Firefox history shows only page titles and I am always glad for the "Hacker News |". Though I wouldn't mind it being shortened to "HN|". But then again, page titles are prominently picked up by google and the ilk, so I…
For a web app, what is the least painful way to achieve internationalization? What language/framework would you use if you were writing a fresh one from scratch? I had tried to convert a php web-app to handle utf8…
I did the same, except it's been a month and I am still waiting for the documents to arrive. Director registration took a week and then name verification itself took another couple of weeks. :(
Duck. Rubber duck actually... ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging )
Fair enough. I guess I will just have to learn to take HN articles on science with much much bigger grains of salt.
This got posted to slashdot and from the discussion there, it appears likely that this is not true. http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1401739&cid=...…
Oh I know and use a lot of their open source software but what has that got to do with fb connect? "FB connect" is a session management and authentication product from facebook. I find it obnoxious. It is pretty much…
Yea... That page is next to useless. Had heard of them a while ago and thought they would have more write up then that on their home page. Anyway, this is very simple to do. You first create a server that can…
Also facebook to the best of my knowledge is not an openid provider.
https://www.myopenid.com/tutorial Is that good enough?
This can be easily done using openid. Openid providers are free to authenticate you any which way including exotic means like those. Here's an implementation in private beta: http://pgpopenid.com/
Good openid providers like wordpress train their users not to expect a login page on anything a authenticating website redirects them to.
Your initial concerns are addressed by openid "personas". myopenid.com has them implemented and is free (or you could set up your own server to achieve it). https://www.myopenid.com/help#personas Your later concerns are…
OAuth and openid solve totally different problems. Openid is federated login and oauth is about authorizing access.
In fact, FB connect is pretty much the antithesis of openid. Openid is open, federated and gives user control. FB connect is closed, centralized and basically allows FB to play big brother.
In case you really want to just replicate your old workflow, look up personas and openid delegation. Together they should resolve all your problems. https://www.myopenid.com/help#personas…
I hope this helps. I think the problem with writing simple introductions to openid is that it just offers too many options and it is difficult to decide how to approach. Here is an equivalent but by no means equal…
New login. There is a new login on your profile page. That will allow you to associate an alternate openid. You can swap alternate and primary openid on the profile page and every new login overwrites your primary…

I haven't come across a scenario where openid did not work. Care to elaborate? I think of openid as the git of the login systems. Elegant in it's simplicity but comes with a minor learning curve and the benefits of…
So, to summarize, inertia. Nothing wrong with that but that just says you are a late adopter as far as this technology is concerned. My stackoverflow is not inextricably linked to anything. My identity is my own home…

This might be way out there but have you investigated what the cost of going to another country and getting treatment there would be? You already have a correct diagnosis. You sort of know what needs to be done and only…
