- # [09:22] <Philip`> It seems the only real advantage is that it runs the server-side stuff on your own computer, which means you don't have to pay someone for hosting (disk space and CPU) (though Opera still has to pay for all the bandwidth)
- # [09:22] <hsivonen> or is it HTTP and not some kind of new p2p protocol?
- # [09:22] <Philip`> but that doesn't seem a particularly fundamental difference

- # [09:23] * Joins: Dashiva (i=Dashiva@wikia/Dashiva)

- # [10:09] <fakeolliej> jgraham: their performance argument isn't really valid as it's an issue specific to their implementation, much like there are issues that only occur in implementations like JSC
- # [10:09] <hsivonen> MikeSmith: is there a particular reason to change the order of assertions vs. RELAX NG?
- # [10:09] <hsivonen> jgraham: is this on an Ecma list somewhere?
- # [10:10] <jgraham> fakeolliej: I wondered if that might be the case. But I wonder if they have done a detailed web compat analysis. I understand that __proto__ is really needed if you are not IE
- # [10:10] <jgraham> hsivonen: es-discuss
- # [10:10] <hsivonen> jgraham: thanks
- # [10:11] <fakeolliej> jgraham: the irony of crockford saying that people will only use "safe browsers" that "don;t support __proto__" [paraphrased] is not lost on me
- # [10:11] <jgraham> https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2009-June/009523.html
- # [10:11] <hsivonen> uh oh. I have an <isindex> Heisenbug
- # [10:11] <fakeolliej> jgraham: because time and time again people have chosen "site working" over security, speed, etc
- # [10:12] <jgraham> fakeolliej: Indeed. I wonder if I should ask/say any of this on this list
- # [10:12] <fakeolliej> jgraham: we can ask hixie to tell us how many sites use __proto__
- # [10:12] <MikeSmith> hsivonen: no, no current reason I can think of. When I asked you about that before, it was because at that time, I thought maybe your reason for having legacy.rnc was to control the order in which the obsolete-element errors get reported. But I realize now that the reason it be able to report errors in the subtree.

- # [10:23] <hsivonen> jgraham: yes
- # [10:27] <hsivonen> did anyone ship DOMTokenLish.has() yet?
- # [10:28] <MikeSmith> are tokens in HTML5 allowed to contain character references?
- # [10:28] <hsivonen> MikeSmith: element and attribute names aren't
- # [10:29] <MikeSmith> hsivonen: but tokens in attribute values are, right?
- # [10:29] <hsivonen> MikeSmith: the character references are expanded before the token is created, so no in that sense
- # [10:30] <Philip`> http://devfiles.myopera.com/articles/608/jsrest-url.htm indicates __proto__ appears on something like 1% of pages, unless I'm misinterpreting the numbers
- # [10:30] <MikeSmith> hsivonen: well, I mean serialized attribute values -- e.g., in what the spec defines as "space-separated tokens"
- # [10:31] <MikeSmith> or rather "set of space-separated tokens"

- # [10:33] <annevk42> Philip`, Microsoft uses it in their compat layers for various properties
- # [10:34] <Philip`> The Prototype JS library seems to use it for something
- # [10:36] <hsivonen> grr. <isindex> is an evil special case for explicit memory management
- # [10:36] <hsivonen> aarrgh
- # [10:37] <hsivonen> now I'm annoyed at both <isindex> and at C++ not having a garbage collector
- # [10:38] <hsivonen> <isindex> is fast appoaching the most-buggy feature of the V.nu parser
- # [10:38] <hsivonen> if it isn't already
- # [10:38] <hsivonen> *approaching
- # [10:40] <hsivonen> should I add refcounting for this edge case or add a special hack with 'here be dragons' comments...
- # [10:40] <hsivonen> somehow I don't like the idea of refcounting just for this one special corner case
- # [10:40] <hsivonen> anyway, yay for unit tests
- # [10:41] <Philip`> Is it very unlikely that any other feature will ever trigger the same edge case?
- # [10:41] <hsivonen> Philip`: extremely unlikely
- # [10:41] <hsivonen> Philip`: <isindex> is the only parser macro
- # [10:42] <hsivonen> where attribute names get referenced from more than one attribute holder
- # [10:42] <hsivonen> everywhere else custom attribute name objects never leave their original holder
- # [10:43] <hsivonen> I guess I'll implement ownership transfer for this case instead of burning cycles refcounting all over

- # [13:25] <jgraham> Philip`: That applies to all codecs, for some sutaible definiton of "wide range"

- # [13:27] <jgraham> s/vorbis/theora/
- # [13:28] <Philip`> jgraham: When there are levels and profiles, any device can say "I support this set of profiles" and any video can say "I can be played on this set of profiles" and if the intersection is non-empty then you know in advance it'll work, and that seems to be independent of the wideness of the range
- # [13:28] <Philip`> and I assume that's the idea of the MPEG stuff, and it's entirely lacking in Theora
- # [13:29] <Philip`> (I remember DivX had a similar profile system too)
- # [13:29] <jgraham> In practice I expect authors to put in on <source> that wworks on desktop (maybe two) and one that wworks onm the iPhone

- # [14:20] <Philip`> except those people don't use Opera, so that's not going to help much
- # [14:22] <Philip`> (I just upload files with the same process as I use for copying local files, i.e. navigating to the right directories in Krusader and pressing F5 to copy between them, and it's no different if some of the directories are over FTP/SFTP/etc)

- # [14:24] <Philip`> annevk42: I tried sshfs for a while but it always seemed a bit unreliable, particularly if I disconnected without unmounting it cleanly first

- # [19:27] <tantek> note that per the Ruby postulate: "The accuracy of metadata is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the data and the metadata."
- # [19:27] <tantek> if the metadata IS the data itself (c.f. microformats, visible data, DRY), then the distance is 0
- # [19:27] <hober> indeed
- # [19:28] <tantek> inverse of 0 squared = infinity
- # [19:28] <tantek> ergo the most accurate metadata is to not have separate metadata at all and just use the data as metadata.
- # [19:31] <hober> right. given the 'people are lazy' thing, there's no reason to expect people to update content separated at all from the content they /have to/ update.
