Ahem ... Please advice people to use HTML5, as you obviously don't understand HTML4 ... ;-)

Il n'y a jamais eu d'HTML4, seulement HTML 4. Mais côté HTML-LS ils ont du mal avec la barre espace visiblement.

But, to answer Russel's question, this behaviour is not correct, as no Web browser behave that way. Hence, HTML5 has changed the rules to be more in line with how browsers actually act: In the HTML serialization of HTMl5, the "</div>" *is* permitted. (In the XML serialization - also known as XHTML - it remains forbidden.)

La sérialisation XML de HTML 5 n'a strictement rien à voir avec XHTML. A se demander si c'est de l'incompréhension ou de la simple désinformation.

Further more, if Russel simply just replaces the XHTML doctype with the HTML5 doctype, the file will validate as is, with the xmlns namespace >and everything. (The xmlns namespace validates only because HTML5' generous permission - and not because it plays any role.)

Si un jour vous vous demandez comment dire "blatant disregard" poliment en anglais, vous avez désormais la réponse : "generous permission". Et note, ce super conseil de faire sauter le DOCTYPE est donné à quelqu'un qui mentionnait explicitement vouloir utiliser XHTML : "HTML5, rien à battre de ce que tu veux, t'en boufferas quand même".

Big Macs vs. The Naked Chef - Joel on Software

by night.kame

The trouble is that the "training" doesn't really produce consistent results, so Youthful Programmer starts creating rules and procedures that are meant to make more consistent results. Over the years, the rule book grows and grows. Soon it's a six-volume manual called The Methodology.

After a few dozen years, Youthful Programmer is now a Huge Incompetent IT Consultant with a capital-M-methodology and a lot of people who blindly obey the Methodology, even when it doesn't seem to be working, because they have no bloody idea whatsoever what else to do, and they're not really talented programmers -- they're just well-meaning Poli Sci majors who attended the six-week course.

Joel Spolsky écrivait cela il y a plus de dix ans. Aujourd'hui, les méthodologies ne sont plus sur la programmation. De la même manière qu'UML2 est passé au niveau meta-meta, les Méthodologies sont désormais à propos des méthodologies. Le pire étant que les déçu de l'Agile qui s'est Méthodologisée sont aussi en train de reconstruire une nouvelle méthodologie, para-Agile.

Anne van Kesteren - Google+

by karlcow

I think with the WHATWG improvement just happens. More as a byproduct of the larger goal and not really getting in the way of anybody. At the W3C there is too much bureaucracy for "just happens" and so instead of working on what you want to be working on, you have to argue about rules.

complete and utterly bullshit from Anne. The WHATWG is very successful at **removing people who are into the way**. Sometimes, I wonder if whatwg live in a 1000 mirrors room where they see only themselves.

Astronaut Video/Magazine

by gregg
Astronaut offers a place for independent filmmakers to present their documentaries and other projects that were achieved in their spare time often with minimal technical support or outside help. Up and coming music acts and photographers are profiled, artists and fashion designers are shown in their studios and people who are creating new disciplines are introduced. The user has a front row seat for all of this and gets to know these protagonists on an almost personal level. The use of film gives the viewer a deeper level of insight. Astronaut lives from amazing stories about people who break rules and create new realms far removed from the commercial world. Astronaut is a platform for individualists, for the courageous, for the unflinching and for daydreamers. Prepare for ignition

5 Kumi Tachi | Takemusu Aikido South Africa | Aikido South Africa

by Takwann
The kumi-tachi (kumi: to unite, group; tachi: sword) refers to advanced partner practice with the sword, encompassing 5 basic forms plus variations. The kumi exercises and their variations are the respective beginnings and the in-depth study of the martial applications of the basic training exercises. Associated with these exercises are strict rules of engagement based upon traditional fighting methods developed over centuries of use and refinement in a feudal society, and because they have a great practical basis they therefore dictate many of the reasons behind the movements. There is a great collection of variations that stem from these kihon (basics), due to the variables of combat, and the creativity of instructors. Once these exercises are properly learnt through slow, controlled and relaxed training, the movements can be performed more quickly and strongly, with the timing and flow varied to enable the student to experience a wide variety of possibilities in attack and defence.

Club AJAX | Presentation: The Fight Over HTML5

by karlcow
a bit tired of the misleading information

The slides could be improved by mentioning a few things more.

slide 19 – W3C didn’t pay for the logo work.

slide 21 – The WHATWG announces that they rename their document as HTML Living Standard. The snapshot which is published on W3C Web site under *patent policy* will be html5

slide 39 – The W3C has always said it was out for community review.

slide 56 – Things are cut from specs when there are not at least a double implementations of each features (Candidate Recommendation). It is the *normal* process. Nothing new. No aggressive timeline.

slide 69 – W3C here is W3C members. It illustrates a disagreement in between W3C members.

slide 82 – Microsoft is not joining the WHATWG because of the lack of patent policy. Nokia is not there, Access (NetFront) is not there, etc.

slide 93 – What are secret rules? The W3C Process is public, most of the WGs have their work in public. Specs are published in public.

slide 94 – Many working groups are open to public participation without fees. Example: HTMLWG.

slide 95 – False. There is a majority of Not For Profit and Affiliate companies.

slide 96 – False. By W3C Process, every member has one voice. W3C is a community of members. The listen is a bit strange.

slide

slide 98 – W3C members decided to move away from HTML brokeness and tried to move a cleaner markup leveraging on XML. We know it didn’t work and retrospectively it was a mistake.

slide 99 – False. The W3C moved from RAND (like IETF for example) to RF (Royalty Free) to give a safer environment for developers.

slide 102 – W3C said: “Be careful if you use the technology in production. There is no full interoperability yet”.

slide 107 – WHATWG people are exactly the same people that are working inside W3C Membership. Part of the work btw is done by the W3C webapps WG by the exact same people.

slide 125 – is spot on! ;) unfortunately.

[whatwg] clear naming for WHAT work

by karlcow, 2 comments

I suggested privately that you call this effort HTML 5. I

still think this is a good idea. I notice that your DOCTYPE includes

"HTML5".

[Aside: I don't particularly *like* the HTML 5 name, but I think

it is clearer than HTML 4 + WebForms + processing rules +

behaviour + XML support sort-of + other stuff]

Welcome to nlproject — nlproject v1.0dev documentation

by karlcow

nlproject is a set of software facilities that provide development environments for logic programming in Python. At its core is nl, a bare bones logic system, comprising the basic building blocks for sentences and rules, and an in-memory knowledge base to hold these sentences and rules. On top of it is nlserv, that provides persistence for nl‘s knowledge bases and an XML-RPC interface to them.

Why the EU needs new personal data protection rules

by karlcow (via)

I want to introduce the "right to be forgotten". Social network sites are a great way to stay in touch with friends and share information. But if people no longer want to use a service, they should have no problem wiping out their profiles. The right to be forgotten is particularly relevant to personal data that is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. This right should also apply when a storage period, which the user agreed to, has expired.

HTML5 ★ BOILERPLATE A ROCK-SOLID DEFAULT FOR HTML5 AWESOME.

by sbrothier & 13 others
HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site. After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain Ajax and Flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on. Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.

Budo Blog: Etiquette

by Takwann
In feudal Japan, a society that fully understood the realities of violence, developed reigei (not Bob Marley) which roughly translates as etiquette art. In a time and place where accidently bumping into someone (touching saya) could mean a fight to the death you better understand the rules.

Rethinking Wikipedia contributions rates | eaves.ca

by karlcow

karl dubost 0 minutos atrás I guess there are other things which might influence than only the raw number of participations. The social dynamic of Wikipedia system has evolved. The rules (like any communities) have strengthened and are more rigid than what they were in the past. It is basically more and more painful to create content for Wikipedia. As an occasional editor, I'm less and less inclined to make the effort to contribute because the article might go quickly under "Articles for Deletion" hammer.

Interesting thing to look at:

1. Timeline of Articles for Deletion (raw number and % of how many new articles)

2. Deletion compared to new contributors (stable, going down, going up)

3. Timeline should also plot the milestones of new editing rules.

4. The rate of new articles creation compared to the number of contributors.

These could drive to new processes, maybe there is a need for a better drafting tool that will help an article to reach a stage of maturity to be part of Wikipedia, and this will create another set of behaviours ;) Not a closed system.
