Yeah, that's a very harsh comment. Nonetheless, there is something to be learnt here: If anything, the comments of the fans show that this artstyle alienates many of the fans. So, if for example the artstyle would've been showed a

the last week in Hamburg was the worst (at least monday through thursday) for me personally. Although the temperatures were only between 22° and 27° C, because of its way higher humidity than was usual decades ago my body just couldn't

if I had the choice between cooperating with narcissists or with caring people, I'd also take the latter. Often we don't have the choice.

the real question is who is more productive when watched over vs. who is less productive when watched over? I'm certainly in the second category. Depends on a lot of factors, I'd guess. Certainly, most managers won't know whi

Once we're in that future, I'll gladly take gig work over office work. However, as a European I have high hopes that it will take longer to get to that than in the US.

Thank you for saying this so eloquently. It's a sad state where this elephant in the room isn't talked or acknowledged really. Well, ok, it's politically "unfeasable" but still if we don't even acknowledge it,

yes, I had similar lessons years ago with options, forex etc. (ok, yes... I needed more than one lesson :D) However, since I am a person that likes to "risk" their well-earned money, I think it's good that I have burnt my fin

Same. I found it impossible to concentrate. Similar disrupting effect as gifs (visual noise) next to the text or similar.

btw. for the other readers: the 48% f/m in STEM is split as follows according to the linked study above: 74% (f/m) in health sciences; 27% in engineering; 32% in information technology; 60% in natural, physical and mathematical sc

I really wonder how this thread would've fared if you had posted it at a different time. Because you posted it in the afternoon in Europe, so you probably received more attention from Europeans. However, as a German myself I'd agr

we need to put climate action on a similarly high pedestal as for-profit-work. So that we get a lot more jobs that have no (direct) monetary value but anti-climate-change-value, e.g. planting trees, conversation of nature, energy savings co

My opinion is that he failed as a teacher. I mean, come on, imagine a scenario where class A has a test and class B has the same test a day after. Of course the people in class B will ask the people of class A what was in the test. Of cours

that explains how it was possible for the developers of Diablo 1 to turn the game from turn-based to real-time in a single afternoon :) yes, originally it was developed as turn-based and I often wonder if that's one reason why the anim

There are rules in the EU that allow newer devices only 0.5W or 1W standby power, so basically we have to thank the EU that standby devices don't kill us by thousand cuts. I recently bought a device to measure my power consumption and

no, it's actually worthwhile. Studies for Germany said that reducing room temperature by 1 degree Celsius mean that 5-6% less gas would be used for that. Households account for like 43%[1] of gas consumption in Germany and within that

the studies said something about remembering where exactly something happened (e.g. it's easier to remember if you have pages instead of infinite scroll). Also, books are not as distracting as screens (I'd call it "light nois

These games (e.g. Monkey 1+2) weren't made by many people, they were made by a handful of people. Like 3 people for dialogues and story, so the impact of a single person is way higher than in AAA games. And as I said the great thing is

the derision of MI3 stems from the fact that it's not Ron Gilbert "endorsed" (or made from him). My personal opinion is that it's stylistically above everything else but I recently played 3 and 4 again and I have to say:

the elephant in the room (that is really overlooked in these discussions) is that a lot of the current inflation is not coming from money policies but rather from supply side issues. E.g. gas and oil due to the ukraine war (also wheat, nick

I like that the HN title is (right now): "Oil plunges as much as 17% as UAE says support output hike" Whereas the real title is: "Oil records worst day since pandemic as UAE calls for output hike" It really rubs me the w

yes, I might have this although I'm not entirely sure. I'm in the midst of a 1 week holiday (at home) and where I usually had to wake up at 8:30 am now after just 5 days I'm already at 1 pm wake-up time, just naturally. I alw

yeah piracy seems to be the only way to archive some games (like download only games for Wii U). Otherwise they would be lost forever.
