| 00:23 | <MikeSmith> | would it make sense for the Web Locks API to be incorporated into the HTML spec, or is it better for it to be managed as a separate spec? |
| 00:23 | <MikeSmith> | https://wicg.github.io/web-locks/ |
| 00:24 | <MikeSmith> | it doesn’t do any monkey patching of algorithms in HTML or DOM |
| 02:37 | <Domenic> | I was wondering about storage.spec.whatwg.org |
| 02:37 | <Domenic> | Its own spec might be fine though |
| 16:40 | <MikeSmith> | why is that when I do Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Window) I get essentially next to nothing |
| 16:40 | <MikeSmith> | compared to Object.getOwnPropertyNames(window) |
| 16:41 | <MikeSmith> | in browsers, where do all those properties of the window instance originally come from |
| 16:42 | <jgraham> | MikeSmith: Are the properties on Window.prototype? |
| 16:42 | jgraham | doesn't remember enough webidl to answer this question |
| 16:42 | <MikeSmith> | no |
| 16:42 | <MikeSmith> | at least there not there if you inspect Window.prototype in devtools |
| 16:43 | <MikeSmith> | so if they are not from Window.prototype where are they from |
| 16:44 | <MikeSmith> | I guess it’s just that the Window/window case is some kind of very special case? |
| 19:43 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: it is |
| 19:45 | <annevk> | MikeSmith: they are on the instance, but you also can never really get there due to WindowProxy (in a worker you can though); named properties are on the prototype chain though and likely EventTarget |
| 22:05 | <MikeSmith> | annevk: I see |
| 22:06 | <MikeSmith> | so for MDN, this makes me wonder how the properties should rightly be documented |
| 22:08 | <MikeSmith> | e.g., I would think the title of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/closed should rightly be window.closed instead of Window.closed |
| 22:10 | <MikeSmith> | and MDN should make it more clear that window is the special global object |
| 22:12 | <MikeSmith> | but since MDN article paths seem to be case-insensitive, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window are the same article |
