I promise you I won't give a shit about the unsubsidized price.

close() on a chan is "indicate end-of-transmission"; you should only ever use it from the send end. There is no way to explicitly "close" the receive end.
You can use `select` to do a non-blocking sends/receives, but yeah normal sends/receives are blocking.
$0.80 in bulk. Around $1.25 for individual quantities, depending on who your reseller is.
AIUI, the CPU cores are a small fraction of the die area compared to all the peripherals on the chip.
But yes, framing TCO as an optimization is unfortunate.
type IntBox struct { v int }
type StrBox struct { v string }
func (b IntBox) MapToStr(f func(int) string) StrBox {
return StrBox{v: f(b.v)}
}
It wasn't a great example because "Box" isn't really a useful type. But the point is that you no longer need to define a separate "MapToXXX" method for every type you might want to map to; now you can have just one type-generic "Map" method.
I mean that's also Git's style of development.
Gotta stick the "This product includes software developed or owned by Caldera International, Inc." notice on it though.
The dominant legal theory is that the GPL can only be enforced by the party holding the copyright. SFC's lawsuit against Vizio is strategically trying to establish precedent changing that; establishing that end-users are "third party beneficiaries" under the GPL, so others can enforce the GPL; but for now the copyright holder is the only one who can enforce it.
So the FSF could only take it up if the violation is on projects that do copyright-assignment to the FSF (i.e.: most GNU stuff). If you do find a violation of GNU stuff, the process is "email license-violation@gnu.org". I do not know what process Craig and Krzysztof use when triaging reports and deciding what to pursue.
Many Linux-kernel contributors (also, SFC member projects such as OpenWrt, Git, Qemu) have assigned their copyright to SFC or named SFC as their legal representative (also, SFC member projects; so SFC can take up something like this. Similarly, you can report violations to them by emailing compliance@sfconservancy.org (see https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/help.html for more info).
Now, SFC is aware of more violations than they could ever possibly pursue, so they're strategic about pursuing ones that are high-impact. I'm not sure how they decide that. But I can say that medical devices are near-and-dear to them, between executive-director Karen Sandler's implanted defibrillator and policy-fellow Bradley Kühn's blood glucose monitor.
