Of these the PD-L1 and MABs are the most advanced, a number with FDA approvals and used as standard of care for a few cancers. Side effects can be nasty but often controlled by backing off the treatment or steroids (most problems are the im

It is a such tiny thing, but I really like that the metadata service is at fd00:ec2::254 On v4 it is 169.254.169.254 hence the final 254 (and other services like DNS at 253), but using the ULA range of ec2 is a simple, effective touch.

Melanoma treatments have come a long way in the last decade. Immunotherapy is a game changer for so many people, and I’m excited to see these mRNA trials.

OT, but as a page on “Literary Hub” the typos in this really do my head in and kept dragging me out of the details. Hared instead of hated? Tide instead of title? Was this voice recognition or OCR or something?

Edit: I’m not dignifying this junk with a real reply. If you have any doubt, see a professional. Don’t trust this crap.

Beans produced for supermarkets or chains use the “best before” because it is a relatively long time. The beans might not taste their best but they are safe to use. Speciality roasters will print a roast date. James Hoffman just made a vide

I think it will be interesting to see how some of the companies in Australia with head offices in the US go over the next year. There are signs from the FANG (well “GA” here, the rest effectively don’t exist) will push for people back in of

To your “note 1” ASIC might strongly disagree with that. Insolvency and directorships don’t go well together. It sounds like things are a mess, but also see how they are doing on compulsory super (SG) payments. The ATO can get punchy if the

I see that domain and immediately I’m back in the conference room at Usenix 2000 watching dugsong perform wizardry with dsniff during his lightning talk. Standing ovation. So good. A lifetime ago.

Could you describe what you mean by a distributed SQL database? I don’t think RDS would generally fit that concept as I understand it. Aurora’s data store possibly but you choose to use that specifically.

There are a number of credit cards in Australia that do not charge annual fees. Many require being linked to an active transaction account, but not all. They generally don't have any kind of linked reward points structure, but that&#x2

I only just noticed this reply - many apologies. Yes, that's the one! Our fix was explicitly deleting the copy constructor. In essence a one-liner for us, but you can't see the iceberg of an issue beneath the surface. Thanks once

Implementing a simple filesystem using the Linux VFS interface is a fun thing to do. You can start by implementing the bare minimum and then add more functions over time. Yes, it is C, not Rust, but for systems work it is absolutely worth k
