Very random to see a post about my local station appear on the front page of HN. If anyone wants a free iPhone app to check train times from Kent House (other stations are available, but may not be featured on HN),…
With my SRE hat on, dare I ask... could/should this have been picked up in testing? And then normally there's a nice discussion about how production is very different to the test environment.
Can't live without Hammerspoon on Mac. Can't live without AutoHotkey on Windows. Thanks to everyone who contributed to both!
Very nice! I've also used the Rail Data Marketplace (terrible name) to build an app that uses the live departure board data (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/traintrack-uk/id6504205950), and it's great the data is freely…
I have the earlier, smaller model of this, and it works well. I've backed the new, bigger display, which should be shipping soon.
As someone who has worked in London for many years, the difference is amazing. Biking in the city is now enjoyable, and the air quality is (subjectively, even without the data) dramatically better. There was an…
Are you able to share any data to support that?
I bought one of these a few months back. Excellent product, can definitely recommend. Very simple, but very effective.
This is incredibly cool! :) Hope you don't mind a very small feature request / suggestion... when viewing search results, it would be great if you could include a link to the parent collection for results (e.g. I see an…
Great video, amazing science. This is the sort of project where you wish humanity could put aside its differences and collaborate to get it done, given its potential to fundamentally change the course of civilisation.…
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where the bill explicitly recommends backdooring encryption? The relevant paragraphs appear to be as follows, but the guidance looks quite vague... 257. The Government needs…
Slightly off topic, but I was with Three UK for a while. Reception was universally terrible, and trying to use mobile data was a joke. This was in a small urban centre... called London. Would never, ever touch them…
Anyone know if a lifts API exists for the tube and DLR? Can’t find anything obvious on the TfL site.
Very nice :)

+1 for Bitbar. Great tool, capable of displaying any console output in your menubar, so really easy to script in any language.
I tried Fish a while back, and liked it very much. Trouble is, I can't roll Fish out across a work server estate. Well, I could. But then I probably wouldn't be at work much longer. ;-)
Agreed that this looks awesome. Seeing code completion and context sensitive help for running terminal commands (e.g. netstat), not just programming languages, was what made me hit the sign up button.
Fully agree with the article. Got caught out by the same nasty trick. Unfortunately, LinkedIn serves a niche in the market for keeping in touch with ex work colleagues who you don't necessarily know well enough to…
Really cool work. Personally, I can really recommend Newsify as a top quality RSS reader on the iPhone. Great offline support, and it downloads the full articles with images as well. Not affiliated, just a very happy…
Reminds me of Logstalgia, which was a cool log visualization tool for its time - http://logstalgia.io/
I hadn't heard of it before, and it does look potentially very powerful. My only initial concern from reading the quick start (http://www.sikulix.com/quickstart.html) is the apparent requirements to use the "SikuliX…
Despite its many syntax quirks, AutoHotkey is an amazingly powerful tool for automating Windows keyboard and mouse input - I use it daily at work. Having an equivalent tool on the Mac would be awesome, as I don't think…
Looks nice. I also recommend taking a look at http://visjs.org (no affiliation, other than a happy user).
As a Brit, I feel that the BBC is considered pretty legitimate as a respected news source, despite being old and decidedly non-hip. They normally seem to report impartial facts, which works for me (but seemingly not the…
