__erik··on Udash – Scala and Scala.js Reactive Web Framework
This actually looks really cool. I really like the idea of RPC over websockets built into the framework, I don't do much webdev anymore but I dont think I've seen that before. Looks like a really solid project
__erik··on Tendermint 0.10.2
I first tried to use Tendermint a year ago and honestly it was rough. Their codebase had very few comments, including things a go linter would harass you endlessly for like function comments, and the docs were barely existent. The codebase was also not exactly what you would call "idiomatic" go.

I checked back in at the Cosmos fundraiser, and then again a few weeks ago and their documentation while still needing work, as well as their code quality is definitely improved. I like their idea and I want the project to succeed, and things like independent third party audits are the way that happens.

Kudos to the team for not being afraid to look for the warts, better to get them now then later.

__erik··on Ask HN: What do you use Machine Learning for?
We use ml to identify users who might try to commit fraud when purchasing things from our site, as well as prevent identify fraud when users verify their ID with us. We are also looking into taking advantage of adaptive design to improve ux and conversion.
__erik··on Why I switched from OS X to Linux
Kind of but not really: http://www.proreactnative.com/How-to-Develop-iOS-Apps-on-Lin...) I see no reason why Apple would make it easy to develop iPhone apps on anything but MacOS.
