Counterintuitively, it's what will save us from the mess we've made of documents. You'll learn to love the SPA :-)

I meant with xml-stylesheet silly! @dauwhe

@t Going through the best of my 2013 tweets?
Thanks :-) I hope not, by then it'll just be the way things are. (fingers crossed)

let's have a beer about that in 2024 :-)
in that case they should just include a spare battery as keyring pendant. @brianleroux
Yeah, @Avis does that as well, it's just insanely maddening.
I wasn’t thinking of using that there, silly :-P @simonstl
Glad you enjoyed it, and certainly happy for beer before that!
but of course! @simonstl
you mean the lack of httpRange-14? Because other than that I reckon it's pretty optimistic.
Yes, so much we could do better it's hard to know where to start. Also, many time wasting issues along the way.
Don’t worry, it’s a given that RDF will stick around for some highly specialised niches. Find a job there already! @torgo
Did I hear it right that @sgalineau was running for the TAG?

A mix of both. Mostly predictions, but stuff like the TV epiphany is wishful; obviously they’ll dig their own grave.
I look forward to your alternative universe proposal :) @simonstl
I reckon it will, doubly so if we add some declarative hooks to simplify things. @johnallsopp @simonstl
Hmmm, I’m not sure what you read — this is full of standards.
That’s not supposed to start before the f2f; otherwise what odds does the crowd have to enjoy itself? @sgalineau
Yes.
:)
@simonstl
Awww. I don’t know, pick the one you most want. I used mostly predictions. @simonstl
HTML, CSS (both improved), Web Schema, EXI, lots of new JSON schemata, HTTP, etc.
In that I a happily your brother (see my previous post for reference :) @simonstl
Wait… I thought I paid for you to put RDF in Chrome?
Ah, so you heard this too! It is astoundingly good news! @sgalineau

It’s accessible at the same level as any other content today. I’m not sure what you mean about openness.
I’m afraid @marcosc is too busy watching that thing where they kick at balls. He likes kicking at balls.

And how is that no longer the case here?
Not content format, mode of production. That is different. The path of least resistance then becomes to use semantic HTML.
Ow, that hurt man!

Things can certainly go wrong, but I think the natural slope is to head towards something sane in this case.

I see a threat from Markdown. People will be tempted to just render that on the client. But if needed, we can standardise that.
Personal branding is still a game? I thought I unlocked that badge when my bogs made it to your Tumblr.
Glad you liked it :)
For UPoP, no, though I’ve heard about some JSON format that could be used (but haven’t had time to investigate).
For the login problem, it’s the output of the brainstorming session at the Extensible Web Summit.
There’s github.com/jden/web-login, but it hasn’t been moving — it needs a champion.
Do you have ideas in mind?
Ooh, now you’ve made me all giddy and curious :)
Hehe. Frankly, anything that gets us so much as an inch closer is exciting at this point :)
Java? Beeeeeuuuuargh.
I absolutely couldn’t resist :)
No, my main focus is actually on the interaction between applications and the new data formats they engender.
Also, Java is a horrible platform. Implementation matters a lot.
No, the concept that matters to be is the ecosystem and its dynamics.

I find it works well on mobile @dstorey, but indeed not on Mini. @briankardell
You can take it to @discourse, though I don’t know if Mini is a priority. @briankardell
This is far more involved than Disqus, though. @briankardell @discourse
Ah, thanks, I always think it best when feedback starts high horse posturing and a strawman. @brucel @briankardell
No worries :) You should go have your neighbour check his content on Mini, it can be punishing. @brucel @briankardell
On a more serious note, I’m aware of the issue but I am not sure how to fix it (with limited time and means). @brucel @briankardell
I know, but not everyone has FB’s resources. I don’t know to what extent EmberJS is friendly there. @brucel @briankardell
There is now!
Yes, it’s all at github.com/discourse/disc…. Thanks! cc @discourse

Can you give me an example of non-constructive input that would actually be helpful?
I don’t disagree, but I already know people are angry — I am more interested in what they want to do to change it.
Of course! In this case angry people aren’t necessarily bad, but by staying angry they can be unhelpful.

I wish my browser crashed more often — it’s so much faster when it starts back up.

It is true that sites are often bad, but if the bad stuff they do persists after the tab is closed, it’s the browser’s fault.
Hmmm, no. A new format requires a new type. And I certainly wouldn’t bother jumping through those hoops.
Hahahaha. The world would not pause to care for a single second that it’s not registered. No one would notice.
The only reason text/html is getting an updated registration is because @plhw3org is a really nice guy :) Is that a hired-gun format?
It’s a habit, not a requirement of the Process.
I’m in the process right now for several… Lots of rules with value I can’t fathom, emails sent to the wrong people, duplicated…
…information, unilateral closing of registration requests, Web forms from the 90s, etc. It’s not pleasant.
Don’t get me wrong, the people are actually nice. But I’m failing to see the value in the overhead.
It really really should not be possible for a site to keep using resources after it’s killed!
