I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

Learning how to use the Raspberry Pi Pico. There are a few different languages that can be used. Python and C/C++ are the common and well supported ones... but I'm not that keen on either! Now looking at TinyGo.

Meta will burn down everything in search of growth. They have been doing so in broad daylight for years. They will make people angry and sad and hateful (and have done so before) in search of growth in their dying platform. They will make everything worse to create growth. It's a death cult

Everyone's saying Jeju Flight 2216 hit the Muan Airport fence, but no. The plane got reduced to fragments because it slammed into an Instrument Landing System array with a massive concrete base atop an even bigger embankment. It barely even reached the fence.
