Yeah, 3.3 to 100km/h (IIRC 3.1 to 60mph), around 11.7s for the quarter mile. Basically faster than any Ferrari from the 2000s.

It burns much slower, not faster. That's why it can burn for so long. And it has to be put differently. It's like saying a grease fire is harder to put out because you can't pour water on it. You can easily put it out by covering it, tho, same as battery fires.

This has been exactly my experience. It's not a perfect car but to get a similar experience from a different brand I'd have to pay 30% to 70% more (Model 3 performance vs KiaEV6 GT or BMW i4 M50)

Do you think that every time a gas car gets on fire it makes it to the headlines? Have you heard about selection bias?

My github profile is under my real name, so no thanks. Won't be giving my social security or credit card numbers either.

I assume you program in Javascript and haven't written C code ever. SPARC doesn't allow unaligned memory access to this day, no matter what parameters you throw to the compiler. If a program doesn't process endianness won't work correctly. s/online/inline/g. You didn't even address 4 other arguments.

"if you can compile it, it will work" is just false.

It was implied in the discussion: "if you can compile it, it will work".

There's plenty of ARM processors before Cortex. There's SPARC. And there's a crapton of others with their quirks.

Just because you can compile a program from source, it doesn't guarantee it will work. As mentioned: online assembly, memory alignment, but you can add endianness or questionable pointer arithmetic, not to mention dynamic runtime code generation. And I'm sure there's 5 other reasons that I haven't personally run into.

Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would write bug-free, platform-independent code, alas...

Nonaligned memory access can occur in C code. I'm not speaking about nextcloud, you mentioned "if you can compile it works (for any architecture) ", which is demonstrably false.

Nah, they suck too.

Sometimes I'm on the phone and just want to type a few sentences on-topic, not a history essay.

It's not taking a clear side, sometimes one of them is the topic of conversation.
