If you’re looking for webidl2.js, I have now transferred it. Thanks to @w3c & @dontcallmeDOM for taking over! github.com/w3c/webidl2.js

I know, starting that work was actually my idea. But progress is slow and painful (for evident reasons).
That seems weird!

Ça dépend aussi beaucoup des heures auxquelles les poids lourds ont le droit de circuler.
Je pensais ça aussi avant de bouger à NYC. Zéro maladie ORL de l’hiver sur nous 4 c’était juste impensable!
And we all know it’s «Queen B» for Berjon!

Am I the only one made slightly seasick by @Medium’s footer that keeps floating up and down?
S’ils s’en servent pour peser oui, mais là ils avaient surtout l’air d’expliquer que c’était pour les impôts locaux.
Is there something faster than wc -l to count the lines in a text file? Big files are big.

Ah cool, merci!
Mec, awk quoi!
Vu comme ça, ça a l’air plus lent que fgrep.
~90s au lieu de ~120s, donc c’est appréciable!
lol. Trust data people to take it full throttle.
Is leveldown (through LevelUP) a decent option for 500 million records, primarily for decently fast retrieval?
Je ne suis pas à ce point aux pièces :)
Is it bad to be excited about a textbook? I can't wait to get my copy :-)
Non, «pussy» a clairement un sens de «efféminé». C’est bien une insulte de crapule réac. @quatremer @DominiqueReynie

You can build with "on" but it gets painful very fast.
I got a computer to type my philosophy stuff on. It had Web! I never got anywhere with philosophy.

I'd had computers before, but they didn't have other people inside. The other people inside made the tech interesting, even riveting.

Yes, it definitely has very annoying limits. I also use «la personne», but it gets heavy too.
Wow! You’ll be missed! I hope your next gig is fun and rewarding.

Wiley have a contract with @sciencedotai, I hope to help fix this sort of thing, but it's not deployed yet.

That's why we implemented Word support first, it's 85% of research.

That said, frankly, from a document processing perspective, Word is no worse than LaTeX, just differently bad ;-)

As would I, but the standard isn't clear enough so you end up handling specific implementation idiosyncrasies...
The lunch would depend on the local food culture :-) Workshop is best. I'd never show up to a hackathon, so tedious.
I'm really sorry to hear that :-(

I wonder what we couldn't devise a security policy to make SVG safe, helping it reach those last places.
CSP has the tech, but I’m thinking more of «use this magic string with all user SVG, and you’ll be safe». @AmeliasBrain
I mean in *outreach*. I'm assuming the reason so many block SVG is because they don't know or think about it. @AmeliasBrain

Well, but of course :)
Oui, il faut supporter les cons, surtout le samedi soir. En semaine ça peut être très sympa ceci dit.

Has someone written a guide to how to manage issues properly in an open source project? I’d like a pointer for a group but can’t find any.
♥ 2
Yes, this is super important — but it looks like the WPWG needs some work on issues before getting to that :)
That being said, it was part of the initial plan to make HTML more editable…
Semver for issues?
I know the value of semver, we use it a lot internally — but it won’t help here.
I don’t think that’s the key. Some participants in WPWG are using issues wrong. Crash-course needed.
Qui?
No. People are using issues like mailing lists — it’s horrible. Eg. they mix up everything under one place.
If it weren’t standards there wouldn’t be a problem; people in open source know how to do issue :)
All of the above :-) But mostly people doing standards and their community.
Essentially to foster effective collaboration in a group that is a lot like open source, but without the culture.
As in many other cases I think it comes down to communicating briefly and clearly how you expect others to engage. @getify
Some projects I depend upon I don't want to "get involved" with, just provide a small fix I found. We should make that work for all.
This is a nice thread, thank you for it. Do you think it might be worth putting it in a document that projects could reference?
indeed, thanks :-)
Haha, «# TODO Describe the docs maintainers role» in github.com/docker/docker/… :)

However, in this case I’m looking for much simpler. Eg to avoid github.com/w3c/html/issue… which is chaos 1/n @attiks @YesCT

Run XSLT 3.0 in the browser, in JS: saxonica.com/saxon-js/index…
Could this be used to replace browsers’ engines when needed?
♥ 6↺ 5
I was wondering if you'd want to replace your built in processor with a js one loaded on the fly?
ISTR someone saying they couldn't drop it but would like it in js so the browser would load it on demand, less memory. I forget who
It comes in pretty handy when you get XML. And in some domains, that's often. But otherwise, no, not much. @marcosc
I'm pretty sure anything else would be too heavy. I don't think a build step is a huge limitation.
I know, but I need new XSLT sheets rarely enough that I don't mind.
I know, but last time I had to port some XSLT to JS it took a couple of days. It's well worth it.
Yes! The reason was there was no good option. Maybe @michaelhkay could help now. @marcosc
Pour moi ça a marché deux fois, après elle me renvoie la question :-)

Completely forgot to include scraps of Latin, Ancient Greek, and Spanish. I guess it doesn't count if you can't use them anymore :-)
The class wasn't available to me at my school so I bought a book and worked on it myself. Didn't get all that far, though :-)
Wow, that's a properly rounded up education!
Come on, don't pretend you've forgotten Perl, it never leaves you!

I went on to read philosophy at a place where Kant was considered contemporary, so I've known old-fashioned! Classical geek :-)
Yeah, right next to where I am people got into a fight with *harpoons* over a burkini FFS...
I so wish I could be attending #CCS and other complexity conferences...

@AirFranceFR Bonjour, le check-in plante. Avec enfants j'aimerais éviter des places infernales. Pouvez-vous m'aider?
Entre temps j'ai appelé, merci.
Je ne comprends pas, quel serait le problème d'avoir financé une mosquée?

I fear — especially with TPAC coming up — that Tumblr’s changes may have broken @w3cmemes :( I hope they will find a way!
It took a while to build, but I hope this can really help browser interoperability at last.
