| 03:30 | <Dominic Farolino> | Hmm, well I'd think if you're already threading it through subscribe() (to unsubscribe later), then threading it through more places is the same amount of effort. Otherwise it sounds like a discussion about how practical AbortController/Signal is in general, I guess. |
| 08:03 | <zcorpan> | Dominic Farolino: Can you take another look at https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/45650 ? ty :) |
| 08:41 | <annevk> | Dominic Farolino: well you could imagine it being exposed to the callback so whoever is writing the callback doesn't need to know about who is subscribing directly |
| 08:43 | <annevk> | Though we don't offer that with addEventListener() either I suppose, but I could imagine wanting that. Perhaps AsyncContext will help with these cases. |
| 13:48 | <lustigerleo> | Hi folks, I'm not so much a developer myself as a media archaeologist. I'm currently writing a thesis on the history and development of web browsers and wanted to ask if there are any people here who were involved in the founding of the WHATWG, could put me in touch with such people or could simply tell me something about the history of the WHATWG themselves. It doesn't matter how small or subjective these stories are, but it would help me a lot and maybe it would help to organize the great history of the web and present it to other people. I would be very happy to hear from people. Best regards from Lüneburg Leonard :) |

| 23:24 | <sideshowbarker> | About the Disclosures regarding contributions part of the WHATWG Intellectual Property Rights Policy: I notice it says this (emphasis added):
So, Entities are not required to make (patent) disclosures, but Individuals are? |
