This is funny to me because it also looks just like Plausible Analytics' design. (They also used Tailwind). I guess both took heavy inspiration from the tailwind example design https://plausible.io

It actually stands for Han Ah Reum (한아름), meaning roughly "an armful of groceries" according to Wikipedia.

I'm not sure. It's because the streets are made of multiple segments ("ways" in OSM terms), which are being counted separately. I think the query would need to join connected segments to get a true number of streets.

If anyone wants to make a similar map in their own city or with a different street name, you can use Overpass Turbo to query OpenStreetMap data for this. Just comparing the maps visually, they seem to match. [1] [out:json][timeout:25];

I recently started a tech meetup [1] in my small city (Charlottesville, VA), and was surprised at the amount of interest! One tip for finding a space, try your public library! Mine has plenty of meeting rooms that can be booked for free. I

And if you did want something closer, Hetzner offers USA based vCPU options that are still quite affordable compared to DO. There's a 4GB option for 9 Euros. I recently migrated my personal projects from DO to Hetzner for this reason

I think you may have misinterpreted the parent comment. "Complement" as in a complementary good in economics terms. Not "complimentary", as in free. There's a good article on this by Joel Spolsky https://

For this particular device, there were 40 devices in the ancestry tree. While certainly feasible to traverse a graph of 40 PDFs and keep track of these relationships, it would probably take more than 5 minutes. Additionally, not having the

I recently did a writeup [1] on the 510(k) FDA clearance process (which cleared this device for market). Basically this device was cleared through a DAG of other devices that were "substantially equivalent". I made a website to vi

This is why I can't really trust LLMs for data tasks like this. I can't really be certain that it won't be hallucinating results

There are kind of branches already (other layers have different styles [1]), but this debate is over the default layer style, which appears on first page load of openstreetmap.org [1]: Transport Map Layer https://www.openstreet

Totally agree on the device dependence. Sometimes I'll navigate a route a few times with GPS and then try to find my way there without it, just to learn the route. I was thinking it would be cool to make an app that helps you learn nav

I'm mostly an "armchair mapper", but I actually find adding details from satellite imagery to be really fun. It's kind of like a nerdy version of paint-by-number.

That's a good idea, I'd certainty like to incorporate population into this, since it would help contextualize the population density.

Hey everyone! I recently saw an article [1] about a hospital merger (Ballad Health) in southwest Virginia and how it increased ER wait times. I thought an interesting visualization would be to see who owns the hospital "territory"

I was thinking it might be interesting to show a map of regions to the closest hospital, and color code it by the operator, like ballad health = red, banner health = green, etc. I'll see if OpenStreetMap has this data available

Totally agree! When I started my blog my motivation was to write about my projects so that I would actually finish them, but I've found that an added benefit is that I write "defensively" in a way that makes me fact check mys

I do use this resource for 510k.fyi to populate the device and recall data, but unfortunately it does not contain the 510(k) summaries, or even links to them. The web scraping was still required to get those documents so that I could run OC

Author here! I was legitimately considering building an iPhone OCR farm for this based on this article about running OCR on memes [1]. Haven't tried it in practice, but the article claims it has better performance than tesseract. [1]:

Author here, thank you! My understanding is that with pharmaceuticals, new drugs must always go through clinical trials to prove safety and effectiveness before the FDA approves them for public use, so there's not really an equivalent

That's a good idea! There's actually a paper [1] that does something very similar with the "device description" and "indications for use" sections. They use Word2Vec on these sections and compare similarity. Fi

Hi, author here! I think my main concern with this process is that the predicate itself might never have gone through clinical trials. So even if the new device works as well as the predicate, that predicate might be equivalent to a whole c

I'd love to take a look, do you have a link? I couldn't find any bulk downloads for this, but that would definitely be useful!

I'm not super familiar with the regulatory landscape in Europe, but I did find this article [1] while I was researching for this project. I believe the EU has a similar pathway (in the EU Medical Device Regulation) for new devices rely
