You have to consider the scope of the knowledge we are able to obtain about the deep past. We certainly know nothing about the particular events of a given day 2 billion years ago, but we can determine lots of broad/granular knowledge based on the available evidence.

When it comes to physics, we are able to verify both the accuracy of models in the present and the consistency of these models with evidence from the past, all the way back to the inflationary period after the “big bang”. The universality of physics across time and space is generally a necessary assumption to seek any understanding of the universe across time and space. This does not, however, mean that this assumption is baseless. A universe inconsistent with this assumption would almost certainly produce evidence of this inconsistency, which has never been shown to be the case. To the contrary, tests of universality on observations from the distant universe based on physical constants measured here on Earth have only ever been consistent with universality.

We can wax philosophical all day about the unknowability of all things outside our own minds; but ultimately we must work with the tools at our disposal, fallible though they may be, to understand our world. The same tools that allow us to know that a ball will fall when thrown also allow us to understand the early, and distant, universe.

You are both the wojak on the left

I want a fast soup restaurant. Very healthy vegan soup, which may take a while to make, but it’s already made in the morning so it’s fast.

Does human context include record-keeping? Quickly sorting and searching (not just with a computer) is very important for that

Green Room is a pretty good one

When driving a car, would you swerve into a haybale to avoid hitting a human? Would you swerve into a human to avoid running over a pile of soybeans?

“implies”

So you have no idea how scientific evidence works.

What is your argument against slavery under this moral framework?

Yes

The justification is on the linked page

We don’t necessarily need a full 1 G. We could probably get away with 0.5 G or even less. I wonder if things get more practical if we just have enough artifical gravity for orientation, standing, and sitting

I would think even tiny decreases in stability would drastically increase the frequency of system crashes. Software is generally made expecting total consistency in computer instructions like, for example, integer arithmetic. Any interference with that would probably not be cost-effective on the part of the chip manufacturer.

Nowhere is haunted and superstition is harmful to society

I started using Helix a few weeks ago and I’m in love. I don’t want to spend multiple weekends figuring out the ideal plugin configuration of neovim. Helix seems to do everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t, right out of the box.

Make soup (from veggies and beans). Eat fruit for your snacks multiple times a day. Always go for whole grains (bread, pasta, rice, etc.). Eliminate cheese entirely (seriously, it is terrible for you). Replace milk with soy milk (doesn’t have the saturated fat or sugar). Reduce or eliminate meat consumption. Avoid added sugars when possible.

A good rule of thumb that I find helpful is that the majority of ingredients in all meals should naturally contain non-negligible amounts of fiber. The things you eat should also mostly have plenty of water in them already for bulk and digestion. Dry foods (including oil-based foods) are far too easy to overeat.

These are relatively simple rules that leave tons of options for variety but force you to have a fairly healthy diet. They are easy to implement in a lifelong diet with no need for calorie-counting.

Not an embedded dev. What’s the Rust situation in the embedded world? Is it ever used?

This makes me wonder what people who live in permanently docked house boats do/are supposed to do with their sewage

Well it kind of stands for nothing, because at the center of this onion is GNU, which is recursive. It stands for “GNU’s Not UNIX”, so the G in GNU stands for GNU.
