I had a much better experience in Utrecht fwiw:

anyway! I'm in Arnhem for this event! should be fun, hopefully! I'm the person with cat ears, if you want to find me for working on Wikidata, WDQS, or Toolforge/Python stuff :3

@aharoni I think I found a bug in CLDR (relevant to the ticket I’m working on, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T231755), but I can’t report it on the CLDR issue tracker (it tells me “You are not authorized to perform this operation. Please log in.” even after logging in) – could you perhaps create an issue there to let them know?

cldr’s main/lzz.xml https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/9de60d86e7/common/main/lzz.xml contains names for language codes 'en' and 'laz', not 'lzz', but the value clearly seems to refer to Lazuri ('lzz') not Aribwatsa ('laz')

@aharoni I left a comment on the GitHub pull request that (I think) introduced the issue (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/pull/4441/changes#r2930976671), but an issue in the issue tracker probably makes it more visible; if you could create it, that would be great (and then I’d link it from my GitHub comment) 🙏

(the related issue would be https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-18359)

@aharoni alright, the pull request author already created https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-19316, so nothing more to do for you :) thanks anyway!

I’ll keep working on the rest of the task now ^^

lol

the mint chocolate I brought to the sweets table was still unopened about an hour ago (which I don't disagree with ;) [I brought other / better chocolates too :P]) now it's almost all gone!

I guess someone found what they like :3

I’m despairing over the number of people at this hackathon using “AI” tools

paraphrasing one showcase: “you might run into 429 rate limit errors because Wikipedia is being scraped a lot” gee I wonder why

hackathon is over btw, I'll try to remember to post about what I did tomorrow ^^

good night fedi 

my main hackathon projects:

• made good progress on making language names in the cldr extension translatable on translatewiki.net (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T231755) – patches are up for review

• worked together with User:Ideophagous to create Wikidata Lexeme Forms templates for Moroccan Arabic (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikidata_Lexeme_Forms/Moroccan_Arabic) and deploy them to the tool

also talked to lots of people :)

a #wmhack story: after, following a suggestion by Multichill, I played some piano before the opening ceremony to lure people into the auditorium, Ege got in touch to ask if we wanted to play some music together; so we ended up performing The House of the Rising Sun together (he's a great singer!) to open the closing ceremony \o/

#wmhnwe26

my programme for the opening was: Scott Joplin – The Entertainer, and then some improvisation on Sunny (following Eugen Cicero)

and for the closing, before the song we did together, I lured people into the auditorium with Louis Moureau Gottschalk – Grande Fantasia Triunfal sobre o Hino Nacional Brasileiro (you can expect that on a piano stream at some point :3) followed by Scott Joplin – Solace and Combination March (both abridged)

now that I’m back home and have more screen space available I’m still trying to figure out what kind of ICE train this was

based on the gray things above the lights, I guess it must be an ICE 3neo / DBAG Class 408? even though I’m still not convinced the contours are the same (most photos on  have less of a lighting contrast there, making the contours harder to see)

@LucasWerkmeister helpful guide for the uninitiated:

ICE (train) - good
ICE (secret police) - bad
ice (cubes you put in your drink) - good
ice-9 (hypothetical form of ice crystal that is stable at room temperature) - very bad
