- # [00:11] <BenMillard> oh, about author mathematics
- # [00:11] <BenMillard> *authoring
- # [00:11] <BenMillard> at the HTMLWG meeting in Boston I just remembered talking to a couple of MathML guys
- # [00:12] <BenMillard> when I asked them what people used before MathML, they immediately said "LaTex"
- # [00:12] <BenMillard> one of them was working on version 3 of it, IIRC
- # [00:13] <jgraham> BenMillard: LaTeX3 or Mathml 3?
- # [00:14] <BenMillard> LaTeX 3
- # [00:14] * Quits: zcorpan_ (n=zcorpan@c-cb21e353.1451-1-64736c12.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se) (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
- # [00:14] <BenMillard> http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html - I think one of them was David Carlisle, the other names don't ring a bell
- # [00:15] <jgraham> Yeah, David Carlisle is in the MathML-WG
- # [00:15] <Hixie> i wish the person who posted http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2006-June/006518.html would have finished their sentence in para5... what does it mean it is important for us to do???
- # [00:19] * othermaciej_ is now known as othermaciej
- # [00:21] * Hixie giggles at http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2006-June/006711.html
- # [00:22] <Hixie> according to my calculations there, a tag name costs $31,790
- # [00:24] * Quits: billmason (n=billmaso@ip235.unival.com) (".")
- # [00:24] <BenMillard> $10 per hour is about £5 per hour which I think is below minum wage in the UK
- # [00:26] <Hixie> yeah the numbers are a bit dubious
- # [00:26] <Philip`> It's right to an order of magnitude, though
- # [00:26] <Philip`> which is more accurate than many of the other numbers
- # [00:28] <othermaciej> that's the cost of a tag name to who?
- # [00:28] <BenMillard> the industry in general, afaict
- # [00:28] <Hixie> othermaciej: humanity
- # [00:28] <othermaciej> hahahahahaha
- # [00:29] <BenMillard> oh, there's also the time delay of the extra bytes being transferred over the wire :)
- # [00:29] <BenMillard> if you're on company time that would count
- # [00:31] <Philip`> If the feature adds maybe a kilobyte to the size of the browser download, and there's a billion web users, then that's about an extra hundred dollars of bandwidth charges
- # [00:31] * jgraham recalls this entire thread on mathematics becoming less than pleasant
- # [00:32] <BenMillard> I meant the bytes for the tags in the document, but that's interesting as well
- # [00:33] <Hixie> the cost can only be in terms of time and non-renewable resources
- # [00:33] <Hixie> money that goes around the circle doesn't affect the total cost
- # [00:34] * Quits: psa (n=yomode@71.93.19.66) (Remote closed the connection)
- # [00:35] <Philip`> Time doesn't seem like a non-renewable resource - you can always just employ an extra person, and it will not make the world poorer
- # [00:36] <Hixie> it's time that that person would not spend doing what they want to do, one presumes
- # [00:39] <BenMillard> anyway, it's just a bit of fun :)

- # [01:30] <Hixie> 2 lines out of 160 e-mails so far
- # [01:30] <Hixie> sigh
- # [01:31] <Philip`> Does "I want latex2html to give less ugly output" count as a problem?
- # [01:31] <Hixie> it's closer than most of these e-mails
- # [01:32] <Hixie> "I have content in LaTeX and want to convert it to HTML and have it retain a high degree of typographical quality" is a problem
- # [01:32] <Hixie> though you should probably include an explanation of _why_ you want to convert it to HTML
- # [01:32] <Philip`> Because Adobe Reader is horribly slow, so I don't want to use PDF, and there's no other option
- # [01:33] <Hixie> well HTML isn't an option either now
- # [01:33] <Philip`> (Actually I'd just use PDF anyway, because it's people's own faults if they don't have a nicer PDF reader)
- # [01:33] <Hixie> so really your problem is "I have content in LaTeX and want to view it in a good viewer while retaining a high degree of typographical quality"
- # [01:34] <Hixie> at which point, HTML really doesn't seem like it has a good place in any solution for that problem
- # [01:34] <Philip`> It needs to be a widely-distributed reader too, so that most people are able to access my content
- # [01:34] <Philip`> and it needs to be indexed by search engines, so that people can find my stuff
- # [01:35] <BenMillard> PDFs do get indexed by search engines?
- # [01:35] <Hixie> these all seem like LaTeX problems, not HTML problems :-)
- # [01:36] <Philip`> BenMillard: They do by at least Google, which is all that counts
- # [01:36] <Philip`> Hixie: They're still problems, and problems that could be solved by HTML
- # [01:36] <BenMillard> how about "I have content in LaTeX and want to include it on my web page."
- # [01:36] <Hixie> to be honest i don't really see the problem here
- # [01:36] <Hixie> BenMillard: yes, that's a different problem entirely
- # [01:37] <Hixie> Philip`: if you have content in LaTeX, and you publish it to PDF, you already have a widely available viewer, good typopraphy, and searchability
- # [01:37] <Hixie> Philip`: seems like a solved problem
- # [01:37] <Hixie> BenMillard: and a valid problem
- # [01:37] <othermaciej> PDF is its own world
- # [01:38] <Hixie> BenMillard: though not one that anyone on the mailing list seems to have mentioned so far :-) (in the 163 mails i've read)
- # [01:38] <othermaciej> it seems nice in principle to be able to do math decently without escaping to a different basic technology for your whole document
- # [01:38] <othermaciej> I have to agree that MathML syntax seems vile, now that I have looked more closely
- # [01:39] <Philip`> Hixie: Many people use latex2html now, despite it being slightly ugly, so there must be reasons why they do that, and I'm just not entirely sure what those reasons are :-)
- # [01:39] <BenMillard> hixie, perhaps you are being to picky about their wording?
- # [01:39] <Hixie> Philip`: yeah, me either
- # [01:39] <Philip`> but that doesn't make the reasons not exist
- # [01:40] <Hixie> BenMillard: no, i'm trying to pull problems out of these e-mails, even if they haven't mentioned them intentionally. Sadly most of these e-mails are arguing about which syntax to use, on the basis of the syntax's own characteristics.
- # [01:40] <Hixie> not suitability to solving any particular problem

- # [01:40] * Quits: roc (n=roc@59.167.238.155)

- # [01:50] <BenMillard> the inexpressiveness of plain text can bring out the worst in people (including me)
- # [01:50] <Hixie> oh i've seen these discussions happen in person too

- # [02:25] <Hixie> http://wiki.whatwg.org/index.php?title=New_Vocabularies&oldid=2894 is what it looked like
- # [02:25] <Hixie> i've reverted it
- # [02:27] <Hixie> i wonder if mathml would take off more if it were available in text/html, but IE continued to not support it
- # [02:29] <vlad_> are there any useful tools for producing mathml?
- # [02:29] <Hixie> hm, http://www.w3.org/mid/ABFEED64-8A5F-43C9-981B-416C6F65EA50@iki.fi is a very good point
- # [02:30] <Hixie> vlad_: dunno
- # [02:30] <vlad_> and potentially some way to easily put in normal-looking ascii math (perhaps with some script)?
- # [02:30] <Hixie> yeah, i really don't want to require that people write out raw mathml
- # [02:30] <Hixie> that's just insane stuff
- # [02:30] <vlad_> like, being able to type x^2/y^2 and have it do the right thing would be nice
- # [02:30] <vlad_> even if it's something like <span class="math">x^2/y^2</span> and then there's some JS that translates
- # [02:31] <othermaciej> JS translating latex math expressions to mathml would probably be doable
- # [02:31] <Hixie> i'd rather not rely on JS here
- # [02:31] <Pavlov_> vlad_: thats a font feature

- # [02:34] <Philip`> vlad_: The OO.o equation editor produces MathML and could be considered useful
- # [02:35] <BenMillard> hixie, the headings version seems a more conventional wiki page, to me.
- # [02:35] <Hixie> BenMillard: i'm not a conventional kind of guy :-)
- # [02:36] <vlad_> Pavlov_: e.g. http://www.zvon.org/HowTo/Output/MathMLtestsuite_abs1.php
- # [02:37] <vlad_> is a pretty crappy way to write |H/K| (granted, you also want italic H and K, but still)
- # [02:37] <Pavlov_> well
- # [02:37] <Pavlov_> its not great
- # [02:38] <Pavlov_> maybe some simple stuff would be OK
- # [02:39] <BenMillard> feedback on HTML5 from a friend I knew when I did GTA modding some years ago: "Damn you guys are fuckin smart"
- # [02:40] <BenMillard> I guess a poor first impression of the HTML5 effort is not a universal experience
- # [02:40] <Hixie> heh
- # [02:41] * Philip` also happened to do GTA modding some years ago, where 'some' = 9
- # [02:41] <BenMillard> ooh, I modded the early ones too :)
- # [02:42] <Hixie> speaking of GTA, is GTA4 out yet?
- # [02:42] * Hixie has some cash earmarked for a PS3 and GTA4 and is just waiting

- # [02:46] <Philip`> http://web.archive.org/web/20020121215533/http://gta2.games.ultrastore.com/ - yay, my site sort of still exists
- # [02:47] <BenMillard> OMG I REMEMBER THAT WEBSITE
- # [02:49] <BenMillard> Philip`, this is a muliplayer level I made for GTA2: http://projectcerbera.com/gta2/multislayer/
- # [02:49] <Philip`> Unfortunately I barely knew what I was doing, and didn't know how to write GUI programs in anything other than Visual Basic
- # [02:49] * Quits: rubys (n=rubys@cpe-075-182-087-110.nc.res.rr.com) (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
- # [02:50] <BenMillard> I still don't know how to write GUI programs in anything other than VB :$
- # [02:50] <Philip`> Later I learnt how to write GUI programs in Perl, which wasn't really any better
- # [02:51] <Hixie> heh
- # [02:52] <Philip`> (The only ones I've liked were in C++ / wxWidgets)
- # [02:52] <Hixie> delphi baby
- # [02:53] <othermaciej> I like to write GUI programs in HTML+CSS+JS
- # [02:54] <othermaciej> everything else seems annoying
- # [02:54] <othermaciej> (though ObjC+Cocoa is not so bad as such things go either)
- # [02:54] <vlad_> othermaciej: seriously.. though HTML could use some love
- # [02:54] <Philip`> BenMillard: The world looks oddly familiar there - the textures and shapes are all familiar, but I got bored and moved away before the map editor was released so the perspective is odd
- # [02:54] <vlad_> (cough xul box model cough)
- # [02:54] <othermaciej> vlad_: we got your xul box model
- # [02:55] <othermaciej> I wish the CSS WG would show it some love
- # [02:55] <vlad_> yeah
- # [02:55] <othermaciej> instead of figuring how to full-justify arabic text in the presence of chinese vertical writing that uses double-width characters
- # [02:55] <Hixie> all it would take is an editor
- # [02:56] <vlad_> othermaciej: we should really fedex those people a nice pen and some parchment
- # [02:56] <Philip`> othermaciej: HTML+CSS+JS doesn't work so well when you're trying to decode and render graphics from complex binary files on the user's computer, and trying to do it fast
- # [02:56] <vlad_> and they can have at it
- # [02:56] <othermaciej> Philip`: oh, well, I wouldn't use it for the non-GUI part
- # [02:58] <Philip`> othermaciej: Do you mean you'd have a non-GUI part in a proper language (C++ or Python or whatever) and expose a web interface to it for all interaction?
- # [02:59] <othermaciej> if I were called on to write a GUI app I would probably do a desktop/web hybrid with most of the UI in HTML and compute-intensive or system-integrating code in a lower level language
- # [03:00] <BenMillard> Philip`, yeah seeing proper perspective in a 2.5D sprite-based game is pretty odd :)
- # [03:01] <BenMillard> Philip`, I remeber using M1win for GTA1, which had no draw distance limit. that was cool
- # [03:02] <BenMillard> Philip`, the textures for MultiSlayer are actually from the Vice City level in GTA1
- # [03:10] <dglazkov> hey enough reminiscing :) I have a question about the state of the HTML5 spec
- # [03:11] <dglazkov> would you say that HTML5 is an "upcoming spec"?
- # [03:11] * dglazkov is looking for shiny words
- # [03:12] <Hixie> upcoming?
- # [03:13] * Quits: csarven (n=nevrasc@modemcable130.251-202-24.mc.videotron.ca) ("http://www.csarven.ca/")
- # [03:13] <dglazkov> yes, as in "of the upcoming HTML5 specification"
- # [03:14] <dglazkov> would "HTML5 specification draft" be better?
- # [03:14] <Hixie> if it's not already "upcome", for lack of a better term, i wonder what it will take for it to do so :-)
- # [03:14] <Hixie> what's the whole sentence?
- # [03:14] <Hixie> i would just say "HTML5"
- # [03:14] <Hixie> but that's just me

- # [18:47] <Hixie> it just says "For each URI in file list" on step 20, without specifying order, so i guess it doesn't matter

- # [22:45] <virtuelv> and short of actually upgrading to a later weekly, I'm afraid I can't offer more advice than "file a bug"
- # [22:49] <Hixie> is there a later weekly yet?
- # [22:49] <Hixie> i can never find them
- # [22:50] <Hixie> i wish opera had something like nightshift, or even better, like firefox's autoupdate
- # [22:51] <virtuelv> http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
- # [22:51] <virtuelv> latest post has newer builds
- # [22:52] <virtuelv> build 4716
- # [22:52] <Hixie> k i'll see if i can remember to update next time i try to test opera
- # [22:52] <Hixie> thanks
- # [22:52] <virtuelv> latest builds have a bunch of acid3 fixes

- # [23:40] <Hixie> if you see that used as a favicon.ico, it's a bug
- # [23:40] <vlad_> not a 404 for me, unless your 404 serves a red image with a hand-drawn lion-thing
- # [23:40] <annevk> it does
- # [23:40] <Hixie> it does

- # [23:47] <Hixie> gsnedders: actually html5 is already under feature freeze :-)
- # [23:47] <Hixie> has been since late last year
- # [23:47] <Hixie> it's the main reason i didn't add workers
- # [23:49] <tommorris> does feature freeze mean that if an existing html4 behaviour has been removed it cannot be reinstated?
- # [23:49] <Hixie> no
- # [23:50] <Hixie> e.g. headers="" was added last week
- # [23:55] <gsnedders> Hixie: how solid feature freeze, though? We don't have SVG or MathML or the like in HTML 4/5, for example
