What are the things Webkit has "proposed" by releasing builds that you don't think should be part of the web platform?

And, what are the things Webkit has built that were "overridden" by the standards process? Where did Webkit actually get things wrong?

Just what comes to your mind.
I really do enjoy HN's design. But the fact that read stories become grayed out hurts in one circumstance: when you've started participating in a discussion on that thread. It would be nice (though admittedly it would break caching) if at least the 'comments' link changed color or were 'called-out' for the threads in which you have commented.
From what I recall, sunchild is an attorney too. Your reference doesn't back up what you say; it's not restricted to material sold commercially. Merely for "purposes of commercial advantage" is sufficient.

Quoting from here: http://www.justice.gov/usao/eousa/foia_reading_room/usam/tit...

"Emphasis should be placed on the word "purpose," because it is not necessary to prove that any profit was realized. See United States v. Taxe, 380 F. Supp. 1010, 1018 (C.D.Cal. 1974), aff'd, 540 F.2d 961 (9th Cir. 1976), cert. denied, 429 U.S. 1040 (1977). The drafting committee's purpose in retaining this requirement has been to exclude from criminal liability those individuals who willfully infringe copyrights solely for their own personal use. H.R. Rep. No. 997, 102 Cong., 2d Sess. 5 (1992). Evidence of discrete monetary transactions (i.e., the selling of infringing goods for a particular price) provides the clearest evidence of financial gain, but such direct evidence should not be a prerequisite to prosecution. Such a stringent requirement would ignore the plain wording of the statute, which requires only the showing of commercial or financial purpose."
One nice thing that came about with the KIN (yes as in Microsoft) was the KIN studio. It had sort of a timeline thing going with all of the pictures and video you uploaded grouped by days. A lot of people complained it had no calendar but I thought it would have been kind of cool to put the calendar functionality with the studio.

Well, HTML5 can't reliably do audio yet. :) But nothing in this animation looks hard at all to recreate in JavaScript / HTML5. The most annoying bit would be to convert the art pieces (which I assume are swf vector art) to a format that you can render with HTML5. In Canvas, png sucks for magnification and I'm not aware of any functional swf exporter + vector canvas renderer library. If you go the DOM route with transforms, SVG may do the trick and there should be vector tools that can import swf and export SVG.

In summary, HTML5 can definitely do it, but for now it's much easier in Flash.
I am a web developer and I very much want it. I don't want Javascript to be the only game in town for front end programming.

But this is beside the point: Eich never asked if web developers want it or not.
US Movies are often released outside of the US to see how well they go, so that an appropriate marketing spend can be done. Various small countries, and small towns will go first. Like New Zealand.

If the movie does ok, then that is more evidence for the investors to ok the massive marketing spends. But if their trial marketing fails (and their 10 different versions of it), then the movie will be released changed or released in one of the spare slots; the slots that they need to fill in the movie theatres to keep their quadmopoly(if they don't take up the screens with some crappy movie then some independent might get a shot at a screening instead).
The argument in that article is adequately summed up by Dustin Curtis. The problem with vendor extensions is that when one browser ends up dominant, the others eventually end up having to implement that browser's extensions.

What I don't get is how this makes that browser a "monopoly". The only thing Webkit won was the string "-webkit" in the CSS property. It's the monopoly that gives the monopoly to Webkit. Not CSS vendor prefixes. Webkit has a virtual monopoly among mobile browsers.
You really shouldn't be using a XOR linked list anyway. It has a lot of disadvantages and none of them weigh up to the only advantage of a lower memory footprint per list item.
A few hours ago at JQuery UK someone asked Paul Irish what he thought of Dart. Then the whole room laughed. PI mentioned 'its complicated' and then that 'Dart has a place' and then everyone laughed again.

So a knee jerk unintelligent response by some random group of Javascript programmers, given without context, is supposed to mean something?
That's pretty hypercritical. Personally, I'd like HN to have more reasonable typography like a fixed width column for comments—somewhere in between Inbound and HN as it exists currently.

It's also not functionally awful. My wife, an interior designer, has often commented that she doesn't know how I can stand to read comments from this site because of how garish the colors and how poor the type is. We've had time to adapt to the use of HN because the content is great and the software has been evolved to function well.

Inbound also has an entirely different target market, one that is, by definition, more superficial and shallow in regard to design. Nothing that looked like HN would get traction in the marketing community, at least from the people I know.
Colt has not been updated for eight years, yet the article refers to it in the present tense. Why? Because the article's section on Colt is lifted straight from Colt's website.

This appears to be blogspam.
* We created something * We own what we created * Someone is stealing it

The content industry derives both the 2nd and 3rd part of that argument from the law. They do not own something just because they say so. Nor is copying the equivalent of stealing just because they say so. They are basing their moral arguments purely on the law, which defines ownership and theft.

So when they tell the public, "It's stealing!", that's nothing but marketing. When the chips are down and they're standing in court, they argue based on legal precedent. I don't think we can argue against them on any other grounds.

I've often wondered how a garbage collector can scan the entire memory in a reasonable time. The article doesn't explain that particular operation. With a quick look at the source code I couldn't figure it out either.

Can anyone enlighten me? Is it only the stack that is checked because that seems possible in a reasonable time.

Ah yes. The changes that occur after they've grown the user base by the desired amount. :)
Everyone hates timesheets and yet every timesheet app seems to be about more ways to manually enter time. We decided to change that.

We've always prided ourselves on better quality timesheets. Some of us would keep a journal during the day, others review emails, commits, tickets at the end. No matter what it sucked and was always a bit like fictional archeology. It sounds right but the bones might have been re-arranged a bit and something is always missing.

Commit logs, or task lists are only a small part of the story. Lots of work gets lost in meetings, emails, phone calls and the like. Real work happens across multiple dimensions (no matter where ya go, there y'are) and it's a pain to go find it at the end of the day (or week). The more clients you have the worse this is.

We built http://www.crisply.com to aggregate everything we do into a journal automatically organized by project. We also roll up time when we can. The results are a more accurate (rather than precise) timesheet with rich supporting evidence. You also get great analytics at the time and activity level. Crisply integrates with almost any system. Mention HN if you signup and I'll make sure you get in.
assuming there's code involved, you may be able to jog your memory some simply by reviewing the commit logs and commits themselves.

It's a hard balance to find - documenting what you're doing with enough detail to help justify your expenses, while at the same time not losing the flow of the moment to actually get stuff done. I can often lose a couple hours of time working on an item - tracking down bugs in other peoples' code is really time consuming, and I'd rather get it right than get it logged, to coin a phrase.
From the Past to the Future (of Epic Games)
The measure (line-length) on HN comments is pretty damn bad, I agree. I'm purely comparing the homepages here.

And I do agree that HN could definitely improve. HN isn't perfect, nor is it beautiful. I think it functions extremely well, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.
First of all, I don't want to come off as argumentative. I think we agree on the fundamentals: Implementation should come before standardization. Vendors should feel free to experiment. The W3C should focus more on quickly standardizing things that are already working in the field.

Today, experimental and prefixed features used in the wild are creating real problems for interoperability and competition. But I don't think there's a villain here, and I'm not blaming WebKit. Both the browser vendors and the W3C are using processes that were designed to certain solve problems. Now those processes are creating new problems and might need to change in response.

But, to answer your direct question (although I think this is getting on a tangent from the original post):

> "What are the things Webkit has "proposed" by releasing builds that you don't think should be part of the web platform?"

Dart is an example of something that Google has proposed (not "WebKit" as a group) that I and many others - even others like Oliver Hunt within the WebKit community - do not think benefits the web platform. Some people would put Web SQL Database in this category; I don't have an informed opinion about that one. (Though I do know it's the reasons some versions of Gmail wouldn't even load in mobile Firefox.)

> "Where did Webkit actually get things wrong?"

Apple's "meta viewport" tag is something that they released in Safari and evangelized to developers without specifying it or getting community feedback. I had the pleasure of reverse-engineering it for Gecko. Among other things, it's not even implemented in a layer where it makes sense. (It should be part of style, not markup.) Apple never proposed it as a standard; other people eventually did and are trying to fix some of the problems. Unfortunately, the basic design is locked in by legacy content (and has been since soon after Apple shipped this feature in the first release of mobile Safari).

But frankly, I don't care so much whether they get things "right" or "wrong." As bad as meta-viewport is, at least Firefox and Opera and Android and IE can implement support for it without controversy, and be compatible with sites that use it. The way that prefixed CSS properties are (a) released to market by browser vendors, (b) evangelized to web developers, and (c) deployed on production web sites is creating a situation where new browsers are either locked out of existing sites or have to implement each others' prefixes. This is not a stable equilibrium.

Well despite being in Canada and it being in the -20's, my computer still found a way to overheat. Going to have to get a new heatsink eventually.
Happy that the developer got it on the app store. There was some question about how sandboxing would affect it as a terminal app.

It's a pretty fun app, especially when running fullscreen on Lion. Very customizable. You get your money's worth.
It doesn't prevent a technology like ActiveX from coming to them, it prevents the CONSEQUENCES of such a technology had when it was in IE.

I also think you guys should re-think the categorization (I'm finding it incredibly distracting). If you remove the category name and give the link title more width (so that it's not truncated in many cases) - the title can speak for itself regarding the nature of the link.
You are incorrectly interpreting what I've written if you think it has been belligerent. I'm not an expert and have not claimed to be an expert. I do have extensive experience with developmental learners of mathematics. Think adults who are innumerate.

I did preface my response to you with, "not in my experience". It is not a valid conclusion to say that my remarks have been belittling. Based on what you wrote above it looks like my guess that you haven't had much experience with developmental learners appears to be correct. I stated my experience was different than yours. What is there to be upset about?

Are brute force attacks always sequential?
don't see why it can't be. For example, going back 10 years the W3C could have said we're standardising a series of layout definition attributes (or multiple backgrounds, or colour fades, or bordering styles, or animation modes or whatever) and then waited for those to be implemented by the browsers. I don't see why the standards bodies can't anticipate a need that hasn't yet been coded for and implement a preliminary standard definition for browser writers to use.

Well, people who have worked with standards bodies know why it can't be. Because of the natures of the processes involved there and the interests that have to be balanced.

The fact that something is at all possible (= no laws in the universe prevent it from being so) don't mean it has a high enough probability. Yeah, a committee could work faster and flexibly. Experience has shown us that historically, they never do.
Simplifying Chrome Extension Development with Queuebert

I guess sincerely expressing yourself is awful these days. Why does everything have to be so sugar-coated? I'd rather hear an authentic opinion from someone who means it than the robotic PR speak we here these days.
Who said anything about Paul Irish?

The knee jerk reaction I was referring to was the "the whole room" of js guys that "laughed".
It wasn't "any member having a veto over doing anything". Don't attack a straw man. It was every other browser manufacturer unanimously saying Dart is a bad idea, and specifically outlining reasons for doing so. The only possible position you could have in support of Google here is that Google should be able to push whatever it wants, on account of Chrome being open source. In other words, monopolistic behavior is fine as long as it's open source. I don't agree with that.

Also "Works best in Chrome" is hardly a self-inflicted wound. With the might of Google, that's actually a recipe for browser monopoly. This is the reason why Google pushed ahead with Dart despite the opposition.
FWIW, @e31z.P8 is considered 'weak', which most people would consider a pretty hard password.
I completely disagree with the above comment, but why is it being downvoted? Down voting people because they have a differing opinion just makes HN an echo chamber. Downvote trolls and irrelevant comments, not stuff that promotes reflection and discussion.

That being said, damoncali, I never thought the blog was that great compared to the book

The professor in question is a law professor, specifically he deals with securities law.

Nitpicky detail are what that area of law is all about! A newly minted securities lawyer will spend his first few years proofing corporate filings (e.g. an offering document) for the tiniest of mistakes, some of which could cost the client millions of dollars if not found.

While it might not be the greatest tactic for professors in general, it is a great idea for this particular professor.
Not necessarily, though it depends on the complexity you want to throw at the problem.

If you have known (and proven) legitimate traffic, give it a high QoS.

For never-been-seen IPs, provide a limited initial rate, with training based on experience.

Use tools such as the ASN Routeviews project to identify contiguous blocks of IP space (or any other source of BGP routing data, but the RV data are queryable via DNS and downloadable as zonefiles).

ID bad actors and either block or severely limit them.

Train up or down other traffic as appropriate.

This leaves you tracking large amounts of IP space. Doable in IPv4, somewhat more difficult under IPv6, though you're still probably going to be able to do something reasonable.

I'd like to see more of this pushed into the routing/networking layer, automatically, based on application-layer-based feedback. Maybe someday.
This means I'm not going to get better at math, doesn't it?
Agree. That impulse to disregard & denigrate those who make mistakes is strong, and I've made that mistake often. Looking back I see that copping that attitude is a major cop-out. It's so easy. Being nice & teaching where you can - that takes real balls & brains.
WebKit CSS gradient syntax was pretty explicitly overridden by the standards process in favor of a better one. Thankfully, WebKit changed its syntax to match.

Note that in a world where the Web was defined as "whatever WebKit renders", which lots of HN readers seem to be in favor of these days, we would of course be stuck with the old gradient syntax forever.

Brutal.. Maybe you could do some bouldering just for that taste
Does anyone else find it super annoying with sites tell you what to use as your password? "You have to use a capital letter, at least 3 numbers, a symbol, it has to be 12 characters long, and it can't be one that you've used before." This type of attitudes leads to people writing down their passwords on paper and then getting hacked when someone finds it. As this password shows, not all passwords need to have all those things in order to be secure.
"We" means the collective consciousness/memory, not any single person. As long as some number of members remembers the event, Anonymous doesn't forget, even if those members change with time.

Is there a height at which "bouldering" becomes "rock climbing"? It's probably defined in the insurance contract somewhere.
Hm. It tells me "Worst Password Ever!" is a "Best" password. Better start using that one!
Built this library, based on what I've learned so far building out the Attachments.me Chrome Extension in Gmail.
Different strokes, I suppose. To be clear, I think there is lots of good info in the book - I just think it is better presented and expanded upon elsewhere, including his own blog, the many lean startup themed sites/books, and other places. In my view, the book reads like a big-company consulting manual, and does not get to the point very quickly or well. An important work, but not a must-read any more.

Will I buy his new book? Probably.
The spec was not released alongside the implementation of animations and transforms. It was released much later.
I'd just like Hacker News to have a password-looker-upper. Would that be so very hard to provide. Please, PG?
I am not entirely familiar with modern day algorithms behind brut force attacks, but the math I described above is the theory behind them. I would imagine that it would have to be in some kind of ordered sequence so that you didn't miss any possibility and that your brut force time would average out (assuming infinite number of tries over rendom selection of passwords). It is, however, reasonable to assume that once the attack got part way though a word, that it would then try most common words etc. But assuming a random compilation of characters, sequential would be the most efficient over many number of tries.

Note: the above does not apply to brut force attacks that try most common passwords and other techniques that include human element. It's just math behind the algorithm.

Note that, to get the web out of the IE-domininant era, it was first necessary for Firefox to implement IE extensions like document.all and innerHTML.

Having a competing browser is useless if it won't work with the content that people want to use.

Actually tried the bouldering angle. The underwriter had even less experience with bouldering than with rock climbing. When I explained it -- no ropes, no gear, just a crash pad -- the underwriter freaked and wouldn't consider insurance even at a higher premin!
Seriously. If "complex algorithms like sorting" is a problem for you, you are not a "great" programmer. If you can't implement a bubble sort in your sleep, you're missing something very fundamental. And if you think that sorting belongs on the same level of algorithmic complexity as compression and cryptography, you're in even more trouble.
Very interesting, its kind of ironic that you probably started working for yourself so you could enjoy more freedom only to have "the man" catch up with you.

Rather unfortunate, luckily i don't rock climb but i'm sure we all run into these things!
