Hm.. Website has cross-site-origin headers configured incorrectly on their feedback form, meaning I cannot actually send them any comments, like, “By the way your feedback form is broken…”
@poleguy I am not an expert in Spanish, but as an expert in Dad jokes, I would play off the concrete vs metaphorical meanings. The goal is to interpret it as something that is a valid meaning according to the grammar, but not one that a normal person would ever interpret it as in that situation, like, “¡Tengo hambre!” “¡Ay no! ¡Debes dejarlo!” Or “¿Verdad? ¿Puedo verlo?”
“¡Estoy aburrida!” “¿Así es? ¿Dónde esta Burrida? ¿Está cercana?”
@poleguy Yeah it struck me as obviously weirdly direct, but my friend from Spain didn’t catch it until I pointed it out, so I was surprised to find that it wasn’t universally obvious.
Para los que tienen el español como lengua materna, ¿le encuentran sentido a este chiste malo de papá sin necesidad de traducirlo al inglés?

Introducing MNT Reform Next https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/2024-09-09-introducing-mnt-reform-next.html
@mahmoud I’m bemused and nonplussed to learn the true meaning of chuffed.
@mahmoud Wow. I feel like “chuffed” has “nonplussed syndrome”, in that it sounds like it means the exact opposite of what it means.

New #cattrs is out (24.1.0) but I'm too exhausted to do a large thread about it. The changelog is pretty large: https://catt.rs/en/stable/history.html#id1
A couple of my favorite features:
Hook factories can have the converter injected as an argument now. This very simple change makes them much more self contained and more fun to write.
Some converter APIs can be used as decorators now, and will read type hints from the decorated functions. It's a small thing but it adds finesse.
@hynek helped focus the docs!

I entered a game into #ifcomp2024 called Birding in Pope Lick Park! Its a peaceful simulation of one of my #birding walks in my favorite park. It includes photos taken by me of actual locations in the park, and photos taken by me of many of the birds mentioned in the game.
Play here: https://ifcomp.org/ballot?alphabetize=1#entry-2985
It should take roughly 30 minutes. Play on WiFi because of the high resolution images. Should work on phones or computers.
Mildly chuffed that I can’t find recommendations for practical tips for which phone to get for a young kid (6-7).
All I can find is moral panic narrative stuff about not getting your kid a phone and recommendations for super locked down, deliberately crippled Orwell phones. I am looking for stuff like, “This one is cheap and rugged and they can operate it with their tiny hands” not “This one doesn’t have a browser and you can remotely activate the camera to spy on your child, if you’re insistent on raising a damaged child who had a phone too early.”

STOP DOING ONLY VIDEOS FOR MANUALS OR TUTORIALS! i just want to have a fucking written text with screenshots!
@brianokken I think if your TLDR has a TOC you might be doing summaries wrong…
Ok, so I just watched the first episode of Dragon Ball for I think the first time, and upon meeting Goku, Bulma hits him with her car, then shoots him several times with a gun, and then expresses surprise that this has failed to kill him (note: he is obviously a child and she clearly believes this).
I guess there are talking dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts around trying to eat people, so maybe this is just a post apocalyptic, kill-or-be-killed hellscape?
