Motorcycles come into their own when touring (IMO). You can tour on bicycle too, but it's a lot slower (i.e. takes up more vacation time to visit the same number of different places) and more effort (especially considering bringing luggage up and over mountains).

I don't have the time to tour from London to Croatia by bicycle, and there's no way I could consider it in any two-week break. I did it last summer by motorbike, and it was nothing to cross multiple mountain passes a day along the way.
About the ^H, are you by any means telneting into a network server? That's the only way to get this problem that I know of on a modern Linux.

If so, use nc or ncat, telnet expects a terminal at the other end, something no system exports anymore. It's only there for interaction with ancient configurations.

> Meanwhile Apple comes off as fully committed to their customers' privacy even when it means standing up to the US government.

My conspiracy theory instincts tell me that this is a play to fool us into thinking that Apple is fighting for our privacy, in order to make us trust Apple unconditionally and in the meantime not develop new ways of hiding our communications. In reality I think the government always gets what it wants.

I'm not saying .net is the best web dev platform, not at all, but i wouldn't say it's worse than most. It has it's own set of pros/cons, like every other, but generally, to me it looks quite decent, despite heavyweight VS/IIS, which is another story. Looking at mvc, rest, looks pretty much like any other modern dev stack:/

> Do you believe this claim is false?

Yes.

> If this claim were true, would a person who believes it be a racist?

Yes. Well, it's complicated (not because it's nuanced but because you haven't rigorously defined what "it" means in a way that covers all relevant variables), but yes.

And here's why. As usual, the reason some people have a hard time understanding this is that they construct a model with their own set of axioms, then follow some inference rules, reach a conclusion, and then convince themselves that they're rigorous. This is plainly false, because their choice of axioms and variables not only uniquely determines the outcome, but a different choice of variables and axioms would lead to a completely different outcome, and that other choice may be far more reasonable given the facts. So far the preamble. Now for the explanation:

You make an axiomatic assumption that "black" is just an arbitrary "cluster". This is factually false. A far more historically correct axiomatization would be that "black" is a "cluster of people singled out by Europeans, and then systematically tortured, killed, enslaved, disenfranchised, humiliated and marginalized for generations". Now, is it possible that a test could be constructed that would statistically yield lower score for a cluster of people singled out for humiliation and marginalization? Absolutely, but your question was about a person who believes IQ etc..

Most people clearly understand that such a test is meaningless (i.e. that it does not measure intelligence) in the ethics of distributing power, and therefore "believing it" is not even something they consider. It's like asking me if I believed that the people living in some distant galaxy eat something similar to cheese. Yes, it's possible, but it's not something you think about. Now, in order to precisely answer your question, I need to understand exactly what you mean by a "person who believes it". Do you mean a person who thinks it's feasible to construct a test that a marginalized group would score lower on than the hegemony? In that case, no, they would not be racist. If, OTOH, they believe that a marginalized group happens to be intrinsically less intelligent and therefore less deserving of power in society, then yes; they would 100% be racist.

So the flaw is (as always) in the premise that "black" is an instance of the free variable "cluster". That assumption needs justification, which frankly would be very hard to come by given historical evidence. In fact, "black" and "IQ test" having a very strong causal bond (with IQ tests being designed for the very purpose of excluding marginalized group). It would even be more correct (although very, very far from accurate) to say that "IQ" is defined to be "that which gives blacks lower scores", or even "blacks is those who score less" (which is even far less accurate, but still more accurate than your premise), than presuming (counter to historical evidence) that the two are independent variables.
Couldn't they add 1.5TB of swap to their 1.5TB of memory system and run a ramdisk on that? I'm curious what performance would look like, but given 2-3k IOPS for the on-disk solution, and 20k IOPS for the in-memory I would naively expect at least 11k IOPS for random access, which should have been fast enough without the headache of clustering?
Hey read the comment I was responding to. He asked for my CV, that's why I responded like that.

Serious, non-snarky question:

If you're only using Emacs for OrgMode, my answer is an resolute, "No". You're far better finding a tool that fits in with your current workflow.

The last time we had a post about Emacs, I wrote a rather long winded response, but the summation of it was this: the value in investing in tools like Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs, etc is when you can pile as much of your workflow into that tool is possible. The power of Emacs is that it is a completely customizable tool. It's primary purpose, of course, is to be a text editor, but you can configure it to be an email reader, web browsing client, note taking tool, it can run external commands, etc. It's powerful, and it can literally be the only application you have open.

The downfall with Emacs is that integrating it in certain environments, namely Windows, is not a trivial matter. I use Visual Studio, Outlook, and Lync at work. I could configure all of that to run in Emacs, but then I'd be taked with maintaining that in addition to my own work.

Sure, I'll agree we can't have a completely open-door policy for everything because that would be chaos, but for stuff that's easy to make copies of I think we should.

So to go with your example, I agree we don't all get to ride in spaceships (much as I'd like to), but I do think that it's not unreasonable to request the rocket designs and published papers that came out of NASA when they were building these rockets.

Really? People adopt and foster because they either can't have children themselves or because they think that helping children in need is a moral responsibility. People raise their relatives' children because of a sense of familial obligation.

Well, you can use a common abstraction for elements that make sense on both platforms and have platform-specific components that does exactly what you want and that you will use only in one version.

If the wrapper doesn't do what you want, you can still write that portion in native or write your own wrapper with an underlying implementation that does exactly what you want.
I believe even in the short term, tested code gets done faster than non tested code, simply because you tend to waste so little time in trivial mistakes when you test.

"Of course, other things equal, you are better off with more money."

This is not always true.

Posessions like money often bring with them envy and jealousy from others, who may try to deceive or hurt you to get what you have.

I recommend watching the documentary "Born Rich" for some relatively benign examples of the social isolation kids born in to rich families suffer, how some of them can't be sure if others genuinely like them or are just after their money, etc. It's also interesting to see how some of them reject their inheritances and try to live "normal" lives, without help from their families.

Then there are the less benign examples in the news all the time, of people getting conned, robbed, killed or kidnapped for their money.

The possession of money can also ruin families and relationships just as surely as the lack of money.

> And what your experiences have been on Windows (...)?

besides all the bullshit you refer (and I believe if linux desktop was mainstream, Samsung would have a crapball of the same size for that), my main experience is:

it feels like the complete OS including Kernel was built around one primary target: the most important task the computer has to take care of is to update the user's display and to respond to the user's mouse and keyboard input as fast as it can. Nothing else matters if there is a problem with the UI look and feel.
"It has a price : performance, sometimes native look&feel not perfectly accurate, supported platform must have similarities."

This is what makes the whole idea a complete non-starter. Users want apps without perceptible latency for their interactions, that look and (more importantly) work like the other apps they are used to. Hard to come up with more important criteria for a successful end user application than these.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I still prefer to stay in bash even when I need loops and conditionals. If I'm already writing in Python, then sure, Python it is. Or ruby, or js, or whatever I'm in. But when I'm in bash and I can do it easily enough in bash, why complicate?

Again, just opening an incognito window or a new computer/ip isn't going to do it alone.

With interpreted text languages, and indeed with machine code, there are no types to associate with a value and a value may very well be executable code.
