"Accidental" mutability in gems tends to cause pain - spotted this one in Rails, for example. https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/25735

I guess they were trying to say this version of evtdiag.exe. But I still agree it was a little unnecessary.

YMMV but opening a US bank account as a UK citizen is easy as long as you're present on US soil. Opened a checking account at a Chase branch in San Francisco with my passport and as many other proofs of address as I could muster. Every

I'd love to use this - guess it's not available outside the US? I'm in London.

If it was there, it probably still is. I can't imagine BA moving fast ;)

I agree. I'm glad people don't though, as I like de-privatising "private APIs" ;)

Done - thanks for the poke.

Fair point on the Charles certificate. Not something to keep installed! I'll add that now.

The short answer is "no" - you're always playing a cat and mouse game, so you're wiser not to put things behind an API that you're really not happy for people to play with. I suspect this is why we've traditi

Nothing really - I suspect that Charles is more approachable for the average person though. And besides, I hadn't spotted any alternatives when I wrote the article ;)

Just tried it - much cleaner than Charles for Terminal lovers like the average HN user.

Thanks! I think this is a super interesting thing to do - there's tonnes of great stuff to discover - and something that's not very well documented online. I wanted to make it easy for anyone to do this kind of thing.

by timrogers 12y ago
Just taken a look. I agree there's some stuff in there they probably don't want you or I to know, but no sign of ability to book from what I've discovered.

Never seen MITMproxy - how does it compare to Charles? I've found super interesting stuff - pretty much invariably find that (a) there's cool stuff you can do and (b) the app's developers haven't gone to significant leng

I imagine finding stuff is going to be pretty tough in such a large area - but it'll sure be interesting.

OP here. At the moment, there isn't such an option built in, but removing the friend "pugomatic" on Snapchat directly will do the job. If anyone has any concerns along these lines, or any other comments, feel free to drop me

OP here - it's just an idea that I had at work following GibSec's full disclosure [1] of Snapchat's (ostensibly) private API. Pugs are a favourite and long-running meme, and Snapchat is very much a part of current internet cu

No one is obligated to alter their own behaviour in order to sustain someone else's business model , that's why it's totally okay to shoplift if it's more agreeable and convenient to you.
