vijaydev··on Comparing Indian states with countries
I won't call it "fairly large". Sure, some differences exist because of the culture and the size of the country. And I'm not considering divisive politicians when I say this.
vijaydev··on Show HN: HN Trends - like Google Trends, but for Hacker News

http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=rails%2Cdjango

Interesting that Ruby stays below Python but Rails stays well above Django.

vijaydev··on Infosys, TCS or Wipro?
Society definitely plays a role. Working in "some little, unknown company" (a startup) is hard to explain to people with little or no knowledge of what we do. Being an entrepreneur is worse: you are considered "insane" if you quit a well paying job to start a company.
vijaydev··on The Github Follower Problem
Thanks. Will appreciate any feedback to improve.
vijaydev··on The Github Follower Problem
This is why I built "GitHub Feed Filter" - a Google Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jcpkhafkpnaljjbgdg...). It adds an interface in the page that enables users to look at feeds filtered by projects, by commits, by issues and by comments.
vijaydev··on [dead]
Adding a couple of ? at the end and re-submitting a story that is still on the first page (#17 right now) is not cool.

I understand that there is an update on the story, but is re-submitting the only way to convey that to HN? Not quite sure.

vijaydev··on Chrome has transcended version numbers
The launchpad link returns a 404.
vijaydev··on 'Hot migrating' from SVN to mercurial, and why we choosed HG over GIT.
Please be nice when pointing out mistakes. Not everyone is a native English speaker here.
vijaydev··on Rails 3.1 beta 1 released
A few niceties:

1. Console shows SQL queries right there.

2. The file_field automatically adds :multipart => true to the enclosing form.

3. Newer Migrations - There is a "change" method now which can be used to write only the "up" part of the migration and Rails will automatically reverse when a migration is rolled back.

vijaydev··on A CoffeeScript Intervention
Nice article Trevor. But you could have avoided the last statement creating unnecessary FUD in the minds of Rails users.

This is the Tokyo International Airport?
vijaydev··on 8.9 earthquake hits Japan
May be, may not be. But I'm sure there are people out there who got some updates from this post. For them, yes it is.
vijaydev··on A tale of two programmers
sophacles and pmjordan had already given enough info on Jacques. One thing I can say about his posts (having recently posted a couple of them to HN myself) is that they are simple, clear and thoughtful and very much in line with the wavelength of people here at HN.
vijaydev··on Ubuntu 11.10 named Oneiric Ocelot
Sorry, I don't get you. Can you explain?
vijaydev··on New Google 404 page (sample link)
The title of the page is "Error 404 (Not Found)!!1".

Someone released the Shift key before finishing typing ;)

vijaydev··on Microsoft just bought Nokia for $0
Wish jacquesm is here to contribute to this discussion (and defend his article). Having said that, the article cannot be evaluated to be good (or bad) just based on his reputation and I'm sure even he would agree.

By the way, did you see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2206189 :)
