# 00:08 tantek my client shows I posted "lol I'm not using slack, I'm using open source Colloquy" at 17:04
# 00:08 tantek thanks kylewm for cluing in bblfish about freenode irc vs. slack
# 00:08 indie-visitor ah it takes forever to find out what channels tantek who has nothing to learn from any one chats on
# 00:09 indie-visitor because sir tantek is of course all knowning
# 00:10 bblfish so following getting on a W3C working group and then trashing procedures is kind of a cool thing to do?
# 00:10 bblfish because we're all suppose to know on which channel you speak
# 00:11 bblfish and of course the fact that the whole IETF and the Web were built on consensus channels like e-mail, not because everyone loves it, but because it helps come to an understanding, all that is beyond sir Tantek
# 00:12 bblfish no according to Tantek there are no channels just blogs
lukebrooker_ joined the channel
# 00:12 bblfish ah leaves like a weasel
# 00:13 kylewm yeah I agree with KartikPrabhu, this is very off topic and inappropriate personal attacks for this channel/community
# 00:14 bblfish kylewm: the backhand attacks were above by Tantek, strutting around on an irc channel
# 00:14 KevinMarks__ Henry, if you're here looking for help with hosting your own website, welcome
# 00:14 bblfish I have my own web site KevinMarks__
# 00:15 bblfish there are links there to how you can actually make the social web work
# 00:15 bblfish we solved quite a few problems yes
# 00:16 bblfish but you would not know I suppose because hey, you close your ears to anything that questions your assumptions
# 00:16 bblfish seems like you get lost in details KevinMarks__
snarfed joined the channel
# 00:18 KevinMarks__ You said you're going to rebuild your blog on your new code stack. That was 5 years ago
# 00:19 KevinMarks__ I thought you might be here to see what has been built by this group since then
# 00:19 bblfish yes, it's been a long road working out all the little issues along the way
# 00:20 acegiak I thought you weren't getting lost in the details?
# 00:21 bblfish and implementations in Scala
# 00:22 bblfish yes, well that's why I don't usually bother with this channel
# 00:22 kylewm bblfish: people here respond better to running implementations rather than documents and code
# 00:23 kylewm i.e. what have you build with LDP and WebID, i'm eager to learn
# 00:24 bblfish well to learn you have to come over to our channels
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
# 00:24 bblfish I suggest reading a bit on the wiki there
# 00:26 kylewm bblfish: I'm genuinely not saying you don't have running code; just trying to explain why people aren't responding well to loong specs without any idea what practical purpose it's serving
# 00:26 bblfish ok, I think that video at Scala eXchange should help
# 00:26 bblfish no, I just implement in Scala
# 00:27 bblfish I think Sandro has an implementation in Go
# 00:27 bblfish the report above shows a lot of the other implementations
# 00:27 kylewm lots of hoops to jump through to watch a video of unknown length when you could just give the elevator description...
# 00:28 acegiak GWG: So I'm fixing the problem of KSES stripping iframes from context
# 00:28 bblfish There is a short blurb at the front of the video
# 00:28 bblfish "We will show how to build a full Scala client and server application by illustrating it with a use case pushing the limits of what can be done: a distributed secure Social Web server. We do this by using emerging W3C standards: using JSON-LD for distributed data [0] , the Linked Data Protocol [1] as a generic web API, with WebID for distributed authentication [2]. In order to avoid duplication of code and to give us maximum f
# 00:29 bblfish - a scala RDF library that allows us to elegantly write code that can be used both on the web client using scala-js and on the server, whilst allowing us to change implementation with one line of code. On the client we gain maximum speed with a scala-js wrapping of the Facebook React framework, allowing us to write clean functional code.
# 00:30 bblfish that's why I have a video
# 00:30 bblfish Anyway, you were saying that we did nothing over the past 5 years
# 00:31 bblfish what building a distributed social web that can avoid the problems of Snowden revealed to us, can work behind Tor, and is completely open source and open standard is boring?
# 00:31 acegiak yeah, wp_kses allows you to provide a list of allowed tags
# 00:31 bblfish Ah I suppose you must have other aims in life than I do
# 00:32 kylewm bblfish: can you give a url where this is running?
# 00:32 bblfish I'll put one up soon. For the moment you have to compile it yourself
# 00:33 acegiak GWG: I was thinking of just putting the allowed html elements list into a textarea on the options screen as a json object
# 00:34 kylewm bblfish: ok please let us know when it's running somewhere on the web, i would love to check it out
# 00:34 bblfish we had something up a year ago, then I left the startup as they were not interested in too researchy topics
# 00:34 bblfish there are others that are running but nothing yet with eye candy that would make non technical people understand the power of these tools
alanpearce joined the channel
# 00:34 bblfish So we'll tell you when it is easy to understand
# 00:35 kylewm don't need eye candy, just a visible implementation
# 00:35 kylewm or at least a description that is not packed full of plumbing acronyms
# 00:36 acegiak bblfish: also, why not throw some h-card on your blog in the meantime?
# 00:36 acegiak GWG: as long as that doesn't ring alarm bells of terrible ideas to anyone
# 00:38 acegiak I'll push it with a fix for the "sometimes the response url box isn't opopulated when editing a post" bug
# 00:38 GWG Acegiak, I want to see how you are thinking of doing it to get a sense.
# 00:38 bblfish so I hope that shows that 1. we have been working on the difficult problems and 2. why I don't hand out here cause well as Tantek said on issue 19 "Channel explosion has a simple solution, self-limit the channels you use. E.g. ignore the mailing list. It's amazing how productive ignoring the mailing list is." https://www.w3.org/Social/track/issues/19
# 00:40 acegiak KartikPrabhu: I'd love to but the kses function requires you to also list what attributes are allowed for those elements
# 00:40 acegiak and I didn't want to do arbitrary like "newline separated and attributes space separated"
# 00:41 acegiak and php will handle the json transform for me nicely
# 00:42 GWG Acegiak, that empty box issue is one that I just fixed in syndication links
# 00:42 KartikPrabhu yes. but if this is user facing then it might a UI problem to require people to know JSON style
# 00:43 acegiak KartikPrabhu: maybe, but for the moment the only person fiddling with it is lil ol technical me

# 01:04 kylewm based on today's interactions wtih bblfish, i'll assume jab
# 01:14 GWG acegiak: Convert from a ui friendly entry to json
# 01:17 acegiak GWG: where do you set the default values for the options?

# 01:22 GWG acegiak: I realized my mistake on that recently.

# 02:29 benwerd acegiak: I agree - it's on my list but I .. never .. quite .. seem .. to .. get .. to .. it
# 02:31 benwerd thanks for the feedback. always bumps it up a little if I hear about it from someone else ;)

# 04:46 tantek Well, sad to see personal attacks and such but very happy that everyone here responded so much more maturely and did their best to turn things into positives, including good questions. Great job everyone.
# 04:50 acegiak mine does this thing where if I'm typing html tags and their attributes start getting randomly captilised
# 04:50 acegiak KevinMarks__: yeah I saw that, I was just wondering if the connection got made
# 04:51 tantek KevinMarks - were you able to find any sign of implementation or even community?
KevinMarks_ joined the channel
benwerd joined the channel
# 04:55 KevinMarks there were alleged implementations by no instacnes of them running, and lots of turgid specs
# 04:55 acegiak So I've had this itch on whisperfollow for a while where I need to make it show what "page" you've scrolled to or some way of returning where you're up to in the stream in case you close the window or navigate away
# 04:56 acegiak but because I haven't scratched it yet I'm now playng this game where I try and scroll through ~4.5 days of feed without having chrome freak out and die
# 04:58 acegiak KevinMarks: I'm ajax loading content for infinite scroll. I have nothing at the moment to mark how far down the queue I am

# 04:59 KevinMarks you could mark the time you left with a line like slack does?

# 05:30 KartikPrabhu oh boy this could be a great physics-web parody if I had the time. Will give it thought over this weekend
# 05:39 KevinMarks_ Where they describe watching quantum entanglement experiments on the radio
# 05:40 KartikPrabhu haha! and I can cite the actual papers from 100 years ago which are probably on some DOI-type nonsense
# 05:41 KevinMarks_ And that bogus permathread on how urls are documents so people have to be fragments

kylewm joined the channel
# 05:47 KartikPrabhu also due to the holographic princpple everything can be mapped onto 1 byte and thus we have zero latency and infinite cache
# 06:00 tantek KartikPrabhu: the quantum physics analog to web is not that far off
# 06:00 tantek data isn't actually known until it is observed (visibly), e.g. on a web page

pfefferle and KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 07:44 KartikPrabhu I was somehow thrown off by the presentation and didn't recognise the reply context immediately
# 07:45 tantek KartikPrabhu: indeed - auto-scroll to the start of the reply would work better
# 07:45 tantek KevinMarks: bummer about it being on medium - which is not really a "weirdoes" space
# 07:47 tantek I have mixed feelings about such divisiveness.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 07:47 tantek it should be ok to be weird nerds and non-weird nerds and we should just celebrate both
# 07:50 KevinMarks_ Yes, and I do try to. As you pointed out earlier I can be too tolerant
# 07:51 tantek that had nothing to do with weird or non-weird
# 07:51 tantek it's also not about tolerance but rather what/who you choose to amplify
# 07:52 tantek given that, there is something to be said for amplifying the lesser heard voices
# 07:52 tantek the problem with that is then the very talkative get more of your attention purely randomly

# 11:43 GWG pfefferle: I'm just afraid I'm going to have to learn javascript.
# 11:49 GWG pfefferle: One of the things I wanted to do was to hide/show meta boxes based on the post kind selector in the Post Editor. There isn't another easy way to do that. For example, if you select RSVP, it shows the Yes/No/Maybe dialog.
# 11:52 GWG I haven't coded RSVP yet because without the ability to hide it, it would be there all the time.

# 11:56 acegiak GWG: code RSVP and I'll do your javascript for you
# 11:56 GWG acegiak: Appreciate it and I will do that and check-in, most likely. I definitely should learn javascript one of these days though.
