Scepticism, science, and the trivialities of life. What more could you want? Saturday, 28 March 2015. Game Review: Frozen Cortex. The rogue-like FTL: Faster Than Light. I'd get it right. I'd shield the doors earlier, or make sure to stock up on extra missiles, or avoid saving the crew of a ship on fire. Which brings me to Frozen Cortex. Is what you get when you cross American Football with Frozen Synapse. Already rocking up close to 30 hours of game time. The entire game consists of short matches, with e...

Scepticism, science, and the trivialities of life. What more could you want? Saturday, 1 February 2014. Adopting The Rational Stance. Are computer programmers under the illusion that humans are purely rational beings who have not understood the role of emotion in cognition? Any debate over ideas is an invitation to adopt the rational stance - to treat a problem as an object of rational thought, and assess the relative merits as if. It were put forward by a rational agent. The goal, normatively-speaki...

Kelosophy: The Why of A*
http://kelosophy.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-why-of-a.html
Scepticism, science, and the trivialities of life. What more could you want? Saturday, 22 November 2014. The Why of A*. For pathfinding, breadth-first search (BFS) is almost always preferable to depth-first search (DFS). The general problem of a breadth-first search is that it is resource-intensive. Depth-first follows a single path that grows as the path is explored. Breadth-first explores multiple paths at once, with the amount of paths growing exponentially. Is the total distance travelled, h. With th...

Scepticism, science, and the trivialities of life. What more could you want? Wednesday, 12 June 2013. The List So Far. To Kill A Mockingbird. Grave Of The Fireflies. The Godfather Part II. The Rules Of The Game. Labels: 2013 Film Challenge. What The Film Challenge Has Taught Me. Even being cognisant of my own ignorance, the task was too monumental. The film that tripped me up what Chaplin's alleged masterpiece City Lights. May be a historic achievement in filmmaking, but I'm at a loss to comprehend it.

Thinking for Free: December 2009
http://thinkingforfree.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A blog on skepticism, religion and atheism; by a vegetable alkaloid, an extinct shelled cephalopod, and a (deceased) Siamese cat. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Actually, this isn't, but that's what you're supposed to write on New Year's Eve, so stickler for tradition that I am. To which I really also ought to contribute more). Posts that went there and not here this year were:. They're So Cute When They Play "Science Museum". A post-event followup to Blasphemy Day. Blasphemy: Free Speech or Obnoxiosity?

A blog on skepticism, religion and atheism; by a vegetable alkaloid, an extinct shelled cephalopod, and a (deceased) Siamese cat. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Stood up by Jesus? Joshua Sullivan at Think Atheist. Has some complaints about the oft-heard evangelistic slogan "Christianity isn't a religion; it's a relationship". As a former participant in that end of Christianity, I think I can shed a little light on the subject for him. First, where and when did this meme come from? Out there who treat that slog...

Scepticism, science, and the trivialities of life. What more could you want? Friday, 21 March 2014. Review: God in the Age of Science? It is unfortunate that critiques of the utility of religion are taken as the reason for critiques on the truth of religion. It's not that God is a nonsense notion, it's that atheists have some psychological hatred of theism as it is practised. Herman Philipse's book completely focuses on the second category. This category is further narrowed by the distinction between...

This was the kind of match I expected from the Socceroos before the tournament again, where nothing was particularly wrong with how they played, but that they were simply outclassed by a better team. Spain finally looked like the team that won the last world cup - strong in attack, resolute in defence. Thursday, 19 June 2014. The Socceroos looked li...

Thinking for Free: Ken Ham: Liar, Hypocrite and Hate-Monger.
http://thinkingforfree.blogspot.com/2010/01/ken-ham-liar-hypocrite-and-hate-monger.html
A blog on skepticism, religion and atheism; by a vegetable alkaloid, an extinct shelled cephalopod, and a (deceased) Siamese cat. Thursday, January 14, 2010. Ken Ham: Liar, Hypocrite and Hate-Monger. Ken Ham doesn't trust us. Thus, a Creator who owns them, to whom they owe their existence, and against whom they have rebelled, is anathema to them! I’m sure most of you realize that you often can’t trust what atheists say. After all, if there is no absolute authority, there is no basis for r...Dear Ham-head...
