SnoopJHi, I'm James. Eternal dilettante and purveyor of nonsense, much of it about #Python, physics, and #cycling. I take part in #Monsterdon most Sundays at 9 PM ET.

SnoopJthe most important part of #Unicode history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016)

SnoopJ#Monsterdon is a weekly fediverse community event (Sundays @ 9 PM ET) where a bunch of folks watch a monster/SF movie of some description in sync with each other and post about it. Partial list of past movies: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon#Movie_List
All are welcome! Look to the #MonsterdonAlert tag if you want to see annoucements about upcoming movies.
I will pin this post to my profile when I am participating in the event. If you do not want to see these posts, mute the tag and/or me!

SnoopJthinking about how there's a true solution to the trolley problem and union workers were the ones to point it out
SnoopJ"We've been trying to reach you about your mecha's extended warranty"
SnoopJI wonder what happens if you buy a ticket for a listed private event (it does seem to let you do this)
SnoopJI mean, I'm sure they would turn you away if you tried to just show up, but like⦠would someone notice? would it error during transaction?
just stepped ankle-deep into someone's edge case there
SnoopJAnother bug: looks like Alamo lists private events in their JSON API, so I'll have to put in a special rejection filter for those

SnoopJyep, I figured it out, I was discarding shows that had already appeared on other days rather than just consolidating repeated showings of the same movie on the same day
easy enough fix, change the 'seen' key to a tuple of (date, film_id) instead of just film_id

SnoopJhmm, uh oh, looks like I'm missing some showings for Somerville Theatre though
well, that's a problem for tomorrow-Snoop, I guess

SnoopJyet another example of this calendar doing EXACTLY what I want it to do:
cool, there's a showing of ASHES OF TIME on Sunday. CHUNGKING EXPRESS is the only work of Wong Kar-wai that I've seen (it's also showing, on Saturday) but I would love to experience more of his work and scratch the martials-arts movie itch

SnoopJhmm, or maybe it's only some of the pages for the Kurosawa series?
what the heck, I'll see if the issue keeps happening once the series is open, and then I'll reach out if it still is
