False : Why should stop slashing aid to

The first two months of 2024 have seen the and member states redirect billions of euros of funding away from Africa – but this could come at great cost to their long-term interests on the

In January and February 2024, and entities cut €4.8 billion in long-term development and climate funding, much of which had been destined for . This comes at a time when poverty in Africa is worsening for the first time in a generation. It also coincides with waning European influence on the continent, as well as concern among ’s leaders and about how this affects their interests. Despite the multiple pressures Europeans are facing, redirecting funding away from Africa now simply seems wrong-headed.

The funding cuts – which together amount to 6 per cent of annual development funding from , , and the Union – are underpinned by various national dilemmas and imperatives. ’s constitutional court, for instance, barred the government’s efforts to reallocate unused covid-era debt to its green transition fund, which left a €17 billion hole in the ’s budget. It had to find cuts somewhere – €2 billion of redirected foreign aid seemed to fit the bill. France’s attempts to balance its own books have resulted in cuts to development funding of around €800m. The European Council, meanwhile, in securing a €50 billion package of funding for , also quietly diverted more than €2 billion from long-term development programmes to fund “migration management” as part of the same deal on the EU’s long-term budget.

These examples are part of a wider trend. According to OECD statistics, 2022 saw ’s overall share of fall to less than at any other time this century, even as aid levels more broadly hit an all-time high. That year, the world’s official development assistance for almost 1.5 billion people in Africa was roughly the same as funding for Ukraine – population 44 million. This excludes aid.

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

This morning, a VPS hosting a small e-commerce site (powered by WooCommerce on Ubuntu 22.04) experienced another out-of-memory issue. A colleague (one of the developers) urgently called me, asking to upgrade the VPS due to excessive load.

I pointed out (again, as has often happened in recent weeks) that a VPS with 32GB of RAM (!!!) and 16 dedicated cores (!!!) should not run out of memory with just five simultaneous visits to a small e-commerce site. We host much larger and busier websites on much smaller VPSs. There's likely a WordPress module with a leak, or some interaction between modules causing this issue.

The response: Okay, but just add more RAM and power to solve it.

The illusion of "infinite resources" in the Cloud has led to poor development habits. Sometimes I wonder how much energy and resources we waste (and pollution we generate) due to a lack of basic optimization.
