Not a very convincing article. Some girl tried to be helpful, a guy tried to start a conversation because he probably thought she was cute, and she experienced a bunch of "micro-aggressions" that she doesn't want to bore us with the details of.
Seems pretty useful to me. If I see "new Object()", I know the code was written by someone who doesn't know JS very well, so I should look more carefully for bugs.
Deceptive headline. The stewards have virtually zero impact on English Wikipedia. They mainly help with administering the tiny foreign language projects that don't have a big enough community to run themselves, like Cornish Wikiquote.
"To log in, just enter your email address below and click the link that we send you. To log in again, you can save the link and use it directly (you don't have to request a new one)."
In what world is that more usable than "Click here to login with Google / Yahoo"?
That depends on the OP's implementation. Google, for instance, will return two different identifiers when the same user logs in to two different sites.
Of course, in reality, both sites will request your email address, so they can figure it out anyway.
So instead of going home at a reasonable hour to eat dinner with my actual family, I'm supposed to stay at work and listen to a Happiness Manager talk about sustainable meat? No thanks.
