speed equation tetris
For speed I used the formula:
delay = 725 * .85 ^ level + level
Where delay is the time (in milliseconds) before the block falls one row -- That equation reaches its minimum at level 30 (35.5 ms delay) and begins to climb again until delay = level (basicly the game slows down about 6ms per drop by level 41). However, I was modeling a certain behavior, and you might have better performance with a more general equation:
delay = delay_at_level_0 / (level + 1)
Where delay_at_level_0 is a constant

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
