| 10:06 | <annevk> | Hixie, "The closing attribute must return false until the "kill a worker" processing model defined below sets it to false." |
| 12:49 | <Lachy> | Hixie, yt? |
| 12:55 | <Lachy> | never mind. |
| 13:34 | <maikmerten> | hmm... as for the audio canvas... I was about to write to the list that this might have security implications (generate signals damaging amplifiers, speakers and ears), but then I recognized that this works nicely with prerecorded audio files as well ;) |
| 13:35 | <Philip`> | You could make a page with a very loud 20kHz background sound, so that most people won't even notice it but small children and dogs will get very annoyed |
| 13:35 | <maikmerten> | aye |
| 13:37 | <maikmerten> | perhaps in future Creative will try to sell "security enabled" soundcards and speaker systems that detect potentially harmful audio signals ;) |
| 13:38 | <Philip`> | Or you could just buy cheap speakers with a very limited frequency range and volume :-) |
| 13:38 | <maikmerten> | :) |
| 13:41 | Philip` | wonders when we'll get microphone and webcam APIs |
| 13:42 | <annevk> | http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Jul/0354.html -_- |
| 14:01 | <gDashiva> | Philip`: Well, flash does it already, doesn't it? |
| 14:36 | <Lachy> | krijn, yt? |
| 14:50 | <krijn> | Lachy: yes |
| 19:26 | <tusho> | What would be a good tag for 'actual page'? |
| 19:27 | <tusho> | Header, actual page, footer |
| 19:51 | <Hixie> | this global object nonsense is going to be painful to specify |
| 21:27 | <Hixie> | i just found an occurance of "the the" in the spec |
| 21:27 | <Hixie> | which due to copy/paste over the past few months |
| 21:27 | <Hixie> | was actually four occurances |
| 21:27 | <Hixie> | yay copy/paste. |
| 21:28 | <Hixie> | it's sad that i only write new words like 10% of the time |
| 21:28 | <Hixie> | i almost always just find something that says vaguely what i want to say and then fix it up |
| 21:29 | <takkaria> | sounds like coding |
| 21:35 | <Philip`> | That makes the spec more accessible to low-bandwidth users, since copied-and-pasted text gets good gzip compression |
| 21:36 | <Hixie> | hah |
| 21:44 | <gsnedders> | ergh. |
| 21:46 | <gsnedders> | the postprocessor strips everything apart from ASCII alphanumeric characters and spaces for xref |
| 21:48 | <gsnedders> | and I don't do that |
| 21:48 | <gsnedders> | causes compat. issues for HTML 5 |
| 21:49 | <gsnedders> | It also makes NFD é == e |
| 22:12 | <gsnedders> | it's behaviour is so weird all over the place |
| 22:12 | <gsnedders> | I'm going insane. |
| 22:12 | <gsnedders> | (and of course things like HTML 5 _rely_ on that behaviour) |
| 22:16 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: Why not just fix HTML 5? |
| 22:16 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: other specs will rely on it too |
| 22:16 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: so better have it in w3c-compat mode |
| 22:16 | <gsnedders> | (I won't have it in the non-compat mode, though) |
| 23:04 | <gsnedders> | Hixie: I now have a copy of the spec-gen that is quicker than the W3C CSS WG Postprocessor! |
| 23:05 | <gsnedders> | 0m3.752s |
| 23:06 | <Philip`> | On a many-gigahertz multi-core processor? |
| 23:07 | <gsnedders> | On a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MBP :) |
| 23:07 | <Philip`> | That's an awful lot of clock cycles just to process a text file |
| 23:07 | <gsnedders> | It can certainly be made quicker still |
