I need time to try this out for real, but the simplicity/power ratio here looks like it could be pretty extraordinary. Very exciting!

Tiny remark for @kentonv if you're reading: it looks like you've got the wrong code sample immediately following the text "Putting it together, a code sequence like this".

Ugh, looks like a copy-pasto when moving the blog into the CMS, will get that fixed, thanks.

The code was supposed to be:

    let namePromise = api.getMyName();
    let result = await api.hello(namePromise);

    console.log(result);

The Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, University of Oxford | Hybrid or Fully Remote, UK only | Full-time | Multiple Roles

https://www.bennett.ox.ac.uk/about-us/

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Professor Ben Goldacre (of “Bad Science” fame). We built OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, it is used to produce ground-breaking research using a huge corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else in the world.

We’re hiring for software developers at all levels, as well as tech lead and product management roles.

Tools we use include Python (and Django), Javascript (and React), Docker, Postgres, SQLite and HTMX. Our entire platform is open-source: https://github.com/opensafely-core

For details of the specific roles and how to apply see: https://www.bennett.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/

I was one of the principal engineers working on this. Happy to answer questions.

Hey thanks for this work, genuinely found it really useful! If you have any comments or feedback on our summary of it let me know- we've added thoughts and comments from authors on other papers

Its use in MS involves injecting it into the muscle, whereas this trial was using nebulisers to deliver it directly to the lungs so I don't think looking at MS patients would tell us anything useful.

But, as a general point, this is exactly the sort of question people should be asking about proposed treatments, as we've done recently for inhaled corticosteroids: https://twitter.com/OpenSafely/status/1277989037446438912

> Actually, if your parents are married and even one is a US citizen, you will be too, always.

Interestingly it's even more subtle than this: you can be a US citizen, but if you haven't spent enough time living in the US (for a definition of "enough" when years spent as a child count for more) then your citizenship doesn't automatically pass on to your children.

> Note that exercising this claim yourself will permanently disqualify you from government clearances at all levels.

Can you elaborate a bit more on this? Is it something specific to German law? A relative of mine who holds both US and UK citizenship worked for the US government and later for the UK government and was granted elevated security clearances in both roles.

Both the US and UK are Five Eyes countries [1], Germany isn't.

It's possible that they may be able to grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis; this is strictly based on my lawyer's interpretation of the clearance process.

In general, the theory is that I could potentially have travelled to Iran, Cuba, North Korea, etc. on my German passport, and the US government would never know.

Since I personally sought out these rights, I have also demonstrated "insufficient loyalty to the United States", which is a second strike against me.

Finally, I am not willing to renounce either citizenship, which is yet another.

Despite the name, Senior Executive Officer is a pretty low grade within the UK Civil Service.

I believe it's the last-but-one release to support Python 2. Django 1.11 LTS (scheduled for release April 2017) is planned to be the final 2-compatible version. https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions

It's also worth checking out Handsontable: https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable

I've not used their pro version but the free MIT Licensed is really excellent.

Agreed. Handsontable is an amazing library, and I'm so glad that the author was able to take it "Pro" and get paid for all of his hard work.

For a great use-case of handsontable, everyone's favorite HN'er wrote a great blog post last year: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/01/28/design-and-implementatio...

If you like Handsontable, you may also be interested in Sensei Grid[0], a similar, but much simpler data grid component. It doesn't aim to be a spreadsheet/excel alternative, but just a data grid with good usability.

I second that. Having a very good experience with handsontable and planning to buy pro version more out of gratitude than for extra features

This is amazing. I interpret it as a clever and hilarious parody of what GMail has actually become.
