   I work as a consultant at a multi-discipline engineering consultancy, where we get to work on cross-discipline projects involving both mechanics, hardware and software. It is quite interesting, although not in the "advanced CS"-wa

   Sorry but if you cold emailed this to a VC, it makes sense that you didn't receive an answer. It's a rambling wall of text packed with irrelevant technical information. I now know your tech stack, infrastructure and the text edito

   Jesus! Are there any posts on HN these days that are not JavaScript or blockchain? (or a combination, describing 90% of blockchain projects....) On topic: I don't see a use case, in which I would need to use the actor model and would p

   This was really awesome. The design improvements are so clear, but I would've never come up with them myself.

   Because it takes too long, and everybody wants to get rich quick (or while they try to implement their idea). Also, on bitcointalk it seems all you need is a whitepaper and a great(!) team (of 1 developer and hundred marketing strategists,

    Transparency is what makes IH great. I don't see this sell as a good move, if Stripe cannot appreciate that, and allow you to disclose how much you get from the deal.

    Wouldn't really say that I am seeing it from the outside. Have done some web frontend projects last couple of years and also used Electron for a project. Starting an Angular 1 project now is comparable to doing Windows desktop applicat

    You're forgetting that this is every web developer's dream. To always keep learning new frameworks (to do the same fucking thing) over and over.

    Maybe I sound like a broken record, but I still don't understand how layout can ever be a style. Why does an HTML <Grid>-element not exist?

    I agree whole-heartedly. Frontend web development is broken in that sense. In no way does it make sense to define a layout through a Stylesheet. Most of the other frontend "languages" get this. HTML needs layout tags, e.g. for gr

    Also, GCE is a service while AWS is a suite of services. The correct comparison should be Google Cloud Platform (GCP) vs AWS. Guess it's nitpicking.. but still.
