The Annual #GoogleIO Puzzle (#io23puzzle) is live at io.google/2023/puzzle/

I've managed to complete the puzzle, but it won't reveal the final dates until more people complete it.

@NerdGirlInVR have you completed the puzzle yet?

in reply to Nick Moline

WAY above my skill level! 🤣🤣🤣 They always come up with a fun puzzle, from my second hand experience...😝

Will you be coming to I/O this year?

Do you want to display a Mastodon account's public posts filtered by hashtag?

There's a way to do it using their profile page's web address:

1. Go to the account's original page on the web (more info: fedi.tips/what-are-original-pa…)
2. Add /tagged/(hashtag, but without the #) on the end of the original page's web address

So, for example, if you wanted to see posts on my account tagged with #Pixelfed the address would be:

mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/…

I didn't know there was a Devil in the White City series in the works...and now it's dead? Maybe? Lots of boldfaced names were attached to this project: DiCaprio, Scorsese, Keanu Reeves, Todd Field, Jude Law, Jeremy Allen White. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-ne…

There was a special edition of the book brought out just to trumpet ‘Starring DiCaprio in the forthcoming feature film’ nearly ten years ago, so it must have been through some iterations.

@buffer why does your scheduling keep changing youtu.be links to the mobile .m version? It's very annoying.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Something, maybe your client, is following your link and replacing it with the target url. Whatever that thing is I think it's posing as a mobile browser, so YouTube is returning it as a mobile link. Find out what that thing is and change its user-agent string, I guess?

I am involved in a project where we need a solution for manual #annotation of the contents of patient medical records stored in an #XML format.
Which #tool can help do this, or does such a tool even exist?
More details: datascience.stackexchange.com/…
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

If you have a fixed format for the patient records, you can write a DFDL description of that format and then a description of the fields you want to add. Various tools including Daffodil (open source) or commercial (e.g., from IBM) can perform transformation on the records to go from the old to the new formats. Schemas for your records may already exist (e.g., if they are HIPAA-5010 already): see github.com/orgs/DFDLSchemas/re… and there is a tutorial on DFDL at ogf.org/dfdl
This entry was edited (2 years ago)
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill I am not completely sure what fixed format means here. It is in a well-defined XML format called FNUX: medcom.dk/medcom-in-english/st…, but it is only used in a Danish context. It is not fixed in the sense that many fields are optional and there can be arbitrary numbers of certain fields.
They are in a process of modernising data formats to HL7 FHIR, which I know almost nothing about yet. I don't think I would be able to get data in that format yet.
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

You're in luck! Medcom's software is based on HL7 standards for which DFDL schema and tools already exist. IBM has tools to do this as described at ibm.com/docs/en/integration-bu… and ot4i.github.io/dfdl-hl7-tutori… and Medcom software seems already set up to handle metadata. By "annotation" I was assuming you meant "adding more fields to the record" which is why I suggested transformation, but you might be able to use these existing tools to handle the annotation you need. Reach out if you need help.

in reply to Alan Sill

This looks useful if you want to go the Medcom route: github.com/orgs/medcomdk/repos…
If it were me, I'd start by talking to them about what you want to do. We can also handle new tools and schema development if needed (see nsfcac.org) if there's something you want to do that isn't handled by existing (e.g., Medcom or IBM) tools. Let us know if you need help.
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill when you suggest NSFCAC, I get the impression you mean in a US context? I work at a university in Denmark, so I am not sure this would apply to me?
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

Probably not. I can try to find you an equivalent center in Europe to help. Would Switzerland be okay?
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill I guess it's always worth investigating. I don't know if the caveat that Switzerland is not in the EU might play a role.
I really appreciate your suggestions.
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

I know an expert in DFDL at IBM in the UK -- also not in the EU any more! Too many boundaries these days. Will DM you some contact info so you can ask them about what you are doing. (Please be sure to provide the background.)
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill sounds really promising. Are you referring to the HL7 FHIR format Medcom say they are working on? Because I only have the data in their older FNUX format and AFAIK I cannot obtain it in any other format.
By annotation I mean that for each field in the FNUX file (in principle but in practice only some fields), I need to add a field associated with it, holding a comment or predefined code.
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

@AlanSill each such associated field enables a physician to state: "the contents of this field are important to a diagnosis this patient has", "the contents of this field are unrelated to the diagnosis of interest", or something along those lines.
On top of that, I will need to provide a GUI to allow physician annotators to read the contents of the FNUX file and enter the annotations alongside.
in reply to arildsen@fosstodon.org moved

Most of the information on FNUX I can find on the web seems to come from Denmark and to be several years old. These links seem to have useful information: isfteh.org/files/media/Medcom.… and researchgate.net/publication/2… but just confirm the existence and usefulness of FNUX. I am not an expert in these formats, but any time you are looking to add fields to a data format, you will either need to find an existing capability w/the standard for that field or extend the format using tools like mentioned.
in reply to Alan Sill

@AlanSill I also have the impression from MedCom that the existing FNUX format is not being developed any further and that it is going to be replaced by more modern standards.
I am not hell-bent on the FNUX format if I can just convert it to something else useful for my annotation end goal.
My main goal here is to find a useful annotation tool and as long as I can find a way to coerce the data from FNUX into it, that will suffice.

video says back paddles on 8bitdo ultimate are not supported on steamdeck. But my understanding is that this support is enabled in the new 6.1 linux kernel that's in the beta channel. Or have you confirmed that they still don't work in the beta?
