jerome_etienne··on Pure browser qrcode generation as simple as $('#contain').qrcode('foobar')
qr code is about easily passing data to your smart phone.

The most common application is give url to your phone. android 2.2 got a feature to push links from chrome to android phone.

with qrcode, you can do it from any browser to any smartphone.

One could write an plugin for that... one js including all what is needed. display a small icon on the page. when the user click on the icon, a large qrcode open, and the user can scan it and go on on its phone.

just suggesting

jerome_etienne··on On Bushido, launch apps from github repos
i understand your goal. but realize that current experience is "frozen at 8%"... not a super first impression either.

just suggesting to improve the hn post consequences

jerome_etienne··on On Bushido, launch apps from github repos
if so, maybe you can cache the 'top apps', thus people can see what is it about ?

jerome_etienne··on How to go faster than jQuery, Ext, Mootools...?
The work behind is impressive and inovative.

More general benchmarks would be nice. more real life situations maybe, even if it is hard to say what is 'real life'.

or simply to fork http://mootools.net/slickspeed/ and to put myjs in there to see how it compares.

jerome_etienne··on Show HN: MicroEvent.js - js micro event emitter in less than 20lines
i had chained api before, and removed it for shortness.

your point on api name is good. which name would you suggest ? something standard and readable and im sold :)

jerome_etienne··on Show HN: MicroEvent.js - js micro event emitter in less than 20lines
backbone is super nice, i wont be the one saying otherwise. It isn't the same scope tho. It does event emitter and much much more!

I like micro frameworks (aka tiny libraries) because it is standalone and so small you can easily maintain it yourself if needed. So it is less an actual dependancy.

jerome_etienne··on Show HN: Hacker News Map 2011
here is comments for a french startuper. You give several reasons:

tl;dr : regulation: true but not that much. mintel: irrelevant now as its past problem. langage: very true, crititcs: missed but quite big.

Long version:

- regulation: yep france got many uselessly complex regulations. This slow you down in creating and running a business.

- minitel: the impact of this weird custom computer was big during the 90's. Its delayed the arrival of internet in french households. But all that is now way passed. for example: france got an internet bandwidth which is fast and cheap.

- cant speak english: i believe this one to be very true and true significant. French are well known to be crappy with foreign langage. Even in the computer industry, many french people got trouble even reading english. This impacts the ability to get information by reducing the scope of what you perceive. not sure how to formulate this. but this is big :)

- critics: i think you missed one tho: french people do love to criticize. this is deep in them, as if it was in their blood. This impacts entrepreneurship, because starting a business is very risky, and taking a risk is to lay oneself open to criticism. many "i told you so" kindof remarks.

ps: yes france is very centralized in paris. even if some delocalisation happens because employees are cheaper outside of paris.
