- # [02:07] <kennyluck> where? just curious
- # [02:07] <TabAtkins> The announcement was on the w3c blog.
- # [02:07] * kennyluck googled but found nothing
- # [02:08] <roc> there was a post in public-webapps
- # [02:09] <TabAtkins> Ah, that's where it was. I was certain I'd seen it in my twitter feed.
- # [02:11] <remysharp> Can anyone tell me what situation a SharedWorker would really be used? I understand more than one window can access it, but I can't see why
- # [02:11] <kennyluck> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010AprJun/0389.html
- # [02:13] <Hixie> remysharp: consider e.g. gmail with multiple windows open, all interacting with the server
- # [02:14] <Hixie> remysharp: without a shared worker, they'd each be fighting with each other to update the local database view of the user's e-mail
- # [02:15] <remysharp> okay, is there another example? Just thinking outside of google for the moment. No meaning to be rude of course :)
- # [02:15] <remysharp> I can see and understand that use case tho
- # [02:15] <Hixie> any app that has client-side user data, multiple tabs/windows, and a server component
- # [02:15] <remysharp> except that none of the workers have implemented access to openDatabase - but I understand that's coming too
- # [02:15] * Joins: boogyman (~boogy@unaffiliated/boogyman)
- # [02:16] <Hixie> openDatabase() is basically dead, actually, but there's a non-sql alternative coming up in theory
- # [02:16] <Hixie> web indexed db or something
- # [02:16] <remysharp> the indexeddb
- # [02:16] <remysharp> okay, yeah
- # [02:16] <remysharp> that spec - oh man - couldn't get my head around it yet. probably best to wait until there's something I can play with
- # [02:16] <remysharp> I know there was someone looking at a FF plugin
- # [02:17] <Hixie> facebook would be another example, so that, say, they could show you their IM client in all the facebook windows you have open, and have the messages routed to the right window, without having to have N connections to the server open
- # [02:17] <Hixie> yeah web indexed db went way over my head too
- # [02:17] <kennyluck> Hixie: do you have a pointer to the web indexeddb thing? very interesting
- # [02:17] <remysharp> okay - that's cool
- # [02:17] <remysharp> Shit, a spec that goes over Hixie's head - that's a spec I'm afraid of!
- # [02:18] <dave_levin> remysharp: fyi, soon db and workers will get along better in WebKit -- Add async bindings for Worker access to DB -- https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34992
- # [02:18] <erlehmann> Steve Jobs anti-Flash tirade is quite funny: "Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary.", then "Apple […] creates open standards for the web.", finally "a more modern format, H.264, […] viewable on iPhones, iPods and iPads"
- # [02:18] <remysharp> dave_levin: yeah - someone mentioned that here earlier on in the week - good to know, cheers.
- # [02:18] <Hixie> kennyluck: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebSimpleDB/
- # [02:18] <remysharp> Hixie: I love that it has the word "simple" in the title!
- # [02:18] * AryehGregor got a FOUC there, hasn't seen one of those in ages
- # [02:18] <kennyluck> thanks, Hixie
- # [02:18] <othermaciej> the SQL DB is currently much more widely implemented and much more widely used than IndexedDB
- # [02:19] <othermaciej> despite the fact that it is kind of stalled on the standards track due to MS and Moz not wanting to implement
- # [02:19] <AryehGregor> The problem with Web SQL DB is that it more or less says "use SQLite", doesn't it?
- # [02:19] <othermaciej> a *lot* of mobile-targeted sites use it
- # [02:19] <AryehGregor> Something like that?
- # [02:19] <Hixie> AryehGregor: we could fix that
- # [02:19] <othermaciej> that's what it says right now, yeah
- # [02:19] <Hixie> AryehGregor: that's not a real problem
- # [02:19] <othermaciej> but the implementors who refuse to implement it would not change their minds if that change was made
- # [02:19] <Hixie> we've specced html parser, how hard can sql be :-P
- # [02:20] <othermaciej> so it kinda seems like busywork to do it
- # [02:20] <Hixie> yeah
- # [02:20] <AryehGregor> Sad.
- # [02:20] <othermaciej> at least, that is what I concluded, otherwise I would make an Apple employee do it
- # [02:20] <AryehGregor> Why are they against it, again?
- # [02:21] <othermaciej> Mozilla says it's because the SQL dialect isn't spec'd, and also because they think SQL would be bad in general, even if spec'd
- # [02:22] <othermaciej> because some developers supposedly told them they want anything but SQL
- # [02:22] <remysharp> dave_levin: do you know if there's a fix planned for Workers starting (sub) Workers?
- # [02:22] <remysharp> so far, no browsers I've seen support this
- # [02:22] <AryehGregor> SQL is admittedly complicated and hard to understand.
- # [02:22] <othermaciej> Microsoft also said it's because the SQL dialect is de facto SQLite
- # [02:23] <kennyluck> Why are they opposing SQLite?
- # [02:23] <othermaciej> it is, but the alternative ends up being that you have to invent your own query language, and it is less efficient since it has to work on a lower-level substrate
- # [02:23] <othermaciej> depending on specifically the SQLite implementation, with no formal spec, I can see how that is kind of bad
- # [02:23] <othermaciej> since it makes truly independent implementations impractical
- # [02:23] <AryehGregor> othermaciej, are you aware that in the Wikipedia article on you, someone went to the trouble of recording a pronunciation of your name?
- # [02:23] * AryehGregor wonders if it's at least correct
- # [02:23] <othermaciej> AryehGregor: I saw that
- # [02:23] <dave_levin> remysharp: I thought Firefox supported it. As far as WebKit, it was started but then aborted because it made the code more complicated and it was unclear how many folks wanted to use it.... If there are known use cases that it is blocking, then maybe the work would get restarted....
- # [02:24] <othermaciej> my wikipedia article is way too detailed
- # [02:24] <remysharp> dave_levin: crap, you're right, it does.
- # [02:24] * AryehGregor was just stalking othermaciej by reading it
- # [02:24] * remysharp so many browsers, so little time!
- # [02:24] * AryehGregor now knows about his sister who's faculty at MIT, and exactly which Maciej forced othermaciej to be "othermaciej" instead of "maciej"
- # [02:25] * AryehGregor isn't sure whether to hope he never has a Wikipedia article on him, or not.
- # [02:25] <othermaciej> the link to that faculty page is dead
- # [02:25] <kennyluck> lol
- # [02:25] <othermaciej> I think my sister is technically staff, not faculty
- # [02:26] <AryehGregor> You could propose your article for deletion on the grounds of non-notability.
- # [02:26] <othermaciej> AryehGregor: the Maciej who stole my preferred nick on FreeNode is Maciej Ceglowski
- # [02:26] <othermaciej> also mjs was taken by someone else, that's the other username I like to use
- # [02:26] <AryehGregor> So it says, except it puts a little line through the l.
- # [02:27] <othermaciej> yeah, I didn't feel like digging that character out of Character Pallette :-)
- # [02:27] <Hixie> wow, maciej's entry is long

- # [02:28] <othermaciej> I am embarassed about how much content it has
- # [02:28] <othermaciej> I think the IPA is wrong

- # [02:28] <Hixie> on an unrelated note, i finally got to the part of my e-mail where i see Nick Levinson has escalated bugs to issues
- # [02:28] <othermaciej> though I don't know enough IPA to be sure
- # [02:28] <Hixie> that ought to be fun

- # [03:52] <theMadness> Yeah, that was quite insulting.

- # [03:53] <theMadness> Not to mention that no reason is given for a lack of double support a la chrome.
- # [03:54] <theMadness> Sorry for the rant, I just hate when people assumes that me (or actually us, readers) are too dumb to get it.
- # [03:55] <wirepair> interesting onmousemove in FF 3.6.3 only seems to fire when it's over the element... if that is the case why have an onmouseover event?
- # [03:55] <roc> it's actually highly misleading and dangerous for a Microsoft blog to say "Of course, developers can rely on the H.264 codec and hardware acceleration support of the underlying operating system, like Windows 7, without paying any additional royalty. "

- # [09:13] * Joins: gavin_ (~gavin@firefox/developer/gavin)
- # [09:14] <othermaciej> with storage the problem may have been more about implementing too soon
- # [09:14] <othermaciej> if those standards didn't have implementations and sites using them, they wouldn't be a problem
- # [09:14] <annevk> if we knew about cookies we could have avoided the storage issue
- # [09:15] <annevk> shows that documenting the past is important for future decisions
- # [09:15] <othermaciej> the lameness of cookies was a big driver for making something better
- # [09:15] <annevk> I'm mostly talking about the storage mutex, something we realized was needed too late

- # [09:17] <annevk> true
- # [09:17] <othermaciej> I kinda wish we hadn't jumped on implementing SQL so soon, but there wasn't really a better alternative and I'm still not sure there is one now
- # [09:17] <annevk> is the SQL API that bad?
- # [09:17] <annevk> sicking claims developers don't like it, but I haven't had that reaction much
- # [09:17] <othermaciej> a surprising number of sites are using it now in their mobile versions (GMail, Yahoo Mail, foxnews.com surprisingly...)
- # [09:18] <othermaciej> the API is not bad
- # [09:18] <annevk> only from CouchDB guys really
- # [09:18] <othermaciej> the claim that developers don't like it is BS
- # [09:18] <othermaciej> people who are on an anti-SQL crusade don't like it, and that is a minority of web developers
- # [09:18] <othermaciej> people actually developing web content that works offline like it fine
- # [09:18] <othermaciej> like I said, it has lots of use in the one niche where it has high penetration
- # [09:19] <annevk> I wonder if Mozilla's Indexed DB implementation is going on top of SQLLite
- # [09:19] <annevk> SQLite*
- # [09:19] <othermaciej> the reason I regret it is that Mozilla and Microsoft are potentially limiting its utility
- # [09:19] <othermaciej> I'm not sure it would make sense to implement Indexed DB on top of SQLite
- # [09:20] <annevk> the reason I'm wondering is that Mozilla already ships with SQLite
- # [09:20] <othermaciej> it really needs a more Berkeley-DB style substrate (though I am not sure BDB itself would actually work)
- # [09:20] <othermaciej> Google folks seem interested in it, so WebKit may end up with the first available implementation
- # [09:20] <othermaciej> which would be really really weird
- # [09:21] <othermaciej> since Indexed DB seems to be primarily a reaction against SQL DB
- # [09:21] <annevk> heh yeah, I saw that
- # [09:22] <annevk> so much redundant APIs :/
- # [09:22] <othermaciej> basically my opinion on the matter is similar to this: http://teddziuba.com/2010/03/i-cant-wait-for-nosql-to-die.html
- # [09:22] <othermaciej> but I don't feel like arguing with MS and Moz
- # [09:23] <othermaciej> maybe they will change their minds if they ever decide to be relevant on mobile
- # [09:23] <Hixie> othermaciej: implementations and specs have to happen at the same time
- # [09:24] <othermaciej> Hixie: in the case of the SQL Storage spec, that is kinda what happened, except for the plural part of "implementations"
- # [09:24] <Hixie> othermaciej: i think what we should have done is had more experimentation first, we clearly didn't have enough implementation experience since in the space of like a year we came up with three radically different suggestions and specced all three
- # [09:25] <Hixie> and within another year people were already suggesting more (filesystem)
- # [09:25] <othermaciej> the real problem is that those things are implemented and used (and thus hard to change), not that it was written down in the form of a spec
- # [09:25] <Hixie> if they had all just been UA experiments i don't think they'd have been used as much
- # [09:25] <othermaciej> it's easier to rescind a spec than an implementation
- # [09:26] <othermaciej> people would have used whatever they could get to make offline web apps work on iPhone OS devices
- # [09:26] <othermaciej> even if it was WebKitEvilHackIfYouUseThisYouAreDumbStorage
- # [09:26] <Hixie> hm, yes, offline, make that five solutions in the one space :-)
- # [09:26] <Hixie> oh which i specced three :-/
- # [09:26] <othermaciej> appcache isn't really an alternative to the others
- # [09:27] <Hixie> not as designed, no
- # [09:27] <othermaciej> (though I have lost count of which specs you have in mind)
- # [09:27] <Hixie> webstorage, websqldb, indexeddb, appcache, and filesystem
- # [09:27] <Hixie> they're all about storing data on the client
- # [09:27] <Hixie> one could easily imagine solutions that sliced and diced the space differently
- # [09:27] <othermaciej> and of course we have the legacy technology of cookies
- # [09:28] <othermaciej> maybe Gears gave the impression of being more proven a design than it was
- # [09:28] <Hixie> and i feel that at least the ones i was involved with of those 5 were all a little rushed, e.g. appcache isn't exactly ideal, web storage of course has the dreaded storage mutex, and websqldb died
- # [09:28] <othermaciej> there's also still the DataCache proposal, though I think those capabilities should just be folded into AppCache
- # [09:28] * Joins: mhausenblas (~mhausenbl@wg1-nat.fwgal01.deri.ie)
- # [09:28] <Hixie> datacache doesn't count imho because it doesn't have implementations, so it's not a real spec
- # [09:29] <othermaciej> I bet 2-3 years from now websqldb will have more use on real sites than indexeddb

- # [09:30] <othermaciej> (not that I expect that to happen in as little as 3 years)
- # [09:33] <annevk> if we spec the SQL dialect Mozilla would be more interested

- # [10:18] <wycats> othermaciej: even today, it's not like any browser is sitting around waiting for standards bodies to approve things

- # [10:18] <wycats> where did CORS come from?
- # [10:19] <othermaciej> true
- # [10:19] <othermaciej> CORS was sorta designed by committee
- # [10:19] <wycats> ha ;)
- # [10:19] <othermaciej> back when it was access-control
- # [10:19] <othermaciej> and then redesigned by committee to get browser vendors to agree
- # [10:19] <annevk> CORS was mostly based on input from Mozilla
- # [10:19] <annevk> regrettably and much to my fault I guess
- # [10:20] <othermaciej> was the original access-control spec based on their ideas?
- # [10:20] <annevk> I just wanted to see it implemented which given where we are today should not have been a very high priority
- # [10:20] <annevk> no, CORS was
- # [10:20] <wycats> I made a pretty big list of external ideas: canvas, <input type="search">, <video>, flexbox, JS 1.8, CSS transitions/animations/transforms, WebGL, Local Storage, SQLite, font-face, NodeList, Touch events, orientation, accelerometer, geolocation
- # [10:20] <othermaciej> I am glad we got rid of the processing instruction at least
- # [10:20] <wycats> othermaciej: amen brother
- # [10:20] <annevk> the original access-control stuff came from VoiceXML plus some stuff Hixie drafted

- # [10:27] <othermaciej> the opera video release was not til November of that year
- # [10:27] <wycats> "We started work on these documents before the <video> element was added to the spec and indeed before Opera made their original proposal"

- # [10:41] <othermaciej> iPhone web apps are much more likely to depend on WebKit bugs than desktop web apps
- # [10:41] <othermaciej> it has not yet gotten to the point where it is a huge burden though
- # [10:41] <mut> im attempting to convert something ive drawn in canvas to a dxf (ascii cad file)
- # [10:41] <wycats> othermaciej, annevk: I would love to see a webkit-caliber alternative emerge
- # [10:41] <annevk> wycats, I don't see why; Microsoft invested hugely in the Web and when they became dominent they just let it go for a decade
- # [10:41] <annevk> wycats, they had a killer engine with IE6
- # [10:41] <mut> i just wondered if anyone knew of a project that could help :P
- # [10:41] <wycats> annevk: and it was closed source, so MS was *able* to do it
- # [10:41] <annevk> but no competition
- # [10:42] <wycats> in this case, if Apple gave up on it, Google would keep it going
- # [10:42] <wycats> or vice versa

- # [10:42] * Joins: ROBOd (~robod@92.86.244.132)
- # [10:42] <wycats> unlike closed-source IE
- # [10:42] <wycats> in fact, if IE was OSS, I bet we'd have seen improvements
- # [10:42] <wycats> instead of stagnation
- # [10:42] <wycats> see: Mozilla
- # [10:42] <annevk> Mozilla and WebKit is actually a good example of why open source also needs competition
- # [10:43] <wycats> annevk: I'd love to see a webkit caliber competitor
- # [10:43] <wycats> but if IE mobile gets market share without being quality, I will cry
- # [10:43] <annevk> I think we are
- # [10:43] <annevk> but I'm not really sure what you mean
- # [10:43] <wycats> annevk: is it really unclear?
- # [10:43] <othermaciej> I doubt IE mobile will go much of anywhere
- # [10:44] <othermaciej> certainly not by usage share
- # [10:44] <annevk> all I'm saying is that software-monoculture is bad, even if it's open source
- # [10:44] <wycats> "monoculture is bad" is a meta-argument
- # [10:44] <annevk> wycats, yes
- # [10:44] <wycats> a culture of one awesome browser beats a culture of one awesome browser and 5 crappy ones
- # [10:44] <othermaciej> since on mobile, how much people use the browser is extremely sensitive to differences in browser quality
- # [10:45] <annevk> wycats, whatever man
- # [10:45] <wycats> annevk: what do you mean whatever?
- # [10:45] <wycats> I'm postulating a scenario where IE mobile gets market share (let's say via Windows Mobile 7 actually getting a bunch of sales)
- # [10:45] <wycats> we'd lose the monoculture
- # [10:46] <wycats> and gain having to deal with IE6(7) on the phone
- # [10:46] <wycats> if you think that's a good tradeoff...
- # [10:46] <annevk> I'm not sure why you think that I would think that so I'm not really interested in going further
- # [10:46] <wycats> :(
- # [10:47] <wycats> I wasn't trying to troll, I promise
- # [10:47] <wycats> annevk: like I said before, I'd *love* to see a Fennec/Webkit world
- # [10:48] <doublec> Except you mean Gecko since Fennec is a browser and Webkit isn't. And add in Opera's engine.
- # [10:49] <othermaciej> Presto is a good engine
- # [10:50] <doublec> Everyone is getting good engine's - it's hard to choose :)
- # [10:50] <othermaciej> it would be good if one of the sgnificant smartphone OSes shipped a browser based on Gecko or Presto by default
- # [10:50] <Rik`> in the original argument, I think the cycle "implement new feature, let it be tested with nightly/beta, refine it, propose it to standards" is used a lot more these days than say 2 years ago and so everything is moving faster, even standardization
- # [10:50] <othermaciej> unfortunately there seems to be a herd instinct
- # [10:50] <annevk> wycats, sounds like we're in agreement then
- # [10:50] <wycats> doublec: I guess I mean Gecko if there was the prospect of a multi-gecko browser landscape

- # [10:51] <doublec> wycats, microb on the n900 is a gecko based browser

- # [11:05] <Hixie> joehewitt's complaint seems almost like a tautology to me... anything that involves multiple vendors agreeing on what the platform should be is naturally going to evolve more slowly than something where the platform is decided by a single vendor
- # [11:05] <Hixie> that's the cost of not having vendor lock-in
- # [11:05] <Hixie> equivalently, the cost of having fast platform development is vendor lock-in
- # [11:05] <wycats> Hixie: well
- # [11:05] <wycats> it's not happening!
- # [11:05] <wycats> see my list above
- # [11:06] <Hixie> what's not happening?
- # [11:06] <wycats> browsers sitting around waiting for agreement before implementing things
- # [11:06] <othermaciej> the Web definitely evolves slower than the faster-moving proprietary platforms
- # [11:07] <Hixie> wycats: i didn't say that
- # [11:07] <wycats> othermaciej: Sachin's post lists technologies that "the web doesn't have" that were in browsers in like 2006
- # [11:08] <Hixie> "the platform" != what 15% of deployed browsers support
- # [11:08] <othermaciej> true, his post seems misinformed
- # [11:08] * Joins: Creap (~jacob@jacobrask.net)
- # [11:08] <wycats> Hixie: he's explicitly NOT complaining about 100% of browsers
- # [11:08] <wycats> he's saying "nobody is implementing useful things"
- # [11:08] <Creap> hsivonen: validator.nu fails to accept role="menuitem" inside role="menubar"
- # [11:08] <wycats> which is just bull
- # [11:09] <Creap> An element with role=menuitem requires role=menu on the parent.
- # [11:09] <Creap> which is incorrect
- # [11:09] <wycats> also, IE only has 60'ish% these days
- # [11:09] <wycats> so 15% isn't exactly correct
- # [11:10] <Hixie> wycats: maybe he has multiple complaints. What I was talking about e.g. "I am ranting because I want to drop Cocoa and go back to the web, but I am upset about how much power I have to give up to do that."
- # [11:10] <Hixie> by 15% i meant one browser's latest version
- # [11:10] <Creap> hsivonen: W3C validator does the same though, but http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#menuitem clearly states menuitem is allowed inside menubar
- # [11:10] <wycats> Hixie: I'm mostly looking at Sachin's argument
- # [11:10] <wycats> not Joe's
- # [11:11] <Hixie> wycats: i was just talking about joehewitt's

- # [11:12] <wycats> ^^ is just patent nonsense
- # [11:15] <mut> hey, if i draw something to scale (1px = 1mm) in canvas, how can i output that to an ascii file, so i can parse it and use it with other programs?
- # [11:17] <othermaciej> to the extent that joehewitt wants to do web development, I think he wants it mobile-targeted and maybe even a-specific-subset-of-mobile-devices-targeted
- # [11:17] <othermaciej> so latest version of one implementation would be good enough for him
- # [11:18] <othermaciej> as long as it's the right implementation
- # [11:19] <wycats> othermaciej: and... Mobile Webkit is pretty far ahead of the game

- # [21:39] <boogyman> You can't cure gullibility. Think about it... MS marketing a plugin for their most recent browser? Doesn't sound too official to me

- # [21:40] <boogyman> what's that?
- # [21:40] <Philip`> It's a plugin for their most recent browser
- # [21:40] <AryehGregor> You can't cure gullibility, but I'd expect that Google should be filtering out plainly fraudulent ads.
- # [21:40] <boogyman> and is the product name outside of their domain... eg sub.microsoft.com?

- # [23:31] <tabatkins> I stopped putting effort into it some time ago, at least. I'm done with it.
- # [23:32] <sicking> most of the time is speant marking all the excessive emails read
- # [23:32] <othermaciej> honestly - there's nothing wrong with having rationale documents for parts of the spec
- # [23:33] <Hixie> rationale documents would be fantastic
- # [23:33] <Hixie> i've been looking for volunteers to write some for years
- # [23:34] <othermaciej> what tabatkins, sicking, hober et all wrote is a rationale document for some of the new elements, though an oddly formed one
- # [23:34] <Hixie> it's one of the most prominently positioned tasks in the list of things we're looking for volunteers to do on the wiki
- # [23:34] <othermaciej> still, would be nice to have even that level of written-down rationale for, say, the sectioning elements or the new form controls
- # [23:35] <othermaciej> I guess what I'm saying is, the work on this has definitely not been a waste, even though people may have prioritized their time differently if these were not tracker issues

- # [23:36] <Hixie> holy cow, my home page is glowing green
- # [23:36] <sicking> in all fairness, i shouldn't get much credit for what's in the wiki. The other guys did most of the work
- # [23:36] <Hixie> it hasn't done that in like 6 months

- # [23:37] <sicking> until it went up in flames due to network issues :(
- # [23:38] <Hixie> anyway, it would be great if the rationale-providing text could be put in a wiki somewhere in a form suitable for a rationale document, that way we could point people to that and they would have a better chance of doing more
