E-mail was always asynchronous communication tool.

For people who like to see waving three dots in iPhone chat, e-mailing makes them anxious. So I understand that apology is quite normal.

It is a sort of generational difference, imho.

Chats are ambiguous because it functions both as sync and async. I treat my whatsapp messages as async, but time and again I get heat from people because I take too long to reply, something I'll never feel the urge to apologize for.

I see this in the opposite direction at work. I'll send someone a chat message after their working hours and they'll actually reply apologizing that can't look now and will reply tomorrow. Or that they're just waking up and they'll look later today. Yeah, that's what I expect! Why on earth are you looking at your work chat outside of your work hours??

I feel squeezed in the middle between antsy-verbose zoomer emailers and terse boomer emailers that hit me with ambiguous 5 word replies or those godforsaken emojii email reacts.

My decree is that 95% of emails should be three sentences double-spaced. 5% should be paragraphs. Hypertext is permissible almost entirely because of quote formatting, which should be used liberally so that each email is as self-contained as possible.

You do not need hypertext to prefix lines with "> ".

written letters are asynchronous but people expected timely (relative to snail mail) replies even back then.

The Roman Empire took 400 years to collapse, but in San Francisco they know the singularity will occur on (next) Tuesday.

The answer to the meaning of life is 42, by the way :)

Was thinking what if we had 42/43 days a month. Will the singularity date end-up on 42nd of a month but sadly it doesn't.

However, it does fall on a 42nd day if we have 45/46 days per month!

For ë there is no transcription therefore i would prefer slöpe that you can write as sloepe :)

I visited ESPboards.dev website and S3 version is “Best for AI & Machine Learning Applications - Hardware-accelerated neural network processing”.

Deep rabbit hole…

Thanks.

But everyone would have to take advantage of that benefit not having ID have with themselves.

The behavior of corporations is shameful.

After all, people in these companies don't work for free and are able to spend a lot of money for other services.

Haven't you just hit the nail on the head? Corporations do not feel shame even if people within them do; hence actions . . .

SwissMicros calculators are absolute gem. Thanks.

They even have printed manual for DM32. https://www.swissmicros.com/product/user-manual-dm32

I have switched to lamotrigin, it helps to balance mood as I had bad mood in months with less sunshine. Lamotrigin is not an antidepressant, previously it was used for epilepsy stabilisation but now it is prescribed for mood swings. (This is not a medical advice.)

It is still prescribed for epilepsy. I am actually hoping for some medication stories if anyone/someone they know has ADHD and epilepsy. It's for a juvenile, but your stories can be for any age. Or pointers to any resources about the combo.

Or counted for later concentration.

Similarly, Nazis did this with census machines so they knew how to scale concentration camps.

In 2001, Edwin Black published a book about strategic partnership of IBM with Nazis since 1933 til end of WWII.

I have checked right now that Multi-User Dungeons we played in the 90s, still exist and are played. 35 years later!

Telnet or Mudnet client needed :)

I’ve just poked my schoolmate - he almost didn’t graduate because of MUD.

During the Summer of 1997, I stayed at my university and had a job at the computer lab in the basement of the library. We had four Windows 95 PCs, four Mac Quadras, and then tons of VT terminals. I specifically remember the one at the lab assistants desk being a VT-320. Anyway, it was enough for me to telnet to BatMUD. I got all the way up to level 32 or so (and made some friends!) before I stopped playing. Man, that was a great Summer. Well ... it was great until I got cheated on but that's a whole other story. :-p

MUDding both taught me programming and pretty well wrecked my schooling, although in fairness, I didn't take college very seriously. Never finished my degree, which I now regret.

But you know TCL :)

Why do you regret it? People 40+ and juniors can't get jobs now anyways. Even with proper degrees.

These were lpmuds, so I know object-oriented C.

I know things are brutal out there, but if I find myself unemployed, I’ll need every possible edge I can find. Homelessness is decidedly suboptimal.
