kylewm
snarfed said at HWC that Google Analytics has worked async for years
#
kylewm
but i don't use it personally either
#
rascul
i don't use any analytics
#
rascul
only goaccess for a few stats from logs
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: what is a real world example that will satisfy you?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: exactly what you claim
#
tantek
a site that is loading an analytics script asynchronously
#
tantek
"URLs to real world examples doing this"
#
tantek
with which provider etc.
#
ShaneHudson
I think all of the major analytics are async now, was causing too many problems without it
#
rascul
piwik.org uses piwik async
benwerd joined the channel
#
tantek
ShaneHudson: perhaps you could point to "how to" documentation for how to support "all of the major analytics" as async
#
KartikPrabhu
from 2009! :P It seems most people just copy-paste analytics code without thinking about async loading
#
tantek
sure - go ahead and add that to the wiki page - and any sites that are actually using that JS snippet
benwerd joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
is not sure how to find sites using a particulat JS snippet
#
kylewm
both sites under the Google Analytics heading set async=true
#
KartikPrabhu
ok good :)
#
KartikPrabhu
my point only was that the "waiting" problem has nothing to do with analytics and is a problem of loading huge scripts without async

KartikPrabhu
scripts/fonts/css etc...
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: no it's different problems
#
tantek
from the user perspective
#
tantek
analytics scripts = frozen / dead site
#
tantek
external fonts = blank or just horizontal lines where text should be
#
KartikPrabhu
why? how does is matter to the user if an analytics script is getting stuck or a font is not loading from the Google CDN showing a blank page
#
tantek
external CSS = brief (sometimes many seconds) 1990s styling

#
KartikPrabhu
ok what about any other JS?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: because users don't notice the plumbing problem - they notice the UX problem
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah... and it is the same whether it is an analytics script or some other script
#
tantek
name another scenario and we can come up with the user-problem that is visible
#
KartikPrabhu
the page is stuck
#
tantek
not sure why analytics scripts seem particularly bad
#
KartikPrabhu
because they load from some thirdparty CDN which might be slow at that moment and they are probably big in size (this is a guess)
snarfed joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu

#
benwerd
Oh. My. God.
#
benwerd
So here's a thing.
#
benwerd
PHP's cURL implementation sends an Expect: 100-continue header when you use it to send a POST call over a certain size.
#
benwerd
Squid, ever the diligent proxy, looks for well-formed requests, and will throw a 417 error if it gets that header but the call is malformed.
#
benwerd
cURL malforms the call (or extra behavior is required and documented, but I haven't seen anything yet).
#
benwerd
The widely accepted cure is to tell cURL to send an empty "Expect:" header.
#
benwerd
Squid also has a "ignore_expect_100 on" setting specifically for this circumstance, but it's not set by default.
#
benwerd
This is why my site hasn't been able to work with micropub apps, ever.
#
@kevinmarks
@evanatmedium @Medium you should do webmentions and fragmentions #indieweb
(twitter.com/_/status/501940232824946688)
#
KevinMarks
Wow Ben, that's very annoying
#
KartikPrabhu
benwerd: so your Squid rejects long posts from micropub apps?
#
benwerd
It did
#
benwerd
And I couldn't work out why
#
benwerd
It turns out that if the sites were written in PHP and used cURL ...
#
KartikPrabhu
that is a hard bug/issue to track down!
#
benwerd
It has caused some .. issues for me this week ;)
#
KartikPrabhu
benwerd: so it works if you try small notes but not long articles?
#
KevinMarks
That sounds like one to patch on both ends
#
benwerd
KartikPrabhu: well, the threshold is 1024 characters

#

also sort of awkward because I did tweet at him about marginalia before :P
#
benwerd
slightly mispointed the error - as well as cURL PHP being broken, Squid versions under 3.2 also don't support the Expect: 100-continue header at all.

!tell kylewm I figured out what was causing passport-indieauth to fail with your domain. When filtered for h-card only, you don't have a h-card that contains a rel=me on your homepage. The current code (that I'm replacing now) used matching of rel=me and h-card url values to correlate the site owner's h-card.

For a brand new framework, it looks pretty feature-rich! :)
#

ShaneHudson: Thanks. I've been working on it for about a month and a half. Gotten pretty far with it in a short period of time, and honestly about a third of that time was spent designing the Portfolio section and building out the image assets for it.
#

And the Portfolio section right now isn't a part of the framework, so I've really only been working on the framework itself probably 4-5 weeks of concentrated time. I made most of the progress in the first two weeks.

Interesting. Why did you choose elastic search?
#
barnabywalters
ease of installation, flexibility, ability to store data as well as index it, ease of searching, ease of queryinh
#
mko
Gotcha. I'm not very familiar with ES and haven't found a use for it yet myself, so I'm always interested in how people utilize it.
#
barnabywalters
I’ve run into a few unexpected limitations (such as the inability to easily change the parameters of an index once it’s created) but overall I’m extremely impressed
#
mko
Interesting. I've found a bug in my webmention discovery tool thanks to you, barnabywalters.
#
barnabywalters
it’s the closest thing I’ve found to the idea “dump data in, query it out in ways which is both flexible and extremely fast” datastore
#
mko
Yeah. I use a full-text redis search for mine.
#
barnabywalters
(also: geo queries and everything is super fast)
#
barnabywalters
mko: oh cool, which one is it? relative URLs or link headers? or both?
#
mko
It's not perfect, but it worked pretty much straight out the box. TJ (visionmedia) wrote it.
#
mko
I use both, but apparently, getting your page http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4Xh9i1/ doesn't return a request.headers.link object like expected.
#
mko
It looks like it's because you've concat'd both webmention and http://webmention.org into a single rel attribute.
#
barnabywalters
ah yes — the rel attribute is a whitespace-separated list, just like class
#
mko
Anyway, it's π AM here. I'm going to bed. I'll fix that tomorrow.

tommorris: tantek left you a message 1 minute ago: can you make it to IndieWebCamp UK Brighton 6-7 September? Let's see those sign-ups! http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List
#
tantek
barnabywalters: you know people in the UK in general right?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: not many who’d want to randomly go to Brighton for a web event :)
#
barnabywalters
although one of my friends in London might be interested, or know people who are…
#
tantek
barnabywalters: sure you have friends who have or want a personal site
#
tantek
s/sure/surely
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: barnabywalters: surely you have friends who have or want a personal site
#
tantek
adactio - any other clearlefties want to come by and work on their personal sites?
#
tantek
tommorris - let's see that RSVP on the wiki then!
#
barnabywalters
I’ll ping people involved in the web community where I lived (out in the middle of nowhere) and see if anyone there is interested in coming, or is going to dConstruct
#
tantek
lol at Tommorris image ;)
#
tommorris
oh, balls
#
tommorris
seems to have morphed into Aral.

barnabywalters
tantek: why have you added apprentices back in? I specifically removed that after the feedback and discussion about the percieved hierarchy
#
adactio
tantek: I should ask my Clearleftie pal Graham if he wants to come along. Ex-Clearleftie Paul Robert Lloyd might also be into it.
#
tantek
barnabywalters: oh - because otherwise it seemed unclear how to add them?
#
Loqi
adactio: tantek left you a message 3 days, 11 hours ago: Hey UK IndieWeb folks, propose an IndieWeb session for MozFest 2014 (in London 2014-10-24..26) http://2014.mozillafestival.org/propose/
#
tantek
oh yeah - definitely Paul - he was very passionate about it last time I talked with him
#
barnabywalters
tantek: if there’s only one place (Attendees) then it’s fairly obvious where to add people
#
tantek
barnabywalters: except it's not clear how to add who they're apprentices of
#
barnabywalters
tantek: it’s no clearer when they’re in a separate list
#
tantek
We could also change the headings to reflect the headers
#
tantek
"Has a personal site" "Wants a personal site"
#
tantek
I've never liked "Attendee" either - it's too classic passive conference consumer sounding
#
GWG
Wants to finish repairs to personal site
#
rascul
Wants to finish building personal site
#
tantek
there is no "finish" there is only improvement
#
rascul
it'll be finished when i die
#
rascul
i'm in no hurry to finish it
#
GWG
Ok, I would like to achieve my next milestone
#
rascul
that's a good one, i'm right there with you GWG
#
tantek
finds it easier to run a mile than achieve milestones.
#
GWG
The process never endd, I am too obsessive compulsive for that.
#
rascul
tantek but how many milestones do you find in an average one mile run?
#
rascul
has never seen a milestone

well, anyone else looking at iterating on the 2014/UK Guest List page - check it http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List
#
GWG
tantek, you going to that?
alanpearce joined the channel
#
GWG
Either way, I just started learning about transients in WordPress, so I might be rewriting code again
#
GWG
tantek, you are just everywhere
#
tantek
GWG - hope you can make it down to Cambridge! http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/Cambridge
#
GWG
tantek, up to Cambridge
#
rascul
i'm going to cambridge
#
tantek
!tell benwerd want to start gathering ideas/thoughts on IndieWebCamp DC here? http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/DC
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
GWG
I'm not sure. Jewish holidays
#
tantek
rascul awesome!
#
rascul
tantek dc as in the washington dc?
#
GWG
But I will try. Same with a DC area one
#
rascul
i'll possibly go to that one also
#
tantek
benwerd has mentioned trying to put together a DC camp in early/mid november
#
rascul
dc is closer to me than cambridge, but i hate the dc metro area so i'll have to mentally prepare myself ahead of time to deal with the place
#
tantek
but anyone with interesting in having or going to an IndieWebCamp DC is welcoime to stub out or comment on http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/DC
#
tantek
rascul - if you have venue suggestions that would be great
#
tantek
I know benwerd is looking for co-organizers - any help would be great
#
tantek
go ahead and stub out the page with concerns / opportunities
#
tantek
(no need for any structure, even just text notes braindumps are fine)
#
rascul
i might be able to add some stuff there, i'll ponder it when i go back to work in a few minutes
#
tantek
!tell barnabywalters is this better? http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List

Hi, snarfed.

hey GWG

Oh my, I observed a silo pattern I actually like. I logged in to a service using OAuth earlier. I came back to the site and I had to log in again... but it had set a cookie remembering which silo I'd previously used to log in.
manny__ joined the channel
#
tantek
tommorris: how is that any better than a service using a cookie to remember which personal URL you used to log in with Web Sign-in?
#
voxpelli
tommorris: A good way to avoid the classic "nascar" problem some perceived eg. OpenID as having
#
tantek
voxpelli: not just perceived - UIs had screenshots thereof
#
tommorris
tantek: it isn't. but alas we have some way to go to get to the point where I can sign in with tommorris.org rather than with Facebook. ;-)
#
voxpelli
tantek: one could argue whether it was the spec or the UI-tradition of spec implementations that was the real problem I guess
#
voxpelli
tantek: yeah, attempts at hiding the URL of endpoints, all attempts at hiding similar URL:s will have same problem, therefore WebFinger etc etc - the old debate :)

#
hadleybeeman
Tantek: I can come for Saturday
#
tantek
voxpelli you use your personal web address - that simple
#
Loqi
hadleybeeman: tantek left you a message 44 minutes ago: can you make it to IndieWebCamp UK Brighton 6-7 September? Let's see those sign-ups! http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List
#
tantek
voxpelli: it's less typing than your email address, and people already know how to do that
#
tantek
hadleybeeman: great! add yourself to the Guest_List and go ahead and note Saturday only in your RSVP: http://indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK/Guest_List#Has_a_personal_site
#
voxpelli
tantek: ok, I like that
#
tantek
voxpelli: if you find yourself having to hide URLs, you're using too many or too weird URLs
#
tantek
WebFinger was a solution worse than the problem
#
tantek
tommorris: feel free to add that example to the /NASCAR_problem page :)

bigbluehat
voxpelli: I'm exploring (via some nasty overloading ATM) how feasible it'd be to have HTTP client's handle email address style URLs as endpoints
#
bigbluehat
early (overloading) attempt info here: userinfo.me
#
bigbluehat
tl;dr the URI spec doesn't *require* the ": + password" bits in the `userinfo` section
#
bigbluehat
HTTP currently does
#
bigbluehat
hack in place now "overloads" the Authentication header to do "lookups"--but it could be used for OpenID-based auth...with further hacking :-P
#
bigbluehat
because browsers
#
tantek
bigbluehat: I have trouble following the proposal - perhaps you could diagram some user flows for a how user arrives at a supporting site, what a user sees (UI mockup), what they type in or do, what it sends to what server(s) etc.
#
tantek
and specifically - *diagram* rather than attempt to textually explain (which I find rarely works with login stuff)

tantek: Good diagram tools suggestion? I guess that's where much such documentation falls, not having good affordable tools to design it with
#
voxpelli
Omnigraffle is nice, but crazy expensive
#
mko
voxpelli: I was about to recommend Omnigraffle.

Realistically, the best cheap/free alternative that I've tried was Draw ( http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/draw/ ) but I haven't tried it in ages.

Is it going to be worth talking to this group about fragmentions + marginalia? http://www.w3.org/annotation/
#
tantek
KevinMarks: shepazu has indicated in #social that he's interested in building upon fragmentions and marginalia - so what that's worth, you may as well *try* to be involved in the W3C WG
#

I'll see if I can get the w3c login fixed somehow
