I am not talking about the gateways. I am talking about the identity providers. If your identity provider goes out of business, revokes your access, or any number of other things, you lose your credentials to all sites. For instance, here&#

I know that it's not necessarily tied to Gmail. My point was that now my site is dependent on their relationship to whatever they authenticated against. It might be gmail, it might be Facebook, it might be anything. If that thing eithe

I keep digging (since the site isn't breaking, yay!) but it just keeps not looking good. On the github, in the last month, a total of four people have committed code eleven times. One committed more than all the others combined. Also,

Sent some feelers out to devs I respect. Verdict is mostly negative on Persona. Seems like Mozilla is merely providing bare bones support for Persona these days, and has stopped funding it: http://identity.mozilla.com/ Furt

I'll look into Persona. It probably won't be today as I'm trying to be extra attentive to the site while I'm drumming up traffic, but it's on my list now. In theory you could build it in one sitting then share it. A

Yes, you have to log in to create a deck. You're the second person I've seen suggest being able to make decks without being logged in. There's too many potential headaches as far as cookies expiring, losing the super secret u

I can't now because it was years ago I was having problems. I'm starting to think that it was a different Lisp and not Common Lisp I was looking at, too. Too long ago to remember for sure.

So I just looked up Common Lisp string handling and none of it looks familiar. It's possible what I was trying to use before wasn't Common Lisp. It's also possible I was trying to learn from a site that was just doing a horri

That's quite interesting! I tried to learn Lisp a while back and found the string handling to be horrible, and it's such a huge part of modern development. It sounds like there's someone with a lot of skill working to fix exa

Okay, I'll get more explicit. > I think Twitter is defined by the fact that it's about broadcast. Writing on a blog with comments off is 100% broadcast with no built-in solution for conversations to form. Twitter has a (flawed)

Eh. I'm definitely a part of several communities on Twitter. It's just that they're micro-communities that are fluid in size and shape. If I'm talking business stuff I'll @shazow usually. If it's coding, usuall

Yup, and that site is showing half of the quoted amount of traffic. It also doesn't say where it gets its data, so I'm unsure...

It's not just early adopters vs late adopters. And nobody is saying to disregard all of IE, only very old versions. We're talking about dropping support for a browser that is mostly used on a thirteen year old operating system tha

Does that 20% come from your own stats or a third party? Most of the third parties look at worldwide market share. IE8 is disproportionately represented in third-world countries which you may or may not care about in your business. Best I c

In theory, I'm right in your target market. I've been considering a good way to keep my handful of users up to date with small changes that aren't big enough to be immediately visible. But I'm just not feeling it. In the

It could be a regional thing, or it's possible that I am unusual myself, but I've never thought twice about metered electricity, but that's largely because I've never been hit with anything I consider unfair like I have

I don't think it's fair to say that consumers overall like either one more than the other, it depends on what we're paying FOR. Why are consumers okay with paying a metered fee for electricity, water, and gasoline? There&#x27

Arbitration clauses may not be legal everywhere. Another shitty( ) reality is that companies love putting clauses in contracts that won't hold up in court because MANY people just assume that it must be legal and the rest of the contra

I honestly haven't had anyone needing to reset their password yet. In my particular case it's not really the end of the world if someone gets locked out, but I should probably think what I'd do in that case... Let's be r

For my own site, I have four form fields on the signup page. Username, Password x2 and an optional email. That, IMO, is actually easier than the twitter flow. With the twitter flow, I have to click to sign in, then read what permissions you

I'm likely a fuddy-duddy, but I agree with mijndert. I detest the idea of using Site A to authenticate with Site B. For only the tiniest benefit to me (I guess it's marginally faster to sign up, maybe?) and no real benefit to you,

1.7% for me. It seems to show constructive criticism as "hate," though I bet that's very hard to get perfect. I like the little time waster videos and whatnot that show when it's taking a little while to compute.

You only "need" to upgrade your deck if you want to play competitively. The vast majority of Magic players (according to Wizards' own research) play casually with no format restrictions. On top of that, Wizards supports Moder

That... makes me very sad. I remember the old ESR. Knew that I hadn't heard of him in a long time, did not know he went a bit nutty...

All of those things are logical and make sense, but are unproven. Politicians are notoriously risk adverse when it comes to those kinds of risks.

At least here in Minneapolis, a good portion of the train operates down the middle of public streets. It follows red lights and has to deal with people pulling into intersections waiting on a turn signal, stupid pedestrians, etc. Even WITH

Yes, they make profit. No, they aren't somehow evil, vindictive, or manipulative while doing so. This line of conversation is not at all productive. You're convinced that they're evil incarnate and will switch from one ill-in

You said that they release more and more "to obsolete the old." My point is that was not their goal. Their goal was always to have spells and creatures roughly balanced. Their original thinking was that creatures were a repeatable

Hmm, my numbers looked a lot better than expected. Flaws: My site makes no money and doesn't attempt to. Why do I have to put in transaction amounts? Many of the images are not loading. High load to blame? Under Important Insights >
