   Nice. I built https://utils.foo last week. Client side only + ads free. Idea is to keep adding more utils to it, but keep it client side only.

    Yep If you're going to do a single request or a few requests in isolation, curl is the way to do. If you wanna do a full fledged testing suite, might as well using a proper scripting language or a test framework. Hurl hits the spot bet

    The abstraction is provide better UX. Anyone will have to write stuff over telnet to provide chained requests, variables, assertions, etc. Once you do that, you basically get a reimplementation of hurl.

    That isn't how it will work - First charge needs a AFA and it will setup a mandate - Subsequent charges will use that mandate and work without 2FA - Cardholders need to be notified in advance of a debit and be given an option to cancel

    Thanks. This has been my approach thus far. The place where I work allows for practical applications of this (scaling systems to millions of requests per second, having no downtime operations, doing BCP/DR, etc.) 2 things on this - Lea

    Hangouts Chat is such a botched launch. It is backwards compatible with single user chat and not group chats. It effectively ensures that people cannot completely migrate to it. The overhead of keeping 2 apps and getting the same notificati

    You’ll get premium eyewear in India for $150. Though, it will take around 3-5 days to get it after your order. Good quality ones that last would be $60-80.
