Bien joué.
That sounds fun, sadly I’ll be chilling in Spain at the time :)
All those great ideas he had for Scooby Doo plot lines but was forced to pull could finally be put to use.

I'm travelling so it's going to be hard to debug before tomorrow. Are you at discourse.specifiction.org? It might not work otherwise.
On my way to Balisage!

Great! Enjoy yourself there, we have more coming in September!
Using a regex has been dicey for a while, the better trick is to use publicsuffix.org. @patrick_h_lauke
I put this together a few months back I forget for which project: github.com/darobin/html-s…. Never got around to tests and all.

So use at your own risk, etc.
I'm with you brother. I only gave up on 2.8 a couple months ago because calls started failings too much. The pain. The pain...
I wish I could say it's mine but Steve DeRose has it on a badge around his neck :-) It's an old quote, SoftQuad maybe?
1977, best year ever! @olivierthereaux

Seriously, you've been warned. "@abstex: Robins are little shits pic.twitter.com/9LHLFvuOEZ HT: the monstrous @sarahdal ;)”"
mending fences is an idiomatic metaphor for good neighbourly relations.
I'm surprised it hasn't happened already in fact.

@alexmilowski I’m told you need to tell me about @ndw’s rib.
Ow. Beer. I don’t think that’s something I’m drinking ever again. @ndw
@MacAffinity Is the forum the channel for beta feedback?
@MacAffinity There are multiple issues with your SVG export, can I send an email somewhere with details?

Personal proposal that a lot of people I’ve spoken to agree with. It is a real roadmap, unless someone stops me :)
I’m not sure what you mean by «endorsed». If I’m doing it and doing so while paid by W3C then in a way it’s endorsed.
But it doesn’t mean that you get a big rubber stamp with the logo on it and all.
Yes there is, because for all things HTML there’s an attached group: the HTML WG.
Who actually does the work is an open question, but likely a mix of the team contact, editors, etc.
This is the only source for the HTML WG. It becomes the way the HTML WG works.
In that sense, yes. This is in active discussion.
I don’t think it actually does defeat standardisation if we do it right. See berjon.com/w3c-open-licen…

Good point — I’ll include a link to an issues tracker.
See github.com/darobin/after5…. I think that by splitting we remove the scoping concerns since, in effect, they’re just (…)
(…) «platform» specs. It is no longer a big bundle.
Thought you were rid of XML? I’m afraid Web Components just brought it back. See DocBook demo from @alexmilowski github.com/alexmilowski/d…

Simple Matter Of Programming. I even gave it an <abbr> with title!
I will deliberately leave those options open. @stevefaulkner
ta. It is intended to be. Open for discussion of course but I think it can take hold. It's my official policy for sure.
@olivierthereaux Happy birthday!
«Non-standard appcache extension»… WHO *DOES* THAT?
You’re telling me there are people who looked at appcache and thought «Oooh, let’s add more stuff in there!»
I’m not complaining, I just find the notion of someone wanting to extend appcache hilarious.
@bloveluck You should’ve done it this way: xkcd.com/1403/
Okay, okay, I’ll buy it. But you’ve turned what was a gentle, amused prod into a serious discussion. Not so sensible :)
Nah, it probably wasn’t that funny to boot :)
It’s the offline ‘Nam.

Oui, et j'espère certainement qu'il ne lui arrivera pas de quoi la faire mentir.

No worse than OSX's Notification Centre where a notification is something you have to fetch instead of something you get.

If you like your #Entscheidungsproblem with copious extra details, I recommend "The Annotated Turing" by Charles Petzold.

I made this which is Web dev hackable (though not as good as I'd have liked, only had 4 days on it): darobin.github.io/ipd-morality/

it's just a quick hack, but I was happy to see that this sort of thing is now possible on the Web.
I was impressed with how fast it is after the profiler told me some common methods involved 10^10 operations.
Throw in SIMD and p2p, and you'll never need any other number crunching platform :-)
Not just that but Battery, Accelerometer, and of course the Humidity API come in handy. @brooklyn_js @jennschiffer @_alastair

Man, that one is just awesome. I don’t think we can pick one, we have to make a set box of some form.
Sounds to me like you’re taking an action item. I’m sure we can think of something to do with the proceeds :)
@annevk The good people of Maraña want to know if the excellent rumours are true!
Why not just build a great place in which to do standards and replace both old ways of working? @sgalineau
♥ 1↺ 1
Srsly though, instead of an nth process thread of the same stubborn people, why not join the effort to change standards? @sgalineau
More information coming very soon :-) @marcosc

I think it should be ordered by amount of time spent bitching about the process.
what's your proposed alternative?
they're not secret, I even started writing them up in the "after5" thing, but they're longer than 140 and I'm on vacation.
Also, more based on doing than on talking. Discussions haven't been between members, just people who think standards suck.
And who are tired of Web developers being screwed over almost systematically.
I know it's a long shot, but I'm tired of standards being about bickering in a tiny, incestuous group in which being a dick is OK.

I'll try to change that. If it doesn't work, *shrug*, I'll go work somewhere with less stop energy and more openness.
Dude, I wrote the manifesto for the next version of my coworking space: it's a blank page. As I said: it involves action.
I'm not saying manifestos are necessarily bad, but I think we have those we need. @sgalineau @mattur
Are there anti-jerk policies from conferences or communities that you'd particularly recommend?

Auquel cas je pourrais presque reprendre confiance dans ce gouvernement. Enfin si les détails collent. #NouvelleGauche
There is truth there, but it can be useful to have a policy you can point to to tell jerks why they're being kicked.
It can also be good for people regularly at the wrong end of jerking that we've got their backs.

That came out all sorts of wrong, but you know what I mean!
1. Set up means for devs to really take part in standards. This is already on its way. @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
There’s great RICG experience. It builds the right community, and gives browsers the… @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
…chance to start acting as if they really care for devs. 2. If the latter bit fails, … @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
… you have the right community in place to either finance or (even) fork. @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
Lastly, it helps if browsers get more JS-based, as both Chromium and Gecko are able to be @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
I know, but a browser that cares about its users and devs more would stand a chance. @yoavweiss @sgalineau @DavidBruant @domenic
I know, hence going in steps. Also, I think most browsers want to do roughly right. @yoavweiss @sgalineau @DavidBruant @domenic
Which is precisely why there's value in turning Web devs into browser devs. @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
At this point, yes. Fixable though. Same in Chromium. @yoavweiss @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic
If Gecko can’t go it, Chromium will just crush it when it works there. @yoavweiss @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic @bz_moz
Oh I’m happy if it works only in Servo. It’s not needed tomorrow morning @yoavweiss @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic @bz_moz
I did, but I don’t recall all of it. Also, much was factually wrong :-) @yoavweiss @sgalineau @tobie @DavidBruant @domenic @bz_moz
