> Up until mid-2000's, the entire country was reliant on a single – modem – internet connection to Singapore

Myanmar’s internet infrastructure was limited and tightly controlled, but it was not dependent on a single modem connection to Singapore. In the 1990s-2000s, Myanmar had rudimentary internet via satellite links and state-controlled gateways. The first internet services were introduced in the 2000s, primarily via Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), often routed through various international satellite providers.

> the Singaporean government had a long history of propping up successions of military governments in Myanmar until China arrived on the scene

Singapore has historically maintained business and diplomatic ties with Myanmar, also during military rule; and yes, some unscrupulous Singapore-based firms sell arms to the junta. But saying Singapore propped up military regimes suggests active political or military support by the government, which is factually incorrect. Most regional engagement with Myanmar, including by Singapore, was done through ASEAN’s policy of non-interference.
That's the trick - it is not test only code. You use the same objects, the same code.

The code has to be written so it takes in the altered unit via parameters or other DI or so it knows that the current system is set to short circuit some calls.

Ie, you could have MyClient(testHTTPClient).GetResource(foo) used in tests and MyClient(realHTTPClient).GetResource(foo). The testHTTPClient would get to the actual connection part and return a configured response or error.

Your entire logic is the same, your code could "receive" a forced 404 or timeout or 200 OK. It is up to the testHTTPClient that is only changing how the http connection is handled.

I call these unit-integration tests. You are checking all units work together while not actually working with the outside world.

US in general seems to be getting real dark real fast.

Definitely preferred the old somewhat comical "We're the only country with freedom" vibe they had going.
Completely normal for Google. A few weeks ago they bricked my Chromecast. It wouldn't take casting from Netflix anymore, so I looked it up and everybody including Google tells you to reset the piece of crap. I did, and now Google home won't connect to it anymore. Something about a certificate expiring somewhere and now it won't work at all.

I'll try again in a few months and then bin it. I won't be purchasing any further cast/stick devices, I'll simply use a laptop and chrome, and when that stops working, I'll stop using Netflix or Amazon prime video.
As far as I know you need to sail across the high seas.
> I am not in love with the idea that the fate of AI is to boil down each person to a lowest common denominator.

Are you kidding, that's the holy grail! When I need customer service I want every interaction to be by the book, zero personality, from them or from me.

The problem is it's not right now: when somebody with a non-Western English accent answers a call to a Western company (Airbnb, your bank, etc) it's pretty much a guarantee that you're about to deal with massive incompetence and apathy. You don't notice this until you live long-term in a homogenous country, where the people answering customer service calls are the same people you see on the bus/train after work. It's like a lightning blast into your brain: "holy cow, customer service actually works here?".

And you might say, "well incompetence and apathy is all call center people who work for American companies are empowered to give you, regardless of the accent or geography".

But that's not true: Filipino/a call center employees are gushing with upbeat script-following good humor, but they never solve your problem.

Whereas "Dave" from the midwest sighs and rolls his eyes before taking every call but he actually figures out the reason you're calling and uses his brain to try to resolve it, in the boundaries he's empowered within.

That's not a popular thing to think or say, but I know I'm not the only one who, after literally hundreds of these interactions, has developed this heuristic.

And you might say, "well 'Dave' from the midwest is by definition higher up the ladder and more empowered to solve your problem, because otherwise you'd be getting someone in the Philippines/India who's only allowed to follow their script".

Sure. But that's why it'd be great if there was one common-denominator: anybody who answers your call has as much ability to resolve issues as anybody else, tries as hard as anybody else, communicates as clearly as anybody else... that's the holy grail.
Does it now, dear whatabouter?

People are getting arrested and deported with no due process for expressing opinions? The UK government is rewriting history to remove women and gays?

No, you're just confusing the existence of hate crimes in UK law, and maybe the dumb migrant detention in Rwanda scheme (which has since been cancelled), both of which have due process, are public, and ridiculous to compare.
I don't, so my sample set is distinctly broader than yours.
I agree with what you're saying, but don't understand the point - if police officers in the US (about a million adult professionals) are abusing this data, wouldn't opening it up to ~300 million random people result in far more abuse than we're already seeing?

> The Language Server Protocol (LSP) is an open, JSON-RPC-based protocol for use between source code editors or integrated development environments (IDEs) and servers that provide "language intelligence tools":[1] programming language-specific features like code completion, syntax highlighting and marking of warnings and errors, as well as refactoring routines. The goal of the protocol is to allow programming language support to be implemented and distributed independently of any given editor or IDE.[2] In the early 2020s, LSP quickly became a "norm" for language intelligence tools providers.[1]

The vice president writing they were going to pray makes me think the editor of the Atlantic was intentionally added to the chat.

I don’t see how it could be believable that Vance is actually religious and isn’t just using it as a way to get votes.
Those are history professors though. I don't want to disparage other lib arts, but the historians are at least looking at what has happened when countries become fascist states. Could they have recognised all the warning signs?
Some of them are. Have you ever heard anything said by the current US president? It's just incoherent rambling.

Then we also have the Signal chat, and even biographies and books by some of the others that makes it clear done of these people are genuinely dumb as fuck.
Yep, it’s an interesting social experiment. USA is becoming like Russia, with fake democracy and robber baron oligarchy that does whatever it wants. Many people are going to be OK with it, as long as they think it benefits them personally. But I’m not sure many in academia will be among those.

I bet China, India and EU will soon overtake America in sciences. Made in America may yet become the new made in Bangladesh.
I look at Trump's popularity and it is still quite high. So while it may seem dark to some, generally it isn't bothering most Americans that much. Thus it is likely to continue and progress.

What is next?

- Maybe punish citizens for their views that do not align with the state sanctioned perspective, rather than just Green Card and immigrants. In this case, I expect some type of black list that deals economic damage to those on it. I can imagine some type of wide ranging social media bans for those on the list.

- Further erode the rule of law and empower the president as a unity power. Or alternatively marketed, deal with corrupt judges who want to upend the will of a democratically elected leader.

This play book has happened so many times recently, Putin in Russia, Netanyahu is doing it in Israel right now, Erdoğan in Turkey.

It seems this is where the US is headed and I do not see any off ramps in the need term.
The tweet is over generalizing things. It says "The reality of building web apps ...", but what he really is talking about is building a serious, scalable, production ready web app. Blob storage, email, background jobs, analytics, monitoring? Come on, you are taking about building a web based product that is often managed by several people, and if you are creating something that is serious enough to require analytics, you might as well actually understand what you are doing.

This isn't about what most people consider "web development" or "building web apps", too much a stretch.
If you have more than one device you want to integrate into a VR space, having them within nanoseconds of each other means the lag/spatial difference will be much better. The closer and more stable in time, the better.

Currently most consumer VR gear is limited to a set of devices run through a single machine.
For what purpose? And if it was just for that, why did they also share classified information?
><The department issuing traffic citations requests an automated daily report showing every vehicle observed at multiple locations where the two sightings imply an average speed between 55MPH and 170MPH. Then the citations department takes the report and issues a citation to anyone where there is no route between those two points that allows the calculated average speed without exceeding the speed limit.

The problem with that is that isn't how average speed cameras work, and where speeds are ludicrously high then there is a human operator looking at it.
Meanwhile frauds like Trevor Milton get pardoned. Milton donated 1.5 million to the Trump campaign and his lawyer is the brother of the Attorney General, which I'm sure was not a coincidence. Milton was on Team Trump. I don't care that much about Milton -- he's just one of many fraudsters who got away with it -- but it's the contrast here that's so shocking: if you support Trump he will bail you out even if you're a criminal but if you're critical of Trump he will try to destroy you.

In earlier biographies Trump bragged about his vengeful nature. How he would gladly bear a grudge for a decade if that would allow him to finally get even. To Trump winning is justice. He fantasizes about destroying any FBI agent that had the audacity to investigate him. And any judge that found him guilty. Or any politician that voted for his impeachment. Canada and Europe have mocked Trump for decades, but who's laughing now?

Vengeance seem so old-fashioned. Most of us don't seek vengeance or bear grudges. But to Trump getting even -- winning -- is everything.
Why not IoT?
This is your answer? "Read the books on economics"? As if it would be some kind of scientific guideline? Seriously? This is your answer while simultaneously looking at the world RIGHT NOW?

A quick catch up for you: those books didn't work. Economics is not a science. You can not use it to generate predictions. It's single useful outcome is a historical one.

> Ask any of the Asian tiger economies

Why should I? It is obvious that some things work in some countries, while the same things might not work just behind the border. Other things might work for some time before they fall apart again because the ground issues with the system are being ignored or circumvented the way you try to do it here.

Nigeria is a very good example here btw. It is a growing economy. An emerging market. It has plenty of resources and the situation could be better for all Nigerians there.
But it isn't. Widespread corruption, and the fact that there is an energy crisis putting brakes on the development show that something is off.
The main income for the country comes from oil exports. Within the country, oil products needs to be heavily subsidized. Due to the lack of refineries, the oil products need to be bought back from abroad. So who does profit from this scheme? Surely not the Nigerian majority. Their top 5 export partners are: China (23%), Netherlands and Belgium with each 10% and India and the US with ~6%.

Their main import goods are: Petroleum oils, etc, and Durum wheat.

They are being ripped off. In this case, mainly by China, profiting from the corrupt structures which run Nigeria and the population is forced to scam to make a living and not being able to make a change.

Put away your books and your arrogant westerner attitude. Look at the reality out there. It is happening right now.
Right? What happened to "they hate us for our freedom"?
I keep installing without Microsoft accounts just fine. People keep not realizing there is literally a option for this in the installer still, it's just not named "skip microsoft account". LOL
The Language Server Protocol is essentially a standard for editors to talk to language tooling. All the usual refactor/go-to-definition/auto-complete functionality you expect from a modern IDE is implemented in a language-agnostic way in the editor in terms of calls to the language server, and language servers then provide the actual concrete implementations of that functionality.

IIRC Microsoft defined the spec in the context of creating VS Code, but these days every editor and their uncle supports it (from Vim and Emacs to Sublime Text and even IntelliJ). You can get a solid IDE-like experience for most mainstream-ish languages, and on most editors, through LSP.
thanks for asking! its what provides all language intelligence features in your IDE. so autocompletion, diagnostics, syntax highlighting etc. the postgres language server currently supports autocompletion, syntax error highlighting, type-checking and linting.

But it is clear that most of the victims of the pandemic where people with a lowered immune system. If our immune systems are generally stronger, it could be that pandemics disappear, because the pathogen can't spread fast enough.

Then we can still of course have certain medicines for people with lowered immune system.

And regarding pollution, I think we should get rid of it, but also adjust for it as long as it's there, by supplementing our bodies with the nutrients lacking in our diet because of the current pollution.
Maybe publicity? The group in charge knows they can do no wrong, and I would bet their voters liked the rhetoric in the chat. Maybe they use controversy as a tool to keep people distracted (or even lead them to check out).

To be honest for most of our selfhosted needs, all we need is python and sqlite.
I'm guessing you're referring to: https://github.com/zlab-pub/wifi-ptp

But I remember reading somewhere (maybe it was in an OCP-TAP session, which they publish every month or so) that there was a serious effort to make hardware timestamping work in WiFi 7 or 6E, maybe? Can't find the reference.
Next up: Trump signing an executive order forbidding top level academics to leave US soil ? Or maybe Russian style: we'll see an increase of mysterious accidents and suicides amongst high profile dissidents?
Could you perhaps supply an example of this? It's hard to tell where you're coming from.

Are you referring for instance to Claudine Gay? It seems to fit, IMHO.

You missed the first word of my comment.

Additionally, yeah there have been "social media offenses" in the recent years. Individuals have been arrested for comments made on social media platforms. Try it out. Communications Act 2003 come to mind.

Are people not entitled to lawyers in the US?

In any case, there is authority overreach in both countries (and more).
Yes. They switched from the best desktop noise cancelling software to a horrible mess of AI features supposed to help you with your meetings.

The app now really wants you to use their task tracking, transcripts, summaries, etc. But they have pretty frustrating UX, require invasive permissions. Every other day you get nagged into enabling features you already said no to 20 times

Real Time Chess – A physical chess board without the concept of turns
I anticipate some kind of open source / crowd sourced ALPR app will become the public's answer to these private data collection systems. Everyone has a dash cam and a cell phone in their car. It wouldn't take much to run local video analysis onboard, capture all the cars around you on the road, compute make, model, distance, velocity, heading, and archive it in a local DB. Then have a "that guy cut me off" button that pushes the record to a collaborative open data set like open street maps.

I hate this idea. It's a shit idea. I expect it's coming anyway.
What is the advantage of using Signal for notifications compared to just using notifications built-in into Home Assistant mobile app?
I took a peek at the docs https://plainframework.com/docs/ and the packages/functionality mentioned there.

Everything, and I mean everything is already either in core Django or in a great and properly supported django package that's been used in years and has been proven to be reliable.

I really can't understand the purpose of this package. Taking a peek at the about as mentioned by some others:

> You can think of Plain as a "what if?"
> What if you didn't have to worry about deprecation policies?

The fact that Django has deprecation policies and they are so religiously followed allows me (and others) to have 10+ years old projects running in Django 5.1 and being ready for 5.2 without any problems or baggage!

> What if there were no committees?

A committee is a good thing. It ensures two things: a. It's not possible to commercialize the project. b. It makes sure that it will do what's best for most users. Some decisions may no be good for a particular user but it would be best for most users (considering my previous comment; I want to keep my 10+ years old project properly supported).

> What if you could change anything without consequence?

See previous comments. You can change anything without consequence when you have a clean slate, not when you need to support current stuff.

> What if Django wasn't originally built for a newspaper circa 2003?

This really doesn't relevant. Django is a general purpose framework.

> What if you had a clean slate, but a proven head start?

See the previous comments.

> working through years of incremental progress and committees, with a very real possibility of some things never happening, is just not for me.

Please see my previous answers. Also, about changing stuff, that's the purpose of packages, ain't it? Django has a lot of escape hatches to change its behavior from the defaults. And of course if you wanted to do something not supported you could try to do a PR so as to open another escape hatch so Django will keep the default behavior but you'll be able to implement your thingie.

Concluding, I really don't like this project forking Django because all this effort could be put to better use and definitely not try to split the community. Especially the community of a real Open Source project like Django.
Maybe it's because I work with Indians every day, but the people in the videos sounded fine even without the software. They should try it on someone with a really thick accent, like this guy: https://youtu.be/pj705DvCSxg?si=Am1Z2ILqfu9wvu_I

Do they have software for the reverse case? Can it give someone an Indian accent, for example?
I suspect this refers to the list of words that are used to filter out and likely cancel or block various grants. Those words are about what the current US government considers DEI, but they are ridiculously broad and include words like "woman".

For those of you needing turn services without wanting to host, I can highly recommended Xirsys. Excellent service and while pricing is more than Cloudflare you get better network quality.

If you prefer Cloudflare, unless you are using GBs a day you'll most likely have a $0 monthly bill which makes it an excellent choice for small projects and testing.
I had a scammer calling me using this a while ago. The accent was perfect but the English grammar was terrible.
Um, I don’t get the criticism, can you elaborate? I’ve used both Arch and Manjaro before (many years ago), but don’t recognize this.
Because ANPR data isn't routinely monitored. If your car is up to date on tax and insurance it doesn't generate an alert, the presence is recorded and ignored.

People make journeys that are illogical all the time and ANPR misreads are common, so there is no justification for having a system that says "this plate has pinged simultaneously 200 miles apart", because what are you going to with that information?

When you trigger a speed camera, the police send a notice to the registered keeper. They don't search ANPR for other hits, because why would they? They're dealing with the single traffic offence in front of them.

ANPR is an intelligence tool. It is an extremely valuable one, but it isn't definitive and no prosecution would stand alone on ANPR data without other corroborative evidence.
in addition to all the things listed above, json has no practical advantage. json offers no compelling feature that would make anyone switch. what would be gained?
