care to put it on github? I'd love to give it a try (though I don't have too many problems focusing myself. I'm in the middle of a workday, just doing some..shit, HN).
Yes. Charles is a perfectly valid go-to solution for all problems solved by proxy, too. But Proxy aims to be more user friendly – Charles GUI is a bit messy and outdated.
The core of Proxy are it's filters and modifiers. Filters give you the ability to select specific requests/response pairs from the list of all of them, and modifiers make it possible to change the behavior and data a request/response pair carries. Modifiers are implemented in only a few lines and the idea was that they could be done in almost any language (read: ruby and other lightweight stuff), so the low-memory footprint along with simple, extensible filters would make a powerful developer tool – or the most configurable ad blocker that there is.
I've written a HTTP Proxy for Mac. nothing special so far, but it's intented to be used for debugging &&/|| development. It features a quite flexibel filter/modifier architecture, a working gui and a non-existant memory footprint. Since I just didn't have the dedication to finish the project but still think there's a market for that, I'd gladly sell it for a fair price. If anyone is interested in just seeing the app (which is unstable), just let me know.
One way is to use a generator that.. (who would've guessed that) generates the tan, another one (though no longer in use at most banks) are indexed tans – a list of one time codes that is enumerated. you are then prompted to enter "code 71" or something, you're getting the idea. the third, and currently widely used variant is mobile tan, where the transaction number is sent to your cell phone, along with some additional information like the amount to be transferred.

Great idea and nice execution. The demo works great and there's definitely a wow-moment.
It's a bit unfortunate that uploading a keynote-presentation threw an error ( didn't say what the problem was, just that the presentation couldn't be converted ) and uploading a ppt messed up the charts. So, maybe it would be wiser to simply just accept pdf-documents and rely on users to do the conversion – it's a complicated task, versions change all the time and mastering pdf alone is maybe enough work for a mvp. just my two cents.
Maybe I'm missing something important here, but right now it looks like a long list of posts concerning the topics, uncurated and free for everyone ( who is part of the group) to post. Are popular posts put on top or something?
if i may be of assistance here.. when they first demoed their emergency brake assistance ( think of a fancy three-letter acronym i'm totally unaware of here ) system, it.. failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYY7OfQ4-5A .
But considering how many mercedes test cars I see ( living in Stuttgart ) every day, it seems they are taking QA really, really serious.
Actually, fyi, the company that is responsible for most of the schedules and time tables is hacon, and the system they offer is called hafas. If you search for the term, you'll find that many, if not most, european transportation providers rely on them for their services. That's why I can search for a train in suburban france using my deutsche bahn-iphone app. it would only be a matter of understanding that one api and the data would be open ( without any screen-scraping or other hacks involved ).
Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that creating new tools to fix the apparent problem is missing the point. the point is: public speaking isn't nowhere near the comfort zone of most people – which is fine. it's something that can be trained and developed, and once that process is complete, most people suddenly stop trying to hide behind a story-telling set of superboring slides and start giving great presentations.
isn't it the very nature of a distributed vcs to be able to work without a central repository? I like the post, but I think the title is misleading ( sorry to be that guy ).
I disagree.. while there a certain similarities, especially when it comes to "becoming better" at both playing chess and programming ( it comes harder to improve at a certain level), the whole concept, motivation and purpose is different. Chess is about winning a defined game, with a defined set of moves. The motivation is, primarily, to win the game. Only very few players are playing chess professionally, but most do it as a hobby.
Programming on the other hand is the contrary: it's not a competition. It's about solving problems, so your opponent is not necessarily another developer, but a problem that's complicated to solve. And the solution depends on the exact definition of the problem. I don't see where an equivalent to the elo-score would fit in here, let alone have any use whatsoever.
given the nature of a meetup, which is to meet people from where you live to talk about interesting stuff, asking for a munich meetup in the stuttgart meetup poll is missing the point.
Few reasons, one of them: I know my way around here in terms of good locations for such an event, I think Stuttgart is very well reachable by train and there a quite some nerds around here, too. I don't see why not have another one in Karlsruhe later this year? Would be great to have another opportunity for leaving the office anyway :-)
