right.  sorting != searching.

If someone really did unwittingly write an O(n log n) search algorithm, I will buy them a beer.

I'm sure someone has: 1. Sort list. 2. Binary search.

[Schneau]

Am I the only person who thinks that this is a topic about O(log n) search algorithms every time?

It's funny you mention it, since I saw the topic and thought it was about an engine deck featuring Woodcutter and Scout.

Yesterday i was searching logs and found that http://gokologs.drunkensailor.org/ would only show games prior to mid april whereas http://www.andrewiannaccone.com/ was up to date.  Can anyone explain this?  What's the relationship between these two addresses anyway?  (sorry if the answer to the last question is explained above.)

I have no idea why this should be the case. I was certain they linked to the same page. Can you post or PM me two search links that show different results?

I found a way to reproduce a very similar bug.  Search for a player's games with an invalid date, e.g. '10/7/2013' (should be '07'), producing an error message, then put in a valid date and watch the wackiness ensue.  Same effect on http://www.andrewiannaccone.com/ and drunkensailor.

correct: http://gokologs.drunkensailor.org/logsearch?p1name=stef&p1score=any&p2name=&startdate=08%2F05%2F2012&enddate=10%2F07%2F2013&supply=&nonsupply=&rating=pro%2B&pcount=2&colony=any&bot=false&shelters=any&guest=false&minturns=&maxturns=&quit=false&resign=any&limit=20&submitted=true&offset=0

incorrect: http://gokologs.drunkensailor.org/logsearch?p1name=stef&p1score=any&p2name=&startdate=08%2F05%2F2012&enddate=10%2F07%2F2013&supply=&nonsupply=&rating=unrated&pcount=2&colony=any&bot=false&shelters=any&guest=false&minturns=&maxturns=&quit=any&resign=any&limit=20&submitted=true&offset=0

So the difference wasn't the domain but some hysteresis.

I can see that correct says quit=false while incorrect says quit=any.  I see no other differences, but manually setting the quit=false doesn't solve the problem.

Restarted it.  Sorry about that.

Sorry also that I can't promise much better anytime soon.  I'm traveling and will have only very infrequent internet access for the next couple weeks.  Here's hoping that my server starts behaving itself a little better in my absence.

I heard from the people over at Goko that servers actually perform best when left alone entirely without any maintenance, so you should be fine

It seems like something is not working properly. I am sure I played two games in a row against SheCantSayNo today, and only one appears in:

Since it is the same, I will conjecture that some logs are not being parsed.

Hooray for amalloy, who fixed the special characters issues in the log prettifier!  Now your username can end in "$" or "\" or whatever sort of regex-abusing tomfoolery you want: http://gokosalvager.com/static/logprettifier.html?20140424/log.5101a6c4e4b02b7235c3860f.1398355996250.txt

How do you do the randomization for the posts?

I search through old posts and choose the one that maximizes:
   f(p) = p_irrelevance * p_irony / log(p_currentupvotes) + (AI_boredoflookingthroughposts)^500

I'd have thought that would be eventually increasing.

That does not look very random...

I justed wanted to write the game summary of my game against qmech, but in the logsearch only 3 of the 6 games show up, weirdly all the games I won.
Any idea what is causing this?

I'm not sure... another wrinkle from the database transition.  It's a separate issue from the one I identified in the "moving to Linode" thread.

(Cross-posted in the Isotropish thread)

On Sunday (June 29), MakingFun's log server stopped responding to requests from gokosalvager.com.  Their log server itself still works fine, but it's specifically ignoring requests from my Linode instance.

It's possible that this is just their server automatically defending itself from what it thinks is an attack or just an overly-rapacious user.  I haven't received any notice about this from MF, nor have I received any complaints in the past.  I've asked about it on their forum and will update you as I learn more.

I don't plan to anonymize or otherwise disguise my log server requests, not even as a temporary workaround.  If MF ever decides to thwart the log search, Isotropish, or the Salvager extension, they'd have a pretty easy time doing it, so there's not much sense in trying to defy them.  And I'd really like to have some sort of ongoing dialogue with MF anyway.

Until this is resolved, new games will not show up in the log search, and the Isotropish leaderboard will not update.  The "Iso" ratings displayed by the Salvager extension will not update either, but it's other features will continue working (including automatch).  The log prettifier and kingdom-image generator on still work, but you have to find the logs yourself.

I got a brief reply from an MF admin that suggests that this was an accident.  They're using AWS, and it looks like Amazon cut my IP off because it was demanding so much data that they considered it abuse/attack.

I've modified my code to query for new games much less frequently, which I think will prevent this from happening again.  I've also asked MF if they can provide a less horrible way for me to query for new game logs.  Right now the only way is to get the whole 10MB list of all games that have been played today.

I've also asked MF to contact Amazon to remove the block on my IP, and I asked Linode how to get a different IP.  If/when either of those things happens, my database should start updating again.  If neither happens soon, I'll find a way to anonymize or redirect my log server requests instead.

It looks like you've got the log-search engine working again. If so, you probably want to remove the header/disclaimer at http://www.gokosalvager.com/, no?

Yup.  The leaderboard too.

Maybe add this over logsearch too:

Last recorded game finished 5 min, 7 sec ago

Good call.  It runs a lot further behind now because I'm anonymizing my requests and because of the other changes I made to reduce my impact on their log server.

Obviously I reversed my earlier decision and am now anonymizing my requests.  I didn't want to do that when I thought that a) I might actually be serious messing with their server, and b) they might actually be willing to talk to me.  But I'm now pulling ~5 kB/s from them, while their total responses to me on their forum add up to about 200B, none of it substantive.

Whenever I try to use the log search on gokosalvager, the screen just goes blank. Is this just me?

EDIT: It only does this when I clear the date range. Even when it works, it isn't finding anything newer than 7/14
