@mahemoff Looking forward to it. Dug out a polyfill (github.com/polymer/HTMLIm…) in a conversation w/ @stilkov today: twitter.com/tomayac/status….
googleresearch Google releases data consisting of ~800 million documents annotated with ~11 billion references to Freebase entities goo.gl/JoVBC
@stilkov Client- or server-side? For the concrete problem, there’re solutions on both sides, w/ pros & cons (think indexing, non-JS env.,…).
@stilkov Oh! “Compiling” HTML sends students the wrong signal IMHO. I’d prefer a pre-built HTML template w/ the polyfill (& comment on why).
@stilkov Wait, does that mean your students have to compile their HTML after each iteration? Or is the conversion happening on-the-fly?
@stilkov Not aware of any, but should be simple enough to create one :-)
#ICME2013 morning keynote day 2: M. Gross from @Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland: graphics.ethz.ch/~grossm/ #ICME13 twitpic.com/d364op
@stilkov If it’s purely for teaching purposes, why don’t you work w/ a polyfill? github.com/polymer/HTMLIm…
@stilkov Fair enough, but you’ve a best practice not implemented yet dilemma. The deprecated practice had its justified use cases..#HTML40101
Muting yet another Twitter client (in @echofon): “Twitter for Glass”. #throughglass be gone. For the record, fascinated by @GoogleGlass.
@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).
@stilkov Then I fear iframe is your technology of choice (if you want to keep it simple and entry-level friendly).
@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…

@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 :-)
@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.

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

jaffathecake The DOM4 spec has NodeList inheriting Array methods, unfortunately there are backwards compat issues. Star this: code.google.com/p/chromium/iss…
@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…
@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
