I had a book when I was in high school that I tried to teach myself transistor theory from. It was published by Dover books. Dover seemed to have all the nerdy stuff that had gone out of print. This book was: Basic Theory And Application Of Transistors By US Department Of Army. It was kind of set up for rote learning. I think I permanently damaged myself with it because I am so not Army / rote.   I tried repeatedly to learn transistors from this book.  Again and again I found myself waking up with this book over my face.

If I would have noticed the original title was: “TM 11-690” I might have figured out it was the long sought cure for insomnia. I had this version:

As poorly laid out as it was I now see there is an earlier document version that looks like it was a direct issue from the Army.  TM 11-690.

Microsoft bought GitHub in 2018 for $7.5 billion. GitHub now operates as an independent entity within Microsoft, and the acquisition was completed in October 2018.

• GAI: Why did MS buy GitHub only to let it run as an independent entity? 
• GAI:  is visual studio open source and if so can I download the code?
• Visual Studio Code – download / installation

Seems convenient for MS that you get ramped into MS editor and AI that will see all.
