“ In its closed financial system, exporters must surrender their foreign earnings to the central bank, which creates equivalent RMB to mop up the foreign currencies. This led to the rapid expansion of RMB liquidity in the economy, mostly in the form of bank loans. ”

Can anyone explain this to me? My interpretation is the central bank exchanges exporter’s foreign currency for RMB. How does it become bank loans?

I tend to check the error handling capabilities of a language to see how expressive and easy it is to return errors. I personally prefer result types over optionales (e.g. the mentioned added context instead of a nothing). It seems that zigs shoots in the middle here. I like the implicit errors shown but also feel that the lack of context isn’t great. What is missing for me is chaining and a simple message. That being said I‘m also not super happy how rust manages errors. At the moment I write my tools and crates with „thiserror“ and „anyerror“ which also illustrates how errors most of the times are uses. I say most since it really depends. In libraries I tend to introduce an error type per bigger module. And wrap low level errors so it results in a chain of errors (similar how Java does it with their exceptions) This gives me the most context and a kind of breadcrumb. I hate when you execute something and a naked IO error ala „Permission Error“ is returned. But this all means a lot of extra code that starts to hide the simple implementation under the hood. For simple apps where any error means „Sorry I‘m out of luck“ I use anyerror to not write custom FromError implementations. Again this all illustrates a bit that I‘m not super happy in rust. But I actually never encountered an error system which can keep it simple and fast. The Zig examples are nearly there though! Just the missing error context …
The purpose of science publications is to share new results with other scientists, so others can build on or verify the correctness of the work. There has always been an element of “receiving credit” to this, but the communication aspect is what actually matters from the perspective of maximizing scientific progress.

In the distant past, publication was an informal process that mostly involved mailing around letters, or for a major result, self-publishing a book. Eventually publishers began to devise formal journals for this purpose, and some of those journals began to receive more submissions than it was feasible to publish or verify just by reputation. Some of the more popular journals hit upon the idea of applying basic editorial standards to reject badly-written papers and obvious spam. Since the journal editors weren’t experts in all fields of science, they asked for volunteers to help with this process. That’s what peer review is.

Eventually bureaucrats (inside and largely outside of the scientific community) demanded a technique for measuring the productivity of a scientist, so they could allocate budgets or promotions. They hit on the idea of using publications in a few prestigious journals as a metric, which turned a useful process (sharing results with other scientists) into [from an outsider perspective] a process of receiving “academic points”, where the publication of a result appears to be the end-goal and not just an intermediate point in the validation of a result.

Still other outsiders, who misunderstand the entire process, are upset that intermediate results are sometimes incorrect. This confuses them, and they’re angry that the process sometimes assigns “points” to people who they perceive as undeserving. So instead of simply accepting that sharing results widely to maximize the chance of verification is the whole point of the publication process, or coming up with a better set of promotion metrics, they want to gum up the essential sharing process to make it much less efficient and reduce the fan-out degree and rate of publication. This whole mess seems like it could be handled a lot more intelligently.
Boston and Cambridge’s transit is deteriorating rapidly. I used to live in East Cambridge and regularly visited Harvard and Kenmore. I watched as both trips ballooned in time due to longer headways and speed restrictions on the train. The buses also never seem to be on time during 8-10AM and 5-7PM. I soon came to the realization it’s significantly quicker, and more predictable, for me to bike than to take the bus or train for most trips nowadays.

To add to that, the rate of car ownership has actually been increasing here, although I should acknowledge Boston’s percentage of young professionals is greater than in previous decades. Also, our MBTA ridership is still below pre-pandemic levels

Buy an East Asian style rice cooker and you’ll have hands-off low effort carbs for the rest of your life.

Cook dried pasta in a pot of boiling water. Season it with oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan or any vegitarian/vegan alternative. That’s two options for your calories in a low-effort hurry.

If you want to cook nice food for yourself, I recommend Marcella Hazan’s “The essentials of classic Italian cooking”. Her recipes can be scaled to 1 or 2 servings quite easily.

Many of her sauces freeze well in silicone ice cube trays for big cocktail ice cubes. This means you can take advantage of an economy of scale by cooking a batch and freezing a lot of it into portions which you can reheat on the hob in a few minutes.

Well… this applies to a lot of homemade sauces but I like hers a lot.
"The most basic and easy form of food preparation" is still food preparation; declaring that something is the simplest thing in its category does not actually make anything in that category bearable. Look through the thread, there are many people like this who are perhaps capable of cooking but who loathe it or otherwise can't make themselves do it. I for one am perfectly capable of cooking complex meals for twelve people, but good god the only reason I ever arrange to put food into my face just so that my meat continues to function is because I would die if I didn't. The time pressure on it is especially loathsome (if I don't eat in a certain window, I no longer have the energy it would take to force myself to eat); you can lie there and just feel the window of opportunity for this annoying task slipping away.

By the way, asking someone whether they're mentally unwell because they think differently from you is generally considered impolite.

I just moved out of a metro area to about 20 miles out of town and have been running these numbers. How you calculate time is something few people talk about but seems incredibly relevant to this calculation.

I'm an independent hourly consultant so my time has a literal dollar rate, but only if I would be working vs whatever activity is in question.

Assuming I 1: have work available I can contribute quality work to in the time allotted and 2: that I actually would be doing that work in this time slot are two things that rarely match up with when I'm doing personal activities that require transit. One obvious exception is going to or from a client site during the workweek, but with a phone hotspot I can start billing on the bus. Something I can't do driving.

If 1 and 2 above are not both true then my hourly rate is not at all my billed rate and is instead some subjective measure of value. I have yet to determine if that measure of value is best expressed in dollars. So far I'm beginning to think it isn't. Instead, reversed feels better. "Is it worth X dollars to not have to carry my groceries home on a bus?"
Great, what could possibly go wro..

> For example many teams use the same raw data from Large Colliders, or JWT, or other large science projects to reach competiting conclusions.

Yes, but why must the first team wait until the second is finished before publishing?

What if you are the only person in the world with expertise in the fossil record of an obscure branch of snails? You spend 10 years developing a paper knowing that the next person with the right training to replicate the work might not even be born yet.

Other paleontologists might not be able to replicate the work, but still tell if it's publishable - that's what they do now, yes?

> but we do not live in a perfect world

Alternatively, we don't live in a perfect world which is why we have the current system instead of requiring replication first.

Since the same logic works for both cases, I don't think it's persuasive logic.

Well, that's a tangent. The FDA is charged with protecting and promoting public health, not improving the state of scholarly literature.

I think all of the areas you listed have the same desire pushed on them. Maybe even more so than in software.

Whether it "looks like it's on a string" is highly subjective. Suppose I primed you by saying: Look at this speck of dirt on a string, does it look like a speck of dirt on a string to you?

In all likelyhood, your answer would be: Yes, it does.

It's clear however that a lot of us (myself included) don't want to see a speck of dirt on a string. They want to see history in the making.

Just installed the Tile app: doesn't run on Android. I have Play Services installed (stock Samsung firmware) but it complains that something is wrong with the Play Services and the only option is to close the app. Based on the layout, the pop-up is from Google Play themselves and the app (prompting me to log in) would work fine if I could just click that pop-up away like one could on the web.

So it doesn't run on any Android, it runs on Google Play Services (not all androids have this), and for some reason not on my device despite having the google backdoor services installed exactly to avoid this sort of shit

Inflexibility is an actual problem.

In rust, before anyhow and thiserror, you’d see some pretty shitty hacks for the inflexible error system, such as just making all errors just a string.

It is clear that having all the errors in a list is actually good now, but that doesn’t stop programmers from hating writing boilerplate.

Again, before anyhow, if you did error properly, your errors.rs had huge swathes of From implementations. Error.rs boilerplate often outstripped your actual code.

The complaints that it’s hard to change interfaces is bad, as it’s difficult to change interface methods regardless.

I own a car after living for years without one, and for every “I can go away on a moment’s notice” (what they sell you) there is 100 times you spend in traffic at rush hour moving at 4mph.

There’s something truly liberating in living in a city where you can just take the bus to a fancy restaurant, get drunk and not put other lives in danger. Or just walk to the park, the playground or the library.

The problem is equating publication with truth.

Publication is submitting your code. It still needs to be tested, rolled out, evaluated, and time-tested.

"But as with everything else in New York in the past three years, things went awry. Last year’s 88 track deaths were 35% above the 2018 and 2019 averages — 65 each year.

For context, 120 pedestrians died above ground last year in crashes with cars or trucks, close to the average of 121 in 2018 and 2019"

You are even repeating them - and nicely moving the goal post from "death" to "injury".

Using "safety " to argue against cars is not productive, "safety" can be applied anywhere and everywhere.

CBC Marketplace in Canada has done a couple similar assessments over the years where they have someone go to different dentists after an initial diagnosis by independent experts. They saw basically the same thing as this article, huge differences in opinions where clearly some practices were trying to scam money by doing unnecessary work. This is why I drive over an hour to visit my same dentist after moving house, they guy only does work if it is actually in my best interest.

Yes, that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Possibly because that money then gets deposited. But the central bank can lend money even if there is no foreign currency exchange.

The airline basically does put a tracking device on the bag, in the form of a tag with a barcode and (in some cases) RFID. Having the barcode built into the bag itself wouldn't change anything, there's still things that can go wrong where it gets disabled or, as happened in this case, the airline employee attaches a bag to the wrong customer.
Having the standard system use an Airtag-like tracking device that requires batteries seems like it would be strictly more likely to fail than what they do today.
There are varying degrees of simplifying things, from purposely obfuscating in order to look smart or fill out your paper to the required length, to sloppily throwing an explanation together, to carefully removing unnecessary complexity and using terms your audience is familiar with, to oversimplifying to the point where there information you're giving is actually bad. Maybe that last one is what you mean by 'infantilizing '.

Always pick the third option, regardless of who you're talking to, to maximize your chance of getting your point across.
When I first went to Ithaca I went to a quack dentist who charged me a lot for unnecessary diagnostics. I did not see a dentist for two years, then I got a referral to my current dentist where the whole family gets a cleaning twice a year. My wife thinks the exam with the dentist after seeing the hygienist is a scam, I see the dentist only if there is evidence of a problem. In that time I got a referral to extract one of my rear teeth (could have gotten an implant but decided against it.). My dentist gave me recommendations for sensitive teeth (saltpeter toothpaste and an electric toothbrush which was cheap when I got one that uses rechargeable AA’s) and a brace for tooth grinding which focalized my TMJ symptoms (shoulder, back, neck pain and headaches) to something which is somewhat annoying occasionally. I am satisfied.

I hear though that a lot of dentists get into scams like Amway and Scientology.

Like many other posters here, whenever we travel, I put AirTags in all our checked bags as well as hand carry (in case we lose them or they get stolen).

I also made my own sturdy luggage tags with a laminator that has our contact info on it. For each flight, I print a sticky label with the dates, airlines and flight numbers and attach it to the tag. Then, if the airline label ever gets ripped off, there is at least, some way to identify it.

So far so good even after 100 or so trips. My family chuckles about it when we’re packing but I think deep down, they understand it might one day save a trip.

We also have these reusable stretchy nylon covers for the checked baggage. As well as protecting the cases and making them easier to identify (neon colors), I’d like to think that makes opening them less attractive to airline baggage thieves than all the other ones but who knows.
