sknebel, I had the t.co redirect problem solved (in a subset of browsers), but I am not sure if I actually have the whole redirect stack comparing working.
#
Zegnat
Needs more testing, but I can't do all the testing myself, so I need to release to get more testing done. Vicious cycle.

GWG, a question: I have a feeling the wp-admin will go away sooner or later and will be replaced by most probably a massive JS beast calling the REST API; is there any "official" word on this yet?
#
GWG
petermolnar, not that I know of. Last I saw, they wanted admin to be capable of being written in anything by adding feature parity to the API, but no plans to deprecate the existing admin
#
miklb
from content creation standpoint, the REST API is mostly there though I think.
#
petermolnar
the core is actually fine, I have no real problems with that; the admin was the one that seriously pissed me off with it's media handling

GWG
petermolnar, with the REST API you could write your own UI in whatever language you wanted.
#
cweiske
.. and wordpress could phase out wp-admin and force everyone on their js admin app
#
GWG
That is a concern petermolnar has, and he isn't alone, but I think it is premature.

cweiske

GWG
I think a php wp-admin will still exist. It might be rewritten to use the same API though.

Zegnat
Say, does anyone know who first coined the shortened DOCTYPE for HTML5?
#
GWG
I'm not against JS, just as 'icing' on the cake, not the cake itself
#
cweiske
this is why a and b

cweiske
this is why I a and b!

Zegnat, I remember it being fine empirically on whatwg
#
KevinMarks
s/fine/defined/
#
KevinMarks
By seeing what the shortest string was that would turn off quirks mode
#
Zegnat
Ah, so it is a hack more so than an idea by someone, KevinMarks?
#
KevinMarks
An idea empirically tested
#
Zegnat
Interesting. We were discussing old doctypes at work and just trying to figure out the history behind the shortening and if anyone specifically thought it up
#
Zegnat
Will cite Henri tomorrow
#
KevinMarks
That is a well written article.

aaronpk: Is OAuth: [token[ an earlier version of Authorize: Bearer [token] header? Saw the former in some code and I wasn't familiar with it.
#
gRegorLove
Bah. Multiple mistakes there. You get the gist. :)
#
aaronpk
yeah before draft 10 of OAuth 2.0 the header used "OAuth" instead of "Bearer"

gRegorLove
Heh. This code is impersonating a browser to login then grab the sessionID and send that header, instead of using cURL with the client_id and client_secret.
#
gRegorLove
what is webextensions
#
Loqi
WebExtensions are a cross-browser way to develop browser add-ons https://indieweb.org/WebExtensions
