@thatEmil woah, huge possibility for profound-sounding statments right there :)
Aaaand… I bought my @dConstruct ticket! Now this will act as incentive to organise the rest of the trip. As if @indiewebcampuk wasn’t enough already :)
Bit bummed I had to sign up for Google Wallet to pay, but hey.
Aral Balkan there’s been a lot of discussion recently about deletion of #indieweb content — some documented here: indiewebcamp.com/deleted and indiewebcamp.com/POSSE#Delete
E.G. if I’ve replied to one of your notes/tweets and stored a reply context so even if your copy goes down my content still makes sense, but you delete the original — should I delete it, devaluing my own content? Should I mark it as changed or deleted?
MDN says FF has “implemented” the SVG text module, then goes on to list 13 presentation attributes which “don’t work”. How exactly does that count as implementing the module? Grr. This is why @supports
is doomed.
@seb_ly also kinda hilarious that they threaten to “print out” reposts. Tempted to alter my print styles to give them a little surprise…
Are there any languages with datatypes with built in version control? Would be pretty great for debugging.
Some of my favourite humour comes from the dissonance created when maths and dry, scientific language is used to analyse creative license. This is a classic example:

I love trying to introspect humour, attempting to articulate exactly what it is about something which makes it so funny. In this case I think it stems from the fact that the source material was intended to be passively consumed. At first, the presenter defies this intention by deconstructing the physics involved — a form of intense seeing.
This on its own might be moderately amusing, but instead of simply saying “this is not possible”, he actually acknowledges the original intention and assumes that it must be possible (“I saw it on TV, it must be true!”).
I think the humour here comes from the fact that, despite clearly having the skills to debunk the animation, he barely even acknowledges that he has that choice, and instead changes his own understanding of the show to make it fit (e.g. the ponies are made of dark matter).

Quick poll: “schedule” as “sked-you-ull” or “shed-you-ull”?
Aaron Parecki sssh! I got a good thing going on here :D
This is your periodic reminder that fungi are amazing and vitally important to life on earth — but, schools always prioritise animals and plants. Correct this inbalance! Learn about the wonders of hyphae! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus
Aral Balkan just booking my flights+accommodation etc., any news RE the design workshop you mentioned? Would be handy to know if solidified so I can adjust travel plans :)
Just in case anyone was wondering, the “HA HA HA SOUP” bookmark in those gifs is this bookmarklet:
document.createTreeWalker
is actually pretty great.
That's just the web, right? I mean, we've had the a href tag since literally the beginning of HTML / The Web. It's for linking documents. Documents are a representation of data.
Ha, so true — @veganstraightedge on #rdf #html (source)
Taking distributed #indieweb actions on your own site, in context? Yes, webaction toolbelt does that:
To clarify, this is a page on news.indiewebcamp.com which supports inline webactions. When I click “Reply”, a pre-populated new note form from my own site is loaded into an iframe. It detects this, and adjusts its styling accordingly.
Fresh out of the oven: Kanilsnúðar!
They’re a little small, I think I need to make double quantities next time! Or, roll the dough thicker and make fewer.
I followed this recipe. The Hjartasalt really does puff them up nicely!
Musing on why we only turn to natural language for defining the behaviour of out applications instead of the business logic itself.
