Apropos of your fascinating paper, a second-hand observation from a friend's current experience (https://mastodon.social/@mmalc/114547467430175564):

Although he's getting superb cancer treatment, all symptoms etc. seem to be viewed through lens of oncology, and care for other issues may be sub-par.

This led to delayed treatment for sepsis a couple of weeks ago, and belated discovery of abscesses in the past couple of days.

So even though tumours actually reduced, so too is "comfort" and overall condition.

The other was the first "iPhoneOS developer tutorial".

I was primarily responsible for sample code, however:

A veteran NeXT developer emailed SJ complaining that there wasn't any documentation explaining how to create iPhoneOS apps with Interface Builder etc. The email "made its way" to DevPubs, and a plea went out to the team. I had the first draft ready for publication the next morning. Not just a step-by-step tutorial, but also conceptual explanation.

#ScribesAndMakers Two different domains:

This is from a long time ago; I was the primary organiser for the conference that gave rise to the volume, and typeset the whole thing myself. That involved:
* Hand-editing several Postscript files where contributors had combined several images into one
* Changing all the US spelling to British English

Well, also very selfishly, I hope Newsom bans the export of produce from California so that we can benefit from our own farms whilst there are still enough workers to keep them running
