The Wikipedia article linked notes that previous trials for this drug against Ebola (which were not as successful as other treatments) had established a "safety profile." Hopefully that applies to its use here as well.

My extremely modern recommendation for those feeling like they have no good sources: have y'all tried reading more blogs? I still read Stereogum (which recently went independent again after being owned by Billboard) and Pitchfork. I st

As someone who has a noncommercial side project and has been using SendGrid's free 100/day plan, I'm actually thinking of switching to this. I've always been a bit concerned with what would happen if my app got a sudden

I've been following the Vue + TypeScript progress on and off for the past couple years (ever since I converted a React project to Vue and threw out TS in the process, since it was just so fundamentally incompatible with Vue's APIs

I really like the idea of this! Potentially quite helpful for the GraphQL space, I think, since these query files could map 1:1 with resolvers (if I understand GraphQL correctly). I've been working on a Node+TypeScript web app on and o

Huh, I came _very_ close to doing it, but saw enough negative reviews to put me off. To be fair, most of them seemed to be people who had bad experiences in the shared (hostel) sleepers, though, most of which seemed to not really be the fau

Excited about this idea. I wanted to do an overnight train in a Europe trip I did last year, but the timing and quality never quite worked out. A lot of the time, trains between cities in western Europe are annoyingly long for a day trip, b

Postmark has the most interesting credit IMO, even if it's not a particularly huge one: > Postmark - If you’ve launched your product, are charging for it, and haven’t taken outside investment, contact the Postmark support team and t

I suppose I could also use DO's Spaces, which is S3-compatible, though also has an annoying minimum (I do not need the 250 gigs you get for $5/mo) https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/

That's kind of fair. I've been doing some thinking since posting this, and I've been sort of debating what a "reasonable $5/mo version" of this would be. The more I think about what managed database services us

I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed by the pricing. It doesn't seem any cheaper than AWS's managed SQL offering (through Lightsail), nor cheaper than Cloud SQL. I'm trying to run a side project at a low rate, which

Ah yes, "useless" subway lines that carry [checks notes] 5.6 million trips a day. I'd rather have money go towards our public transit system, no matter how fucked up it is at the moment, than spend another cent on bringing te

Sure, and apologies for the harshness in my original post. My main complaint about the marketing landing page at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/ is that it doesn't contain any immediate information about the d

The state of App Engine environments seems super confusing, but I _think_ this uses the "second generation standard environment" like the Python 3.7 and Node 8 beta environments, which means that unlike App Engine of Yore, you hav

Uh, as a frontend developer, I am kind of _shocked_ I've never read this before. There's a lot of fascinating parallels to modern web development. zitterbewegung noted the similarity to complaints about Electron apps' memory

This was my immediate question too. Microsoft offers a service called CodePush ( https://microsoft.github.io/code-push/ ) for React Native and Cordova apps that presumedly could get caught by this. I don't have enou

In case anyone was curious, the logged-in app remains basically the same, but that's not a complaint or anything. Been using Sentry for several months on a personal project and absolutely love it; dig the new look on the marketing side
