You're technically correct (the best kind of correct)! However, I don't think any materialist would deny laws of physics exist. We might say that how materials interact with each other is an intrinsic property of material itself,

It's clear to me personally (N=1) that exercise is fantastic to reduce/prevent depression, but I don't see any indication this study showed causality (nor does it claim to, to be fair). People who are depressed are less likel

I don't know. The universe does not know or care about our laws and they are incomplete. For example, we have no idea how consciousness works, so at this point we stop at "I don't know", rather than inventing explanatio

I believe they're our current best approximation to how the universe behaves based on our empirical observations.

I'm an extreme materialist, I don't believe in gods or spirits or anything of the sort. I don't even believe in the magic some people call "free will". I first tried LSD about 10 years ago and have taken various for

One big reason I use i3 is because I find the Windows and macOS style alt/cmd tab incredibly unintuitive. It is not easy to consistently predict how many times to press it to get the desired result. With i3 I bind keys to specific thin

Fixed. For those not familiar with the slang, "Scooby" is apparently a response to say one doesn't understand what you're talking about and could use a clue. However, even a Google search on the typo of "repoructive

ADHD doesn't need to be free of negatives as long as it improves survival and reproductive chances. The inability to focus and lack of memory recall, for example, may either not matter or just be negligible compared to other factors. W

I've been using the foo+bar@mydomain trick for over 20 years. I have given this form of email address to well over 1,000 companies and I get exceptionally little spam to foo@mydomain.

Not the GP but we tend to use decently small and meaningful commits to make PRs easier to review. They then get squashed, so you can only (easily) revert the whole PR.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, AI could generate absolutely perfect invented videos of arbitrary people doing literally anything. The consequence will be that video will no longer be taken seriously as evidence for crimes. People

I realize you're referring specifically to general .au, but I don't think the average person will think to try foo.au instead of foo.com.au and .com.au isn't opened up to my knowledge. The name must be derived from your regis

The ones in Australia aren't perfect though. I use Coles and Woolworths mostly in the Sydney CBD: - bad touch screens that lag. - even more lag when you're trying to pay. - frequent (about 60% of visits) requirement for staff beca

I didn't make any claim around the quality of "The Book of Shaders", I was objecting to the unqualified implication of the OP that a book is low quality due to being incomplete. If OP had expanded on why it was low quality ot

Books of this nature don't need to be completed to be useful and high quality.

Yes, an anti-résumé listing only what one has not studied or experienced but limited to things that one has even the vaguest aspirations of one day studying or experiencing would be a great thing to have.

Yes, but I have no patience for that. As soon as one game is done I've either had enough of chess for now or want the dopamine hit of the next game immediately.

I bought a 2017 Mercedes a few months ago and was disgusted to find that I was unable to update my map data beyond 2020. In the first week of ownership I had driven on to roads that didn't exist in their map. Also, it appeared to have

Looks good! In case anyone else wonders (first thing I wanted to know), UCI (to talk to engines and online chess) is in the to-do, not yet implemented.
