In this case, I was merely pointing out that some practitioners and theorists are making "this kind of arguments".

As for the rest, I guess Erik was being a bit provocative when he gave that talk. From my very limited experience of how he explain topics, he tends to be playful. Keep in mind when I watched a presentation he gave about Reactive Programming, he actually advocated the opposite of this talk! (i.e. that it's best not to be fundamentalist, and take what works from each paradigm).

My takeaway from all this is that some of the beauty and power of FP can only be discovered when you go "fundamentalist"; otherwise the temptation to use "escape hatches" and go the familiar route is too strong, and once you do that you miss alternative formulations/solutions of known problems. At least, this is my experience with Scala.

Doesn't running containers in a Xen hypervisor (what AWS are offering) defeat the performance benefit of containers?

Also you still have to care about instances and AMIs, rather than just containers and dockerfiles, which is a second layer of management.
Could the limit also be lowered, for damage control?

Is there anywhere that has decent documentation on how to do that? I'm not very good with compiling and linking C, and have been trying to work out some distribution issues with a project I was working on in a compile-to-c language, where it relies on a dynamically linked shared library that I want to distrubute along with it.
Can you clarify this? Your first paragraph seemed to contradict your 2nd one -- I think I must have misunderstood you somewhere.

I thought paragraph 1 boiled down to: "you shouldn't see any error handling code most places; only at the top."

Then in the 2nd paragraph, I interpret "all is better than almost all" as: "I want to be forced to check all exceptions all the time, not just a few. (Meaning, I want error handling code everywhere)."

Again, not being argumentative. Just asking for clarification.

They made me sign an NDA before even talking. They claim to not be aware of a competitor app based from France which has significant user base. They didn't make it known to me when I asked them of competitors, only to vaguely say "they remember hearing of it" after I mentioned it ( http://www.tvshowtime.com/en ).

2 business persons and 1 creative/marketing. None of them technical. All of them have highly paid day jobs as high ups in a big (really big) company. They are trying to hire people who quit or were laid off from such big company. All they talk about is having a big enough sell price so they can quit their jobs, only the creative truly thinks about the product.

I agree, they seemed to have fallen on their lie of then not having money. They want a contractor to build an app I should probably charge as a contractor.

It's quite peculiar that CBC would exclude such a detail.
> proof that the code is the same as the one at github.com/lavab/web

Theoretically we can prove (via Chrome packaged apps, for example) that the code running on Lavaboom's servers (or locally if you run the web app yourself) is from our public repos. If the code doesn't do magic stuff like dynamically changing itself, and since we use TLS to deliver it, it should be impossible to maliciously alter what's running on the client side, unless we leverage some hypothetical unknown-yet browser-specific vulnerabilities(?).

Also, network activity can be monitored, theoretically the users will be able to detect ~if~ when we start streaming their data to NSA servers. Unless you assume our server is completely compromised and we do the streaming ourselves.

By the way, that's why I designed the system with the premise that we ourselves can't be trusted (e.g. haxorz pwnd us etc.) i.e. asymmetric encryption everywhere. Here's for instance some of my actual data (ignore the pre-refactoring messiness): https://gist.github.com/andreis/70c8f5bb1d811f6ac7db

PS: I'm not saying a web app are ideal for what we do, as I mentioned in another comment we started with it due to sheer pragmatism, and we're planning native apps (or at the very least cordova/electron "native" apps). I would really appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

The idea of a GUI and Intellisense is to have an embedded short documentation.

Next to each checkbox, a GUI should have a plain text, short description of what it does (and a couple of words is often enough). Each item in an intellisense drop down has a short description too. The idea is not to eliminate documentation but to display it in the current context so that:

1. users make the correct choice when they type (i.e. the description will prevent them from making a mistake they would have made otherwise)

2. users know what other choice is available

3. users do not need to look for some offline documentation that may or may not refer to the version of the program they use (or the distribution of linux they use!) or may apply in a different context

4. users do not need to memorize occasionally used commands
I use Visual Studio (2010 & 2013) in VirtualBox on a customized MacBook Pro (with SSD) for developing Windows Phone applications as a hobby. It runs very well and fast and it is usable on a daily basis. On an hard disk drive it was a bit too slow for being confortable.

But there are also some annoying VM freezings related to the USB port, which sometimes forces me to force quite the VM with the task manager because even VirtualBox can't terminate the instance.

This is a great answer, thanks! Of course I knew I was going to push some buttons and don't pretend to be a saint myself, but I thought many here would be interested in hearing what you had to say because as digital hackers we have the ability to operate in a somewhat unregulated space and face many moral and ethical dilemmas. BTW, I don't feel I was over-exaggerating the risks of untreated addictions - I encourage you to research it if you still feel that way. It is almost certain if the app was as popular as you say, and people used real money, that at least one person killed themselves or ruined their lives/families/careers by now.

Re: #8. I don't see casinos and drugs (including alcohol) going away any time soon, and attempting to stop them is misdirected in my opinion. The problem is that for a small proportion of the public (typically people with mental health issues) they end up being used as self-medication, often unknowingly, and can make bad situations worse - leading to financial ruin, families torn apart, suicide or overdose in the case of drugs. (JP Morgan & Starbucks don't have these properties.)

For that reason, in the meatspace, casinos are highly regulated and need to identify and protect vulnerable people. So yes - while your app is a substitute for a physical activity, in the physical world that person would have gone through many more hoops that would have allowed people to help them or notice their problem. In digital space, there is no such visibility and there are no regulations, which is why it becomes interesting to see what people do and say about what they do.
With no knowledge of how these systems are actually implemented for aircraft, for various values of "isolated":

I once had a customer that provided energy pricing data from their network via a leased line to be put onto their website. In their case the isolation they required was provided by not running any network stack over that link - they sent a mostly raw (error correction but that was it) stream of data point to point rather than network packets, and the connection was entirely one-way - if we were to try to send anything back, nothing was listening.

Making it physically impossible for something to listen is reasonably straight forward if you control the hardware, and you can easily additionally electrically isolate the networks.
1. All the mentioned is that they all put "tens of thousands/car money" each, so I assume 50k each? Hard to say. They also need to hire a 4 other production workers (Server side, UX, QA, design, etc).

2. By valuation they claim that is what they will be worth based on user base (8/per user I keep hearing). That is the business model. I am highly skeptical, I put it at 10 million in a 1-2 years at best. They want to sell the app ASAP. They claim they won't sell for less than 25 million. They say "every 1% be worth $250k - $1.5m"

3. To be fair they did claim it was insane. "Equity vests when app ships" was in the terms for the 0.5% to 2% I got in the various offers.

4. I have no idea about such tax implications. All I heard was preferred stock. Any information would be appreciated.

The downside of bootstrapping is that it takes longer (as covered in PG's various "money" essays). Money isn't the only currency, time is another, and what VCs REALLY offer is a change to speed up time to market and profitability, which is important when you really only have 40-60 productive years and taking funding gives you the opportunity to double the number of shots you get in that time.

I think about this every minute we're spending on client stuff instead of our main product. Still not worth the loss of independence and control, for me, but I can see the attraction. No more hesitation before buying servers, hiring the people I would love to but can't afford at the moment, no time wasted in selling B2B services, a real physical office, a secretary to do the endless admin work...
It is.

For example being strict on the network input path and doing proper validation of incoming data is a strong part of the design.

Or was the question more related to, it is C therefor security cannot be part of the process?
You should have seen the screener at Gatwick that almost freaked out a few years ago when my then 3 year old son had to send his shoes through and he could see electronics in the heel.

They were the kind of shoes that lit up when he put his feet down, and the guy had clearly not seen them before - he looked at the other screeners with this terrified look on his face. Thankfully one of them reassured him that it was safe quickly enough.

Never mind that I regularly forget water bottles and/or electronics in my carry on that they either never spot or can't be bothered to do anything about.

I have 9 workspaces, two screens each, in a 3x3 grid. Most are browser - terminal pairs. 4 tabs per workspace is fairly common. They're grouped with working checkouts by task. I'm not quite at 50, but getting there. For example:

1. Support Ticket workspace -- one for RT, more tabs for related research

2. internal wiki workspace -- one for the wiki, another for the wiki's github repo, another for a local build of the wiki

3. email / meetings -- one window for calendar+tasks, one for email, with and 1-2 extra tabs for documents or links sent my way

4. Site Reliability -- one for nagios alerts, one for site testing, one for munin, and one for github PRs

5. management -- weekly management meeting agenda google doc, a key report or two, and maybe a slides for a presentation I've been asked to give or review

Edit: IMO, I'm perfectly happy to give up Memory if it means one tab crashing doesn't kill the entire process. Even at 100MB per tab, 5GB is like under 50 bucks.
You can turn off TLS on Kore.

$ make BENCHMARK=1

It is not a run time option by design, but it is there.

I want Kore to have sane defaults for getting up and running. That means TLS (1.2 default by only), no RSA based key exchanges, AEAD ciphers preferred and the likes.

Some of these have like.. 300x480 screens or something equally ridiculous, which is a nice way to test for "see how bad your app can get". It helps that they are all "legitimate" phones, i.e., have the full Play Store and ecosystem (supporting push, google accounts, etc).

The tradeoff between security and performance is simply not there anymore.

Unless you write on an embedded system, a game, or a high performance number crunching application, C is premature optimisation.

And even in the above we see drastic changes today, embedded systems have become so powerful that they can run scripting languages (http://www.eluaproject.net), game engines are written in C and scripted with other things (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/), and inmemory-bigdata systems like spark offer significant advantages over classical HPC frameworks like MPI (http://www.dursi.ca/hpc-is-dying-and-mpi-is-killing-it/).
