| 05:18 | <annevk> | Domenic: why does whatwg/console not need a known_hosts resource |
| 05:18 | <annevk> | Domenic: curious how that works |
| 05:31 | <annevk> | Domenic: oh wait, I see now, because of the bogus Travis config |
| 09:12 | <tobie> | annevk: flags were a completely new concept when I first started looking at standards. Should they be described in infra? |
| 09:12 | <tobie> | annevk: *new concept for me |
| 09:13 | <annevk> | tobie: I still would like to replace them with booleans |
| 09:14 | <tobie> | annevk: oh, well in that case... |
| 09:14 | <annevk> | tobie: but if we keep them, I suppose |
| 12:08 | <annevk> | gsnedders: yeah, I kinda want to write a blog post so at least one page calls the whole option out as harmful |
| 15:11 | <annevk> | Manishearth: nice article |
| 15:11 | <annevk> | Manishearth: we actually have some stuff where we enshrine code units |
| 15:11 | <annevk> | Manishearth: for better or worse |
| 15:13 | <annevk> | Manishearth: for your next article, write about grapheme clusters? |
| 15:13 | <annevk> | Manishearth: like, how stable is their definition, does it depend on language tagging, etc. |
| 15:14 | <annevk> | mathiasbynens: does JavaScript offer anything around grapheme clusters these days? |
| 15:50 | <mathiasbynens> | annevk: nope |
| 15:52 | <mathiasbynens> | annevk: littledan is working on a proposal though https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-segmenter |
| 15:53 | <annevk> | mathiasbynens: why not on String? |
| 15:59 | <mathiasbynens> | annevk: good question |
| 17:41 | <annevk> | Domain outage affecting html5.org et al should be fixed |
| 17:41 | <annevk> | Apologies for the downtime, it was due to a recent server move |
| 18:06 | <Manishearth> | annevk: yeah, JS is broken so we actually have to care about code points in the dom and stuff |
| 18:07 | <Manishearth> | well, the code points aren't because its broken |
| 18:07 | <Manishearth> | code points are because it's not swift. languages aren't broken because they're not swift :p |
| 18:07 | <Manishearth> | it is broken because of the whole deal with a surrogate being a character, paired or not. Screw that :p |
| 18:48 | <Manishearth> | annevk: not sure how much more I can write about GCs though. this article sort of was supposed to be about GCs :) |
| 19:01 | <annevk> | Manishearth: technical details, but I can look them up |
| 19:06 | <annevk> | Manishearth: also, units not points |
| 20:21 | <Manishearth> | annevk: yeah, code units |
