| 15:41 | <annevk> | Sec-CH-UA-WoW64 World of Warcraft? |
| 15:48 | <Sam Sneddon [:gsnedders]> | hmm, but what does that make WoW on WoW64? |
| 15:51 | <Eric Meyer> | WoWoW |
| 16:26 | <Alan Stearns> | WOW64 is WOW Ultra-Classic, originally played on a PDP-1 |
| 16:27 | <annevk> |
|
| 16:33 | <annevk> | 18-bit word size, wow |
| 17:18 | <Domenic> | Kinda sad how we thought UA client hints would be a beautiful modern API and we keep just adding stuff onto it that make it stranger. (E.g. Sec-CH-UA-WoW64 separate from arch or bitness; Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version already being deprecated and replaced with the strangely-named Sec-CH-UA-Full-Version-List) |
| 17:29 | <annevk> | I'm still not sold on the general idea of client hints; https://github.com/WICG/ua-client-hints/issues/155 |
| 19:40 | <miketayl_r> | Domenic: yeah, hard to make everything beautiful and perfect on the first go |
| 19:42 | <miketayl_r> | Domenic: would you have named full-version-list something different? |
| 19:42 | <miketayl_r> | (it's a mouthful for sure) |
| 19:43 | <Domenic> | miketayl_r: Probably Full-Version. None of the others include their type in the header name. (E.g. it's not Sec-CH-UA-Mobile-Boolean or Sec-CH-UA-List.) But of course Full-Version is taken, because it launched for a few milestones... |
| 19:43 | <miketayl_r> | changing the type of the already existing full-version seemed risky |
| 19:44 | <miketayl_r> | but yeah, i had considered it |
| 19:44 | <Domenic> | Yep. No good solutions. Just kinda sad that what was supposed to be greenfield quickly turned into a similar brownfield as the existing User-Agent header. |
| 19:45 | <miketayl_r> | maybe in 5 or 10 years we will have removed the warts ^__^ |
| 19:45 | <Domenic> | But this is basically just the usual sadness that theoretical purity gets pushed to the bottom of the list ^_^ |
| 19:46 | <miketayl_r> | we can ship UA-CH2 in our hearts |
