Any recommendation on how I could improve my submission? Sorry for giving the impression that this was a spam but without any possibility to contact the user @ryes, I figured this was the only way to get any answers. swurl was awesome btw.
Hi, don't know where to cry about this but I was using this swurl.com (its author should be https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ryes) as my daily search engine replacement. And just today I've found out it stopped working. Was it abandoned or was it sold or what has happened? It was so cool. Now I have to go back to google.
My related story: we have door phone system in our apartment house and I wanted to get a notification whenever our flat got buzzed. I hacked the phone in our flat - attached a circuit directly to the wires leading to the coil of the buzzer and through arduino to the pc. Then I stitched together some code utilizing firebase to send notifications. Worked like a charm until google began to require credit cards for the free stuff.
I got hospitalized once with the suspicion of having TIA but it turned out to be migraine with aura. I had those since I was a kid but never so intense (part of vision going poof!). I identified that the trigger is intensive smells (like vinegar for example).
Tangent to this: there was an airline accident when the service crew used transparent tape instead of the reflective silver tape somewhere on the belly of the plane (or wings, I don't remember). Then when the pilot was doing preflight inspection at night with a torchlight, the spot with the transparent tape was not visible to him. This was an error on the ground crew side.
Can you elaborate how there is no need for hardware changes?
Are you connecting through the earpiece somehow?
Some time ago I hacked our flat intercom. I needed to have a text message delivered when the intercom rang (we use it to open door to the building), I had to tap to it with an arduino.
This interesting for me from the standpoint of shared controllers. What is the general idea behind this? Did you write a driver that would fake these controllers on the 'server'? What platforms have you covered? I'm into massively local multiplayer game and was always toying with ideas on how to reliably connect as much controllers as possible into a game.
I tried to google for libm.so (standard C library of basic mathematical functions). I typed it straight into the address bar expecting my browser to search for this term using google so I didn't expect it to be valid URL. Lucky me.
If we omit the batteries, there have been electric buses since forever - trolley buses. They come also in hybrid variants too to serve more distant bus stops.
