Ben Cruachan is great and free if you come by train. The walk up to the top is good on a nice day but not easy. I went in the summer and there's a photo at the bottom of this blog post: https://unop.uk/mobile-gb-rail-li

Nuclear power stations are surprisingly boring. It's mostly solid state, relatively quiet and inaccessible (for obvious reasons). I went on a trip to Dungeness (Kent) and it looks like you still can[0] along with 6 others. For pumped s

I was talking to a CERN physicist once who joked that the reason for the LHC winter shutdown was because France needed heating. It's probably more to do with economics but it's almost true. France has a lot of cheap nuclear power

https://energyuse.eu is an interesting study in how online discussion can help. It's part of an EU trial that I'm on ( https://www.decarbonet.eu ).

This is a very pretty map! It shows that location is important but time is also an interesting domain. You can do your bit by running appliances at the best time. This is a post I made on https://energyuse.eu (part of an EU tria

Server-side rendering is absolutely fine. The only caveat I would add is that if you want to change some functionality to a client-side JavaScript app later then having dynamically generated HTML will make this harder. For example, if you w

FYI there's a summary and video on the root domain: https://h4ck1t.com Edit: Turn your speakers down when you play the video if you don't like modem sounds. This game looks fun. Reminds me a little of Uplink from 2001

First traffic, now this. Next up, how busy is your train? It's not clear how they get the data for this. Assuming it's the same tech as for minor road traffic then it probably uses Google's location services on Android device

Shadow-banning / hell-banning happens on HN too, but you're right that it's not a very nice way of moderating. Obviously, it's worse if it also gets you in trouble with the state. Manipulating people's view of the w

A bit off-topic but the image used suggests that MS have officially adopted the ninja cat riding a flame-breathing unicorn meme [^0]. They even added special emoji to Win 10 [^1]. [^0]: http://www.windowscentral.com/here-mic

Ja. See also the borrowed word Zeitgeist, literally time-ghost but more accurately the 'spirit of the age'.

Ben has been once of the main external contributors to Kestrel and is a big reason of why it's so fast. Great work! I have no idea how he manages to do all of this and write a game at the same time. https://www.techempower.c

Not sure of the specifics. Java SE is now included with the official OS (Raspbian/NOOBS) [0]. When the Pi first launched you had to use the soft FP version of the OS or Java wouldn't work but this had a significant performance pen

Nice work. It will be great to use ASP.NET Core on a Pi with official support. I tried .NET out on the Pi using Mono, years ago when it was relatively new but after the software floating point OS was deprecated. The weird hardware floating

As others here are pointing out, with passive monitoring (i.e. Wireshark) you can't decrypt Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) traffic even if the private keys are known / later discovered. This is by design and is the great thing

Worth pointing out that Charles isn't free [0], unlike Fiddler. It used to be that on Mac/Linux you didn't have many choices but there is now a Beta of Fiddler for Mac and an Alpha for Linux (using Mono) [1]. [0]: https:&#x2
