I disagree, that's a price point concern not a market accessibility one. I strongly prefer to be able to sell to another 400M people than not have the option to do so.

What doesn't get talked about in these articles is the increasing impact to small business in the US. I run a small business (scanii.com) and I've noticed over the past year an inc…

It's not a horrible idea... the challenge there would be making that payment/refund flow totally transparent in order to build trust and be fair to the researchers.

Same experience here. I've run a successful vulnerability disclosure program for over a decade and paid out thousands of dollars in bounties for scanii.com (a malware identificatio…

Sure, for a very narrow definition of _efficiency_. There's plenty to complain in terms of the JVM and Java but performance, as in units of work per dollar spent, is not one of the…

that's a very shallow analogy as the stock market has significantly stronger guardrails to curtain insider trading including fines and jail time these companies lack. But even if y…

Well, assuming that by "statically linking" you mean in the c sense, that's exactly what GraalVM native image does today, it statically analyzes the JAR for reachability only compi…

I think the big problem here is conceptual. The JDK folks are looking at this akin to PGO when, IMHO, they should be looking at this as an AOT cache (yes, the flag names make this …

> Impressive! What do you think it is that you do that allows you to compete with VirusTotal, and even free tools like Jotti? Thanks and good question. We don't really compete with…

Got it, in that case it helps to build a product for a community you can interact with. In my case, this was connecting with folks on Stackoverflow that were struggling with integr…

I built Scanii [1], an unsafe/malware content detection API/SaaS, as a way to keep my coding skills sharp as I moved into engineering leadership roles. Over the years it has grown …

https://www.scanii.com a content arbitration/malware API service. It has been profitable for over 10+ years now with customers around the globe. Building it was one of the best dec…

For the last 9+ years I've worked on https://scanii.com , a content identification service (think of it as the unix file command on steroids wrapped around an easy to use API). Sta…

Not impressed, particularly with the basic-auth description. Basic auth is purely a well understood vehicle for sending a tuple (aka the credentials) for authenticating a HTTP requ…

We migrated scanii.com from Amazon Simple Payments to Stripe subscriptions (after the whole FPS debacle) and haven't looked back, it's truly the best way to process payments right …

Let me see if I can try to simplify the underlying problem here (I dabble in this space): Little bit os background: writing pattern matching signatures is hard, adding a bunch of "…

The tricky part there is that it wouldn't work if you just sat there in a tight look dispatching http requests, any one of them timing out would, likely, trigger the deadline and m…

Thank you!

Hi there, author here, happy to answer any questions.

Yeah I totally agree. As much as I like lambdas in JDK8 the syntax feels super bolt on. What's wrong with just {}, -> is just silly.

Scanii.com ( https://scanii.com ) practical API for malware/virus detection. Low thousands/month and growing quickly, profitable from the beginning and we effectively spend $0 in m…

Sentry is a DNS proxy that allows you to inspect, block, rewrite, redirect and resolve queries in-flight. My weekend hack that turned out to be surprisingly useful.
