Absolutely, this is selective pressure at work on cells with malregulated genetics. Most typically, this is in the form of drug efflux pumps, but you can definitely get more specif…

If you use other students for that problem instead of other teachers, you'd swap a budgetary problem for a bootstrap problem. The upshot for this is that the benefit is as much for…

(Having not read the article), most likely because the cancer cells (at least at more advanced stages) are busy trying to replicate as fast as possible, so they take up nutrients a…

Sociomantic (bought by Dunhumby, now defunct IIRC) had a realtime advertisement business built in D. Weka have a realtime distributed filesystem written in D, used for ML/HPC workl…

It has an LLVM backend, LDC, that is separate from the LLVM project/Clang.

You might be thinking of Ubiquiti, who were exposed as blind eyeing the sanctions

That is dated Feb 2022. Do you know if anything came of it?

It works with arrays (both fixed size, and dynamically sized) and arrays; between arrays and elements; but not between two scalar types that don't overload opBinary!"~", so no it w…

This was essentially how DMD (the reference D compiler) was translated to D. However this was mostly a restricted subset of C++ common to both of them, e.g. no diamond inheritance,…

`private` is only private to the module, not the struct/class, (In other words, all functions in the same module are all C++ style `friend`s) and so free function in same module wo…

Hmmm, I wonder if you could turn this into a sport and have like one paper per year per group of total BS, and shame on the reviewers/conference/journal if they don't catch it, and…

azimuth is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head

Double entry accounting is still error prone, but single entry accounting is fraud prone.

* Brownian motion. "browning motion" sounds like a euphamism for something else...

54 minutes, but the Yogscast did one a while ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlTsW9rWE0o&pp=ygUbeW9nc2Nhc...

It is, because wavenumber and position are distinct variables and are orthogonal to each other. FT turn position into wavenumber (positional frequency) and wavenumber into negative…

FT is a 90 degree rotation not a 180, the FT of the FT of a function is the mirror image about the origin, not the function itself.

Wiki link says that was published in 2010, a lot has happened in the field in 13 years. That predates whole classes of immuno-theraputics like grafting B-Cell (cells that produce a…

not just a drunk, a cheap drunk.

It won't work for liquid tumours (i.e. blood cancers) since they "metastasise" to the whole vein/artery network. Cancers in the brain/lungs/bone, unlikely, since the speed of sound…

> Cons - Sound waves can only penetrate a few centimeters into the body. For an Air -> flesh medium interface. I'd be very surprised if they didn't couple this to gel to have gel -…

You don't need those voting for the bill to act in good faith if you have as part of the system of passing bills that the opposition gets to write the (adversarial part of the) tes…

Yes, compulsory voting is great, it removes a bunch of pathologies of democracy, to name a few: electioneering is about making people vote for me and not for others and not trying …
