Why Sri Lanka is having an economic crisis
A textbook currency crisis, triggered by a bunch of policy mistakes.

Good Managers Write Good
In my time observing managers, one observation seems to repeat again and again: good managers write well, and bad managers write poorly. In fact, the best managers I’ve ever had were not just good writers, they were terrific. And the worst managers I’ve ever…

Vox Media 在 Google News Initiative 的 Innovation Challenge 的资助下建立了一个资源工具——「Language, Please」，是由作家、编辑、设计师、工程师、行业领袖、DEI倡导者、人力资源和法律专业人士等组成的多元化团体的共同编辑，为所有记者和讲故事者提供的生动资源，帮助寻求对不断变化的社会、文化和身份认同相关问题进行深思熟虑的报道。这一专案的风格指南也列出了所参考的丰富 资源。
在标准不断变化之下，Language, Please 系统提供这些辩论的更大背景，挖掘术语历史。这一资源工具包括跨越六个主要类别的风格指南——边界与人口，阶级与社会地位，残疾、神经多样性与慢性病，社会性别与性倾向，心理健康、创伤与药物使用，以及种族与民族。
比如在社会性别与性倾向类别中，第一条「don’t ask, don’t tell（不问，不说）」也正好对于近期 Apple TV+ 剧集 For All Mankind 中 New Eden 一集中架空设定的真实来源做了解释。
「政治正确」和「语言警察」之间的差异，在于前者强调的用语精确的目的，是呼吁创建尊重与包容的环境，后者则是威权家长制下的，来自权力的镇压或被驯化的个体的自我审查。长期浸淫在保守的、集体的畸形环境下的人，喜爱将「政治正确」作为一种扭曲的贬义，责令被排斥的、边缘化的、弱势的群体噤声。注意你的语言，不是限缩你言论表达的自由，而是尊重包括你在内的所有人的尊严和权利。

How can we reconcile the rapid ever changing way we communicate online with the formal methodical process of a standards body that digitizes written languages?
So many great advice and resources in this post.

> For most people reading this article, most of this will seem dead obvious but they may not have seen it in this specific articulation. So why do I bring it up? Because forgetting (or not knowing of) this structure of the reality of what you are actually doing is the pitfall many novices, and even veterans, fall into when programming. Getting caught up in what is the best way to implement a program, or any problem for that matter, distracts the programmer from the problem.

The Essence of Programming
One thing I have noticed a lot when a programmer is struggling to solve a problem, especially a novice, is that he is stuck worrying about the “best way” to implement the solution rather than actually understanding the problem he has. I believe a lot of this…
