This rebuttal is... poor, I guess? Not disingenuous or anything, but lots of wishful thinking and (for lack of a better term) "inside baseball"-objections. Like sure H3 might be a …

YoY sales are down while other automakers are up, Q3 might be an artifact of EV incentives expiring. Iirc other manufactures also saw an increase in EV sales in Q3.

I don't know that I've ever heard such a violent "woosh" as the goalposts were moved. Going from "obviously happened, consistent with evidence" to "the problem is the way it was di…

Only became a problem in combination with other missteps (or constraints, like dev needing to be routable). Which is what makes this kind of stuff so insidious.

It's this. Discovery, immediate mitigation, deeper mitigation, general notice, notifying effected users - all these can happen pretty quickly once the ball is rolling. Once you're …

The House has already passed a couple bills funding the government, in whole or in part[1]. They haven't been taken up in the Senate. One of the bills passed this week: https://www…

There's a pretty strong connection between the numbers the tool has and market rates - it's not like the numbers are pushed top down, they come from actually participating in the h…

You also install runtimes once for other languages. GOPATH isn't awful, but it's something more than "just source" as claimed in the article; which is my point. Go is simple, but n…

My point is that `go generate` requires more than just source, and thus isn't "simpler" in the manner claimed in the article. I'm not judging the existence of `go generate` or it's…

And? Presumably some of these packages get updated, handed off, or are collaborative in the first place. Re-generating is part of continuing development.

This oversells golang's simplicity I think. Not a lot, but enough to rub me the wrong way a tiny bit. --- > Go programs are built from just their source, which includes all the inf…

Something of an in joke I suppose, but design thought it was funny enough to leave as is.

Localization probably kills that, since this is displayed to users a not-insignificant amount of the time. "9" is pretty well universal (I know, not strictly, but for software Arab…

Such as? App compat's out (ie. "Run this program in compatibility mode for"), too many libraries. They'd never get an accurate enough list of affected programs. They can't change t…

It doesn't even cover C#, just C++ and Java. C# has it's flaws certainly, but it's a baffling omission.

After thinking on this for a while, I personally doubt the license applies. Most importantly, it applies to the software (ie. the Perl script; or a compiled version of it) not the …
