| sidi | Is there somewhere a version of the Launchpad logo that allows derivative works? https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/4646 | 15:13 |
|---|---|---|
| rbasak | sidi: you can ask Canonical for permission here: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/contact-us | 17:23 |
| rbasak | I don't understand what Font Awesome really is or why they want to use logos of various projects (the last I heard about was the Docker one). But that's just me. It's not up to me. | 17:24 |
| dobey | rbasak: font awesome is the thing that web sites used to break usability by shoving icons for things into fonts, rather than loading images | 17:27 |
| dobey | aka, it's not at all awesome | 17:28 |
| rbasak | What's their reasoning? | 17:29 |
| dobey | "speed" or some such nonsense | 17:31 |
| dobey | there is no good reason for it. but twitter/github/etc… all do this | 17:31 |
| rbasak | Ah, so they're the reason some websites break because I have overridden some fonts? | 17:32 |
| rbasak | What happened to CSS image sprites? | 17:33 |
| dobey | yes | 17:34 |
| sidi | dobey, rbasak people prefer this approach because it's easier | 19:56 |
| sidi | png sprites dont look good if resized, and im not sure how easy it'd be to have a nice layer of abstraction above an svg sprite that can be resized, as well | 19:56 |
| sidi | rbasak, thanks for the contact link | 19:57 |
| cjwatson | That sounds like something that would be referring to Launchpad rather than to something else and thus my guess is that it would be OK, but I can't give permission for this; you would indeed have to contact Canonical legal. | 20:17 |
| rbasak | sidi: ah, that's a reason I hadn't thought of, thanks. | 20:41 |
| cr3 | hi folks, why does the exception guidelines say to never catch a TypeError: https://dev.launchpad.net/ExceptionGuidelines | 21:14 |
| lifeless | because they are not issued as a matter of course | 21:17 |
| lifeless | so its better to fix the bug causing it to be raised | 21:17 |
| lifeless | cr3: ^ | 21:18 |
| cr3 | lifeless: darn common sense that's not so common. makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation! | 21:20 |
| lifeless | cr3: :) | 21:32 |
