That's good to know. I've not put Stripe live because of this. It all looks great, but the inability to handle multiple currencies is a deal breaker for now. GBP, USD, and EUR are a minimum, imo. Been doing that elsewhere since the 1990s. T

Awesome work, Solomon & team. Just to add that I have a bunch of 32-bit that this I would love to use this on. Looks like a potential game-changer, imo. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yes, 4.2 has far worse performance than prior releases. It's taken the shine off of an otherwise excellent piece of kit. It's also disappointing that some longstanding Chrome issues have not been fixed. If the option were available to go ba

This is exactly how it was with Usenet "back in the day". It probably still is, but I don't go there anymore. Of course, your identity then was your email address. I don't know what we were thinking!

The story was also reported yesterday, with more detail, in the Sunday Times ( http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/ ), which sits, ironically, behind a paywall. (I have the dead tree version here, which I guess I could photograph and upload.)

In ruby, at least, there are some good tools to automate this for you. Using, say, vcr, you can automatically "record" your API calls (into "cassettes") as your tests run; these data are then used when you run your unit tests subsequently.

No. "normal people" call them hyphens. I think it is a mainly USian curiosity to call hyphens dashes. The Rest of the World calls hyphens, well, hyphens. It's only the US that call them dashes. I've no idea why that is.
