It's not really crazy, it comes down to what data you have from upstream. It's not like you are swiping a card and have access to the magstripe data. With AVS it's only Amex that bothers with the cardholder's name.

Then maybe jack of some trades, master of a handful or in the process of mastering a handful? If you take front and back end development as an example, you have many different ways to go about things on both sides. However, in terms of simply building software you can probably limit your focus for either side and deliver effective solutions. After all, the end user usually just cares about accomplishing what they need to, right?

This is also what I use on a daily basis. One case where it falls through is where you are trying to capture a screenshot for something that has a certain UI state, like a mouseover. For those cases you can have PrintScreen set to capture your desktop and save it to a file. In OpenBox you would set up a key binding for Print that executes: import -window root filename.png

That should be a good thing, understanding what you are about to fix should be most important. I don't think rushed fixes pan out too well in the real world.

Gmail API 12 years ago

It seems like it would take a really big, promoted initiative with major players behind it to make a shift from IMAP, but it's good to know that other people have thought about it (your comment and its siblings).

It would be sweet if email, in general, was just a nice RESTful API.

This. My experience has been that Linode is very transparent about status messages, and I'd even go so far as to say the most transparent I've seen. Usually if an external service reports a timeout to me and I visit the status page there is often an investigation notice posted regarding network latency.

What does the language have to do with framework setup? You can have horrible performance with any bloated framework setup. Trim the fat.

It would be nice to have it where after scrolling up it can disappear after a certain amount of time. Very useful for scrolling back up to re-read something, versus scrolling up for navigational elements.

I've always wondered about this myself as I'm not familiar with dispute resolution for something like this. However, it seems like part of the resolution if an establishment has cameras it seems like they can pull up the frames for the time displayed on the receipt, and present that as evidence that you signed (scribbling shouldn't matter). If it wasn't you in the video then it could be fraud or a friend/relative using your card.

I've only seen investigations for online orders, digital purchases, etc. and not for a restaurant-type setting so it would be interesting to know if video can be used.

Exactly they both have scenarios that they work very well for just like you have with the server-side SQL RDBMS and the NoSQL ones. IndexedDB is fine for simpler apps or apps where there isn't a real need for joining, grouping and ordering the records in a very flexible way.

Web SQL is definitely dead in native Chrome apps. It was never born actually given IndexedDB was the only solution that was pushed.

Or just

ssh -D localport -fN user@vps

Then for chrome/chromium:

chromium --proxy-server="socks5:localhost:localport"

If you need multiple instances running different proxy connections use different data directories like:

chromium --user-data-dir="other-dir" --proxy-server="socks5:localhost:localport"

Edit: sshuttle covers more than port forwarding but the article was geared at browsing the web through a vps hence my comment.

As for re-issuing certs Namecheap is sucking in that department last night and today (it could be upstream with RapidSSL and PositiveSSL). GoDaddy seems to be speedy even though it looks like the notification emails are not being sent. Fun times :).

A basic filtering mechanism should be provided in addition to managesieve. The most common use would be to filter spam. It seems like roundcube is too sieve-oriented.
