Peut-être un peu l'avocat du diable, mais les amis et l'air ont de fait un coût.
actually, I never did any such thing :-)
Vraiment? La qualité de l’air se monnaie relativement directement, ou en tout cas c’est un but avéré. @recifs
Quant à l’amitié, si tu penses aux points de rupture ce sont souvent des ruptures de l’échange. @recifs
Bref, je ne connais pas le contenu du rapport mais le soundbite ne me choque pas. Un écosystème viable a une structure… @recifs
…d’échange stable. Parler de troc plutôt que de monnaie me semble juste être une image. @recifs
Au contraire, ne pas se préoccuper du coût de l’air fut un bref répit anthropocentré. Demande ça aux cyanobactéries :) @recifs

Is this just dark stuff or Euclid in general? If the latter, can you give details on the exoplanet hunting side of things?
AFAIK it’s supported more deeply but only by Gecko.
Whoa, you’ve become quite the community manager :)
I think the jury’s still out on a precise definition, but it’s like that other thing: you know it when you see it :)
On the pro side: packaging. Pretty much everything else is annoying though.
You mean how to start something new in a way that can transition to standards easily? @FremyCompany
What I’d do is use ReSpec with specStatus=unofficial, and then grow from there. @FremyCompany
Editing a spec without a proper tool is a lot of useless work :-) @briankardell
sure thing, but probably not before tomorrow though.
I really like some of the stuff in BEM, have you considered pushing it more, eg in standards? @ianstormtaylor @bem_en

can you show me use cases you have in mind? I think it's not necessarily limited that way.
Well if it’s out of UA scope, it’s solved. Seriously, it really is. Mucking with tabs was a bad idea.
To me is good enough; to the GH repo’s issue tracker if you want :)
That's the same for the whole web. Bad designers create bad ux. But you can create good ux with this, in fact by default.
bring it on baby!
Ties for what? And the proper use of CONNEG is no, no, don't, no way :-)
But ordering preferences is UA-only, so I’m not sure where that would appear?
But I’m not sure where the q value would come from since the sources are disparate :) Maybe it’s unclear, I’ll prototype.
Yeah, q values only make sense compared to others. But you don’t know the others.

@hadleybeeman Actually, it’s the antepenultimate — there’s PR after that :)
Yeah, PR tends to be a formality :)
C'est de la balle. Je n'utilise plus que ça.
A protocol? You mean a URL scheme? That would kill the transition strategy.
Sure :)

What’s a good Mac tool to pick subsets of a diff to apply? Git support a plus.
That scales poorly to 120k lines documents, I find :) I think something visual is called for here, to get better context.
Ha! You know what, I actually have it too, just never used it :) Thanks for the reminder, I’ll look!
I’m just a bit afraid of Atlassian because of Jira...
Likewise, and I’d like to keep it that way :)
No, I want to pick diff parts over many commits, not pick commits. What’s vim? :)
Thanks! I’ll check that out. Looking at SourceTree now, but it’s pretty slow.
So, SourceTree seems to have the feature, but trying it out brings my laptop to its knees...
Thanks, I’ll look at DiffMerge. Kaleidoscope seems nice but it’s expensive.
I’ve probably tried every single diff tool for Mac by now. The only one that scales is TextWrangler, trailed by @Kaleidoscopeapp and Meld.

I looked, but I couldn’t find a way to diff a file with another branch.
Hmmm, but that requires there to be a merge conflict! I just want to select parts of a very large diff.
I can get that with local git clone -b other-branch. The problem is finding a tool that can handle a 120kloc file with 25kloc diff.
I have, it looks nice, but it simply cannot handle this sort of load. It crawls to a stop. @karlpro
120kloc file with 25kloc of differences.
No, it’s not about forgetting to commit, it’s a change in the way branches are handled.
Thanks for the tip, but it’s not available for Mac :)
Have you tried TextWrangler’s diff? I tried it out of desperation, and it’s the best I’ve found. Not great, but works.
