tudborg··on Fig: Fast, isolated development environments using Docker
This is exactly what i have been working on for the past few days, just in a way nicer package. Think i will ditch my current work and use this instead. thx.
tudborg··on Dogecoin.org - P2P Cryptocurrency for doges
Need some cheese to go with that whine?
tudborg··on Graph.tk
Fun fact: Facebook won't let you post this domain. Maybe the .tk ?
tudborg··on Wireless HDMI for Everyone
AND usb, for power.
tudborg··on Show HN: How to access my personal API
I like the idea, though it makes the life of the identity thief a b it easier.

A few thoughts on how to standardize the content;

It seems more logical to just send your date of birth as a ISO8601 string or a UTC unix timestamp, instead of all the fluff. (i would prefer the ISO8601)

Lat/Lng is an exact point, and i figure you removed a few digits to avoid showing your exact location. A geohash would be better suited to indicate a geographical area of users precision choice. Also more compact.

You are missing country - not everyone live in the US, or even in a city, a common geo indication seems more suited (again, a geohash).

All values should be describes with a standard name, not just the english name. so english: "en", german: "de", etc. Also, more compact.

tudborg··on Tessel: The end of web development as we know it
I would assume (hope is maybe a better word) they have some kind of decent source mapping for debugging.
tudborg··on Show HN: Our data-driven newborn
This makes me wanna have a baby!
tudborg··on RegExpBuilder: because regular expressions suck
It doesn't seem to simplify regex, just make it more verbose. That might be fine, except the people who need to understand how to use it, must already understand the concepts of regexes.

And if you can use this library without understanding regex, you might be better of not using regex at all.

Regex looks complex at first glance, but with a good cheatsheet and tool you should have no problem.

http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ is a great tool for building and testing regexes.

tudborg··on Explainshell – match command-line arguments to their help text
awesome! very good job!
tudborg··on In many ways PHP is just now starting to come into its own
How is the default header of `Content-Type: text/html` Any different form a default header of `Content-Type: text/plain`?

It takes you about 3-4 seconds to change it for your entire project.

tudborg··on Don't Fly During Ramadan
A name that clearly shows the abbreviation came first
tudborg··on SQL Injection Galore
You can be an idiot in any language, including PHP. Blaming the tool is exactly what gets you in to this mess in the first place.

The fault is with the programmer. No one else.

tudborg··on Show HN: BitJoy
Chrome 28.0.1500.71 OSX, works ok. A little unresponsive sometimes.

Really cool. I trade in EUR though, so it would be nice with a mtgox EUR listing.

The access rights it wants to my twitter account is unacceptable though, so no chance i am going to bind my account to bitjoy.

tudborg··on Not Constructive, a place for the discussions not allowed on Stack Overflow
I actually like the strict style of Stack Overflow.

And i find the "Not Constructive" to be exactly that.

Yes, it can be annoying when a question is closed and you really wanted to discuss it, but the rules are quite clear on what is and is not classified as "Not Constructive", and the discussion should just move to some of the discussion threads instead.

And i don't know what you interpret as negativity? I have never seen unfair or non-objective use of moderator functions?

tudborg··on Show HN: Introducing Q.js, a library for modern web apps
that is a bit childish. the time you began development is not relevant, and seeing as q.js is already popular, it is safe to say it will stay that way. changing the name is great advice. consider it.
tudborg··on Vessel.io
It is very unclear what the goal of this page(product?) is.

Really, just add a paragraph or 2 on the frontpage with a "What is Vessel" heading.

tudborg··on Ubuntu 13.10 to ship with Mir instead of X
did you just refer to ISS as Mir? Really?
tudborg··on Show HN: Better SQL group by date
Simply use and store everything in UTC. If you ever need to do grouping by time in any other timezone, it would be trivial to do the conversion.

DAYOFYEAR( CONVERT_TZ(my_datetime_field,'+00:00', '+02:00') )

Seems very intuitive to me.

tudborg··on Show HN: Better SQL group by date
If you have an indexed DATE or DATETIME field in MySQL, you really want to use the date and time functions to do your grouping.

This seems to add unnecessary complexity and overhead.

There is already plenty of build-in abstraction for date manipulation in MySQL, and you really don't want to be dependent on any stored procedure or function if you can avoid it.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functio...

I can't speak for postgres though. It might be different.

tudborg··on Skrollr - parallax scrolling for the masses
All good fun.

But in all seriousness, don't do this on your site. It is horrible.

tudborg··on Poll: What Language would/do you use to build a web application
Not sure if you are joking?
tudborg··on Poll: What Language would/do you use to build a web application
It very much depends on the application.

What is the size and scope of the project? What feature-set are we looking at? Anything realtime? Performance critical? Large team building components at the same time? Maintainability? Scale?

If you really must pick a one-language-fits-all (and i think this poll reflects this logic) it would have to be python.

So, choosing tool before job; python. But also, you would be an idiot.

tudborg··on Poll: What Language would/do you use to build a web application
You need to go look up "prototype" ;)
tudborg··on Edit your code in the cloud with bitbucket
Or maybe the issue tracking system is a web tool that links to the file in the repository and you could fix it with a click to edit instead of pull,open file,fix,commit,push.

Documentation or fixes to comments in code is an obvious usecase for online edits cross-language.

If you'd really rather do the pull,open,fix,commit,push i would argue that you are too stuck in your own ways.
