I found this gist while modularizing our medium sized Angular application. It was a day's work to get the requireJS basics going for our app. That was a pleasant surprise. The additional r.js optimization step cost a bit more time, and that was indeed partly due to documentation issues.

May be the $20M is the projected cost (or amount paid to, or contribution required, or...) for each 'participant'?

sent email, thanks!

Yeah, saw it on your site. Small world!

I honestly didn't expect to see my hometown on HN! Checking it out right now, very cool.

Cooling, looking forward to try it on my Play 2 app running on Heroku!

The packed objects proposal is pretty interesting in this regard: http://duimovich.blogspot.nl/2012/11/packed-objects-in-java....

Are you guys planning to offer this as a Heroku add-on?

Unfortunately it seems to have broken my Google Analytics setup which is managed by Jekyll Bootstrap. Could be related to the site.safe flag that is used by Jekyll Bootstrap, so it somehow can't detect production mode correctly.

Some more background information can be found in this blogpost: http://branchandbound.net/blog/scala/2013/05/launching-scala... Scalabitz was built using Scala, Play and a bit of Akka.

And even the established ones which do require signing are not really trivial to use correctly: http://branchandbound.net/blog/security/2012/08/verify-depen...

Indeed. Would be nice to see how they compare in completeness and performance.

Doesn't that also involve an extra HTTP call? I discussed the same issue as OP a while ago: http://branchandbound.net/blog/web/2012/11/unify-server-side...

Someone in the comments there mentioned a nice alternative to embeddding the data in a <script> tag to avoid the problem jashkenas raised (</script> in the JSON). Namely, setting it in a data- attribute.

I've found http://htmlpreview.github.com to be pretty useful as well. Any notable differences?

Did you also read Rucker's 'Infinity and the Mind'? Contains a fascinating discussion of this problem.

Here's a start: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/b/... doesn't include technical reports though.

I think they phrase it that way since SE apps run with no SecurityManager by default. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from.

Neither does Oracle apparently, when the heat is on: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4456078

Also read the transcript of a discussion with the prosecutor: http://www.friatider.se/swedish-prosecutor-assange-must-come... Very evasive.

Would be interested to compare this approach to other similar systems (e.g. Ruby Gems, CPAN, NuGet). At first blush it seems like none of these provide any mechanism to check the authenticity of artifacts.

One thing that always motivates me is thinking about the amount of time the audience is investing in you. If you're speaking to 100 people, that's a solid 100 hour investment. This helps me put the time I need for preparation in perspective. It may seem crazy to spent hours and days to prepare a one hour talk, but it's not really not if you think about it like this.

Some more thoughts I've written on preparing a technical talk, I think complementary to the advice of OP: http://branchandbound.net/blog/conferences/2012/06/preparing...

How much overhead does this setup incur?

Very nice and solid base to build on! You mentioned your income, but what is the cost structure (both monetary and timewise)?

Does anyone here have firsthand experience with such attacks?

Unfortunately the error traces seem to be empty for the current errors. I'm quite interested in how they present these traces across networked nodes.
