wow, I had no idea hlink existed
00:55
<othermaciej>
I wonder what it is
01:05
<karlcow>
othermaciej it was for replacing xlink conflicts between WGs

karlcow, when i suggested making a letter envelope out of stamps, so that it pays for itself, a friend was like "oh year, [famous blogger] wrote that in 2006 already"

<Hixie>
TabAtkins: (re xbl) i dunno if this matters for the issue being raised on that thread, but consider that the user opening/closing a <details> element mutates the dom, as, depending on how you define it, would many other things (e.g. drag and drop, editing a form control, etc)
05:33
<zcorpan>
so instead of renaming window.performance, they want to make it [Replaceable]
06:11
<abarth>
everything should be replaceable

hi hixie
11:30
<wes222>
i'm sorry to bother, i want to know if you have already accepted w3 bug #11568, i posted it just some minutes ago
11:31
<wes222>
oh, maybe the "new" status is automatic
11:35
<jgraham>
wes222: Be patient :) I expect Hixie is asleep
11:37
<wes222>
i'm patient, on mozilla's bugzilla the default bug status is "unconfirmed", "new" is set when the bug is verified, for this i was thinking that the bug was already accepted
11:37
<wes222>

<MikeSmith>
should <meta http-equiv=refresh content="1; url=http://example.com/ "> be valid?
12:47
<MikeSmith>
note the trailing space in the value of the content attribute
12:47
<MikeSmith>
I think it's not valid in the current spec
12:48
<MikeSmith>
but browsers seem to handle it as expected nevertheless
12:48
<MikeSmith>
and the spec now allows URLs everywhere else to have leading and trailing spaces
12:51
<potatis_invalido>
MikeSmith: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-meta-http-equiv-refresh
12:51
<MikeSmith>
actually, browsers seem to handle <meta http-equiv=refresh content="1; url= http://example.com/ "> as expected as well
12:51
<MikeSmith>
that is, even with leading space
12:52
<potatis_invalido>
21. Strip any trailing space characters from the end of url.
12:52
<MikeSmith>
potatis_invalido: that doesn't mean it's valid
12:52
<potatis_invalido>
It should be, it's in the spec
12:52
<MikeSmith>
no
12:52
<karlcow>
potatis_invalido: there is a difference between processing and writing
12:53
<potatis_invalido>
Oh, right
12:53
<potatis_invalido>
You're right.

Hixie: The only type of DOM mutation that it seems we need to care about are adding/moving/deleting elements. Other mutations don't harm your ability to share the relevant metadata.
17:01
<TabAtkins>
Ho-lee crap the XQueryX example is horrifying. That's not something I'd put in a spec. That's something my *opponents* should be using to show how ridiculous my idea is.
17:02
<TabAtkins>
It's like they just wrote the the AST in XML.
17:02
<TabAtkins>
(Which is probably exactly what they did.)
17:04
<TabAtkins>
Okay, I didn't give them credit. It is *slightly* simpler than the AST (which they list slightly further down).
17:08
<dglazkov>
you're talking to yourself again
17:08
<TabAtkins>
Yes I am.
17:09
<AryehGregor>
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
17:09
<AryehGregor>
Who else are you supposed to talk to if no one else is paying attention?
17:10
<TabAtkins>
I'm colorblind, and I approve of this app: http://dankaminsky.com/2010/12/15/dankam/
17:10
<AryehGregor>
You're a colorblind designer? Interesting.
17:10
<TabAtkins>
Probably why I've never been good at the "design" part.
17:10
<TabAtkins>
Dammit, though, I didn't realize I was red-green too. I though I was just blue-green.
17:10
<dglazkov>
you're color-blind?!
17:43
<Philip`>
TabAtkins: If you're red-green colour blind and blue-green colour blind, does that mean you're actually red-green-blue colour blind?
17:43
<TabAtkins>
Not quite. They concern different groups of shades.

Oh man, I *love* our tools. So cool!

Aw, "you guys" soundly trounces "y'all".

interesting to see the decline of proper English over time: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=traveling%2Ctravelling&year_start=1850&year_end=2008&corpus=5&smoothing=5 - and it's taking hold of British English, too: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=traveling%2Ctravelling&year_start=1850&year_end=2008&corpus=6&smoothing=5
19:25
<AryehGregor>
Haha.
19:25
<AryehGregor>
Easter egg: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=pirates,ninjas&year_start=1900&year_end=2008&corpus=5&smoothing=3
19:25
<karlcow>
someone pointed me to http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=any+more,anymore&year_start=1900&year_end=2009&corpus=5&smoothing=3
19:25
<AryehGregor>
svl, . . . in what way is "travelling" more proper than "traveling"?
19:26
<AryehGregor>
My dictionary lists both as acceptable, and gives "traveling" first, and indeed my spellchecker appears to flag "travelling" as an error.
19:26
<AryehGregor>
The entire notion of "proper English" is fairly ludicrous anyway. By Shakespeare's standards, the English you're speaking is horribly bastardized.
19:27
<svl>
Of course!. Sorry, maybe I should've said 'proper' English. :)
19:27
<AryehGregor>
Weird: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=perl,python&year_start=1900&year_end=2008&corpus=5&smoothing=3

Why the spike right after 2000?

Oh, it says case-sensitive.

<karlcow>
python is a snake before being a programming language :p
19:28
<AryehGregor>
Yes, that's why it started out much higher.
19:28
<AryehGregor>
What's "perl", though?
19:30
<karlcow>
AryehGregor: a name
19:30
<AryehGregor>
Then it would be uppercase.
19:30
<karlcow>
Perl J. C was killed and cut to pieces by train of cars, Nov. 27, 1905, aged 21 years, 5 mo. and 10 days

is very close to just giving up on this part of his final project, given how unbelievably broken the OpenCL compiler is.
20:00
<Philip`>
Would something like CUDA work any better?
20:01
<AryehGregor>
Well, if I wanted to learn it and rewrite my OpenCL code to use it in the next three days, sure.
20:01
<AryehGregor>
Maybe.
20:01
<AryehGregor>
Or maybe not.
20:01
<AryehGregor>
I'm not sure how much of this is due to the immaturity of OpenCL and how much to the immaturity of GPGPUs.
20:02
<AryehGregor>
I think mostly the former.
20:03
<AryehGregor>
But this thing is literally just wiping out the contents of variables after I set them.
20:04
<AryehGregor>
All changes to global variables seem to be wiped out by some totally unrelated-looking macro I have.
20:04
AryehGregor
sighs and debugs some more
20:25
AryehGregor
notes that the only things on http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/TextFormat_Comparison_Overview that explicitly mentions only "some" people object are the two listed weaknesses of TTML
20:25
<AryehGregor>
And that "Is not XML." as an advantage of WebSRT is in scare quotes.
20:26
<TabAtkins>
Yeah, it's pretty clear that advantage is stated sarcastically.
