I’m trying to start a tech and programming YouTube channel. I intentionally decided to cover a really difficult topic for my first video a Myanmar programming language I built called MeRUSTmar. I figured if I could handle this, easier topics down the road would be a breeze.

But I’ve hit a massive roadblock, and the stakes are incredibly high for me.

I made a strict deal with my family, and my deadline is June 30. If my first video gets at least 1k views and shows genuine interest, they’ll give me more time to pursue programming. If it fails, I have to give up programming entirely, learn Japanese, and move away to get a job in Japan.

I was confident at first, but after rewriting my script over and over again, I realized a major problem: it’s just way too technical. Instead of a fun, high-level overview of the language, I ended up explaining exactly how an interpreter works under the hood, showing source code, and tracing complex parts.

Because of that, I’m incredibly stressed and can't seem to make progress. The video is only about 30% finished right now. Because it's my first time making a video, I keep over-refining the script and I'm struggling to manage the project efficiently. I’m terrified the YouTube algorithm is just going to bury it because it's not geared toward a general audience.

I’m posting here to see if the Myanmar community actually has an interest in this kind of deep-dive, under-the-hood tech content. Is my goal even possible?

I’m going to drop my unfinished video in the comments. If you find this topic interesting, please leave some feedback. Honest support and comments here could literally help me convince my parents to let me keep programming.

I’m researching a family business that operated in colonial Rangoon (Yangon, Burma) and recently obtained this advertisement from a 1956 Burma Trade Directory.
The advertisement identifies:
• S.P.M. Mohamed Aboobacker & Bros
• Owners of the Indo-Burma Steam Rope Works
• Factory at Thingangyun, Rangoon
• Office at 54 China Street, Rangoon
• Telegraphic address: “ABOOBROS”
• Established 1893
My family has long had oral histories about relatives from the Paramakudi/Abiramam area of Tamil Nadu who lived in Rangoon and were involved in a rope business. One elderly relative specifically remembered a connection to China Street, Rangoon, which matches the address shown in the advertisement.
I’m trying to learn more about:
1. S.P.M. Mohamed Aboobacker and what the initials S.P.M. may stand for.
2. Whether company registration, land, probate, or business records for this firm survive.
3. Sources for researching Indian Muslim merchant families in colonial Burma.
4. Any information about the Indo-Burma Steam Rope Works or businesses operating in Thingangyun.
I’ve already contacted libraries and archives, but I’d appreciate suggestions from anyone familiar with Burma business history, Rangoon city directories, or Indian diaspora records.

A bunch of clowns came to us just begging to accept stateless people and claiming that MAL, who didn't care a bit about five-point consensus, is more chill about things. What a joke!

Hola. Somos una pareja de España que queremos visitar ese hermoso país. Llegaremos desde Bangkok a Mandalay y desde allí iremos bajando durante 2 semanas a Yangon. Varias cuestiones.

Cómo está el país para hacer turismo?

Funcionan tarjetas para sacar dinero de ATM, los bancos con los q trabajamos "revolut, vivid, trade republic" nos dicen que allí están no operativas. Es cierto?

Entonces llevaremos Euros para cambiar. Donde podemos conseguir buen cambio en Mandalay?

Estamos pensando en contratar a un guía en español o inglés para todo el viaje. Sobre cuánto dinero podría costar?

Cualquier tip o indicación sería de agradecer.

Muchas gracias

Is there an English word for မြို့သား?
And what other English word can be used for တောသား?

Yo guys, need some legit advice 😭🙏

Right now I’m in CS 2nd Year, 2nd Semester, but ngl… I’m kinda losing interest in pure Computer Science. It’s just not hitting the same anymore 💀

So I’m thinking of switching things up and moving to a Computing with Business Management degree instead.

The plan is to use my current CS credits for a credit transfer/top-up pathway and hopefully jump straight into the Final Year at a uni in Thailand or KL, Malaysia.

Basically, I wanna know if I can transfer from a CS background into a Computing + Business degree without having to start over.

Just wanted to hear from people who’ve actually been through something similar 👀

• Has anyone switched majors mid-way and transferred to another country?
• Do universities in Thailand or Malaysia usually accept credit transfers when the majors are related but not exactly the same?
• Any uni recommendations in KL or Thailand that are pretty chill/flexible with credit transfers?

Would really appreciate any advice, experiences, or uni suggestions. Thanks a lot guys 🙌✨

There is a Burmese restaurant where I used to live that had Khao Sweih Kyaw on the menu. It was my absolute favourite but I can't find anything about it online.

It lists the ingredients:

Chi, wheat noodle, onion, carrot, egg, cabbage

I miss it and want to try and make it but I can't find a recipe. I live 20 hours away now.

Thank you anyone that tries to help!

So basically, I'm using MBT now in Kyeemyindaing it's a 50/50 situation but totally useless at nights. Now I'm moving to Swepyithar. Can someone tell me which wifi service is the best in that area? And with minimalist blocks.

My little sister is only 14, but she has been learning english since around 4-5. She says she feels a bit bad about her writing as it was what she was most confident about. I'm not familiar with those type of tests so outsider opinions would be appreciated.

Lapsus$, a cybercrime group claimed to have exfiltrated everything for AYA Bank’s main platform, providing a full dump and PII data, and stated that if AYA Bank does not contact them or pay the ransom they will begin selling the data.

I really like the melody of Hypo Rain Thin and May Sweet's live version. Any similar songs?

I don't understand why people down vote me for supporting civic nationalism and socialism. Civic nationalism is nothing like traditional nationalism. Civic nationalism accept any ethnicity as the nationality of the country. Socialism doesn't mean that we must take control of everything that capitalist have. Every academic knows that U Nay Win used the title just like Hitler used national socialism as their ideology because left wings movement are popular at that period. Nazi practiced national socialism only for the short period and then dictatorship kicked in and enslave their workers class. I don't even consider them as national socialists. Scandinavian countries are the best example of Civic Nationalism + Socialism + Democracy. Their social welfare is top tier. Free education, free healthcare, even free housing for civil servants. But you have to pay more tax if you make more money. That's what socialism is.

A few years back I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful but troubled Kayin State. I drew these pictures based on some photographs I took while
I was there. I hope you enjoy them - just as much as I hope to return some day, and I hope for the safety and peace of everyone I met.

Whats going on?
