If you have trouble cloning/pushing on git@github.com right now, you could use these config[1] for ~/.ssh/config

    Host github.com
      Hostname ssh.github.com
      Port 443

Cloning and pushing to github now works in my machine.

Wow! Huge thanks, this actually works (for those of you still having trouble)

You could steal ideas from Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and several other Distro for giving codename to their release.

For example, in Debian, they take a character name in Toy Story for their codename. In Ubuntu, they take an animal name in alphabetical order.

Programming: Learn how to program.

Started to learning Haskell few weeks ago. Love to see it. BTW, nice site theme.

    TouchDevelop Wep App Preview does not work with Opera.
    Please use Internet Explorer 10, Chrome or Firefox.

Why?

Because developing on that many web standards when the other three have such a huge market share is unnecessarily onerous.

Not supporting one browser or another is rarely if ever a stand against that browser, it's just a decision based on living in reality. I've used and liked Opera in the past, but I've never once tested so much as a web page in Opera since I stopped using it as my primary browser.

There's always a post like this. Who gives a shit about Opera at this point? It's hard enough making a complex web app work on IE, Chrome and Firefox as it is.

Perhaps more pertinently, then http://imgur.com/pUlXu

When they take away opera they will take away firefox, then they will take away the next one. One day we will all be using chrome.

I think they should warn about compatibility but allow us to proceed anyways. Often when I spoof opera to identify as firefox everything works fine. The `built only for this browser` scheme treats the browser as the platform and not the internet as the platform. I understand the practical motivation for perspective, having spent many hours making sure my design worked in IE and Firefox, but I dream of a world where every-browser will render things identically.

Ultimately, its called a webpage not a chromepage.

Not buying this slippery slope argument at all. Nobody has ever cared about opera. Wake me up when people stop supporting Firefox.

Well, I am an Opera user too, and I was happy to see that they did not say use a modern browser like Google tends to do.

So, in the future, what alternatives that would replace password?

How about SSH-keygen? That is, the same with committing to GitHub and logging in to SSH via putty with pageant?

I'm sure there are quite a bit of downsides to this method and it will resort to even logging in with some sort of "password."

I like private keys instead of passwords in theory, but in practice, I'm scared that I'll misplace the private key file, rendering all of my data lost forever. Private keys can also be lost (stolen laptop?) or misplaced. Or what if you're traveling and your laptop gets busted, how do you safely and quickly transfer a private key from your home storage to where you are? I'm not a crypto-expert, maybe these questions all have easy answers--but they're not obvious, at least.

Memorable passwords are in your brain for the long-term, and can't be lost or stolen. (Well, aside from improbables like torture.)

A password database on a service where you don't lose it ?

2 passwords. Unbreakable.
