That's every May 1st, there's a big heterogeneous march of the far right. Being close to the presidency, it's likely to be big this year.
All the same, it matches what I actually see when commuting (or from my kids).

I have several hypotheses. 1/ MOOCs tend to follow a format matching university classes. They won’t help those for whom that didn’t work out
2/ They often assume the ability to dedicate a solid chunk of time at once. This won’t work if your spare time is «interstitial».
3/ Video is a bad format for commuting (esp. by car). Who commutes most? Not the rich.

I know lots of you are doing good with MOOCs. I’m not pointing fingers, just saying we can do better than college-educated talks to same.

I always thought Continuum was just for Office?
That’s very cool! Everything I read was all about Office, Office, Office so I’ll admit I just dozed off…
Gotcha. When I see «Office» I think of all the work I do to turn Word documents into something sensible; I don’t get excited much ;)

Oui, mais je ne sais pas comment tu organises les ateliers :) En tout cas je suis curieux d’avoir ton avis.
De mon coté j’avais commencé à dév une plateforme collaborative, mais certaines parties sont bien complexes (& depuis il y a d’autres trucs)

JATS quality is overall way too poor for long-term archival. DOI is little more than a way to "look real".
Because the data model is severely underconstrained and extremely print/visual oriented (to the detriment of useful semantics).
This is not the fault of the JATS people: their job was to unify all the proprietary XML publishers made, so they made a _target_ format.

It’s super easy to get information into it; if you’ve ever tried to get more than superficial information out of it, you know how bad it is.
A great example is PubMed supplemental data commonly having as its sole metadata «Click here to download» — because that’s what renders.
A good solution is HTML with embedded RDF (we can debate the forms). In terms of long-term semantics preservation, it can’t be beat.
Going into details over 140c is going to be hard :) But you have to assume a future in which a lot is lost. No need for the apocalypse…

C'est un principe universel: les incompétents ne voient pas leur propre incompétence.
Incompétent != stupide. Il y a un état d’esprit particulier à l’aveuglement vis-à-vis de son incompétence propre.
Tu veux dire un sabordage volontaire?
C’est sûr, mais il n’y a pas de raison de foirer volontairement. Le fake est mauvais parce que qui l’a fait ne sait pas qu’il ne sait pas…
Ah oui, je ne doute pas qu’ils savent qu’ils mentent. Mais c’est différent de faire un fake volontairement mauvais.
Le même fake, tout aussi intentionnel, aurait pu être beaucoup plus crédible.
I am well aware, but it's the default for this dialog and therefore what almost everyone uses. It's a terrible choice.
Intéressant. Donc tu penses que c’est du débunking volontaire parce que comme ça on en parle deux fois?

Tu as lu le roman avant?
If the contract is enough to guarantee a stable URL, it begs the question: do we need DOIs? :-)
I'm not saying it isn't hard, I understand what's involved. Just that I expect infrastructure providers to be able to manage change.
Pulling the plug on the API does not exactly achieve that gracefully is all I'm saying.
I understand the principle. But that's no different from requiring a contractually that they provide redirects.
Again, I understood the understanding facts, justice not how the contract helps. Or how separating location from archival is sound.

My point is: if the contract is sufficient to ensure an up-to-date index, then it’s sufficient to ensure permanent URLs.
In other words, it would be possible to centralise the contractual obligation without centralising the resolver. The two are distinct.
To put it differently: if the contract works, you don’t need the resolver. If it doesn’t, the resolver will have some rot.

Après oui, pour l’autre on verra sur les actes — j’attends :)
How is that more fragile than centralising the same?
They manage things far more intrinsically complex like handling HTTP requests. Why is this special?
But you’re drifting towards a discussion of DOI in general. I think the fact that DOI is problematic is basically assumed in Web circles.
My question is more specifically about the value that the contract supposedly brings to the setup. I don’t really see it is all I’m saying.

Ha! LD is RDF-compatible but largely designed by RDF-haters. You can almost completely ignore the RDF bits, many people do.
But yeah, I certainly did find a lot more use (and interest from people) in the real world than there is in standards.
I don't think RDFa ignores the RDF bits, it's even in the name :-) Consuming JSON-LD is JSON.parse(src) (which admittedly is disputed).
Oh, that's crap yeah. But schema.org RDFa is broadly deployed (comparable to OGP in magnitude I reckon) and processes as RDF.

I am not analogising RDF and the Nazis, I am analogising your insistence to bring in RDF with some people’s insistence to bring in Nazis.
Sort of parallelising with Godwin, if you will.
In my view of the historical context yes, bringing in RDF is to call for flaming. I don’t understand why anyone would do that.
You keep saying «it had the string RDF»; that’s like telling someone they can’t spell because they say «Referer» in HTTP.
Right. I’ve offered explanations for different PoVs. I’ve apologised if I’ve hurt your feelings. I’ve offered constructive ways forward…

What if we made a simple, straightforward «Intervention CoC» (maybe with a better name) and rendered it common/normal to just drop the link?

A lot of us tried RDF and gave up, not because it's new but because it has dreadful ergonomics. I mean, something as basic as arrays is pain
JSON-LD makes it usable, but that's mostly because you can ignore RDF is involved. And RDF bugs still spillover in modelling.
Oh, well, if the whole Web stack needs to be built on it then it’s a solved problem: that’ll never happen, so we can just drop it!
Either you can hack it or it won’t happen. Arrogance towards hacking never worked, never will. It’s the only thing that changes the world.
And, by the way, real-world distributed web work is done with what you call «JS hacking», eg. github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs.
Both of those are *extremely* hackable. In fact, all we did for the first ten-fifteen years was manage them with hacks.
Nevertheless, the Web persisted.
It’s easy to validate schema.org. People don’t bother because the point is resilience over correctness — classic Web format.

We use LD, a lot. We’d be in that list. Yet we stay as far as possible from treating it as RDF, because only bad things happen there.

This document also seems to harbour notions of how interoperability is achieved that are anchored in a previous century, no?
Other than that this all seems solvable; I’ll let you know if I become a consultant in this space again :)

It completely depends on the type of contracts. Purely structural? JSON Schema oughta work. Semantic? Use JSON-LD and SemWeb validation.
For instance, we completely ignore the RDFness but we have customers who use SHACL on what we output.
↺ 1
For our own stuff, we just use defaults everywhere and make processing resilient to errors. That’s a very strong contract, too.
Depends of what you mean by «friendly»! If it’s «works with», JSON Schema can do that form of extreme coupling perfectly well. It’ll work.
♥ 1
If however you mean «in the spirit of what draws people to JSON» you just can’t. That degree of coupling is painful and costly, always.
♥ 1
XML was not designed to be used like that any more than JSON was. It’s not the syntax that’s unfriendly, it’s the overhead from coupling.
♥ 1
So if you want to make that world «friendly», you want to revisit your architectural decisions before you revisit the format :)
♥ 1
XML doesn’t do any of that either, which is also why people were drawn to it. That sort of stuff was added in later layers, like XML Schema.
XML Schema only had limited areas of success because in practice only a tiny fraction of situations call for any manner of tight coupling.
For most XML users, XML Schema didn’t make it useful, it made it painful. Especially given its initial interoperability was basically a joke
♥ 1
I was asking a serious question, Dan :)
If the architecture works for you & you just want the same for JSON, just use JSON Schema. AFAIK it can validate more powerfully than XSD.
I spent 4 years maintaining an XSD implementation; I took a quick peak at a random zip there, found nothing that looks all that hairy…
XSD is a rather weak validation tool. I saw nothing at a quick glance that couldn’t be automatically converted to JSON Schema.
But then you’d have to pay me a whole lot more than just holding my beer to look at namespaces with embedded version strings :)
It’s an old practice, see berjon.com/xmlbp-hard-to-… or berjon.com/xmlbp-naive-ve… for some bits. Also, @ndw in w3.org/2001/tag/issue… :-D

I don't disagree. I've long thought of XSD as the PHP of XML. If you're reasonable and know what you're doing, you can do fine things.
Problems arise when you have to deal with other people's schemata. I don't think those scars are ever going away.
Absolutely. And people use schema design tools that are less than helpful.

“Floating labels are problematic” by Adam Silver medium.com/simple-human/f… (via @nhoizey)
♥ 2
The contrast issue cannot be fixed with design. If the label has low contrast it’s hard to read; ½
if it has high contrast and is used as placeholder, it looks like the field is filled. 2/2
Also, most implementations are brittle to variations of zooming, unexpected font change, etc. And when they break your form is screwed.
If you increase it always the field looks filled; if you increase on focus then you need to focus to read: pretty bad usability!
That’s the problem with floating labels: they try to be both label and placeholder. I’ve never seen an implementation succeed at that.
