Ooh, cool!

Replying to @marie_ototoi

Merci!

Replying to @gordonbrander

I was wondering about that but unsure since I don't game. I'll pass it on, thanks! @jesseschell

Whoa, I was not aware that ux and newsgroups could share a thread like that :-) @mpt

Reprise ou début? J'ai jamais rien reçu!

J'ai pas dû recevoir la confirmation, je suis sûr de m'être inscrit au Tank :-)
Is it just me or have the TSA started making an effort to act somewhat more like, you know, humans?

Yeah, I've been wondering about that, but they seemed to be nice to all. One can hope!

I didn’t want to add a rant on @GitHub but the change was completely baffling usability-wise and really annoying. @AtomEditor

Replying to @null and @wion, @storyneedle

Actually, «block» elements aren’t a defined notion (see w3.org/TR/html5/dom.h…) and things colloquially called block 1/2

Replying to @tomdale

In open standards, what's weird is people who don't :-)

Perfect gif!

Who are you and what have you done with my good old grumpy friend Marcos?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

And semicolons. Programming quality is all about semicolons.

Obviously, but that doesn't feel guttural enough to convey how I feel about them :-)
Vous dites comment «scholarly publishing» en français?

Replying to @foldedfish

Obviously, but I’m more looking for «I went there yesterday, they have great pool tables but it’s a ____».

Replying to @null and @tkissing

Ha! Well played!

I hope this means @jensimmons gets an account with you :-)

Pour l’instant je suis sur «publication de recherche» mais je ne suis pas sûr non plus. Académique ça ne couvre qu’une partie!

Replying to @rdeltour

C’est flou mais tout le monde comprend de quoi tu parles :)

Je vais soumettre un article qui utilise ce terme à une revue de bibio — si ça passe j’imagine que c’est bon :)

Dear Google, is Chrome really such a sorry browser that you need to constantly nag me to switch to it?

Not enough expletives.

You could do a series.

Replying to @briankardell

I would totally read a series of your choiciest expletives about accessibility.
I wonder if within a couple years Electron apps might not be what ends up making Linux on the desktop usable.

Replying to @fabricedesre

Why? IIRC that’s one of the few parts of Linux UI that actually has some decent implementations.

Replying to @fabricedesre

I don’t know, it’s been a good ten years since I’ve used desktop Linux to be honest :)

I don't understand how it was so detached before, this is the course correction I've been waiting for for a long time!

I wish there were a syndrome name for that.

Replying to @jaffathecake

C) Has always been full stack because that's all there was twenty years ago?

Replying to @jaffathecake

My thoughts exactly. I reckon started full-stack is before ~2000 or after ~2010, in between started specialist.
↺ 1

Replying to @patrick_h_lauke

Also, as an equivalent of full-stack it meant that you knew where to find the filters menu in Photoshop. @jaffathecake

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Yeah, back in 96 this was just a temp gig while I figured out what I wanted to do. Should get to it. @patrick_h_lauke @jaffathecake

Replying to @null and @marcosc

And graphics editing was so much more fun with no layers and a single level of undo. @patrick_h_lauke @jaffathecake

Replying to @null and @marcosc, @patrick_h_lauke, @jaffathecake

Kiddo, that's how Photoshop was! Warez on Zip drives from the guy at that seedy computer shop.

Anyway, the nurse says I should stop being agitated like this.

.@ScienceBritain @mattwridley For this to be valid you'd have to compare pre/post effect of joining. As science goes, your post is a joke.

With @kiphampton and @simonstl we'd imagined that for website reviews :-)

Crayola has this service where they turn any drawing into a real stuffed animal. Yeah, it’s, uh, for the kids. imaginables.crayola.com

Replying to @blahah404

But to @mrgunn’s point, breaking a market stronghold requires investment. Keeping VC away is a pro-status-quo stance. @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I think you have a somewhat biased view of VCs. Several foundations are VCs, eg Knight — not there to «cash out» @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

If you want to change things at scale & over time, you need a sustainable organisation, beyond ad hoc financing. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

Building a business is actually a pretty good way of supporting sustainable change. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

But how do you tell them apart? They don’t have special hats :) @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

IME that’s not how it pans out. Some foundations are tax dodges, invest in nasty stuff; some funds want to… @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

…change the world. It’s much more complicated. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

Sure, but at that point you’re better off looking at the actual business being ventured into. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I agree — but that’s completely different from rejecting VC, as initially conveyed by @mrgunn. @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I think that’s where we disagree :) Maybe I’ve just been lucky and worked with good people. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

Unless profits are reinvested in further improvements. This is getting a bit circular… @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

Again, I think that’s brutally simplistic. Public at how much remove? How different makes «another way»? @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

That sort of constraint is how you end up spending more time reporting than doing. @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I agree there’s a line to draw — I think the problem is we haven’t drawn any at this point :) @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but you haven’t seen our profit margins yet ;-p @mrgunn @csarven

Replying to @blahah404

I’ll be interested in hearing your feedback on announcements we’ll be making soon :) @mrgunn @csarven

That was also @davidbaron’s argument against Web Fonts :)

Replying to @tigt_

I know, it really sucks. Then everyone acts surprised that people use a million nested <div> with twenty classes each.

Replying to @tigt_

Hmmm. Now that would be the best piece of news since SVG coming to IE.

You did, but it was a *very* long time ago — doesn’t matter! I just quoted it because it was funny in context. @hexalys

Yeah, .has is just sugar, already doable.

Pas mal, mais trop techniques à mon goût. Moi je suis comme Souchon, j'veux du cuir.

Replying to @null and @ndw

Why not use the API instead? It has everything.

Replying to @null and @ndw

I'm mobile, poor connection, but you can find a "w3capi" module in W3C's github, it has details.
Remember when @amazon was considered a reference in Web development best practices? What happened to them?

Replying to @vgholkar

Nah, they already were. It's like they fell asleep in 2006 or something.

Replying to @null and @jar346

Srsly? And there's no other CTO in the world?

Replying to @null and @jar346

It sure seems possible, but still: they could find someone who's used a phone once or twice.

Replying to @vgholkar

For instance it's a joke on mobile.

Replying to @vgholkar

I'm sure it's substantial.

Replying to @null and @marcosc, @ndw

Yes, had I known what you were after I'd have suggested that :-) Less data overall and not just W3C but easier to use.

Replying to @null and @marcosc, @ndw

Also, I made a nice client library for you to use, you didn't have to use Python :-*
