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 availabl…

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 e…

Can't live without Hammerspoon on Mac. Can't live without AutoHotkey on Windows. Thanks to everyone who contributed to both!

Unfortunately, I believe it's limited to TfL stations only (e.g. Overground) rather than National Rail. Oh, and I should have mentioned that I'm also aware of this, but it's not fr…

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/id65042059…

As a UK citizen, I'm hoping this is actually a backdoor effort by the US to hack into people's data rather then something our fine folks were pushing for. Or at the very least, it'…

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) dra…

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 paren…

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 fundamental…

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 qu…

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 Lo…

Anyone know if a lifts API exists for the tube and DLR? Can’t find anything obvious on the TfL site.

Very nice :)

You can get RSS apps that will download the full articles for offline reading, including images. I use Newsify with my Feedly account on the iPhone, and it’s perfect. Android clien…

+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…

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'…

I love this tool. It's probably the closest thing (sorta) to AutoHotkey that exists for OSX.

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 wel…

Reminds me of Logstalgia, which was a cool log visualization tool for its time - http://logstalgia.io/
