[Wikitech-l] Operations team announcements: Ryan and Leslie

2013-10-16 Thread Ken Snider
Hello!

I'm extremely pleased to announce that we've had two promotions within the 
Technical Operations team!

Leslie Carr has been promoted to Senior Operations Engineer (Networking). As 
many of you know, along with Mark, Leslie has been instrumental in securing 
preferred rates and contracts with with connectivity providers and vendors on 
the networking side of our infrastructure - in a world where human connections 
are every bit as important as topographic ones, Leslie has maintained a vast 
network of contacts to help ensure that we're receiving competitive pricing, 
fair peering, and a plethora of other perks that come part and parcel with 
maintaining solid relationships in the networking arena, while also taking 
point on many of the technical aspects of our network infrastructure as well.

We're lucky to have her, and I look forward to working with her as the team 
completes the setup of ULSFO and begins work on our next data-centre project.  

Ryan Lane has also been promoted to Senior Operations Engineer. Ryan has served 
as the lead on the Labs project, a component of our infrastructure that has 
become increasingly critical to projects both within WMF engineering (with Beta 
Labs), as well as with various volunteer projects (via Tool Labs). Ryan is 
about to head up the migration of this infrastructure from Tampa to Ashburn as 
part of our plan to sunset the Tampa data-centre.

Additionally, Ryan has also played a key role in several non-labs-related 
projects, including most recently our HTTPS-as-default project, as well as work 
on integrating git-deploy into the mediawiki deployment pipeline. Ryan's work 
has been invaluable, and this promotion well-deserved.

Thanks!

--Ken.

not that it would actually worked better :P I would be most happy to
switch to local /dev/vdb storage which never had any problems, but for
that wm-bot would need to be on own project

 Hi,

 because of this bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55690

 wm-bot is unable to write logs to file storage. Unfortunatelly since
 10 minutes ago, the mysql storage broke as well, I have no idea why
 but I am afraid that only fix that comes to my mind now involves bot
 restart which isn't possible because all logs that couldn't be written
 are cached in operating memory (so if I restarted wm-bot we would
 loose 2 - 3 days of logs of all channels that are in RAM now).

 So, if someone wondered what is up with public channel logging, this
 is a reason why there are logs missing, not only on file storage at
 bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs but also sql at
 http://tools.wmflabs.org/wm-bot/logs/

 I hope wmf will soon start selling I love gluster t-shirts :-) I would
 get one


 It's possible to switch to NFS, you know ;).

Re: [Wikitech-l] Tarballs of all 2004-2012 Commons files now available at archive.org

2013-10-16 Thread Gerard Meijssen
Hoi,

Deleted files AFTER the creation of the tarballs were created will always
be part of the tarball. If you create logic that works on these archives,
it is likely that they will also work on the live data at Commons...

MY QUESTION... Yes, it is good to have a backup somewhere. However, what is
the point working on old data when the new data is available?

Thanks,
  Gerard

 Hi Frederico,

 This is great news! I have two questions though:

 1. What happens to files deleted after your crawler retrieved them? I
 suppose they will still be available in the archives.
 2. Is the archive team willing to host 3rd party, specialized
 downloads, such as all the pictures from WLM (or all the pictures with
 monuments from a certain country?)

 Thanks,
 Strainu

[Wikitech-l] LESS support seems to have broken RTL support

2013-10-16 Thread Amir E. Aharoni
Hello,

LESS support seems to have broken RTL support in Vector.

The bug is reported as
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55779

It seems like the commit that caused it is
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85920/

This is already deployed in Commons and some other wikis. This must not be
deployed further, and should probably be reverted in the wikis where it is
already deployed until RTL support is fixed.

Thanks.

That's not a good idea. Performance would be better (which you probably
don't need), but at the cost of decreased ability to recover. /dev/vdb goes
away with an instance. If a compute node fails and your instance is on it,
your data is gone.

InnoDB, mostly. For example:

[enwiki] SELECT count(*) as num_tables, engine from
information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'enwiki' group by engine;
+++
| num_tables | engine |
+++
|166 | InnoDB |

[Wikitech-l] Global Day of Code Retreat

2013-10-16 Thread Michelle Grover
Hi folks,

I had the opportunity to go to the local Software Craftmanship Meetup here
in Mass last night which was fun and mind bending because I’m old and
forgot about things like tail call recursion  (see Zack’s blog post if
you’d like to see what we worked on… http://zdsbs.blogspot.com/) So
December 14th has been deemed “Global Day of Code Retreat” If you’ve never
heard about it please take a look http://gdcr.coderetreat.org.   Just
thought I would pass it on to others in case there’s any interest.

 vendors on the networking side of our infrastructure - in a world where
 human connections are every bit as important as topographic ones, Leslie
 has maintained a vast network of contacts to help ensure that we're
 receiving competitive pricing, fair peering, and a plethora of other perks
 that come part and parcel with maintaining solid relationships in the
 networking arena, while also taking point on many of the technical aspects
 of our network infrastructure as well.
 
 We're lucky to have her, and I look forward to working with her as the
 team completes the setup of ULSFO and begins work on our next data-centre
 project.
 
 Ryan Lane has also been promoted to Senior Operations Engineer. Ryan has
 served as the lead on the Labs project, a component of our infrastructure
 that has become increasingly critical to projects both within WMF
 engineering (with Beta Labs), as well as with various volunteer projects
 (via Tool Labs). Ryan is about to head up the migration of this
 infrastructure from Tampa to Ashburn as part of our plan to sunset the
 Tampa data-centre.
 
 Additionally, Ryan has also played a key role in several non-labs-related
 projects, including most recently our HTTPS-as-default project, as well as
 work on integrating git-deploy into the mediawiki deployment pipeline.
 Ryan's work has been invaluable, and this promotion well-deserved.
 
 Thanks!

Re: [Wikitech-l] Inspecting page performance with mw.loader.inspect()

Thanks for clarifying - as stated before I wasn't picking on this in
particular - it was just the easy observation to make from the
results. I know very little about ULS but would be keen to understand
a bit more about it. Are there any bugs open/wiki pages that I should
be subscribed to to get more background and help out with us making
this as slim as possible? Will be happy to help when I find some time.

 I know close to nothing about this, but I'm kind of interested in finding
 out.  Would it be possible to $('little language toothed wheel
 thing').on('click', load something like jquery.uls.data)?  That would
 already be 37.13KB.


 For the functions that are required only after a user interaction, like
 click ULS already lazy load scripts. One thing to note here is language
 selection one of the features of ULS. ULS avoids tofu(small boxes because
 of missing font) in the content presented through wiki pages, and that is
 an onload activity, without user interaction.  That contributes the script
 size. But any help in reducing the script size is always welcome.

 Thanks
