your link is about the behavior when Mario hits a brick whereas OP was talking about acceleration of Mario (I think he means running?!). Quite interesting link, nonetheless!

especially when talking about UK, it's far from over (no matter what Boris Johnson is telling his people). With 30.000 cases per day and more opening up planned (and the Euro finals tomorrow), more and more people will get covid. Even

I wonder how improved traffic could be if we somehow had managed that people driving alone would be driving in a vehicle that is suited for exactly 1 person. (although now I'm having pictures in my head of the insane traffic in India&#

I have a similar history and opinion regarding chess and Go (maybe not quite as crass). I "liked" chess, whereas I love Go. With Go I really had to learn to picture the next steps on the board, because otherwise you couldn't

there has been an analysis of the second biggest public health insurer in Germany (Barmer) that had a statistic that said that 6-7% of all of those infected were ill (and not working) for more than 12 weeks (and the numbers for young people

the more the virus spreads, the higher the possibility of variants. Since vaccination reduces the spread of virus, it helps (tremendously) to reduce the chances of variants.

At least right now the service appears to be down. So that's one way to tackle this ;)

I'm with you. But we're probably in the minority. I notice that my after-work hours are vastly improved if I work 1-2hours less than my usual 8 hours just because those last hours are the most draining, somehow, mentally. So cutti

I still don't understand why we "believed" studies that claimed knowledge about typical behavior and subconscious decisions while those studies were only based on a single experiment with limited participants, e.g. Stanford P

I think this is one of the most important points. Resting = less stress. Additionally, in Europe when you're ill it doesn't count against your holidays.

at least here in Germany the biggest companies like to expand into Eastern Europe (think Slovakia, Hungary, also Russia), where these IT experts help in the German projects. They even get many of those people to learn German! The price pres

People often handwave away what doesn't fit in their world view. So if you lived in Germany during those times and heard whispers about the genocide your first thought would be: "But in the news papers it's nowhere to be foun

I read an interview[1] with the general secretary of German trade and he lamented that in Germany for many, many years the consensus was that more and more people had to study. Thias was also because the OECD said so, not just German politi

wow, I always thought he had adopted his children. But he didn't, they were his own. It's written that he thought about adopting boys later in life but didn't. Still, I'm shocked that I remember this so wrong. Thanks for

That's an intriguing point. I always thought children of professors/teachers would be better in school because their parents would push them (gently!) in that direction (and because they are probably genetically inclined to be goo

That's great! Minecraft was never "my" game but I was always happy that this kinda lego game was the most successful game last decade, because it's so creative. Just shows that gamers (or young people or whatever) aren

You'd worry like your dad, and in the end your kid would still find its way like you did :) Also, there's no use in regrets. Only lessons learned.

I'm with you, at least in so far as people may be able to learn these things as well (or improve); but not necessarily everyone. I, for one, hadn't thought in pictures in a long, long, long time. And it took me a while to find out

It's a true point albeit a delicate one. I have a colleague who is not the brightest (not a developer ;)) and what I've noticed with him is that there's something of a misunderstanding of social contexts in that he interprete

yeah but the real question is how is remote work reshaping where people work. And by that I mean on a more granular level: How many of those jobs in big cities will go elsewhere and where to exactly? And that's why I like the idea of t

we should look at the big picture not just the percentages that those people are taxed at the end. Because in many cases the leading question is: How come they earn so much more than every one else? Is it through sheer talent and grit or is

problem is in the US the people would still be talking about this old stuff as proof that you cannot trust whomever (similar to how the example of Fauci having "lied" about masks is STILL brought up 1 year later) instead of usin
