That very much depends on the cost. History is littered with tragically failed experiments in improving farming ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_farming are some of the worst and most well known, but there are many others).

There's some stand-out examples of companies scaling even mysql to ridiculous sizes. But generally speaking, relational databases don't do a great job at synchronous/transactional replication and scalability. That's the trade off you make for having schema checks and whatnot in place.

> it's absolutely not better to support China than supporting Tesla

I disagree. Right now, I wouldn't criticise anyone who buys a Chinese EV. But I would put stickers of Musk doing his nazi salute on Teslas I find in the streets.

> Life shouldn't be politicised that much

That's what one says about political topics that don't impact them. Go tell Ukrainians that they should buy Russian products because "life shouldn't be politicised that much".
What shocks me with European automakers is that all small EVs have disappeared from their offerings. Renault Zoe, Twingo, VW Up, etc. SUVs on the other hand are absolutely everywhere. Public transports are the ultimate solution of course, but we can't do without cars after decades of car-centric urban development.

I don't want to sound rude but essentially $7.25 freelancing job is really great for developing countries like india , its like 5,056.97 per day , which is crazy nuts.

My brother did freelancing before he got his job , in fact he made more money freelancing than with his job , but he personally feels a little saddened I suppose because either he doesn't feel its justified , like a company would generally ask him for work , he would build it and then they would ship it and it would crazy.
In fact one of the times , IIRC (I may be wrong) but he said that he made the whole project himself and the client is making 25$ everyday for that project by literally doing nothing , I know you might think 25$ per day are cheap but in India , its the salary that people would go for a great deal at.

Othertimes he felt the hectic schedule / sometimes got clients / sometimes didn't , he hated that upwork took a lot of his money the first time a client came.

He is enjoying his newly gotten job (he has just graduated) and for now , they aren't making him do any meaningful work except settling in.

I don't know , could you even tell me how I can get a freelancing job online for 7.25$ per hour ?
Only since I got COVID in 2022. That and sharp cheeses. I did pick up a taste for buffalo chicken though, which I previously found disgusting.
But "main" is a much better name anyway (maybe my non-native English bias), so I don't mind in this particular case.
I would not buy it anyway because it's too expensive and I don't want an EV but if I was looking for this kind of car, seeing the CEO acting so stupid would put me off
How it used to work maybe, meme stocks are not tied to any performance or prediction other than stock going up.
Well the US stopped being allies of Europe/Canada, now they are merely partners. And pretty unstable ones. So it seems fair to take it into account.
Germany has a viable economy. It's one of the strongest, most diverse in the world. It's in a recession right now, but we're talking about fluctuations in the 1-percent range here.

If you think Germany is anything close to a failed state then all I can tell you that you either fell for lies or intentionally spread lies yourself.
Some can still learn in spite of that, however.

Arguably, that's even why some gravitate towards it in the first place.
You would have to be making a strong statement to buy a Tesla now, even a second hand one.

And sadly, not a statement about cars.
After one weird trick, Facebook became a lot of more valuable to me... Including its ads. Tldr: be radical about your interests and Facebook will become interesting.

I literally unfollowed all of my friends with the exception of a handful of family members; this means I stopped receiving updates for stuff like "look how cute my baby is in the dinosaur costume". Then I joined dozens of groups narrowly focused on my interests.

The result is an online service were I only read stuff I like, very few reels (unfortunately they don't yet allow you to fully disable reels, but you can still indirectly downvote them) and even the ads are interesting and relevant. I've clicked on a few of them, which fed back to the algorithm and showed me even more products I actually want to buy and news I want to read.
Correct.

If you can't charge an electric car, you shouldn't take a hybrid either, it's the same problem. If you only charge the battery when braking the overall CO2 footprint over the lifecycle of the car is higher than if you had a thermal vehicle.

The reason is a combination of markedly higher CO2-equivalent emissions for manufacturing (two motors instead of one + big battery), increased weight for the same reason which causes an increase in fuel consumption + elevated tire/brakes degradation + decommissioning of the car causes more emissions. And this doesn't include the other negative externalities such as the ecological impact of the additional metal and rare earth extraction.

Hybrid cars only make sense from a CO2 perspective if you charge them and drive exclusively on electricity inside cities, with only an occasional fuel refill before long distance trips.
Every single Tesla ad I've seen is for the cybertruck. Which you can't get in my country. I researched cars online when I bought a car last year and saw a lot of youtube and Facebook ads for Tesla ever since, and I basically viewed Tesla as "the cybertruck company". Is it like this in the EU?
I'm maintaining a non-public mirror of some thousand OSS repositories. When you git clone, you do not use any "default branch", you clone the HEAD of the remote repository. This is a so-called "symbolic ref". People call it "default branch" because they don't know it can also point to a tag, a commit or be in the middle of an broken rebase. And you cannot set that information remotely via git. 'git push' can't do it, as it doesn't make sense for a bare repository.

So, if you have a git mirror in a private location that you need to push to, you get royally fucked in the arse by every project deciding to change their value for HEAD. These people basically broke 'git push' for my usecase.

So either they fix 'git push' to update the symrefs as well or shut up about using anything else than 'master'.
There is truly no suggestions of change to people's lives small enough that someone won't make opposing it part of their identity.
It's remarkable how much both Trump and Farage are cults of personality. I don't think they could easily be replaced. I wonder if Brexit would have happened if Farage hadn't survived his plane crash? Or would the media elect another figurehead to put on all the talk shows?
This is an honest question, in good faith. How so? I'm just curious, an interesting thought.

What a ridiculous comparison!

VW didn't even build cars for consumers during the war years.
Or we could just live without so much sharing and communication. We did it before social media and we were arguably better off. Why is it necessary to be so “closely” connected to so many people? Aren’t the people in our more immediate orbit enough?

Yes yes, I understand marginalized people need to find each other. Alternative options like Mastodon already solve that problem better than Facebook because they aren’t owned by Big Tech/the US government.
The Europeans are very aware of such a threat. There is growing support for buying only domestically produced arms.

At this point I'm wondering what China is doing that is so bad that they're not the vastly better superpower compared to the US.

To be clear, I think it's fine to be excited about what SpaceX does. Elon is not the one thinking, designing, building and flying the rockets.

The east coast and west coast states between them, however, have over half of the US's population and are mostly relatively dense. Transcontinental passenger service might be a little pointless, but clearly there is room for good-quality high speed lines. SF to Seattle, say, would be doable non-stop in about four hours on top-quality conventional (ie ~320km/h) rail. Less with high-speed maglev and other exotics, but now that China seems to have largely lost interest, I'm not sure if anyone is seriously pursuing those.

I agree with the recommendation to use (z)diff3. I think the article massively understates the case! Three way diff makes it possible to resolve some conflicts that are literally impossible to resolve without it. Why impossible? Because with default style adding conflicting things at the same place is indistinguishable from removing the same things at the same place. You need to be able to see the base to determine that.

I wrote up more here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63739655/997606

hmm very interesting.

So can I write a book on any technical topic or programming languages only?

My main nut which I like to crack is breaking nat's. It drives me crazy when I can play a minecraft server on nats.
But I also don't want to reveal such things because they work because I spent hours tinkering and if I tell to the world , it would take the nat owners just minutes fixing it. But still , I don't know , I was thinking of creating an article because book seems pretty heavy.

How long does the book have to be , can it be a 50 75 pages long ? or does it have to be insanely bulky like 1000 pages ?

Sorry if I sound a bit immature because I totally am. I always used to think of blogs as a way to increase my reputation but now I am thinking why not both ? the topics I am good at , can really be both blog / article and a mini book.

Should it be digital or should it be by a publisher ?
How has he "interfered" in European politics? AFAIK all he has done is state his opinion.
Would never happen.

Shareholder votes to give Elon $50B in compensation.

The courts threw it out, so they voted again.

And gave it to him again.

They know Tesla’s success hinges on having Musk run it.
OP, probably like me, isn't putting money against Tesla.

And at some point, reality comes crashing down.

Tesla will not dominate the autonomous taxi market. Basically every major car company has tech comparable with Tesla (Mercedes, GM, etc).

Tesla will not dominate the battery market. Heck, I think they still DON'T make their own batteries (it's all collaborations with LG Chemical and other chemical companies and they have shared licensing and stuff).

And you can fool some people all the time and all the people some time, but you can't fool all the people, all the time.

Once Tesla becomes a bit player in China (Chinese companies are ruthless), gets mauled in Europe (starting to happen), what could possibly justify their market cap? The US? It will be saturated at a certain point. India? Not growing fast enough to make up for it, the Indian economy is 1/7th the US one and Indian disposable incomes are probably 1/50th the US ones...

But that really isn't true either. The model 3, for example, has undergone 3 or 4 refreshes that change a lot. They have not dramatically changed the exterior of the car, which I know a lot of people think is absolutely critical, since an 8 year old model 3 looks almost identical to a new model 3.

Most car makers haven't released new models in a long time, they just update their current models, and make them visibly different from the outside.

Now… if you were talking about the lack of new feature _in_ the car, then I would be happy to agree. And if you want to talk about the _still_ lacking functionality of automatic wipers…

Did he want to dump Farage?

I thought he wanted Farage to let Tommy Robinson join reform in return for a large donation.

> It would also be history repeating itself since Farage's old party went from winning elections to being a complete irrelevance when Farage "retired" and the hooligans joined

IIRC the trigger for Farage to leave that party (he had already resigned as leader) was the new party leader wanted to form an alliance with Tommy Robinson's lot.

At least in the UK the license plate lets you know when the car was registered, so it's simple to tell if they bought the Tesla before Elon went off the cliff fully. I'm not going to begrudge anyone who doesn't sell their car, my judgement is reserved for the people buying them now
> To me, a car is a white good... As long as it fulfills my needs, getting me from A to B safely and cheaply, that's all I care.

Given that the resale value is the most significant factor of "cheaply" in a £40,000 asset, a negative brand image is an important factor here - even if you consider your fellow citizens to be NPCs.

Yes, yes it does. Why is it inconceivable that people don't want to give money to Musk? It's called voting with your wallet. I may like the car, but I deeply disagree with the business owner's views and deranged behavior over the last couple of years. The easiest thing I can do is to give my money to someone else instead.

Ultimately it doesn't matter whether Musk truly believes some of the lunacy he says, his actions speak for him. I disagree with his actions and don't want to support him. He could make the best car in the world for all I care.
Drove an ID5 on a trip in France last year, really good car.
To be fair, in the US, Tesla has the best FSD, by far.

But in the EU the self-driving software they released sucks (even Mercedes has way better system, at least in Germany, and takes liability on their shoulders), other electric cars have better finish, and they have support for things like Stalks, that European users actually want, due to roundabouts.
Feels like you didn't book a taxi before Uber. Going up to them (no apps back then) and maybe they were or weren't legit, they were expensive, and they would sometimes tell you a price and then charge your differently at the end of the journey, getting annoyed if you challenged it, and you had to pay cash, and you couldn't easily speak to your driver or see where they were on the route to you...so much worse.

> Rigid in as I like things to be concise and precise as possible. The more rigid the definition, the fewer things a word can be.

I think there two, arguably three, concepts being conflated here:

1. Narrow vs broad - how much is included within the set being referred to

2. Smooth vs sharp - whether the distinction has a sudden cut-off or is more gradual

3. Ambiguous vs unambiguous - whether the term have multiple separate (possibly overlapping) definitions

Or to illustrate: https://i.imgur.com/DQBWpTY.png

I don't see inherent advantage to a term being narrow, nor to being broad. The more useful definition on this axis is just the one that best matches what you intend to refer to, which may well be the larger set. Sometimes you want to talk about all bovine, sometimes you want to talk about only cows. For this blog post I'd claim the more useful definition of "machine-readable format" is the common one, because it was being used to refer to a set including JSON/XML/etc., opposed to your narrower definition which only includes formats that are additionally not readable by humans.

A preference for sharper definitions could make more sense, depending on context - but I don't think your definition is really any sharper; whether something is "specialized" for instance still comes in varying degrees with no clear cut-off, with arguably every existant tool/program being "specialized" to some extent - in very much the same way as you argue against the common definition of machine-readable.

Ambiguity is probably the property I'd say is the least desirable. By pushing to give the term an alternate definition that to my knowledge is not otherwise in common use and does not align with the literal meaning, I'd argue you are increasing ambiguity. I don't personally think the idea that languages like HTML are not machine-readable formats will catch on.

> > Language is capable of expressing broad and narrow concepts. I don't think it can be said that either is inherently "more useful" - it just depends what you're intending to convey.

> Sure, language isn't a perfect conveyor of meaning, that's for sure.

The fact that language can convey both narrow and broad concepts is not a flaw; a language without the ability to refer to broad concepts would be distinctly less useful.

> Just say something like THE text format on Linux or whatever.

There are binary files in machine-readable formats. In fact, binary files are probably more in machine-readable formats than text files, on average.
