So https://twitter.com/annevk/status/1313805658588938240 got 190 votes and single-page is close to 42%, multi-page 34%, dev edition 5%, and some comments cover the remainder

Based on this very scientific study I suggest we leave things unchanged

<JakeA>
What's the current state of 'internal slots'? What's the point of using them rather then just saying "[=Foo=] has a <dfn>bar</dfn>"?
12:49
<annevk>
If we had specification-wide search it could put multi-page in the lead, but I doubt that would ever be as fast
12:50
<annevk>
JakeA: they are still equivalent, nothing formalized one way or another
12:50
<annevk>
JakeA: perhaps Bikeshed has some shorthand syntax for slots these days? Not sure

I prefer "has a" style and regret using slots in Streams and probably being responsible for a lot of usage of them.
14:03
<jgraham>
How does the "has a" style work? e.g. if I want to check if a js object is a Map
14:04
<annevk>
I mostly wish we had a consistent style that was part of IDL so we wouldn't have to define a large number of getters and we could some issues for Event classes more easily
14:05
<annevk>
Maybe there are alternative solutions for Event classes if everyone does them in the same way, but still
14:05
<annevk>
jgraham: for that case it doesn't
14:05
<annevk>
jgraham: this is about IDL platform objects
14:06
<jgraham>
Oh just for platform objects
14:06
<jgraham>
That makes sense

<annevk>
Domenic: so I "discovered" another magical end tag
14:17
<annevk>
(context: HTML issues)
15:02
<Domenic>
annevk: magical end tag?
15:03
<annevk>
Domenic: like </svg> (when it pops something from the stack) queues a task
15:04
<annevk>
s/like//
15:04
<annevk>
(I don't like it)
15:34
<Domenic>
Oh I caught up to my email

People implemented a lot of weird things back in the day
15:40
<annevk>
And I guess they'll say the same about us some time from now
15:40
<annevk>
But hopefully a bit less

hober: that is some amazing ASCII art in https://tess.oconnor.cx/2020/10/parties#users
17:02
<Domenic>
Unicode art, I should say
17:03
<annevk>
oh my, it has HTTPS today \o/
17:41
<hober>
Domenic: I made sure it was 80x24 so it would fit on a terminal :)
17:41
<hober>
annevk: yeah, actually writing a blog post was the pressure i needed to finally fix my letsencrypt setup
17:42
<hober>
i suppose it'll break again in a few months
