This is known as PNS Syndrome.
samnardoni··on Go Creeping In
sync.Map?
samnardoni··on Next-generation of GPS satellites are headed to space
Well, yes, that's true. But my point was that they aren't going to change the legacy nav data structure.
samnardoni··on Next-generation of GPS satellites are headed to space
Erm, they aren’t going to change the nav data.
samnardoni··on Scunthorpe Problem
Maybe there’s a reason this is a “not-mentioned” point.
samnardoni··on Chinese city to launch man-made moon to light up skies
All GPS satellites are in a geosynchronous orbit.
samnardoni··on Chinese city to launch man-made moon to light up skies
Geosynchronous is the word you’re looking for.
samnardoni··on Ask HN: What is your best advice for a junior software developer?
Error in boost/bind.hpp:768
samnardoni··on Why Rust closures are somewhat hard
Having a pointer to a stack variable is fine, as long as the stack variable lives longer than the closure.
samnardoni··on Why Rust closures are somewhat hard
Why should Rust “just compile this” when it’s clearly bad code?
samnardoni··on Last satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System launched
That animation clearly shows they are geosynchronous?
samnardoni··on Using Prettier to format your JavaScript code
clang-fmt?
samnardoni··on Goreuse: Generic Code for Go
So it basically just monomorphises?
samnardoni··on Introduction to WebAssembly: why should we care?
You can do all that with JS too. Wasm adds nothing extra. It's perfectly sensible to imagine wasm applications targeting the DOM (which it can do via JS, and will do natively in later releases) just like JS applications do now.
samnardoni··on Introduction to WebAssembly: why should we care?
The point is that wasm doesn't change this; wasm won't make it 'worse'.
samnardoni··on Zero-cost futures in Rust
You can write it both ways. t.method() is the same as T::method(t).
samnardoni··on Computer Language Benchmarks Game – Rust vs. Go
Rust uses LLVM, which does all the optimisation. Go generates the machine code itself and its optimisation is pretty weak compared to LLVM.
samnardoni··on Swift Performance: Too Slow for Production
Why not profile and see where the time is actually going? Slow JSON parsing? Slow I/O?
samnardoni··on OS X Yosemite
Same with the UK store.
samnardoni··on Refactoring Ruby with Monads
I think he/she meant the GC pauses were never longer than 100ms.
samnardoni··on Why Some Schools Are Selling All Their iPads
And people don't do this in "real life" too?
samnardoni··on Smart height adjustable table senses distance to your hand and adjusts to it.
Awful video. I could barely hear what the guy was saying. And the few hundred panning shots with peeling bananas and spreading cream cheese on bread was bizarre.

It might be a decent product though!

samnardoni··on Fast Food for the Mind: Why I Don't Have a Facebook or Twitter Account
It doesn't have to be binary. Just use it less if you don't want to. Use it more if you want to.
samnardoni··on Programming and thinking the functional way
> Maybe that just says something about my intelligence, or maybe the functional camp hasn't yet figured out how to write large programs in a readable way.

You make it sound like we've figured out how to write imperative large programs in a readable way.

samnardoni··on Why I Won't Switch To Go from Node.js
Honest question. Why do people write posts like these?
samnardoni··on Show HN: an online shop that bargains with you
I would never buy anything from an online stored that used this.
samnardoni··on Updated benchmark: capnproto-rust vs. c++
Why? (Genuinely curious...)
samnardoni··on Rust 0.9 released
2 threads can't access the same variable in Rust without unsafe{}. I think, anyway...
samnardoni··on Go 1.3+ Compiler Overhaul
If they wanted every language feature, they'd use C++
samnardoni··on Should you code well or code fast?
Yes.
