What race does this joke denigrate?

It's a joke.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sucks to be him though, Ravi and Gary missed his joke!

Ya, that really does suck.

He's joking. Intentional abuse of the word 'racist'.

OK, I get it now. I must have missed the spate of "That's racist." comments, hence my confusion.

Well, I didn't see many recently either. But it's a general trend online, specially on sites like reddit. Pretty much any disagreement is met with a "that's racist" response.

Ah. Never been to Reddit.

The human race. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Has anyone used this and if so had any joy with it?
It seems like a somewhat half-arsed amateur attempt to me. Maybe because it is open-source MS don't see any profitability in it.
I bought a Netduino Plus 2 (32bit ARM Cortex) which is a little prototyping board which hardware wise is a complete beast in comparison to its competitor - the Arduino which is a weedy 8 bit thing. 168Mhz vs. 16Mhz with a lot more flash and RAM memory.
Unfortunately though, this thing is super slow, principally because it interprets the CIL rather than Jitting it. There is a jitter in the framework source but apparently it doesn't compile and they never bothered to fix it. Also, jitting isn't ideal on flash memory as you can't replace the CIL with native instructions. This would require RAM.
Add in the fact the the framework will likely consume most of your flash memory, interrupt latency of up to 20ms discounting any realtime operation (who'd want that in an embedded device) and appalling documentation on MSDN and you end up with one big turkey. To get the I2C bus working on it, you have to twiddle some private members using reflection every time you want to read/write data.
So, I've given up and bought an Arduino for £10 which is likely to be quicker and £40 less expensive, and hopefully won't give me a four day headache like its counterpart.
*moan over*

There are lots of Arduino alternative[^] out there, even though I suspect that the Arduino Mega[^] board is good enough for a lot of activities.

Can't you just dump the microframework and write / find your own? The ARM core is a wonderful beast to work with, a heck of a lot more fun than any 8 bit micro I ever worked with!

Yes, I've been thinking about that. I know ARM, although my knowledge is about 22 years old from an old Archimedes.
There seems to be two problems:
1. .NET does give you very nice debug support which I'm going to miss
2. Development tools. You need eclipse which needs Java and I have a rule about having that in my house. Then you need the GNU ARM toolchain etc. I just get so frustrated trying to set these things up.
Microsoft have an ARM assembler somewhere in Visual studio but its output is going to be a PE file, whereas what I think I need is a binary file to load into the bottom of the address map. It's not a trivial thing to do I don't think.

Rob Philpott.

Could be worse. For a recent PIC32 project, the vendors C IDE was based on NetBeans.

I don't know what NetBeans is but I don't like the sound of it.
Suppose I should find out for knowledge sake..
