Why is the title in orange? Color does not convey logical information when used in text.

Senior research scientist? So, a forgetful research scientist?
Sevzinn··on Developing in Stockfighter with No Trading Experience
Why not just be more positive?
Sevzinn··on Developing in Stockfighter with No Trading Experience
"Monkey" and "indian" indicate a poisonous attitude, even at 50 years experience. I've dealt with people from India and Brazil, and they are not monkeys. Health and happiness to you anyway.
Sevzinn··on Random Acts of Optimization
Video games programmers have to learn more and make less. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, especially since I can barely understand this particular blog post.

Willing to move to Arizona to not deal with timezone changes.
Sevzinn··on Facebook '2G Tuesdays' to better understand markets like India
What is Facebook? Looks like some website a ten year old boy coded.

Well argued. I clicked and noticed that you happen to be religious, but I see nothing religious about your message here. Thanks!
Sevzinn··on The Problem with the FizzBuzz Problem
5.0 is real. 5 is integer.
Sevzinn··on The Problem with the FizzBuzz Problem
The problem is ego. People don't act like the JSON that computers think like. An array in JSON can represent an unordered set, but people order it according to how they can become superior to others. People should be more like JSON.
Sevzinn··on The programming talent myth
I'm curious if anybody who starts programming in college would ever write such a message. I think "dusklight" started programming around 12 and programs for fun more than 4 hours a day.

I was doing x86 assembly as a teenager and perform terribly compared to at least one person who started in college.

Sevzinn··on Twitter has a huge problem, and it’s in your head
Nope, tweets with all the right hash tags over a few weeks. I got a favorite and maybe a follower on somewhat random remarks, but usually nothing.
Sevzinn··on Twitter has a huge problem, and it’s in your head
When I tried twitter, I found myself ignored and not hated and not loved. I stopped.
Sevzinn··on Is My Code Good?
By the law of headlines, no. Which I agree with!
Sevzinn··on If 1+x is 1, how much is 1-x?
One.
Sevzinn··on A Million Lines of Bad Code
What about the time to write the program?
Sevzinn··on I Quit: What really goes on at Apple
I exaggerate my time worked. Most people are like me.
Sevzinn··on VP9: Faster, better, buffer-free YouTube videos
Since so much of youtube consumption is audio-only, why not have a codec optimized to show nothing, or a still picture? Here at work we used to remote into a machine just to play youtube songs over the speakers. No video needed.
Sevzinn··on VP9: Faster, better, buffer-free YouTube videos
My Vizio p series handles it fine (4K netflix).
Sevzinn··on Pebble has recaptured the top spot for most-funded project on Kickstarter
There was some talk that they did this for publicity and would have no problem getting that kind of money and more from traditional sources.
Sevzinn··on A significant amount of programming is done by superstition
Check .gitignore to see if it appears copy and pasted or actually thought through--this will invariably indicate the quality of the rest of the code.
Sevzinn··on Elon Musk: Tesla cars will have “autopilot mode” by summer
I had something similar on an infiniti a few years back. Literature on the 200C seems like it has the same "lane departure" protection. I don't recall that ever steering to follow the turns in freeways though.
Sevzinn··on A not-so-obvious reason to apply to YC
It was much less not too long ago, as well.
Sevzinn··on OpenSSL Security Advisory
Minimum bounty of $2500 [0]. Those not lucky enough to be a citizen of Germany or other first-world country would be more lured by the dollar amount. As a US citizen, I'd be more interested in putting the fact that I got paid to fix a bug on a CV.

Sevzinn··on Why Spotify Pays So Little
At least for google play music, it will pop up a window if you don't interact with the web page for a few hours.
Sevzinn··on Nevada marijuana legalization gets official OK for 2016 ballot
Neat--it will be interesting to see how all the states go along. There won't be the constitutional issue of gay marriage, so it looks like it's a matter of the federal government leaving it up to the states eventually. Even ethanol had a constitutional component (as opposed to just statute).
