  88. # [03:53] <micheil> is <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> valid html5?
  89. # [03:57] <Anti-X> why wouldn't it be?
  90. # [03:57] <MikeSmith> micheil: no, it's not valid
  91. # [03:57] <micheil> okay
  92. # [03:58] <micheil> I wasn't sure, I'd just seen it in several places, including ALA
  93. # [03:58] <MikeSmith> the value of the http-equiv attribute is constrained to being an enumerated list
  94. # [03:58] <Anti-X> really?
  95. # [03:58] <MikeSmith> Anti-X: yeah
  96. # [03:58] <MikeSmith> that's one thing that's changed in HTML5
  97. # [03:59] <MikeSmith> micheil: yeah, some individual people at ALA came out in support of it
  98. # [03:59] <Anti-X> i didn't think values of meta attributes would ever matter
  99. # [03:59] <micheil> okay, but it's not actually part of the strict standards
  100. # [03:59] <Anti-X> for validity purposes
  101. # [03:59] <MikeSmith> oh whoops
  102. # [03:59] <MikeSmith> I meant WASP
  103. # [04:01] <MikeSmith> it matters because we want to help authors be aware that only certain values have an effect, and only certain values have agreed-upon semantics
  104. # [04:02] <MikeSmith> e.g., some people think they can set HTTP headers on the client side somehow by using the http-equiv attribute
  105. # [04:03] <MikeSmith> or they think at least that browsers will have behavioral responses to whatever values are set there
  106. # [04:03] <micheil> right, which isn't correct, yes?
  107. # [04:07] <MikeSmith> right
  108. # [04:08] <MikeSmith> http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/meta.html#meta gives an overview
  109. # [04:09] <MikeSmith> if you click on the circled i links, that will take you to the corresponding info in the actual HTML5 spec

  111. # [04:10] <MikeSmith> micheil: on a different subject, do you happen to now how often the v8 subdir in the node source repo is updated
  112. # [04:11] <micheil> umm..
  113. # [04:11] <MikeSmith> if there's some update policy

  115. # [04:11] <micheil> when ever v8 is usually
  116. # [04:11] <MikeSmith> OK
  117. # [04:11] <MikeSmith> well, v8 has two branches
  118. # [04:11] <MikeSmith> trunk and "bleeding edge"
  119. # [04:12] <MikeSmith> changes were pushed from bleeding-edge to trunk yesterday
  120. # [04:12] <MikeSmith> so I guess I should just check to see if they made it into the node repo yet
  121. # [04:12] <MikeSmith> v8 trunk version is now at 2.4.3

  123. # [04:28] <paul_irish> micheil: for both ie=edge and chromeframe, headers can be sent that do the same thing (and get around the validation problem)
  124. # [04:28] <paul_irish> but.. yeah the validator bitches about it. ohwell.
  125. # [04:29] <paul_irish> one of the more prominent cases where best practices conflict with conformance.
  126. # [04:29] <hober> MikeSmith: I've made a lot of progress on the elisp tokenizer lately
  127. # [04:30] <MikeSmith> super
  128. # [04:30] <hober> hoping to get it to an experimentally-useful state in the next couple of weeks
  129. # [04:30] <hober> I think 80% of desirable major mode features can be tackled with just a tokenizer backend
  130. # [04:30] <hober> the remaining 20% will require the tree builder

  438. # [11:50] <MikeSmith> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Checklist
  439. # [11:50] <MikeSmith> and comment on it if you find anything that you think should be changed in it
  440. # [11:51] <MikeSmith> anything removed, anything that needs to be added, anything altered/clarified
  441. # [11:53] <MikeSmith> about the topic areas, there are links that lead back to a more detailed description
  442. # [11:53] <MikeSmith> e.g., for the "DV" requirements, see http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Accessibility_Requirements#Described_video
  443. # [11:55] <MikeSmith> nessy and others have spent a lot of time working together on hammering out the details of that checklist
  444. # [11:55] <MikeSmith> so it would be a professional courtesy at the very least to actually take time to read and respond to it

  454. # [11:59] <MikeSmith> annevk: ah, OK
  455. # [12:00] <MikeSmith> annevk: another thing is, we would not want to be in the position later of having those requirements presented back to us as a fait accompli
  456. # [12:01] <MikeSmith> and being told that, You had the opportunity to comment on detail on those, and to ask for changes to them, and you didn't take it.
  457. # [12:01] <annevk> hah, good luck if they try playing it like that
  458. # [12:02] <MikeSmith> well, I'm not saying that anybody who's actually involved in creating those would do that
  459. # [12:02] <MikeSmith> because they would not
  460. # [12:03] <MikeSmith> I guess I'm just thinking about other possible polemicists who might choose to join the fray
  461. # [12:03] <annevk> some of the requirements seem kind of wrong btw
  462. # [12:03] <MikeSmith> so ignore that, thought, actually
  463. # [12:03] <annevk> "specify a character encoding" must?!
  464. # [12:04] <annevk> for i18n no less
  465. # [12:04] <MikeSmith> annevk: that indeed does seem not necessary to be a must
  466. # [12:04] <annevk> guess they missed how UTF-8 obsoleted that need
  467. # [12:05] <jgraham> I would prefer that as a MUST NOT, all things considered :)
  468. # [12:07] <annevk> i think it would help if they prioritized things

  591. # [15:02] <hsivonen> zcorpan_: curbing <font> growth is certainly the most important motivation here, but letting e.g. <i> grow insanely for DoS wouldn't be nice
  592. # [15:03] <zcorpan_> it wasn't a serious suggestion :)
  593. # [15:04] <zcorpan_> with your proposal it's still easy to cause a DoS, just have different attributes on each element
  594. # [15:04] <zcorpan_> <font 1><font 2> etc
  595. # [15:04] <hsivonen> zcorpan_: good point
  596. # [15:05] <hsivonen> I wonder if setting n to 0 and thus removing all duplicates from the list would break the Web

  600. # [15:11] <hsivonen> hmm. not removing from stack would required corresponding changes to the AAA
  601. # [15:12] <hsivonen> since currently the AAA can't close an element that's not on the list
  602. # [15:14] <hsivonen> too bad that simply banning duplicates would break the fancy pages that do nested emphasis and de-italicize the inner one

  634. # [16:48] <jgraham> hsivonen: Interesting, but scary
  635. # [16:48] <jgraham> Especially for you I would have thought
  636. # [16:49] <jgraham> Like I would be tempted to keep the current algorithm for now and experiement with the new one in a more beta release
  637. # [16:49] <Philip`> "With this scheme, it's still possible to DoS the HTML5 parser" - does that mean browsers would have to add a second scheme to prevent DoS attacks?
  638. # [16:50] <Philip`> in which case wouldn't it be better to start by designing the second scheme, and then only the first scheme as an optimisation if the second one is still poor on some real-world content?
  639. # [16:50] * Quits: boaz (~boaz@64.119.159.231) (Quit: boaz)
  640. # [16:50] <hsivonen> Philip`: it depends. if you look carefully (and you don't need to be that careful), there are already other ways to DoS browsers
  641. # [16:50] <hsivonen> it's trivial to crash Gecko remotely, for example
  642. # [16:51] <Philip`> Shouldn't the goal be to minimise those cases?
  643. # [16:51] <hsivonen> Philip`: we've managed for 12 years without malicious DoS prevention in the parser
  644. # [16:51] <jgraham> Arguably a hang is worse than a non-exploitable crash
  645. # [16:51] <hsivonen> only prevention for DoS-by-incompetence
  646. # [16:51] <hsivonen> Philip`: probably, yeah
  647. # [16:52] <jgraham> Since it can suck system resources
  648. # [16:52] <Philip`> Having lots of security vulnerabilities sounds like a poor excuse for intentionally not fixing security vulnerabilities
  649. # [16:53] <Philip`> Also it's a problem for any other tools that use HTML5 parsers
  650. # [16:53] <hsivonen> part of the problem is that DoS countermeasures shouldn't treat the HTML5 spec or bank sites as attacks
  651. # [16:53] <Philip`> Not much good trying to argue everyone should replace their XML toolchain parsers with HTML5 parsers if it introduces new DoS attacks that their XML parsers were protected from
  652. # [16:54] <hsivonen> Philip`: you are assuming too much
  653. # [16:54] <hsivonen> Philip`: it's way easier to crash Gecko via the XML code path
  654. # [16:54] <hsivonen> anyway
  655. # [16:54] <Philip`> Other applications care more about security
  656. # [16:55] <hsivonen> Philip`: here's a concrete problem: you can make the parser exhaust memory by feeding it aa multi-gigabyte attribute value (gzipped so that it explodes on the client)

  661. # [17:00] <jgraham> I have heard that SVG content with multi-megabyte attributes is not unheard of
  662. # [17:00] * Philip` should probably try to gather data about how the algorithm runs on some set of pages, rather than guessing what restrictions would be safe
  663. # [17:00] <Philip`> but that sounds like it'll take effort :-(
  664. # [17:01] <hsivonen> Philip`: I was hoping I could bait you to run an instrumented parser over the dotbot data
  665. # [17:01] <Philip`> If I had an instrumented parser .jar that was compatible with the old version I'm using, I could probably run it easily
  666. # [17:01] <hsivonen> fwiw, I put an attribute value length limit in Gecko, broke a bank site, and took it out
  667. # [17:02] <hsivonen> Philip`: how would you like the parser to output its self-diagnostics?

  673. # [17:03] <hsivonen> Philip`: that's *old*
  674. # [17:03] <Philip`> It's the latest one on http://about.validator.nu/htmlparser/ :-)

  677. # [17:06] <Philip`> hsivonen: Hmm, I have no idea what output data would be helpful for this purpose
  678. # [17:07] * Philip` has largely forgotten how the algorithm works
  679. # [17:07] <hsivonen> I think the helpful output data would be stuff like x% of pages require n iterations or fewer
  680. # [17:07] <hsivonen> so presumably at some point x is near hundred while n is low
  681. # [17:08] <hsivonen> and then at some point n skyrockets for diminishing returns in x
  682. # [17:09] <hsivonen> there are actually three distinct Ns worth measuring: AAA outer loop iterations per entry to the loop
  683. # [17:09] <hsivonen> AAA inner loop iterations per entry to the loop
  684. # [17:10] <hsivonen> duplicate items after the last marker
  685. # [17:12] <Philip`> If the parser can output those numbers somehow, so I can associate them with the URL that's being parsed, then it sounds like that should be sufficient and the output can be processed to get tables of pages vs Ns
  686. # [17:12] <hsivonen> Philip`: what's your preferred output mechanism?
  687. # [17:13] <Philip`> Um
  688. # [17:13] <Philip`> Don't know
  689. # [17:14] <Philip`> Currently my code mostly just uses ContentHandler (sometimes LexicalHandler) to collect output
  690. # [17:14] <Philip`> It'd probably be ugly to squeeze some Ns into that interface but maybe it'd be easier than alternatives
  691. # [17:14] <hsivonen> Philip`: how about I make a one-off handler interface for this? StatHandler or something?
  692. # [17:15] <Philip`> I guess that could work too
  693. # [17:15] <hsivonen> ok. I'll try to get that done tomorrow-ish. gotta go get some dinner now

  941. # [23:30] <gsnedders> My biggest problem is just shyness and talking to people in the first case; if I have someone I know around I can use them to introduce me which I'm fine with

  968. # [23:38] <TabAtkins> Ah. Was wondering if you'd seen me give a talk or something. ^_^
  969. # [23:38] * gsnedders can imagine TabAtkins not being the most outgoing person
  970. # [23:39] <TabAtkins> But yeah, I'm a substantially different person socially than I was a decade ago, mostly because of conscious effort to change myself.
  971. # [23:39] <TabAtkins> gsnedders: You met me personally, though, where I went out of my way to introduce myself and then took you out for ice cream.
  972. # [23:40] <variable> TabAtkins, part of the problem is that I find most chit-chat type topics (weather, most jobs, blah) boring
  973. # [23:40] <jgraham> variable: I assume that the idea is to work out ways to flow to topics that you find interesting from ones you find boring
  974. # [23:40] <jgraham> And hope there is mutual interest I guess
  975. # [23:40] <TabAtkins> variable: Two ways to combat that. (1) Train yourself to think the opposite, or at least be able to project the image of interest. It goes a long way. (2) Using conversation maps or similar techniques, learn how to quickly transition a conversation from the boring chit-chat to more interesting subjects.
  976. # [23:41] <TabAtkins> One good thing is to learn how to ask personal questions of the person who's being boring. People are a lot more interesting when they're talking about themselves, I find.
  977. # [23:43] <gsnedders> TabAtkins: There again, it was in a context where everyone already knew everyone to some levle
  978. # [23:43] <jgraham> And you could always discuss marin collapsing if you ran out of other topics ;)
  979. # [23:44] <jgraham> *margin
  980. # [23:44] <TabAtkins> gsnedders: It honestly wouldn't have mattered much to me. Remember that when I first introduced myself to you guys it was kind of awkward. That's just how it goes sometimes; I just hung out for a bit and then politely excused myself so I could try again later. I successfully talked with you guys later in the bar.
  981. # [23:46] <variable> I don't mind forced social situations much
  982. # [23:46] <variable> (like my roommate was random and we like each other)
  983. # [23:46] <variable> but I find it hard to meet *new* people also
  984. # [23:46] <gsnedders> TabAtkins: I would have been a lot more awkward in the first case otherwise
  985. # [23:46] * Quits: jgornick (~joe@199.199.212.242) (Quit: jgornick)
  986. # [23:47] <jgraham> TabAtkins: I don't really remember that but it is quite distressing to dissect old social situations
  987. # [23:47] * gsnedders can't remember the specifics either
  988. # [23:47] * Quits: svl (~me@macleodhwireless.plus.com) (Quit: And back he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky.)
  989. # [23:48] <TabAtkins> gsnedders: Otherwise what? If I didn't already know you somewhat? If that was the case, I could have at least gone into the suite of job-related questions. I already know what you do, though.
  990. # [23:48] <variable> if I go over social situations I always thing I screwed up badly
  991. # [23:48] * Quits: aroben (~aroben@unaffiliated/aroben) (Quit: Leaving)
  992. # [23:49] <gsnedders> TabAtkins: I basically wouldn't know what to say, at all
  993. # [23:50] <jgraham> Anyway, there was some original point to this
  994. # [23:50] <TabAtkins> variable: Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're analyzing it for places where you could have done better!
  995. # [23:50] <jgraham> Which I think was that you want to be sociable enough that you meet people you like
  996. # [23:50] <jgraham> But not so socialble that you do things that make you unhappy
  997. # [23:51] <jgraham> TabAtkins: I'm not sure I agree with that, necessarily. People generally can't manage clean emotional detachment
  998. # [23:51] <variable> jgraham, s/generally//
  999. # [23:51] <jgraham> So going over stuff in your head doesn't lead to good analysis
  1000. # [23:52] <variable> I used to think I could - but over time I learned no one could
  1001. # [23:52] <TabAtkins> jgraham: In reference to what? Emotionally detaching themselves from the memories of their interaction, so they can study it analytically?
  1002. # [23:53] <gsnedders> It's so easy to just get dragged down into over-analyizing everything
  1003. # [23:54] * variable has to leave now
  1004. # [23:54] <variable> thanks TabAtkins
  1005. # [23:54] <jgraham> TabAtkins: For example
  1006. # [23:54] <TabAtkins> True. You have to teach yourself how to not do that, as well. ^_^ There's a whole lot of generally just learning to recognize and account for emotional imprints in your actions and memories.
  1007. # [23:55] <jgraham> Also, in the specific case of gsnedders, he has a tendency to over-think things at the best of times, which I'm not sure is always good :)
  1008. # [23:55] <TabAtkins> He needs a social coach!
  1009. # [23:55] <gsnedders> jgraham: It's definitely not good. :)
  1010. # [23:56] <gsnedders> jgraham: I'm a lot better about that than I used to be, though.
  1011. # [23:56] <hober> TabAtkins: isn't that what #whatwg is?
  1012. # [23:56] <TabAtkins> (Also, he needs to read lesswrong.com, which has several posts about social interaction in terms of geeky near-aspies.)
