I want to import into a plaintext file, but can't find a way to turn Snappy-compression off. Any ideas? [22:32:30] do you use any of the --compress... tools, bobwest? [22:33:18] the thing is that --compress only lets you turn compression on, but i want to turn it OFF [22:33:25] however, Snappy seems to be on by default [22:33:31] and i need to turn it off [22:34:43] wonder if ottomata has run into this [22:35:43] jajaja [22:36:33] -Dmapreduce.output.fileoutputformat.compress=false [22:37:02] where do i specify this? in my sqoop command? [22:37:14] http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/core/v5-2-x/topics/cdh_ig_snappy_mapreduce.html [22:37:16] umm, maybe? [22:39:39] hmm [22:39:40] i think so [22:40:08] thanks, ottomata -- i think i figured it out! [22:40:19] did that work? [22:40:27] just so we know it for the future, how did you solve it bobwest? [22:40:57] https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.0-incubating/SqoopUserGuide.html#id1762587 [22:41:16] you can add the typical Hadoop -D options to the sqoop call [22:41:17] oh ja cool [22:41:17] -D use value for given property [22:41:22] great it works there too [22:41:29] ok heading out latesrs yalls [22:43:55] nice, thanks bobwest.
