That's covered by:

Some cars it does not support because nobody has been interested in testing it out.

The issue is that the percentage of new cars that could be supported drops as more and more starts encrypting the CAN bus.

Agree, I did a double take on this too.

Values of the same type can be sorted if a order is defined on the type.

It's also strange to contrast "random values" with "integers". You can generate random integers, and they have a "sorting" (depending on what that means though)

Ehm, like in Vietnam's neighbors Laos (ພາສາລາວ) and Cambodia (ខ្មែរ)? Sure Vietnamese used to (a long time ago) be written in its own version of the Chinese script, I'll give you that. But most languages in the region do not use a script derived from Chinese.

But also, does that mean that you have to pay a bank transfer fee every time you buy anything?

No, not at all. The Swish rails are free to users. But I've never had to pay any transfer fees for domestic transfers anyway. They are just much slower than using Swish (instant transfers) and much more clunky (bank account number etc. vs. phone number/QR-code).

I dunno, it seems you have figured it out too, probably before LLMs?

I'd say all speakers of all languages have figured it out and your statement is quite confusing, at least to me.

You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

What is the right answer? Doesn't it depend on the DB? Postgres at least shows rows ordered by last updated time (simplified, I know).

I would be fine if it was "... near the top or bottom" though.

(Or maybe this comment is the correct answer?)

Sweden has a sensible solution to this (im sure others do too). When you register a name you specify which part is the tilltalsnamn (lit. name of adress). In your case, the names would be disambiguated as Joe Frank Smith and Joe Frank Smith.

Not all systems use that piece of information, but most do.

It absolutely helps. It tells everyone that the car is on!

Anecdote: coming from a country where this is mandatory, visiting a country where it's not, I almost got run over because I assumed a car was parked when I glanced left before crossing the road.

Of course, might not prove that one or the other is safer, but it did show me how often I subconsciously use headlights as an indicator of off (=> stationary => safe) vs. on (=> potentially moving => potentially a "threat")

25 days are the mandated minimum. Many have 30 days or more.

Buy not only that, you are entitled to 4 consecutive weeks during the summer months.

Having 4 (or more) weeks off during summer is the norm in Sweden.

So the question is rarely about if you're gonna be off, but rather how you're going to spend that time.

This is incredibly confusing. Of course the plural of zero (as a noun) is zero(e)s. But then you state that you understand that it's not about the noun, and still go on to say that the answers sharing your view are wrong..?

There are constant debates about them in Sweden. Especially after fatal accidents or incidents involving teens driving at speeds above 100 kph. [1][2]

The original law considered tractors and other farm equipment, AIUI. You can drive these so called A-traktor with only a moped or tractor license when you're 15.

I don't get it, why wouldn't you just store tag + count instead? Am I missing something?

But it's not free and legal where they are from, obviously, since they wouldn't need the VPN in that case.

Sounds like Sweden, except the chaotic booking system.

I don't think I've ever seen a diesel train, ever. In fact, for a long time I was (blissfully) unaware of their existence and the fact that they do exist still surprises me...

Only English is not a problem in Sweden (especially Stockholm), and we hire foreign engineers all the time. Some companies have a majority of foreign born engineers, with a wide range of backgrounds (Brazilian, Russian, Spanish, American, etc.)

Ofc, salary comparisons are hard to make vs. the US, but you can live comfortably on an engineer's salary in Sweden.

Some of the biggest "modern" companies include DICE, Klarna and Spotify. More traditional ones are Ericsson, Scania and Volvo.

Hiring is a bit slow right now though, so that has to be kept in mind.

But at age 6 you've already been immersed in the language for 6 years. The problem there is to link it to its written form.

When you learn a second language you have the baggage of the first language hindering you (talking about orthography here), and you normally don't start by speaking the language exclusively for 6 years before learning how to read. If you don't know what the language is supposed to sound like, of course it's hard to understand how to read in it.
