Compare with the level of support israel has got. You can be certain people in Ukraine are.

Just about every language is written in C. Even GW-BASIC was written in C (most BASIC interpreters were written in assembly code at the time).

When all the code was being rewritten for Y2K, C was used because it was really the only language that was portable at the time, you could write the program on a PC, and then compile and configure it on a mainframe, or vice versa.

A more pertinent question would be what isn't wriiten in C.

Critical software, like interfaces, machine operation or database systems, are generally not written in C. That's because C code can be dense and obscure. If the original programmer retire or goes missing, and the system crashes, no one else may have a clue what they've actually coded. So a more explicable, higher level language is used and C is quarantined to use in system software where its power and access is useful.

It won't fail because of money. Musk has enough money to fund it out of his petty cash forever.

If it fails, it will fail in the same way the newsnet failed - it becomes full of angry old men screaming about Israel and guns.

A punchcard is two dimensional. Actually you can have multiple dimensions on a punch card, the positions of the card can store different data and you can determine what that is by the position of holes on another part of the card.

Whereas a paper tape, or a magnetic tape is serial and has only one dimension (you can divide the tape into different bands though).

Seems more like a standard CD. It can only be written on once.

Maybe, but the cyber truck has especially bad rear visibility. Worse.than any of its competitors

Worse than a van ? No.

Not to mention it’s 3000 kilos.

A model X weighs 2.3 t. Because of the batteries.

An F150 Lightning weighs 3 tonnes and its bed is made from aluminium.

The US license test is a joke in most states, and then people are allowed to drive 3 metric ton vehicles from a 10 minute drive.

In the US you can drive a rigid truck of almost any size on a bog standard car licence. A 6 t truck with a capacity of 40 t if you want. GM sells an Isuzu cab forward truck (normally with a mildly tuned diesel four) with a frigging massive petrol V8.

It has a conventional chassis. Only the panels are SS.

The extra weight is entirely due to the weight of the batteries.

Until you got a dent and had to replace an entire panel at a huge cost.

What are on about ? You can work SS, its not white cast iron or anything.

The chassis is ordinary carbon steel.
