One of these is true:
Pretty much all of those are problems that you should deal with.
As sad as it is to say, "in general" no product is. Some stuff is worse than average like cocoa and child slave labor or meat/eggs/dairy and cruelty death for animals but overall unless there's really visible evidence showing a product was produced ethically (or more ethically), then it probably wasn't. After all, if the business selling the item could brag about it, they would.
"They found that in a community of 15,000 electric cars only 1.5 percent of batteries have been replaced if you exclude massive recalls [...] The team also points out that most battery replacements happen when the car is still covered by a warranty."
I'm not sure looking at the stats like that is really all that useful.
There are two situations where the battery replacement happens:
It's definitely not a given that everyone who wants to replace their battery can and does. This post is about longevity, so presumably most of the time in that situation the person will have to cover the cost of replacement themselves.
I want to be clear, I'm not arguing against EVs. I'm just saying this article doesn't really have enough information to draw a conclusion.
First, how is this different from having your IDE fill in your loop templates?
I don't do that actually, but I think there are some differences.
That said:
I’m usually doing this for a customer in a language I’ll never use again.
Maybe you're the one in a million exception where this approach is a benefit. Most of the time when you talk to people on the internet, they're going to assume you're a reasonably typical case and not the extremely rare exception.
Right, but you can’t give it the variable names you’re using and have it fill them in, and if you want to do something inside that loop with
Why are you actively trying to avoid learning how to write the loop? Are you planning to have ChatGPT fill in your loop templates for the rest of your life?
But you do you, I’ll keep using ChatGPT and looking like a miracle worker.
It's going to be slower overall than just using the reference and learning how to do it. I really, really am skeptical that a developer at the level where they need that feature is going to seem like a miracle worker to anyone other than people who are just impressed when you can do anything with a computer.
This is great. Although...
when you see something that sucks, you know exactly how to fix it.
I wish! "Fix" is wayyyy too optimistic.But maybe, just maybe, I could make it suck a tiny bit less. Still left with utter garbage, of course. Okay, well didn't you just say you could make it suck a tiny bit less? So do it again. And again, and...
And it jumped on the man and scratched him all to pieces!
I do like a happy ending. The jerk had it coming. Hopefully the dogs were okay though.
Eating burgers to destroy the environment was good enough for my pappy and it's good enough for me! Kids these days with their new-fangled environment destruction techniques. Pshaw.
On a more serious note, people are eager to criticize stuff that has a relatively tiny effect while there's a much bigger problem they're part of.
