Emacs keybindings work just about everywhere on a Mac.

It definitely hurt the telescope optics market, there is no longer an affordable supplier of borosilicate optical blanks.

Then it wasn't Windows, Emacs crashes every so often on Windows XP/7

It was still repoze.bfg back then

I recall Slackware Linux requiring 13 disks

Don't worry about it too much. It's just a way to configure your Emacs with some niceties while you're busy learning the editor. I've spent a bit of time digging through the starter kits and learning how everything is configured for the languages I care about. The keybindings mods and additions are much better than the Emacs defaults.

I use technomancy's, I'd assume the differences are negligible and great changes make their way back to technomancy.

I was a long time vim user too. I switched to emacs after witnessing slime and clojure. I can't image life without org-mode anymore.

HISTCONTROL="ignorespace"

now you can keep a given command from history

find ...

<space>!! -delete

find ...

!! -delete

Actually, it's an easy way to: - add two numbers - build the project with dependencies - display stack traces - deliver static files - generate html from code - validate user input - host with a web server - reload the web server during development - handle url routing - log requests - create custom middleware - deploy to EC2

You may have glossed over some of the details.

So, you'll depend on the rest of the world to vaccinate so you can benefit from herd immunity and not chance the impossible odds that anti-vaccine conspiracy theories are correct?

No, maybe not a wacko, just selfish and uninformed. Vaccine preventable diseases coming back. Children are dying at the hands of the anti-vaccine movement.

What! No Paredit?

"Data from the British Chiropractic Association..."

I'd trust data from the Tooth Fairy Association as much if not more.

No, but I regret it after having my top cover replaced to resolve a dead trackpad. I never buy extended warranties, I'm probably ahead nonetheless.

Why demonize HFCS (over sugar) before science shows any of the conspiracy theorists claims are true? It sounds like the vast majority of anti-HFCS claims have no supporting evidence. As far as obesity is concerned, HFCS and sugar are probably equivalent.

You forgot Incanter :)

The FDA has the power to prosecute for unproven claims.

Regulating woo could give it more credibility.

So far only one video appears from 2010. The audio is great, much improved from last years audio.

No.

Water can poison and kill you at a large enough dosage. Oxygen too. Treating cancer with homeopathy is harmless until the cancer kills you. All medicine (supported by science or not) carries some risk, the poison is in the dosage.

Woo practitioners are more than happy to bankrupt their victims, what's the harm?

A Milwaukee girl died of diabetes recently, her parents were trying to cure her with prayer.

$ emacs -q works pretty well for quick edits too

Sadly, this will only put a small dent in the anti-vaccination cloaked as autism advocacy movement.

And yet, this RCT shows that it has no effect.

smells like worms

Your idea of science is different than mine.

Other PL/SQL

Vaccines aren't 100% effective in all people. You can catch a virus you were vaccinated against, but your odds of immunity are improved.

> Know anyone that has had H1N1 yet?

Yes, a former colleague of mine had H1N1 this summer. He was put into a drug induced coma and intubated for 3 weeks. He is in his mid-30s and seemingly healthy.

Is that statistic based solely on the 1976 vaccine? If so, I'm not sure it's relevant today.

I have a barely functioning immune system

That is why you should ask your doctor if you should get the vaccine. Immunosuppressed are on the high risk list and are encouraged to get the vaccine.

Jefferson's research doesn't show that the seasonal flu vaccine has no efficacy, just data showing that it has less efficacy for people over 60. He's mostly criticized for dismissing the convergence of independent evidence of efficacy for the vaccine. He has a higher burden to bear if he's to get a review board to approve of a flu vaccine RCT. Oh, and the article comes out just in time for a flu pandemic, promoting fear.
