That's not true, and it is frustrating to read such a pointless falsehood. I worked in a soup kitchen for years. The Bill Emerson's Good Samaritan Act of 1996 codified in federal law what states had started implementing in the 70s, that good faith donations won't hold people/corporations liable to food injury.

In my opinion, Windows search is the absolute most infuriating example of this, compounded by how slow it is. Let's name it so we can shame it

There was a post about this recently. They need to buy the ad to keep their competitor from being the first result. https://www.seroundtable.com/basecamp-google-ad-28161.html

I had been thinking about similar projects myself. I figure that experience with the z80, 68000, and the 6502 would give someone a platform for hacking for at least the next century. There are some dozens of 68000-like chips in a single car. I/O is as simple as LEDs and toggle switches for the bare necessities, such as bootstrapping other I/O options. Worked for the Altair 8800. From there one could implement morse-like momentary switch input. In these (possibly far-fetched) scenarios, going back to things like ticker tape and printers would make a decent amount of sense. Perhaps spools of wire could be used as "tape" for programs and data, as wire recorders existed before plastic tapes were available. I love seeing how home fabrication is developing, with people making simple silicon in their garage, but there is value to a basic tool chain that doesn't require as much sophistication and supply chains. I truly hope we don't live to see such a world, as the suffering would be immense. That said, I have no idea how complex supply chains can be expected to persist without fossil fuels.

I have used Vue to simplify some enterprise pages of unholy jquery. Vue is added as a single js file in the header, and I call 'new Vue' on a div element. I do not get .vue files, i can't use fancy vue compenents i see online, and a few other things, but it worked really well for my use case. I used vue to replace ~400 lines of jquery with 80 lines of very clean code. Use what you need, and leave the rest.

"The audio programming book" by MIT press is amazing, a great book that doesn't cost much. Starts with a fairly large c++ tutorial.

I have just finished Think Julia, which was a pretty good introduction and is available for free online: https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html Its a little slow for seasoned programmers, but it has a lot of exercises and the idiomatic julia parts tend to stick out more with the simple 2 line snippets.
