WHATWG on 2023-03-25

02:34	<Domenic>	Sneaky fast-paths...
02:35	<Domenic>	Is anybody planning to attend any part of the IETF meeting next week in Yokohama? Looking at the agenda at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/agenda/ I don’t find much of anything relevant except for a session on Wednesday about the Web Transport protocol — https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/agenda-116-webtrans-01 Several people from Chrome Tokyo are attending, but not me
03:17	<sideshowbarker>	Several people from Chrome Tokyo are attending, but not me Do you know which sessions they're attending?
03:20	<sideshowbarker>	Except for the WebTransport protocol session, the closest other things that I see in the agenda were some QUIC sessions and a WebRTC-related WISH sesssion
03:21	<Domenic>	I think it's mostly for personal enrichment, so they'll probably pick which session sound interesting to them. I'd guess the HTTPWG might be relevant too?
03:21	<sideshowbarker>	ah yeah there’s always HTTP stuff yeah
03:23	<sideshowbarker>	I wish they had at least one informal thing that was open to anybody without need to pay the registration fee
03:24	<sideshowbarker>	Otherwise for me personally at least, it’s hard to justify the relatively-steep registration fee, which I think is 375 USD minimum just to attend one day
03:25	<Domenic>	Yeah I was pretty impressed with the prices as well
03:28	<jesup>	Compared to hotel and travel costs (for 99% of attendees), the registration isn't large. Locals are obviously different
03:30	<sideshowbarker>	Yeah
03:53	<sideshowbarker>	Yeah I was pretty impressed with the prices as well The fact that the prices are so high is even more impressive when you look at the IETF’s budget figures and see that registration fees seem to only cover about half of the gross cost of the meetings. A big part of the rest of meeting costs are covered by sponsorship — but even after all that, the IETF still ends up spending several hundred thousand dollars of their own money on meetings each year. I think their annual gross cost for their meetings is about 4 million USD — so, at three meetings a year, it seems like the total price tag for each meeting must be more than 1 million USD.
11:27	<annevk>	Domenic: I vaguely recall you complaining about "base": "about:blank" at some point, I fixed it: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/39203
11:28	<annevk>	Was looking at some WebKit test failures and turns out some of the tests were wrong instead
