> My argument is that the military should maintain large manufacturing capacity that is generally dormant during peacetime (when it is too expensive compared to a globalized supply chain) so that it can be spun up in the event of global supply chain disruptions.

Might be a good solution, but how about having some more generic production capacity instead that can adapt quickly to urgent needs? China is quickly converting whole factories, with some research perhaps this process can be simplified and improved with more expensive, but flexible production technology. 3D printing instead of die casting etc. ...
I think this is true in this case.

I began trying to encourage people to get takeout because I heard staff talking about cutting staff hours because their sales are so bad. The local Denny's, normally open 24 hours, is only open 8am to 8pm. I saw one guy there working the register. There's normally multiple staff during the day.

Yes, Entrepreneurship is lonely. Have felt the same.

In this online world sharing knowledge is so much easier. Blogging, Professional forums can be used to share knowledge. It is baby steps but eventually can lead to teaching, workshops which could be fulfilling.

Helping, mentoring budding Entrepreneurs is one area. They would be glad to use all the wisdom.

Spending time with family. Connecting with old friends do help. I found, reaching out just to say hello opens the door.

Also meeting people with similar hobby or interests also helps. People are glad to share their knowledge.

I think when we are stuck, looking at avenues where we can give provides us the opportunity to connect with like minded people.

Except there are situations such as this one where it doesn't matter how cooperative countries are. Even China was unable to produce enough medical supplies for their own needs, much less for the entire world. The US and Europe absolutely need to rebuild their industrial capacity to be able to cover their own needs in crisis situations. Anything else is just insanity.
> e.g. "Five months worth of supplies were used by one hospital in six days" [1]

Here in Austria we don't even have enough N95 masks for hospital staff and medical personnel. This is completely irresponsible and not impossible to fix. It should be part of any pandemic plan to stockpile these. Things would work much better if at least this was covered now, but sadly it isn't and people will die because of it.

I am legitimately curious to see if you believe that the PI is suited to actual industrial applications in terms of its reliability (filesystem etc...) and low cost design? Maybe I'm defining industrial as something a lot more PLC based vs something akin to 'monitor the temperature in the warehouse' of course - when I hear industrial, I immediately think steel mills or manufacturing plants.

I would strongly hesitate to recommend the Pi for anything situation where 99% reliability (or above) was required unless I understood the domain back to front and could cover all the failure cases such as the expected operating environment ranges (temperature, power quality, EMI etc...).

I’ve seen a lot of experimental evidence for that. "All unicorns are blue" is logically equivalent to "all non-blue things are not unicorns".

Over the past few decades I’ve seen ten of thousands of non-blue things, and none of them were unicorns!

Am I taking crazy pills? The US and Europe subsidize their agricultural industries heavily and have done so for decades. They're fully or largely capable of feeding themselves - and yes, precisely because these places decided that food is a significant factor for the stability of a country and a national security issue. Hell, people bitch and moan about how agriculture gets so many subisidies (corn in the US? anything in the EU), but frankly, to outsource food production to the rest of the world would seriously threaten the cohesiveness of our countries.

This isn't a China problem.

Nearly all government leaders' first reaction is try to downplay disasters.. after all they are politicians, not science experts.

Did you not watch Chernobyl? It's literally the same plot.

Even in this particular case, the Chinese govt. wasn't the only one trying to downplay this. The US government did the exact same thing even after China had already come to its senses.
With great power comes great responsibility.

Based on my experience with macros, across several languages with support for them, macros are beautiful until you need to debug them under time pressure on a critical customer issue on a code base that you never seen before.
Kudos to both governments for the way this is being handled. A joint announcement with considerations for maintaining trade and facilitating necessary travel, while curtailing unnecessary travel to minimize transmission. Should be better both for compliance and for long-term goodwill than a unilateral measure by either side.

Hopefully both sides can continue to employ significant social distancing while ramping up testing and other measures, so that outbreaks can be brought under control and this situation can be as temporary as is prudently possible.
What? How is it the MBAs fault that production was cheaper elsewhere and that consumers always seek the lowest prices? Do you think they should've just ran losses to cover for the rest of us in case of a global pandemic? This has nothing to do with corporate executives and everything to do with national policy.
If it's backwards compatible with TTYs then it probably hasn't solved any of the problems I mentioned and there's already a plethora of nice terminal emulators out there (which is why I say most of the "ugliness" is hidden from everyday users).

It should also be noted that Windows makes a few mistakes when it comes to terminal design too:

- For starters cmd.exe is both a shell and terminal emulator and it's impossible to separate the two.

- To compound things, many common commands like dir, rm, etc are shell builtins (this will be a throwback to DOS). So you cannot even use an alternative shell on Windows without having to either invoke cmd.exe or rewrite existing utilities.

- And if that wasn't bad enough, cmd.exe builtins do not read from STDIN. They instead use DOS syscalls to read keyboard input.

- As you've probably guessed, cmd.exe isn't the only culprit which does this. Any "Windows" command line program designed for or which uses DOS APIs will not follow the standard streams idiom. Any command line software written for NT, however will. So you end up having to write all sorts of really nasty hacks just to get the command line working on Windows (far far nastier than any of the hacks that happen on UNIX/Linux).

- Then you have Powershell, which is an entirely separate command line in its own right and largely - though not completely - incompatible with cmd.exe.

- And WSL, which is also incompatible with cmd.exe and Powershell.

At least on UNIX/Linux, you have one terminal methodology. From there you can use whichever terminal emulator you want, whichever shell you want, whichever programming language to write CLI tools and/or whichever CLI tools you want to download. Where as on Windows you have 4 competing standards which don't cooperate well.
Really depends on what you want in a show. If you came in expecting a show about people designing computer and solving hard and interesting technical problems along the way you will be become more and more disappointed as the show goes on and focuses more on the characters personal problems and whether or not they get married/divorced/sleep with each other.

It would be a very simple matter to expand that access to send wider selections of data. It may already have the capability to perform such queries.

My point is these languages you mentioned don't offer good tools to optimize that 1% and they make the other 99% an order of magnitude slower and more resource hungry to the point where it actually matters and annoys users. Also neither C# nor Java offers deterministic destruction. Try with resources is a joke, because it is limited to a lexical scope. Java and C# are not true alternatives to Rust or C++. They are inferior both on performance side and abstraction/productivity side, and severely inferior if you want both in the same fragment of code.

In many applications there is also no single bottleneck and the split is not 1/99, nor even 20/80. After you optimize the most obvious bottlenecks you end up with a flat profile, where majority of time is taken by cache misses scattered across almost the whole codebase.

It might not matter for some apps where performance is less critical, but in this case you probably don't want to use Java or C# when there exist languages offering much better abstractions (and surprisingly - Rust and C++ can be higher-level than Java or C#, leading to better abstractions, shorter code and higher productivity). Don't conflate EASY with PRODUCTIVE. Easy languages are not always more productive (if it was true everybody would be coding in Scratch).
I suspect the Greeks are being mischaracterized here.

Would they, for example, have considered the statement "all unicorns have a horn" to be false?

In fact, the post mentions the statement "all stonemen are made of stone" which is assumed to be true under the greek logic, but according to the explanation should be false because there are no stonemen.
I don't understand how they do the comparison between the torus and sphere. First to take a rectangular paper as an example for a torus and then say some parts would stretch doesn't make a scientific comparison to a sphere.
As I understand the only difference between a sphere and a torus geometrical is that as a flat piece the sharp tops are cut of a flat piece of sphere. See link for picture of flat sphere:

ZZT was amazing, probably one of the earlier games that had - and still has - a massive modding community. I remember the one day we got a CD with a load of demos, games, etc in a magazine, which in addition to a Shockwave menu also just had the file structure; in there, we found a folder full of ZZT games.

A really memorable one was Code Red (https://museumofzzt.com/file/c/codered.zip), which just had so many little interactive things in at least the first area; a television set with multiple programs, a vacuum that would follow you around and explode if you vacuumed the wrong thing, it just kept giving. I don't actually remember getting very far in it though.

Anyway, more recently I got a similar "feel" that I got from ZZT back in PICO-8, a virtual console with a very accessible yet simple and intentionally limited editor; like ZZT, it gives you all the bells and whistles to create a game, but it's simple enough to avoid you reaching beyond the point where you can finish it. It having a built in game explorer (with online connectivity) means you've got thousands of indie games to explore. It's more versatile than ZZT, but still keeps you sane.
I think you've missed the broader point. The whole thing is a reminder that many 'progressive' companies like Facebook like to boast about how well they treat their employees - high wages etc - but in reality they outsource most/all of the lower-paid jobs. There's nothing wrong with this(!) but it does mean they lose some moral highground as a lot of people working physically in their offices probably don't have very good terms/job security after all. (Unless, of course, they also require good conditions for their outsourced workers too.)
I have never believed much in the Tesla bears but this is worrying. Without their main production and assembly facility open, they can't make money.

The factory in Nevada produces batteries and powerwalls.

The factory in China has reopened but its capacity is low and it's far away from their main markets in North America and Europe. The one in the Netherlands assembles cars based on components from the US.

This comes a day after they opened deliveries for what could have / should have been their next big cash cow, the Model Y.

I remember a bunch of game authoring packages from the old days. The Shoot-em-up Construction Kit (SEUCK) made in 1987 by Sensible Software was popular on C64. Codemasters released something called Creations which was demonstrated by one of the Darling brothers on UK Saturday morning tv in the 80s. I remember him making some kind of single screen platform game in it.

One of the most impressive was the 3D Construction Kit from Incentive Software (who also published the Graphic Adventure Creator/GAC). Released in 1991, it used the Freescape 3d engine from Driller (1987) and Castle Master (1990). I remember it being a big deal in the magazines of the time.

Things don't happen in a vacuum. If the gougers create an artificial shortage, then there is money to be made by increasing the supply. In fact, there'll be plenty of money to be made selling to the would-be gougers. The supply is not fixed and gouging will increase the supply.
