@mahemoff Looking forward to it. Dug out a polyfill (github.com/polymer/HTMLIm…) in a conversation w/ @stilkov today: twitter.com/tomayac/status….

@stilkov Client- or server-side? For the concrete problem, there’re solutions on both sides, w/ pros & cons (think indexing, non-JS env.,…).

8:01 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Oh! “Compiling” HTML sends students the wrong signal IMHO. I’d prefer a pre-built HTML template w/ the polyfill (& comment on why).

7:16 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Wait, does that mean your students have to compile their HTML after each iteration? Or is the conversion happening on-the-fly?

7:09 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Not aware of any, but should be simple enough to create one :-)

6:19 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov If it’s purely for teaching purposes, why don’t you work w/ a polyfill? github.com/polymer/HTMLIm…

6:03 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Fair enough, but you’ve a best practice not implemented yet dilemma. The deprecated practice had its justified use cases..#HTML40101

6:00 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov If it has to be pure HTML (sans server), then exactly this is an ideal candidate for iframes or even frames (as ugly as it sounds).

5:54 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Then I fear iframe is your technology of choice (if you want to keep it simple and entry-level friendly).

5:50 PM, Jul 17th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov You mean what will work once HTML Imports is implemented (progressing in #Blink src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?v…): dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponen…

@mac_nibblet Not sure I understand the question… Migrations of what? Disclaimer: I’m not working on the App Engine team.

@RubenVerborgh @TomDeNies Congratulations both! Team Belgium keeps hijacking conferences ;-)

@cramforce Didn’t know that. The best is the #iPass payment option, for obvious reasons :-) Cf. twitter.com/cramforce/stat… (me flying American)

@nicolastorzec May be a good candidate for porting to #JavaScript via #Emscripten. Have never tried it due to limited time atm. (#TomsPhD).

@stilkov Hehe, limited supply (as on YouTube w/ all the content ID removals) is a good motivation to watch stuff in foreign languages :-)

7:45 PM, Jul 14th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to stilkov

@stilkov Does she watch in en-US, tho? My kids watch Caillou in en-US, but only cause they’ve watched the de & es ones on YouTube already.

@spbail The connection is too slow :-( It’s GPRS at best, but enough to get work done, so overall still winning.

@hfmuehleisen Congratulations! Do you share a pre-print? Thanks.

@ndiakopoulos LOL, you better get a good lawyer if your black box’s URL matches /^https?:\/\/www.amazon.com\//i :-)

3:20 PM, Jul 8th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to ndiakopoulos

@ndiakopoulos While I agree it would be interesting, it’s a black box, so during a (long) observation window, their logic may have changed.

@ndiakopoulos Don’t ;-) “This license does not include any collection and use of […] prices […].” (mind the ‘amazon.com/gp/help/custom…WRv3

@ndiakopoulos Ever heard of this story written down by @mbeisen? michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358

2:51 PM, Jul 8th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to ndiakopoulos

@edsu @milesosborne It is (albeit quite hidden). Found it in the “News” section demeter.inf.ed.ac.uk/cross/docs/New…

@jaffathecake @mathias +1. The most productive way to get this in browsers seems feature requests, not fighting the symptoms w/ polyfills…

11:58 AM, Jul 8th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to jaffathecake

@jaffathecake Seems like the wrong approach to add a missed feature. Also cf. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web… (“Why can’t I use […]”). CC@mathiasas

@protonet Yet another event summary of the #Protonet launch event, it gets meta :-) twitpic.com/d0t83n

@protonet Some impressions from your #Protonet launch event via #TomsPhD. Thanks for the invitation. twitpic.com/d0t777

@hfmuehleisen youtube.com/watch?v=a3jdHt… Prefix all article titles like en:Queen. You can do that already, no matter if you have all langs now.

5:19 PM, Jul 4th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to hfmuehleisen

@hfmuehleisen It’s en.wikipedia only, right? I might use it in #Wikipedia Live Monitor to show spark lines, but then I’d need moar langs ;-)

@hfmuehleisen Wow! Is the API public? wikistats.ins.cwi.nl/export.php?&pa…. Request: add entity type for disambiguation. Rename x/y to timestamp/pageViews

4:25 PM, Jul 4th, 2013 via Echofon in reply to hfmuehleisen

@schirra If you don’t mind, I wouldn’t mind to see both ;-) If you don’t want to share things publicly, just DM me (followed you). Thanks!

5:50 PM, Jul 2nd, 2013 via Echofon in reply to schirra

@schirra Will you share your slides? If not, how could I learn more? Thanks!

5:45 PM, Jul 2nd, 2013 via Echofon in reply to schirra

@rtroncy Archive rather than summary. Cf. eventifier.co “Smarter way to archive ALL your event photos, videos, slides, tweets […]”
