| 05:59 | <MikeSmith> | annevk: about the sale of the .org registry, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/11/nonprofit-community-stands-together-protect-org |
| 05:59 | <MikeSmith> | and a lot more background at https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/20/org_registry_sale_shambles/ |
| 10:52 | <ErwinOlie> | What does HTML stand for? "Hyper Text Markup Language" or "HyperText Markup Language"? |
| 16:27 | <eeeps> | annevk: how should I initialize a numeric value, in Fetch? e.g., "A _response_ has a **whatever**, which [is initially unset | is initially set to zero | unless stated otherwise, is null | ?]" |
| 16:30 | <annevk> | eeeps: which is an unsigned integer. It's initially 0? |
| 16:30 | <annevk> | eeeps: "it depends" 🙂 |
| 16:31 | <eeeps> | It's nothing until a header is read (and then it'll be a float) |
| 16:31 | <eeeps> | 0 = nothing? Or is there a notion of "unset" or "null" for numeric values? |
| 16:32 | <eeeps> | I should say, "nothing unless a header is present" |
| 16:32 | <annevk> | eeeps: use null |
| 16:33 | <annevk> | eeeps: unless float 0 has an identical meaning somehow |
| 16:33 | <eeeps> | Ok, great. Thanks! |
| 16:34 | <annevk> | eeeps: https://github.com/whatwg/infra/issues/87 is the issue on this FWIW. But if you need a non-numeric value you should say so in the type definition: "which is null or a float. It's initially null." |
| 16:36 | <eeeps> | Perfect. Thank you! |
| 16:45 | <bradleymeck> | why does `text/html;charset="";charset=GBK` come out to GBK ? it looks like https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#parsing-a-mime-type allows empty strings for quoted form |
| 16:45 | <bradleymeck> | it has a test, so is this a spec bug? |
| 16:49 | <bradleymeck> | nm, my tests are wildly out of date and that line is gone |
