Why is the Emacs initialization file -- .emacs, or .emacs.d/init.el -- a hidden file (or in a hidden directory)? Is there some good reason for this? It can make normal operations outside of Emacs unnecessarily awkward.
Dialog boxes in other programs don't deal well with hidden files. For example, I tried to attach my .emacs.d/init.el to an email, in my Gmail account. The Firefox/Gmail dialog doesn't show hidden files or folders, and doesn't let me type in the path name.
It is so you can list your home directory without seeing the gazillion configuration files that are there.
Configuration files in your home directory are usually hidden in linux. Why shouldn't they be hidden? They're nothing you need to see all the time.

I installed vim on windows 10 using chocolatey. When I edit a foo file in powershell, vim leaves behind .foo.un~ or .foo~ files. What are these and how do I stop vim from leaving them around?
These files are backup and undo files. vim also creates swap files if it crashes while editing.
From https://coderwall.com/p/sdhfug/vim-swap-backup-and-undo-files
In powershell, create the following directories:
~/.vim
~/.vim/.undo
~/.vim/.backup
~/.vim/.swp
Edit your .vimrc file by opening vim and typing:
:edit $MYVIMRC
Then, add the following lines, and save:
set undodir=~/.vim/.undo//
set backupdir=~/.vim/.backup//
set directory=~/.vim/.swp//
vim will now put your undo, backup, and swap files in the ~/.vim/.undo, ~/.vim/.backup, and ~/.vim/.swp directories, respectively.

I'd really like to have the ability to automatically create backlinks to org-mode links.
What I mean is:
I have two files a.org and b.org. Inside a.org in heading Links I insert an org-link (with a new function org-link-with-backlink) to b.org. I'd like this to happen automatically: b.org is opened (if not open already) and inside its Links heading a link to a.org is created (if Links doesn't exist yet, create it by say prepending the file).
Thank you very much!
PS [optional]: I intend to use it in conjunction with org-wiki, to the solution could use the wiki style links as an alternative.

Is it possible to have two "Current Folder" windows open in MATLAB?
I have two folders a long way away from one another in the folder tree and need to keep files in the same place as the are referred to by other software.
I should add that I am in the process of importing specific files from each one and cannot do all of one folder at once.
Short answer: no. You need to use commands like cd to change from one folder to another for importing files, or add both folders to your MATLAB path using addpath. The latter has the advantage of referring to any file in these folders without having to specify in which folder they are located.

I realize this question has been answered here, however I'm wondering if anyone can offer more simplistic instructions? I think I could be described as a relatively advanced computer user however I have no experience with assembling and disassembling media files.
Thanks in Advance,

Needed stuff for Windows users:
php.exe (available with EasyPHP)
PHP script https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/blob/master/AdobeHDS.php
Program for renaming several files AF5 Rename http://www.fauland.com/af5.htm
Procedure:
Open the browser cache folder (for Chrome in Windows 7: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile \Cache);
Open the web page with the streaming video;
Look at the cache folder, you now see new files of ~ 1,5 MB created in short intervals;
Copy those files to the folder where resides php.exe;
Copy AdobeHDS.php to the same folder;
Rename files with AF5 Rename from 1.f4f to xxx.f4f (with counter 1-999);
Open dos prompt and go to the php folder and prompt php AdobeHDS.php
The script join the fragments in joined.flv file.
This is it

Claws-mail is my email client and it can launch an external editor when you compose an email. And in general I prefer to use vim as my editor. But with emails I can't find convenient settings.
I want vim to auto wrap lines that exceed 76 characters, but not always, for example if I make an (un)ordered list. I suppose vim can be the most convenient editor out there. So far I only know about the textwidth, the gqip keys to format a paragraph, and the :set formatoption+=a option. I'm a bit confused about the other formatoption settings. So I turn to you and ask:
Which settings will make vim a great email editor?
