jerryji··on Ask HN: Using Django with PostgreSQL schemas
Yes.

And to anyone who does not care about a fancy admin interface, I'd serious recommend Pylons.

jerryji··on If your startup is not gettin’ busy growing, you’re gettin’ busy dying.
While I appreciate the (universally true) idea, the post (and the site in general) is a bit too fluffy for me to learn anything tangible.

It's kind of like when you are training for the Olympic games, people shout at you "If you don't run the fastest in the world, you won't win the gold medal!" Yeh, great advice.

You are welcome.

Don't be evil.
jerryji··on China’s College Entry Test, Gao Kao, Is National Obsession
A huge number of people chasing after so few opportunities as their ultimate dream -- Wait, you are not talking about Silicon Valley?

Voted up for the last slide (#11).
jerryji··on 4Chan Flooding YouTube with Childrens' Clips Containing Porn
So which one do you think is more severe?

Causing mental and physical pain and suffering with the possibility of death to people, including children; or causing mental pain and suffering to children?

jerryji··on How to find new startup ideas? The answer is in the question.
Peter Drucker's "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" ( http://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Entrepreneurship-Peter-F-Dr... ) provides more in depth discussion on the topic and should serve as great food for thought.
jerryji··on I want to start a startup, but have no ideas. What should I do?
You should find Steve Blank's post today helpful -- "Am I a Founder? The Adventure of a Lifetime" ( http://steveblank.com/2009/06/11/am-i-founder-the-adventure-... )
jerryji··on Why "I'd Google it" is not an acceptable Interview Answer
Maybe one that can be answered by 5 minutes of Googling is not an acceptable interview question.
jerryji··on Ask HN: please review my webapp: metracks.com
I like the concept, not the interface.
jerryji··on Beauty and the geeks: Bad economy, even for tech trade show girls
Voted down for having too few show girl photos ;)
jerryji··on Shanghai High-Schooler Wins TopCoder Open
Congratulations! What are the problems like though, who has an example?
jerryji··on CentOS 5.3 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]
A more accurate title would be -- CentOS 5.3 x86_64 Server and ISPConfig 3 Installation Tutorial (on 6 Pages)
jerryji··on Is Linux ruining my chance at a good software engineering career?
There are plenty of Google employees building their (arguably ;) good software engineering career using mainly Linux, just an example.
jerryji··on Rising Above I.Q.
Reminds me of the rice paddy chapter in the Outliers, and to me they are equally not very scientific.
jerryji··on Ask HN: Have you ever felt inferior for not being from a name-brand college?
I only feel inferior when I haven't done enough to maximize my potential.
jerryji··on Ask HN: Review My App - Alchitect
Hold on mate, Alchitect does not seem very MVC from its Twitter timelines tutorial ( http://alchitect.com/app/documentation/twitter_timeline ) -- the HTML (V) is weaved deep inside the function (C).

Technicality aside, for a framework to be popular, it's necessary (though not sufficient) to have lots and lots of documentation/tutorials.

1. label 2. spam filter 3. search 4. thread 5. archive
jerryji··on Web Performance Best Practices
Warning: Page Speed effectively kills my FF (3.0.10 on Ubuntu Hardy) _even after it is disabled_ (creepy) where I have no more than 6 tabs (with 3 of them being Google Notebook, Google Reader and Gmail).
jerryji··on Two types of users - Why your startup should pay attention
Fluffy and superficial.

Much analysis has been done in customer development, e.g. The Four Steps to Epiphany & Crossing the Chasm, it's a great loss if those works are not studied in details and built upon.

jerryji··on Why Things Become Unpopular
Will it explain this? -- http://google.com/trends?q=twitter
jerryji··on Ask HN: Which tool(s) do you use to install/upgrade your app on production?
Mercurial (distributed revision control system) --

Grammar aside, since when does Mozilla Ubiquity intend to break free from the browser??

I wish I could vote this post down.

jerryji··on Web Applications Should Be Compiled
But as your web application database grows more complex and larger, how do you intend to make them keep up with the 2k req/sec load?
jerryji··on Web Applications Should Be Compiled

  > So this is why I’m writing a web framework in C.
Why C, why not assembly? In fact, you know what real programmers use? -- http://xkcd.com/378/

  > Grow the fuck up...
  > finding Rails developers is fucking impossible...
You grow up
