Dites @Clt_VoyagesSncf, les €5 supp. par enfant pour le TGV Family c'est juste une boutade ou on est sensé avoir mieux que ce wagon pourri?
@SNCF_QR Vous avez une réponse à la question qui débute ce fil?
Ceux qui parlent de démission parentale face à la délinquance n'ont pas vu un TGV Family le dimanche soir de grand retour.

Je pense que jQuery ne sera jamais totalement éliminé, l’important est d’en réduire le besoin. @Uxlco @glazou

Replying to @STPo

Le problème c’est qu’entre gérer des cas particuliers comme jQuery et les cas généraux, il y a un gouffre. @Uxlco @glazou

Replying to @STPo

C’est pas de la mauvaise volonté, si c’était facile ce serait fait... @Uxlco @glazou

Replying to @SNCFVoyageurs and @SNCF_QR

Sur le La Rochelle-Paris de 14h hier, un wagon entier a payé le supplément «family» sans avoir de service correspondant.

Replying to @SNCFVoyageurs and @SNCF_QR

Euh non. Vous escroquez un wagon entier et vous comptez sur l’inertie des gens pour ne pas réclamer. Remboursez, c’est tout.

Replying to @SNCFVoyageurs and @SNCF_QR

De plus, le chef de bord n’était au courant de rien.

Replying to @SNCFVoyageurs and @SNCF_QR

Euh, je vous signale un dysfonctionnement clair de vos services, c’est à vous de prendre l’initiative.

Replying to @SNCFVoyageurs and @SNCF_QR

Donc vous confirmez que vous volez €5 par tête à tout un wagon, puis faites en sorte de rendre le remboursement difficile? Bravo…

Replying to @julien_igel

I don’t know, I was shocked too!

Replying to @null and @jalbertbowdenii

Yeah, I have to admit that I was actually puzzled by how sensible it is. Not at all used to this from parliament. @getify

Replying to @getifyX and @getify

What the text actually says is that a book is only a book if it’s owned and in an open format. @jalbertbowdenii

Replying to @getifyX and @getify

But it strips what author’s claim? To have published a book? The law’s just about taxes... @jalbertbowdenii

Replying to @getifyX and @getify

I mean, no one’s ever going to say «oh you wrote under DRM, you’re not an author». Am I missing something? @jalbertbowdenii

Replying to @stshank

Yeah, I have to admit that I pretty much reeled under the shock when it dawned on me that it was sensible. @recifs @hsivonen

Replying to @null and @marcosc

It’s a strong incitation for publishers to just drop DRM.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Publishers know if their books are DRMed. If they don’t pay the right taxes, they will get caught.

Replying to @null and @karlpro

Je pense que le contexte est légèrement différent :)

Replying to @edasfr

Déjà, c’est plus joli. Dans un brouillon, tout est sale et doit être mis au net, alors que dans une ébauche il est attendu que...

Replying to @edasfr

…certaines parties soient déjà bien avancées. Ça correspond mieux à la réalité.

Replying to @null and @karlpro

«ébauche de travail» ça marche (même si un poil pléonasmique), «brouillon de travail» euh pas trop.

Replying to @null and @karlpro

C’est là mon point exactement.

If someone from the Brazil W3C office said that, please give me as much detail as possible — they need to be seriously talked to.

Offices are not W3C. They do not speak for W3C, let alone set its policies. See w3.org/Consortium/Off….

Replying to @null and @ivanca

I understand, but adding syntax highlighting to HTML itself (or CSS) is pretty heavyweight — I doubt it would pass

Replying to @null and @ivanca

That said, something more generic could be useful. Register js as a conlang and use <code lang=‘art-js’>.

Then toss in the ability for CSS to match and style text ranges — you might have something :)
