Have to include ChessNetwork https://www.youtube.com/ChessNetworkTV/videos
If people like Gotham/Nakamura/ChessBrahs aren't your style, ChessNetwork is calm and straight forward without all of the youtube/twitch "entertainer" personality I find grating.

Very nice! Have to point out the spelling error, losing* not loosing.

Reminds me of the man who became wealthy by not growing alfalfa.

ChessBase is selling this Stockfish clone for
€99.90. They have also disabled comments on all of their articles so far about Fat Fritz 2. Not a good look.

I bought this inexpensive one from amazon and my life has never been the same. Once you go bidet there's no going back.

I have the exact same problem. When I know what needs to get done, even if it's tedious, it's not so bad to put my nose to the grindstone and work through it. But when I'm not sure how to approach a task, suddenly every distraction in the world is more appealing.
You often see the suggestion to break up big tasks into smaller, baby step chunks to avoid this analysis paralysis. Doesn't help when I'm not even sure what to do yet.

Same with "a napron" -> "an apron"

Weird UI effect (I'm using Chrome 59): When the blue loading bar at the top of the page completes, I get popped back to the top of the page, regardless of where I've scrolled to. Bar finishes loading after ~3-5 seconds.

The study was done with rapid games, against computers, where they discarded human losses on time. Not very confident in those results. But hopefully the researcher gets the chance to try and reproduce and use classical time controls, and human vs. human opponents.

Slightly off topic, but the beauty of Switzerland was such a stark contrast to where I grew up in New Jersey that it almost made me angry. All these people, going about their daily lives in Switzerland seemingly oblivious to the fairy-tale landscape around them!

Pretty cool! Some unexpected results, or at least not what I guessed. "summary" as the top for C#, "SELECT" all the way down at #43 for SQL, "err" as the top for Go (I'm sure that will spawn some pleasant discussion).

Reminds me of this guy. Painful to watch, scary to imagine him in a courtroom.

In case you haven't seen it, Mirrors Edge [1] is an excellent first-person parkour/action game.

How has that worked out for you? I hadn't considered profitable side-project from the buyers side until right now, curious to hear your experience.
Nice, I made a version of that game myself following the tutorials of https://www.youtube.com/@uheartbeast
This was a while ago, he recently put out a ton of new tutorials for Godot 4, good stuff for quickly getting your hands dirty. You're beyond that point I'm sure, just throwing them out here for anyone else looking for nice intro content.
