I reckon that ACs haven’t heard of you much yet; I’m sure you can find a way to fix that by next time :)
You mean like fieldset? @ourmaninjapan @JackWeirdy
I thought of that, but it doesn’t play well with the way forms are normally handled, sadly. @ourmaninjapan @JackWeirdy
Well this encoding *does* allow to generate deeply structured docs (look at examples), just not using fieldset.

That should give noticeable improvements, localStorage wasn’t designed for anything even medium sized.
That makes sense — feedback welcome! Note that there’s a test implementation in the repo.
It’s not meant to be used as is, but it should be easy to improve it.
A <geo> element for marking up locations in a document?

Except that no one can agree on which existing tech to use :)
Exactly :)
More seriously, how would you use the existing stuff? In <a href=‘paris.fr’>Paris</a> how do I add the lat/long?
Discussing this on @specifiction might be easier :)
Please read my question again carefully :)
I understand that, in fact your can already do it with registerProtocolHandler(). But it doesn’t answer my question!
No offence Erik, but if XLink is the solution it’s not the right problem :) The geo: scheme has its uses, but it shouldn’t condition…
…vocabulary modelling when I want to simply capture geo information. It need not be a link when it isn’t meant to be.
But it immediately terribly verbose (and with duplicated information to boot, in their example).

I can only begin to imagine how the past months have been. I am so sorry.
En fait ça commence à être utilisé pas si rarement que ça.

I've been wondering if it would be a good idea to translate the manifesto into other languages?
I'm happy to do French if you reckon it helps. Who would ask? I don't think it's that US-specific.
is it on the github?
you're just cynical :-) @divya
Tu penses à un cas d'espèce?
Bah c’est juste «ouais, trop d’accord mec», ou «LOL»!
I don’t know, I always thought that Markdown was a blemish on the face of humankind. If you use <pre> it works, ` is <code>.
Use ``` blocks (I edited the first one).
Comment vous diriez «death by a thousand cuts» en français?
Non, ce serait un contre-sens :)
Mais qui tue!
L’idée est celle d’une mort qui vient à petit feu, par mille blessures, chacune desquelles n’est seule un problème.
Haha. Correct, mais un peu spécialiste :)
Merci, mais ça ne fait pas justice au sens de l’expression :)
Disons que j’aimerais que ce soit lisible par des personnes *autres* qu’experts-sadiques :)
Non non, c’est pas sexuel.
Ah, ça s’en rapproche, merci!
Il manque un aspect, mais c’est pas mal — merci! @Sniperovitch
Oui c’est ça. Mais c’est pas loin, ça peut orienter l’inspiration :) @Keltounet
Ceci dit, «mort par mille petites coupures» vous trouvez ça compréhensible?
Oui j’avais déjà trouvé ça, c’est pas joli joli :) On m’a d’ailleurs suggéré le nom chinois comme traduction.
La normalisation insidieuse, c’est mon métieur!
Euh, métier, putain.
Question bête: si je dis juste «mort par mille petites coupures» tu comprends ou c’est bizarre?
Yeah, but it’s missing the thousand cuts!
Merci, mais c’est pas vraiment le sens.
That’s more the straw that broke the camel’s back :)
Hmmm, pour un manifeste féministe on peut faire pire que kung fu ou SM j’imagine. @Keltounet
Ok, ok. Ceci dit, rien ne tue plus le français que ses défenseurs :)
Based on feedback so far I believe there is no correct translation. At this point I’m going literal.
@divya «We keep our heads down working at our jobs(…)» — shouldn’t that be a negative, or «We are tired of»? It reads weird w/ previous sent
Non, ça c’est «the straw that broke the camel’s back» :) @Sniperovitch

Writing about feminism in a gendered language like French is just insanely hard. I wonder how to change that.
♥ 2
yes, I do that systematically in English. But it doesn't work so easily in French.
You mean like ellez, ilz, je suis venuez?
I guess that would work if I could teach those languages to the French!
Then to find some readers :-)
It is if you're translating!

♥ 2
Again, though, as you know it’s not an option in French! @cwilso
Because both systematic «he» and they-singular sound wrong to my ear. @cwilso
That’s part of the problem I’m dealing with. What does «we» maps to in a text written by women. Authors or community? @cwilso
In French, in a number of cases, the gender shows through there and changes the meaning entirely. @cwilso
It doesn’t, except when it does. Try capturing «Nous sommes descendues» for instance.

what's wrong with TM1? I tried TM2 but they made projects unusable so I gave up.
TM2 just doesn't support projects at all. You can't have files from 2 disjoint directories in the same window. It's stupid :-(

@divya Did you see the pull request?
No worries man, I got a batch of reviews! @divya
Thanks, it’s very kind of you to offer! I started it up as an experiment on the min 1Go and got swamped with the #663399 idea.
And of course it happened in my sleep. I’ve pushed it up to a more reasonable VM and it seems to be handling better.

Yes, that is correct. <rb> is used in content, and users have been asking for it.
Oh, cool, that’s one Node DOM implementation I haven’t tried. I like what it promises.
I don’t believe there’s agreement at this point; as I was saying when evolutions happen there are discrepancies.
The intent is that they are temporary (and restricted to cases of impossible-to-resolve disagreement).
