- # [00:00] <annacc> any gtk experts out there mind helping me with a (probably simple) issue with GNUmakefile.list.am ?
- # [00:01] <Philip`> AryehGregor: Surely the most convenient thing would be a .js file you can drop it and that will work with perfect compatibility on all browsers with no effort
- # [00:01] <AryehGregor> Philip`, a) the long run counts too, b) I don't personally care about old browsers.
- # [00:01] <AryehGregor> The specific use-case I was thinking of only needs to run in Aurora and Chrome dev.
- # [00:02] <zewt> being able to have an async API for it would be nice, though that's an easy worker use case anyway
- # [00:03] * Quits: tomasf_ (~tomasf@h88-206-139-114.vokby.se) (Quit: tomasf_)
- # [00:05] <jamesr> crypto APIs should provide stuff like SHA1
- # [00:05] <jamesr> because authors shouldn't have to roll their own crypto. there are a ton of ways to do it wrong
- # [00:05] <jamesr> but what's the source data that you are trying to SHA1? something like a blob, or a data structure in JS?
- # [00:08] <zewt> i've wanted to get a hash of a file selected in a file input, to ask the server if it's already there; that case would want a blob, at least
- # [00:08] <jamesr> yeah i think there should be a way to say "gimme a sha1 of this (file or blob)" that doesn't require reading the entire thing into JS memory
- # [00:09] <AryehGregor> jamesr, a password, in my case.
- # [00:09] <zewt> well you definitely want an incremental API, so you can hash data of arbitrary size
- # [00:09] <AryehGregor> But it would be cool to be able to do files or blobs.
- # [00:09] <zewt> eg. the usual init/update/digest API
- # [00:09] <AryehGregor> First you want a basic API that just provides someObject.sha1(). That will cover a lot of use-cases already.
- # [00:10] <AryehGregor> But yeah, an incremental one would be handy too, why not.
- # [00:10] <jamesr> adam barth and some folks at mozilla have been looking at crypto apis
- # [00:10] <zewt> i'd start with the core API: digest.update/digest from blobs, and then see what can't be done with that
- # [00:11] <zewt> i wouldn't start with the more limited api, since you might not need that at all once you have the lower-level one
- # [00:11] * Quits: micheil (~micheil@195.24.233.121) (Quit: http://brandedcode.com | http://github.com/miksago)
- # [00:11] <zewt> eg. if you want to hash a password, use BlobBuilder + that API
- # [00:12] <AryehGregor> So you have to use how many lines instead of one?
- # [00:13] <AryehGregor> There's no reason not to expose a convenience API for the very common case where you want to hash something that you already have fully in memory.
- # [00:13] <AryehGregor> PHP *only* exposes such a function, and I bet some of the JS libraries that implement hash functions also do.
- # [00:13] <zewt> shrug, 5-6? i don't think code golfing the narrow "get a hash of a JS string" use case is a good reason to have more APIs
- # [00:13] <AryehGregor> I think this is a case where adding a shortcut API for the common case is a no-brainer.
- # [00:14] <AryehGregor> In my experience scripting, it's vastly more common to want to hash something small than something big.
- # [00:14] <zewt> add the core api, play around with it for a while, then decide if you really need shortcut bloat
- # [00:14] <zewt> (also, see how the core api wrangles out, to see what the shortcut api would look like)
- # [00:16] <AryehGregor> It should look like someObject.sha1(s).
- # [00:16] <AryehGregor> That's what other languages expose. I know PHP does off the top of my head. C libraries like OpenSSL also expose such a shortcut, SHA1() in the one I used.
- # [00:16] <Philip`> How do you hash a string of 16-bit units?
- # [00:16] <zewt> i'd have a core API as eg: hash = new SHA1(); hash.update(blob); /* maybe allow hash.update(string); */ hash.digest();
- # [00:17] <AryehGregor> Python seems not to have shortcuts.
- # [00:17] <zewt> (where hash.update(string) is the shortcut API--definitely don't need a whole separate entry point)
- # [00:17] <zewt> python's hashlib works very well
- # [00:17] <AryehGregor> Philip`, . . . hmm. Well, btoa() treats it as an array of bytes, and throws if any code unit is > 0x00ff.
- # [00:18] <AryehGregor> That's an awkward point, though.
- # [00:18] <zewt> if there's a string shortcut, i'd think the only useful thing to do would be to convert to UTF-8
- # [00:18] <zewt> since that's usually what you want
- # [00:18] <Philip`> someObject.sha1("\ud800"); // ???
- # [00:18] <Philip`> or anything else you can't represent in UTF-8
- # [00:19] <zewt> why can't you represent that in utf-8?
- # [00:19] <zewt> roundtrips fine in python
- # [00:21] <zewt> oh, python is probably storing strings as UCS-4, where that's not an incomplete codepoint
- # [00:22] <Philip`> http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#utf8-5
- # [00:24] <Philip`> The UTF-16 incompleteness matters less than that you can't represent U+D800 as a legal UTF-8 sequence
- # [00:24] <zewt> if it's actually a complete surrogate pair then it should be converted, of course; if it's a mismatched surrogate arguably it should either just convert it (so it roundtrips) or throw
- # [00:24] <zewt> (IMO, throwing to try to be as anal as unicode would like the world to be would probably be more trouble than it's worth)
- # [00:24] <Philip`> If this is meant to be used for comparing against hashes computed by servers, it seems like it ought to do as little magic as possible, else people will get confused by why hashes don't match and it will be impossible to debug
- # [00:25] <zewt> that raises a question, though: what about BlobBuilder.append? that says "writing it as UTF-8" without further elaboration
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> The way btoa() works is at least not terribly hard to understand.
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> Although it's a bit tricky to figure out how to convert a UTF-16 string to a form it will accept.
- # [00:25] <zewt> or rather, it raises the same question

- # [00:27] <AryehGregor> Sigh. Why does introducing trivial APIs always have to involve getting bogged down in details?
- # [00:27] <zewt> yeah, my python is built with UCS-4 strings, so it's not a very good comparison
- # [00:28] <zewt> AryehGregor: well, this seems like a detail that already has to be worked out; BlobBuilder opened the door here
- # [00:28] <zewt> presumably whatever that does, this API would follow suit

- # [10:35] <MikeSmith> Kellen`: fwiw, the W3C systems team has also ask for error IDs, for localization purposes
- # [10:35] <MikeSmith> I told them the same thing that hsivonen told you
- # [10:36] <MikeSmith> but they've told me they are planning on trying to add them, and contributing a patch
- # [10:36] <MikeSmith> I don't quite know how they plan to do it, but I think they have someone assigned to work on it
- # [10:37] <Kellen`> MikeSmith: you could use a properties file for all the error strings and do the localization on output from the webservice
- # [10:37] <MikeSmith> yeah
- # [10:37] <Kellen`> messy, but it'd achieve the purpose
- # [10:37] <MikeSmith> I think hsivonen discusses that approach in his thesis, actually

- # [10:38] <MikeSmith> http://hsivonen.iki.fi/thesis/html5-conformance-checker.xhtml
- # [10:38] <MikeSmith> though some of the code has changed considerably since the time when he wrote that
- # [10:39] <MikeSmith> for one thing, I think he wrote it before he implemented the validator.nu conforming HTML5 parser
- # [10:40] <MikeSmith> http://hsivonen.iki.fi/thesis/html5-conformance-checker.xhtml#localizability
- # [10:40] <MikeSmith> that part discusses the error messages

- # [10:41] <Kellen`> thanks, yeah that was exactly what i was thinking
- # [10:42] <Kellen`> i'm using the parser internally so the localization doesn't matter so much, but it'd be nice not to have to update my code if the messages change ever so slightly

- # [18:12] <wilhelm> I haven't heard back from Apple.
- # [18:12] <AryehGregor> Nice.
- # [18:12] <AryehGregor> There are quite a lot of tests floating around at this point that browsers should all be running.
- # [18:13] <AryehGregor> Although this reminds me, I need to give some people a poke (and/or stab) about my reflection tests again.
- # [18:13] <AryehGregor> They seem to be moldering indefinitely in submission/.
- # [18:13] <wilhelm> TabAtkins (and possibly others - you guys need to figure that out :) will attend from Google. I have also invited Simon Stewart separately (Google too, but from the WebDriver project).
- # [18:14] * AryehGregor isn't really part of "you guys" when it comes to Google
- # [18:14] * AryehGregor justs happens to receive money from them for some reason
- # [18:14] <wilhelm> Yes. And I know several browser vendors, Opera included, have large numbers of unreleased tests.
- # [18:14] <wilhelm> They should be released, in formats all the other browser vendors can use. (c:
- # [18:14] <AryehGregor> Well, it can't be "several" when there are only two notable browser vendors whose rendering engines are closed-source.
- # [18:15] <AryehGregor> I somehow doubt Mozilla or anyone from WebKit has many secret tests.
- # [18:15] <AryehGregor> They have lots that other browsers can't straightforwardly use as it stands, though.
- # [18:15] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: Apple do, certainly.
- # [18:15] <AryehGregor> Really? For testing the rendering engine and not just the browser UI and such?
- # [18:16] <wilhelm> Eh, yes, that could have been phrased better. Not all the publicly available tests have been submitted to working groups, using sensible frameworks and formats. (c:
- # [18:16] <gsnedders> For testing the rendering engine. They can't have copies of Gmail and the like publicly, for example.
- # [18:16] <AryehGregor> Like, tests that are going to fail when people do WebKit checkins but the people who do the checkin won't notice for who knows how long because the WebKit buildbots don't run the tests?
- # [18:17] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: Potentionally yes.
- # [18:17] <AryehGregor> I thought copies of things like Gmail are useless because they change way too rapidly and are way too complicated, so that you're best off just waiting for user reports.

- # [18:18] <AryehGregor> I guess user reports aren't as helpful when you have a Safari-style release schedule instead of a Chrome/Firefox schedule with bajillions of beta testers.
- # [18:18] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: Whether it's for performance testing or regression testing is a good question, but they certainly have copies of major sites and the like.
- # [18:18] <AryehGregor> Interesting.

- # [18:20] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: But yeah, the more serious point is the majority of tests vendors have isn't really in any form useful to any other vendor.
- # [18:20] <wilhelm> Also, tests requring some sort of user interaction is an unsolved problem. I think every browser vendor is doing something slightly different, if they are automating such things at all.

- # [18:25] <wilhelm> I think some mutation of WebDriver is the solution. Which is why I've invited Simon Stewart (and why the basic WebDriver API will be specced and standarized in the tools WG).
- # [18:26] <AryehGregor> Makes sense.
- # [18:26] * bga_|away is now known as bga_
- # [18:27] <wilhelm> We use the Watir API at Opera (which is built on top of the more verbose WebDriver API).

- # [18:45] <AryehGregor> Isn't WebDriver something people want to implement in browsers anyway? Or am I confusing it with something else?

- # [18:45] <AryehGregor> Oh, I am.
- # [18:45] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: You need something to control the web browser, and something that exposes an API to control it with.
- # [18:45] * Philip` thinks standardising on languages sounds like a pretty futile exercise, since everyone has their own favourites and not enough motivation to use a different one

- # [18:48] <wilhelm> gsnedders: Actually, if someone did write JS bindings for WebDriver, it would magically work in all browsers.
- # [18:48] <gsnedders> wilhelm: Using the remote API?
- # [18:48] <Philip`> AryehGregor: If it's meant to integrate with browser developers' testing systems (getting tests from them and giving other tests to them), then the relevant people are not all the same people
- # [18:48] <wilhelm> gsnedders: By simply mapping the JS function calls to the WebDriver API calls.
- # [18:49] <wilhelm> All the business logic is one level below.
- # [18:49] <Philip`> OCaml is unusually obscure compared to PHP/Python/Perl/Ruby/JS/etc
- # [18:49] <gsnedders> wilhelm: But how would it call the WebDriver API?
- # [18:49] <wilhelm> If someone would be willing to make that investment, this might be a possible solution.
- # [18:50] <wilhelm> gsnedders: Eh. Andreas would know. (c:
- # [18:50] * wilhelm is a dump user in this particular case.
- # [18:50] <wilhelm> eh, dumb
- # [18:50] <gsnedders> wilhelm: I mean, the only way I can think is to use the remote API, hence communicating over HTTP.
- # [18:50] <wilhelm> Yes, I think that's what the different bindings use.
- # [18:50] <AryehGregor> I should clarify that the tests themselves should be entirely in JS.

- # [18:52] <gsnedders> The aim of the WebDriver approach is to run tests in the normal executation mode.
- # [18:53] <gsnedders> If you want to use WebDriver within JS, it may as well be from a JS shell, which means managing to implement WebDriver host objects.

- # [18:55] <ryanmunger> i am excited to start using the new strucrural elements, as well as microformats!
- # [18:55] <jarib> not sure how it works exactly
- # [18:56] <ryanmunger> the only thing that is strange about html5 is the fact that we can have like 10 <h1> tags on the same page
- # [18:56] <ryanmunger> how does google and other search engines view that at the moment?
- # [18:56] <jarib> but a JS client could potentially use the existing wire protocol (which is JSON/HTTP)
- # [18:57] <wilhelm> jarib: Interesting. Is the project alive?
- # [18:58] <jarib> wilhelm: the dev doing most of the work has been out for a while due to an injury, so not at the moment.
- # [18:59] <gsnedders> jarib: Right, that's what I was guessing. So it could run in one browser and potentionally control another.
- # [18:59] * Parts: brucel (~brucel@cpc4-smal11-2-0-cust879.perr.cable.virginmedia.com)
- # [18:59] <jarib> yep
- # [19:00] <gsnedders> Would likely require XHR2, though, as to communicate with the wire protocol
- # [19:01] <wilhelm> Running it in a second browser would be suboptimal for completely automated testing, though.

- # [19:04] <AryehGregor> ryanmunger, mostly here we're excited about the boring matter of writing standards and tests clear enough that browsers actually interoperate in practice. What search engines do is something that a) probably we don't know, and b) we don't care about so much.
- # [19:05] <ryanmunger> gotcha
- # [19:05] <AryehGregor> Nearly all the active people here are either browser implementers, or spec and/or test writers.
- # [19:05] <AryehGregor> Search engines not so much.
- # [19:06] <AryehGregor> They use nonstandard heuristics, generally, so not our lookout. We define theoretical semantics and they'll probably support it if they see enough authors using it.
- # [19:06] <ryanmunger> wthank you for the clarification
- # [19:06] <ryanmunger> i will do my best to keep up
- # [19:06] <AryehGregor> Except they'll probably support some variant that better reflects what people actually use, and not follow the standard.
- # [19:06] <AryehGregor> So whatever.
- # [19:06] <ryanmunger> which follows the whole "pave the cowpaths" model, right?
- # [19:07] <AryehGregor> Something like that, yeah.
- # [19:07] <wilhelm> It predates any formal model, but yes. (c:
- # [19:07] * Joins: jamesr (jamesr@nat/google/x-hlaanzlpjgfbrrgq)
- # [19:07] <AryehGregor> Although in our case we try to pave them, search engines are maybe more likely to just use them as-is.
- # [19:07] <ryanmunger> i guess a healthy medium of "formal model" and "using what is already being used" would be a good approach...
- # [19:07] <AryehGregor> We try to adapt existing browser behavior to be sane enough that we can standardize it without crying ourselves to sleep at night.
- # [19:08] <ryanmunger> :)

- # [19:08] <wilhelm> I suppose that too can be exciting. :P
- # [19:08] <ryanmunger> well, this is a little off topic, but someone needs to tell firefox to find a better way to update their browser
- # [19:09] <ryanmunger> since everytime i do, it breaks every plugin i have installed
- # [19:09] <AryehGregor> Yeah, I think they know that.
- # [19:09] <AryehGregor> They're kind of trapped by the fact that they're adopting this rapid-release thing so late in the game.
- # [19:09] <ryanmunger> i can see them using the "update it behind the scenes" model that chrome uses
- # [19:09] <AryehGregor> Chrome did it from day one and so they made sure their extension APIs were stable.
- # [19:09] <ryanmunger> yeah
- # [19:09] <ryanmunger> does anyone develop in chrome, here?
- # [19:09] <AryehGregor> Firefox has way deeper extension APIs, so they can't keep them stable, so extensions have to sometimes break on release.
- # [19:09] <ryanmunger> i am thinking about making that jump
- # [19:10] <AryehGregor> There are a few Chrome developers who hang out here, yeah.
- # [19:10] <ryanmunger> i am more of a 60% designer, 40% front end dev
- # [19:10] <AryehGregor> We've got at least one or two regular visitors from every major browser except IE.
- # [19:10] <ryanmunger> sounds like firefox needs to standardize their plugins?
- # [19:10] <AryehGregor> They can't without breaking all of them for good.
- # [19:11] <AryehGregor> They're trying to get people to move to Jetpacks, which are more like Chrome extensions and won't break on upgrade (hopefully).

- # [19:11] <ryanmunger> it will be interesting to see what the future holds in terms of making firefox plugins future proof
- # [19:12] <ryanmunger> i feel like it's the wordpress days, when you would update wordpress and your entire site would break
- # [19:12] <AryehGregor> Extensions are also holding back Firefox from moving to a multi-process model.
- # [19:12] <ryanmunger> i do like that about chrome, as well
- # [19:12] <ryanmunger> the mpm
- # [19:12] <AryehGregor> ("extensions" and "plugins" are different things for non-IE browsers, by the way -- plugins are things like Flash or Java that use the NPAPI and work cross-browser, extensions are browser-specific)

- # [19:20] <AryehGregor> . . . Other than as a user.
- # [19:22] <Philip`> It's not about anything web-related (it's a few layers further down the stack); I just got involved in HTML5 stuff a while ago since canvas was fun but broken, and then hung around for no particular reason
- # [19:23] <AryehGregor> Makes sense.
- # [19:23] <ryanmunger> ah, canvas
- # [19:23] <AryehGregor> You've mentioned something about game development, no?

- # [19:25] <zewt> it's capable of pieces of it (the webgl side of "canvas", anyway, not so much the 2d side), but i have my doubts of web app APIs will ever fully displace native ones

- # [19:49] <zewt> (that's one of them, to be sure, but not the biggest)
- # [19:50] <AryehGregor> C to assembly is a better analogy. Assembly will never disappear because there are some things C can't do, but you'll only find it used for niche things.

- # [19:51] <AryehGregor> If the Chrome OS concept takes off, which I suspect it will as web APIs become more powerful, then most developers won't be able to develop for anything but the web platform, if they want to target devices like Chrome OS.
- # [19:51] <zewt> the need for web apis to be cross-platform (meaning, in most cases, lowest-common-denominator), and the need in most cases for them to be safe enough to run untrusted code on (this at least could be improved, and hopefully will)
- # [19:51] <gsnedders> AryehGregor: That depends how much Google tries to standardize it's platform

- # [19:52] <gsnedders> (How you deal with SSE and the like from a high-level langauge is a good question, though)
- # [19:52] <zewt> "not far off" for JIT tends to mean things like "only four times slower"
- # [19:52] <zewt> well, SSE is even hard in C, which is why most native-code developers still drop to assembly for it

- # [21:25] <jgraham> It feels too much like bad experiences with PHP
- # [21:26] <AryehGregor> jgraham, granted. What do you suggest instead?
- # [21:26] <AryehGregor> Do you have a problem with the general idea?
- # [21:27] <jgraham> Well it would be interesting to know what is slow. Maybe the templating stuff can stay (although I grant that it is complex) but can build a string for innerHTML rather than doing DOM operations
- # [21:27] * Quits: dbaron (~dbaron@nat/mozilla/x-mrdhmuikigsstgps) (Quit: rebooting for security updates)
- # [21:28] <AryehGregor> What use is the templating stuff? It just adds complexity. It's not like it makes the code any shorter.
- # [21:30] * Joins: dbaron (~dbaron@nat/mozilla/x-xsnqtjvfqzwoipnu)
- # [21:30] <jgraham> Well I think it is shorter than doing all the DOM operations by hand would be. Or at least less complex
- # [21:30] <AryehGregor> It's longer in this case.
- # [21:30] <AryehGregor> Look at the diffstat, then count the added/removed lines that are blank or comments.
- # [21:31] <AryehGregor> That's even including the addition of my escape_html function.
- # [21:31] <jgraham> Well yeah, but you're not doing dom operations, you're doing unsafe string manipulation
- # [21:31] <AryehGregor> That's the point, yes. It's much faster for large inputs. Also, why do you say "unsafe"?
- # [21:32] <AryehGregor> I mean, clearly they're unsafe if misused, but in this case it's pretty easy to see that it's safe (I think).
- # [21:32] <AryehGregor> Also, it's not like we're super-worried here about XSS in the test cases.
- # [21:33] <jgraham> Well yeah, but the point is that in general it's not safe
- # [21:33] <jgraham> No, I'm not worried about XSS
- # [21:33] <AryehGregor> It is if you escape properly.
- # [21:33] <AryehGregor> It's also much, much shorter and easier to understand.
- # [21:33] <jgraham> But it is tiresome if we start getting issues where adding the wrong kind of character to the test name causes weird brokenness
- # [21:33] <AryehGregor> And I strongly suspect it's faster, at least in Gecko, although I didn't do multiple runs to verify.
- # [21:34] <jgraham> Which I have seen in similar systems
- # [21:34] <jgraham> I can easily believe that it is faster
- # [21:34] <AryehGregor> Faster is a big issue when you have tens of thousands of tests on a page.
- # [21:34] <AryehGregor> Most of the time is spent rendering the results, not running the actual tests.
- # [21:34] <AryehGregor> That's bad.
- # [21:35] <jgraham> Yes, I can see that is a problem. Having tens of thousands of tests on a page wasn't a design goal
- # [21:35] <AryehGregor> Well, in Firefox that's true. Chrome seems to spend most of the time running them, but still an appreciable amount of time rendering them.

- # [21:57] <AryehGregor> It occurs to me that if we tested all of HTML5 at the same level of depth I like to write tests, the full test suite would take weeks to run.
- # [21:57] <AryehGregor> Oh well.
- # [21:57] <jgraham> shepazu: Depending on it in testharness.js given that it doesn't work on SVG elements yet
- # [21:57] <AryehGregor> It should parallelize nicely.
- # [21:57] <jgraham> AryehGregor: ACID4!
- # [21:57] <jgraham> It will require proper dedication to get a result ;)

- # [22:14] <AryehGregor> jamesr, why isn't it trivial in a browser-based harness?
- # [22:14] <AryehGregor> If you have separate test pages.
- # [22:14] <AryehGregor> Just parallelize across the pages.

- # [22:14] <mkanat> AryehGregor: And you want to run 300 at once.
- # [22:14] <jamesr> maybe you could open up a test run page in a bunch of (isolated) tabs and have some central broker shard the tests out
- # [22:15] <AryehGregor> Sure.
- # [22:15] <mkanat> jamesr: Like with postMessage?
- # [22:15] <jgraham> Why not just use multiple browser instances
- # [22:15] <jgraham> On multiple physical machines
- # [22:15] <mkanat> jgraham: That would be even better, then you'd run out of RAM after opening just three.
- # [22:15] <AryehGregor> Or do it by some unit (e.g., directory) that's large enough that you can just spawn a new tab for each one without load balancing.
- # [22:15] <mkanat> jgraham: That would indeed solve the problem, physical machines.
- # [22:15] <mkanat> jgraham: And it was my original thought as well.
- # [22:16] <jgraham> If the tests are anything like efficient you can't parallelise well in one browser instance simply because you quickly use up all the avaliable CPU

- # [22:16] <jgraham> Also working out what happened when something crashes becomes tricky
- # [22:16] <mkanat> jgraham: Well, not all browser tests would be CPU-intensive.
- # [22:17] <AryehGregor> Almost all will be.
- # [22:17] <AryehGregor> I mean, they don't *have* to be.
- # [22:17] <jamesr> what else would they be?
- # [22:17] <mkanat> jamesr: GPU, RAM.
- # [22:17] <jgraham> GPU sure
- # [22:17] <mkanat> jamesr: And some few (storage) would be I/O bound.
- # [22:17] <jgraham> RAM not so much
- # [22:17] <jamesr> memory-bound is the same as cpu-bound
- # [22:17] <jamesr> if you're really blocked on memory bandwidth
- # [22:17] <mkanat> jamesr: Memory-speed bound, sure.
- # [22:17] <AryehGregor> You could conceivably have tests that require large delays to be inserted for some reason.
- # [22:18] <jamesr> storage tests shouldn't be I/O bound unless the implementation is pretty bad
- # [22:18] <AryehGregor> Or I/O, yeah, or GPU.
- # [22:18] <mkanat> jamesr: No, I do agree with you that in my imaginary world, most HTML tests are CPU-bound.
- # [22:18] <jgraham> Tests that require large delays are not uncommon
- # [22:18] <mkanat> AryehGregor: setTimeout.
- # [22:18] <jgraham> If you are testing networking code, for example
- # [22:18] <mkanat> AryehGregor: I mean, that test would involve a delay.
- # [22:18] <jamesr> network bound is reasonable
- # [22:18] <AryehGregor> Yes, but that's a tiny minority of tests.
- # [22:18] <jgraham> But anyway, parallelising across multiple browsers makes all of this rather easy to deal with
- # [22:18] <AryehGregor> I mean setTimeout.
- # [22:18] <mkanat> Well, but if you were testing network code, I'd probably test against localhost.
- # [22:18] <AryehGregor> Network, maybe not.
- # [22:18] <mkanat> AryehGregor: Yeah, agreed that it's a small minority.
- # [22:19] <AryehGregor> But who cares? Just spawn significantly more instances than you have CPUs.
