We've asked you many times to stop breaking the HN guidelines, and instead you've turned to outright personal attack. That's not allowed here, so we've banned this account.

Consider an alternate comment on an alternate topic: "Sorry Mrs. black female, but on the limits of multiprocessing vs multithreading I'd far prefer to trust a skilled systems engineer who came from old school computer architecture traditions that are scientifically demonstrated to work."

This is an appeal to authority which fails even to cite the authority. Additionally, it's racist/sexist and an ad-hominem because it implicitly assumes that the author - by virtue of their race/gender - cannot be a systems engineer/meditation practitioner/etc.
