Would anyone of you know any tool that would simulate working on GSM connection (EDGE, 3G, LTE) on Linux box?

I am looking for any reliable way of simulating user application working on mobile phone.

"europe-west-9 (Paris) has been physically flooded [...], but has zero impact elsewhere."

I am afraid this is not true. We have nothing in europe-west-9, but problem in this region caused global problem with Cloud Console, which hit us, because we were not able to use it for several hours.

Snippert from https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/dS9ps52MUnxQfyDGPf...:

"Cloud Console: Experienced a global outage, which has been mitigated. Management tasks should be operational again for operations outside the affected region (europe-west9). Primary impact was observed from 2023-04-25 23:15:30 PDT to 2023-04-26 03:38:40 PDT."

I 100% agree with you. I will keep Warp on my radar, but without proper tmux support it's no-go for me.

All my friends, which are using terminals, are also using tmux. It's still small sample, but probably we don't represent such a tiny minority here.

What do you think about applications like Simply Piano? I am 40+ yo, and never played any instrument before. After 3 years of practicing with Simply Piano I am able to read and play some sheet music, but I'd like to know which areas need improvements.

Do you know any applications which can record performance of a song and evaluate it?

Feature requests:

- ability to save played melodies,

- ranked playlist.

Standard logging functions, without f-strings. So instead of: logging.debug(f'Problem with {x}') use: logging.debug('Problem with %s', x).

I already experienced performance issue, just because log messages (millions/s) were evaluated, for logger in debug mode, so it really depends on the system.

The example of f-string in the article is quite unfortunate, it suggests using it for logging messages. F-strings shouldn't be used in loggers, because they aren't lazy evaluated.

Similar thing has happened to me. I joined a security team in a Big Bank. During the first month of my work I discovered a terrible and obvious security hole, which was there for years. My manager took me aside and explained that they can't fix it, or even start doing anything about it, because the whole team will look incompetent. I was told not do anything and reassigned to the completely different tasks far from the team. After another month, I left.
