C.> "They were so aggressive in their text!"< "Why, what'd they do?"> "They used an ellipsis!"Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe.

James EdwardsIn Safari, tabbing to a non-editable element destroys the current selection range.That's bad enough, but get this -- the reset has *already happened* when the `focus` event fires, so we can't snapshot the data because it's already lost. And yet the resulting `selectionchange` event **hasn't** fired yet, so we can't use that event to filter-out the change.Are you fucking kidding me??<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#javascript</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/selection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selection</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/caret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caret</a>

James EdwardsWriting <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#javascript</a> to handle <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/caret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caret</a> browsing is interesting.Since `keydown` only fires for targets that can be `activeElement`, the event target from caret navigating plain text is always <body>.However you can identify which element contains the caret, by evaluating the range data, which you can also do from `selectionchange` events.And get this -- Safari still fires those events, even though it doesn't support caret browsing ... because it actually does, it just doesn't show the caret!

Lulu Powerful<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/@sharoz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sharoz</a> I do have concerns about how easy it is to produce bad analyses with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a>.But I feel similarly about <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rstats</a> packages like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/caret" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#caret</a> - you don't need to know what a classifier is, in order to train one.This might be controversial, but we need to ask whether making it so easy is a good thing; and whether there is an argument to be made for building-in a small degree of difficulty.Far from gatekeeping, it would be a measure against poor analyses that might cause actual harm.
