Ask HN: Heartbeat from ECG?
I recently lost my mother to cancer. For some reason, this idea is stuck in my head that if I hear her heartbeat it will make me feel a lot better. Is it possible to generate the heartbeat sound using an ECG image using computer vision and ML?
FWIW, MacFUSE was open sourced by Google: http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2007/01/taming-mac-os-x-file-s...
Git repos aren't bad for secret management within teams, IME. So there is some use.
The footnote says Google are using their own fork. Now we don't know when they forked and how much they diverged, but it's quite possible that were going to maintain their own fork, anyway.

It's also noteworthy isn't the "original author of osxfuse". In fact, Google is. So while I can empathise with the general complaint about commercial use, one doesn't get to make that complaint against the one company that originally started the project and released it under a permissive license.

>>You're not really looking for anything other than an obvious counterfeit note.

That's not because non-obvious counterfeits are not possible. It's just that not many of them are generated. The same could apply to non-obviously sabotaged Kong: theoretically it's possible to do, but in practice uncommon.

Kong would have the added benefit of not financially rewarding the sabateur the way counterfeiting rewards a counterfeiter.
You can implement byte addressing on any architecture, of course. That's what I meant by "the C memory model doesn't have to reflect the underlying hardware architecture". But as you point out yourself, this requires pointers which are basically not raw hardware addresses, and which are more expensive to work with, because they require the compiler to do the same kind of stuff it has to do for bit fields. So the natural implementation - with no unexpected perf gotchas - tends towards pointers as raw hardware addresses, and thus char as the smallest unit those can address.
Yeah, we could just dredge sand from poisoned seabeds around oil platforms with insufficient pollution controls.

> Emoji are hard to type on non-mobile platforms

On Windows they are easy: <Windows key> + .

Finding the right emoji is easier than on my Android phone as Windows lets me type the emoji name. Why emoji search is missing on Android... who knows.
> Cash doesn't really require verification in most cases, if it looks good its probably good, your possession of the notes is almost certainly enough. You're not really looking for anything other than an obvious counterfeit note.

Neither would Kong in most cases. Why would you assume that counterfeiting will be anymore common with Kong than it would for cash?

> Whereas Kong requires verification because literally anything could have happened to the note that you can't determine through mere visual inspection (all the things I noted). That forces you through the awkward and painful flow of verifying each Kong note via NFC.

I don't see why verification via NFC would be any more difficult than using one of those counterfeit detector pens.
JDAMs apparently have had an inertial system for backup for some time. MEMS gyros are good enough to guide from release to target. DARPA has quietly been working on compact, low-cost guidance without GPS for a while.[1] Doesn't seem to have filtered down to the commercial market yet, and that's probably not an accident.

Paying for traffic to be prioritized is the exact opposite of net neutrality. No need to pay lip service to the idea then. The obvious danger here is that small indie studios may not be able to afford making enjoyable real-time multiplayer games.

How about improving public internet infrastructure instead?
True, but you should be able to verify a Kong note via an app on your phone pretty easily.
You make it sound like there's a tonne of FOSS community on-hand just waiting for the chance to step in and create a popular fork that will lead to fragmentation, when he's effectively been the sole maintainer since 2012 [1].

It's far more likely there will no future well maintained OSS forks, he'll continue developing it as a closed-source product, allowing end-users to install it for free but any company who wants access to his future source code and improvements can compensate him for it. This is a far better outcome than it turning it into abandonware where that will stop working in future macOS versions.

> software won't be available for public scrutiny.

It's a popular cliche to think all OSS projects have healthy development communities and many eyes pouring over it, but as he's the only person contributing fixes, the only way the product was going to improve is if he spends more time working on it which is more likely to happen if he can get sponsored to continue working on it.

None of your fears are likely to come to pass and the health of the project would be far worse off if he abandoned it.

Why do people feel the need to standardize these things?

Emoji used occasionally are fun and refreshing and can draw attention to important commits. Emoji used by default become line noise.

To paraphrase Goodhart’s Law, when a joke becomes a standard it ceases to be fun.

I also object to the details of the categorization. Some tags split up tasks that really should be done together (eg fixing bugs and updating tests, or adding features and writing docs) and some tags are duplicates (eg :art: and :recycle:).

I'm not sure if the signing process actually matters in this case? If the signing step is the limiting factor in maintaining a fork, he could have switched to the GPL and achieved the same result (commercial redistribution requiring a paid license) while maintaining the benefit of being open source.

> 1% of 1% (so .01%). Is refusing large bills an effective countermeasure? If so, then yeah — not really an issue. Our economy somehow grinds along just fine.

So refuse large Kong notes. Why would you assume the economy finds workarounds for cash but not this?

> In what sense? The whole idea here is that I can exchange a physical note to transact with someone.

Ya, and for most transactions you will. If you're suspicious, you can validate the physical devices using your phone. But for simple transactions with a moderate level of trust, you can accept cash. The same way you accept a $20 from a friend without buying a counterfeit detector pen to check it.
I'm not sure if the dev feels entitled for _compensation_ per se, but G and other companies don't contribute back to the project in any form. Not $ and not in code. Now that is not a very good thing... though technically that's exactly what you get with permissive O/S licenses. It looks like the dev realized that and changed the license.

It also doesn't look like he trusts this companies much, because otherwise he could've just slapped the Commons Clause on his existing license and be done with it. So he closed the source instead.

It seems like that would be more of a problem for the people who chose to pay less money and then can't find street parking than for the municipality. But if they really cared then they could just put parking meters on the street parking, priced such that it only gets 80-90% full instead of 110%.

Cmd+Ctrl+Space brings up the emoji palette on MacOS. This palette is easy to use from the keyboard and works in the terminal too.

Some MacBooks famously also have a TouchBar that makes emoji easy to type.

I can't remember the last time I had issues rendering emoji, and I have no idea why they'd be difficult to search for or how they would pose any accessibility issues.

This place seems a little less infuriating taken into context, much in the "zen" spirit of the article that you quote.

Ten years ago I used to find tech news from other forums. The two more popular were Reddit and Slashdot. Both had unfortunate trends that made discusion tiresome to follow. Reddit had those pun threads in which everybody seemed to compete to be the funniest guy in the room while Slashdot was the church of the Free Software and Saint IGNUtius.

It was as if in any conversation that you tried to have, a bunch of laughing teenagers making jokes, or a bunch of quasi-religious zealots took over. Hacker News on the other hand was the forum for YC startup founders, with a practical approach to the same subjects, so it was a welcome change.

Ten years later it has been slowly degrading. It's full of self-serious young people that instead of making tons of jokes, frown upon any attempt of humour and, instead of the classic FSF zealotry, we have the usual offline causes, trying to shame everybody into thinking "the right way". If you take this place as some kind of contest to defend the best ideas, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Such place doesn't exist. It's enough that there's a place where interesting ideas are at least presented as articles and some comments.

About the drugs discusion, there has been a couple of topics here that may explain the caution some of us have. One was modafinil. A few years ago a bunch of articles were posted telling wonders about it. A guy said that he had learnt quantum physics in an infamous article, other guy that his procrastination problems had disappeared thanks to the drug.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aycombinator.com+modafinil

You'll see that recent comments that appear in the search were starting to be negative. Modify the search to show last years results. There is none. That was a fad, people spent their money because what do you expect in a site like this where everybody wants to be more creative, smart and procrastinate less?

Similar things are being said now about hallucinogens. Most repeated line is that the experience is life changing. I dropped an acid more than 30 years ago. It was spectacular, but I wouldn't call it "life changing" and I haven't had the desire to repeat since. I don't feel like I have the right to recommend against it because "do as I say, not as I did" doesn't seem like honest advice. But I wouldn't tell anybody to do it, specially after I've seen three acquitances to lose their minds because they abused LSD.

Ketamine seems very promising. But it's illegal, unless you want to spend big dollars in it. The problem I see is: should we recommend a drug that will probably be acquired illegally and taken in unknown sets to a bunch of people that might be desperate to find something to cure chronic depression, burnout or blocking? I'm sure you understand what could go wrong. I know what I would do, but I know myself, I don't know what's in the minds of everybody reading HN, so I would be very catious to create false hopes and real risks.
I'm on edge whether the title is sensationalized or not... It does state the fact that it is illegal to do these. I would even see it as a better reflection of the current status then perhaps stating "Urban regulations prevent building these types of buildings."
Being able to use anylinux PyPI package is a huge benefit.
I like this more then semantic git because:

- same amount of chars to type

- single char / img to read (way faster)

- you can glance the commit log wall of text and still get a lot of info, not something you can do with other forms

I don't like textual representation tho (i.e. :zap: vs :feature: ) and if u watch log in systems that can't present images it might be actually harder to understand

That would be general yay

"Education" is necessary up to a certain point. In America, up to highschool education is free and for the most part required. Why draw the line at a bachelors degree? Should Masters and PhDs be free and partially required? Based on how I framed the question I assume that you can tell that I draw the line at highschool education. I can however see the argument for raising it to bachelor's. However I would expect the government to do much more than just give free money. Rather they would regulate it like they do to highschool. For example, required courses in English literature, American history, PE, and science. Mandatory attendance. Nationwide standardized tests. And others ... I personally am glad that I finish all of that in highschool and I now have the freedom to choose what and how I study.

But to respond to your point directly, degrees such as gender studies, art history, and English literature are certainly a luxury service that can be postponed or outright skipped.

I would say that ‘herbal tea’ is a valid term, but that whatever is a ‘herbal tea’ is generally not viewed as ‘a type of tea’, and rather, as ‘a type of herbal infusion’. ‘a type of tea’ is generally viewed as ‘type of tea plant and its dried leaves’.
Sure, as long they have an article on Wikipedia.
But they have much more stringent enforcement.

Some way to get height above terrain is required. One of the more game changing ways I've heard about is using specially shaped TEM mode launchers with thin single wires to transmit RF power up to a hovering quadcopter to be rectified. Glenn Elmore has published some articles about these surface wave transmission lines in the amateur radio magazine QEX (mirrors at: http://www.sonic.net/~n6gn/) and documented some 50w power tests on his youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/user/n6gnSWTL

I implemented a pair of these launchers designed for my 900 MHz "wifi" setup using a ubiquiti 900 MHz tranceiver running broadband hamnet firmware. It seemed to carry the signal to the antenna as well as a similar length of RG-6 coax. http://erewhon.superkuh.com/swtl_launcher_complete.jpg It was a little fragile and the connection to the SMA connector broke on one. Some day I need to resolder it and put one end up in a tree. Glenn's 2.5d metallized paper designs look much easier to build and more robust.
I discovered the first (surprisingly good) use case for keybase the other day -- Terraform encrypted outputs which you can configure by simply providing your keybase id. Extremely convenient. Perfectly joined the dots between a complicated but secure thing (you had to store sensitive state in S3 with server-side-encryption, which made it way too complicated to have sensitive data in a small side project) and the throwaway easy but very insecure thing (store the state locally/in a private git repo).

Of course, absolutely ZERO crossover between that kind of utility and this Stellar thing. I'd like them to find more life-improving nuggets of utility like that instead. Find more places in your life where you want something encrypted ad-hoc but don't want to memorise your GPG key ID. Any time someone would normally whisper to tell you something could be a candidate.
Because voice comms are typically used by hams in disaster response -- you pointed out that LoRa tops out at 140 bits, so I responded that that's still 3X faster than voice.

European cities have much higher population density, and the lower personal income (often via higher taxes and, ironically, worker protection laws) changes the tradeoff between driving and taking pub trans, so more people take the bus. The tradeoff is that a lot of people live in small boxes.

And european governments have plenty of bs job creation engines like roadwork, too.

Would be nice to have some data. One related observation, that seems less surprising the longer I live here, is that europe has no spacex, google, tesla, nasa, coherent mars rovers, the list goes on... if you give people stuff, they're mostly just afraid someone's going to take it away. But yeah, to echo someone else's comment, I'd rather be poor, or even average, in Europe. I guess being super wealthy here wouldn't be that bad either, since nobody's nipping at your heels.
First off I think this is terrible, people and companies that take part in these practices including the purchasers should be caught and punished. That being said, this reminds me of a story about people taking the pebbles from the island the ABBA movie Mama Mia was filmed and to some extent the planet Bethselamin in the book HHG2G.

For running network related debug tool: use nsenter (https://github.com/jpetazzo/nsenter/blob/master/README.md) which allows you to run network related tools using the network namespace of the container.

For simple shell access, use the :debug variant of distroless images which include a shell.

For more complex troubleshooting, I think other people has recommended many ways. I haven't had the need to do such troubleshooting but if I need to I would mount an image with necessary binaries into the container. This is where distroless becomes handy: I can mount a Debian image and don't worry about ABI compatibility.
You have to love the ECAM. On the Boeings, pre 787 at least, we were trained to configure first, look and make sure the flaps, slats, and gear actually extended, then pilot flying calls for the checklist. Do-and-read.

Of course, if you have malfunctions or you've got too much shit going on (non-normals, traffic, wx, you're sleepy and screwing up, one or both pilots are not performing well), it would be smart to slow the situation down and revert to read-and-do.

It sure is nice to have an obnoxious horn and also GPWS that will start screaming "Too low, gear!!" if the pilots press on without the wheels down.

Sadly, I fear Digia (and its owned spin-off, the Qt Company) will be the death of Qt:

Unlike Nokia, which bought Qt and opened it to a more liberal license (LGPLv2.1) because it saw it as a strategic platform basis to attract developers to its platform (that is, until the MS shill Elop was injected as Nokia's CEO and destroyed the company… and sold Qt off)…

… unlike Nokia, the Digia-owned "Qt Company" (now publicly traded as QT-COM on Nasdaq Helsinki) sees Qt as a direct revenue source to monetize to the maximum and developers as milk cows to maximally squeeze out as long as possible. And unlike Nokia, Digia's "Qt Company" does so in a quite unsustainable way. They enormously increased the prices of commercial licenses to a level that can only be qualified as extortion, and they do whatever possible to force developers out of LGPL and into Pay-to-Play:

they switched Qt's open source edition from LGPLv2.1 to LGPLv3… and they switched from LGPL to GPL or commercial only for most new modules, including QtQuick 3D.

The bottom line is: it's really going down the drain, and lots of developers of Qt-based programs and apps are drawn away and looking for something new. The need for a new modern and more liberally licensed cross-platform UI lib is bigger than ever.

Also, many devs are even switching out of Qt-based cross-platform development and back to separate codebases for OS-dependent native UI toolkits… which is kinda sad, though partly alleviated by some other factors (such as the similarities between Swift and Kotlin)
And it also contains lots of other symbols (non-emojis) easily accessible! How could I not know about this! Thanks.
