Why the condescension? The user's name is clickable and his profile shows he hasn't used the site since March. Instead of being rude, perhaps consider why his experience wasn't sticky.

Head's up: You probably shouldn't have a testimonial from a guy who hasn't used your site in months (Prakash)
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Diaspora hasn't updated their blog in a month.
My guess is they've all got their heads down trying to hit that deadline.

Mongoengine is pretty tight for python/mongo

One anecdote for another. I'll take it.
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: New York will always be a tech backwater, I don’t care what the VCs say
Interestingly, I met many people in SF who had signed contracts that disagree with this law.
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: New York will always be a tech backwater, I don’t care what the VCs say
That is actually a great point. When was this law made?
Also, this only protects people who are aware of it and willing to fight for it

This is garbage. California does this as much as NYC.

I couldn't watch the video on my iPad. They should rethink that.
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: Say It Ain't So, Google
To me, this behavior solidifies further Google's transition into the Microsoft of the 90's role. I guess that puts them at 2020 for being virtually completely removed from innovation and fully in the role of a differentiation defeater.
Microsoft could turn around and so could Google, but it's very hard when they're so established that short-term risk to profits becomes a major concern.
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on today?
Tornado, MongoDB and using Emacs to do it.

Aren't you going to be sued, like everyone else that has tried this?

Nick B? Is that you?
j2d2 | 15 years ago | on: Scaling CouchDB
Is that because you haven't tried redis or because you haven't tried mongo?

Try SmartGit.
j2d2 | 16 years ago | on: New Finance Website based on Arc / HN
New Mogul was the first I've seen of this and was the best. I think New Mogul's success was also partly due to the intensity of the financial crisis and people's interest in understanding how it all works. Nickb vanished, unfortunately, and New Mogul eventually fell.
No site has been able to replicate the New Mogul community and I don't believe it's the UI's fault entirely, though New Mogul actually did a good job sprucing up the default look. I believe the intense interest along with communal enthusiasm just doesn't exist in that industry under normal circumstances. And certainly not enough for a shared information / aggregation system to prosper.
Consider the nature of the industry. Knowledge is power. If you're not all in a sinking ship together, why would you give up your competitive edge?

Why ask this question online if you just quit the Internet?!
j2d2 | 16 years ago | on: Six coders can do anything and there is nothing six coders can't do.
Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

Your comment just made me realize SQL is the new assembly.
