  2. The NGO Trap: How a $1 Trillion Industry Learned to Love African Poverty by Lawson Akhigbe

    Somewhere in a glass-and-steel conference centre in Geneva, a distinguished panel is convening to discuss Africa's poverty crisis. The room costs £18,000 a day to hire. The keynote speaker flew business class from Washington. The catered lunch is exceptional. The conference proceedings will produce, in due course, a forty-seven page report recommending as the 1994 report did, as the 2003 report did, as the 2011 report did, more aid. Africa, meanwhile, remains poor.

  8. Back to Basics, Rebranded: Burnham’s High Streets and the Politics of Looking Busy by Lawson Akhigbe

    John Major's government never intended "Back to Basics" to become a punchline. Launched in 1993 as a pitch for moral and civic renewal, family values, personal responsibility, respect for the old certainties, it was retail politics in the purest sense: cheap to announce, easy to photograph, and entirely disconnected from the actual machinery of governing a mid-sized post-imperial economy adjusting to the ERM's wreckage. Section 28 sat quietly in the background as inherited scaffolding for this mood music, and the Education Act 1993's sex-education clauses supplied a fresh, deniable coat of paint. None of it required legislative heavy lifting. All of it signalled seriousness to an audience that wanted reassurance more than reform. The scheme collapsed, memorably, when half the cabinet turned out to be failing the basics they were instructed to return to.

  10. #Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

    I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

    How it will be #architected: [positive-intentions.com/blog/d
    Some #benefits of the #approach: [positive-intentions.com/blog/s

    I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

    When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

    #Cryptography modules - cryptography.positive-intentio

    #P2P framework - p2p.positive-intentions.com/?p

    This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

    #P2P chat - [chat.positive-intentions.com/]
    #P2P file transfer - [file.positive-intentions.com/]

    The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

    I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

    Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

    (mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)
