<annevk>
really going to bed now
00:28
<annevk>
also <2000 left
03:06
<Hixie>
ok i checked in the details/figure changes
03:08
<othermaciej>
yay!
04:46
<jwalden>
mm, tasty figcaptions
05:00
<karlcow>
good for figcaptions but summary is a mistake imho. element/attribute name being the same. People have hard time to understand the diff betweenn cite="", <cite>
05:00
<karlcow>
oh well.
10:48
<annevk>
it seems the Chrome team is set on beating our version number :-)
10:48
<Dashiva>
They could just pull a slackware
10:49
<Philip`>
Or a Windows
10:49
<annevk>
<figcaption> and <summary>, really?
10:50
<Hixie>
apparently
10:50
<Hixie>
i still think <legend> is better
10:50
annevk
longs for <legend>
10:50
<annevk>
yeah
10:50
<annevk>
toally
10:50
<Hixie>
especially for <details>
10:50
<Hixie>
well for both really
10:50
<annevk>
is there any element name remotely similar to <figcaption>?
10:51
<Hixie>
optgroup, colgroup
10:51
<Hixie>
keyge
10:51
<Hixie>
n
10:51
<annevk>
well, they're the other way around
10:52
<annevk>
oh well
10:52
<Dashiva>
figurecap?
10:52
<Hixie>
other way around?
10:52
<Hixie>
keygen is the other way around
10:52
<Hixie>
optgroup is basically the same thing
10:53
<Hixie>
<option> group -> optgroup, <figure> caption -> figcaption
10:53
<Hixie>
but <legend> is the right answer.
10:53
<Hixie>
just not the popular answer.
10:53
<Hixie>
yay consensus.
10:53
<Hixie>
(assuming we even get consensus.)
10:53
<Dashiva>
Are you tempted to remove it from w3c HTML5 just so it can be added later when <legend> is viable? :P
10:54
<Hixie>
i tried to remove <details>
10:54
<Hixie>
there was an uproar
10:54
<Hixie>
never though i'd see that many complaints about doing something shelley asked for so quickly
10:54
<Dashiva>
Only because you did it voluntarily
10:54
<Hixie>
thought, even
10:54
<Dashiva>
You have to wait for the WG decision
10:56
<annevk>
personally i'd rather drop them both too until <legend> works
10:56
<Hixie>
yeah me too but too many people want them now
10:57
<Hixie>
next time i think of adding something like this i'll make sure it really works, parser-wise, before adding it, since it's easier to keep something popular out than to remove it later.
10:57
<annevk>
yeah, and it's pretty costly at the price of two new elements :/
10:57
<Hixie>
no kidding
10:58
<Hixie>
feel free to raise an objection :-)
10:58
<Hixie>
but i think there's no chance of either <legend> or removal being a WG decision
10:58
<Hixie>
still, at least we can point to this as proof the WHATWG is trying to cooperate :-)
10:59
<Dashiva>
Just find another w3c technology that predates details and does the same thing :P
10:59
Philip`
still doesn't see why making a new element name is worse than overloading an existing name to have different meanings depending on context
11:00
<Dashiva>
More rules to remember
11:00
<annevk>
I wonder if the chairs thought of the consequences for html5-diff when they started making things complex
11:00
<Hixie>
Philip`: having four element names for legends instead of two makes it twice as hard to know which to use when you are in a situation where you need to use one
11:00
<annevk>
Maybe I should just define [HTML5] in html5-diff as the WHATWG copy :p
11:00
<Hixie>
heh
11:00
<Hixie>
works for me :-P
11:00
<Hixie>
the whatwg copy references it :-)
11:29
<annevk>
Hixie, should I file a bug on s/srcdoc/srcDoc/ ?
11:30
<Hixie>
would it improve the web?
11:30
<annevk>
it would improve consistency
11:30
<annevk>
I agree it looks less nice
11:30
<annevk>
but it makes matters more predictable I think
11:30
<annevk>
due to stupid decisions earlier on
11:33
<Hixie>
i dunno that it really helps much in this case
11:33
jwalden
points out http://whereswalden.com/2010/01/29/humor/ for the benefit of anyone here not reading p.m.o (and who, incidentally, have by far the highest probability of understanding it of anyone who might read it :-) )
11:33
<Hixie>
hah
11:33
<roc>
what would srcDoc improve consistency with?
11:34
<roc>
aren't all HTML attributes all lowercase?
11:34
<Hixie>
he's talking about the IDL attribute
11:35
<Dashiva>
Shouldn't it be src-doc in HTML to be srcDoc in IDL?
11:36
<annevk>
not necessarily
11:36
<annevk>
e.g. contentEditable
11:36
<jwalden>
I don't think I care, but: document.createElement("a").hreflang
11:36
<jwalden>
may be the odd man out
11:36
<annevk>
yeah, I just noticed that one
11:36
<Hixie>
i think looking for consistency in HTML and its APIs is a fool's errand
11:36
<Hixie>
i'd just go with what makes the most sense
11:36
<annevk>
I guess hreflang sets a precedence for both
11:37
<jwalden>
I see hreflang as similar because the first word of the compound is abbreviated; are there others like that which are capitalized?
11:37
<Dashiva>
.tBodies
11:37
<jwalden>
or not-abbreviated but lowercase-mashed
11:38
<jwalden>
whoa, that's some funky caps
11:38
jwalden
never would have guessed .tBodies existed
11:39
<annevk>
others are e.g. tabIndex, contextMenu, accessKey, maxLength, readOnly, useMap, isMap
11:39
<jwalden>
bgColor counters hreflang's precedent
11:39
<Dashiva>
I guess it's a bit off topic since there's no a content attribute for it
11:39
<jwalden>
or maybe it's only lower-mash if all parts are abbrevs?
11:39
<annevk>
and a bunch of presentational and obsoleted attributes, noShade, noHref, bgColor, ...
11:40
jwalden
continues on the fool's errand
11:41
<annevk>
vAlign counters that somewhat
11:41
<annevk>
or colSpan
11:55
<Hixie>
ignore the deprecated ones when looking for a pattern to hang this lampshade on
11:55
<Hixie>
we can argue those won't be used by authors so aren't relevant
11:57
<jwalden>
enctype, I'm guessing, isn't deprecated, maybe argues for "short" compounds not being capsed
11:58
<jwalden>
but I'm getting tired of racking brains for obscure element names :-)
12:00
<annevk>
I'm fine with srcdoc, but I also successfully argued for itemId, itemType, itemValue, itemRef, itemProp, and itemScope
12:01
<annevk>
so I guess in the future someone can point at this line on krijnhoetmer.nl and blame me if they got confused
12:01
<Dashiva>
There I'd argue item is a common prefix, so the camelcase is useful
12:02
<Dashiva>
However, srcdoc is abbreviated enough to be equally readable with or without
12:02
<Dashiva>
(in my opinion)
12:02
<annevk>
hopefully the confused people of the future will concur
12:05
<Hixie>
i agree with Dashiva
12:05
<jwalden>
yeah
12:49
<Hixie>
i'm no network person, so if anyone can find a better way to do this:
12:49
<Hixie>
http://damowmow.com/playground/demos/websocket/saturate.html
12:49
<Hixie>
...that would be awesome
12:49
<Hixie>
i'm going to bed now.
12:49
<Hixie>
nn
13:26
<annevk>
is anyone following stuff like http://www.w3.org/TR/contacts-api/ ?
13:27
<annevk>
related, anyone knows if cloning technology is getting any better?
13:53
<annevk>
whoa
13:53
annevk
just read a bunch of messages in the <canvas> accessibility thread

14:32
<gsnedders>
(from Oslo)
14:33
<annevk>
Oslo is cool
14:33
<annevk>
you should go skiing
14:34
<annevk>
some skiing stuff of mine is at Lachy's place
14:34
<annevk>
feel free to borrow
14:34
<gsnedders>
Probably too big for me, tall man.
14:35
<annevk>
the glasses will be alright :)
14:35
<annevk>
but yeah, the outfit, dunno about that :p
14:35
gsnedders
has glasses of his own in Scotland :P
14:37
gsnedders
needs to decide what to do today
14:37
<Lachy>
gsnedders, I thought you weren't arriving in Oslo till tomorow?
14:37
<gsnedders>
Lachy: Wrong.
14:38
<Lachy>
I would go skiing, but unfortunately I can't for at least another 4 to 6 weeks. :-(
14:39
<gsnedders>
First thing I need to do is get lunch, though
14:42
gsnedders
thinks wondering around town might be a good idea for today, seeming everything closes soon
14:43
<annevk>
how are the roads?
14:44
<gsnedders>
Bit icy, not bad
14:44
<annevk>
there's a bicycle at Marcos' place
14:44
<gsnedders>
Better than lkpg
14:44
gsnedders
hasn't ridden a bike much i years
14:45
<gsnedders>
I also have no idea where Marcos' place is :P
14:45
<Lachy>
gsnedders, what street are you in?
14:46
<gsnedders>
Storgate
14:46
<gsnedders>
*gata
14:46
gsnedders
fails Norwegian
14:47
<Lachy>
oh, is that where your hotel is, or just where you are now?
14:47
<gsnedders>
Both :)
14:48
<gsnedders>
I'm in the Anker Hotel
14:48
<Lachy>
ok. They didn't put you where I thought they might, closer to Opera.
14:48
<Lachy>
but at least it's not too far. Just jump on bus 34 or 54 on monday morning
14:48
<annevk>
you should've asked for an apartment
14:49
<annevk>
they're 5min from Opera rather than 25
14:49
gsnedders
really doesn't care
14:52
<gsnedders>
OK, I'm going to head into town and get food and wonder around
15:13
TabAtkins
is befuddled by smart compilers rearranging his computations for efficiency.
15:14
<TabAtkins>
I understand that moving the division into a non-critical path so it can be done at the computer's leisure is *theoretically* a good thing, but the fact that this actually translates into a 10% speedup is astonishing.
15:17
<Philip`>
It's more befuddling because CPUs rearrange computations too
15:19
<TabAtkins>
I know! It's crazy.
15:19
<TabAtkins>
I would never have thought to swap my algorithm around to move where the division takes place.
15:19
<TabAtkins>
I think I'm spoiled by not ever coding in C?
15:20
<Philip`>
Was it moved out of a loop or something?
15:20
<Dashiva>
Or into a rare conditional branch?
15:20
Philip`
wouldn't expect simple shuffling to affect much
15:21
<annevk>
oh yes, <1300
15:21
<annevk>
only 800-900 to go to get back to the old level
15:22
<TabAtkins>
I was doing an array walk, based on the value in the array. Previously the division was required to find the next index and I simply collected the value, but I swapped it so I use the division to collect values, and use the array val itself as the next index.
15:22
<TabAtkins>
(In more specific terms, I was factoring a number using a slightly modified Sieve of Eratosthenes. Originally I stored the smallest factor of the index, now I store the largest factor.)
15:26
<Philip`>
You mean so it can now do the division and memory fetch in parallel, or something like that?
15:26
<TabAtkins>
I presume that's what is happening, yes.
15:27
<Philip`>
Sounds plausible
15:56
<annevk>
<1000
15:56
<annevk>
really time for breakfast/lunch/dinner or any kind of food now
16:22
<annevk>
<900
16:23
<Dashiva>
Maybe you should make a graph, like Hixie :P
16:23
jgraham
is plesed to find that gsnedders did not get stuck in Katrineholm
16:23
<jgraham>
sp?
16:24
<jgraham>
Ah no, I spelt it right
16:26
<gsnedders>
jgraham: The train from Lkpg was 20/25 mins late
16:27
<gsnedders>
jgraham: But not enough for the 45 min change
16:27
<gsnedders>
Also: is it bad my first thought upon realizing I had 20 mins to wait was, "Where can I get fika?"
16:29
<gsnedders>
Also: food is so fucking expensive.
16:29
<jgraham>
gsnedders: Could have been worse. You might have thought "help, I'm covered in bees", which, given the climate, would have implied that you were having weird hallucinations.
16:30
<jgraham>
Aren't you supposed to be enjoying Norway or something?
16:30
<gsnedders>
It's dark outside now, and everything's shut.
16:30
<gsnedders>
And I have no friends.
16:30
gsnedders
just had lunch
16:30
<jgraham>
Sounds quite like Linkoping
16:31
<gsnedders>
Yeah, just lunch costs more for worse food.
16:32
<jgraham>
(!!)
16:33
<annevk>
you should go to better places then :)
16:33
<gsnedders>
Hey, I'm on my own in a city I've never been in before.
16:42
<annevk>
oh, zcorpan submitted a patch for web-apps-tracker
16:42
<TabAtkins>
I'm pretty sure that "help, I'm covered in bees" is a pretty bad thought to have regardless of the climate.
16:43
<gsnedders>
On the bright side, it seems warmer here
16:43
<jgraham>
gsnedders: It is like -17 here
16:44
<Philip`>
TabAtkins: What if you're a bee keeper?
16:44
<TabAtkins>
In that case you're shouting for help. Still no good.
16:44
<gsnedders>
jgraham: I guess I got out in time
16:44
<Philip`>
Maybe you're covering yourself in bees and running around as a publicity stunt
16:44
<gsnedders>
jgraham: It didn't seem -17 when I left at 8am though
16:44
gsnedders
loves Philip`'s ridiculous alternative reasons for things
16:45
<Philip`>
Why is it ridiculous?
16:45
<Philip`>
I'm sure I've seen that on TV
16:46
<Dashiva>
I don't think they say help
16:46
<TabAtkins>
I'd still rate that a not-good situation to be in, personally.
16:46
<TabAtkins>
I suppose it's the best of all the bad situations?
16:46
<Dashiva>
Well, maybe bees is also the name of some kind of delicious batter
16:47
<Dashiva>
And you need help to eat it all up because it's too much for one person
16:47
<Philip`>
Being covered in batter doesn't seem good in any situation
16:47
<Dashiva>
Better than bees
16:47
<Philip`>
Just ask the fish
16:48
<Philip`>
Fish will complain about batter, not about bees
16:48
<TabAtkins>
If you covered a fish in bees, it would complain.
16:48
<Dashiva>
That's because a fish in a position to be covered in bees has bigger trouble than just the bees (i.e. being on land)
16:49
TabAtkins
supposes this isn't any more ridiculous than the "vampires vs werewolves" debate he had in the bar last night. But at least he was drunk then.
16:50
<Philip`>
Dashiva: You're making unsafe generalisations
16:50
<TabAtkins>
I refuse to consider underwater bees.
16:50
<Philip`>
The fish might have fashioned itself a raft of bees, so it can float safely across shallow water
16:52
<Dashiva>
s/on land/out of water/
16:52
<TabAtkins>
Can it truly be said to be 'covered in' bees, then?
16:53
<Philip`>
The weight of the fish is sufficient to ensure it actually remains in the water, with the bees providing just enough buoyancy to not sink
16:53
<Philip`>
TabAtkins: Yes, the raft also has a roof made of bees, to keep the rain off
16:53
<TabAtkins>
Oh, yes, the fish wouldn't want to get wet.
16:53
<Dashiva>
I don't think being inside a structure counts as covered
16:53
<Dashiva>
It would have to be quite tight-fitting
16:55
<jgraham>
gsnedders: It was like -20something this morning
16:55
<gsnedders>
It didn't feel that bad.
16:55
<jgraham>
Possibly all your nerve endings have withered in the cold
16:58
<Philip`>
Dashiva: Do you know how hard it is for a fish to collect bees and knit them together?
16:59
<Philip`>
It's going to be tight-fitting just to save on the material and construction costs
16:59
<Dashiva>
Then it's not a raft anymore
17:00
<Philip`>
Now you're just quibbling over technicalities
17:01
<Dashiva>
As opposed to when? :P
17:04
<Dashiva>
krijnh: How are those "funny" and "interesting" tags coming along? ;)

<annevk>
http://twitter.com/gruber/status/8404044407 and http://twitter.com/gruber/status/8417800859 are funny and interesting (about Flash usage)
18:10
<Dashiva>
I wonder how many are just running noscript or somesuch
19:01
<jgraham>
Dashiva: I guess a lot of them are running flashblock or similar. Especially given Gruber's audience and the legendarily bad performance of flash on non-Windows platforms
20:26
<annevk>

<Viper550>
I find it ridiclous that afaik, your forum is so standards incompliant
21:26
<Philip`>
What would be the value of spending effort making it more compliant?
21:29
<jgraham>
Or, to put it differently, are you offering to spend the effort needed to provide a different forum?
21:31
<annevk>
we could look for a more compliant forum
21:33
<jgraham>
Sure
21:36
<Hixie>
what does it do that is not compliant?
21:37
<Hixie>
we can always change the spec if there's no value in making it more compliant
21:39
<Lachy>
Hixie, that's cheating :-)
21:40
<Lachy>
but it uses a bunch of presentational attributes
21:40
<Lachy>
it also seems to declare the encoding wrongly with <meta> as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8
21:40
<Hixie>
ah, well then it's probably not optimally accessible
21:40
<Hixie>
and will have i18n issues
21:40
<Hixie>
best to fix the problems
21:44
<annevk>
seems I haven't checked the forums since september
21:47
<annevk>
hmm, FAQ is still somewhat wrong
21:47
<annevk>
though I guess removing HTML5 everywhere will just make matters more confusing at this point
21:48
<Viper550>
plus phpbb2 is olllllllld
21:48
<annevk>
whoa, Dell sucks with international pricing
21:48
<Viper550>
maybe just go to fluxbb?
21:49
<annevk>
Adamo is EUR 720 in US and EUR 1350 in the Netherlands
22:17
<TabAtkins>
annevk: Yeah, I know glazou figured that out and bought a computer last TPAC. Get one of us americans to buy for you and ship it?
22:23
<annevk>
no it's okay, though that's an interesting offer I might take you up on one day :)
22:27
<TabAtkins>
I'd be happy to help if you ever need it. Market segmentation is annoying as hell, even if I *usually* benefit from it. ^_^
