PSeitz··on Residents in faster places tend to report feeling somewhat happier
>Money first gives you more options to do what you want but ultimately it gives you power. And power gives you leverage to change the world: first your own world and then the whole world. In other words, with money, you can do more and you're happier for that.

PSeitz··on How one man made 22 games in 22 years, mostly from his basement

PSeitz··on Why MVC doesn't fit the web
It could also say, MVC doesn't fit anywhere. You usually just want to separate application-independent components, and application dependent coding.

PSeitz··on My Adventures with “4K” 2160p and Linux

PSeitz··on V8 Optimization Killers
The article states "Code compiled by the optimizing compiler can easily be, say, 100x faster than the code generated by the generic compiler"

So expected a quite more than a factor of 2 ...

PSeitz··on V8 Optimization Killers
