It is a well-known fact that absent the open Internet there are no arguments left to be had. #circular

Replying to @seanmcarroll

I will be somewhat disappointed if it isn't the same principle originating order in all three. It's the same problem.

Replying to @ElissaBeth

Yeah. People should meet their heroes. Just don't pick jerks for the job in the first place.

Replying to @mikewest

Cool stuff. Horizontal reviews should involve more self-grading. @bcrypt @mnot @t @W3CAB @hillbrad @dveditz @w3ctag

Replying to @fantasai

Digging deeper, I found a note in dev.w3.org/csswg/css-pseu… saying it might happen in future. @sgalineau @davidbaron @bz_moz

Replying to @scshepard

I know that, and it makes some sense for first-line — but not so much for first-letter.

Replying to @null and @sideshowbarker

You might need both. Guides to weed out the basics, expert group for the hard stuff? @t @mikewest @bcrypt @W3CAB

Replying to @null and @sideshowbarker

Agreed, but I’m not sure we can switch to full self-review either. Some parts are hard. @t @mikewest @bcrypt @W3CAB

↺ 12

Replying to @AntonioCasilli

That’s unfair, G+ has the best privacy! You can post anything there and be absolutely certain that no one will ever read it.

Replying to @ppk

That’s just because you’ve been through too much of this :) Apart from a few low-hanging fruits, this is pretty much unusable.

Replying to @ppk

Does it detect that the control does something useful instead of just supporting the type?

Replying to @ppk

Yeah, it’s a complete fuck-up at this point. I wonder if we shouldn’t just scrap them and go from scratch.

Replying to @danbri

Wow, that’s sexy! I’ve been wondering if RDF might be used in network sciences or not.

Replying to @danbri

Hmmm, I hadn’t thought about RDF graphs being so often bipartite, that’s quite different from the Web graph.

Replying to @danbri

Is that something you’re seeing from the crawl? I wonder if it has some specific impact.

Replying to @danbri

Isn’t that a general property of bipartite graphs though?

@sgalineau Why you not put github.com/adobe-webplatf… in NPM? WHY YOU TAUNT US WITH package.json ANYWAY?

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

Also, while it’s Christmas, it’d be cool if it could wrap the first letter in a span for you, too :)

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

You mean for every language?

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

Hmmm. I guess one could traverse to the first non-null and displayed text node?

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried; then I saw what I was doing and slammed my head in.

@tabatkins Is there a way to override the metadata in a Bikeshed document from the outside? E.g. say you want WD instead of ED on the CLI.

Replying to @mikewest

Ah, cool, thanks! I couldn’t find that in the docs. @tabatkins

Replying to @mikewest and @tabatkins

My question then becomes: can we have that from api.csswg.org/bikeshed/ :)

Replying to @domenic and @mikewest, @tabatkins

Sweeeeet, thanks :)

Replying to @domenic and @mikewest, @tabatkins

This should allow us to make Bikeshed source work directly with W3C automated publishing, no pre-conversion :)

Replying to @mikewest

Let me see if I can get it to work, then! @wseltzer @hillbrad @dveditz

Replying to @mikewest

Is there a spec you have that’d be a good first candidate? @wseltzer @hillbrad @dveditz

Replying to @tabatkins

Couldn’t find it initially, but thankfully the Twitters were full of help.

Replying to @bigjmvm

Non, c'est une erreur de typographie que d'inclure une espace pleine devant une ponctuation.

Replying to @bigjmvm

Tu es croquignolet à vouloir donner des leçons de typographie sans connaître le genre de l'espace typographique. Bisous.

Replying to @bigjmvm

Tu peux mettre un quart de quadratin avant une ponctuation haute, pas une espace pleine. Mais reste ignorant, c'est pas grave.

Replying to @yoavweiss

You should ask @marcosc to enter it for automatic publication :) @beep @AurelioDeRosa @jaffathecake

Replying to @yoavweiss

It’s still alpha, but the goal is to get ALL specs to use that. Once set up, it’s pretty straightforward. @marcosc

Replying to @null and @marcosc

How about asking tokens for all WebApps specs? Add a .travis.yml to autopush on commit and \o/ @yoavweiss

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Oh, right, crap. That said: what’s the risk? The token is bound to a URL that can’t change. @yoavweiss

Replying to @null and @marcosc

So by stealing the token, all you can do is re-publish a document already on autopublish… @yoavweiss

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Actually you couldn’t, the token matches a URL prefix: you could only publish from the same source. @yoavweiss

Replying to @null and @marcosc

You could publish the index.html without the other files by pointing to that instead of the manifest, I guess. @yoavweiss

Replying to @rdeltour

Oooh, nice! Thanks :) @marcosc @yoavweiss
