How we built it: Running Replay on Temporal
I’d been at Temporal for less than two weeks when my first major project landed: help architect and build a conference-level registration system for Replay on Temporal. Not just a registration form. A full ecommerce system with email, coupons, T-shirts, swag items, workshops, and a lot of PII to encrypt in the database. Time to roll up my sleeves, get into the thick of it, and absorb knowledge from folks with years of Temporal experience.

Even after the government’s aviation crackdown, Australia will lag behind on flyers’ rights
When it comes to consumer protections for airline passengers, Australia has long been dragging its feet. The limited protections we do have rely heavily on the general Australian Consumer Law. The “consumer guarantees” provided in this law only require services to be delivered in the arguably vague framework of a “reasonable time”. That might be okay if we’re just getting a sofa delivered from a furniture retailer. The cost of a late delivery is low.

hdps: A suite of commands for applying high-dimensional propensity-score approaches
Resumen Large healthcare databases are increasingly used for research investi- gating the effects of medications. However, a key challenge is capturing hard-to- measure concepts (often relating to frailty and disease severity) that can be cru- cial for successful confounder adjustment. The high-dimensional propensity score has been proposed as a data-driven method to improve confounder adjustment within healthcare databases and was developed in the context of administrative claims databases.
