| 00:03 | <annevk> | well look at that |
| 00:03 | <annevk> | my feed feels to validate |
| 00:03 | <annevk> | I mean, it's non well-formed |
| 00:04 | <AryehGregor> | Neat, I didn't realize that approximating a Gaussian by box blurs works because of the central limit theorem. |
| 01:37 | <yuhong> | I just read Arjun Ray's articles on how browsers like Viola and Arena were ahead of Netscape back in the mid 1990s. |
| 01:54 | <d4t4ch17d> | hello |
| 01:55 | <zewt> | someone sure is channelling the mid 90s |
| 02:01 | <d4t4ch17d> | late 90s |
| 02:02 | <yuhong> | Me. |
| 05:24 | MikeSmith | is looking for a spec with a WebIDL interface definition that includes a definition of its constructor |
| 05:24 | <MikeSmith> | heycam: you around? |
| 05:25 | <MikeSmith> | wanted to ask you about the above |
| 05:25 | <MikeSmith> | trying to figure out what's the proper way to define a constructor |
| 05:25 | <heycam> | MikeSmith, hey. just about to head out for dinner in a minute... |
| 05:25 | <MikeSmith> | ok |
| 05:25 | <MikeSmith> | no rush |
| 05:26 | <heycam> | MikeSmith, XHR probably does |
| 05:26 | <MikeSmith> | ping me some time later if you got a minute |
| 05:26 | <MikeSmith> | ok |
| 05:26 | <MikeSmith> | will look there |
| 05:26 | <MikeSmith> | thanks |
| 05:28 | <iamjarvo> | hey guys how's it going. i am trying to blur text using canvas. any tips? |
| 05:51 | <zewt> | gar, painful inconsistency with mouse events when more than one button is pressed at once... |
| 06:41 | <aho> | i'd like to see #c -> #ccc and #ba -> #bababa |
| 06:41 | <aho> | who's with me? :> |
| 06:42 | <zewt> | if by with you you mean wants to stab you in the neck, you might find something of a crowd :P |
| 06:42 | <aho> | you can never have too much enterprise and soulcrusher gray |
| 06:42 | <aho> | <: |
| 06:46 | <gsnedders> | aho: web compat dictates otherwise. |
| 07:55 | <zewt> | the fun workarounds of interop failures: webkit (or at least Chrome) doesn't fire click events when button != 0, so I'm having to dispatch them manually from mouseup : | |
| 08:42 | <abarth> | zewt: that's something that's changed moderately recently |
| 08:42 | <abarth> | zewt: it's an example of trying to chase web site expectations |
| 08:42 | <abarth> | :( |
| 08:42 | <zewt> | well, i definitely agree with the spec that click should fire for all buttons |
| 08:43 | <abarth> | the problem is that causes a bad user experience on some web sites |
| 08:43 | <abarth> | sites register for click assuming it's left-button only |
| 08:43 | <abarth> | and then they do the wrong thing on a middle click |
| 08:43 | <zewt> | there are some things you can only do from onclick and not mouseup--at least with FF's behavior, not sure if it's to spec or not |
| 08:43 | <abarth> | e.g., open a new window in the foreground instead of the background |
| 10:03 | <erlehmann> | i am pleased. http://www.dradio.de/wir/ogg/ |
| 10:03 | <erlehmann> | “the audio element is also available in safari, but the vendor does not support ogg” |
| 10:03 | <erlehmann> | hehehe |
| 13:38 | <jeromegn> | I'd be interested to see a specification for efficient bi-directional communications :) I saw JSend this morning (http://labs.omniti.com/labs/jsend) but it only talks about the response, I'd love a nice spec for the request too. Without HTTP, websocket is free to be used however, but that leads me to wondering what's an efficient way to do so. |
| 13:38 | <jeromegn> | any pointers would be appreciated :) |
| 15:58 | <iamjarvo> | is it possible to blu text using canvas? example like this http://cl.ly/1C0S0z2O091f1M3P1Q1V |
| 15:59 | <iamjarvo> | blur* |
| 16:00 | <Ms2ger> | insertAdjacentElement, really? |
| 16:01 | <Philip`> | iamjarvo: You can do a simple Gaussian blur using shadows (draw the text off-screen and offset the shadow back onto the screen) |
| 16:01 | <Philip`> | For anything more complex you probably need to implement the blur yourself using getImageData/putImageData |
| 16:02 | <iamjarvo> | Philip`: so for your first choice would I need two versions of the same string? |
| 16:06 | <Philip`> | iamjarvo: You just do http://goo.gl/AlcpV |
| 16:10 | <iamjarvo> | Philip`: thanks playing with it to see if i can do it |
| 16:15 | <iamjarvo> | Philip`: thanks! it works. so if i were to want to add a hover to change the color is it true that it would have to be redrawn each time? how does this work if there were 100 words in the box, i would imagine it would get really slow |
| 16:19 | <Ms2ger> | You could have two canvases, I guess |
