is there an js event for when an <audio> has finished playing?

AryehGregor
wonders what possessed him to get into an argument about economics on Slashdot
05:28
<othermaciej>
AryehGregor: lol!
06:32
<doublec>
JonathanNeal, there's an ended event
06:32

09:26
<othermaciej>
hsivonen: that's not a lot of responses...
09:27
<annevk>
wow
09:27
<othermaciej>
I'm surprised dbaron didn't enter "other comments"
09:29
<annevk>
with interest like this, there's no need to make a point
09:29
<Hixie>
i think that pretty much sums it up
09:30
<othermaciej>
I bet it still goes to REC
09:30
<Hixie>
duh
09:30
<Hixie>
if it didn't go to rec that would mean the w3c followed w3c process
09:31
<othermaciej>
I would love to see the implementation report they used to exit CR
09:31
<Hixie>
are there any implementation criteria to meet?
09:32
<hsivonen>
othermaciej: seen the XLink 1.1 impl report?
09:32
<othermaciej>
I wonder what their exit criteria are
09:32
<othermaciej>
I wonder why they aren't cited in the AC survey
09:33
<othermaciej>
there isn't even a link to the spec in the survey
09:33
<annevk>
hsivonen, is it public?
09:33
<hsivonen>
secret
09:33
<annevk>
XLink is such a joke
09:34
<annevk>
it's extremely unfortunate it went into SVG
09:34
<othermaciej>
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/01/xlink11-implementation
09:34
<annevk>
and MathML too, maybe?
09:34
<othermaciej>
isn't that it?
09:34
<annevk>
that's public
09:34
<othermaciej>
that doesn't appear to be Member-only
09:34
<othermaciej>
that's what the REC in TR links to
09:34
<annevk>
such a joke
09:35
<annevk>
SVG implementations only support XLink to the extent that they need to recognize certain attributes of XLink on certain elements
09:36
<annevk>
I believe according to the XLink guys that is valid usage of XLink...
09:36
<othermaciej>
I wonder if I should waste Dave Singer's time by asking him to vote no on any PR survey that doesn't cite the CR exit criteria and implementation report
09:36
<Hixie>
apparently only specs that reality impiges on have to follow w3c process
09:37
<annevk>
why impose requirements on lalaland?
09:37
<othermaciej>
I usually tell him not to respond at all on stuff we don't care about
09:37
<Hixie>
the level of double standard at the w3c is so astronomical it makes a joke of the whole thing
09:37
<Hixie>
svg 1.2 tiny being my favourite example
09:39
<othermaciej>
to be fair, getting html5 right is orders of magnitude more important than getting xlink 1.1 right
09:40
<Hixie>
if the w3c staff admitted that and justified ignoring process on the "unimportant" specs because of that, then i wouldn't feel like that was actually just a coincidence
09:41
<othermaciej>
I think no one is fussy about process until people complain, generally
09:41
<othermaciej>
otoh with svg 1.2 there were lots of complaints
09:41
<othermaciej>
so that's the one that seems like an outlier
09:44
<hsivonen>
i'm ptretty sure the xlink 1.1 iml report used to be secret
09:46
<othermaciej>
the xlink 1.1 CR exit criteria did include "There are at least two interoperable implementations of the specification."
09:46
<Hixie>
of every feature?
09:46
<othermaciej>
the implementation report doesn't seem to give any evidence for that assertion
09:46
<Hixie>
is there a test suite? i'd love to learn how xlink is supposed to actually work
09:46
<othermaciej>
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/03/xlink11-tests
09:48
<Hixie>
in what sense is that a test suite?
09:49
<othermaciej>
in the sense that it was linked from the implementation report in the section with a header of "Test Suite"
09:50
Hixie
points back to his comment about the process being a joke half the time
09:50
<othermaciej>
I am having a hard time running those tests in my browser because they are served with a Content-type of "charset=utf-8"[sic]
09:52
<annevk>
also uses external entity references
09:52
<othermaciej>
if I load one by hand after downloading I get a blank page - not sure if that is a pass or fail

tantek is so much ahead of us
10:27
<othermaciej>
so, the last version of XHTML Modularization 1.1 to link to an implementation report linked to this: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2006/m12n-11-implementation.html
10:27
<othermaciej>
the PER doesn't have a link to an impleentation report at all
10:51
<Hixie>
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2010/04/12/ignoring-parentheses.aspx#comments <-- i guess microsoft really _doesn't_ care about interop with their .NET framework afterall, who knew
10:51
<Hixie>
*feigned surprise*
10:53
<othermaciej>
seems like an issue with the C# language, not the .NET framework
10:54
<Hixie>
yes
10:54
<Hixie>
C# is part of .NET
10:55
<othermaciej>
anyway, I'm not that surprised that they ruled out changing the compiler, but I am surprised that they ruled out changing the spec
10:58
annevk
is interested in why Hixie was reading that :)
10:59
<Hixie>
it was about 4 links out from a reddit comment

<Hixie>
i'm just browsing the web :-)

Firefox seems to have gaps between every line when you select text - has it always done that?
13:42
othermaciej
ca't beliee he never noticed
13:42
<variable>
othermaciej: I don't see that on my copy
13:43
<othermaciej>
I'm testing in Firefox 3.6.3 on a Mac
13:43
<othermaciej>
example site: http://slashdot.org/
13:43
<othermaciej>
if my selection spans multiple lines, I see gaps w/o the selection color between the lines
13:47
<variable>
othermaciej: http://isis.poly.edu/~eitan/files/scrshot-no-spanbreak.jpg
13:48
<othermaciej>
I wonder what is wrong with my copy
13:48
<variable>
othermaciej: I just tested on /.
13:48
<variable>
same issue
13:49
<othermaciej>
by "same issue" do you mean that you do see gaps, or that you don't?
13:50
<variable>
othermaciej: I see the gaps on /.
13:50
<variable>
but I don't see them on the webchat for freenode
13:50
<othermaciej>
very weird
13:50
<variable>
and I see them on half the lines in the The connection has timed out page on firefox
13:50
<variable>
(if it breaks <p> I think I see the gaps else I don't>
13:50
<variable>
s/t>/)//
13:51
variable
makes testcase now
13:53
<variable>
othermaciej: got it: there is a gap if it breaks <p> or multiple <br>s but not one <br> or no <p>
13:53
<variable>
there was a thread about this on www-style recently. IIRC IE attempts to only select text along with FF but opera attempts to select elements as well (not sure what that means re gaps)
13:54
<othermaciej>
slashdot doesn't seem to have multiple <br>s or <p>s in the article summaries
13:55
<othermaciej>
yeah, I know they won't select gaps between paragraphs, but I see gaps between lines in a single paragraph
13:55
<othermaciej>
which I was not expecting
13:55
<variable>
odd. Report a bug to FF?

<Philip`>
http://www.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/db/index.html - "based on the ubiquitous SQLite version 3 API, Berkeley DB provides a drop-in compatible SQL database library and command line tool"
18:26
Philip`
wonders if that's compatible enough for web browser use
18:28
<Philip`>
Oh, apparently it's basically the SQLite frontend with the storage implementation rewritten to use BDB, or something along those lines
18:28
<Philip`>
so it's probably compatible but not really independent
20:10
<annevk>
isn't the Firefox selection related to line boxes and line-height and all? seems more logical than it being related to <br> and what not
20:24
<annevk>
hmm, whatwg.org is down
21:10
<annevk>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2010May/0012.html -- so the status report is that it's not really anywhere yet?

basically I'm at a loss how that email addresses what is discussed in its first paragraph
21:20
<Hixie>
well i've no idea what happened to my server
21:20

it was up, just not doing anything web-related

yeah, but what does @resource do

It... RDFs
22:50
<Dashiva>
Seems like it can be used in multiple ways. Covered by itemscope and itemtype, I'd say.

wonder if i should introduce ranks on the forums

maybe it'll make people post there more

what should the ranks be?
