I've had my fair share of stomach discomforts while travelling, but I'm very unlikely to associate it with tap water unless I do a controlled self-study.
More often its clearly from food prepared in unhygienic conditions, because that's the only variable during my travels and tap water is the norm for me.
You seem to be implying that to fail to enforce the right to sustenance nets negative freedom. It's not clear whether you've weighed the loss in freedom required to enforce this right. Can I presume you believe this right is worth forcing people to give, forcing by threat of armed expropriation or incarceration?
The closest thing to an IBM PC and daq is… an Arduino. Simple cpu, simple interface library, go from zero to making stuff move in no time.
A modern PC as a platform is in no way helpful to learning how sensors and actuators work. You’d be spending hundreds more for unnecessary frustration.
The Art of Electronics is not a good choice for a beginner. It’s aimed at good university educated EE’s.
I read the Art of Electronics as a beginner. A university educated EE should have had pretty much everything covered in their studies so it would be surprising to me that would be their reference of choice.
I still think the convenience of a laptop or a PC beats the Arduino. That said, I'm not up to date on what sort of I/O you can get (e.g. USB based I/O) and that's the cost. I have to imagine there are options that are not that expensive.
Horowitz and Hill is used for 300 and 400 level university courses. It assumes a lot of prerequisite physics and engineering knowledge. I’m not using that definition of beginner.

I have to imagine you know you’re allowed to just not post, right.
>OP wants to brush up on their skills, not have AI do it for them.
the two things aren't mutually exclusive.
if an AI tells you "solder A to B" you're going to learn some technique whether you want to or not. Extrapolated entirely into a robotics project.. there's a lot to gain just through sheer osmosis of instruction.
the barrier to entry for a lot of playing around is getting a working scaffold to be able to run all your testing from
id expect it could pick you out a breadboard, a micro, some actuators and sensors, along with get a code deploy and run harness going for you, so you can focus on doing the robotics, rather than anything else.
Some people learn by doing, or learn by example, and the faster they can get into doing an example, the faster they will learn.
I am one of those people, and I can't count how many textbooks I own, of which I've read the first few chapters, and lost interest because I wasn't doing anything, only reading.
When I can instead start doing something, as GP emphasized, I can learn the applicable concepts as they're applied, which works well for me. AI helps me do that, because it is like a textbook that follows along with me, rather than asking me to follow it. Also I ask a lot of questions.
Very true, and doing it this way lets me learn at midnight for no extra cost while I go from zero to one and keep my day job that lets me pursue such passions.
They're very varied, so not a clear path to a job there, and I'm not sure I would want to make a job out of all of them.
What does ranking vs. chronological having to do with infinite scrolling?
You can have a ranked paginated UI. You can also have an "infinite" (until you run out of items, but this is not different for ranked) chronological UI.
Moving away from chronological allows them to feed you more addicting content, as does the infinite feed. They involved together because they work together synergistically.
It’s of no value to point out both can technically be implemented independently. That isn’t what happened, and even if it did it would still be user hostile.
I still don't understand. If TikTok simply showed the user every single TikTok ever created, strictly in reverse chronological order, it would still be an infinite scrolling UI.
The sorting algorithm that they choose isn't what makes a UI infinite scrolling or not, they're completely orthogonal. In MVC architecture terms they're model and view respectively...
This would never happen, because it’s of no value to anyone. Not the advertisers or the users.
Stop getting hung up on whether things are technically possible, and instead think critically about the actual effects of design choices.
The architecturally boundary between view and model (famously difficult to keep cleanly separated, by the way) is what’s orthogonal here. These are business decisions, not software decisions.
