Replying to @tobie and @amyvdh

I don’t think it’s a question of species evolution, that would take forever at our scale.

Replying to @tobie and @amyvdh

It’s a question of inventing the checks and balances that would networks with a different scarcities or constraints work.

Replying to @tobie and @amyvdh

Dumb example: if you’re tired of seeing people, you can just go home and expect that normally people won’t barge in.

Replying to @tobie and @amyvdh

It seems obvious to us, but those boundaries and conventions had to be invented.

Replying to @tobie and @amyvdh

Maybe if we sat down and thought hard about how we want our social network to work, we could devise the means for it.

Replying to @tobie

I don’t think we had it IRL, not at the level of many conventions that work for us. We didn’t have houses at that time scale.

Replying to @tobie

I think these are solvable problems; the first step is to realise that they are :)

Replying to @torgo and @tobie, @amyvdh

When Twitter started us IRC people just called it «Slow IRC». Isn’t Slack just stepping back (with nice emoji)?

That’s probably one of the most tested processors out there, short of tex itself. It’s been tried on the arXiv…

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

Spending ads on a non-voting brooklynite is beyond a bad decision!

Replying to @null and @SimonDeDeo

Not that I'm aware of. My use case for LaTeXML was porting it to JavaScript to process tex in the browser. But back-burnered it.

Has anyone done work on how docx stores language information? It seems to be one of the worst train wrecks in internationalisation history.

Replying to @e_w

Replying to @innovimax

Well, I can’t test that because the Mac version doesn’t do bidi at all. But I’m just interested in identifying the language :)

Replying to @innovimax

A few? To use the correct lang in HTML afterwards.

Replying to @innovimax

No no, in the *docx*!

Replying to @null and @dauwhe

Do you know if anyone’s written up an algorithm to figure that out? Would be happy to collaborate.

Replying to @null and @dauwhe

From what I infer it seems you need to look at the three provided languages, and guess which one to use based on content.

Replying to @null and @dauwhe

Yeah, anytime a language is set it sets three: lang, eastAsian, and other. Then it picks one to actually use.

Replying to @gimsieke and @fsasaki

I know w:lang, but in real content I always see w:val *and* w:eastAsia *and* w:bidi set, all with BCP47. @rdeltour

Replying to @gimsieke and @fsasaki

And trying to set language to, eg. Arabic, changed w:eastAsia but left w:val to ‘en-GB’. @rdeltour

Replying to @gimsieke

Right, so it’s the total train-wreck that I thought. Thanks! cc @fsasaki @rdeltour

Replying to @gimsieke

Yeah, and I wanted to create tests but Mac Word doesn’t do Hebrew or Arabic anyway… @fsasaki @rdeltour

When I evaluated Polymer it was a huge hog; it’s great that it’s changed but porting is not a real option at this time.

Replying to @slightlylate

The problem is having visibility over what is not justifiable. What is it? Where did it come from?

Replying to @slightlylate

Eg I’m trying to limit polyfilling to only the parts that are needed — but it’s *far* down the dependency stack.

Replying to @slightlylate

A lot of the time what the dev loads up is justified, what’s loaded n levels down might not be.

Eg just yesterday a dev added a library for slug support. Sensible. Regression: build grew by 1.7Mb.

Replying to @slightlylate

L'idée de l'EFF est bonne, mais mentir comme le fait le @WHATWG diminue ses chances.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

No, I'm mad because the @WHATWG spreading FUD and bullshit completely kills the credibility of the covenant idea.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Asking for something by lying blatantly taints it by association. @WHATWG @w3c

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Right, that post is so factual I'm surprised @Hixie isn't saying he'll build a wall against EME and have the @w3c pay for it.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Oh wait! That's exactly what he's saying!

Replying to @null and @marcosc

The claim that @w3c is doing this to get members is pure conspiracy theory.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

And then the whole thing is predicated on the idea that @w3c started EME rather than Google/Adobe/Apple/Netflix/Microsoft.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

So yeah, it's bollocks facts and totally asinine politics.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I would contend that automobile badly needs a WG, though it's probably true not the one it got.

So would Mozilla sign the covenant? Would it help lobby the others if I made this happen? The result is indeed the right thing.

Is there a reason you can’t `export default const foo = …`?

Replying to @molily

I don’t really see the potential for confusion there, the statement can be parsed deterministically in all cases I can think of.

You can `export default function foo…` and it’s not confusing. The inconsistency drives me mad.

I don’t think that’s true; in both cases you need not name them.

@elrond25 Again, please read the thread. The intent may look good but it’s just lying about the W3C’s behaviour and the source of the issue.

Replying to @elrond25

If it were just opinions I wouldn’t mind, I’m happy with lots of opinions even when I don’t share them.

Replying to @elrond25

But saying W3C is doing this for the money is conspiracy theory. Claiming it comes from W3C instead of browser vendors is a lie.

What annoys me is that I agree with the explicit *motivation* behind the letter, but by lying it’s just hurting that cause.
