Fantastic. Thank you.

My impression was that node took some of the momentum that Ruby had as a server-side language for web development.

Thanks for that!

The page is not responding. I smell Bigfoot.

"A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare."

Proverbs 15:1

"If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink. You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the LORD will reward you."

Proverbs 25:21,22

I'm glad I finished the series of questions because it was fun to see how my values compared to others on the results page.

They were exploring moral relativism scenarios in schools back in the 1960's. The open machine intelligence part seems to be just good window dressing (I clicked after all). It isn't about machines as much as human psychology. I doubt autonomous cars are going to be programmed to take potential fatalities fitness, gender, or profession into account.

"The researchers found that there was considerable variation in how much wisdom people showed from one situation to the next."

It sounds to me that the study's questions likely rely on a very specific understanding of what wisdom is. Whoever wrote those questions must be very wise indeed! (sarcasm)

>So our universe must fundamentally be a supernatural creation?

In my comment I wasn't making the argument that our universe must fundamentally be a supernatural creation. I was trying to show that presupposing it is a natural creation is not philosophically neutral, especially when what we have observed naturally seems to oppose the idea of energy or matter coming out of nowhere.

>What is your evidence? From my perspective, accepting the probability of a transcendent creator is a reasonable conclusion to draw based on the existence of the universe. I realize that will be judged to be a 'faith position', but from my perspective so is supposing it could exist on it's own.

Fair enough. He was specifically speaking to 'naturalness' as technical designation in physics. I am getting a little more general.

The scientific method seeks to be entirely empirical - which makes sense for understanding what we can observe.

But what happens when what you are trying to understand is not observable? You fool yourself if you think you are being empirical when you are not. (His comment about moving the yardsticks applies here).

Any endeavor to understand the universe, especially origins, ends up involving philosophical presuppositions. Science aspires to avoid that, but can it?

The OP made a side-comment about 'idea of naturalness' being a philosophical tenet. That's a problem because science claims to be philosophically neutral, which is impossible.

Science looks for a system which can exist without supernatural intervention, but the creation of time/space/matter doesn't fit within those constraints.

Admittedly that is a philosophical or even theological take, but at least it's honest.

You may want to consider masking the shoe flavor with BBQ sauce. :) Google Trends reports that people have been searching for Julie in bursts over the last decade. It's interesting to say the least: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=julie%20rubicon&cmpt...

Nice game. Something weird can happen in the brain when we have to choose a binary answer under pressure. Maybe the fact that we are answering positively for prime (which is not the default) adds to that. For me it helped to rename 'yes' to 'prime' and 'no' to 'divisible'.

I've used both for hobby games. Corona is user-friendly and it's a great solution with lots of community plug-ins and support. It uses a freemium model, offering features like access to native API's and offline builds at a price, and you can't really use it on Linux. LÖVE is free and open-source and adding support for Android and iOS makes it even more attractive.

Trying to explain behavior with science is problematic and susceptible to the prejudice of the researcher, but you don't need to interpret data to know that parenting matters - it is a bare metal fact of life. Many animals can't even survive without solid training from their parents.

I guess maybe chrome for Ubuntu doesn't have webGL? It doesn't work. The console says:

BTW, I played in Firefox and got to level 7. Fun!

If the future or present influence the past, it undermines scientific study, including, ironically, the hypothesis of the article, because disruption from the future would be an unknown variable in every experiment. It's pretty hard to understand what can happen outside the dimensions we are constrained by.

If the past is malleable, we could keep using the scientific method, but with humility, like: "The experiment's data support my claim so long as there was not unknown interference from actors unbound by linear time, space, and matter."

That sentiment is not too far from the attitude of many of us, rational people, who believe that in addition to humanly measurable causes, there are also supernatural or spiritual realities to consider.

"Tape served as a lever for positioning the chip."

Serious mathematicians will feel his title was misleading or dishonest. Considering the proportion of mathematicians to the general public, the teacher is probably not targeting mathematicians - he's a mathematician targeting the mathematically curious. With that in mind, the title is perfect.

'Live Preview' from the Fakia page produces a Host Gator 500 error.

That is a subjective conclusion to draw on the data. Wouldn't associating an aggressive face with an object just as likely drive a more aggressive response when the subjects saw it again?

Since Red means both 'Cancel' and 'Delete', use something else: Black. Black, like: 'an empty black hole is where your data will go.'

Someone make a realistic surfing game!

Impressive

Bootstrap has default/fluid/fixed to choose between, which can be confusing. In terms of mechanics, you nest .container, .row, and .span# and .offset#. It's just more complex.

I don't know how Pure does nested because I haven't tried it, but from reading the docs, it looks like you just put a new .pure-g classed div inside whatever cell you are nesting inside, then put the nested units inside it.
