| 00:35 | <Krinkle> | Domenic: btw, fully on-board with linking to living standards; one thing I do find though, is that I'm often drawn to the field stating which version fo a spec the thing was introduced in (I don't click the link though). I suppose it's an old habit that is perhaps a bad one, given that even for ecma script specs (which still have a version), implementors cherry-pick out of order, so the support tables is where I should look! |
| 00:35 | <Domenic> | Agreed, support tables are the best. |
| 02:20 | <TabAtkins> | annevk: No, most languages allow both quotes. ^_^ I find escapes much more confusing and prefer to avoid them if possible. |
| 06:26 | <Krinkle> | Is there a draft spec for MemoryInfo? After googling for a few minutes, surprised to be empty handed for anything relating to performance.memory, MemoryInfo and/or totalJSHeapSize etc. |
| 06:27 | <Krinkle> | It's in chrome and no longer behind a flag. |
| 06:27 | <Krinkle> | was or is in Safari behind a flag. |
| 06:32 | <Krinkle> | Ah, found it. https://github.com/WICG/performance-memory/blob/master/explainer.md#-appendix-a---chromes-current-implementation-of-performancememory |

| 06:32 | <Krinkle> | Too bad. |
| 10:17 | <zcorpan> | Hello whatwg |
| 10:24 | <MikeSmith> | howdy zcorpan |
| 11:08 | <nox> | TabAtkins: Most languages allow both quotes? Citation needed. |
| 11:12 | <jgraham> | Most seems impossible to quantify. "Most weighed by usage" seems much more plausible to to compute and also to be true |
| 11:12 | <jgraham> | Although I wouldn't want to bet one way or another |
| 11:13 | <gsnedders> | most higher level languages allow either; most lower level don't? |
| 11:13 | <jgraham> | "most 'dynamically typed scripting languages, weighed by usage'" seems clearly true since just JS + Python |
| 11:14 | <jgraham> | Yeah, I think usually langauges that differentiate between char and str use different quotes for each and languages that don't don't |
| 11:31 | <nox> | Plot twist: TabAtkins was talking about human languages. :p |
| 11:48 | <MikeSmith> | hehe |
| 12:30 | <hsivonen> | annevk: :-( Is there some characterization of the overall vendor buy-in status for Web NFC? |
| 12:43 | <gsnedders> | hsivonen: nothing from MS or Apple; given Apple don't allow any third party access to NFC in iOS it seems unlikely they'll allow Web NFC |
| 12:53 | <annevk> | gsnedders: I think Apple now has some NFC APIs (perhaps readonly), but yeah, I wouldn't expect Web NFC to follow fast |
| 12:53 | <annevk> | https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc |
| 13:00 | <gsnedders> | oh, somehow I'd missed that; that's big news for many things! |
| 13:00 | <gsnedders> | as long ago as iOS 11, seemingly |
