People then concentrate more on avoiding errors than getting things done.

I suspect you don't touch Go code.

> I've yet to see numbers on the probability of losing access to my email on Gmail vs another provider.

This is a great point. People often act as the other providers are 100 percent reliable without any numbers to back it up. Grass is always greener on the other side. To be fair, Google’s customer service is non-existent though.

I misunderstood your comment. Yes, CLA's make it possible to change the license. I guess CLA's won't work for GPL'd software.

GPL mandates that all derived software must carry the same license. No need for CLA, as I understand it.

AWS, GCP have assurance that they won't need to pay for their Linux infrastructure. What is it if it wasn't for copyleft licenses(GPL)?

I feel copyleft licenses look more favourable at this point of time. What’s the value of more free/business friendly licenses if you can’t guarantee that the same license will apply for all the future releases? Looks more like a bait and switch policy.

Apple should not be at fault! As simple as that.

Wow. That looks neat. Thanks for the link :)

I want to learn more about linkers and loaders. Can someone tell me if this is still relevant today? Any other books that are more recent?

> ChatGPT makes mistakes and is usually dumbish, but is also flexible and cheap.

People wouldn't mind it if the keyword `dumbish` has been all along there.

Physical materials(Filters here) can change the wavelength but not the frequency. So it's still the same UV/light band. You can't change that.

Thanks for the link. As I understood it, it's just the support for the syntax that is mandatory.

VLA support is mandatory in C23? I'd like to know the rationale behind this decision. Can you provide any references? Thanks.

> I see same thing in India where *analysts and experts on twitter opine how Netflix has totally failed in India due to lack of local content and poor execution.

That’s really true whether you believe it or not. However, it appears that Netflix seems to have understood this point. They are adding crazy amount of local content recently. Almost every notable local movie that has been released in the last year is available on Netflix now. Suddenly Amazon Prime has disappeared from the scene. That’s not the case some two years ago.

> for 90% of population Netflix is too expensive

There’s still nearly 140 million potential customers according to your calculation. You seem to underestimate the vastness of India. And more notably the people in India are crazy movie goers, from poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich.

Why in this particular time frame? Just before the performance reviews?

IIRC, Google tried to use Go for their Fuchsia TCP stack and then backtracked. Not a systems programming language for sure.

Thanks. This helps even more. I need not go through all the packages. I'll get a fedora account now :)
