Table rendering bugs are fun. 🤩 a lot of subtleties to explore. Most of them probably useless and with no impact in reality but still super fun. I should write a blog post with examples. #css
It's very rare to post "Any progress?" as a comment on a bug will help in any ways.
If you think the bug has been forgotten, you can
* add more context, new information on how the bug is impacting your work, your website, etc. * Talk about a website you noticed the issue * Link to a forum/blog post where they are discussing this specific issue * Add a testcase to the bug in question
(posting here, because it has happened to me to do just that on other projects and that's not useful.)
If you have never read it, I encourage you to do it. It's a milestone.
Things have changed a lot since its publication, and if you want to understand what the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is up to these days, be sure to follow what is happening on the TAG homepage. https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/
> En France, presque tout le monde se dit prêt à agir pour le climat. Mais alors, pourquoi on ne le fait pas ? Si la crise climatique est aussi existentielle que le disent les scientifiques du Giec, pourquoi est-ce qu’on ne se met pas tous à agir ? Faut-il faire peur, faire pleurer, informer ou donner envie ?
> The impulse to clarify, simplify, and “market” Arendt to a public trained on easy social media quotations is real. > > Which raises a second question: does the alteration matter? And here, the answer is yes. And it turns out that this is hardly the first time that Hannah Arendt’s words have been altered and simplified to ease their public consumption.
#w3cTPAC axiom: ------ In any meetings, it will be very likely at a point, that there will be 3 to 4 ex-Opera (Presto time) people, now working for other companies. ------
Opera Browser (Presto time) has been essential for the Web standards world by driving the technical work and teaching to engineers to participate.
> Ladybird uses a brand new engine based on web standards, without borrowing any code from other browsers. It started as a humble HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby project, but since then it's grown into a full cross-platform browser project supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems. — https://ladybird.org/announcement.html
That said I have had many times the interesting discussion while I was working at W3C with people asking me: "Why don't you force implementer X to implement web standard A?". The answer is indeed because W3C has no enforcement power and for good reasons. Industrial consortium vs Civil society.
There are a lot of careful discussions to have about enforcement of standards through regulations. Not an easy topic. Definitely.
Going through some of my old photos. I found the photo where we discussed on May 18, 2004 in New-York (20 years ago), where should be developed the Atom feed format: #W3C or #IETF.
On me demande à propos du gros tremblement de terre/tsunami en cours. J'étais au bord de l'océan aujourd'hui sur la côte est, face au Pacifique. Tout va bien ici. Le tremblement de terre est sur la côte ouest (la partie face au continent asiatique).
I have been asked about the ongoing big earthquake/tsunami. Today, I was near the ocean on the east coast (facing the Pacific). All normal here. The earthquake has happened on the west coast (facing the Asian continent).
