#Loqibnvk: tantek left you a message 1 hour, 16 minutes ago: but these criticisms are coming from those who were in the community, that's the difference, that's what's new.
#KartikPrabhuanyone know how to make form fields always show right aligned text? For example: I am using an input element to display permalinks to my posts. But the input field is small and so the url always appears with the site name, with the post name hidden to the right. UX-wise, it might be better if the end of the url i.e. the post name was visible with the site name hidden on the left. Any suggestions? See example here at the bo
#tantekKartikPrabhu your message was cut-off after "here at the bo"
#tantekbret - it's a should not a must ;) and you've got your face on your Twitter avatar https://twitter.com/bretolius so why settle for anything less for your own domain?
#tantekbret - I hadn't seen it and their validator is wrong ;)
#tantekKartikPrabhu - all POSSE is silo destination dependent
#tantekand thus there's quite a bit of room for silo-specific "art-direction" ;)
#tantekbut inevitably, expect that the silo POSSE copy will be lower fidelity than what you can do on your own site
#tantekhowever that's a *feature* - it encourages readers on that silo to click through and view the high fidelity original on your own site
#KartikPrabhuyes. but I suspect it would be a problem with feed syndication too. sort of throws a wrench in the whole 'readers should read whereever they want' philosophy
#tantekand thus if they're your friends, it's only polite to accommodate them, rather than make them read some other way
#KartikPrabhubut most people would prefer to get all their internet at one place, be it a feed reader or Google+ or such. Is it a good idea to direct them back to to your site for 'the best experience'?
#tantekrather it's good for you to express yourself as richly as you wish to, and not limit yourself by what silos allow
#tantekPOSSE is the compromise to at least give your friends something where they happen to read things.
#tantekRSS was/is so poor a standard that it motivated dozens of people to develop the alternative of Atom
#tanteksimilarly, any apologisms for Media RSS are misplace - also a poor standard from the start, and poor stewardship as well
#cweiskeI tend to believe the internet tv players vs. rss theory
#tantekultimately - all of these problems are just facets of the weakness that is combination of DRY violation and invisible side files that are always eventually neglected relative to HTML
#tantekRSS was weak to begin with. It didn't take much for attack it.
#tantekthe whole XML makes the world valid pipe-dream was always wishful thinking
#tantekwishful thinking by programmers that don't understand the messiness of successful systems
#cweiskethen why webmention? pingback works, you only need a library to use it
#tantekalso, nevermind UX, all such parsing discussions are trumped by higher fidelity content you get by not violating DRY
#tantekhigher fidelity content > perception of easier parsing
#cweiskedoes "DRY" mean that the content is only available in one format, or only in one location?
#tantek.comedited /webmention (+834) "/* FAQ */ Why webmention instead of pingback (good to answer this up front for folks that are already familiar with pingback)" (view diff)
#tantekcweiske - both kinds of DRY violation are possible
#cweiskeisn't a your homepage index such a violation?
#tantekhahaha that's funny. you're either new at this, or trolling. optimizing for publishers over consumers has been a long-standing obvious design principle.
#tantek(more optimal in the aggregate, number of people etc.)
#cweiskemoving your idea to the real world, newspapers aren't necessary if i can look at the raw data
#tanteknope, newspapers are better UX than raw data and if you read up, that was the first thing I pointed out - UX matters orders of magnitude more than all the nits you're trying to pick
#tantekand thus you're violating amdahl's law by focusing so much time on optimizing such a minor % of the work of making something work
#cweiskethe work the parsers have to do is per-user, not per-parser. thus it is important that it's easy to consume
#tantekparser code re-use is far higher than publisher code re-use
#KevinMarksI'd argue that there is an indieweb aspect to the proliferation of readers and publishers of rss that that article documents to some extent, but that it was always hugely imperfect
#barnabywalterstricky to tell whether it’s a joke or some sort of bizarre artwork
#aaronpkLOL at the first comment on that comment cweiske linked to: "Would you please post this an complete page of its own on a blog somewhere. It's an excellent analysis/commentary on the situation."

#snarfedaaronpk: yup, gotta love generic comment spam. endlessly entertaining
#@secretmildredLive-tweeted implementing POSSE to Twitter over at @chloeweil. All tweets posted from mah blog. Not too far from realizing the dream now.
#tantekso strange because those are the same versions I think Kevin Marks used
#KartikPrabhuyes. and he seem to have gotten some frame for FF. But I get that on some, like adactio but not on others
#bnvkI don't think I will buy another Apple smart device ever again- their mobile carrier lock in nonsense is absurd and has consumed 10+ hrs of my life trying to get my ipad working on Verizon
#tantekbnvk - I thought you were very happy with your ipad mini mobile data setup - thought it was very portable and stuff?!?
#bnvktantek: regarding logo icons, I notice you don't do the multiple sizes for Apple, like aaronpk did- has Apple improved the parsing so as not need the sizes="" attr?
#tantek.comedited /icon (+117) "/* Why all the different sizes */ emphasize the not case" (view diff)
#bnvkah, gotcha! And hence "updating" would be the onus of the browser / OS to handle using said standard?

#tantekbnvk - I've thought about simply having Falcon read my h-card from my index.html home page template, get the "logo" from there, and then automatically generate the rel="shortcut icon" markup etc.
#tantekso that I as the author/user/publisher only need to update the h-card on my home page index template to have it all work.
#tantekreducing DRY violations on the authoring side at least
