Oui, je suis d'accord, cette phrase est trop forte, surtout "bien pensant". Mais les faits sont présentés.

DAP WG releases first stab at File Writer API ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-file-writer-api-20100406/ )

Don't email your MP about #debill, it's too cheap to matter much. Send proper old school snail mail, it speaks *much* louder.
What do you think is the best Javascript testing library or setup? Independent or part of something else are both fine. #lazyweb

Replying to @jonbergan

I'm looking for a JS *testing* library, not just a library. I know of jQuery's testing framework, but I don't know how it ranks.

@bradneuberg, @shepazu Should we have some sort of refactoring #SVG meetup or (more organised) discussion? Seems there's energy to use!

If the only issue there is with it is the naming of the methods, then it's in pretty good shape :)

Firefox took 13 minutes to shut down — it's now officially as bad as Opera. Seriously, what's with those browsers that can't shut down fast?

Replying to @innovimax

Maybe 20 extensions? Most are Firebug add-ons though (and that doesn't explain the same issue in Opera).

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

There's plenty of room for improvement with it though, feel free to take an axe to it :)

Replying to @beaufour

Usually I don't wait and just kill it (it doesn't seem to cause data loss so I don't know what it's doing, really).

Nokia have never been very good at seizing that kind of moment, but it would be great if they did this time!

Replying to @gnat

Catalyst are building a replacement for Excel? Where? I'm confused now :)

Replying to @tabatkins

It depends on what you use flexboxes for, they are really bad for typical Web pages, better at apps. New tricks to learn, too.

Replying to @tabatkins

I don't have that many extensions, mostly vanilla stuff. I think it's the number of tabs, and then it gets stuck somehow...

I'm not the expert on those tricks sadly, I just remember that they exist from when I did some app dev. I can try to dig up IYW.

Pre-3GS iPhones are already dog slow without multitasking, I don't know that I'd want to activate it.

Replying to @glazou

Sure, but just trying it isn't enough motivation to jailbreak, so I doubt it'll lead to mass jailbreaking.

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

The geographic distribution of Opera users probably explains why you don't know any.

@sgalineau It crashes Chrome for me :) Safari also shows some type of Flash. Strange!

Replying to @null and @ndw

Which framework, what problem?

Replying to @null and @ndw

YUI is inordinately sensitive to the markup around elements you're augmenting (e.g. being in a td instead of a div). That might bite...

Replying to @null and @ndw

Dunno if someone replied, but most of the time putting the script after </body> and doing YUI().use('deps', function () {...}) is good.

The only thing I see about the iPad that could be exciting is Apple shaking up Microsoft's dominance on the low-end home device.

Other than that, there's nothing in it I've seen that makes me want one; were I given one I'd probably sell it.
