catalinist··on Ask HN: Raspberry Pi Startup Ideas
Since it's so cheap it will be very easy to build a cluster of this little things and start computing in prarallel. Since I'm also attending Udacity CS 101, where you learn to build your own search engine, I'm dreaming about a data center full of raspberry pi's crawling the web :)

catalinist··on Is Pre-Cognition Possible & Can It Beat Twitter on Breaking News?

catalinist··on Data visualization - 9 Years of Sleep
no, you're wrong. the spiral-like patterns are the sleep cycles that gets disrupted by staying up late and waking up late in the day. The holiday are the periods that's all gray -> days with no connect in august
catalinist··on Reboot PHP: keep the philosophy, improve the syntax (PHP on the JVM)

catalinist··on Search hacker news
The implementation can't be that hard ... come on ... it's about doing some query on the database.

Why don't you use WAMP instead of LAMP ? http://www.wampserver.com/en/
catalinist··on Simplicity
It's been done already and it alienates users.
catalinist··on Ask YC: What was your first computer?
A HC(Home Computer) made by Romanians with Spectrum ZX processor and 48KB of memory. It had a ROM with BASIC. That's what I've programmed first.
catalinist··on Making a picture website from Picurls.com
heh ... I posted in an share-your-ideas last week about making a site that agragates the agregation sites and it seems that's just what picurls.com is all about. Taking the pictures from other sites like digg, readdit, del.icio.us and puting it all toghether. I think this can be done not only for pictures but for other things like videos, news, other-niches-categories.
catalinist··on What if Google had to design their user interface to rank high on Google?

catalinist··on Idea Week. Post ideas you don't plan on implementing.
aggregating the aggregation sites. Basiclly a site where you can make an account and have the news from digg, reddit, pligg and whatever other sites delivered to this one service. basicly I'm thinking about the user registring on this one site, and then this site registring to all other sites specific users that link back to the main-user. Kinda lika a pyramid ... don't know if this make sense (or if I'm expressing it well in english). This would also be used with social bookmarking sites (apparently 300 of this kind of sites exists - here is the list : http://www.ajaxflakes.com/web-20/social-bookmarking-sites-un...)

And if I'm going there : this site should provide web services that link to user's blogs.

This is my 2 cents.

catalinist··on For Reddit devs : make something about "submitting too fast"
Do you know if reddit has this system where if you have more "karma" you can subbit articles more often ?
catalinist··on For Reddit devs : make something about "submitting too fast"
Not really. There are articles worth submitting but because of user psychology and behavior it will not be posted. My logic is that the user will think: "Well, if you didn't want it when I was ready to give it to you, why bother to return and re-submit it". The software should come in the aid of the user, not the other way around. Of course, you might also take into consideration statistical behavior and think: "If a user will not submit it, then other user will come and do it" but that's really relaying on chance, and not a good plan to bet on it.
