Chinese economy is successfully reorienting away from real estate towards high tech

functional government

Speaking of functional government, provinces rely on land use sales of various lengths. Many of them heavily overborrowed to build out infrastructure in anticipation of future land sales that are now lower or non-existent. And meanwhile, the real estate crisis is still quite active.

If the Chinese government was so special, it should have learned from the US's issues with companies that posed a systemic risk with inadequate oversight. Instead, they let Evergrande and others become way too large with too little oversight. They should have taken a cue from the financial regulators in the US, which identify systemically risky companies and imposes onerous regulations. Then at the height of the real estate bubble, Xi introduced a new set of policies that immediately popped the bubble instead of trying to ease it down. Too often, Xi in particular seems to work on principles like "people should invest wisely" instead of "if I introduce this policy, it will cause problems." The good news is that China does seem to be listening more lately, but it's already done damage.

How's Evergrande been these days?

I haven't, but I have heard of it. I think parts of Lapce are based on some Zed algorithms.

Does COSMIC's design suck or is it in pre-alpha?

Lapce, an IDE written in Rust. It's nice and light compared to most IDE's, so I use it a bit on my aging laptop from 2015. However, it doesn't have the extension ecosystem or polish of my favored IDE, VS Code.

Just take the dive into fish. It used to have a lot of problems with incompatibilities, but that's been less of a problem lately.

I haven't found nushell to be that great as a day-to-day shell simply because it integrates poorly with other Linux commands. But when it comes to data manipulation, it is simply amazing. I'm currently (slowly) working on a plugin to query LDAP. The ldapsearch command uses the LDIF format, which is hard to parse reliably. Producing nushell data structures that don't need fragile parsing would be a boon.

Mostly FOSS locally, but I rely on some proprietary software where there are gaps in the FOSS ecosystem.

It wouldn't necessarily just be burner phones. Many people wouldn't want to take a valuable phone traveling in case it gets stolen. Or maybe their phone isn't compatible with the US's networks.

Come on, don't give them objectively terrible advice.

It's not included in the final build artifact. It's a Gradle plugin.

As far as I can tell, they are 100% different. Guix uses Guile Scheme, NixOS uses the custom Nix language.

Windows 7, first released in 2009, now well out of the most extended of support. Glad to see security of medical records is a top priority.

 

Is there a way to block posts from an instance from showing up on my post feed? Lemmygrad has gotten to be a bit much over the past week or so. I know I can block communities, but I would rather not play wack a mole there.
