> ... a fixed rate loan has rated based on expectations over the lifetime of the loan (both in terms of value of money and risk of loss.)

Is that accurate to say? Because I don't think so.

It seems more accurate to say mortgage rates for fixed loans are set by the cost of money at purchase / loan-initiation time.

Which makes sense, as that's when funds are actually changing hands (from purchaser's lender to seller).

And ultimately, that's banks' cost of money, which means then-current Fed rate + spread, no?

I thought it’s a common wisdom that you don’t use the system interpreter, be it Perl or Python or whatever: it’s usually too old, incomplete, as is there to serve the OS’s own tooling and not you. The most you can use it for is the simplest of scripts or to bootstrap the real thing.

Apple says in the future you shouldn’t even rely on any scripting runtimes being there by default at all.
Once I broached this subject with a developer at a start-up that developed totally separate native apps for iOS and Android. I queried him about the use of native apps, and he made the point that you do whatever it takes to keep your users happy.

This was a startup. Not a billion dollar company. When your app is used by millions, it's a worthwhile investment.

It's also hardly boring to achieve the same end result on multiple platforms by using appropriate native code for each. Particularly when it produces satisfyingly fluid and responsive end results. Perhaps an engineer that considers it boring is in the wrong field. A UI developer should get satisfaction from developing UIs, not as it being a stepping stone to get into systems development. I can't think of anything more boring in app development than developing an app which operates in a mediocre way.

A carefully planned native app for each platform can still share parts of the same codebase, you're not necessarily reinventing the wheel each time.

> You are making an argument with no limiting principle, because it's poorly thought out and shallow, and it shows.

It wasn’t poorly thought out. Our system sucked but was sustainable before the unvaxxed group decided to eschew medical prevention for this disease. Now it sucks _and_ is unsustainable.

Any argument you bring out that doesn’t recognize that the situation has changed due to covid, that also points out other health problems as a reason to not react to the change caused by covid, is poorly thought out.

If any self inflicted problem causes our healthcare system to tip over we should react to it.

People refusing the covid vaccination have tipped over the system. People getting type II diabetes have not

I do like that the CEOs of both GE aviation and United were on the flight. I respect dog fooding.
Yes I'd love for a new license to exist and join that, but with 2-3 alterations; a bit like how with copyright you have the CC and multiple alternatives.

So for all, as the author in this case, limit the ability to just host the project itself and charge for it. People would still be able to modify the software and use that themselves, and share the modified code/fixes, or contribute upstream. I'd argue that this still follows the ideals of open source/free software, just avoiding abuse in 2022.

Then for some other projects, just no forks. With this variant, you can only modify it for yourself and cannot publish modified/derivative projects. This is IMHO no longer in the spirit of free software, but users can still read the code, modify it themselves and fix bugs, which is waaay better than current proprietary code.

> Sixth-edition Unix, released in 1975, was the first widely used version of the operating system. It included a number of other core Unix concepts, including the hierarchical filesystem, devices represented as files, a programmable shell, regular expressions, and more.

Probably old news but fascinating all the same - clearly it was a simpler time.
Ok, we've put one engine in the title above.

The article title doesn't have this issue because it clearly says "Supplying One Of Its Engines". I wonder if they added after getting criticized or if it was there all along.

Yes, the city admins of a 17K person township misinterpreted an arcane piece of law. Also, they were idiotic for assuming that the fact that he has no real responsibilities means it's NBD to not swear him in.

All of that is granted.

The reasonable resolution to this case would have been for him to reply-all to the original email and insist on being sworn in anyways. I have a suspicion that this didn't happen, and that this guy is making a big deal over nothing for the sake of a social media following.

This is exactly backwards from reality. The groups you mentioned are at much higher risk from covid and ergo it is much more important to vaccinate. The risk in absolute terms will remain much higher even with vaccination but this is a poor reason not to vaccinate. The reason you vaccinate is the degree of risk mitigated not the expectation of reducing that risk to zero.

There isn't a great reason. It's just that the people who set the policy wanted to prevent lateral attacker movement at all costs. The VMs and the enterprise applications are in the same building, but no longer have network connectivity because they don't routinely communicate (in the past, a VM would make an outbound TCP connection only after an SRE decided that a problem existed).

Operations engineers are engineers, just as much as other engineers. But when you’re discussing the subgroup (opseng) in specific and whether it’s a member of the overall group (engineers), it’s logical and appropriate in conversational English to refer to the subgroup by specific label, as the comment you’re replying to does.

Women can be sexed at birth as female, male, intersex, neither; women can have genes for XX, XY, XXY, etc; women can have zero or more genitalia; women can have masculine, feminine, androgynous, mixed facial bone structures.

Each of these is a valid subgroup of women which can, if necessary, be described as a subgroup. Normally, just “women” should suffice, but the app linked by this post actively excludes at least one of those subgroups from the label “women”. So it becomes necessary to discuss those subgroups by name, such as “trans women” and “black women”, in order for discourse to occur.
Your comment seems to rooted in your dislike of Rust, rather than provide any technical arguments.

The Rust tooling certainly was the best, no question. As the Mozilla WASM devs have moved on the WASM tooling has stagnated, sadly, and The C++ tooling has caught up.

Languages like C# and Go are inherently worse for WASM because they require GC and have big runtimes they have to bring along.

I don't know, the theoretical power an auditor holds is too much IMHO for someone that doesn't understand government and believes they should do almost nothing. I can easily see how such an auditor can block things ( e.g. saying they'll refuse to certify accounts if money is spent on a new park because for them, parks should be built by benevolent rich people or citizens pooling money or run for profit, and the government doing that is an egregious waste of taxpayer money and bureaucracy).

Key points

> 113,845 (71.3%) regular ivermectin users and 45,716 (23.3%) non-users

> In the absence of contraindications, ivermectin was offered as an optional treatment to be taken for two consecutive days every 15 days at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day. In cases where a participating citizen of Itajaí became ill with COVID-19, they were recommended not to use ivermectin or any other medication in early outpatient treatment

> There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate (44 versus 99 hospitalizations among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively; RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.31-0.63; p < 0.0001). After adjustment for residual variables, reduction in hospitalization rate was 67% (RR, 0.33; 95% CI, 023-0.66; p < 0.0001).

> Missing data from patients were clarified with patients or relatives directly, via phone or in person, by the investigators. Since this is a citywide program, all recorded data must have matched the exact number of COVID-19 cases and deaths of the city.

> An important conservative bias was present. Major risk factors for severe COVID-19 and mortality due to COVID-19, including aging, diabetes, and hypertension, were more present among ivermectin users, which may have underestimated the benefits of ivermectin

The only questionable part of this I can find is a small unfounded semi negative comment about vaccines near the end.

> lack of effectiveness of vaccines in real-life all-cause mortality analyses to date

Vaccines correlate with 5.6x reduction in hospitalization and 12x reduction in ICU cases in Ontario as of today (Jan 22 2022) so not sure where that comes from.

However their results still seem pretty clear that ivermectin helps.

I'm curious if ivermectin and vaccines compound in effectiveness. 2x effective prevention could speed things up a lot.

Some forms of libertarians, especially in the US, overlap almost to being identical with anarcho-capitalists, which is a type of anarchism. Libertarian can mean a lot of different things depending on the person, but few of them seem appropriate for government office.
Really it nets to < 0, because there will always be a bunch of fuel sitting around waiting to be burned basically acting as captured carbon. This just doesn't accumulate over time so it's perhaps not really worth taking into account unless it is a massive amount of carbon.
Their fuels burn the same as conventional fuels (that seems to be the point). The fuel needs carbon to have the right properties and when you burn it, the carbon atoms have to go somewhere. CO2 is the best option, carbon monoxide and soot are worse.

It sounds like the change is not how it burns, but how the feedstocks are generated. If the carbon is being pulled from the air (instead of the ground) at the start, then the overall process can be "low life-cycle carbon emissions relative to fuels from crude oil" (from the bioforming link).
