I have to complain about some side effects of shutting down the 3G network. Similar to New Zealand, Australia is also shutting down the 3G network. It is quite reasonable since most people have upgraded to a newer phone on paper.

However, it also means that a quite range of phones will not support emergency calling via VoLTE, since it not only requires a 4G/5G capability, but also requires a separate protocol needed to make the emergency calling available without a SIM card, I suppose?

So, the final result is, the telecommunications department of Australia forces customers to switch phones, and I just don’t want to switch. I am currently using two phones, one is an iPhone which is fine, another one is a Xiaomi phone purchased from China, which will be banned and I am very satisfied with it.

The final result is, I purchased a budget 5G phone as a hotspot device and use it with my Xiaomi phone. With that said, I still feel frustrated. I contacted two carriers and both of them said “oh we can do nothing”, although the shutdown notice email said “we will find you a solution”. According to my friend, it is “we kindly ask patients to avoid passing away in the hallways.”

I’m just curious why you want to create a type of programming language that does the things it is supposed not to do, such as replacing JavaScript with Python on the front end or running an ML project in a browser with pure JavaScript...

No, I only wrote it in Chinese, as my blog mainly targets Chinese readers. I posted it to HN because I hope the AWS staff can receive the feedback, maybe.

You will face two different methods to create an Amplify project when you use Amplify. This is just the beginning: it will make a bunch of random-named resources on your AWS account, totally untransparent config files in the local or production environment, and the manual (document) that looks so fancy but is split from AWS’s document system and contains almost zero information. You can barely find the config file sample in their document.
