I've finally broken mine's digitizer, after two years of other serious falls and baths that had left it in perfect working condition. It might be for the best, considering each Android update lately has been buggier on this now unsupported phone.

I miss this phone already, and I need to find a worthy successor now.

I'd consider sending you my old, untested and unguaranteed battery if it could prolong the life of a Nexus in need :)

I never noticed because I'm actually using stripe.js to do the payment, and was only using the various validations from jquery.payment in a couple angular directives.

I realized stripe.js had validation functions built in one day looking into the source, and that's where I remember those validations acting differently from.

On the subject of the jquery.payment lib, I remember noticing that the validation functions it provides for various credit cards are not exactly the same as the ones in stripe.js, and actually better.

I would have to look at my commit history to remember what exactly were the differences though. I think it could match the various credit card types with fewer digits entered or was better for cvv validation of amex cards.

"Oh thank heaven". This is so hilariously unfortunate. The funny part is that I really don't notice "bite" in this way if it's surrounded by English words. The tumblr blog listed downthread does nothing for me for example.

But if the surrounding words exist in French too, my brain invariably gets tricked into switching to French.

"bite" is safe according to this tool. Any french speaker does a double take when they see that word though, especially in certain sentences.

Edit: Yes, I have submitted it to the database, it should get vetted eventually. A crowdsourced process for the vetting could be fun too!

If you could show some example of views before and after optimization, that would be great! I haven't yet had to sit down and optimize beyond basic best practices so it would be valuable to see some actual coded, real world example.

Thank you for clarifying the relational aspect. This is what I meant to say but I couldn't find a concise way to do so.

The problem of syncing the schema to the orm is a tough one to solve indeed. Good to see that rails will get it right.

Django with South has the same issue, so much so that South preventatively overrides the native manage.py syncdb command with its own migrate command which replays all the migrations.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a strong dba, but I'll try my hand at an answer. Please let me know if I'm talking nonsense.

It would be useful if the data meets two requirements:

-you know that it won't be queried in a relational way, but

-you don't know how the schema might evolve (beyond the fields you use in your partial index, that is) and want to save yourself the hassle of frequent schema migrations.

Most French people don't speak english. Younger generations do, but not very well. Hopefully, the average will rise to netherlands/scandinavian levels with time.

In professional settings, I think you would be hard pressed to find someone you cannot communicate with in english. It has been a requirement for most higher ed degrees for years now.

But come on, blasting a country because the average citizen doesn't speak your language well seems a little entitled in my book. If you're going anywhere to settle down (not for vacation), learning the local language should be high on your list.

Edit: no comment about your other points though. You actually have more experience dealing with them than I do.

second that. Using it as an angular directive. It's really nice!

Thank you! This is pretty nice then, I think when I first stumbled upon the pricing page a while ago, these reduced rates were already public. At the time I just assumed it was counted by store and got back to work. I still chose Balanced for the native marketplace support and general "openness" feel I get from the company.

It's the same pricing as all their competitors if I recall correctly.

I'm sorry if this is stated somewhere but I have not seen it anywhere. How are these thresholds calculated? Is this per store/merchant account or for the whole marketplace?
