  • Here’s the translated Croatian article:

    An incredible Guinness World Record was set in Opatija – Vitomir Maričić held his breath for an astonishing 29 minutes and 3 seconds, leaving both the audience and experts amazed. This is one of the most demanding records, lying at the intersection of sports, medicine, and science.

    The record dive was performed after several minutes of preparation and breathing pure oxygen. The entire attempt was monitored by five judges and an official team to ensure the result was valid according to Guinness rules.

    “Today it was really hard for me to dive; yesterday it was easier, but after the 20th minute, everything became easier – at least mentally,” said Maričić.

    The feat is part of the Fit for the Ocean campaign, which raises funds for the organization Sea Shepherd, known for its fight against illegal fishing. Maričić used the opportunity to highlight the importance of ocean conservation and the need for informed action from all of us.





  • Yeah you’d draw it on a vertical whiteboard, but in physics and math (or at least all the classes I had), you’d always draw a coordinate system with Z going up. I can understand why it would make sense for you to look at XY being a vertical plane, but I feel like it just makes more sense for XY to be the ground.

    Also, convenience wise, especially in e.g. game dev, for 90% of use cases it’s way more convenient for the first two coordinates to be the ground position and the last coordinate be the height. Whenever you’re thinking of the coordinates of something, you’d probably first think about its ground position and then its height, in which case it’s much simpler if those ground coords are at the start, instead of at the beginning and end of a vector.
