The reasons were the chronic lack of wheat, especially hard varieties, lack of milk and cheese producing culture and technologies, lack of fresh vegetables and culture and storage and logistic technologies, lack of meat, lack of customers, lack of common sense etc.
Who needs pizza when you can stand in line for six hours and buy a blue chicken carcass consisting of bones and bones?
It's not the answer to the question that's interesting, but the questioner himself.
Unfortunately, Platonov could not stand the torture and in the second half of his life turned into a de facto mouthpiece of the regime.
However, he was not the only one, and in the end there were no others at all.
In any translation, his texts lose their meaning; now he is interesting only as another example of the work of the totalitarian selection of the “new useful people”.
It is obvious that if you correctly add pieces of something like this to a viscous medium (so that the pieces are on the surface of the medium), you will get a viscous material with a visually observable diffraction effect:
"So of course I opened the big bad search engine and typed Nordic nRF9160 bare-metal example. I quickly learned that, while bare-metal programming Nordic boards is possible"
Google, of course, is very big, angry and bad, but there is no need to search for what is on the manufacturer’s website:
I search for things I've written/published myself all the time. stuff really lives in the same place for more than a few months/years, and I forget where they were anyway, and often forget 90% of what's in it, so search is much faster at getting me there than trying to navigate the n+1th iteration of the website.
Low level is mostly not about processing core even if you are using assembly language. Yes, you can reach guru level in assembly language of some target platform but to do something really useful at the lower level you need to know and be able to use the peripheral.
And the hardest things are in peripheral.
Any modern microcontroller it will give you the opportunity to learn a lot of useful things about peripheral devices. You can start with any really good modern 8-bits micro like Microchip's 2nd generation of ATTiny, so you'll have in your hands a lot of very powerful interesting smart peripherals: hardware event system, small programmable logic, different timers, good ADC etc.
The only rational additional consideration here is that your target platform should be popular, well documented and supported by the manufacturer.
Then will be time for some Cortex-M0 device with DMA.
"So we had them replaced, at a fair price, by a small local business. Which is something that modern capitalism is trying to make impossible"
And then there was lot of blah-blah-blah about small local business which thanks to those "modern capitalism" is possible and exists. But what is "fair price" is still unknown from whose point of view it is fair.
So, let use the same style (it is the style, yeah):
If you want to rise popularity of your blog in many modern capitalism countries, always start any blog record with any form of modern capitalism blaming :)

As this forum is mostly populated with techies, one would hope Tim Bray is a known name which doesn't need increasing his blog's popularity, or being suspect of pulling such stunts. :)
