Epsilon 1982 was very much Emacs, but programmable in C. But it loaded superfast in MSDOS palmtop HP100LX. I made lots of Epsilon programs, which were easy to translate to real Emacs, of the fake Unix, made by Linus.

  command palidro() {
   set_mark();
   forward_character();
   kill_region();
   down_line();
   yank();
   up_line();
   backward_character();
   }

It is your lifestyle son. I don't care what-o-clock it is. I just try to stay awake when sun is up. In northern latitudes it is vitally important, they say. Or rather youtube-doctor Andrew Huberman says.

We are now totally there: Programming With Natural Language.

I could only describe the "look and feel" of the ESP32-algorithm driving a sewing machine: "Snappy but not jerky, linear at low speeds, but accelerates fast".

Antigravity made it perfect but incomprehensible for a hewman.

Frozen fish is about the same strength as carbon fiber composite. You need carbide saw to cut it.

Not a good analogy. The seller sees his own name and account number on the customers phone. Which means that the QR-code is read correctly and the money is in secured transit into his account.

There is only one situation when the system faults. And that is when the customers phone is destroyed before updating the server. But these are just virtual pennies for small everyday purchases.

I think China is cashless society but not relying on internet servers. Beggars and street vendor have printed-out QR-code and no phone. You scan the code with Alipay-app and show the confirmation screen to the seller. This is not a real-time transaction. It is executed when the server is available.

Youtube-girl Qingyunji bought some water on remote mountain road using QR-on-cardboard and this is what I assume happened.

Google cuboard has improved greatly Lady Lady lately. Now it does almost understand Finnglish. The word "battery" was the worst, now it seems to go all right every time.

If you were poor in 1993 and could only afford Unix shell-account, all this was very necessary. Nowadays little bit esoteric.

Albeit. I was using tmux on termux, until somebody pointed out you can get new terminal screens by swiping from right (corr. from left).

History of Kharkiv Bicycle Factory in Ukraine.

Praiseworthy because "Timo Noko" is mentioned as a customer. Those bicycles were good but dirt cheap, maybe even 1/10 of Raleigh or Shimano.

When you kayak along Norway coast, you have to use google street view constantly, because communities do not advertise their services seawards and you cannot see from bottom of the fjord what is happening up there.

In de olden times I tried to listen to cars for example. When they seem to slow down, there is invisible Co-op or Narvesen up there.
